she would, no doubt, get Whatshe demanded at

IRE Of Miss Morgan's acquaintance, but I have
seen her hundreds Of times and heard her
talk. She has rich Irish brogue, and talks
very well She is quite lady, and tramping
about the stock yards Of Communipaw has not
robbed her OF any refinement So far as APP
pearance goes she looks rough-not so much
her face as her dress and figure; but she is as
gentle. am told by those who know her, as
the most delicately nurtured belle, and have
no doubt great deal more tender hearted; but
you would not think so to see her lunging along
in her short skirts and big shoes, utterly OBJ

- worth.
Worth is employing for some of his hand
somest toilets brocades with flowers gigantic
enough to vex, by the size Of the figures, even
his consummate art at arranging materials to
make them reasonably quiet and unobtrusive
This he manages chiefly by using only small
quantity Of this gorgeous material in each dress,
and never using it for the corsage. One of his
latest creations is q golden olive satin, with a
ground Of dark olive brocade, the figure being
| huge magnolia with foliage in shades of
golden olive and pale green's. The train is Of
the plain golden satin and the skirt is of the
brocade. The front is caught up slightly to
olive satin, over which falls q fringe composed
of little silk floss balls in the varied tones of
! the brocade.
Waistcoats of almost every shape and mate

of bodice demands the most careful fit and fin

good effect of an otherwise stylish toilet. the

BLACK.
! Black toilets, especially in airy fabrics, over
either black or bright colored foundation, arc
now in the height of fashion. Such dresses are
of black chantilly, Spanish lace, brocaded gren-
adine, or silk gauze, trimmed with pleated
| f1ounces alternating with those Of lace. Some
Of the imported dresses of black, lace and
| and other diaphanous fabrics are trimmed
| with exquisite silver passementeries and orna-
ments forming pendants at the ends Of narrow
! satin ribbons upon the tablier and scarfs, and
[ at tho edges Of the crenelated bodice.
Silver lace is also used, and the draperies are
| held with silver buckles in filigree in old Ro-
| man designs.
! Steaks
| There is no part of the animal like the round
boned sirloin, says Miss Parloa ''Rump cuts
contain three grades Of meat, and ought to be
separated parallel with the backbone. The
! best roast in the animal is on the back of the
rump The top srloin is the toughest part OF
tho steak, but as it contains no bone it is econ

THAI an inch thick. The lower end Of round
| steak is very nice for q stew, or for any slow
method of cooking. Steaks from the top OF
the round must be cooked quickly, SO as to
harden the albumen on the outside. They
should be rare The first cut Of rib roast is
particularly economical for small families.

adopt the chopped beefsteaks for diet. They
are made of beef from the most tender and
juicy part of the round, but in machine
called the American chopper, in such way as

cellular or fbroue structure that contains il

substance. This pulp is carefully removed

A pretty fancy for decorating picture frames
is to paint the plain molding blue, Or pink o1

with flowers. Small frames for the pictures OF

be made suggestive by decorating them with

frame Of Bryant's picture might be painted q
