Fashions Freaks.

Evening bodices are cut pointed and
very low, both back and front, or they
are cut round, and the folds crossed in
the old .'Grecian" fashion.
Italian braids are embroidered in
Kensington stitch, with bright colored
silks, Tor house dresses. e-f.Fr. 3. I.
Instead of the time-honored orange
flower wreath, brides now wear the veil
fastened with several large diamond or
Rhine crystal pins, the orange flowers
forming bouquets wherewith to loop the
draperies, or adorn the corsage only.
The general tendency toward more
simple style of making up costumes,
which has been noted for some time
back, is more marked than ever.
A rough braid, tufted like Astrakhan
cloth, and about two inches in width, is
used for trimming the new rough-sur-
faced suitings this winter.
There is decided effort to revive the
use of old chantilly lace, and new pat
terms are shownin deslgnsfor flounces to
black silk and satin dresses and trim
mings for costly wraps and bonnets.
Very long-wristed gloves of cashmere
or Austrian wool, with ribbed tops like
the Jersey cuff, appears in all the dark
street shades, to match the costume.

The German at Mrs. j. b. KimbalPs.
A notable event in a quiet way was
the German given at the residence of
Mrs. John B. Kimball on New Years
night Thirteen couples had been in
vited, but one was detained through
some cause. The German was not inter
rupted by this event, however, and the
enjoyable figures and the distribution
of favors were gone through to the
great enjoyment of all present. There
we're thirteen sets of elegant favors, and
two prize favors; one of the latter,
gold tie pin, was carried off by Mr.. Shell
ton; and the other, beautiful white
satin fan, became the property of Mrs
Dr. Potter. There were present: Mrs.
Barnett, Mrs. Potter, Misses H. Hark-
ness, R. Daft, B. Kinball, N, Conklin,
l.. Barnes, J. Sprague, n Sadler, L.
Miles, DR.. Potter, Lieutenants Atkinson,
Taggart, Beckurts and .Dentler,
Messrs. Henry, Brastow, Dodge, Shell
ton, Sharp, Zane, Murray and Hall.
The entire affair was very brilliant and
enjoyable, and was kept going into the
small hours.

A Young woman who Has a sun.

An occasional parsonage in society is
the young woman who does not in the
leastcare for the eompanionship of other
women. To her. an afternoon tea
or a then luneh'' is like soup, without
salt. 1t does not at all matter that the
women may be bright and clever, leaders
of fashion ernotables in gqrldly,way !;
after all they are but women, and all
the bright talk, all the ready SMILES, all
the grace and charm ofqmanner that
are current coin at such gatherings, are
but awful wastes of raw material. If
she is a person lacking in refinement
she does not nearly disguise her impa-
tience, her, absolute WEAKNESS; her con-
vichong that hours spent with them are
lost. And even if she is tactful it is
often apparent that her mode and man
ner intend gracious patronage, and the
gentle endurance of q boredom she can
not escape. When the men come in it
is like the lighting of a theatre by cleo
tricity. All the dimly guessed at femi-
nine attractions fash into view. There
are smiles, laughter comes readily, re-
partee is quick, archness mostarch. To
this young woman the man is as glass
of champagne. He is literally and fig
urately the sun of her existence.

Eggs as Food

Mrs. Lincoln recently delivered q
lecture in Boston on easily prepared
bres kfast dishes. In reference to
eggs, of which nearly everyone is
fond, she says:
Whatever else you may economlze
in, do not limit your family IN respect
to eggs Theyare nutritious, ana even
at 4 cents apiece, are cheaper than
meat. They should be used freely
by ali except those who know they
cannot digest them Using freely
does not mean their unnecessary or
extravagant use in rich cakes, Gus
tards, ETC., nor IL the indIgestible
form of boiling, baking, omelets, plain
cake. and other wholesome combina-
tons. IL is very poor economy,
especially for those who keep hens, to
substitute c9rned beef or salt fish for
eggs. or to use soda and cream Of
tartar as a substitute for eggs in sponge
cake, or half-cooked flour IN an
omelet. They may be served il an
unlimited variety Of styles, are
especially suitable for breakfast or
lunch, attractive as a garnish, and,
when combined with sugar and milk,
make the most healthful buildings,
desserts, or tea dishes. But, though
they are.
A PERFECT TYPE OF FOOD,
eggs are not intended TO be eaten ex~
clusively, any more than other foods.
They are one Of the most highly con-
centrated forms of food, and, being
wholly destitute of starch, should be
eeten with bread or rice. The white
Of an egg has but trace OF fat in it,
and requires the addition of butter,
milk, or fat meat, like bacon or ham.
The white OF an egg contains water,
mineral ingredients, and soluble al
bumen; the yolk has, in addition TO
these, oil and sulphur. The albumon

him very deaf, and no medical skill
was able to restore his hearing. The
affliction compelled him to give up
his chosen profession, and he went
West very much broken down in
spirits. For ten years he has been
farming, culhvaung about 200 acres
of prairie land. and, as he expressed
it, making a good living, and sailing
down something every year. and
he declares that if, knowing what he
now knows, he was to begin his active
life over again, he would do just as
he was compelled to do so unwillingly
ten years ago; flat is, he would
throw aside his profession and settle
down upon farm. Said he, there
isn't much glory on a farm, but you
get a good sure living. You are your
own master; you can't be starved or
turned out of business; and as far as
the work is concerned in these days
of horse power, a man needn't kill

is inclosed in layers of thin-walled
cells. When beaten, these wall break,
and the albumen, owing to its glutin.
GUS nature, catches and holds the air,
and increases to many times Its orig
inal bulk. 1t is not well to use an egg
until il has been laid ten hours. as
the white does not become set or
thick until then, and cannot be beaten
stiff. Eggs for poachiug or boiling,
are best when 36hours old. Albumen,
when heated, becomes a dense solid !;
If mixed and heated with a LIQUID, 1t
hardens and entangles in its meshes
any solids or impurities in the LIQUID
and rises to the surface with them as
scum, or precipitateS them Ii is
thus the white of egg clears soups,
lellies and coffee. Strong acids, cor
rosive Sublimate, and creosote, will
coagulate albumen; and therefore, il
any of these poisons be taken into the
system, the white of an egg swallowed
quickly will combine with the poison
and protect the stomach. It's doubt
full if many persons except those
specially interested in chemical
studies, have ever stopped to consider
why it was that in so many cases Of
swallowing certain poisons, the
swallowing of the white Of an egg
should be recommended as a prevent
i've of fatal results.
1t is perhaps needless to say that
the anhdote must be given very
quickly, almost Immediately, else It
win be of no avail The shell of
newly laid eggs are almost full; but
as the shells are porous, on exposure
to air the water inside evaporates,
and the eggs grow lighter, while air
rushes IN to take the place Of the
water, and causes the heterogeneous
elements to decompose, and the eggs
soon spoil. Tins explains why good
egg is heavy, and will sink in water,
and why a stale egg is lighter, and q
rafting or gurgling sound, and floats
in water Anything which will fill
up the pores and thus exclude the air,
when applied TO perfectly fresh eggs,
will preserve them indefinitely; a
coating of liquid fat or gum, or a
packing in bran and salt, with the
small end down, is efrectual. Eggs
should always
BE KEPT IN A COLD DARK PLACE,
and handled very carefully, as any
rough motion may cause the white
and the yolk TO become mixed, by
rupturing the membranee which
separates them, and then the egg
spoils quickly. Never buy eggs about
the freshness Of which you have any
doubt, not even in winter. Eggs must
be entirely above and beyond suspic-
ion You can easily judge for your
self which is the best economy, to pay
25 or 30 cents a dozen for your eggs,
and FIND none of them full and fresh,
and perhaps half of them really decay
ed, or to pay 80 cents, and obtain
them freshly laid, not merely freshly
from the country-that alone will not
do, unless you can be assured that
they are genuinely new. In this way
every egg in the dozen will be sound
and good, and will be worth using q:
an article of diet
In our next issue we will give some
of Mrs. Lncoln's various ways Of
cooking eggs.
