Van at Conundrum 8npprs.
A clever woman baa invented the
conundrum supper for raising money
for charitable ends. "It is great fun for
tbe guests," she Rayi, "and highly re
munerative to tbe philanthropists."
Tbe plan is to serve a supper a la
carte, presenting tbe bewildered guest
with a menu card written in enigma.
From tbis bo must order at random
eating, of course, what it received un
less he is clever enough to gness some
bidden viand.
Here is a specimen menu: "Pearl
gatherers. Spring's offering. Confused
and mixed. Women of grit. Herald of
tbe dawn. New England specialty.
Wood from a celebrated watering place.
Boston's overthrow. Hidden tears.
Klondike nuggets. One who embarked
from tbe ark. Fragrant beans from
Arabia. Earth apple salad. Cane fruits."
Of conrse tbe guests order blindly
from tbe card. All muunorof laughable
mistakes and surprises are sure to fol
low, . for if a man choose "fragrant
beans from Arabia" ho will be sure of
a good cup of coffee at least, but if be
ordor "spring's offering" a glass of oold
water only will be bis luck. "Herald
of the dawn" stands for a bird.
Choose "confused and mixed," yon
will receive a generous dish of pickles.
"Women of grit" will bring forth a
oouple of delicious sandwiches. "Wood
from celebrated watering place,"
when simmered down, amounts to "Sar
atoga chips. " "Pearl gatherers" stand
for oysters on ioe, "Boston's overthrow"
means a cup of tea. "Cane fruits" are
sugar plums. "Klondike nuggets" will
bring different varieties of ices. "One
who embarked from the ark" will fur
nish (oold boiled) bam. And these are
bat a few of the puzzles that ten min
utes' thongbt will suggost.
Each dish is paid for at its regula
tions restaurant value, so that tbe end
of tbe affair means a goodish little sum
in tbe hands of the philanthropists, and
yet each guest bas received his money's
worth. Chicago Times-Herald.
Tbe Artful Madura Girl. -
"The artfulness of tbe modorn girl,"
remarked a woman who was a girl years
ago herself to mo, "passeth understand
ing. I have, for example-, a young kins
woman of 18, whose mother, knowing
that my husband was out of town, in
vited me to hor bouse to tea one duy
lust week. Tho girl was so sweet to mo
that in the eJ, though I hadn't the
slightest idea of doing it when I Bet
out, I asked br to come home with me
and stay the night, kho assented not
too eagerly and as we walkod toward
the car together she lives ou Capitol
bill she began to talk of young Mr.
. Bo-aud-so, Commander So-aud-io's son,
who was so anxious to meet me. No
woman is too old to be proof against
flattery, wa I expressed an interest in
Mr. So-and-so and told her she might
bring bim to see me some day. .
" 'It would be nice if lie could oome
n in mi eteiiniK, tin inn t it sno sum
thntmlifullr. I agreed tbnt It would.
' 1 Yon might have sent him a note If
tm hail known,' I said, for at iny age
it Isn't too often that young men want
to limhn my iieiiuiiliitaneo.
" 'I ti ll you what,' alio said, quite as
If the Idea had just occurred to ber,
'I'll telephone to him nnd see if he bas
any other eniMHenient. '
"We went Into the nearest drug store,
nnd idly I followed her to the telephone
box, tlionidi she called my attention to
something at tho other end of tho store.
Central gave her tho much desired u ura
her tho ynnng man's brother is a phy
sician. "Mr this Mr. Ho-nnd-so?' she asked.
"Pa use.
'"If nil right about tonight,' she
said. M?0(iclli?.'
"That's all she said. And then and
not till then I realized how that inno
cent young thing had played It on me.
As I mid tiefnro, the artfulness of the
modern girl paseth understanding."

The latest novelty III love tokens is
tho "beloved eye." Of conrse this is
only an Imitation of the human eye,
but the minlatnre portraits are painted
so exquisitely on ivory that the eye of
the beloved one seems to be shown In
reality.
The painting of the eye is a most del
icate and laborious task. Ouly a master
baud can produce the exact color and
expression. This makes the fad a very
costly one, therefore its popularity Is
confined to the wealthy set.
Many sittings have to be given to the
minlatnre painter before his skillful
Rtrnkes can convey tuo eyes to the Ivory,
so tbe work becomes a test of affection
on tho part of the man. He Is compel led
not ouly to draw heavily ou bis purse,
but npoii his time.
After the painting is completed it is
encircled with a setting of precious
stones, ns costly as the purse can buy.
Pearls aud diamonds form the favorite
Retting, the connecting links of gold be
ing invisible.
Tho miniature is then ready to be
suspended from a rope of pearls or a
delicate chain of precious stones. The
miniature must swing low upon tbe
corsnge, so that it may be neor tho
hpart. For tbis reason the bauble Is not
fastened on the end of the chain, but
bangs midway aud has a fringe of jew
eled links falling below it.
The token of the "beloved eye" Is
undoubtedly fraught with a bit of
quaint sentiment, though a prominent
society woman gives the reverse side.
With a touch of humor she announces
"that any man who presents a minia
ture of bis own eye to bis sweetheart
tacitly admits tbnt he it keeping an eyo
upon all overtures extended by his mas
culine rivals."
The "beloved eye" is a passing fadnt
best, doomed to be sbort lived by its
very eccentricity nnd costliness. New

Women Who Carry the Mall.
There are two women mail carriers
in southern Berkshire who are doing
satisfactory work and appear to enjoy
tbe business. Miss Louise Maroome
drives thl stage between Ourtisvillo
and Stockbridge, making two trips a
day, a distance of some four miles. As
there is no rnilroad station at Curtis
ville she does quite an express business
and has a number of passengers. Miss
Murcome is about 25 years old and bas
been driving some four years. She is
noted for her promptness in making tbe
trips and her close attention to business.
Tbe othor woman stage driver bas been
on the road for about six months. She
is Miss Olive Oakes of Egremont, who
carrios the mail from North Egrement
to Oreat Harrington. She is 81 and was
learning the dressmaking business when
ber father, who bas the contract for the
stage line, was taken sick, and Miss
Oakes took his place temporarily. He
grew worse and died about two months
ago. Sho bas continued to drive the
stage. This is a bard trip for a woman,
the distanoe being some six miles, and
she makes two trips a day, and as she
lives midway between the two post
offices this gives ber considerable extra
travel. Thoso women do not use the
regulation stage that is seen in piotnres,
but light wagons. Their prinoipal oargo
is tbe mail and light express packages.
The passengers do not number over que
or two on a trip exoept on special occa
sions. Springfield Republican.
Telling a Farrier's Beeret.
"Furs beoome very much solLd and
need renovation as much as s.iy other
part of a woman's wardrobe," says
Emma M. Hooper in The Ladies' Home
Journal, "but among, tbe many direc
tions given for dealing and renovating
one seldom flndj anything regarding
furs. Furriers keep all such trade secrets
striotly, but occasionally there is a
leakage, and I am able to give the result
of one. Dark furs, as seal, mink and
black , marton, are cleaned with fine
cedai or muhogany sawdust, which is
kept in stock by furriers.
"The garment is ripped free from tbe
lining and the fur laid on a table with
the hair up; then the sawdust is rubbed
in the hair and noitber strength uor
sawdust spared during the process.
When finished, shake tho fur lightly
over tho table and save the sawdust that
drops out. Then put upon the tublo ono
or two feather pillows in their .usual
muslin slips, and upon these lay the
furs, hair down this time, and beat
thoroughly with a switch until tho saw
dust is out and tbe fur ns clean as a
pin. Keep moving the pillows, as the
fur .must have a soft support while
beatou. White furs are cleaned with
white oornmeal applied as tho sawdust
Is ou the darker vurie ties. If white furs
are only slightly soilod, they may be
oluaned with magnesia in small cubes
thut is well rubbed iu and then thor
oughly dusted out."

The stern protPRsor of the feminine
.preparatory school sat at bis desk try
ing to nnravel a knotty problem when
a fluffy haired miss of 16 approached
"Please, sir," she began iu a tremu
lous voieo, "will yon grant me permis
sion to go ont riding with my brother
this afternoon?"
Now, the old man had not forgotten
the days of his youth, neither was he a
fool, and looking over bis spectacles he
slowly said:
"rio yon wnnt to go riding with yonr
.brother, do you? Uy the way, is this
brother of yours nny relation to you?"
