LOYAL W0MAN'S WORK
The Household --FaShiOnS---ConVe
SatiOn Club.

The making of salads Is an accomplishment
which every young lady should master early.
The good housekeeper is supposed to be well
up in the art as matter Of course. But even
the housekeeper can afford TO be reminded that
nothing is more conducive TO health, and GER
fainly to the pleasures of the table. than in the
free use, particularly in the Spring time, oil
these crisp appetizing dishes.
Under the head of salads come all green vege-
tables which are eaten raw and which may be
dressed with oils, acids, salt and pepper. In
this class we find potatoes, string beans. beets,
asparagus, caulifiower, lettuce, crosses celery,
and many other vegetables some of which are
first cooked and others cut or minced. These
must all be dressed plain, but most varieties are
better combined with oysters salmon, lobster,
cooked fish, eggs. chicken or other delicate
meats. Pure olive oil is essential TO perfect
salad, but as SO many inferior limitations are now
used which have strong, rancid taste, fresh
sweet butter, slowly melted, forms an excellent
substitute.
As lettuce is the most seasonable now of green
vegetables eaten raw, we give the recipes for
both French and boiled dressing either of
which is very nice for those who like some
thing better than sugar, salt and vinegar with,
perhaps, few spoonfuls of rich cream added.

saltspoonful of pepper, three tabespoonfuls OF
oil, oneiourth of tcaspoonful of onion Juice Tor

SPRING FASHIONS.
Buttons are features on Spring costumes
Lace frocks will be worn more than ever.
Cutaway short jackets are seen on dressy
street costumes.
The bow Of ribbon on the side of the neck
instead of in front is fancy of the moment.
Ashes of roses is again in favor, and many
changeabe silks are shot with rose and ash gray.
Scarfs in Oriental colors and designs illumin-
ated with gold thread, form the trimmings of
many hats and bonnets.
Grown. beige, dull blue, ashes of roses cream
white, faun, and tan or coachman's colors are
in favor for taiior-made suits.
Tucked skirts, the tucks overlapping one the
other, sometimes in clusters sometimes gradu-
ated. seem to be taking the place of founces.

little on one side Of the high couture. some
times directly on top, is the latest caprice for
the hair.
Dressy parasols are ornamented with ribbons
tied around the handle and top formed into
pretty Topped bows, and one gore Of the cover
is similarly decorated.
Sleeves OF lace and muslin frocks, and, in
fact, of all Summer dresses made of sheer IA
brics, are full in the armhole with all the full

shouldered effect.
The new black lace dresses are made, for the
most part, of the new machine laces, and are
worn over slips or bodices and skirts of benga-
line or Irish poplin, black or colored.
Long loops and floating ends of wide moire or
velvet ribbons, or scarfs of silks cut from the
piece are frequently attached to the very short
postillion backs of bodices to form the only back
drapery falling over full pleated gathered and
shirred or Eounced skirts.

THE EsTHErIcs OF SLANG.
FRIEEDs OF THE CLUB
Since Weatli" and 4" Education
To Slang have given place,
ask for your attention
And just a little space
Let us use no Slang girls,
Mhate'er the boys may do;
'Tis neither nice modest,
il Will not help S through.
Let's pledge every one, girls,
Nov, boys, your aid we seek,)
To end the reign supreme of Slang,
And good, pure English speak.

THE WEEDS OF WORDS.
FRIESEs OF THE CLUB: Slang words and phrases
arc those inelegant expressions which are con-
SANITY springing up. ard may be considered by
some as weeds among the fop ers of words 4 re-
lined and cultivated ear cannot tolerate anything
winch sayoTs OF slang. IL IS simply horrible |
don't yon know" Yet the of slang should not
be too freely condemned Slang words often ex-
press what ne wish TO say IN such iorcibe and en-
phatic language that the idea 10 be conveyed is
conveyed very forcibiy. while the same idea ex- |
pressed in an elegant mild. correc. fern. gives |
scarcely any impression.
