STYLE IN SANDWICHES
JUST NOW THE ROLL SEEMS TO
BE IN VOGUE.
TrlaneIes and Narrow Oblongs Also
Are Much Favored-Nice Discrimi-
nation Called for on Part Of
the Hostess.

The modern sandwich is small and
shapely. The favorite form just now
is round. though triangles and mar
row oblongs are also good. A rather
novel form is the roll. The thin slice
is spread as for a sandwich, then roll
ed in on itself until about the thick
ness of two fingers. Sharp biscuit
cutters are used for round shapes aft
er the slices of bread are put together
with the filling.
Too great care cannot be eaken in
shaping, as sandwiches of uneven size
are not appetizing and reflect upon
the social knowledge of the hostess.
If made several hours before they
are used, sandwiches are packed close
ly together and wrapped in a linen
cloth wrung from ice water. then In
dry cloth.
Pass on silver sandwich plates, with
lace dolly Underneath, or neatly heap
ed on a fiat china or glass plate COW
cred with dolly. Where many sand
giches are served a small chop plate
is often utilized. Where there is a
muffin stand the sandwich plate is set
on one of the shelves, with a plate of
crackers and a basket OF small cakes
on the other two.
Sandwich filings are of three or
ders-meat, in which is included fish
and egg sandwiches; cheese mixtures,
and sweet sandwiches.
There are also various green's,
though lettuce is so much used with
all forms that it can scarcely be
classed by itself. In this class may
be put celery or endive run through
fine meat chopper and mixed with
mayonnaise; cress and nasturtium
tendrils and pods mixed with French
dressing, and parsley chopped fine and
mixed with shredded peppers or
shredded onion.
For tea purposes decided onion mix
lures are better or,itted, though finely
chopped white onion is relished with
capers and anchovy filings.
For ordinary purposes cold meat or
poultry run through fine chopper and
mixed to a paste, with rich cream and

licious and not so rich as the mayor.

Some CARPET Notes.

Do you know that carpet. like an
cient Gaul. is divided into three
classeses? First there is the jacquard
carpet with cut or uncut pile and a
mechanical repeat from pattern. In
this class are included brussels, will
ton and ingram. Then there is the
enlightening title of non-jacquard. Ak
minister and chenille carpets are in
this group.
Finally. there is the printed class.

Everyone wears a scarf. Much gilt

A Matter of Dictati0n
By NELLIE G.. GILMORE

Cromlin entered his Office with a
brisker step than usual. His face was
flushed and an unaccustomed sparkle
made his gray eyes look black. There
was determination in every Inca
ment, and a joyous confidence that
spelled considerably more than mere
hope. He had made up his mind at
last, and he felt with supreme gratifi-
cation that his period of self-restraint
was going to net him compound in
terest on his future happiness.
A pile of briefs Vas stacked up on
his desk, but Cromlin pushed them
aside and gave his attention to the
letters that had arrived in the morn
ing mail. There were only few. and
he dismissed them after a hurried
perusal of the most important ones.
Two or three times he took out his
watch waiting anxiously for the
hands to get around to nine o'clock. At

corner struck the hour, the Office door
opened and closed quietly, and Miss

chine and began the task.

chair and studied the profile bent at

Now, for the first time, Cromlin

noticeably thinner and paler and that
her eyes were Swallowed by purple
rings.

An authority on the subject says
that anarchy comprises all attempts to
