Fashions in Table Service.

Fashion is tickle in table service as
we'll as in other things. The dinner table
of today is not what it was few years
ago. All the ornateness of decoration has
departed and centerpieces no longer re-
semble jungles, while one can eat at one's
ease without being surrounded by silly
little china cupids and swans.
The whole scheme of decoration for the
modern dinner table makes for simplicity.
Any suggestion of ostentation is bad
form. The table is not strewn with
trailing smilaX and loose flowers. nor
is the bare mahogany seen as of old,
except for luncheon or breakfast.
There is a reversa. of taste in favor
of good linen, plain glass. good flowers
and a general practical simplicity Of serv-
ice in every detail. Glass bowls with a
few we'll selected flowers are even sup
planting the silver ones. but the latter
are often of such real beauty and lend
to the table such distinction that it will
be difficult to supplant them entirely.
Odd little novelties for the table have
crept i'm recently. One of the newest is
a small cruet frame for each guest, and
these cruets contain nothing but pepper
of different kinds. Cayenne, Nepaul, Ait
(from Peru. Hungarian. paprika and
Chile powder are used SO that each guest
may fsvor his food to his taste The
really up-to-date person nowadays pre-
tends to be an expert in pepper.

MANNER OF DEVEL OPING
A GRACEFUL CARRIAGE
Exercise Ankles and Step on Balls of Feet
First ShortSteps When
Walking.

A girl who picks up her feet instead
Of dragging them as she walks will be
a more attractive figure when wearing
the present light skirts than she who
moves clumsily. In point of fact girls
are not as particular as they might be to
walk well. When skirts are full this de-
feet does not matter SO much, for dra-
peries slightly conceal awkwardness. but
the present mode has not that advan-
tage.
AS to the, actual act of walking. it is
not through keeping her knees stiff as
she moves along sidewalk that girl
will give herself good carriage, though.
Judging from the frequency that ] have
seen this gait recently. think some such
idea prevails. But the knees must bend
and at the same time there should be
ankle action. so that when the foot is
lifted from the pavement it goes up light
ly for a few inches, with toes pointed
outward. and is brought down toes first.
a little farther along the pavement. This
is a gait which will make a girl appear
exceedingly graceful.
A person doubling this statement can
have no better example than to notice
some of the high bred horses pulling the
carriages of fashionable women.
Those horses have free knee action: at

Latest Hat Pins.

ornamental hat pins are more fas J.
ionable than ever this season, and the
latest fancy is to have them covered
with satin. velvet. lace or embroidery
to match the hat with which they are
worn. Like many other dainty things.
these pins are expensive to buy. but
the girl who has clever fingers can
make them for herself quickly and
easily. All that she has to do is to
turn out her scrap drawer and collect
all the tiny pieces Of finery which have
been left over from the trimming of
hats and the making. of gowns; then
she must get some cotton wool-black
or white, according to the color which
her pins are to be-and lastly the pins
themselves. which can be bought at
four for penny from any draper. They
are the long. plain ones. which are so
convenient to use. because. being made
of steel. they are much stronger than
those made of gold or silver
Wrap the head Of each pin in a wad
of cotton wool, which can be made
either quite small or SO large that the
pins will make decoration for the
side Of the hat. Fasten the wool in
place by a stitch or a drop Of gum.
Now cut square OF silk or satin
about four inches large each way for a
moderate pin, and from FIVE to six
for a large one. Turn down narrow
edges all round the silk at the wrong
side. Run in a gauging thread an
eighth of an inch from the bottom and
an eighth OF an inch from the top. Lay
the wadded head OF the pin in be-
tween the running threads, draw them
up, fasten off one above and one be-
low the wadding. close up the opening
between them with neat little stitches
and there is your pin.
The same idea may be elaborated in
number Of ways. For instance, the
tiny square of silk may be trimmed
with rows of lace. which stand out in
full fluffy frills after the gauging is
drawn up. Or the silk may be en-
| broidered. or trimmed with beads OF

A Social Note.

In all matters social as we'll as business
promptness is essential. That queries OF
demands must be answered immediatel!
in business a girl learns speedily II she
is a working woman. because any failure
to respond at once brings her a reprl-
mand or worse.
Rut in social affairs she cannot be rep
rimanded. save sometimes by old friends
and some girls never learn the impor'
lance of being punctuar in accepting In
vitations or acknowledging gifts. II
either case she cannot be too prompt
This statement applies to all situations
where an answer Of any kind is re-
quired.
A query not fnfrequently received from
girls who are about to be married IS
''How soon shall they acknowledge theii
wedding gifts?"
The day on which present is received
is none too soon to write note OF thanks
to the sender. To delay rs to give an ap-
pearance of indifference that the average
bride cannot afford to indulge IN. for
example. one bride of this winter, whose
social engagements Immediately proceed
ing her marriage and the number of
gifts she received both were so great that
ALI presents could not be acknowledged
before she went on her wedding trip, was
considered rude because not until week
afterWarO ulO size Tic 6iNCAS'
Christmas presents and birthday gifts
must be responded to immediately 1nvi-
tatlons should he accepted or declined In
the mail following that In which they are
received. To delay or to answer indefi-
nitkly is the worst possible form. For ex-
annie a married woman and her hus-
band were invited to a dinner this win
ter, and such a long time went by with
out a response that the hostess teie-
phoned to know if the invitation had been
received.
1t had been, she was told, but the
other woman had waited to see II her
husband would be free to accept. The de-
lay spoiled the dinner party because the
day following the woman invited wrote tC
say that her husband was unable to accept
and so they must decline. 1t was too
late for the hostess to ask another couple
to fiji the vacant places, and SO the table
was minus two.
Under such circumstances the woman
invited should have declined the instant
the invitation was received. 1t is never
just to the hostess to wait II there is
the least shadow Of doubt.

the same time the joint. just above the
moor, bends. Theirs is not a gait which
covers much ground in short space of
time. but it makes a good effect, and is
not stiff.
Few girls walk with sufficient ankle
action. and stiffness in these joints &C
counts many times for awkwardness
when dancing. II girl thinks that her
ankles are not timber when in motion
she should spend at least five minutes
morning and night doing exercises that
will improve them and help her walk
She should sit and rest one knee over
the other to bring one foot out, well
raised from the floor. No shoe or slip
per is to be worn at this time
The toes are to be pointed straight out
from the ankle joint. and from this same
joint there must be a screwing move
ment bringing the foot around, first one
side and then the other as far as it will
go without disturbing the position of the
knee. Following this action the foot
must be pointed down as far as it will
bend. all work coming from the ankle.
The latter exercise will tend to devotion
the instep symmetrically.
The exercise work should be done equal
~ with each foot. lengthenng the time
as muscles grow accustomed to II.
