The AnnlvorHary folebrallfliiK Wore ComInK Too Fust to lie Enjoyed. "You don't seem to be on such good terms with the people next door as you were?" "Not quite. You see, the fact is they began to work the wedding anniver sary dodge and they overdid it." re plied the wise neighbor, relates Elliott Flower in the Brooklyn Eagle. "How is that?" “Well, you know, you can find a spe cial anniversary celebration for pretty nearly every year, if you only hunt for it. Looks to me as If the etiquette books invented new weddings tor every edition these days. We didn’t bother tal and a few other kinds of weddings, but these people began working in ev ery known metal and precious stone. Just as soon as they got acquainted they began fixing up wedding anniver saries, and it seemed to us we were giving them shower parties right along.” "It became monotonous, did it?” “Oh. wc stood it for awhile, but when we caught them, in tlie guise of merri ment,'working in tour or five different celebrations the same year we simply had to 3top it, so we started a series of counter attraction].” “But they're younger than you are." “Oh, yes. They had the be3t of it on the real oolebrition3, which come with greater frequency in the earlier years of married life, but there were more of us, and by skipping a few’ years now and then we were able to work lh some of the kind that really count. Then we fixed up a nice little scheme to ring in an old couple in the next block for a diamond wedding, and we had them beaten proper. They had to make a sudden trip out of town | for a week to miss that wedding, and 1 since they came back they have es i chewed all gayety on the plea that i some distant relative has just died. But we’re a little ahead of them now on account of a golden wedding that we worked, and we're ready for them if they ever start up again and they know it. In fact, I think they're plan ning to move. Meanwhile, the rest of us divided up on everything received." Mveet Potato CnKtapd. Line a pie tin with good, rich paste. Bake in a quick oven until quite brown.

NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS. .1 Variety of lit formation on l)o::ie> tle Subject* for IIouMCwive*. Curtains of cluny furnish the only novelty of the season in the form of luce draperies. Openwork patterns are generally pre ferred for fine damask tablecloths, says he Brooklyn Eagle. The stained window glass effect is produced by curtains of brussels net, ornamented by colored applications. Tatting has been revived and some exceedingly dainty centerpieces and doylies are evolved by women clever in manipulating the shuttle. According to an authority if when making jam a few drops of salad oil r.re rubbed over the bottom of the pre rerving kettle the jam is less likely to rtick if the stirring be less constant than it should be. From an English correspondent comes a suggestion for a new way to cerve mutton: Take the thick end of n leg of mutton, which has been well hung and rub with a little salt and black pepper. Bone carefully and fill the cavity with stuffing as for a fillet of veal and bind un tiehtlv. Then en [•lose In good suet paste, such as is 'used for dumplings. Tie up tightly in a cloth, put it into boiling water and ’ eep it constantly simmering until it is done, allowing about an hour to each three pounds of weight. Serve in the paste with red currant jelly. Children will delight in an ingeni ous contrivance, namely, a continuous bubble blower. After dissolving a small piece of soap in water the small boy or girl fills a tiny bottle fitted into the blower, and then blows. It is claimed that bubble blowing may be satisfac torily carried on for hours with this toy. which is an imported novelty. Silk sheets represent an extreme ex travagance even in these days of lux urious bed coverings. One pair of silk sheets recently seen were in pale he liotrope tint, upon which violets were daintily embroidered. The eiderdown coverlet which accompanied these sheets was in the palest heliotrope sat in. also embroidered with violets and filled with violet scented down. An other 3et was of white sill: bordered with a design of rosebuds and scented with white rose sachet. The coverlet to match was of white satin, in the center of which appeared a cluster of roses and foliage.
