Cooking for the Sick on...

A lady physician writes THE DISPATCH
as follows:
There should be in every house pair of
small porcelain-lined kettles sacredly kept
for sickroom cookery. While a broth
might be made in the Cruel kettle, a delicate
porridge would take to itself the slightest
of meat favors and odors. The burning
down" of food and the chipping of the
lining, accidents which sooner or later befall
kettles in constant use, make them wholly
unfit for sickroom service. A fresh rinsing
with boiling water Immediately at the
moment of rinsing should always be given.
The rims, balls and ears Of these kettles
should receive the closest of scrutiny; the
brush should be vigorously applied at every
washing, and the drying cloth be immacu-
late. In a fine house, where the crystal and
silver shone like sunshine, I once saw gray
shred of dishcloth clinging about the ear of
q saucepan in which sago was cooking for a
fastidious invalid.
To make delicate broth use half gallon
of cold water to a pound of meat, which
moved. Bring it to quick boil in order to
throw up the scum. Skim very clean; then
set where it will only barely bubble for
three hours Then strain the broth away
from the meat, which should be found
Cooked to rags" Wash the kettle and
return the broth to it, and add salt deli
catelv, as the taste of person in illness is
usually f~r more sensitive TO seasonings
than when in health. Let it come to the
boiling point and strain again. If the con-
dition of the patient demands it, take off
the fine particles of fat by laying o fresh
blotting paper ora folded napkip upon the
surface tor two or three seconds. Serve in
a warmed bowl
For Cruel bring pint of water to sharp
boil. Meanwhile be stirring two table
spoonfuls of either oat or yellow cornmeal
vigorously in half pint of cold water. Let
this settle for half minute, then dip off
the liquid and add it to the boiling water,
stirring well as you do 1t. Take care that
none of the sol1d particles go in. Add a
very little salt. Boil for ten minutes and
serve hot.

classification Of the new bonnets. One is
for the small capote; the other frames the
face, an effort so becoming to some and so
liked by youthful faces. The first are very
small They are slightly peaked, man.
DARN fashion, little back of the center, or
eelse they are of three fllets of graduated
size, tied together at the back. The second
has for its motive the Tam O'Shanter. Its
crowL is low and fiat and is properly not
crown at all, since it does not set down onto
the head. It is more correctly knot or
center, from which the brim issues and
falls in charming succession of fiops and
flares round the face. The width of the
rim is from 21l to inches, and it narrows
toward the back, where it is usually turned
up against the crown.
These forms in their best estate are ele-
mentary and good. If we sought proto-
types we might fancy for one plantain
leaf with its stem curled up at the back,
and from the other single piece of fabric
tied up in the middle, to make it fall over
and protect the eyes. If only the milliner
would be content If she would not build
them up out of recognition with her picots
and her pompens
The Material of the Bonnets.
Spring will see these shapes made up In
fancy straws of yellow, white, gold and
silver, the importations showing great ex-
cess of such braids over the plain ones At
present the materials are velvet, ribbon,
lace and Jet Jet is on nearly all dress bon

age age of the Al was 40 years" The Dea-
coness House at Stuttgart, after an expert
ence of 25 years states that of 232 sisters,
only 25 have died, and the House at Altoona
established IA years ago and having 56
Sisters, has not been called upon to mourn a
single death. A review in 1876 of 40 years
experience shows that of $40 consecrated
Sisters 41S left the institution for various
reasons Seventy OF them returned to their
parents and 129 were married.
The Dav Nursery on Cayuga avenue,
Germantown, is one of the most interesting
features of the deaconess work in Philadel-
rhia. 1t was opened last year for the care
of children between the ages of four months
and four years whose mothers are obliged
to earn their living away from home. In
fants as young as six weeks are sometimes
received, was told. A fee of 10 cents a
day is charged for each child for whom food,
care and necessary clothing are provided
during the hours of the mothers absence.
The nursery is large, pleasant room, where
1 found, one morning, nine little ones,
ranging in age from six months to six years.
-Four babies, two of them girls, were seated
in high chairs all in a row, while five older
ones, all boys were gathered around a low,
round table.
The Little Folks at Dinner.
AT about 1870 the deaconess in charge,
whom the little ones all address as ''Sister,"
brought up the dinner, which consisted of
cabbage and potatoes for the five little fel-
lows at the table who could help themselves,
and mashed potatoes and eggs for the babies
in the high chairs, followed by corn starch
pudding for all but the youngest, who was
comforted by a nursing bottle OF milk. The
children were, most of them, chubby and
healthy looking, while several had beautiful
eyes and were quite pretty. None of them
understood German, so the deaconess had
to cosx and comfort them in her broken
English.
After eating and drinking to their evident
satisfaction, the youngsters were taken into
the adjoining dressing and bathrooms,
where they were washed and tended by the
motherly hands of the deaconess. A basket
and box full of playthings had been brought
out of the corner for the five older boys,
who, seated around their treasures on the
soft rugs that covered the middle of the
painted floor, were busily enjoying them
selves when I came away after an hours
amused contemplation of their pranks

odist Deaconesses in Philadelphia was un-
dertaken in 1889 by the Women's Home

crown, and is lined with some milliner's
fabric of green. Under its edge are sewed
white lilacs, which fall over and cover the
two larger fillets. AT the back is a knot OF
purple lilacs made by cutting one spray In
two, with bunch of green stems standing
upward, and black satin strings. AT the
front of the small fillet is bunch OF black
tips, with little knot of velvet at its base.
Flowers will be used in profusionsson the
spring bonnets, but an occasional bunch OF
blue violets is about all that is seen of them
yet. Instead of the dropping lilacs on this
bonnet similar effect is produced by over
tapping velvet ribbon ends, doubled and
cut to wedge-like points, as shown in the
drawing.
Midway between the small and the
trimmed bonnet the toque or turban still
holds place. One made of strung jet has
two views of it given. An elegant toque
bonnet imported for spring has its sides
jetted and it is covered with a bed of violets
and leaves

A Comfort to Old Ara.

The following comes to The DISPATCH
from Margaret Ford:
There are few things that give an elderly
woman so much comfort and pleasure as
the possession of q maid of her own; and
whenever the circumstances of 3 family
make it possible it is wise plan to allow
the old mother, grandmother or aunt this
luxury; and sometimes it is wise to do so
even at the cost OF considerable pinching in
other matters.
With age there always comes an amount
to be felt as difficult and almost impossible
efforts, but which with g maid at command
would at once be accomplished and yield
their full amount of pleasure.
This maid runs the desired errand, does
the little shopping. takes on herself the
lifting, the managing, the fetching and
carrying. She reads the daily paper or
the new book, fills the gaps of life where
so many places would be barren and desert
without her; and in doing this she spares
the rest of the family fatigue of many
sorts, both bodily and nervous, meanwhile.
too, sparing her old mistress physical exer-
ton, she prevents much wear and tear, and
so prolongs her life.
Then, too, the maid affords the old mis-
tress a great deal of society; for age is not
so fastidious as youth, and the busy chat
ting that may be heard going on when they
are together shows how useful the Younger
person is in that respect and how much
pleasure she gives. And as age is apt to be
garrulous and in that respect tiresome, this
maid acts as breskwater against any tor
rent of talk for the rest of the household.
1t is not the household, however, but the
old member of it that is to be considered.
and all who are able to do SO, if they try
the experiment, will find that it is fertile in
happiness

sionary Society. The Lucy Webb Hayes

Norwegian and Episcopal Houses.
Through the efforts of the Swedish Nor
wegian Consul in New York, Mr.. G. Bors,
and the Seaman's Missionary in Brooklyn,
Mr.. Carlen Hansen, the first Scandinavian
deaconess house in America was established
In Br00klvn. sister EllZaDeCn feQQe ar
rived here in 1888, forestslling the Phila-
delphia Sisters by one year. In 1885 two
story house was rented and a small hospital
opened. In 1888 81 patients were received,
1,026 visits made among the sick and needy
and the first probationer admitted. Sister
Elizabeth being called away to establish
second Home in Minneapolis, two expert
enced deaconesses arrived from Norway in
the spring of 1889 and took charge of the
work in Brooklyn. A hospital with beds
for SO patients and deaconess house at AL
Fourth avenue have been built at cost of
$4,000. The property is owned bv the Nor
wegian Aid Society, with Consul Bors as its
President. The institution is Lutheran, but
without official connection with any church
body. The Sisters wear the prescribed dress
and have six probationers. They devote
themselves to the care of destitute Norwe-
gians in New York, Brooklyn and vicinity,
together with hospital and Sunday school
work in the institution.
New York and Philadelphia have each an
Episcopal deaconess house, both established
last year. Deaconess Homes. Lutheran,
Methodist and of other denominations, have
also been established in Boston, Syracuse,
Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Omaha, Denver and elsewhere, and the
order seems to be rapidly gaining in num-
bers and influence.

WHALEBoNIEG A BODICE.
A Secret OF tho Dressmaker That Will Re

Secret OF tho Dressmaker That Will Re-
Joice the Woman Who sens
Said one woman to another: "How is 1t
that your gowns never drag and wrinkle at
the waist, nor get shiny along the seams, as
mine do, while they are good otherwise?"
The answer was laconic. cts all in the
bones. Mt one person in fifty knows how
to put them in properly. But therein lies
half the secret of tailor-made elegance. 1t
was my dressmaker who made me so wise.
Her inside finish rose to the rank of high
art. To begin with, she chose soft, firm
Iining-silk or cotton-allowed generous
seams which, after fitting, she cut to uni
form breadth of three-quarters of an inch,
and notched to within a quarter inch of the
seam side. Then they were thickly over
hemmed with fine neat stitches, using silk
thread, the color of the stuff Binding she
voted clumsy and destructive to perfect
ty from the edges.
"Boning, though, was the most difficult
point She would have nothing but the
very best whalebone, which comes in two
yard lengths and is tough and plant. This
she soaked in tepid water for II hours before
putting in. Then you could sew through
and through it at each end, and all along
its length without either breaking a needle,
losing your amiabiIity or splitting the
whalebone. The castings were of silk stay
tape, sewed on quite tull, and held so that
the seam came exactly under the middle of
it. At top a fnger-length was left loose.
Beginning at the back seam she cut bone
long enough to reach from two inches
below the waist-line to the level of the
lower shoulder blades. This was
pushed into the case and sewed through and
through at the bottom. Then pressing it
SO that it took almost crescent shape, she
sewed it through and through at intervals of
two inches, all the way to the top of the
casing Then it was sewed extra fast, leav-
ing about three inches of its length loose
from the bodice. Over this the loose end of
stay-tape was neatly sewed. All the other
seams were treated the same way. The
bone in each had three inches free at the
top. When all were in. the waist almost
stood alone. Upon fastening it, the curves
took the shape of the body. without being
the least in evidence And the fit they
gave was Joy forever-never a wrinkle, a
pucker or crosswise dig anywhere.

and will form largely the demi season wear.
The prices for these range from a dollar and
q half upward. They need very little trim
ming-some thin black texture laid under
meath, rosette, bunch of tips and ends.
One of the best things about them and other
bonnets of the moment is that they can be
made almost as easily by the amateur as by
the professional. The jet frames themselves
can be made at home, with alittle ingenuity
and time.
A characteristic jet bonnet of the small
type has black illusion pressed under for 3
lining and gathered into aruf1e, which pro-
iects round the edges. At the back is a
pompon OF black tips, with bow of violet
ribbon at its base. In front Is a tiny bow
of black velvet ribbon that may be ex-
changed for bunch of blue violets. Vio-
lets are much used on black hats The
strings are of black satin. Character would
be added to this bonnet if the outlining
wire, instead of being jetted, should be
wound with black velvet ribbon.

plunging them into boiling water for few
minutes, will loosen the skins so that they
may easily be slipped of. If to these
blahched meats pinch of salt be added the
minimum of danger is increased with the
maximum of comfort because the nuts really
are improved in the process.

A FACT ABOUT REAL LACE
The New York Appraisers Say It Must
Have the Hexaxonal Mesh.

Have the Hexagonal Mesh.
A curious question has been settled by
the Board of Appraisers of the Custom
House inNew York. The question is as to
what constitutes lace. This is the decision
they set down by the light of which any
woman will be able to tell at once whether
she has true lace in her possession or not
The one characteristic of lace that distin-
guishes it from all other fabrics lies not in
the material of which it is made, because
that may be of silk or of linen or of cotton.
Neither does it lie in the decorations that
are wrought upon it because the same needle
work is often put upon other fabrics. But
the one characteristic of lace-the real lace
ness, SO to speak, lies in the way in which
the net itself is woven. "The hexagonal
mesh," says the report of the authorities,
''is the essential feature, as it is the distin-
gushing characteristic Of lace, the process
Of its formation being akin to knitting, as
it is the antithesis of weaving"
This makes lace of all the nets used for
gowns or trimmings, if they have the open
work structure. Chiffon is not lace, but fish
net and Brussels net are. Tulle is lace, but
the sheerest null is not. The face veilings
are properly lace wells, except the grena-
dimes, which are not, no matter how heavily
they may be edged.

Between them all the American bonnet is
in good hands.
It is said that the spring bonnets will
mingle many colors, as none but the most
"Frenchy" bonnets have ever done before.
By this we are to understand that where we
have been content with one, or at most two,
very raw tints, we shall have such min
Cling as will constitute color in the true
sense of the word This will, 1t is
prophesied, make the best bonuets higher
in price than ever, because only milliner
with art knowledge, or with true art in
stincts, will be able to produce these color
harmonies, and such skill and ability is rare
and costly.
Requires the Exercise of Taste.
Such an outlook adds another to the MANY
reasons why women in general should
learn something about the ground princi
pies of decorative art. On this line it will
be but too easy for ignorant milliners to
produce crude results, and one should be
able at least to tell whether the motley she
wears makes a fright Of her or not.
However these things may be there is no
doubt that the bonnet shapes of the coming
season have been to an extent dictated by
taste and knowledge of forms. 1t would
be early to talk of spring headwesr were it
not that tie reflex influence of it is immense
on the bonnets being made and worn at the
present. But in order to buy or make a
bonnet intelligently late in the season it is
necessary to look forward and understand
the important elements of the coming
season. This is what the leading milliners
do, and this is the knowledge the amateur
must have if she will make her own chapeau
successfully.
