"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."

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.

“To kiss me,” said she. thoughtfully,
