Miss Pauline Hall is said to be a capital
cook. and Mise Isabelle Urquhsrt can order

meat, watery vegetables, sloppy coffee and
bad bread, in many cases compel a resort to
stimulants. With such conditions, why

thirst for lager beer. and there is terrible
affinity between sour bread and sour mash

AJapanese lady residing in Toxic, and
quite ignorant Of the dreas of European
ladies, desired TO array herself IN PRrisian
attire. She was a lady of high degree, and
she pressed into her service n member Of the
French Legation, who undertook to procure
for her from Paris n complete outft-Rn
edition, in fact. OF 1.-The Seen and the I'm
seem" Promptly he did her bidding, and
there arrived from the Rue de Rivoli a mys-
tic box full Of weird things, carefully ar
ranged. AS per request, in the Order, when
the box was upside-down. in which they
should be put on-the dress OIL the top and
the rest below. The upside-down arrange
ment was, somehow, misunderstood. The
lady put on the dress first and the other
things as they came; and, arrayed In a SYM
phony Of lace and batiste. she drove to the
French Embassy TO thank her friend for his
gallant attention. The poor gentleman is
said to have been i'll for some time after.

Here IL Mrs. Osborn's recipe for cream
oysters: Drain oil the liquor from one quart
of oysters and put II on the stove to heat.
Skim il and add q small piece of butter, n
cup OF cream and pepper to taste. When IL

them until the edges begin To curl. Stir In
q tablespoonful of fiour which has been
mixed smooth with n little milk. Add salt

Many Of the dressy grenadine toilets are
made up in combination with tartan surahs,
and en- suite are black chip or Neapolitan
hats. trimmed with scarfs OF plated tulle in
similar color combinations. A plaided silk
parasol 10 frequently added, but a black lace
one IN in better taste. Blue md green
plaided surah shirt waists, and oak aud
olive, cream and brown plaid ones are very
popular in negligc dresa. In lighter cOlors,
white ana cream and robin's-egg blue. pink
and primrose, and gray and ciel-blue checks
are worn, but there are more striped than

ionable watering places. Prettier than most
of the colored blouses are those made simply
OF fine India or China silk in cream-white,
with u deeply pointed yoke at the back
stitched on flatly, straight shirt-sleeyes, .
scalloped b%utIonhole, stitched turn-down
collar and deep cuffs stitched at the edges.
These are cool and lady-like looking. and
can be worn with skirts OF any color or
kind.
