fell. and one splashed on her white

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In oIden Days. Among Other Accom-
iIshments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter Of old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady OF the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-.
tress of the ceremonies-she carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
~ pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu. for II she
gave dinner OF several courses 1t
was her duty to announce to the
guests. seated cxpectantly. what was
due to appear at table. A dinner OF
one course and she remarked that
"they saw their dinner"
Then her powers OF gentle pers'in'
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles Of his knife and fork into his
plate. and the sight OF knife In posi-.
tion was the signal for the hostess to
inquire "if he would please to have
something more"
In the art OF carving. OF course.
the mistress OF any country house
was n past mistress. One recalls Indy
Mary Montagu's flight after perfec-
ton under the wing OF professional
carving master: She took three les
sons n week. that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days: when. In
order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions. she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand"

He didn't come.
Her dinner. without much appetite.
she ate alone in her salon; saw doc
tor and made him prescribe something
for the cough that racked her chest;
looked out to the warm. bright gardens
of the Tuilleries fading into the pallid
loveliness of sunset. Indifferent to
everything In the world-except Dan
Blair. She believed she would soon
be Indifferent to him. too; then every
thing would be done with. Now she
wondered had he really gone-had he
done what he threatened? Why didn't
he come? At twelve o'clock that night.
as she lay among the cushions Of her
sofa, doing, the door OF her parlor
was pushed in. She sprang up with
a cry of delight: but when Ponio-
towsky came up to her she exclaimed:
"Oh, you'll" And the languor and
boredom with which she said his name
made the prince laugh shortly.
"Yes, !. Who did you think 1t was?"
Cynically and rather cruelty he looked
down at Lefty Lane and admired the
picture she made; small. exquisite, her
blond head against the dark velvet OF
the lounge, her gray eyes Intensified
by the fatigue under them.
"Just got in from Carlsbad: came
directly here. How-de-do? You look.
you know" he scrutinized her
through his single eyeglass-"most
frightfully seedy."
"Oh. I'm all right" She left the
sofa, for she wanted to prevent his
nearer approach. Have you had eny
supper? I'll call Higgins"
mo. no. sit down. please. will you!
I want to know why you sent to Carls-
bad for me? Have you come to your
senses?"
He was as mad about the beautiful
creature as q man of his temperament
could be. Exhausted by excess and
bored with life. she charmed and
amused him. and In order to have her
with him always. to be master Of her
caprices, he was willing to make any
sacrifice.
Have you sent OF that imbecile
boy?" And at her look he stopped and
shrugged. You need rest. my child. :"

men to enter matrimony," declared
Nettie Lovisa White in an address
on suffrage under the auspices OF the
National Suffrage Association which
was held at the residence of Mrs. A.
l.. Barber. at Belmont, this morning
1T is not debatable question that
American women are very much over

Miss White told the assembly what
had been done and what was being
hoped for in the suffrage movement
in this country. The campaign, she
explained, was for freedom of suf-
