Dining Cars in
Other Lands.

Other Lands provision for the inner
man that would not
entail the stop Of twenty minutes for
dinner. Therefore. Europe and Asia, as
well as America, have adopted the dining
car.
In India. where the railroads are gov
ernment owned, the dining car is pro-
vided for the purpose Of satisfying the
hunger and thirst Of the Englishman
It Is true that the Indian hotels enter
tain twice as many American tourists as
English travellers. but then the great
body OF Anglo-Indian officials. both mill
tary and civil, must be considered
Corridor trains are rarely seen in India,

electric fan above your table. and over
the window a contraption made Of cocoa
nDer mating called "tattie." This is
pulled down over the window screen, and
a stop-cock above turned on so that water
will trickle over the mating and keep it
wet. This serves to strain the dust and
cinderes out Of the air, and to keep things
comparatively cool, thing much to be

coolth ends. The dinner is that of Eng
land. beginning with gravy soup and ex-
tending through six meat courses, fianked
with warm beer or warm whisky and

you have done, you must needs stay with
the table until the train stops at a station

own compartment and the American ideal

omelet he took claret, and he washed
down a chop with an abundance of
champagne. Just to show that he was

VOGUE FOR RIBBON JEWELRY.

persistent vogue as the many

easiest thing to manage with the mar
row skirt. But how many think OF the
way they display their hosiery while
performing this athletic feat? Let these
women stand near trolley station and
watch for themselves. They win then
receive instruction upon what not to do.
But 1t is really astonishing what men
do with their feet If they would look
about they would tell you they never
do such things themselves. But just look
around and see for yourself We don't
have to go any further than the street
car. which is used by all classes Of men.
But let me tell you 1t Is not the laboring
men to whom J. refer. since they do not
sit and stand in quite the same way.
We are all taught that the proper
way to sit is with our feet resting
straight on the floor. Do men cit that
way. even in the public cars? Some do.
but very few. In a street car a few
days ago one man had his left foot
thrown across his right knee. hand
holding his foot in position. This was
not an ignorant man. but he was inter-
ested In the conversation of a friend and
perhaps didn't know what he was doing
What would this man think OF woman
who did the same thing? He would put
her down in his estimation as one not
of the best sort: but what OF himself?
Again in a commuters train all that
could be seen OF one man above his
shoulders was foot. Imagine above
his shoulders! One foot was resting on
the seat in front OF him. naturally rails
ing the same knee end the other foot
was across his knee, thereby raising
that foot to his shoulders. since he had
slipped down in his seat
Are the men the only persons who are
tired or do work that is nerve racking?
What about women? Does the woman
commuter have work that is monoto-
nous, and Is 1t not nervous strain for
her to be sitting at a typewriter the
most of the day. or interviewing men
and talking on business all day without
any relaxation? DO you suppose that
this Is not firing to women? Pray tell,
what would the man think Of her II she
did such things?
Is 1t quite fair for the man to do
what he would not permit his wife,
mother or sister to do? They forget
that training In proper sitting. standing,
the proper use Of the feet and hands
Of man are the same as for the
woman Men on trains will raise their

percorns. The filing should be piled
considerably higher than the surface OF
the beet and masked with a thick cream
salad dressing. the whole resting on a
bed Of lettuce leaves. When such
salad Is made from leftovers OF fish tho
quantity OF the filing can be increased
by the addition Of chopped hard boiled
eggs or bits OF cold boiled potato.
Some Of the jeliied Ash salads are at.
tractively served in individual moulds
with sardine or spiral Of anchovy
framed In ring OF tomato or green
pepper as decoration. Such a salad IL
supposed to be eaten from the case or
shell In which 1t 10 moulded. Other Jel-
lied fish salads have the decoration AZ
the bottom. SO that when reversed on q
bed OF shredded cabbage or lettuce the
decoration will be in evidence. An un-
sweetened lemon jelly. with a slight
fiavoring Of Madeira, is one OF the
simplest forms of gelatine to use In this
way.
An unusual meat salad consists OF =
thin slice OF cold boiled ham curved to
represent q horn Of plenty, skewered
with toOthpick on the underside and
concealed by the filing OF potato and
celery salad. This makes an attractive
appearance whether on foundation OF
coldslaw or lettuce. The same idea can
be carried out with a freshly cut slice
OF rare roast beef, tho cornucopia filled
with any preferred combination OF cold
vegetables mixed with salad dressing.
The familiar tomato surprise salad 10

1t shuts off their light.
Another position common among men
is the resting OF their arms on a chair
and extending their feet out straight.
I wonder II they know that their feet
look about twice their actual size when
they do this. without the thought of
many times compelling people TO walk
around rather than to take a chance OF
tripping over the feet.
Some physicians have said that when
women sit with their legs crossed 1t will
cause appendicitis. This may or may
not be true. but II this will cause q
woman to develop appendicitis, will II
not cause a man to have the same

FEET AND HANDS: MEN SHOULD
CONSIDER WHAT TO DO WITH
THEM AS WELL AS WOMEN.

TN these days of narrow skirts we
hear much of the way in which
i women sit in street cars, at church
and In their homes; the way they
walk and handle their feet; also the dis
play of hosiery. Women are criticised
seriously for this. One fair question to
ask the men as they stand about
amused is; What do they do with their
feet when In company? Another. which
is but fair to the women: Do they as
husbands. fathers or brothers. go home
and tell the women folk of the unkind
remarks passed upon them as they
travel back and forth?
Every woman knows that the high
steps on many street cars are not the
