boiling water, cover and keep in hot place
for fully ten minutel It NAV be served
with sugar and cream or boiled milk as
coffee or tea In this connection it is well
to remember that the so-called cambria tea
fed to many children possesses no nutrition
whatever as usually prepared. A cup
nearly full of hot water is whitened with
milk and sweetened; if enough milk is used
to really nourish it chills the water to an
unpalatable degree, and % all nurses and
many mothers are careless in Its prepara-
tion, this fault or its opposite is usually
present. If you give the child ''cambrio
tea" see that cream is added to heated, not
scalded, milk and very little boiling
water
Education in New York private school
of high class is expensive and elastic It
costs about $1,000 from October to early
June, and for this sum young woman is
housed in an elegant home in fashionable
locality, is fed on choice fare, served by
well trained maids, and looked after moral
Iy, socially and physically by refined and
well-bred women. This in addition to .
more or less elaborate course of study, Of
which the sine qua non is the modern
languages In addition there are plenty of
extras, such as singing, painting, dancing
etc, making 1t easy to spend two or three
considerably cheaper as at Vassar,
Wellesley, Smith and other women's COL
leges $500 to $500 will include full course
and as many extras as a girl is capable OF.
The old word finishing" school has been
tabooed at these private institutions, pupils
entering the kindergarten attached to many
of them and graduating later from the
upper GLASS It is still true, however, that
many pupils come from outside cities to
get the "fnish" supposedly obtained no
where else as well as from year at New
York private school
Frenchwomen have resuscitated the old
fashioned ''stock" on the Louis Philippe
cravate which they wear with their natty
vest and shirt front costumes A bias fold
of satin or silk is brought around the neck
| from the front, crossed behind and tied in
front in a small fiat stiff bow.
Dinner knives with handles Of blue
ivory are new.
In selecting chatelaine bag, which by
the way it is every woman's duty to insist
shall remain in fashion, at least SO long as
the sex is pocketless, those with one fiat
side to hang against the dress are prefer
able. The rounded sides, as soon as any
thing is put In them bulge out untidily.
| The long silk or cloth bag of black is still
| in evidence and is especially dear to the
heart of the suburban shopper
Among the beautiful new things in
high-class shop, where decorative articles
are sold, was square table cover of pea
cock blue art serge, upon which was en-
| broidered at each corner in gold thread the
accompanying design, which is q model of
| one of the gods of the Hindus. Its claim
| to beauty lies in its grotesqueness alone,
but it has value of suggestion to any en-
broiderers who choose to adapt it to scarfs or
hangings, particularly as it is announced
| that the fancy for Chinese and Japanese
effects is waning before the rising favor of
| Indian, Turkish and Moorish belongings
A simple gown of gray ladies' cloth lately
seen was plain princesse, which just
cleared the pavement The slight fullness,
which was arranged from the neck similar
to q wrapper, was held in at the waist by q
soft sash of gray silk, which was passed
around from tho front, crossed over and
brought back to be tied in a snug knot with
very short fringed ends directly ii front.
Gray gloves and velvet turban of gray
straw and velvet completed this shopping
gown, which was really charming in its
simplicity. MARGARET II. WEIGH
