First American Wood Enoraver.

Alexander Anderson was the first
engraver on wood in America At the
age of twelve he made quite successful
attempts at engraving on copper and
type-metal, and in 1893, when EN-
ployed in copying drawings on wood,
after BeWicL, for an American edition
of the Looking Glass, he discarded the
type-metal upon which he had been
working and cut the rest OF the Illus
tratiOns upon lockwood, with tools of
his own invention. Anderson signed
his name to the first wood-cut pub
lished on this continent, and thus
gained for himself the title of the
American Bewick. The vast number
of books illustrated by him attest the
skill and industry of this pioneer Of
the art of wood-engraving, who con-
tinued in the daily practice Of his pro-
fession till few months before he
died.

COVERING YOUR TABLE

Some one said the other day that table cloths-table colths of linen damask-were entirely out of fashion and might be used only for the family dinner. The point is that among some of the clever society women, women who com bfne considerable artistic appreci- ation and the possession of money, the fad has been established to have painted tables for dinner. These tables are of lettuce green preferably, though gray, soft blue and mauve are colors that have also been selected. Usually these tables are oval in shape. They may have border about the edge of stenciled or painted design in contrasting color, and they are covered with arrangements of filet lace runners and individual doilies.
 Now this is an interesting fad and may have a wide influence. Many of us supposed that the only correct formal dinner table was the plain damask or the elab- crate lace and embroidery cover, although there was a time re- gently when the elaborate lace cover was not regarded in such good form as the plain damask

POTATO SALAD

New potatoes are considered far superior to old ones for salad by many. But old potatoes make de- licious salad, if they are carefully cooked, so that they do not boil to pieces and become too mealy. Here is one recipe for potato salad, made with old potatoes: Pare the potatoes and boil them in slightly salted water until they are tender, but do not boil them rapidly, and remove them from the fire before they begin to break and flake on the surface. Cool then and then cut them in even dice. Mix them with third their own quantity of finely minced eel cry and moisten them with French dressing, made from two parts of oil to one of good vinegar and seasoned with cayenne, salt and a little celery salt. Then put the salad in big spoonfuls on lettuce leaves and top each spoonful with a tablespoonful of mayonnaise dressing.

The Best Sauce
It's An Appetite, and Anyone Can
 Master That.

It's An Appetite, and Anyone Gan
 Master That.
 ITS an old, old adage that runs: II Hunger is the best sauce;;" . but 1t is just as true now as t ever was. One reason why tho food that we eat when we are away on vacations always seems so well cooked and so much more tempting than that which we have at home is because our aupetites have been stimulated by tho change of air. The chances are,. also, that we have spent more time outdoors, that we have e1er- cised our bodies and thus have made ourselves hungry.
 Try Starving
 In ordinary cases of loss of 'ap-' petite, a little sensible starving is not bad idea. When children lose their appetites, most mothers try to get something to tempt them. They feel seemingly that if the child goes without a meal or eats lightly for several meals, he is in danger of fading away entirely. But with children the abstinence cure for loss of appe- tite is even more feasible than with adults. For children may rest as much as they choose They may even spend a. day or so in bed, but most adults feel the necessity of keeping up unless they are actually i'll. A person in bed needs and should have much less to eat than one who is exercising actively. ''' >'i
 At first signs of loss of appetite in children-providing they are not extremely delicate and then a doctor should be consulted-a very good plan is to put them on a very simple diet. If you wish cut them down to milk and toast, with orange juice between meals. You will be surprised to see how soon child's appetite will como back to normal if his digestive system is relieved of the burden of more complicated food. Tho last thing you should do when 8 child loses his appetite is to tempt him with sweets or foods that you know are not best for him.
 Instead of 8 Tonic
 Try this treatment yourself. Many persons complain of loss of appetite at this time of the year. The old idea was to take some sort of spring tonic. Now, we realize that loss of appetite often simply means that we should rest our digestive systems little. In- stead of taking a tonic, cut your diet down to the simplest form. If you have a Sunday or holiday before you, rest and relax and do } little starving. After forty eight hours you will find that your appetite has been sharpened surprisingly.

Pauline's Ears

Here is story that is told o1 Pauline Bonaparte, 8 sister of the great Napoleon, and Mime. de Coutades, who was intensely jeal- ous of Pauline:
 At a ball at which the emperor's sister had decided to outshine every other woman, she appeared strikingly dressed, so that at- tracted all attention. Mine. de Coutades, wishing to embarrass her, walked close to her and said to her own escort:
 "She would be lovely if 1t weren't for that. What a pity!"
 For what?" returned her es- cort.
 For what?" went on Pauline's tormentor. Cant you see? Surely you must be blind"
 Pauline, much embarrassed, blushed and looked about. Then Mime. de Coutades said: Why, her ears! If I had those ears I should cut them off"
 Pauline gasped and fainted, and never again did any one see her ears, for she wore her hair low enough to cover them. And the worst that might be said of her ears was that they were flat and colorless in contrast to her rosy skin.
 Most women of today solve the problem of their ears in the same way that Pauline did. And so long as the present mode in hair dressing remains in vogue this will be satisfactory.

So the next best thing Is to rush to dealer in antiques and see what we can do for ourselves there in the way of acquiring something of this opaque and beautiful white stone. And that is just what many women are doing. As soon as Tut-Anckh- Amen's tomb was opened and the strange and beautiful alabaster vases therein were brought forth, smart women began to ransack the antique shops and issue forth followed by a bulky and heavy package containing some sort Of alabaster ornaments. Sometimes these are big vases, of Greek de- sign, and sometimes they are little things, like candlesticks or small figures, which are placed on the dinner table, with the candle sticks, to form a really lovely and glistening decoration. .
 There are many good alabaster reproductions of purely recent make, for when the fad for in- direct lighting came in it was found that alabaster was particu- larly we'll suited for the glowing bowls suspended from the ceiling or set in tripod to hide and soften and distribute electric light.

Speaking -:-
 Confidentiallv

TT Is always bad form to speak
 confidentially to chance or new = acquaintances. To add to your remarks, q wouldn't like this to go any farther" or This is of course quite sub rosa," or "I am not using any names, though you doubtless know to whom I refer" '" usually indicates that you are speaking of matters that 1t would be wiser not to mention, or that you are trying to produce the i'm pression of speaking confiden- tially, though as matter of fact what you are telling is matter of general knowledge.
 There is often temptation to speak confidentially, and to tell things that you would not like to have travel far. Every one, or most every one, likes to hold the attention of those to whom he is talking. He likes to attract real interest, and if he can just tell something that is in the nature of secret he is sure to gain gen. eral attention. He is led on by his own desire to be listened to, and sometimes he says more than he ought to say. So he adds the request that what he has said should not be repeated. But if he has been indiscreet, should he be amazed that the person to yuhnt,a h4 ta11 I,t At1 should be as indiscreet and should tell them to some one else?
 Salesmen realize the interest that can usually be gained by speaking confidentially. If by means of what they call confi- dential remark they can plant an idea in the minds of a possible buyer, that will incline him to buy they feel that they have been shrewd. "I don't suppose I ought to repeat this, as it was told me in confidence" says one salesman, but the fact is that next week the price on this article is going to be raised" A saleswoman sell ing women's frocks says: Tt was told me in strict confidence that Governor So-and-So's wife bought a frock of this very same model to wear at her reception next week. This is the only other model we have and these gowns were made exclusively for us. Il know I ought not to speak about -tz AL but I knew it would interest you if you were thinking of buying this"
 And very often possible buyers do buy just because they fall into the trap that catches them be- cause they relish a secret. Need less to say there usually isn't any thing confidential in the supposed |

When It's a Business Guest : There Are Certain Dos and Dont's to
 Live Up To
Live Up To

COME men seem to think that ID hospitality is something that
 exists only in the home and that their duties as hosts exist only when they have shut the door on their offices and reached their own fireside. But there is a very real hospitality in the office and other places of business, and many a man owes part of his business success to the fact that he is a splendid host in his own office.
 The woman who aims to make social success coaches her maid or butler carefully in the courte- ous way to receive guests at the front door. The business man should take as great pains to in- struct his telephone operator or office boy. in the courteous way to receive all who pass the threshold of his office. Aside from being the well-bred thing to do it is very wise policy.
 I once knew a very successful lawyer who employed as his tele- phone operator a quietly dressed little English woman who had once enjoyed high social position and had even been presented at court. He was willing to pay her as good a salary as he did his private secretary because she had certain social graces that made it possible for her to receive busi- ness callers as they should be re- ceived. They were already in a pleasant frame of mind by the time he received them in his office.

The alabaster treasures that you will find in the antique shops or in the modern gift shops will be, most of them, of Grecian de- sign. But don't let that bother you. The Greek alabaster vases are the ones we have been used to and naturally the ones we have copied. But the beautiful vases found in the Egyptian Pharaoh's treasure house are of a design that is suggester by the urn-1ike vase of Greece.

Selecting Vegetables
THERE is no reason, if you a,

THERE is no reason, if you arc paying the standard market
 price for things, why you
 should accept fruits and vese- tables that are wi1ted, stale or i'm perfect. Of course, there is no reason, either, why you should al- ways choose the soundest apples in the barrel, the biggest head of lettuce in the crate, the ripest tomatoes, the fattest asparagus. On the other hand, you should insist on fresh and eatable fruit and vegetables. If your dozen oranges have one among them that is spoiled, return 1t and de- mand a new one-or else stop trading with that dealer. IEyouf lettuce has a decayed heart. send it back. and get a good head or your money back Don't accept spoiled food and you will help to bring up the standard of all the dealerss For if they can't sell poor fruit and vegetables they will certainly not keep them on hand.
 There are of course many Iaws now to safeguard the buyer of food. But like all other laws. they must be enforced to be effec- tive. And it is always a difficult thing to get enough enforcers for the laws concerning such things. If you become law enforcer. you can see just how much you will be helping along the whole sub- ject of honesty and reliability on the part of the vegetable and fruit dealers.
 It is really an interesting thing to bring up any standards, be they those of your own children or those of the people you do business with.
 Don't forget, in being exactins when you buy, that there is such a thing as being unreasonable. You have no right to demand more than you pay for. Your duty lies in not being cheated.

were fastened through holes pune. tured in the lobe of the ear. The weight of even a small earring pulled down the flesh of the ear, increasing it's actual size. Fortu- nately women are no longer vic tins of this type of earring. We have come to look on it as quite barbaric - especially since we have become acquainted with the story of the South Sea Islander whose most precious pos session was an alarm clock that he inserted in the lobe of his ear, which had been systematically stretched since childhood, until it was large enough to accommodate this shining, tickling gift of civil lzation!

They are NO Longer the bane Ol
 the Boarding House, but the
 Pride of the Good Cook.
 nRUNES have lost a good deal
 of the bad repute that used = to cling to them as the main stay diet of second-rate boarding houses. Indeed, the other day a woman who lives in a boarding house created a good deal of amusement by saying that she would like boarding better if she could never have prunes. They are of course still a standby in many houses, but they are also to some extent luxury, because we better understand their possi- bilities.
 To begin with, the best way to prepare prunes is to wash them thoroughly but quickly in hot water, then to cover them with cold water and let them stand twelve hours. Then they should be simmered gently in cold water in which they have soaked until they are tender. And that is all. Don't boil them vigorously, don't use too much water, and don't soak them in water which you throw away. It is not usually necessary to add any sugar to prunes if they are simply to be eaten stewed. A little may be added when they are taken from the stove if your family has a sweet tooth, but it is better not to do so.
 It is an interesting thing that up to the year 1890 no prunes were grown in this country. The best came from France and we also imported some from Ger many. Then we began to get them from California. In 1870 a Frenchman named Peller had planted one tree in California and it had thrived and shown that the fruit would succeed there.
 The California prunes are al- lowed to fall from the trees. They are dried in the sun and sterilized. No sugar is added. It takes from two and half to three pounds of the fresh fruit to make one pound of the dried.
 There are authorities who say prunes should not be soaked. They should be rinsed in hot water, then in cold, then simmered until tender.
 Prune Mousse
 One cup of prunes cooked and sifted or washed, one teaspoon each lemon juice and grated rind; two cups of thick cream, one-third cup powdered sugar.
 Whip cream until until firm, add | sugar and flavorings, then fold in the prune. Pour and salt (three parts ice, one part rock salt. Let | stand three or four hours. Un- i mold to serve.
 Compete of Prunes
 Soak a pound of prunes, drain, and cook with cup each of sugar, red wine, and water, adding an inch of stick cinnamon. Simmer slowly for two hours, remove the cinnamon, and serve cold.

Making Them Flat

The size of the ears is some thing over which it is impossible to exercise control. However, ears may be made to lie fiat if at- tention is given to them in in- fancy. An infants ear is soft and pliable and outstanding ears those big, Tapping ones that some men have-undoubtedly often re- suit from carelessness on the part of nurses and mothers. The tiny baby should always be laid down with it's small, soft ears fiat against the head, not doubled over. And there are little net and tape contraptions, like caps. that doc tors say are quite harmless, for babies to wear to keep their little ears in place. Think of the benefit to be reaped in mature life from the care of a mother in infancy just of the small ear!
 Women can almost always over come the ugliness of large or out standing ears by the careful ad- justment of hair. And hats, too, do much to cover up unlovely ears.
 A generation or more ago women more often had ugly ears as they grew older than they do today. This was because of the fashion for wearing earrings that
