THINGS THAT ARE SURE TO PLEASE ALL
HE LADIES'
Dinner Etlnuette.

On elegant tables each plate is accom-
panied by TWO large silver knives, q
small silver knife and fork for hSh, a
small fork for oysters, tablespoon Tor
soup and three large forks. The nap
kin is folded in the center with piece
of bread upon it, AS the courses are
served the knives and forks and spoons
that have bee1 used are removed with
the plate. Fish should be eaten with a
silver fork, and II full Of bones needs
the use OF the knife as well. For sweet
breads, outlets, roast beef, ETC., the
knife is also necessary, but for GRO
quetteS, rissoles, bondries la Relne,
timbales and dishes Of that class the
fork is required.
When dessert is reached, everything
save the tablecoth and floral decoras
tioas are removed. A dessert plate
with a small silver spoon, a dessert
! spoon and fork, and sometimes comol-
nation fork and spoon for ices is placed
before each guest. Pears and apples
| are peeled with a silver knife, cut In
! quarters and eaten with the fingers
| Grapes should be eaten from behind
! the half closed hand, the stones and
| skins falling into The tEgers unoo-
served, and thence to the plate. Or
anges are eaten with spoon. Salad is
eaten with fork, utneeds knife to
cut large leaves that have not been
! divided before serving Cheese is easen
with a fork, though soft cheeses are
L-S-fead on bit of cracker or bread and
conveyed TO the month by the fingers,
Saltcellars are now placed at each plate,
and it is not improper to take salt with
the knife. The small after dinner cof-
fee spoon is used with the tiny cups o!
the black beverage that concludes all
! dinners. The spoon is the most dan
gerous implement OF the dinner, so far
as its correct usage is concerned. Soup
is always taken from the side and is
eaten noiselessly. To push the spoon
into the mouth either end first or other
| wise is decidedly vulgar.

rs splendid models, distinguished ior
dignity, simplicity and economy OF de-
tails. Each colony has its own peculiar
type OF building.
IL Is not difficult to classify the work,
as the plans, materials and general sp-
pearance of a building indicate at once
20 what part OF the country IL belongs.
Thus the New Highlander preferred TO
build OF wood, while the inhabitants or
New York and Pennsylvania confined
themselves 20 stone, and the southerner,
with materials OF all kinds at hand,
chose TO build OF brick.
Colonial architecture may be divided
into three periods-the first period dat
ing from about 1880 TO 1900; the second
from 100 TO 1880, and the third from
1890 to 1880.
The domestic edifces Of the first Pc
Rod exhibit in nearly every instance
stone chimneys and gable ends. The
sides OF the buildings and the ends
above the lines eff the roof plates were
OF frame construction, made OF heavy
oak timoers, rndelY squared and put
together with treenails and boarded
with oak plank, sometimes three and
four inches think, usually put on at
an angle OF forty-ive degrees, thus
making of every piece a separate brace.
The boarding was covered with coarse
stucco, or split shingles put on with
wrought iron nails. Governor Henry
Bulls house at Newport, K. l., erected
in 1859, is good example Of the first
period OF colonial architecture.
Among other examples may be men,
toned Captain Kidd's home on Conani-
cut Island, Rhode Island, and Tho old
Mill" both OF which bear evidences OF
the solidity which characterized the
work OF the early colonists.

What Few Do Well, but Something All

Porterhouse and slrloin steaks are the
only ones that can be thOroug bly, recon-
mended for broiling, and 10 broil either
OF them properly requires double broll-
pr and a good clear fire. Cut the steak
about three-fourths of an inch thick
and trim IL free from fat. II is is
a porterhouse, remove the tough
end and convert il into Hamburg
steaks for luncheon or tea. Heat
the broler and rub lightly with good
butter. Put the steak in the broiIer
and cook over clear fire, turning about
once a minute for eight minutes. Re-
move the steak to hot platter, season
with salt and pepper and rub one tea
spoonful OF butter over each side. Gar
nish with watercress and serve immedi-
ately. 1t is a pity that all cooks who
serve the public do not realize how
much they would add to their reputa-
ton by sending food TO the table piping
hot.
For roasting, or rather baking, since
the lack and open fire for roasting are
things OF the past in the American
Kitchen, the cuts known as sirloin, roast,
ump and part OF the chuck are COM
monty used, the order OF their excel
lence being that given.

baking OF beef. The first heat Is neces-
sary TO at once form coating over the
beef and confine the juices; the second
slower heat Is necessary to prevent the

inside remains raw. Wash the meat or
wipe thoroughly with clean cloth.

n1e,sinr to mo,hers and Babies.

Somebody. probably n mother, or az
least n person interested In babies, has
patented n little cap which is intended
TO correct the tendency some babies
ears have 10 stand out from the head
almost az right angles. Such ears are
the greatest dishgurment TO an other
wise perfect face, but this continuance
corrects all this.
Itisa simple little cap, made OF tape
and ties under the chin. There is no
weight or heat TO it, as it is in reality
only the framework of head covering,
vet it works wonders. SO few people
realize when they hold baby that tho
pliable little ears are folded over like
crumpled rose leaves instead of laid back
against the little round head, yet soon
the ear turns forward instead Of back
ward. aud the beauty Of the chlld's APP
pearance is spoiled. This little cap RENE
dies all this and will prove n real bless
ing to mothers and babies alike.

extreme In everything he sought 10
make his colony the ideal OF comfort and
luxury. That stamp OF refinement SO
pleasing TO us OF the present day was
borrowed from England, and the south
erner's tendency was therefore to make
his home and surroundings as secluded
as possible.
The Carroll house, Annapolis, repre-
sents gooA type OF the colonial house
during the third period. The University
OF Virginia is good type OF public
edifice OF the times. The latter was de-
signed by Thomas Jefferson, who was
remarkable critic aS well as student
OF architecture. Tho erection OF this
building was commenced In ISIS.
Among other notable examples may
be mentioned the Scott house, ogle
house, Rldeout house and Chase house
in Annapolis, In which city the first
Statehouse was erected In 1896, the sec
ond In l7O6 and the present building
from design by pupil OF Sir Christo-
pher Wren in l512.
One may imagine what difficulties
must have beset the architect and build
er I'm colonial times. The only lumber
yards were the native forests, and tho
only available wood working machinery
was the tooth saw moving az right an
giles to the log. Nails were imported
from Birmingham, England, and gem
eral hardware from London. Much OF
the brick used was brought from the
mother country before the colonists sue
ceeded In producing from their own soil
sufficiently good substitute. But the
interior work was evidently done on the
spot. Every item was OF necessity a
tedious labor. and from the Telling OF 4
tree TO the tenoning OF door panel was
done by the slow process Of the human
hand

The history OF the dwelling houses
can be we'll authenticated, while the
origin OF "The Old Mill" IS shrouded In
mystery. Yet the similarity in the con-
structive features is remarkable.
Whitehall may be SAID TO represent
the second period Of colonial architec-
ture. These bulldogs are OF frame con-
strnction and are covered with thick
clapboards put on with wrought iron
nails and rooted with split shingles. In

take the place Of stone for chimneys,
