THE GEJVTLE AHT OT Maay a plain girl is puzzled to knovr how lo compote with the pretty, fascinating one. How can the maid with out beauty become a social success?) If she would bo in demand socially it i is necessary for her to acquire only j one art. that of reading the future. ; What is better for the breaking of the ice at the beginning of a house party than the sight of a girl, pretty or otherwise, with a pack of cards and ; the promise to "tell yours next," or to call attention to you as the man for whom there is a Journey in store, , or the lady toward whom the dark , man's thoughts are directed? As-! suredly the girl who can read tho cards is a boon to society. Thero are three prime requisites to the successful reading of tho future. ' The reader must have a "system.") For a full undertsandlng of it and a ; complete mastery of all Its details she i must possess the second requisite j a vivid imagination. The third requisite Is Intuition. ! And now for the system. It Is the' one that was brought over from Paris by the famous Albino Parsee woman , who made 6uch a stir on the midway , during the Columbian exposition. First eliminate from the deck all the the spot cards from deuces to sixes. That will leave thirty-two cards, each of which has at least two meanings, according to Its position, with the exception of the king and queen of hearts. These are always "personal" , cards that is. if a man is having his ' future read he Is represented by the king of hearts, no matter what his complexion or condition. The lady , whose fortune is being told Is the , queen of hearts and the cards in her four lines are the ones which reveal . her destiny. In any cae the king and queen of any suit constitute a married couple, although the same narcim mm v ekiv tin tvlM In (Ha same layout. i-or instance, tue iajy who Is baTlng the sitting is the abovementioned queen and h r husband or lover Is the king of hearts; but he

may be a dark man or a professional I man, ia which event he would appear in another place as the king of spades or of clubs. The reader has need of an air of all -wisdom You hand a lady the pack and ask her to shuffle well, putlog her whole mind into the shuffling. nnrl to titak on daftltlte wish. When she had done this you take the cards j from her and lay them out in four , rows of eight cards each. You smile ; and look pleased. The queen of hearts Is right in the midst of things. In 1 another instant the smile changes to ! a frown and a look of perplexity, i "You are facing an obstacle.' you be-! gin. " A woman with great wealth ' lies between you and the home on ; which your eyes are fixed." i "Yes, that's Aunt Ellen, who de-! clares she won't leave my a cent If .

"A good friend, a lady, has great ' influence which she will exert to your ; advantage. You will see this good j friend Tery soon sad you will talk 1 with her on the theme of marriage. ! That marriage will take place." You ' look up in time to catch the look of rolief and Joy in her eyes, and then j you dash her hopes again. "But not so ' soon as you had expected. Someone has told a faltehod. or at least. , has grossly misrepresented things." I "Is it a man or a woman?" sho asks j breathV-sly 4 A n an a rival for your affections." you t-ll her.

TELLING r O R T V fi ES" lay-out covers her whole life and her secret wish will come out of Its own accord. You lay the queen of hearts in the center of the table, and. when the other cards have been shuffled according to directions you take them in your left hand and spread tun ot. fan-like, as much as possible. Now you command the sitter to draw twenty-one cards, one at a time. She hands the first one to you. and you lay it face downward on the queen. I There are now to be seven piles of ihre cards each, the first pile , being placed on the queen and he i other six forming a circle around her. Of the Fix encircling croup the first is something of which the inquirer stands in dread, the second concerns her home and family, the third relates to her secret hope and desire, the fourth Is the unknown and unantici pated, the fifth a return of something in the past or something undo-; slrable. and tho sixth is the final outcome of the whole matter. The cards ' are laid down, one at a tlmo. The reader turns the first one over and notes that it consists of the seven of diamonds and the seven of clubs , and the king of hearts. Now the j first of these sevens may signify either "success" or "a visit." Hence that which is about to take place is j "the unexpected visit of her lover, the j man she is ultimately to marry." The I first one of the encircling piles Is 1 composed of the nine of spades, the eight of hearts and the jack of hearts. Here the sitter has a close call. Had the "loss" card fallen between the oth er two it would have slgnlüVd the ulii-! mate loss of her lover. Since the two hearts sre together she has a chance to win In the end. As luck will have It. the third pile proves to be he ace. eight and nine of club. It tells of a change in the heme whlrh is veiled from the sitter's ken. Th- ace of clubs may be "a lie." a secret" or simply that which is unknown The next pile, dealing with the IN most wish, shows the are of hearts and the eight spot of damonds and spades. The first of these may mean a business engagement, but in this case there is no doubt that it signifies an engagement ring. The eight of diamonds means "company" when It He next to a face card. Here it Is simply "assurance." and the eight of spades, which, taken in connection with sinister cards, fortells "discomfort" of one kind or another, here stands for "a strange house." so that the three cards pomlse the aasuance of a ing from a strange house. Now comes the nine of diamonds, the ace of the same suit and the ten of spades which, read together, foretell the coming of a "business letter containing money." The pile next Is something she would gladly leave beband. It is composed of the seven and ace of spades and the queen of diamonds. It is the old disappointment concerning the rich aunt's estäte and it is so non-committal that it throws no now light on the subject. Fortunately the last pile, the final outcome of the whole matter. Is wonderfully propitious. It Is made up of three tens koarU, diamonds and clubs. The girl to whom theso three cards come as the fruition of her present state has no need to dread the future. Specifically they convoy the news of marriage and great wealth: but they shed a radiance over all that that has gone before, clearing; up all difficulties and giving a benign Interprotatlon to everything that looked dark or mvsterlous. With these rudiments of the oldest and most approved "systom" it ought not to be difficult for any clever girl to equip herself with the surest cntre to social favor. One thing she must remombor. Let hor nover. under any circumstances, lay her own cards wretched harbinger of 111 luck! She may Interpret her own fortune; but the cards must go to the table through the hands of another.

"I'm sure I couldn't say," replied the pretty girl. "I hope he is, because Mr. Wolfert never wants to take the launch out, and Harry will take it out any time I ask him."

"If nnybody asks me to ro boat riding or Join tho crowd bathing or sit In the moonlight on the porch or make one of a hayrack party I shnll say. 'No, thank you.

The quiet home wedding does not demand the formality that a church wedding does. The Invitations, however, should be sent out about two weeks In advance, by the mother of the bride, and should read about as follows: Mr. and Mrs. .Tamos Watson Smith request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter, Mary Elizabeth, to Mr. Charly Wilson, on Wednesday evening. Juno thirtieth, nineteen hundred nine, at eight o'clock. It Is a matter of choice with the bride whether she be married at midday, In the afternoon, or In the evening. Perhaps the morning (noon) wedding Ip a little more fashionable, though thf afternoon wedding (that is. between three and five o'clock) has recently become quite popular; and there have also been many weddings in the evening during the past year among people who are rather particular about always doing the proper thing. The day-time wedding Is sometimes darkened, by drawing the shades, while lights nnd shaded candles are used as a part of the decoration. In passing, it might be said that the floral decorations of the house are often left to the girl friends of tho bride. At one end of the room there should be placed a table witli a Bible on it. beside which the clergyman will stand: and thero should bo two low hassocks or cushions for the bride and groom to kneel on. The bride's mother should receivo the guests as they arrle. and during the ceremony should stand near the bridal couple. The groom goes Into the room In which the ceremony Is to take place, and stands near the table, or Improvised alter, alone, except for his best man (if be has one) and the i It-rgyman. He should nriive some minut s before the bride, and stand at the altar awaiting her. The bride comf3 Into the room on the arm of her father, with the bridesmaid walking in front of them, alone. When they reach the table or altar, the maid of honor takes her place at the side of the bride. The father places the baud of the bride In that of the groom and then steps back a i-fep or two to the side of his wife, and r mains there until the words in the tere-mony. "Who givtth this woman to be married to this man?" Then he steps forward and makes the answer, after which he again takes his place by the side of his wife, and remains there until tho ceremony is over. Tho best mnn stands at the left of the groom and his duty is to hand the ring (which has previously been given him by the groom) to the minister. The minister then hands it to the groom, who places It upon tho bride's finger. The bride removes her glove, the maid of honor taking the glove and bouquet of the bride and holding them until after the benediction. When the ceremony is over the parents are first to bless the newly married couple. Then the clergyman steps aside and the bride and groom take his place beside the table and stand facing the company tp receive the good wishes and congratulations. It Is good forr.. to wish the bride happiness, and congratulate the groom. It is now the custom to have music during the service, but it should be soft and low that It may not drown the voice of the clergyman or the others taking part In the ceremony. If gifts are displayed, they should be In another room, and all cards removed, though of course the bride herself should have a list of all the presents and the names of the friends who thus remembered her. Indiana Farmer. Hmts About the Home. Equal parts of tea and lukewarm water Is a good solution for sponging plants. When you have ocenslon to use plaster of parls mix It with vinegar Instead of water. Use a small piece of softened white soap with whiting or silver polish to greatly expedite the process of cleaning silver or paint. To prevent tlnwnre rusting rub over with fresh lawl and place In n hot oven for a few minutes. If new tins are treated like this they will seldom rust To whiten a doorstep, wash the steps clean and lot them dry. Then mix a little quicklime with some milk and wipe the steps over with It. They will be beautifully white. Carpets and rugs can be thoroughly cleaned by being hung over a clothesline and having the garden ho3e turned upon them. This will do no harm to nny carpet. Dry In a shady place. Windows, mirrors or picture glass n:ny be easily polished by using a muslin bag tilled with whiting. Dampen the glass slightly, then rub with the bag and polish with newspapers. To keep moth nnd buffalo hugs from rugs or carpets sprinkle well with salt, then wipe with n cloth dampened with warm water having spirits of turpentine added In the proportion of a spoonful to every quart of water. Methods of Fitting Gulmpe. Most mothers know the difficulty of

making a gulmpe fit on a restless child. Even wh n apparently well cut and fitted It will rise in an ugly fashion with em h movement of the child. One mother has solved this difficulty In n way that may not be known to others. Sho cuts her small daughter's guliupes to the waistline or as long as her uudorwalst. and (Inishus the odgu with a row of buttons. To the buttons can be fastened the drawers nnd petticoats. Not only does the weight keep the gulmpe frock from "riding," but It Is much more comfortable on warm days not to have tho three thlcKnessses of undcrwalst, gulmpe nnd frock. The gulmpe need be made of fine material only as far as It shows beyond the yoke of frock. Ilelow It a musllu. nainsook or any other material used for underclothing can be substituted.

uttons cn All Costumes. A whole chapter might be devoted to the buttons of the season, so Important is the part they play In the trimming of costumes, suits, gowns for all occasions. Those on street dresses nnd suits are silk or selfcovered that Is. covered with n material like the suit; they run from forms no larger than a lentil to twoinch disks. They are set on points of band and tab trimming, lengthwise down the sleeve, in long single or double rows down the back of princess dresses, or they define nnd trim the slashed or panelled coats and Jackets. Those for evening or dinner gowns have become perfect little works oi art, especially the two-inch disks. They are covered with cretonne flowered silks or are embroidered with the vigItale stitch In delicate or bright colors; they are then set Into a bed of chiffon or liberty flower petals, and in this form are used to secure sash or girdle or bretelle trimmings. Harper's Bazaar. Sailor Ties Fashionable. Tho snllor tie is tho fashionable shoe. Its ribbon fnstenlng has given way in mnny instances to a metal buckle, usually sliver or steel. Patent leather is the material most used for day wear; kid, tho color of tho gown, for evening. Long Coats Popular. Tho long coat is the most popular form of wrnp for street wear. Ulaek broadcloth, braid trimmed, makes a practical, serviceable outer garment built on loose box lines and Is Incoming to the average figure. Fabrics Alike on Both Sides. There Is a silk and wool Ottoman out of which dressmakers and tailors will make separate long coats to be worn over one-piece frocks. It is woven exactly alike on both sides, so that It will not need a lining. Correct White Hosiery. While hosiery to mati h the shoe will be generally worn, white stock Inzs or socks may be correctly worn with all kinds of boou, ties and slippers. Narrow Skirts. Some of the new skirts are so narrow that they look like bolster cases; and Indeed, go under that name. New Hat Trimmings. New hat ribons show an Immense white polka dot on deep colored backgrounds, such as dark red. navy blue, golden brown and green. Tucking For Panels. A bnnd of narrow tucking down each side of tho panel from and back of a princess frock Is almost as protty as embroidery. Oriental Embroideries. Tho Oriental embroideries glvo one who can draw mnny good Ideas for designs for her sofa pllows. Net Overrobes. Lace and net overrobes will he much worn over straight, un trimmed gowns, the handsomest of the robos being embroidered with Jewels. The New Heel. Some of tho new Cuban heals are curved at the back, suggesting tho French heel. FOL-DE-ROL. Belts should match the skirt. Black will play a great part this season. Contrasts In embroidery and braiding are rare. Ribbons play an Important part In feminine dress. Among the new lingerie are the princess chemises. There are signs of tho reappearance of the bertha. The voiles are loss talked of than for some seasons. The colors for both silk nnd lisle horse uro almost ondless. Colored ntv Is fashionable and Is more serviceable than white. For trimming the lingerie frocks Irish crochet takes the lead. Nothing fixed, nothing that has a premeditated look, is permitted about the heair. Some of tho tilted hats are trimmed only on the lower side, which Is usually right. Among tho tailored suits the coats nro not quite ns long as they woro last season. Skirting aro nearly all striped, which adds to tho long lined effects of tho season. Cherries and plums In all statos of greenness, ripeness and decay, have again become popular. The cuirass Is a bodice that fits the flguro closely, but that does not suggest nny constriction of the waistline strnlght and still colaclv fitting, to the odgs of which Is added a skirt. The duller metallic effects nro gaining speedily In favor. In fact, tho metal laces are dyed or veiled with net, so that nil that Is left of their brilliance Is a soft sort of Incandescent shimmer.
