The following sentiments are just the thing to write upon the place cards to be used at luncheon or din ner given in honor of a woman or girl who is going away. After all are seated the guests may be asked to read the line upon her card. In this way very pretty tribute will be paid the honored guest:
 None knew thee but to love thee.
 Blessings be about you, dear, wher- ever you may go.
 Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.
 Mistress of herself, though China falls.
 She moves a goddess and she looks 8 queen.
 She was . phantom of delight.

 She is pretty to walk with and witty to talk with.
 Gentle and true, simple and kind was she, noble of nnien. with gracious speech to all.

POINTS ABOUT THE c0IFFURE
Should Always Be Arranged In Keep. Ing With Period Represented
 by the Costume.

Every toilette of historical design, even though it may only remotely re- semble the dress of the past, should be suited with a coiffure arranged in keeping with the period represented. With gown of the mid-Victorian per suasion the hair should be parted in the center and brushed over the ears, so that they are completely hidden. At the back there should be loosely puffed chignon.
 The simplest of adornments may trim the hair for the evening, and it should take the form of a band of velvet or a double cordon of little flowers.
 Ornamental tortoise-shell pins may be worn, and, as 1t is considered ad- vantageous to the appearance and good for the hair not to use numbers of hairpins, tortoise-shell prongs may be substituted. One is exactly like a large hairpin, inasmuch as 1t is made of gold and has crinkled sides, so that It can hold the hair securely, and at the top a row of diamonds Is set.
 With the spiral dress, as the classi cal robe of today has been called, ow ing to the fact that 1t is draped round and round the figure, there should be a classical coiffure rather reminiscent of the mid-Victoriar vogue.
 The hair is parted in the middle and at the back is arranged in loose | ly woven basket plait. A wreath oi small roses makes pretty ornament Tor such a coiffure, and in the center may be posed a couple of Mercury wings brilliant with simili diamonds

The Stamp Upside Down.

He was gallant post office clerk. and business for the moment was slack. Presently, to his joy, there en- :ered a beautiful young lady.
 "What can I do for your" he asked with unusual affability.
 q want two-cent stamp" said his customer. land would you mind weighing this letter for me, as I'm afraid it may be a little too heavy"
 Mind? The very reverse. He was delighted, and chatted glibly about the weather while he executed her order. He even volunteered to lick and affix the stamp for her-a courtesy which she accepted with dainty blush.
 Just as he was laying the stamp carefully on the precious envelope, however, she stopped him.
 Put it upside down." she requested.
 "Why?" he asked.
 "Oh," she replied, '+that means some thing to Charlie!"
 And the clerks interest vanished as the clouds of monotony once more gathered on his horizon.

SOME IDEAS FOR GIFTS
DAINTY NOVELTIES SURE TO
 PLEASE THE RECIPIENT.
Clever Needlewoman Never Need Be at a Loss for Suitable Present. More Pleasing When Made
 by Hand.

A gift that is made by hand Is al ways twice as valuable as one that is bought, and so many dainty novelties are seen now that offer suggestions for needlewomen that no one need be at loss as to what to make for the traveller or the girl graduate or the bride of these summer days.
 To begin with the woman who Is going away-there are so many gifts one hardly knows where to start, but one of the incest is a set of dress envelopes" for her trunk.
 These envelopes are made of heavy linen, the shape copied from any en- velope, and they should be the size of the trunk. At least a half dozen may be made, bound with ribbon and work ed with a monogram, and then into them may be slipped the travellers prettiest frocks, keeping them from ever. coming in contact with the oth- er things in the trunk
 Sometimes these envelopes are sim ply doubled sheets of bristol board or heavy cardboard, covered with linen and tied together with ribbon.
 Another nice gift to make for the traveller is 8 set of bags for her shoes, or a case lined with oiled silk for her toilet articles.
 For a bride-to-be the gifts are also Infinite in number and variety. A half dozen little guest towels marked with cross-stitch designs, satchet pads for the chest in which her trousseau Is kept, anything in the way of house. hold linen marked with her monogram, and also any bit of handmade lin. geries you may select.
 Nothing very new, you say. We'll, perhaps not, but they will be new and wonderful to the girl wrapped in her dreams of future and present hap. piness
 For the girl graduate there are many presents easily made. One of these Is a pretty case of kodak pic. lures made from long strips of linen fastened together, the inner strip be. Ing made with "buttonholes" wide enough for the pictures at intervals both top and bottom.
 These may then be folded over and over and tied with ribbons, the girls monogram and the date being worked on the outside edge.-
 Another novel and attractive gift is a set of collars, cuffs, a jabot, belt and hat band, all of hand-worked linen, edged perhaps with tiny frills of lace, while another nice gift for either bride or girl graduate is a set of aprons-a work apron, an em broidery aprons-being half way UT to form huge pocket for work), a chafing dish apron and garden apron all made by hand and embroidered with the girls monogram.

Sheer Guimpes.

The collarless neck is the favorite this summer. Those who prefer 8 slight covering of some sort can use the sheerest of cream or flesh col. ored net or illusion-indeed, so near the color of the skin is 1t that at a little distance it defies the eye sight. The guimpes should fit perfect ly; as rule they are made with arm holes and are held in position with several tapes. Once adjusted, there is no danger of their losing their DO sition.

New Colors.

There are two new colors this sea. son in wall papers-apricot and "mal achite" or water" green. Both colors are beautiful, but while the apricot is suitable for backgrounds the green can be used only in small quantities. The apricot is the color so frequently seen in old Chinese rugs. The green Is a very soft blue green. The word "malachite' describes 1t as well as 1t can be described. It is the color one sees frequently on the crest of a wave. The grays are particularly soft and lovely this year.-Harper's BaZar.

stronuer Chiffon Sleeves.

With the increasing desire for sheer sleeves and yokes an excellent chiffon has been substituted by the makers for that perilous quality which gave way with the slightest suggestion oi wear. This is more readily found in black, white, and flesh color, and will undoubtedly bring joy to the heart of the woman who has longed for but bravely denied herself the luxury of chiffon sleeves.-Harper'i Bazar.
