Everyone may not learn to set a
table a~rtistically, but there are few
who cannot learn to set it much bet
ter than they do. 1t is called art by
some, and as such should be recog-
nized by everyone.
1t is not so much what is put ON
the table in the form of dishes, linen
and service as how it is done. I'm
usual, faddish setting of the table
should be avoided for the everyday
or holiday meal, unless 1t would be
for such days as Halloween.
The setting of the table usually falls
to the daughter Of the house, if there
is one; If not, the mother does it
herself or directs how it should be
done if there is a helper in the home.
There is no place in the entire home
which a show the individual ar
tistic touch of mother n daughter as
the table, and there are some abso-
lutely fixed rules for the placing of
most of the service.
In the first place, linens should be
spotless and white, and as fine as
your style of living will warrant, the
simpler ones for everyday use and
the liner ones for special occasions.
They may be all this, but if not
perfectly washed the corners of cloth
folded perfectly even, the very
foundation of the table setting viii
be a failure.
Table decorations should not be too
elan3lsit and Always in keeping with
the character Of the day celebrated

P. S,-What is your opinion Of my

AS you are not engaged to the
young lady, the gifts which Madame
Grundy has decreed you may bestow

the list comprise only flowers, candy
and books, but just for variety l
would add stationery, pictures n
any little desk piece, such as a letter
opener, an ink-well, a pen tray, or q

The tar-Spangled Banner

My dear Miss Doom:
l shall be very much Obliged to you II
you will print the words of The Star
Spangled Banner"
CONSTANT READER.
Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early
light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
thro' the perilous fight,
Der the ramparts we watched, were
so calamity streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our 1ag
was still there.
Oh, say, does that st~ar-spangled banner
yet wave
Ger the and of the free and the home OF
the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists
of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread
silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, Ger the
towering steep,
As it htfully blows, half eoncsals. hall
d~iscloses?
Now 1t catches the CLEAN of the morn
ing's first beam,
stream;
Ills the s~tar-spangled banner; oh, LONG
may it wave
Der the land of the free and the home Of
the brave.
And where is that band who so vaunt-
ingly swore,
That the havoc Of wal and the battles
confusion,
A home and a country should leave us nc
more?
Their blood has washed out their fou,
footsteps pollution.
| No refuge could save the hiring ant
slave
From the terror of fight or the gloon
of the grave;
And the ~star-spangled banner In triumph
doth wave
Ger the land Of the free and the home o.
the brave.
oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall
stand
Between their loved and wild wars dcs
~olation;
Blest with victory peace, may thu
heav'n-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made ant
preserved us a natloni
Then conquer we must, when our caus'
it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is on
trustl'
And the s~tar-spangled banner in triumph
shall wave
Der the Liant Of the free and the homo ol
the brave.

FASHIONABLE SLEEVES
BY MAY MANTON

Every woman knows that kzs

These are all new and smart and will
be found invaluable for remodeling
as well as for the new gown. No. !

lend themselves to combinations OF
materials with exceptional success
The cuff Of No. 2 can be made from
trimming material quite az well ~
from that of the gown proper, and
No. 3 can be treated in several ways.
In place of making the under sleeve
of all-over lace it and the draped
portion could be made of one ma
terial, while the cap liz of a different
one, or the cap can be made to match
the blouse, while the draped portion
is of thinner material of the same
color. such as chiffon. and the under
sleeve is of lace. Sleeves of this kind
that are made in sections do not re-
quire large pieces, and this fact in a.
self makes them available. No. 2 can
be made with or without a lining.

Wishes to Increase Weight

MY dear Miss Doom:
I would appreciate it very much
IL you would publish in your vaiua-
BILE paper a way to gain in weight.
Thanking you in advance, / am,
Yours very truly, /. G. ).
Some people seem to be constitu-
ona thin, but even these, by
living systematically, can often add
a few pounds if they are willing to
%persevere.
Eat plenty of nourishing food, fruit,
vegetables, meat, especially rare beef,
eggs, soups, drink milk and avoid tea
and coffee. Milk into which a raw
egg had been beaten is said to be
very n%ourishing. Three glasses OF
milk and three eggs a day ought to
help along wonderfully. Before each
meal tax a tablespoonful of pure
olive oil, and be sure that the oil Is
pure. Drink plenty of water. Be
sure to sleep at least eight hours a
night, and If you are in a position to
do so take an hours nap every after
noon.
Avoid hurry and worry, for they
are enemies to flesh and health. You
