them again, it was still there lowering

the cornice to hang pictures on. The cell

least bit of pink mixed with the white

such a one as is here suggested, about the
edges, is charming and gives most refined
air to the room.

work with a neutral tint of brown that
will harmonize but not match; treat the
walls in the same way, as to moldlng and

of the kitchen and bath room need only
painting. Either chrome-yellow or light
olive is good for the kitchen as neither

Soapless hands build the little charcoal fire
and handle the so-called roasted fruit. A
pocketknife used for cutting tobacco makes
the cross incision on the outer skin, and
when innocence buys the fruit and wonders
how the nuts became impregnated with the
flavor of salt mackerel, he never fancies
that the vender has cooked his breakfast in
the dish in which he cooked his wares.
Notwithstanding these minor drawbacks.
which may be overcome by not patroniz-
Ing street-venders, the American sweet
chestnut presents many delightful culinary
possibilities which should be better known.
They are smaller than the coarse European
chestnut, and for this reason are more
troublesome to prepare for the table; but
they are so superior in quality and favor
that they are much to be preferred.
To begin with, either variety of the
chestnut, when reduced to -four, NAV be
converted into bread, cakes, puddings,
dumplings, ice cream, coDserves, puree for
soup, stufing, and hundred other tempt
ing forms. Whole, they are made into
bon-bons, glaces, etc. Boiled in beef broth
they may be served as a vegetable separ-
ately, or as garnish to meat, poultry,
game, etc.
As cold weather approaches, perhaps the
American housewife may be more inter-
esteu IN showing now TO prepare chestnut
stufing for poultry, milk pigs, fresh hams,
etc, than other more pretentious proouct:.
Here is the formula: Roast pint of chest
nuts and peel off the outer and inner skin;
weigh them and simmer half pound of
them for 20 minutes in as much veal gravy
as will cover them; drain and let them cool;
then pound them in q mortar with four
ounces of butter, three ounces Of bread
crumbs, a trife of grated lemon peel, and
powdered mace, salt and a pinch of cayenne;
bind the mixture with the yolks of three
eggs.
When deviled almonds cannot be had for
dessert, the chestnut thus prepared is an
admirable substitute. Peel the raw chest
nuts and scald them to remove the outer
skin: put them in frying pan with little
butter and toss the.n about few moments
add sprinkle of salt and suspension of

straight around your waist as the belt tape
does. That puts the warp perpendicular
and gives almost perfect bias on the seams
in the back. Look at your back forms
You cut them, did you not, out of any piece
that was big enough? In each the threads
run differently, and all ways but the right
one.
''Then in fitting you gave no thought to
symmetry or proportion. Like these dress
makers, in fine, you took in your seams in
any way that promised to make a smooth,
tight fit. By consequence, your back forms
are hardly an inch wide in the armhole. In
a well cut bodice they are as wide there as at
the waist line. The swell of bust and shoul-
ders is accommodated by the back and front
figures.
"When stuff is cut on the cross you should
be as careful to have true bias around the
waist, and up the fronts and the back seams.
Another thing, if you want your gown to
sit smooth over the shoulder, before basting
it up stretch each front piece as much as
as you can half way from the neck to
the arm-hole, and hold the back full to it
for the same distance. Never mind the ap-
parent pucker. Pressing will Danish it and

down the front, with rounded corners, like
a mans cutaway coat. 1t may have revers,
and one button and button-hole, though
there is more beauty when the outline falls
in a straight line from the neck The
shoulders and under-arm seams are sewed
over onto the back in the welt. Line the
Jacket with silk Of the same color and in
terline for winter. Put one row of stitching
round the edge Of the jacket
Make the sleeves loose at the shoul-
ders where they join the coat. In cutting
them see that the cloth of both upper and
under sides runs straight at the hand and
bias at the top. This is an important point
which even reputable dressmakers often
overlook. On the texture being diagonal
depends the beauty of the full, gathered
top, which top continues to be made. Do
not exaggerate the fullness or you will vul-
garize the garment. Finish the wrist with
q blind hem. A Fifth avenue model has
the wrist Tapped over and furnished with
three buttons
Important About the Vest.
The velvet vest is slightly pointed, and
extends five inches below the waist. It is
fitted with darts and q seam down the mid
die of the front, and opens along the line of
the first left dart. All these seams are
turned open underneath, and there is row
of stitching close to each side of the seam,
which gives the vest look of having been

A SALAD MADE OF APPLKA
The Achievement Of Staten Island Woman
in the Way OF Novelty.

Tho Achievement OF q Staten Island Woman
in the Way OF Novelty.
Something new for the table is contributed
by Hattie Wilton. She got it from Staten
Island woman, as she says below: A few
days ago clever woman gave goodby
luncheon at her country home in Staten
Island before she closed it for her return to
the city. Now, this woman has never quite
invented q new animal or Q new fruit, but
she has invented new methods Of using
these things which as nearly approach orig
inal creation as even that clever woman will
ever come.
The last achievement was offered at her
good-by luncheon. 1t was an apple salad,
and this is how she made it: She used for
the basis solid tart apples, pared and cut
into small bits With this she mixed an
equal quantity of celery, cut in bits of the
same size. After thoroughly mixing, she
dressed them in the salad bowl with
simple mayonnaise made as follows: Into
the yolk of one egg previously beaten,
sufficient quantity of salad oil was slowly
dropped to make thick cream, which was
then thinned to the proper consistency by
vinegar, added as carefully. Add pepper
and salt to taste, and the msyonnaise was
ready to dress the salad.

and stitched down on the outside, as are the
side seams of the jacket. It is closed in the
front side seam, with three buttons and but
tonholes, which are hidden by the Jacket,
Hem it at bottom with blind stitch.
This gown is entirely without trimming,
and its plainness is the great feature of its
style. If you add to the gown coque's 5
feather boa and a rimless turban of felt,
having roll of velvet about its edge, knot
ted in front, and some loops, or wings be-
hind, you will have a costume which for
style will not be exceeded through the
whole winter
The skirt must be demi-train, with a very
full back. The undersk;rt, however, clears
the ground. 1t is separate from the outside
skirt, except at the belt, and this is to be
noted, as 1t is the sign of the radical
change in the character of skirts. Many
dressmakers use taffeta silk for the under
skirt and, rufling il, make it serve for q

fairly makes one happy to see the rough
cheviots and tweeds of North Britain

dor of Cashmere. The vigor of Scotland
appears in them, mingled with the fire Of

Their colors are rich, yet low toned and
harmonious; an artists brush seems to have

Very Pleasing Color Effects.
They have, for the most part, grounds in
stripes, or broken spaces, of natural brown
and gray, which being of the same tone,
that is to say, without contrast of light and
dark, make artistic backgrounds for narrow
lines of pure color, and fakv dots of many
hues, which all combine into an agreeable
color composition. The way these grounds
are keyed in hue to orange, or to red, or to
whatever colors arr: spread over them, so
that instead Of being crude they are glow
ing, makes one take heart to believe that we
moderns are not, after all, quite color blind.

terials it is that there are too many eccentric
