ones also, where the bodice and skirt are
cut in one, or are sewn together, as many

inside a wild duck; lemon kept there for
forty eight hours will remove all the
strong taste often so unpleasant in wild
fowl. The lemon should be changed every
twelve hours To flavor and make tender
joint of roast beef, and to give variety to
the family table, where beef Is the usual
meat eaten, nothing more is required than
large lemon: cut it in two pieces, squeeze
all the juice upon the meat, then, after
peeling the lemon. roll it up in the joint
cribs of beef, etc.. When the lemon is
used no water is required. The joint
should be a fat piece of meat to insure
good gravy, the lemon acid removing the
oily taste sometimes objected to.

The most curious innovation this season is
that many punches of flowers are thrown
