ReIfRIOu and Press

The Catholic Telegraph INDUCES in a
Lenten hemily on that very delicate and diff
fcult subject, ''the dress of American ladies. -
Speaking of the display of dry goods and
fnery at recent ball, it says: money
enough to feed and clothe astarviug and a
naked nation was expended to deck the
dainty figures, the necks, arms and fingers
of the ladies present. Each Wed with her
neighbor IN the expensiveness of her gor-
geous get-up, which was changed in man y
cases, every one of those six nights, and in
every detail. The amount of money ex-
pended in this manner must have been
simply enormous. An irate millionaire
might exclaim under criticism, MAY / not
do what will with mine own7' The an
swer would be Most certainly. but if YOU
are Catholic, or a Christian. ask yourself
whether your charity, your aims to the
poor, your contributions to Church purposes.
are in proportion to the large sums you
lavish in empty display. Moreover, is all
this grandeur in good faster" The QUOTA
ton from Ruskin which follows emsodies
wise suggestions. "Now mind" he says,
''you always dress charminglyi it is the first
duty of a girl to be charming, and she can
not be charming unless she is charmingly
dressed. Set an example of beautiful dress
without extravaganza, that is to say, without
waste or any unnecessary splendor." Then
follows quotation from one greater than
Ruskin: ain like manner women in decent
apparel, adjoining themselves with modesty
and sobriety, and not with plated hair, or
gold, or pearls, or costly array, but as it be-
cometh women protesting piety with good
works." These words are good, especially
in Lent, when the Church cries with the
wailing prophet: "Gird thee with sackcloth,
o daughter of my people, and sprinkle thee
with ashes"

An Infaliible Recipe.


That portion of civilized mankind which,
being pecuniarily at its ease, may reasona-
bly, aspire to have its meals intelligently
dressed, owes deep debt of gratitude to the
eminent Partisan psychologist, DIR. Delau-
nay, who has recently revealed to it a
method of testing the culinary capacities of
candidates for the important office of family
cook. He does not hesitate to avow that,
in his opinion, his recipe for the choice of
such miListrant is an Infallible one. 1t is
as follows: When a self-styled cook pre-
sents herself with an offer of her services, do
not trouble her with technical interrogations
touching sauces, entrees and relieves. She
may have crammed" these subjects in
such sort as to TEEN with satisfactory an
swers to all queries, and yet be an execrable
cook. But give her a plate snd napkin,
and ask her to wipe the former with the lat
ter. If, in performing this simple function,
she cause the napkin to revolve from left to
right, she is assuredly an accomplished cult
nary artist; if from right to left there can
be no doubt of her gross ignorance and ut
ter incompetency. 1t is but fair to DR.. De-
launay to state that the application of this
test to cooks is only one illustration of the
DRY set forth by him, and based upon the
following curious assumptions: All persons
given to describing circles from right to left
are intellectually inferior to those who OBJ.
serve the contrary practice. This being so,
1t is obvious that the culinary candidate
whose lack of brain culture prompts her to
wipe plate in a series of movements in
which the "barbsric curve" is repeatedly
described, can not possibly be endowed with
mental capacity of a caliber enabling her to
broil chop; while the cook whose rotatory
action with buster and dish exhibits the sew
ilized curve" may be confidently counted
