To this end she spriukled cowage, al irri-
tating substance, between the sheets and
awaited developments. They came in
manner to take her breath away. She left
the house early Saturday morning, aud the
young husband, left alone by himself, fell
IA with couple of chums a. the club. aud
by noon was in a condition calling loudly
for sleep. So, hurrying back TO the fiat, he
tumbled into bed, giving the janitor's
daughter orders to call him in time for the
evening train, and, not wishing 10 have his
wife learn of his noisy little luncheon at the
club, he stood by and watched the girl
make up the bed, taking care that she
rearranged the pillow-shams and counter
pane exactly as his wife had left them.
Imagine the wife's astonishment and per-
plexity upon her husbands arrival that
evening to hear him complain OF an itching
sensation on his hands aud face and TO OBJ
serve unmistakable evidence of irritation
from cowage on his skin, and upon her re-
turn to town on Monday morning. imagine,
if you can, her horror at observing faint
but unmistakahle traces OF the same irrita-
ton on the hands and face OF the ianitor's

short, there was a scene, terrible scene.

"a Lady Reader" says the New York
Tribune, also asks for recipe for picked
up Goldfish with cream saucs. Any rule for
this simple dish must begin with para,
phrase on Mrs. Glass famous recipe for
cooking hare: First. catch your codfish.n
There IS probably no fish so much and so
often aduIterated as this plebean stock. Ii
has apparently been the habit of Goldfish
packers of late TO put up everything that
swan into their nets as Goldfish, whether
proper food for the table or not. The best
way to buy Goldfish is either
whole or in largo pieces that show
the size of the fish, and from a
thoroughly trustworthy dealer Having
thus secured your fish, pick 1t up carefully
in fakes. A pint bowl full is sufficient to
prepare for a small family. Now proceed
to wash it. Rub it and wiring it out care
fully from ono water to another until it has
been through seven waters. This success.
fully removes oil salt, and less will hardly
do it. After draining all the water from
the fish put it into pan, with boiling water
enough to cover it. Let it come slowly TO
the boiling point, and pour the water off

same two beaten eggs and stir it thoroughly.
If you wish to serve 1t on toast brown three
slices of lread, moisten them with little

The mos. noticeable change the autumn
dress will impress upon You Is its more
respectful attitu1e toward the underskirt
For so ne time past the underskirt has not

polite society, but it is recognized now-and
trimmed. This recognition has a meaning;
IL means that the train has attached itself
to the street dress TO stay. Consider, it is the
overdress that is long. The sweeping back
breadth must frequently be lifted, it must
always be lifted when a woman is out of
doors. This means that the underdress
must be handsome enough to show.
The uuderdress adjusts itself to the situa-
ton with a care which indicates that the ar
rangement is expected TO be more tnan
temporary. It is not Too long, for it can
not expect to be lifted also 1t clears the
ground. 1t is made usually of the same ma
terial as the outer dress and sometimes it is
adorned with a velvet strip cut IL Van

series of narrow rutIles. II a wool dress is

The craze for flowers that has been in-
creasing with each season has this year be-
come perfect passion. The artistic florists
utilize the very commonest field grasses and
wayside blossoms for decorative purposes.
At garden party in Newport the tennis
net was made gorgeous bya clever arrange
ment Of peoples and wheat which was most
effective. In the statistics Of Horticulture,
collected last year for the first time 10y the
census bureau, the growth shown in the
last decade is most marvellous. There are
,000aestablishments in the United States
engaged in raising plants and flowers" we
find; aud only 300 of these are owned by
women. Surely this is natural trade for
the sex, and it must be very lucrative since
we learn that $40, 100000 is invested in
the industry and that 1.-THE products for
s s9e ooo c ems year were were valued at
flowers at So, 600, 900. 1t would seem that
there was no more appropriate business for
women than one which thus lies at her very
doors and is within her possibilities. IL is
interesting to note the huge percentage paid
when contrasting the capital employed and
the returns. 1t is a pity that educated
women should not go into the business of
production in a field in which they could
easily compete with the stronger sex.
Among the many causes given by the CEN
sus bureau to account for the remarkable
growth of the flower trade is this note
worthy one: "Many towns, ;" we are told,
ARE built up mainly by wcrkingmen, WAC
aim to own their homes and beautifY them. -
All is not sordid in business wnen results

One OF the most attractive new fashions
from Paris is the gown of her who wears
the Fourreau skirt. 1t may be made of fawn
summer cloth plaided with broi ze, cut like
the basque in battlements which reveal
bands of gold embroidery which match that
upon the white waistcoat The sleeves,
revers and pocket 1ayels are of bronzs faille,
and the odd little hat is of black crinoline
Frightened by yellow roses and bordered by
an outstanding of gold lace. Another nota-
bic costume is a rather startling blending Of
blue and mauve, one of the coming combina-
tions of the autumn modes The
polonaise is of blue crepon cloth,
caught at the right side by
a mauve ribbon bow. The folds of mauve
silk which cross the bodice are fastened by
gold cord and mauve buttons. The sleeves
are similarly "frogged, and the collar and
the hem of the skirt are braided with gold.
Another new gown is open TO criticism in its
somewhat trying yoke, but except for that
its effect is rather light and pretty. The
fabric is an inexpensive summer material
Of fawn tint, pohka dotted with pink and
trimmed with pink fiobon. The yoke is of
white c[epon cloth, as are also the bands
upon the skirt, sleeves and belt.
