Skating. like all other outdoor sports. happily finds its number of ieyotees increasing from year to year. The interest in the pastime for those who skate and to those who are sim ply onlookers increases in proportion to the variety and fitness which is evi- ienced in skating costumes.

PASTOR LAUGHS AT FUNERAL
So Do the Pallbearers, but Not Mourn CTS, for There Weren't Any
 at the Ceremony.

There was a funeral at the Mesa Congregational church. Sixth avenue and Fifty-fourth street, at which every body. even to the officiating clergyman, laughed and sang and had an exceed ingly good time. None of the mourn CTS was scandalized, because there were no mourners. Instead, there was a banquet and speeches of felieita- tion by fivs visiting ministers. In the middle of 1t two deacons and two la dies of the church, acting as pallbear- CTS, entered with the bier. which was set squarely in the middle of the ban quet table There the torch was ap- piled, and while the corpse burned and cracked, everybody present stood and sang Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
 The corpse" was the church mort gage of $1,500. To give it a regular funeral was the happy idea of the pas tor. Rev. Nathan L. Dowell. D. D., who personally raised $450 in two days to lift the debt.-Los Angeles Times.

It Is the privilege of women to wear Ill sorts of pretty accessories of dress, and there are all sorts of airy and all turing fabrics that inspire them to make these luxuries of apparel. Laces and ribbons, nets and metallic gauges, and other transparent materials are translated into neckwear, head wear, and other finery that bespeaks the dainty woman. Interest in these things is more keen than ever when the holidays get near. Anything that promises an easily made and pretty gift is welcome.
 The breakfast, or boudoir cap, has more than prettiness to recommend it. It is a cheerful and most becoming bit of fnery that any woman may own. md is always an acceptable gift. like l pretty pair of slippers Besides the 5oudoir cap thero are those for tray cling and those that are worn at night. and the most essential cap of all-the dusting cap. This last one IS made of washable cotton finished with a ruttle Of the material Travel. Ing caps are made of washable silk or of dark colors not easily soiled. They are usually gathered over elas- tie cord or fulled on ribbon run through a casing about the edge of the crown. The ends are drawn through slash in the casing and tied in bow. This allows the cap to be hattened out when it is pressed.
 The picture shows a group of three breakfast or boudoir caps. Two of .hem are of lace and one of net and lace combined wide net top lace forms the body of the first cap.

TABLE DECORATIONS
By BEEN E. RExFoRD.

fancy some readers saying we can not all have flowers for the table. Greenhouses are not to be found in every little village Even if they were, many of us could not afford to purchase from them except on very extra occasions.
 True, but why not grow your own plants? Then you will be indeed in dependent of the florist to a consider. able extent.
 Most women have plants in the win dows. but the majority are not adapt. ed to table use.
 The table plant for this purpose all things considered, is the asparagus plumosus. It has foliage much daintier than that of any fern.
 It can easily be made to grow in the bushy compact form which plant de signed for use on the table should have.
 This is done by pinehing of the ends of the young fronds when they have made a growth of 12 or Is inches This causes the lower side branches to spread out broadly and breadth is secured where there would be little if the plant were allowed to train itself
 Such plant is very attractive in it. self with its filmy green foliage. com. parable only to lace. or mist. in it's delicacy.
 But whenever additional brightness is desired a few long-stemmed flowers thrust in among it's fronds will furnish it in most delightful manner. Roses. carnations, narcissus. astilbe. stevia all these and many more can be used with it with most charming effect.
 Have three or four plants of it and you will have but little use for the florist. They will be quite as attrac. tive in the window as any other plants that can be grown there, therefore they will serve a double purpose.
 Give this asparagus a soil of garden loam made light with sand. Water moderately. Sunshine is not neces sary to it's successful culture.
 Shower several times a week an6 keep red spiders from injuring it. Be sure to nip off the end of each shoot as advised above, to make the plan spread out we'll
 Many plants can be secured of tn, florists and these can be divided nex season. One good sized plant can b. made to serve as half a dozen smal plants in the spring. each one of whicl will become quite large enough for tn, table use by fall

cred as more important than quantity
 A combination of ferns of different variety with plants having pretty foliage in color is beautiful. In this case peperomia and tradescantia are used to supply the desired effect.
 Fern pans filled with small plants of varieties best calculated to give sue. cessful results in the living room, can be bought of nearly all the florists. One should not depend upon a single specimen. Have two. three or more to admit of frequent change.
 Few plants can be kept on the table day after day without becoming un- healthy. Have several and allow none of them to do decorative duty for longer than a day or two at time.
 At holiday time there will be at tractiye plants on the market and some of these are admirably adapted to table use.
 There is the Jerusalem cherry. a miniature bearing scarlet fruit, and the ardisia. a plant with rich. dark foliage against which its dark. red Der ries show to most pleasing effect.
 Small plants of araucaria are not pretty but are so peculiar in habit that they always attract attention and challenge admiration.
 A plant Of poinsettia with it's scarlet towering will make the table radiant with ifs wealth of color
 Pots of Roman hyacinth are charm ing adjuncts of the breakfast table. as are lilies of the valley or narcissus These will last for a long time if they are removed to the window as soon as the meal is over.
 There are several kinds of begenis that show to excellent advantage or the table by lamplight. One is glory de lorraine.
 It's flowers. of which there will be st many that the plant is literally GOV cred, provided it is we'll grown, ar, of that peculiar shade of pink whicl comes out we'll by artificial light.
 Small specimens of the Whitman fern are very satisfactory when use' in iardinieres whose colors contras and harmonize with their rich greer One of cream or pure white will b found very effective.
 1 No jardiniere of strong color O 1 prominent ornamentation should b used with these plants. because it i the plant you want others to admire not the vessel containing it.

Head wraps. with huff to match. made of velvet and trimmed with fur, are among the most fetching of novel; ties They are soft turbans. with their velvet drapery extended into scarf or muller. The scarf portion is lined with silk and usually tapers to point which terminates in tassel or a ball of fur or some other ornament that will serve to weight it little The huff to match is small and usually barrel shaped.
 Besides those of brilliant colors, all white caps and muffiers and magpie sets. like those shown above, look well on the ice. They are good examples of current styles. and their usefulness does not begin and end with the skat- ing field It covers all the outdoor recreations of the wintertime. They are of knitted yarns. and similar ones are made in an endless variety of color and color combinations.

A Bit of Red.

It peeps out of the pockets of a Scotch plaid frock and lines the cuffs and collar as well. It emphasizes in braid the very military closing of blue serge frock and matches the shiny belt of red leather and the wrist straps of the same red flannel vest and much-wrinkled collar are to be seen in a very stunning blue gaber- dine suit A turban of shirred red vel vet lights up an otherwise somber costume Altogether, for the woman who can stand it. the bit of red is in dispensable for the dull colorings which fashion is forcing upon woman kind this season.
