| followed by mild reaction. 1t may be that
| the dancing man has i languid air about
him and that he doesn't waltz with the same
fervor which he displayed At the height of
the season, but nevertheless he looks upon
the supplemental season as part of the
scheme of gay life which must not be neg
lected.
Some charming ball dresses will be seen
between this and May day. The initial
illustration pictures one of them with great
correctness of detail. 1t is u combination
toilet of pansy surah and nauve velvet
garnitured with silver galloons, and at the
side displays nauve silk gauZe underskirt
with plisse effect, producing an ensemble
of very rich and refined character. The
exact manner in which the galloOn is ap-
piled is SO correctly set forth that one may
form a very good idea of the brilliant result
attained by the use of it.
In the second illustration YOU will find
represented another charming ball costume,
a more elaborate combination even than the
one pictured at the head of this article. 1t
consists of dark green, pale green and
white striped Surah with satin reverS
caught up by old silver buttons and white
tulle drapericS. The tablier is draped over
an undergown of white satin, White satin
ribbon bows are worn as epauletS, and the
ceinture is in antique silver The gloves
are silver gray. The costume is one of
striking beauty and originality, and in re-
SpeCt TO tones Is the perfection OF harmony.
Those who havan't given a small dance 10
mark the close of the Lenten season make
up for it by an afternoon tea-a most mys-
tifving and altogether misleading term this
afternoon tea" One goes in q p4iu
street dress expecting to find many in the
same unpretentious garb, when, 10, one
comes face to face with hundred or more
fashionable ladies airing their Easter bon
nets and wearing lovely combinations of
silk and velvet or cloth and velvet, heavily
embroidered, or long jackets in light blue
cloth and dark blue velvet, opening upon
a T-shaped plastron of ivory faille, framed
with Il band of feather trimming which
rises at the back like Medici collar
At such an afternoon reception on Easter
Monday, the lady of the house wore IL
superb silver gray velvet sheath skirt demi-
train sleeves very tight below the elbows
and very bouffant above, neck cut out
round and completely framed with volant
of pale blue gauZe. making up a most
picturesque and distinguished bit of house
attire.
In the third illustration l set before YOU
an elegant interior dress seen at a swell
evening reception up town last week, worn
by the mamma of the debutante 1t was
also silver gray velvet combined with
white pongee silk, embroidered with silver
designs The plisse collarette was in white
lace, and the front drapery was garnitured
with deep silver fringe, while broad

gold, was applied as represented,
resulting in an ensemble of great

cup cocoanut, one heaping teaspoon baking
powder, seasoning Us preferred.
Coffee ielly-Soak half box of gelatine
half an hour in cup OF cold water. Have
quart of clear strong coffee boiling hot,
add the soaked gelatine and cup of sugar,
stir until the gelatine is dissolved and
strain through flannel bag into mould.
Serve with cream and sugar
Oyster Soup.-One quart of oysters, one
quart of milk, one-half cup of butter, one
half cup of powdered crackers. When milk
boils add butter, crackers and oyster liquor
(Which has been boiled and Skimmed), then
pepper and salt to taste, and finally the
oysters. Cook three minutes longer and
serve. May also season with celery salt, or
teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce.
Potatoes a Ia lyonnaise-These potatoes
are quite famous for their excellence. Cut
eight potatoes, boiled, into round slices
lay them into u frying pan with one and a
half ounces of butter and the round slices
of previously fried onion, and season with
one-half pinch each of salt and pepper.
Cook well together for six minutes until
well Drowned; toss them well, and serve
with pinch of chopped parsley Sprinkled
over the whole.

milk and flour enough to make a very thin

Lemon marnalade-SiN lemons sliced
very thin, taking out the seeds. To each
pound of sliced fruit add three pints of cold
water: let this stand twenty-four hours.
Then boil it until the chips are tender, pour
into an earthen bowl and allow it to remain
until next day. Then weigh ii, and 10
every pound of boiled fruit add one and u
half pounds of loaf sugar. Boil together
until the syrup jellies, and the chips trans
parent. In taking out the seeds be careful
TO keep all the white pith in, as that goes
toward making syrup.
Potato scones-Bake six large potatoes
or else boil and pare quickly if you are in "a
hurry. Mash them until they are perfectly
smooth and free from lumps-a fork does
this best. Add little salt, then knead it
out, adding little flour that has been
scalded into paste with boiling water "a
tin cup is Il good thing for this cooking),
which takes away the raw taste of the
-four, very unpleasing in combination with
potato. Roll out the mixture until it is aul
inch thick. \ griddle is the best to bake
OIL and the scenes should be pricked lightly
with fork-this prevents biStering. But
ter them quite not.

Of beads or velvet, narrow ruchins under
the front brim. aud bit of bow at the back.
Flowers are out of place on these.
Fashion plates for the summer represent
the sailor hat as still to be worn, but with
a somewhat wider brim.
Among the new irnportations are lace
jackets both white and black, TO be worn
over light colored summer silks.
The French corsage without darts, save
those in the tight waist-lining, is very gen.
orally adopted for thin summer toilets.
Black lace fiounces are again arranged
over silk skirts that are closely gored on
the front and sides and full at the back.
CWhat is style, II is merely popularity
of the way things are worn or made which
distinguishes one PERSONS clothes from an
others.
White and yellow are charmingly COM
bined upon some of the summer hats and
bounets. and the narcissus and yellow
honeysuckle are very favored blossoms.
All the dress sleeves are very long for
street wear, and all the women who are
blessed with pretty hands wear broad white
cuffs extending three or four inches below
the dress sleeve. Link sleeve buttons are
employed.
To remodel black silk use. black lace
and gold-colored silk for the guimpe or
panel or whatever is desired to refresh the
dress This gives u new effect. especially
if some gold galloon is used, then other
colored silks added as trimmings.
When the cloth or princesse gown is
made up without foundation skirt, with it
are invariably worn sheath petticoats of
surah or tafeta silk matching the color of
the dress. These are closely gored and fin
ished with ruche or triple-pinked frllls
that are made very narrow and placed at
the extreme edge of the hem.
A new fashion introduced at weddings at
St. German de Pres, church in the center
Of the Fanbourg St. German, Paris, is for
each of the friends invited to the ceremony
to bring bouquet of real flowers, which
they place with their card on the
baluStrade of the choir so that the
bride and bridegroom are surrounded with
flowers. The bouquets are about as large
as those worn by bridesmaids, but oval
in shape.

coats-of-arms are used on note sheets as
monograms and initials.

in the illustration. The bodice is softly
draped with volants of English paint forms

the garment. A high color Of plain white
satin completes this extremely dainty dis
habille, which l must admit needs to be
seen to be fully appreciated, so dependent
is it upon the delicacy of the fabrics and
the drapery effects which deity the deft-

produce. 4

If when cooking any kind of dried fruit
boiling water is poured on and let the fruit
simmer it will be much nicer than to use
cold water.

The Danger of Fatigue.

Fatigue should not be treated as light
matter Women often say: 4 am per-
fectly well, only get tired easily" Then
you are not perfectly well. You need rest,
care and possibly medical treatment. Try
the rest first and set your mind free from
worry and restraints. With the rest take
nourishing food. not tonics of necessity. but
instead of waiting until luncheon take a
cup of beef tea during the forenoon: be-
tween luncheon and dinner an egg lemon
ade or glass of milk or cracker. Do not
exact from yourself work which you do not
feel equal to: make it rule to lie down
two hours each afternoon, and go to bed
early. Keep this treatment up for three
months. with all the out-of-door life that
you feel equal to, and you will realize what
rest can do. The tired feeling means that
you need rest; it is as sure an indication as
that clock needs winding when it runs
down. Washington Star. seua6

richness and elegance. Keeping even
pace with the increased beauty of the
afternoon and evening reception dress
season has continued to gain in elaborate
ness of make up and fineness of material,
until now it is undress only in name. Women
should cultivate the negligee more than
they do. Most of us look well in such an
interior garb. and its richness makes it no
longer necessary to apologize for appearing
in it.
