imagination can produce IS evidence. And the
heads of 1.-THE two families find it necessary
to put more streets and townships between
them. Yet with this bitter experience, leav-
ing q bad taste in the mouth Of each, both
women hunt up another bosom friend in order
that they may discourse on the vileness and
peridy Of the lost friend. Public chroniclers
might perish for news as to how women paint,
powder, blacken their eyes, drink, smoke
And cut up generally, II it were not for the
''lost friends who see to it that suoh doings
do not go down to darkness and obscurity.
English Dressmaking.
One thing that is very odd about English
ladies, says Lucy Hooper, is the fact that they
never care to have their dresses fit They all
wear gowns, the cut of which would drive en-
average American female wild with misery. I
was at the opera last night, and in front OF me
sat 3 young lady, wearing a dross of pale blue
brocade, trimmed with pearl passementerie. It
laced up the back, and one side of the back Of
the corsage Was fully half an inch higher than
the other, to say nothing of such minor defects
as sleeves cut out very much in the back, and
a general series of wrinkles all over the
corsage. This is rather an extreme case, but
as q rule the dresses worn by English women
do not make ever a feeble pretense at fitting
them.
The English dress and cloakmakers complain

American clients, who are used to well-ftting
garments, and who insist upon having them
when they pay q good price for the articles.
Tho cases Of the Messrs. Benjamin, the ulster
makers in Conduit street, may be remembered
They put . placard in the window saying that
no orders from America would be received
without prepayment of the half the price of
the article. The reason Of this was the simple
fact that their American customers would not
take ill-made. i'll fitting ulsters. They sent ono,
| rememhhr tn an AmerjrAp la1v which waa
three inches longer in front than it was at the
back. So the lady refused to take 1t, and con-
siderable unpleasantness WAS the result Well
dressed, one half of the young English women
Venuses. As it is, they are merely the COM
monplace girls with a touch Of the absurd
about their appearance. Now and then one
sees a face so fresh, 80 fair. 80 charming in its
loving in spite of combed- back hair aud a hor-
riD!e bonnet. But it must be very lovely to
stand such atest, and not one in thousand eau
do 30.
A Good Waiting Suit.
"LiBle thread is a somewhat new departure
for underwear" says Clara Belle in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, ''and for persons Of full
habit, or those who feel the heat very much,
there is nothing better. 1t is elastic, but at
the same offers a healthy friction. +,
1T shall be able to waltz for hours this
summer said a frivolous young thing, where
last summer l could only keep it up for
minutes.'n
How is that?'I asked.
"'You've heard Of Springfield Jack
if remember rightly, that helped his gait so
much as to make him a wonderful runner.
Well, consider me mechanically improved all
over in that kind Of way. I've got on an elias
tic, eelskin sort OF combination suit 1t keeps
me at a tension, and makes every nerve and
muscle feel capable of unprecedented activity
and endurance. A girl who couldn't waltz
continuously under such conditions would DO 4

Night Gowns.
TIL prevailing styles for nightgowns are
the sacque shapes with Jokes of lace or en-
broidery. A novelty is a night robe of fine
which has a dennis train, the entire front of
rich Florentine lace edging in cascades down
the center and in a double quilting around the
bottom. Linen lawn is much used will real
lace for handsome gowns, made up with wha.
Hubbard gown-a model borrowed from the
chlldren's dress Of that name-is another style.
On the more expensive robes there is q wealth
of garniture, and the garment follows the out
line OF the figure closely. suggesting a dressing
robe or wrapper rather than a nightgoWn.
Household Hints.
A nice way to cook a piece Of the round Of beet
is to line a saucepan with thin slices of bacon; then
lay the beef in. Cover it with water. Cover tho
saucepan, and let the meat cook slowly for several
hours, or until it is perfectly tender. As the water
boils away add more. SO that plenty will BIO left for
gravy. Season highly with salt, pepper, celery salt
or curry. and some small onions sliced.
New potatoes cookedfu this way make a dainty
breakfast dish: Put a lump of butter in o frying
pan, stir in with it as 1t softens a tablespoonful OF
flour. a small onion chopped tne, aad a little pars-
ley; lastly, q small cup OF sweet cream. Stir until
l fhASa y u.al1 ~ than o-t tn t1n aid I'll II
potatoes, cut In small pieces Let all boil together.
Serve hot.
So many OF the small fruits, such as blackberries,
plums. etc, are delicious picked that q general rule
for making a sweet pickle is desirable. To seven
pounds of fruit allow two pounds OF sugar. one
quart of vinegar, and spices to your taste. Cassia
buds make a very delicate favor, but are somewhat
expensive when compared with other apices.
An tndiRestible but delicious frosting for a cake
Of one layer is made Of boiled frosting, with Eu-
Rlish walnut meats, raisins. and q very little citron
added; chop these and stir in: have it about an
inch think on the cake. and pin a papor around the
cake 80 that the frosting will not run of before 1t
has time to cool.
Mead, which is enjoyed by many as a summer
drink, is made of one pound and . half of white
sugar, with one pint and a half Of boiling water
poured over It: add an eighth OF apound Of ~tartaric
acid and half an ounce Of ~sassafras. Bottle this,
Ard when you use it, to each glass add q pinch of
soda,
very appetizing; to one quart of stock ALLOW. one
pint and a half OF stewed tomatoes which YOU have
sweetned and sailed to your taste; add an onion
sliced, which may be removed before serving the
SOUP. Let the soup simmer gently and not boil
hard.
An excellent pudding is made Of tart apples
stewed, aud then put in layers with fine cracker or
bread crumba. While the apples are still hot stir
sugar and a little butter with them. This should
be baked for half an hour. A little sweet cream Ia
a great addition, but ii "a good without any sauce.
II your tomato vines hang very full o. green to-
matoes, q few may be picked and picked, and those
which are left will grow and ripen more rapidly.
These green ones will mako excellent pickles, aud
are nice canned for use next spring. They are so
firm they will keep perfectly.
The linen duster is extinct as q travellers cloak.
Ladies' now wear cloth, cashmere and summer silk
jacket or a Jersey polonaise that protects the dreas
from dust, and affords needed warmth.
One way to cook summer squash is to cut 1t
in slices about an inch thick and boil in sailed
water, using just IS little as will answer. When
done drain it well and without masking; serve
it with butter, pepper and salt
The late peas are sometimes thought to be Inn
proved II when cooking a small piece Of ham, or
bacon. or Of corned beer is cooked With them. Re-
move the meat before serving, and thicken tho
soup with -four or %Arrowroot.
A little tomato catsup is q greas addition to
a mixture Of cold boiled ham, mustard, etc.
for sandwiches.
II nutmeg is grated and mixed with ginger in
hard gingerbread, q piquant flavor is given to
it
