MISTAKES WE WOMEN MAKE


 Pltase heed the rules I am going to give you, as. they will be just as good five or ten years from now as they are today By keeping them constantly in mind and obeying them. you can make a picture of yourself. So many women, I regret to says do the opposite thing.
 If you wish to make yourself as att tractive as possible. use yosn eyes and q good deal of commonsense when dressing your hair. Study the lines Of your head. and the shape of your face and your hair itself and I think you will evolve a Satisfactory coiffure. Do not,y I beg of you. if you are the maid with hair straight as a String and black as a. ravens wing. attempt to curl and wave it until it is in a state Of so-caI1ed artistic disorder. Black, straight hair looks at it's worst arranged thus. Let the hair follow ly as 1t wiIls only accentuate it's gloss by polishing it nightly with a square of black velvet and, of course, keep 1t fainf1y scented. Glossy black locks drawn loosely over the ears and coil- ed in mass of sf1keh puffs and rolls coinure to be proud of.
 Should your hair ba duffy and light in word, altogether frivolous. toss it up loosely on the crown of the head and let q few cur1s stray llith- CT and thither across your forehead. AS matter Of fact you are doubtless yearning to plaster your haif down smoothly over your ears but refrain from committing this mistake. Y our hair is not to the manner born and will refuae to t'stay put s Banish all thought ef the coiffure a Ia Italian and cling to the Billy Burke style of hairdressing. E
 Never try to make your head look like the wax models, you see in your

 Velvet millinery will surely have a great vogue this autumn
 Cavalier capes are being made now adays for quite little girls,
 A hat shaped like. a jockey cap is the latest whim in millinery.
 There seems to be a decided return to long simple lines dress.

 These may be served from a buffet or at small tables. When the wedding takes place in the country the re- treatments can be served from tents a, long table taking up one end Walters standing behind 1t pass over what is asked for to the men guests who in turn take it to the women.
 Fortunately for family that wishes the arrangements carried out in good taste. but whose means are limited, it is considered vulgar to serve any but the most simple. refreshments at wedding. The quality, however, must
 be of the best.
 sIt will be sufficient. if chicken or lobster salad is provided. dainty bread and butter three-cornered sandwich es, stuffed olives and cheese crackers, ice cream, with small fancy cakes walters and bonbons completing the list of eatab1es. The liquids may be
 punch, lemonade and black coffee SaIted almonds may be added, if pre- ferred. Then therekis the brides cake
 of course. This always occupies the
 center of the table. Allow two sets of spoons, plates, forks, cups, and glasses to each expected guest
 In catering kfor fifty guests, two 1 pounds of coffee will be required, also three pounds Of sugar in cubes, three
 pints of Scream, ten 1oaves of bread. 1 two and one-haH pounds of butter, l eight pounds of ham, two quartsS of 1 olives, 150s tiny cakes that are sold by the poupds four medium sized
 chickens, if chicken salad is to be served; two heads of celery. one quart cream. s One pound of ham chopped fine i will make fifty sandwiches, but if the ham is sliced it will make more. The bread for sandwiches should be at 1 least a day old. Tn some places, the
 baker will cut the bread into thin slices ready for the sandwiches if the order Is given ahead of time. This is a great convenience and the extra l charge will be small A little lettuce
 should go into the sandwiches Make
 the chicken salad at home, using the
 best of olive oil and the freshest of eggss Also blanch and saltN the al-
 1nonds at home. It will be cheaper. \ than buying them prepared and their i freshness will be assured. In making l the coffee put itAdry into cheesecloth

LITTLE BLANCHE.
By Virginia Vale.

g5
 Once upon a time little Blanche lived with her father and mother in light house. She was born and had lived there all of her life. Once in a while she went with her mother to the main land to visit but she was always glad to get back to her lighthouse home although of course she didn't have any playmates nor could she go to school.
 Her father had built little play house for her quite near the lighthouse and she spent nearly all of her time there. She had collected lots of beau tiful shells and seaweed and also had a glass tank with. a great many differ eflt kinds of fish in it.
 Each morning she, would feed her pets. They would swim to the edge of ,the tank and some Of them would eat out of her hand. Her father had to see that the glass of the light was kept bright and clear and Blanche was often allowed to help.
 One day a party of visitors came to see the lighthouse and a little girl was among the party. Blanche show ed her pets and the little house her father had built. Blanche's moth ed made tea. for them and they had I a little party all by themselves while the older people rested.
 Blanche was so sorry to have them go as it was the first time she had ever had playmate, and she had enjoyed it very much
 About a week after the visit she 1 had a letter from her new friend who l wrote that she had little gift 10, her and the next time her father wen 1 to the mainland he was to get 1t anc bring it home.
