Lady Francis Cook, who was Tennie C. CIr.s:n. lias not lost Ler love for her ow-j country t'.iroupii the Influence of luus rosiJi-cv cbrond. In EuslauJ. where she Las establish rd a reputation as a Lady iJoumiful iLrccgU the medium of bcr husband's irn-iit vrealih, she never loses an op tKirtucity to doc-la re that she is as good na American today as tb ever was. Moreover. Lady Cook expects In fu ture to divide her t:cie between here end EujrkJEd. Later, in event of the demise of Sir Francis, who is now 82 and has nt"-cr been in America, Lady Frsncis '-r.eiids to return here and re main for the rest of her life. Lady Cook iDtends to look arouud New York with a view to choosing a site for a building similar to one that, at her suggestion, her husband erected In London. This Institution, known as iJesan dra Uouse, v.hich Is uuder the imme diate ra-ctJ3ge of Princess of LADY COOE. Tales, was luiit cs a home to which English girls fioin the provinces with aspirations for an education in the higiicr arts e;uld come and be sure of a reCned environment and congenial society fo.- a moderate outlay. Ixi this model institution, which was erected at a cost of $l.2.Vi.fKtO. there are quarters of elegance for loO young women. Each Inmate has a little suit of parlor, bedroom and bath to herself, and there are magnificent reception rooms on the lower floor where the you"g women can receive their guests. There are also 20 music rooms scat tered thror.gl) th house with pianos end rs n:.T!iy studies for the aspiring artists to work in. The fortunate yovng roffii'ii also have the entree to nil t'ae ni'-'.ns. libraries and musical ateliers t f Loudon. For all these privileges they ay ?0 a week cell, with washing and med ical attention thrown In. Hut these palatial surroundings and unsurpassed advantages are not for dreamers or those whose talents are not of a pronounced character. Young woinn from families who can afTord to pay more than the charges made at fir Francis" institution are also care fully excluded. The applications are carefully sifted, and each student accepted r.iay le sure that her record has In-en carefully gone over before that result was attained.

' r Jl it Bite at Ifrlllilt The tea table, that stiff, feet affair that was once found in every bouse bearing a formidable array of cups and saucers that seldom contained any of the beverage for which they were designed, acd a greasy teapot, from which ao steam ever curled, has been rclczatiM to obscurity. It was seldom t i an aitrictive feature, even though its china was fine and of eggshell thin ness. It was too obviously meant for ornament, and ornament alooa, When a tea table appears at all now. It Is primarily for use, and the one la greatest favor Is very low and cozy. Often as not a little sturdy brown tea pot Is used in which to brew the orange Peking, If tea is the beverage preferred, which it many times is not, for the average masculine American is overfond of Lis coffee, and he is just as reenter a visitor at the tea ta ble as are his feminine friends.

Featnre of Dlnaer Gowns. There is ipuite a question as to the difference between a dinuer and a ball gown these days, and it Is rather diffi cult to tell at first glance, for many of the dinner gowns are quite elaborate enough to wear at dances; but. on the other hand, a dinner gown can le much plainer in design, says Harper's Ba zar. For Instance, long sleeves In a ball gown are not considered good style, while most of the dinner gowns have long sleeves. Indeed these long sleeves are rather a feature of the very smart new gowns. A gown of pale yellow panne velvet, cut very low in the ueck and quite off the shoulders, has a very odd pair of sleeves of the velvet that start below the straps of lace over the shoulder. These sleeves are tmlined. are very long and have rather the effect of tiiousquetaire gloves the same shade as the gown, for they are loose enough to wrinkle on the arms, although they are ftted as tight as though they were gloves. This particular pair of sleeves enn be taken out if so desired, and the gown Is then quite smart enough for a ball gown, ns the materials are of the very handsomest. The lace sleeves are so exceedingly becoming that women wear them as much as possible, and they are seen on the handsomest gowns. They. like the velvet ones, are unlined. very lor.g and fit closely to the arm. Then in some few of the gowns that nre made of velvet and satin the sleeves are of s;itin. nlso made to look lik mousqv.etaire gloves, but they never are put Into the armholes at the top. There is r.lways a space left In which the arm shows through, thus heighten ing the impression of long gloves rath er than sleeves. The Silver TVeddlnc. 1 have been asked several questions In relation to the celebration of a silver wedding and am glad of the occasion to give you the last hints In this mat ter. The most general colebratiou is au afternoon reception, which may or may not be followed by a dinner party. Sometimes the celebration begins with a dinner party or consists only of that. The number of guests is a matter of choice. Invitations to any of these gatherings ought to le issued three? weeks ahead on cards printed in silver in the name of husband and wife. If for a dinner, the invitation should say so. for a dance the hour of the celebration should be stated and the word "danc ing" placed at the left hand lower cor ner of the card. Every Invited guest is expected to send a g'ft suited to the occasion, but not necessarily costly, whether the invitation Is accepted or lot. The gifts and cards of donors ore usually exhibited during the cele bration ttud are the menus oftentimes of leading one into extra vagauce. We are such slaves to appearances. Ilusbaud and wife receive together et both dance end Invitation. When it if. rxissihle to have the attendance of lcsi man and bridesmaids of the mar riage ceremony, there Is added luster given to the occasion. They assist In receiving. At a dinner party on such en occasion the host takes his wife In to dinner and places hr at his right Land, as he did at the wedding break fast 15 years before. Th ;y usually pre cede the guests. The ta')le decorations should be white and eib'er. and. when th hostess can afford it. a white and silver gown is pretty and appropriate. It really costs no mote to do these things appropriately. Giod taste counts quite as much as money. Philadelphia Times. The Poet Qa rm. When It comes to un;que fancies In household decorations. Llizabctl). queeu of Iloumania. fxx-t and sentimentalist, must lie awarded the palm. She was very much averse to electricity for Il luminating puqioses until quite recent ly, and her boudoir was lighted by rystal flowers.

And this is why the queen, wfc loves bi-auty and harmony, strictly forbid the wearing of black or dark dresses at her tabic. She prefers a uuif.irui to conventional evening dnss and does not shrink from fancy dress if it Im' gay and pretty.

She had occasion to stoop down In front of au oen grate fire, and as she did so a celluloid comb worn In her hair exploded with sufiicient force to throw her to the floor some distance away. Following the explosion, the comb Ignited. Most of Mrs. Brown's hair was burn ed off. her eyebrows and lashes were scorched, and she was severely burned alnuit the face and nock. Considerable effort was required to prevent the car pots and other furnishings from catch ing fire, us it was found impossible to extinguish the l:I::::iug comb after it nad been pr.!!cj from her hair.

It is more difficult to be polite In tba city of Hamburg than in any other place lu Europe. There the most chiv alrous man has to think twice before giving up his seat In a car to a lady, aa he may be turned off the car for po liteness. It seems that the Hamburg trolley cars will seat, according to size. 20 or '2S persons. 10 to 14 on each side. In addition four persona are allowed in the front and five persons on the hack platform. When the car Is full, the conductor hangs out a slgu. "Be setzt." which tiwans "occupied." and Is sbsolntely forbidden to take on another passenger until some one gets off the car. Sometimes, while the conductor Is In front colUitlng fare, a lady will step on the car which Is already "occupied." As there is no conductor on hand to prevent her. the lady steps Inside, and the gentleman who n.sy offer her s seat comes out and taker his stand on the platform. When the conductor aft er going bis rounds returns to Ills post, he promptly requests the gentleman to step off the car. as he has forfeited his seat and the car Is fully '"occupied." Should he refuse to leave the car be la put off. The policemen on the streets are Instructed to watch the cars sharp ly, and If they find a car carries even one more passenger than its proper roin piemen t the conductor Is fined 72 rents, which Is pnld to a charity fund ef the street railway company. Phila delphia Press. Salt aad Home Radish. Some people care for nothing but len.on ou raw oysters, but there nre others who desire horse radish. Usual ly sucb folk regard the strongest horse radish as the best, but an experienced vender of the condiment poohpoohs this Klut of view. "Why should the strong horse radish be considered good?"- says he. "It brings tears to your eyes and lifts the top of your bead off and make you want to sneeze. It has no taste what ever. The mild horse radish, that which has stood awhile. Is the best and pleas antest always. "There Is nothing so foolish as to think that the strong, biting kind Is the fresh that Is the reason why it Is preferred to the mild sort for the very stalest, weakest horse radish can le made in 20 minutes strong enough to blow your head off. All you need to do Is to add salt to It. Try this some time. Just take any old horse radish, dump In a spoonful of salt and then notice the difference. I don't know why salt should have such a powerful effect on the stuff, but no doubt a chemist could tell you that." Philadel phia Record. Taraed It to Aeeoant.

They attached the mastiff, dragging him to the East river. where the Newfoundland pulled him under water and kept him there as long as he (the Newfoundland) could do without breath. When they came to the top. the cur Jumped on the mas tiffs back and kept him from getting out of the water till the Newfoundland was able to take blm under agaiu.
