MkNING TABLE PRETTY
DECORATIONS MUST FOLLOW
DICTATES OF FASHION.
Grouped Bases Are Just Now Much
in Favor-Comhination Flower
Holders in White Dresden
Charming for Summer

There are fashions in table decora-
tOns as in everything else; lust now
grouped vases are in favor. While
these were introduced last season,
there are interesting changes.
Instead Of the smaller vases for the
corners Of the table connected with
the large central one by long chains,
it is newer to have the set more close
Iy grouped, so as to stand on the cen
terpiece or glass plaque.
One handsome set has a tall cen
trail vase Of cut silver with four small
matching vases Joined to it by curved
openwork guards.
Another new set has a larger glass
basket Overlaid with silver with four
small baskets held to the central one
by short silver links fastened to the
handles.
For cheaper effects two sizes of
wicker baskets can be gilded and
joined by raphia rings, also gilded.
Watch sales, and get four small
vases to match and a larger one in
the same design. In this way a sty-
fish table decoration can be had at
small cost. If you want the vases
linked, fine nickled chains can be
bought and joined to the standards
of the vases, but they are not espe-
cially new and the floral effect is
equally good without them. The
linked glass chains are more artistic
with glass vases than the china ones.
or pretty effects can be had with
chains of crystal beads.
These combination flower holders
are charming for summer cottages in
white Dresden or beIlique. They
come in novel shapes, many of them
connected by low fence-Iike arrange
met in the same ware. One in Greek
design had all the bases shaped like
q Doric column, with the tops hollow
ed to hold flowers
Very new and artistic, with CORE
spending cost, is an oval floral ar
rangement for the center of the table
1t has a mirror about three-quarters
of a yard long, bordered with mar
row silver rim. This holds in the
center a low oval vase of rock crystal,
supplied with a wire netting for keep
ing the flowers erect
At each end of the mirror are semi
circular sections to hold short
stemmed flowers, with a tall, slender
vase to cap each section At the
sides, filing in the Intervening space,
are two other low sections rectangu-
lar in shape. Wonderful floral com
binations can be arranged in these.

LIBERTY SILK FOR SUMMER
New and Exquisite Thing for Sum.
mer Evening Wear Has Just
Come Out.

Liberty. who is famous for his light
and colored wraps, has sent over a
new and exquisite thing to be used for
summer evenings. 1t is in shaded lib
erty silk, usually in pink, and the col
oring is worked up in the marvellous
way for which he is famous. The un-
derside is a darker pink than the out
side, and is turned back in the form
of great envelope flaps below the
waist.
The back is draped up toward the
waist line and the edges are finished
with a shirred puff, which is edged
with a silk cording. There is not
bit of embroidery or lace on it; it
nearly covers the gown, and it can be
worn with any kind of costume PRO
vided the coIors do not clash.
If one cannot get the silk in the
colorings one wants it, then it would
be advisable to copy this wrap in that
new reversible satin which is exceed
tngly fashionable and can be got in
any combination of coIors one de-
SireS.
Among the lovely and ornate wraps
which have been brought out for eve
ming wear are those i'll printed chiffon
cloth in the Persian colors. There is
one in black which is almost covered
with a soft-hued design in dull blue,
red, yellow and pink. This is IN
lined, is quite long, falls full and slim
ly from shoulders to hem, and is gath
cred up at the side seams, at waist
line, in such a way that it forms a
tube-like opening for the arms.
This is finished with deep ruf1e
of dull red satin, and the fronts are
fastened with two streamers of satin,
which are slipped through a mother
of pearl ring that looks like the kind
used for babies rattles. There is
wide lace collar in duh ecru Venetian
weave.

Dance Hornpipe, Whistle, Sing
and Do Anything mad"
English Doctor Declares Few Minutes
of Boisterousness Just Before Co.

Sleep Producer.

London.-Dance a hornpipe, whistle,
sing and do anything mad" you can
think Of ten minutes before going to
bed-if you would sleep soundIy and
well.
BE as merry as you can during that
ten minutes. Make faces at yourself
in a glass, waltz your way upstairs,
and conclude with lively two-step
and, If you are an athlete, a somer-
sault on the bedroom carpet.
These were some Of the ideas given
by a well-known doctor as a remedy
for insomnia
Just about this time many people
are suffering from sleeplessness. In
one case a man, who ordinarily sleeps
soundly the whole night through, has
scarcely slept a wink for the past four
or five days.
'Sleeplessness is probably a com
mon ailment at the present time ow-
ing to the frequent changes of wealth
err said the doctor whose views are
given above
Much, however, depends upon the
individual temperament and ones
state OF health. Political excitement
may account for insomnia among
many people.
las for rem edies for sleeplessness,
| do not believe in the many serious
cures which are offered by well-mean-
ing doctors and others to the public.
Sufferers are advised to do Swedish
drill or other exercises before going to
bed, and then, when between the
sheets, to add up colossal sums, count
innumerable imaginary sheep jumping
visionary gates and work out anagrams.
MY views are quite different. For
ten minutes before going to bed
man should, in my opinion. give him

LEG Is GRATED ON

If this operation is successful with
animals. there is no reason why
human beings cannot be mended in
the same way.
For example, a railroad wreck &C.
ours and an arm of a victim is sew
cred. If he is rushed to the hospital
in time the severed limb may be
grated back without danger 1t
would be practically impossible to get
another man to give up his arm to re-
place the severed member This is
about the only thing in the path of
this triumph of surgery.
Although the saving of an infants
life by TRANSMISSION is not a common
operation, it has been performed sue
cessfuly a number of times. Last
week fathers arm was bound to

saved. 1t is merely a feat Of joining
the arteries together; the joining of
dismembered limbs would be 10 more
difficult"
In proof of his statements the doc
tor has photographs Of a number of
dogs with grated legs. The livers had
been removed and reunited in some
of the dogs. Several of the animals
are travelling on the grated legs.

his body were affected, but not to
such an extent We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the

into commissions. The family doctor

did not do any good, SO we took him

was done. But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that it could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival In Duluth. the Cuti-

We started using them in May, 1909,

New York.-Biggest among the fine
Holsters caught in many a day at
Bermuda was that shared by William E.
Leavitt, who forthwith gave his
friends at the st. George hotel, on

Mr.. Leavitt's monster lobster was
caught in a wire pot. If it had pos
sessed claws like the Holsters caught
anywhere around New York there
might have been trouble before the
crustacean was landed safe and sound
in a pot on the hotel range. but as
the Bermuda Holsters are without the
