USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE

Crisp lettuce with cream and viu.
gar is very fine. Pure cream does ne,
curdle in the vinegar. Creamy mill
may do very well for tea and cofyon
but does not fill the bill to mix with
acids.

which should generally be in about ,
week. Bunions may be relieved hv

Small fruits such as currants, rasp-
berries and blackberries, are best made
into jam. A combination of these
fruits is good. Raspberries are i'm
proved by adding currants or currant
juice. Currant jam is very nice with
chopped lemon or orange peel cooked
with it. Plums need not be stoned, but
the skins should be pricked with a nee
die; they will then burst and the sugar
can penetrate them.
Strawberry Acid. Dissolve four
ounces of citric acid in half gallon of
water and pour it over two gallons OF
ripe strawberries; let stand a hours
and drain the liquor off; to every pint
OF juice add pound and half of loaf
sugar, bell it ten minutes; let stand
three days and bottle; put a tablespoon
full of the acid in lumber of the ice

Notes and Suggestions in Which the Fair
Sex Is Interested.

The accordion-plaited skirt is pro-
nounced the most satisfactory undraped
skirt yet devised. Machine-futed and
well-pressed, certain fabrics will stay
in place as long as they are worn. 1t
is mistake, however, to try to plat
heavy twilled fabrics and again success
rarely attends the attempt to make up
cashmere or surah silk after this fash.
ion. The best materials for the fluting
machine are thin foulards, tatfetas,
and silk muslin. Chantilly lace among
the meshed fabrics keeps the plaits
tenaciously, but nets of cotton or thread
absolutely refuse to lend themselves to
any such manipulation. Gathering
these accordion plated skirts closely
two or three inches from the belt helps
to regulate the fullnoss and keeps the
flutes in place. If the bodice has
basque this gathering is readily con.
cealed. II a jacket bodice accompanies
it the blouse must be cut long enough
to cover it up. With the Figaro vest,
which is cut above the waist line all
around, a broad, soft sash is wound low
about the hips, the ends falling in
scarf-fashion to the hem OF the skirt
behind. The addition of a sash is al
ways desirable with these skirts, as it
hides the disarrangement OF the plaits
at the back, which inevitably follows
two or three sittings of the wearer.
Among fresh morning costumes ac-
contemplated skirts of gray checked
or striped foulards with loose blouses
of the same are extremely stylish. A
broad. handsome belt of leather con-
fines the blouse at the waist and tie OF
bright silk is at the low-cut neck.
Simple walking-dresses of fine wool de-
laine have these accordion skirts, too,
and the basques and vest that go with
them are elaborately braided in YER
mlcelli pattern with the narrowest
soutache braid. A chocolate-b
costume of this description has the
braiding in gold, and pure French
gray sprigged with moss-green has the
same decoration wrought in mixed
braid of green and silver.
A coat cut off short in front and at
the sides, the back being all in one
with two straight breadths hanging
over the skirt at the back, is the favor

have narrow scrollwork in black out
lining them. This is very effective
