Among dainty toilette articles are
hand-chased mirrors, framed in silver,
wrought in special patterns by artistic
workers in metal. The most interest
ing of these mirrors are chased with
figures in French renaissance designs,
or in italian pattern with cupids,
masques, wreaths and scrolls. These
mirrors are sold at exceptional prices
because they are special pieces of work.
A very dainty hand-mirror framed in
heart-shape MAY be found for $3.50, and
from this the prices go upward to al
most as many hundred, when mirror
of special or unique workmanship is
sought for.-N. Y. Tribune.
Cold meats-beef, veal, pork, sau.
sages, ham, tongue, chicken-and fish
are the basis of delicious salads, tc
those who like cold meat in piquant
relish, blended with shred lettuce. A
salad of shaved tongue is perhaps the
daintiest. Spinach, in Normandy, is al
ways called salad and 50 prepared
when in its own proper character; but
spinach is also green sweet and comes
to the table like dark green cream
favored with vanilla and powdered
with white sugar; of course, thus pre-
pared, it has lost all identity of taste.
