NOVELTIES FOR THE TABLE.
Little walters OF polished brass or cop
per are used instead of silver.
Finger glasses of heavy cut crystal are
now used in preference to any others.
Center-pieces of beautiful Venetian glass
have mirror at the base, surrounded with
flowers in Venetian glass work.
Champagne glasses in the fashionable
heavy cut-glass are no longer in the saucer
pattern, but are rather slender and as high
as an ordinary tumbler-
Not only are the plates of the various
courses different, but, if possible, it is con-
sidered desirable TO have each Individual
plate of dozen as unlike the others as pos
sible.
Few vegetable dishes are used, as the
courses are served a la Russo with the veg
etable on the dish as a garniture to the
meat, game or entree. II, however, they
are served separately, the dishes are OF por-
celain set in silver stands.
Since fashion, in an arbitrary way, die
tates that cheese should be eaten with
knife, these silver tools are made broader
of blade than formerly, and have no sharp
edge with which to endanger the mouth.
Very stylish and very elegant and ex-
pensive are the silver platters which are
used more and more by those who can
afford such luxuries. Meat, game, in fact,
everything but fish, is served in these
dishes.
Dinner cards of the most recherche de-
scription have the name Of the guest paint
ed in gilt on natural leaves. Those of the
rubber plant and of the English ivy are
most used for this purpose.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

tablespoonful of grated chocolate, two OF
water and place over the fire to melt.
| Then add one and one-half teacups of wa
ter or milk; when boiling. stir in enough
-four to make little thicker than gravy.
Remove from fire, and when cool add one
beaten egg and two tablespoonfuls of sugar.

with vanilla.

sifted floor enough to make thick batter,
and salt Remove your roast from the
oven when nearly done, pour the gravy
| from the pan into q saucepan; set in your
meat stand and place the meat 50 it will
drip on the pudding. Twenty minutes
will cook it; have good hot oven. This
pudding may be made with less eggs and
still be good.
Rolled apple dumplings are a novelty,
and are delicious Peel and chop fine some
| tart apples; make rich crust as for bis
cult, roll it half an inch thick, spread it
thickly with the apple, sprinkle fine sugar
and powdered cinnamon over it, then cut
it in strips two inches wide; roll it up
Just as you do Jelly roll; put little lump
of butter on each roll after it is put in the
tin or dripping pan; a little juice will
drain from the apples if they are good
ones; keep this to put into the sauce !;
make plain sour pudding sauce.

net work can be made as follows Half a

fore using. A little to be enolied with a
soft linen pad, and lightly rubbed for a
minute over the article to be polished.
The aromatic vinegar sold by perfumers
is remarkably eficacious in removing the
odor of chemicals from the hands Organic
bodies like valerianic acid, for instance,
are either removed, or else have their dis
agreeable odors completely disguised, by
rinsing the hands with few drops Of this
preparation.
