CliniiRinfc Etiquette of the Swell
City Dinner Bothers Her.
"It was splendid," she exclaimed, her
checks aglow and her eyes bright with ex(I
citoment. "Seven courses?not counting
. the oyster cocktail to begin with?and I
never made a misstroke with fork or knife,
S and there was no end of brand new implements
too. I came near making a terrible
miscue, though, with the oyster cocktail.
You sec, the dining room was rather dark,
being lighted only with pink shaded candles,
and in .the gloom the cocktail looked
? just like a sherbet. I couldn't imagine, of
courso, what a sherbet was doing there at
that time, but it was not mine to reason
why, and so I plunged boldly in, resolved
;e to do or die with the first weapon that
seemed at all fitted to moot the sherbet
"" emergency, and I came dreadfully near ?o
e dying with mortification. For a fraction
of a second . I Hesitated, octwcen a lcng,
? slim handled spoon and a short, fat, gold
>r lined one, and then, with what I considered
marvelous forethought, I decided the
long, slim handled one could better be
spared for futuro contingencies and sclect'3r
2d the short, fat one. And I was just tot.j.
tering on the brink of that oocktail with
it in my fingers when I looked up and bee.
held the hostess eating herewith an oyster
fork. My arm actually was palsied, I waa
IS 60 stunned, and I had great difficulty In
making anything like my usual dexterous ,
'lightning change.' I didn't fully recover
>S from the shock until well Into the soup.
... ''But the best part of tho luncheon, aft*
er all, was that there was another countiy
0 relation there besides myself. She sat right
opposite me, poor thing, and I just gloated
H over her misery. If anything, she was
.. more of a freshman than I because she had
not been graduated from the waiting to
eee what others do stage, and with oaoh
new course placed before her I could see
5S tho terrible mcntrfl struggle that was go.
ing on and knew ju6t how her mind was
being torn with doubts between the long
;e tlned fork for the entree and the short
thin one for the salad. Oh, It wm pitiful
u the way her poor little country relation
fingers trembled over the knives and forki
and spoons. I knew she felt just the way
you do when you watch the dentist hunt_
lng around among his tools for some new
Instrument to tortura you with. Really I
g sympathized with her from the bottom of
my heart, but I could not resist the tempf"
tation to lead her astray once or twioe, and
g honestly It was the best kind c4 a lesson,
, for it will teach her tho folly of the waitlng
to see what others do habit. That It
such a weak, vacillating policy, you know,
that really by the time the salad Is reached
you haven't a mind of your own left, and,
besides, it demands such an unrelenting
surveillance over the other guests that
your tongue, which should be your most
powerful ally In concealing your Ignorance,
is effectually bridled, and the mark
of the country relation Is branded upon
you as certainly as though you had looked
af at some dish the butler was serving and
ea had refused to take any?and that reminds
& me of how I once forgot the exception to
J- and did something atrociously
"It was some time ago, wSoTi 1
cJ. custom to pass great heaping baskets of
fruit. It was altogether a decorative
course, and the guests were expected to

which the basket was ornamented and
' leave the foundation of larger fruit undiaid
turbed. As I saw the basket making the
a. circuit of the table I was so oveiwome with
)(j fear that an orange would be thrust upon
me and that I would not know the latest
method of dissecting it, that when the
> j. butler finally reached me and I saw a big
yellow banana exposed I grabbed for It
ravenously, as though I had not tasted
food in wesku. I happened to be almost
the last one, and as I glanced up I saw in
a an instant what I had done. There were
Hl all the other guests daintily nibbling at a
g tiny grapo or a fig and there was that
' ghastly, hideous, awful banana in front
? of me.

Imagination was more highly keyed up.

ning thing that leered at me and taunted
me with my poor country bred manners,
y "Of course it was a trivial, insignlfioant
i thing, and I doubt whether any of the
guests noticed it at all, but I had been an

that when the affair was all over and the
hattiul thing had been removed I actually
i was on the vergo of nervous prostration,
and I registered a vow that never as long
as I lived would I be enticed away from
my own humble table again.
? "Oh, of course you who live upon such
I' din ners every day of your lives,'' the young
woman went on, noticing for the first time
the look of polite amazement on her visitJ
or's face, "cannot appreciate the state of
mind of a country bred woman in moderate
circumstances when she receives an
Invitation to a large dinner party from
one of her city friends, but It is the event

an Ignorant nor an 111 bred woman, and
she has lots of pretty things of her own at

? keep up on all the newest dishes and the
methods zi serving them at a fashionable

and commits no conspicuous blunder she
is naturally elated, just as I am. I must

Yonr Name and Addreaa In a Letter.
Make a practice of signing your name
In full; It Is tho dlguiiled way. And if you
have not given your address in tho beginning,
be sure you do it at the close of yottt
letters. To date loiters Is a good habit, but
in most correspondence it is not so impoi1
t-ant as to give your address. Don't assume
that people rcraombcr it; you may
occupy less space in their minds than you
think, and don't make them take the trou
ble of looking you up lu an address book.
Finally and emphatically, never use a
title in signing your own name. If you
want a strangor to know whothor you are
Miss or Mra. put the proper term in pa
rontheses before your uame; but nothing
| oould bo worse form than to directly lntludo
it in your signature.?"Correct

Scheme to Illii Her.
"nnna iirutn a. tlmn when Mme. AJbonJ
was at Trieste," writes Henry C. Lahoe la
'Famous Singers of Today," "she was
Informed of the existence of a plot to hlM
her off the stage. Having ascertained ths
names of her detractors and where they
were to be found, she donned male attirs,
to which her short hair and robust figure
helped to oomplcte her disguise, and want
to the cafe at whioh tho conspirators met.
Here she found them In full consultation,
and taking a seat at a table she listened
to their conversation for a timet After
awhile she addressed the leader, saying:
"I hear that you Intend to play a trick
npon some one. I am very fond of a little
practical joke myself and should be
glad If you would allow me to join yon
on ttiia occasion."
" ' With pleasure,' was the reply. 'We
Intend to hisa an opera singer off the stage
this evening.'
" 'Indeed 1 And of what is she guilty?'
" 'Oh, nothing, exocpt that, being an
Italian, she has sung in Munich and Vienna
to Gorman audiences, and we think
she ought to reccive some oastigation foi
her unpatriotic conduct.'
"'I agree with you, and now pleaae tell '
me what I am to do.'
" 'Take this whistle,', said the leader.
'At a signal to be given at the conclusion
it the air sung by Rosina the nolsa will
ocgin, and you will have to join in.'
"'I 6hall be very glad to do so,'said
the singer and put the -4thisfclo in bet

"In the evening the house was packed

"Without showing any conoern, Mme.

And, holding up the whistle, which was
hung to her neck by a ribbon, she exclaimed:
'Gentlemen, are you not a llttls

A 6 CAM LESS TUBE.
Ihere Arc Three OperfttUu ltp
Which It May Be Made.
llonry Souther said at a recent meetlna
of the National Association of Mechanical
Engineers that the scientific and technical
designation of a tube, whether seamed of
seamless, depended solely upon the tub#
Itself and not upon the process followed
In its manufacture. Referring to the dlo*
tionary you will find that the word "seam*
Less" means without seam, whioh conveys
no light upon the subject. Turning totha
word "seam," It Is found that it la defined
as a joint, suture, or line of union, and hen
in the last term we find the key. A tuba
jointed in any way cannot be seamless. U
in tho primary stages of Its manufacture
It be lap, butt or lock jointed, It oannot
by any subsequent operation be deprived
of the seam and therefore cannot be considered
when completed as being seamless.
A strictly seamless tube may be made
by any one of three operations?first, m
billet may be by successive steps punched
into the form of a tube with extremal?
Sfrlck sides, and these may then by tha or*
^^S^jjwing processes be reduoedpifl
tube withtklll If full', Mil," tEo billet ma? A
be bored or the blank may be cast with a > ?J|
hole in it and in either case then drawn
" ? ? 1 AI.1 at?
CO tne required dimensions; wrnuy, uh
tube may bo made by the cupping prooew,
which consists In taking a disk of tha
metal, forming It Into a cup shape, grad*
oally elongating the cup and reducing II
In diameter and Anally by this means pro*
ducing a tube.
Each and all of these processes yield a
tube which Is absolutely seamless and ,
about which there is and can be no dispute.
In all tubes formed with a seam
the edges have first been separated, then
united, either by lap or butt weld or by
tome lock joint system, and in these the
joint cannot be eliminated by any aft?J
processes. The custom houses of thl
United States recognize the difference b*
tween a seam and a seamless tube. A
seamless tube is one In which the wall!
have never been separated from the tlms
the metal was in a molten condition to thi
time of the completion of the tube.?Iroa

of the institution, this method is entirely
