I should be wonder ing If everything would go off all right." "Well." suggested her friend, "if you would like ito entertain, why dcn't you give ?a lu noli eon to so 1110 of your girl friends? Luncheons are ?o much more informal than dinners, and if your luncheon goes off well, it will give you oourage to attempt a dinner." The bride dropped her embroidery suddenly. I have ii," she cried; "I'll get up an Kaster luncheon, and invite my bridesmaid: Now you know," she continued. confidentially, as she re sumed h<Nr work, "I'm a greenhorn, and I wish you'd just advise me how to do it. Hot ween you and me, I'm Just arhing for a ohonce to show off my pr^iity cut glass and silver." Mrs. Kirke smiled. "Vanity," she remonstrated, "but if you would like to invite your bridesmaids, I think 1 can help you get up a very protty affair." "You're ever so good." replied tho other gratefully, "for I'm so stupid about such things. Now. if it were a cae of doing some Greek prose, or translating a bit of Horace,"- I'd feel more a! liome. And I do wish I'd had a chance to learn housekeeping at college. " "Well," responded her companion, "I'll be only too glad to give you tiie l>e lie lit o f .m y experience, such as it is. In the first place, as long as it is ?to be aji ]Cas>ter luncheon, your dec orations "must be lilies, of course, and the color scheme green and white. ' "That would bo pretty," comment ed Mrs. Lawrence, "and L. have a handsome cut glass vase that would do for the lilies." Mrs. Kirke shook hT head. ' "No. I have a newer Idea than that. Get one of these pretty green mats from the fk.ri?*'? (with fringed edges), and double it owr corner wise, fastening with a big bow of green ribbon. Then you can lay the lilies in that, so that some come out each end. It gives kind of a basket effect. The silver candelabra that your aunt gave you will be just the thing for the table, with groen shaded candles." "But don't you think green gives a ghastly light?" objected the bride. "Not if you get the right shade," responded her friend, "and anyway you want it to harmonize with the re?t of the luncheon. "Now for your menu. I think it is a good idea to let the various course* carry out the color scheme, and you can have gro^ .variation in gresn and white. Firat of all, have little neck claims served with water cress: ?here's your green for that course. Then for your soup. Ix>t me see. If 1 were ? yo\i, I'd* have cream of cu cumber.

A message from President Roosevelt expressed sympathy and volunteered the services of the army and navy. Thousands Viow Ruins. In the meantime the local organiza tions, such as the Associated Chari ties and the Salvation Army were perfecting their work and they pro fessed entire ability to find temporary quarters for all the homeless. The burned district was closely pa trolled by the State militia. The work of the guard, however, con sisted mostly in keeping people from venturing too near the standing walls. There was very little propirly re maining to be guarded, so thoroughly had the "area been swept by the flames. In fact, the underwriters who viewed the ruins sinv no prospect of salvage of any description. One street. Broadway, was cleared and opened to the general public, and aa it led straight through the heart of the ruins, a steady stream of people moved through it all day. A f"w of the ruins smoked lazily during the day and two more oil tanks eairrht lire and burned themselves out.
