MAKES TRAY SERVICE EASY
Little Things That Help Where Many Meals Are Served in
 Room

Where many meals are served in a room 1t Is well to hunt up some of the novelties that make such service easy.
 Very new is a tray of white porce- lain with silver or nickel trimmings. This is fitted with grooves of the metal in which are set two cups and saucers, tea pot. cream jug, butter plate, toast rack, marmalade jar and small breakfast plate
 Smaller but equally convenient is a combination salt and pepper shaker set in a little stand, which holds a glass butter plate and knife. The stand has a curved handle, which makes it easy to lift from the main tray when not in use.
 Another convenience Is the tea spoon with perforations that make it possible to send up a jug of boil ing water and have tea just the right strength.

Laundry Help.

To iron "cold starched" pieces with out any trouble whatever: Take the required amount of starch, dissolve in cold water, adding enough boiling water to make starch warm (not cooked). Dip parts to be starched into it, rubbing or spatting the starch well in. Fold and let remain over night. Thus treated the pieces will iron as easily and as well as the clothes ordinarily starched, without sticking and without starck streaking and rolling up on the goods.

The Walat Line

Though the waist line is less yer satile than it used to be, and is more and more inclined to assume the con ventional position. the empire effect Is still to be seen. For reception and dancing gowns 1t is graceful, and the soft outline it gives to the figure is delightfully."- picturesque But for the street all this Is out of place; 1t gives the wearer a silhouette that Is un- tidy, and suggests a looseness that is altogether objectionable. In regard also to evening gowns the same fault may be found. So long as toilette is to be worn chiefly while walking or standing, the short waist Is permissi- ble-even desirable-but for a din ner concert or theater it is no longer so. The bust unconf1ned falls out of shape, and the figure cut is most un- attractive-and it Is the realization of this fact that has led to so many of the newest evening bodices being made with swathed draperies and close fitting lines

VELVET BANDS ARE FIXED
Some Kind of Black Adornment Seen on Almost Every Kind of
 coIffure Today.

Black velvet bands, one or two, studded with gold or jeweled buckles, are for the classic style of coiffure. while the more coquettish girl uses them finished with a knot on each side, a spray of silver aigrette on one side or a bunch of dropping silk rose balls.
 Satin ribbon Is used as a twist, soft folds. fiat bands. plain, embroid- cred, beaded, lace appliqued, ditto gilt, with a bow, fan. knot. etc. just back of the left ear
 The exact position for the chief or nament of a band is according to the wearer's head, a long. short. or broad shape requiring different placing of this finishing. touch. All ages from fifteen years wear hair ornaments.
 It will not be long before yellow hair will again be the fashion. The mahogany shade so long favored is showing lighter effects all the time. and hair dyes are rapidly approach ing the straw tint. And 1t has been made plain that the new gold or straw tsnt is to be without luster.

VIRGINIA CHICKEN SALAD
Correct Recipe for Dish That Is Pop ular at Christmas and on Spe-
 cial Occasions.

Here is the correct recipe for the Genuine Virginia chicken salad It is served at Christmas and on other spe- ciPl occasions: For making the dress ing for this salad the chicken oil, skim med from the water in which the chickens are boiled, is used in place of the olive oil. The chickens, which must be plump. are simmered tender in lightly salted water. When cold the skin and bones are removed and the meat cut, not chopped, into small bits. Mix with double the quantity of celery cut from tender, well-bleached stalks that have been crisped in ice water, then dried in a clean towel, minced and added to the mixture, which is then dresesd with a good salad dressing, preferably mayonnaise, and set on the ice to chill and ripen.

STATIONERY IN THE BoUDoIR
French Dimity This season Seems to Have Been Set Apart for Use
 of the Young Girl.

For young girls use there Is no stationery more suitable than the fabric finished surfaced French dim ity which comes in white. gray and stone blue square sheets of core spondence and nasty note size, with envelopes of matching dimensions. Of an equally refined and dainty char acter are the linen lawn papers in solid tints of aeroplane, dawn pink. Baltic blue, willow green, orchid and cream-the hemstitched fabric cross bar in white bordered with a pale shade of color, and the diagonally striped fabric in two tones of mauve. blue or buff
 A fad of the hour, and one permis- s1ble only as joke when a note passes between two very intimate young girls. is the red-edged, tan-col- ored "Chanticler" paper, which has a growing rooster embossed at the top of each sheet
 Lawnette correspondence cards for acceptance and regrets are accom- panied by envelopes having semi elliptical or triangular flaps on which monogram or initial may be en- graved. This stationery comes in variety of pale tints, of which buff, pale gray. gray-blue or whit are pret- tiest-
 Luncheon place cards matching the shades and patterns of the French dimity and crossbar lawn fabric fin ished stationery are exceedingly smart and in eminently good taste, as are also cards of umbrella shape bearing hand painted violets, daisies and cro- cuses and in cut out flower and fig ure designs.

 As Mark Eldridge walked as far as the companionway door with Mildred he felt a strange depression-as if some dear treasure were slipping from his grasp.
 The next morning Mildred followed her father down the long passages which let them out on the steerage deck They found the boy of the vio- lin standing at the very nose of the boat, his head thrown back to the full force of the wind. He turned upon hearing footsteps ana Mildred met the inviting charm of his smile. He was only a lad, perhaps twenty-two or three, and there was in him the spon- taneous freedom of a broad nature. His face was of an ivory pallor with lips of scarlet; his eyes alone, blazoned forth the brilliant color of his soul, for the face otherwise was more of the dream type.
 Mildred Vaughn was scarcely eigh- teen, yet her temperament had given her a sensitive intuition and she felt nothing so much as a desire to run away and hide before meeting this boy musician.

So far 1t has been balanced by weighttng the shore span with 600 tons of steel rails. When finally completed, the bridge will weigh more than one thou sand tons, and it will be the longest span of its kind.

SHE WORKS FOR THE QUEEN

London.-In a little cottage in the pastoral village of Shelton. near Rush. den, in Northamptonshire Mrs. Jane Morris, little old woman, put forth every energy to complete an assign ment given her by Queen Mary. Mrs Morris was to have certain number of yards of wonderful lace ready for her majesty's use on the occasion of the coronation, and it was done on time.
 The lace is known as Bedfordshire pillow lace. and with it Queen Mary had some of her coronation garments embroidered. The lace is of exquisite beauty and it takes the little old wom-
