In the center place a large bo' ( with wired upright loops ) of the three ribbons , holding in ito heart one of the tall glass Vau manufactured to hoid long- atomnlol ro5eI. In this have a cluster of I pink and yellow rocs tied with a bow knot of pale blue ribbon. The various pretty ( hilIOS ! of the hostess can be at where most desirable , a 'peciaiiy pleasing feature of this luncheon being that no two platen need cor- rospomi , provided all are decorated with flowers in dainty tinge. A Croquet Tea-Or course this function is aniy suitable for the summer months. Any cloth that the hc.itess may prefer is in order.

An Engagement Breakfast-Nothing Is prettier thall this special fonn of entertain- mont. There are always carpenters ready for a sniall fe to use their tools in your service , and at an engagement breakfast th ir knack is especially requIred. Supiose there are to be ten or tweivo present. and to liavo a very select company and a thoroughly - oughly enjoyable tIie no more s'hiouId ba in- vitod. This number usually comprises the brldonialds , ushers and bride and groom- elect. Have your willing carpenter make a heart-shaped table , one -i the form of a horseshoe ; another in the forni of a dIamond , and the fourth in tim form of a clover leaf. The first table should be covered with white satin , white satin ribbon bInding the edge end ending in a large bow &t the aide. The bride amj groom-oIct sit bore. From each of heir chairs is a sort of ribbon harncs , starting from a white bow hioldixag a cluster of white rosebuds on the back and ending in the hands of a china cupid , who presides eYe ! the center piece of white roses in a heart-shaped dish. The other tables are done in violet , pink and -ellow flowers , ribbons - : bens and candle shade3 , all correspondIng In. 'tone.

Bring the kitchen tahle into the ( lining room , l'iit on no cloth , or one that lib boon darned and redarned untli it looks like a mass of drawn work , or patched and repatchod until it resembles a crazy quit. Uo tallow dIps in the veriest poverty-stricken candlestlcks The wooden platters that butter come in should servo as plates , Bone handled knives and two-tinod forks are in order , and the menu broad in every con- colvabio form , toasted and untoasted , cheese and baker's kisses , the regulation trio supposed - posed to be the taple daily bhhi of fare for all poor folks vlto have married for love , This menu can , of course , be augmented by sundry dishes on the buffet that may appeal more strongly to cultivated palates , but in its meagerness and the absence of all wonted refinements in the equipment of the table , the vovorty luncheon as described Is es- sentiaily au ( alt.

The piece was first presented in the early portion of the season at the Fifth Avenue theater , New York , where it scored an inetantaneous succe'ss. 'rho characters portrayed are those of amclals in high life , while the story itself revolves around the much discussed Cuban questIon. Time character - actor essayed by Mr. Goodwtn is that of Obadiahi Peck , a UnIted States senator and chairman of the committee on. foreign affairs. lie is described as possesaing vast wealth and power In early middle life , being ad. mired for his iategrlty , Industrr and execu- tlve force , but imated by many fom' his in- corruptibility. His enemies called him a jester. As a senator , he Imoid that reproach affected him only , and did not hurt him. He was a jester and rather proud of It. Senator Beck cherished a hot sympathy with time Cuban revolutIonists. He Imad prepared a bill placing Cuban. manufactured sugar on tIme free lIot , whichi , lie strangely thinks' is a step toward recognizing their Inclepemidence. Thmls bill has passed the house ( and senate , and time president hiss vetoed it , for honest reasons which the senate could not questIon. Nevertheless. he was determined that his bill should be passed over the veto , and it wao so passed n Limb n.d , bumt time sugar mon and unscrupulous holitlciami5 comblmacd to clmoelc Beck's career. They urge hIm flrst to nc- cept the office tendered him by the hresi- dent , of secretary of state. This is de- dined , as it woumici remove hiun from time battlefield. Then they urge him to accept the nomination for the presidency , Tlmeir plan being to have him placed before the convention and then , by means of bribery , so , utterly crum'hed in. defeat , that hie wIll appear before the country a very lnsignlfi- cant figure and lose his power in Washing. ton. This doubtful plot against him lie die- covered In time 'and adnalnistered a crush- lug defeat to his enemies , chief of whom is a senator. whose daughter Beck loves. Mr. Goodwin has never had a imiore congenial role , The contrasting character to that of Senator fleck ha that of Ruth Maxwell. She has known him from bar childhood , and has alivayo made Beck tIme hero of her dreams. In fact ho remembers her as a chIld wearing pigtails. When ho meets her , In Washington - ton , silo lisa grown up , and lie falls so via. iently in love with her timat the nation is a secondary consideration. This character is essayed by Annie Russell. Mr. Goodwin's supporting company is undoubtedly tIme otrongest ime has ever had , and includes. beside - side Miss Russell , Jean Clara Walters , Ethel Browning , Estehle Mortimen and George Fawcett.
