Boutonniere Bibs.

New YORK GrAnhic.

New YORK Graphic.
Among the dainty novelties are boutonniere
bibs for children. They are made of heavy
linen, preferably unbleached as being softer in
tint, and have bunch of fuchsias, marigolds or
other flowers embroidered the left side at just
about the spot where these embryo dudes will
some day wear real boutonnieres. OF course, no
child of any gentility of feeling can resist the ap
peal when asked to don garment of this sort,
much as he might object to being adorned with
more ordinary bib. Thus does gentle woman

An Experts Recipe for Escalloped Oysters.

An Experts recipe IOr EScaIiOpeU oysters.
Philadelphia Press.
Escalloped oysters are too often heavy,
soggy mass of overbaked bread crumbs and
shrveled oysters There is a recipe which
came from the old chef who used to preside over
the preparation of the state dinners for the
Governor general and other government officials
of Canada. Follow it carefully, not fearing to
take them out Of very hot oven at the end of
the ten minutes specified or as soon as the top
browns and you will find escalloped oysters to
be very different dish from the one usually so
called.
Four dozen good-sized oysters are sufficient
for baking dish holding three pints. Drain off
the liquor from the oysters, putting enough
water with it to make one pint let it boil, then
skim carefully. Season with one teaspoonful of
salt, two dusts Ia dust is three shakes of the
pepper-box) of red pepper and two teaspoonfuls
of butter add a half pint of milk and let boil
layer of oysters and then one of finely powdered
cracker crumbs, not more than quarter of an
inch deep, and so on, alternately, until you have
four layers of each, which will fill the dish.
When ready to put into the oven make holes
down into them with your finger or fork and
pour in the boiling liquid a teaspoonful at a
time After all the liquid is in sift over the top
some finely rolled and slfted dried bread crumbs,
and lastly sprinkle over the top few drops of
milk to help it to brown quickly. Put into a
very hot oven long enough to brown over the
top, which ought to require not more than ten
minutes. Fold a napkin cornerwise, pin it
around the dish and serve instantly. If re-
quired for an evening company the oysters and
cracker crumbs may be prepared in the baking
dishes late in the afternoon, and the liquid also
prepared and set one side. When needed in the
evening re-heat the liquid and put on to the
oysters just before putting into oven, as above
directed

colors and are worn with dresses of any color.
The effort to introduce white hose has fallen fat
even white silk stockings are just a little OF

worn they must match the dress-this is lmpera-

Only wee babies are dressed altogether in
white. Girls of two and boys even younger, as

French flannel, which washes as well as calico,
for ordinary occasions, and when pique or lawn

this we have got 10 breed to large, fine well bred

We furnish farmers the same goods we use our.
selves. There will be no discounts made from our

cost Us more than seven thousand dollars and
they are among the finest draft stock in the world
