SERVING LUNCHEON
WIT0HOUT A MAID

A young maron who asked six friends
TO luncheon suddenly found herself
without a maid. She was equal to the oc-
casion, however, and said nothing to her
guests about the very important missing
member OF her household
Before going to the dining-room each
girl was handed a ribbon bow, to which
was attached a safety pin, and told to
find her place by matching the colors at
the places.
1t did not take long to appropriate the
pretty aprons with the strings OF ribbon
to match each bow. They were made
OF large colored handkerchiefs. and the
point forming the bib was pinned up by
the safety pin and bow. Anchovy
canapes was the first course.
After they were eaten the hostess turn
ed to the guest at her right and said:
Look under your plate and do what the
card says"
And the little card bore this request:
please remove the plates and bring in
the SOUP"
Amid much merriment this was &C
complished, the bouillon being already
on a tray over the gas. which was turn
ed low.
Another guest removed the cups and
brought in the next course. Minute d.
rections were on each card.
The hostess did not find II necessary
to leave the table and the absence Of the
maid was voted to have made the party
q great success. Every one declared
that the aprons were the most acceptable
OF souvenirs.

Frances Starr Wears Lovely

The clothes worn by Frances Starr in

Theater this week, are marvellous crea-

of New York. In the first act, Miss
Starr wears a gown OF fl d'Augnier lace
over a very sensitive rose chiffon under
slip, the latter having what Bendel has
so appropriately termed the Apache
hike" in the back. Round about the
borders Of the gown is a festoon of roses
OF a deeper shade Of pink.
The skirt is fashioned of the fl d'Aueg-
nier lace in two valances, the front OF
which forms a double apron and the back
suggesting the outline OF the skirt.
The dainty waist, which is sure to ap-
peal to the hearts Of all women. is made
very simple of the same sensitive rose
chiffon. With this waist Miss Starr wears
a girdle of natter blue made of tinsel
cloth. Over this is worn a little coat
of which Bendel is the originator, which
he has most beautifully baptized "the
vestal." This vestal, composed Of the
same lace used in the gown, is very

For the information OF the curious

Twisting in mid-air, he came
down in shallow water astride the al

caught them in his hands and
wrenched them wide apart. We could
hear the swapping of bones across the
river

hors de combat, but not dead, to the
bank, seized his cudgel, and belabof-
ed that tough and armored head until
life was extinct.
when the alligator was dead, the
gorilla called his wife and baby, who
had been hiding in the bush, spoke
to them, tucked his. cudgel under his
arm, and with his family at his heels,
strobe off through the forest.

chest with hairy paws. The booming
blows reached JUS, more and more
