In fact, It has become so usual a thing In many homes that one may hear the mistress of a household say to her butler: ".James, you must see that Panky's steak Is better cooked. And don't forget to tell the cook not to serve any chicken for him this week. His indigestion Just now is fnmething awful!"— New York Press. Helen Couldn't Sajr No. iSome women are so queer. An East End woman received a morning rail recently from an old and dear friend. "Helen," said the friend, "I want to ask a favor of you, and I don't know just how to do It." She paused and giggled slightly. "Go on," said ttie other woman. "Well, it's this way, Helen. You remember that lovely table ornament we saw the other day at Chrystal's, the o tie you said you'd like? Well, George and I have bought It for you for Christmas. Now, I'm going to have a little dinner Saturday night— George's brother Jim will be in town —and I want you and Henry to come." "Well?" said the other woman. "Yes. Well, you see, Helen, I've Just set my heart on using that table ornament Saturday night. And of course I wouldn't use It without your consent—and would you really care, '" dear, tf I flled 11—-for, of course, it's really yours, and it couldn't hurt It any, I'm sure, and, and, anyway, you'd be there to see it you wouldn't object, would you?" So Helen said she wouldn't object and the other woman went away in a cheerful Trame of mind.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Selling a Queen's Gowns. Whether or not the Queen of Italy approves of the sale nf her discarded gowns to royalty loving Americans appears to be a moot question. Ac cording to one report, these garments are the perquisites of her majesty's head maid, who disposes of them, with the Queen's knowledge, at semi annual sales, from which she realizes about SSOOO. Other reports have it that Margherita is much nnnoyed by this scattering abroad of her cast-oft raiment and has dismissed two maids who were reaping a considerable rev enue from this source. Queen's first knowledge of what was going on was obtained, it is said, six years ago, when, on a shopping tour, she aaw a woman enter the shop wearing a gown that looked familiar to her. She scrutinized it carefully and found a tiny spot on the hem of the skirt. The last vestige of doubt vanished from hfer ruind. The dress was one she had discarded a few days before on account of that very spot. An in vestigation at the palace followed, with the result that a trusted maid was dismissed. A new maid. Adele, succeeded to the vacant place, and all went well, so far as tho Queen knew, until one day driving in the Via Trltoni, her carriage was. Imped :«rby the traffic, stopped near one in which was seated. nn American wo man wearing a hat whch only a few days previous had adorned Margher- own head. Another fnvestiga tion fallowed, and Adele lost her place. The inquiry showed that Adele was reaping a yearly profit of 95000 by selling apparel which her royal mistress had discarded. Her preference, as to customers, was for Americans, and oae condition she im posed on the purchasers was that AOtbipf they bought shotfd be worn all, it's criticism, made under the cloak of banter or as a means to start a round of laughter, which stings. I often wish I was back in my Western home. We might not have been what you call 'smart' there, but at least we were sincere and ap preciative." Every hostess in New York society knowß how this young woman feels. It is the experience of all women who take trouble to please their guests. Our society has been satiated with good things, and indif ference is the natural result.—New York Press. Black and white are as popular In hats as at the first of the season. An enormous ball of rhlnestones la the most popular hatpin ornament. Black hats must be intensely black, and white as purely white as possible. Touches of copper are coming in to rival the much used gold and sil ver. Grey net and chiffon tulle are in the height of fashion for tunic ef fects. Heels, hnving risen almost to an absurd height, are now coming down again. Bronze is a now shade and lookß something like a copper touched with pale gold. Flame color is much to tho front for gowns and trimmings of all de scriptions. Fewer gauzy materials and more substantial weaves will probably bo wanted than last season. In spite of the increasing popularity of the stock, the white turnover col lar is still in good style. Stylish gowns reproduce largely the colorings and designs of precious old Indian and cashmere snawls. Collars must now meet in front in a straight up and down line; flaring corners are no longer permitted. Pearled chiffons that looks as If drops of dew had spattered them are the newest designs for evening gowns. Among the novel Paris hosiery there are black pure thread silk stockings with Instep worked in col ors. There is a fringe effect upon the newest purses of leather and suede, and it is a fad to have them of the shade of the gown. A new style of petticoat that has appeared is no larger at the hem than it is at the hops except for V's of narrow pleating that are let in to make walking possible. Fillets come in different lengths, some to circle the head almost com pletely, others to circle it half way and others to simply cross the crown of the head.—New York Sun. It was at first thought thc.t the re turn of the long sleeve meant the doom of tho bracelet, but this favor ite of fashion has very happily adapt ed itself to changed conditions. Ruchings figure as one of the most becoming fads of the season. They are pleated very full and fall over the tops of the high collars, suggest ing a picture from the Elizabethan era. Blouses of colored net to wear with tailored suits are made over a plain lining, tucked all over, and fin ished oft with collar and cuffs of pompadour silk In the same shade as the net.

In papering any room it should be remembered that light is the flrßt | sonsiderdtion and that the paper must be chosen accordingly. Pure white is the best choice when ' a specially light room is wanted, as 1 It absorbs only about fifteen per cent. ' of the light thrown upon It. Dark 1 green, on the other hand, is the greatest consumer of light, absorb ing about eighty-five per cent. . . , Next to white as a light-producer are the soft pastel tints and light blues, which absorb from twenty to twenty-five per cent, of the light; then comes orange at thirty per cent.; apple and gray greens, almost fifty per cent., and the popular brown is almost as bad as dark green, as It takes up about sixty to seventy per cent, of the light it should throw out —New York World. Enlarging the Dinner Table. Necessity has ever been the mother of invention. Housekeepers have long wanted some other means of enlarg ing the seating capacity of their dining tables other than by the mere exten sion, especially In the case of round tables. Nothing here need be said of the Joy of a round table, nor of its satisfaction In many ways, except when occasion demands its extension and .the cordial round table becomes the oval."strung out" table, with Quests feeling thttt they're not quite hearing all that' Is being said, miss ing delightful banter and wit. Now comes the manufacturer to the rescue and puts on the market a round ex tension table, that Is all that tire name Implies—round when small, round when large or extended. This table Is made In sises from forty-eight Inches to sixty Inches, and when ex tended is fifteen Inches greater In diameter. The extension Is made by adding four segments of wood to the outer edge of the original table. These segments can not' be added to any table but the one especially designed for them. This table is made In several designs and In oak, mission and mahogany. When not In use the segments are fitted in a crate and stored away. But the manufacturer has not stopped with this Invention. He is offering another device for enlarging a table, called a banquet table top, which may be fastened to any kind of table, oblong, round or square in shape. This top consists of eight segments which come In a crate fitted with casters and may be stored away 'eaftlly when not In use. The tops make prartteally the same sized tables as the kind described above, and are made in even more varieties of wood —plain wood if a tablecloth is to be used on it, fine or fancy wood it dollies or lace mats are to be used. The prices for these tops and for th« round extension tables are reasonable —New Haven Register.
