Imagination can produce as evidence. And the
heads Of sthe two families find it necessary
to put more streets and townships between
them. Yet with this bitter experience, leav-
women hunt up another bosom friend in order
that they may discourse on the yilaness and
perfdy Of the lost friend Public chroniclers
might perish for news as to how women paint,
powder, blacken their eyes, drink, smoke
cigarettes, dine with other ladies' husbands,
and cut up generally, il it were not for the
'lost friends" who see to it that such doings
do not go down to darkness and obscurity
English Dressmalsng.
One thing that is very odd about English
ladies, says Lucy Hooper. ia the fact that they
never care to have their dresses fit. They all
wear gowns. the cut of which would drive an
average American female wild with misery.
was at the opera last night, and in front of me
sat 9 young lady wearing dress Of pale blue
brocade, trimmed with pearl passemenserie 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, aud
general series of wrinkles all over the
corsage. This is rather an extreme case but
as a rule the dresses worn by English women
do not make even feeble pretense at fitting
them.
The English dress and cloakmakers complain
greatly at the business and exactness Of their
American clients, who are used to we'll fitting
garments, and who insist upon having them
when they pay good price for the articles.
The 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 one,
l remember. to an American lady which was
three inches longer in front than it was at the
back. So the lady refused to take it, and con-
siderable unpleasantness was the result Well
dressed, one half Of the young English women
that one sees would be flesh and-blood
Venuses AS it is, they are merely the COM
about their appearance Now and then one
sees a face so fresh, so fair. so charming in its
blooming youth and innocent candor, that it is
loving in spite Of combed- back hair and hor-
rible bonnet But it must be very lovely to
stand such test, and not one in a thousand can
do 50.
A Good Waiting Suit.
elsie thread is a somewhat new departure
for underwear" says Clara Belle in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, land 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 healthy friction.
81 shall be able to waltz for hours this
summer said frivolous young thing, where
last summer I could only keep it up for
minutes'''
How is that?' asked
"'You've heard OF Springfield Jack!
There was something or other about his shoes,
much as to make him wonderful runner.
Well, consider me mechanically improved all
over in that kind of way. Pye got on an elias
tic eelskin sort of combination suit 1t keeps
me at 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 be q

Night Gowns
The prevailing styles for nightgowns are
the sacque shapes with yokes of lace or en-
broidery. A novelty is a night robe of fine
India linen, with Vatican plat in the back,
which has dennis train, the entire front Of
rich Florentine lace edging in cascades down
the center and in double quilting around the
bottom. Linen lawn is much used with real
lace for handsome gowns, made up with what
are termed Pompadour yokes. The Mother
Hubbard gown model borrowed from the
chlldren's dress of that Eame-is another style.
On the more expensive robes there is wealth

Household Hints.
A nice way to cook piece Of the round of beef
ITO line 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
bos away add more. so that plenty will be left for
gravy. Season highly with SALT pepper, celery salt
or curry. and some small onions sliced.
New potatoes cooked in this way make dainty
breakfast dish: Put lump of butter in frying
pan, stir in with it as it softens tablespoonful Of
-four, small onion chopped tine, and little pars-
ley; lastly, small CUP of sweet cream. Stir until
these are we'll mixed, then put in the cold boiled
potatoes. cut in small pieces Let all boil together
Serve hot
So many of the small fruits such as blackberries
pums. etc, are delicious picked that general rule
pounds of fruit allow two pounds Of sugar. one
quart of vinegar, and spices to your taste. Cassia
buds make very delicate favor. but are somewhat
expensive when compared with other spices.
An tndigestible but delicious frosting for cake
of one layer is made Of boiled frosting. with En-
gsh walnut meats, raisns, and very little citron
added; chop these and stir in: have it about an
inch think on the cake, and pin paper around the
cake that the frosting will not off before it
has time to cool.
Mead, which is enjoyed by many as summer
drink, is made Of one pound and half of white
sugar. with one pint and half of boiling water
poured it: add eighth of pound Of tartaric
acid and half an ounce of sassafras. Bottle this,
and when you use it, to each glass add pinch Of
soda
Tomato soup with beef stock instead Of milk is
very appetzing; to one quart of stock allow one
pint and halt of stewed tomatoes which YOU have
sweetned and sailed to your taste: add an onion
sliced, which may be removed before. serving tho
soup Let the soup simmer gently and not boil
hard.
An excellent pudding is made of tart apples
stewed and then put in layers with fine cracker or
hroo Wh1la
sugar and little butter with them. This should
be baked for half an hour. little sweet cream is
great addition, but 1t IS good without any sauce"
If your tomato vines hang very full o. green TO-
matoes, few may be picked and picked, and those
which are left will grow and ripeu more rapidly:
These green ones will make excellent pickles, and
are nice canned for use next spring. They are 80
