MAKES NOVEL TRUMP MARKER
Dainty Present for Those Of Ones
Friends Who Approve Of Card
Playing.

Quite little novelty in the way of
trump marker may be seen in the
accompanying sketch, and it can be
made with the aid of any small square
cardboard box. The box is filled with
sand to give weight, and the exterior
is then neatly covered with pale blue
silk on which hearts, clubs, diamonds
and spades have been embroidered, so
that one of these emblems appears on
each side of the box. The edges Of
the box are finished off with a fine
dark blue silk cord.
When complete, the marker should
somewhat resemble a large dice, with,
Of course, hearts, spades, etc., upon 1t
instead Of numbers.
To use the marker, it merely has
to be placed upon the table in full
view of all the players, and to mark
the suit that may happen to be
trumps, that side of the box repre-
senting the trump card uppermost.
A little novelty Of this kind looks
pretty, and would be sure to prove an

TAKE UP ENGLISH CUSTOM
Serving Of Afternoon Tea Has Become
General With American Hostesses
-Repast Made Simple.

The custom of serving tea has be-
come almost as general with Ameri-
cans nowadays as with their English
relatives. The difference in large
cities especially is that tea hour is
frequently spent at fashionable tea
rooms or hotel restaurants. The vari-
GUS occupations or pastimes which at.
tract women to the shopping districts
or the theaters in the same neighbor-
hood incline women to drop in" for
light refreshment near where they
chance to be- At the large hotels there
Is likely to be table set with tempt
Ing confections, spun sugar baskets
and flowers that delight the eye, while
the pastries are displayed.
In the home the matter of serving
tea for the family group or the casual
caller is a simple hospitality easy to
adopt With tea kettle and an alco-
hol lamp the beverage may be brewed
in few moments. Lemon, sliced, and
loaf sugar are the general accompani-
ments, and only waters that may be
bought need be added 1t is considered
better form nowadays not to serve
hearty or "mussy" dainties for callers
wearing gloves
The daintiness Of appointments is
essential. A large mahogany or wicker
tray, in lieu of silver one, holds the
service, which is brought into the room
at the time of serving. Small stands
with two or three shelves for holding
as many plates of crackers or bonbons
are a convenience for serving. 1t is
also good form to use small linen or
damask napkins smaller than are used
for luncheon or breakfast. These may
be hemstitched or scalloped and are in
the best style when ornamented with a
small embroidered initial.

erately large and trimmed with fur A
bouquet of flowers pinned to the muff
Is worn quite as often as at the cor
sage.
Bands of fur as trimming are al
most never omitted from muffs made
of fabric. AS in millinery, the fur is
quite often an imitation of the skin
for which it is called, but the fabric
muff, being a shortlived affair as COM
pared with one of fur, does not need
to be so durable, and hence the imita-
tation furs serve the purpose of trim
ming very well.
A muff of black velvet shown here
Is trimmed with bands of imitation err

ting are to be had, some of them ready
lined with soft satin, to which the vel.
vet or other fabric is to be sewed. If
a down bed is used it Is advisable to
first cover it with thin interlining, to
keep the down from working out.
The fabric is draped on the bed in a
number of ways In the muff illustrated
the velvet is laid in few irregular
plaits, with wide over-hanging ruffles
at the end lined with soft satin. 1t is
trimmed with band Of white fur at
each end and ermine tails finish the
bands.
Two bands are shown, such as are
used for trimming dresses, muffs and
hats. Such furore for fur trimmings
has developed that 1t is predicted 1t
will appear in spring and perhaps sum,

passed the official was standing on the

SEE THAT THE FRUIT IS RIPE
Bananas and Apples Especially Are
Unfit TO Eat If They Have Least
Suspicion of Greenness.

a fact of special interest at this
time OF year is that some of the com.
monest fruits contain starch instead
of sugar until they have fully ripened.
Raw starch is very indigestible, which
explains the frequent necessity for
"green-apple medicine"
Most conspicuous in respect to their
starch content are bananas and ap-
pies. Reports from the National Bu-
reau of Chemistry show that Baldwin
apples examined contained more than
4 per cent. of starch while green, less
than one-Quarter Of per cent. when
ripe. and none at all when overripe.
The percentage of sugar, on the other
hand, had increased more than four
times. showing that all the starch had
been converted into sugar during the
ripening process. Bananas show simi,
lar changes as they ripen.
These facts teach us that only thor
oughly ripe fruits are most suitable
for eating raw; that scarcely ripe0sa
apples and bananas. like gooseberriss
and currants. are best adapted to cooii-
ing; and that all persons who eat raw
fruits should chew them thoroughly
on account of the starch they are liza
BILE TO contain.

mus Midget had to face alone an op-
portunity and a question. such as are
given to few men TO solve.
Should he try to save those black
dots alone, and run the risk OF losing
his life and all chance that they
might be saved? Or should he return
to the station, call ou the rest Of the
crew and do what would then be easy

The final outcome is proof enough
that 1t was no selfish fear OF his own
life that caused him to hesitate-rath-
