FOR THE TEA TABLE.

Nothing is better with the cup of aft
ernoon tea, perhaps. than slice of
crisp buttcred toast. But now and
then a sweet cake is relished as
change. Moreover, it is far easier to
prepare tea and cakes than tea and
toast For the cakes can be made
ahead of time and kept in one of the
pretty cake boxes specially made for
tea table use. Some of them are tin
boxes covered with chintz or cretonne,
some Of them are tin boxes painted or
enameled in dainty coloro.
Here are recipes for some delicious
cakes and cookies. all of which can be
kept on hand for many days without
losing their freshness:
MARGUERITES = Cut sheet Of
sponge cake into small rounds with
cooky cutter and dip in melted sweet
chocolate. While still moist, form a
daisy on the top of each. using blanch-
ed almonds for petals and round yellow
bonbons for the centers
GINGER NUTS-One and three-quar-
tiers pounds of strip, one pound of
moist sugar, one pound of butter. ~
ginger, IL ounces of allspice. ~
ounces Of coriander seed. sal volatile
size Of a bean, little cayenne. flour
enough to roll out. but not thin; cut
with a wineglass or roll between your
hands into small balls and pinch.
CITRON HEART CAKES-Beat half
pound of butter to a cream, take six
eggs, beat the whites to a froth. and
the yolks with half a pound of sugar
and rather more than half a pound OF
sifted -four, beat these well together
add a wineglass Of brandy and quarter
of a pound OF citron cut in thin slips
bake 1t in small heart-shaped tins or q
square tin pan. rubbed over with BIT
of sponge dipped in melted butter: put
the mixture in half an inch deep. bake
fifteen or twenty minutes in a quick
oven.
NUT wAFERsLone cup fine brown
sugar, one tablespoonful butter, mixed
| together, add one beaten egg and Y
tablespoons flour. heaping, one cur
chopped English walnuts. Drop with
a teaspoon on we'll buttered tin sheets
Bake in hot oven. Cool slightly before
removing from the tin.
| OATMEAL COOKIES-Four cups roll
ed oats, two cups wheat -four, two cupi
| brown sugar, one cup butter, one-thirt
cup water or milk, scant teaspoonfu
soda, roll quite thin and cut in squares

eral small ones. The rug should be
rather monotonous in color and figure
If II is a figured rug.
A plain square of one or two-toned
carpet gives the most sizable look.
Against the wall opposite the door hang
mirror over a table On the table
there can be a couple Of books. n vase
of flowers, card basket and one or
two attractive knickknacks.
Three rather large. substantial chairs
may be the only other furniture in the
room. or a couple of chairs and n settee
or sofa of some sort. A very few pic
lures should be used on the walls-pref-
erably one large one on one wall. and
perhaps two or three on the wall with
the mirror. But don't cover the walls
with little pictures. as this breaks up
the apparent space.
If a room is too big-in our cities the
rooms are seldom too big nowadays
break the size up by separating the fur
niture into groups. Before the fireplace
place big lounge or couch f1anked by
a couple of big comfortable chairs. Be-
hind the couch place a reading table
with two more comfortable chairs drawn
near ii.
In corner place a tea. table and in
another a sewing table with a sociable
little chair for sewing. Run book shelves
around part of the wall. up to a height
of three or four feet, and put few good
ornaments on the shelves, with candle
sticks and lamps scattered about on the
ror in such a room let 1t be one over the
fireplace. tilted n little SO that it re-
fleets the room beneath.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. October Tt is curious
about wells. They come and go with
all the capriciousness accredited to
skirts and sleeves and hats. One would
think that the person who liked veil
would always wear one. but this Is not
the case Sometimes 1t Is fashionable
to adorn the hat with them; again,
they go quite beyond the fashionable
horizon and the women of two con-
tinents give them up simultaneously.
1t has not been the thing to wear
wells in Paris for ;-inost two years.
They were given Up about the same
time that 1t was no longer considered
necessary to wear long evening gloves
at a dance or a dinner or the play.
The conservatives pooh-poohed both
ideas, saying that a lady was not prop
erIy dressed who went in the street
without veil or out in the evening
without the hands and arms covered.
No one seemed to be able to give
o very good rea son for this argument,
but the women who insisted that their
hair was never tidy without a veil had
q good personal reason that served
The oculists pushed along the veilless
idea, because they claimed the eyes
were benefited thereby; although there
eyes were protected by veil which
kept the dust out

scientific opinion since II has changed

Women always knew that. All one
had to do to prove 1t was to point to
those who had worn corsets. well laced

A Ribbon Coat.

A ribbon coat similar in style to a
sweater is made of twelve-inch-w wide
Roman stripe ribbon. which has wide
stripes OF black and rose colors COM
bined with Roman stripe colors. The
coat is in finger-tip length. Revers
and the roll collar. as well as the
cuffs, are made of rose color. The sash
or loose girdle is finished on the end
with tassels. The sash is tied slight
ly below the waist line and is similar
in all respects to a sweater, even to
the patch pockets. which are arranged
on either side.

CHANGE YOUR ROOM.

Are your ceilings too high? Are they
too low? Are the rooms of your house
too large or are they too small? Is
there too much shade or too much sum
shine about your house? If there is
anything in excess connected with your
house don't calmly accept it as a neces-
sity. Go to work to combat it. to change
it, to counterfeit it. With a little careful
thought you can do this.
Suppose your living room has low
ceiling and is dark. Use a light wall
paper and still lighter ceiling to give
height as we'll as light. Hang thin white
or cream curtains, or scrim or net. from
the very tops of the window frames
straight to the floor at the sides Of the
windows. These long, light lines add to
the apparent height of ceiling. Hang
long, narrow mirror on a dark wall to
give both height to the room and to add
to the light.
If the room is one of those very high
ceilinged rooms that seem cold and pa
latial because of its very height. there
is much that you can do TO make II cozy.
To begin with, place several lamps about
the room on low tables or shelves. Let
them have broad. fiaring shades. Make
the curtains with deep valances across
the top and let them reach only TO the
stills or a little below. Use big-fow-
cred chintz, If the room is bedroom
or sitting room, for the curtains and
cushions.
II room is very small do not crowd
1t with furniture. tiny room looks
comfortably spacious if it is very SIM
ply furnished. Take reception room
for instance, of the diminutive size
found in many city apartments Spread
one large rug on the floor-this gives 8
