GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY
TABLE DECORATIONS

| The menu Of st. Patrick's Day lunch-
con or dinner does not seem to puzzle the
average woman MS much as the table
| decorations For it is through these,
| rather thnn through the dishes served,
that the spirit of the occasion is expressed.
To be sure, small cakes and tarts may
| bc served in the form OF sbamrocks, and
| green may be conspicuous IN Jcllies and
ices; but appropriate table decorations
represent the chief means OF conveying n
| clever effect.
In this day of exorbitant prices, arti-
| fetal flowers are becoming more and more
popular for usc as table decorations, and
the sensible hostess will not hesitate TO
place vase of these in the centre Of her
table-a vase of greeri-tintcd carnations
A ring Of shamrocks may border the base
of this vase; and from beneath the dolly
upon which the vase stands, ErIn-green
streamers of either satin ribbon or narrow
strips Of crepe paper may stretch to each
guests plate.
The woman who is clever with pencil
and scissors can make her own place
cards. These should be in the shape Of
harps. At this season OF the year the shops
are full Of St Patricks Day cards OF all
sorts, and all that is necessary to obtain
harp-shapcd pattern is to buy card with
the picture of harp ON it and trace n
pattern on thin paper; then cut out this
tissue paper harp, lay it on bristol board
and cut around it, paint the bristol
board harp solidly with gilt paint and
write the name of "A guest across IL in ink.
Individual bonbon dishes may stand at
the top Of each plate and in each of these
may be stuck jaunty little Irish flag.
Green bonbons will mingle conspicuously
with white and maple sugar in this dish.
But the prettiest effect will be obtained
If the new surprise favor custom - OBJ
served This original deviation from the
old custom of having the favors upon the
table (at the right of each cover consists
in hiding the favoIs in the alabaster bowl
which hangs above the average dining
room table Tor in mass Of greencry
upon chandelier above the table,,
having ribbon strearners hanging over the
edge of the bowl (or from the greenery OF
the chandelier), the other ends OF which
are attached TO the hidden favors. CThese
hanging ends should be only just long
enough to grasp when the guest ~ stand
ing at his place. At the end Of the lunch
con or dinner the hostess, standing, reach
es up grasps the ribbon before her plate,
requesting each guest TO do likewise, and
gives the signal to "Pulli" Some pretty,
but necessarily lightweight favor will
come floating down, TO be caught 10y the
persons below.
A dainty and suitable favor TO treat IN
this way for a 81. Patrick's Day affair
would be sheer handkerchief tassuming
that the guests are ladies only with "A
very narrow grecn-linen border or with
tiny green shamrock embroidered IN one
corner.

ONE ROOM AT A TIME.

II you own your house, there are prob
ably repairs and renovatioLs that really
need 10 be made II you rent il. doubtless
there is refurnishing that you wish 10 do.
And because everything costs 40 much,
you hesitate 60 do anything
Some persons are 80 situated that they
can make repairs Oh house they own
pay for themselves. Inst autumn young
woman who had been married about FIVE
years longed for winter in the nearby
city. She loves her suburban home. but
che wanted change. Moreover, her
house, To which she had gone m a bride,
had lost some OF it's freshness and needed
repapering and repainting. So she rented
the house for the winter at a very good
price, because houses IN the town where
she lived were 90 scarce. She and her hus-
band and small child went 20 live in the
city, far at the Outskirts, In a little apart
mcnt. To Nil Of them, the change was ia
the nature Of a picnic. They liked the
tiny apartment because IL was so novel.
They saved money enough on the shifting
TO pay for the papering and painting.
Another house owner wished 10 aGd an ex-
tension 10 his house. lie lived IN n suburb
where the smart city people floc1ed in the
summer. So he rented his house for the
Fhbbti't Eft6tt Nv u fihE' ififis bpJh ~
country farm house not far away for his
own family-and netted the money need
ed 20 build the extension 10 the house.
Others are not so fortunate. Yet they
can make small repairs and ought 90 do SO
rather than to Jet their house run down.
Go at 1t one room at a time, This is more
trouble, for IL is convenient, when the
paper hangers come, to have them do a
whole floor But il you have one room put
IN order at time, you can pay az you go
and not find the bills too heavy This
spring, for instance, you might have the
kitchen and pantry rcpainted, and IN the
autumn perhaps have the living and din
ingroom repapcred. They won't matter
this summer, for who looks at wall paper
when there is the outdoors 10 look at?
Then year from now YOU can have one or
two of the bedrooms done. In this way
your house will not get run down, and you
will never have the staggering bill that
comes from having whole house re-
paired at once
The same plan may be followed IL you
rent house. You can buy new bit Of
furniture for room At a time. and in the
course of a few years YOU will have bought
several worthwhile pieces. At the same
time, you will be keeping your household
goods from deteriorating, as they do II YOU
never replenish them.

THE WILD ANIMALS AND PUSSY.


One night when the magic hour came
around in the playroom all the little wild
animals that lived in the ark, over in one
corner jumped out on the floor.
The little wooden men who guarded
them had been taken downstairs in the
daytime with all the dolls TO play house
where it was nice and warm and so when
the little animals found they were without
a keeper out they jumped.
Now, TO find our jungle, roared the
lion. Come along, all of you wild crea-
lures. Why should we live in that tucked
up ark and mind those men when we own
forest in Africa?'
Teddy Bear did not move at first, but
when they all came to where he sat the
lion said, "You are almost tame, Mr., Bear,
living here so long Have you no pride OF
race? Do you not know tina. all your
family are wild and own a place in a forest
called den2 Come join us and run away
Then all at once Teddy Bear began to
feel cross and growled so loudly he scared
himself and along with the other animals

BEST SAILORS
won RACE, SAYS
ship BUILDER
Designer of Shamrock De-
c,ares Resolute's Crew
Was Best.

Southampton, Eng, Aug. 81
fMaily-When Mr.. Nicholson, the de-
signe Of Shamrock ", arrived in
England, he placed the superior sea-
rnanship of the Resolute's captain and
crew among the reasons for the chal-
lenger's failure to lift the Americas
cup.
Members of the S~hamrock's crew
who have returned to England, re-
sent the slur which they consider
Mr.. Nicholson has thrown upon their
efficiency as yachts1nen and declare
that the Shamrock's faulty handling
was largely due to the interference
OF MIR. Nicholson.
Arthur Diaper, one OF the crew,
said il an interview with the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent it was a
cas of too many cooks n he point
Cd to the fact that or the only 0cca-
sion Captain Burton Was free from
i-Ssrruption n advice the Shamrock
Won. Diaper said all of the crew felt
convinced that had a professional
skipper been in full command Sham
rock would have won the first three
races. He claimed that she could
point rs close into the wind as the
Resolute but the latter was superior
in reaching.
He declared that Shamrock was
very awkward to handle, and her
canvas was about three times as
heavy as that of the Resolute. The
halliards were arranged in such a
that h york of the men
was made extremely difficult. What
could be done by ten men on the 90
meter Shamrock required 80 to do on
Shamrock ~. On one occasion in
setting the main sail they had Sc mel
on the halliards and could not move
the sail.
TN fact" said Diaper, II have
never before seen UGH heavy canvas
on a racing yacht" n then, on the
return of the yacht to City Island,
after the races, they found a COM
plete set Of light racing canvas for
Shamrock w., stored in Jacobs
yard.
Another fault continued Mr.. Dia.
per, lis the constant changing Of gear
which was in progress throughout the
period of the races. The topmast was
changed no less than seven times in
the course of three weeks and eventu.
