The W. T. Falconer Mfg. Co.: 



Gentlemen — The goods you sent me 

 are at hand, and I find them, as far as 

 examined, very satisfactory.

Literary Notej. 



Lilian Bell is now in Russia for the 

 Ladies' Home Journal, and one of her 

 recent achievements was to secure a 

 photograph of the Czar with her own 

 camera. This is most difficult to do in 

 Russia, where every one with a camera 

 becomes a suspect. But the Russian 

 officers helped this bright American 

 girl. Miss Bell will tell the story of 

 her capture of the Czar in the June 

 Journal.

Mrs. Cleveland recently had a new 

 set of photographs taken, the first time 

 she has been photographed since leav- 

 ing the White House, and has given 

 them to Mr. Bok, with permission to 

 publish them in the Ladies' Home Jour- 

 nal, where they will be publicly seen 

 for the first time. The set also includes 

 the first authoritative photographs pub- 

 lished of the new Princeton home of 

 the Clevelands.

The May issue of table talk contains 

 much good reading as well as helpful 

 information. "The Edible Weeds and 

 Grasses," are discussed by Miss Cor- 

 nelia C. Bedford, who also ably con- 

 ducts the departments of "Housekeep- 

 ers' Inquiries" and "New Menus and 

 Seasonabl Recipes," being an author- 

 ity on all culinary and household mat- 

 ters. "The Passing of the Pie" is much 

 regretted by Martha Bockee Flint. 

 "Familiar Superstitions" are spoken of 

 by Mrs. Burton Kingsland; "The Olive 

 and its Oil," and the process through 

 which they pass before placed on the 

 market are described by Isabel Bates 

 Winslow; Mrs. Jacobs tells of "Choco- 



late in Cookery." Some of the most re- 

 cent books which are to hold their 

 places in the literary world are men- 

 tioned by Mary Lloyd. Fashions are 

 talked of by Tillie May Forney, while 

 "The New Bill of Fare" by Mrs. M. C. 

 Myer, touches upon many topics of in- 

 terest to women of today. A sample 

 copy of Table Talk is offered to any of 

 our readers who will send their ad- 

 dress to the Table Talk Publishing Co., 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



"How TO Manage Beks," a 50c. book, 

 and the American Bee-Keeper a year
