The library has a small collection of
handsomely bound books, and here the

opposite end. When necessary a stage is
erected in front of the steps.
A dais at one side serves for the rovaI
family when there is tenantTy ball, but
when an opera is given, or play, the
queen s armchair is placed in front of
stage. The dais is lined with mirrors.
On the walls of the ballroom are groups
OF plaids, Scotch bonuets, dirks, sken-

On the floor Of the smoking room is
carpet of hunting Stuart tartan. The
same is used in the guest rooms, and is
very handsome. fancy these tartan car

ABERGELDIE AND BIRKHALL.
Abergeidie castle is about two miles and
half from Balmoral. 1t is picturesque
old Scotch castle standing directly upon
the Dee. In the earlier years of the
queen S stay at Balmoral her mother, the
duchess of Kent, passed her summers
here. In 1879 the poor Empress Eugene
was invited here for change and quiet
after the sad death of her son in the pre-
ceding June.
OF late years it has been occupied by
the Prince OF Wales family, and near the
south entrance is the great tree under

they were small. Some changes have

How to Use the lIattings and How -
Make the Rugs.
In buying mating it pays to get a good
quality.
Mating should always be bound, and
unless you are an expert in such matters
let me warn you not to attempt much in
the way of cutting to fit corners. Unless
you are very careful you Will have a
frayed breadth on your hands which will
cost more to replace than the price asked
by the dealer for making and laying.
Double headed tacks, such as are sold ex-
pressly for the purpose, are the only sat-
isfactory ones. The ordinary No. has q
fashion OF making its way into the fbex
and then cutting loose.
Mating is not adapted for floor sub
Jected to hard wear. The poor quality
will fray, and the finer grades will wear
on. Whenever it is used there should be
a plentiful supply OF rugs to protect itg
for while worn carpet may be tolerated,
tility.
Soiled mating may be cleaned with =
damp cloth, and where there are colors IL
is well to put a little salt into the water
IN which you dip the cloth. If you havs
been so unfortunate as to drop grease up
on the mating, do not try amonia or
oenz1ne or grease extractors; you Will
only make the spot worse. Sometimes
brown paper and a hot iron will be ef-
fective, but the best eradicator Is French
chalk and benzine- Cover the spot thick
with the chalk and moisten by sprink-
ling, not pouring, the benzine upon it.
When the benzine has evaporated, brush
on the chalk, and ioI the spot has van-
ished also.
Summer time, with it's bare floors and
colorless mating, is when rugs are mosa
needed. Here, then, is hint which some
women may be able to use. 1t is more
than probable the house holds an old.
worn ingram carpet, rolled away sone-
where. If this needs brushing, brush it.
Then cut it into strips an inch wide, be-
ing careful not to cut across the warpt
backstitch the strips together and send
them to weaver OF rag carpets with in
structions as to the lengths you desirs
woven, and the injunction to use the best
warp possible. If you think it too much
trouble to cut and sew the strips, the
weaver Will doubtless do that work also
for a trife.
You will receive some handsome, thick
rugs which those who do not know the
secret will think closely allied to Turk
| ish. The effect, where the original car
pet was of bright color, is really charn-
! ing, and you have the satisfaction OF or
dering just such lengths as suit youE
needs, for bay window, or in front OF
sofa, or a bed.
These rugs which, by the way, will NOT
answer for stair carpet, as they are too
stiff and thick, will last indefinitely.
Some in my own house have been in usG

The grandfather disdained the sugar
and cut fat pork in bits to mingle with
his lettuce-a practice considered by the
family as quite too barbarous for imita-
ton: but the dish was a good one, as
anyone may prove, and mixed on the
right principle of using an oil to milden
the raw vegetable.
Since then we have initiated foreign
foods both on the ground and at home,
until we have really come as a people to
like many things once new to us; still,
only the other day, in half rural city,
fashionable lady was heard to say: "Put
cream and not oil in the salad if there are
to be many people at the party who are
past middle age.' The tasUe for olive
oil has been ..acquired" by those who
have it. MARY HINMAN ABEL.

THE ART OF RAGoUTs.

Decorative Entrees for Plain Dinners
Artistic Treatment of the 'sstew.''
The ragout in perfection always requires
sauce, piquant or sayory, and the max
ing may be POLITICALLY termed Sthe flower
OF cookery"
Both study and taste are requisite for
the successful achievement of a perfect
ragout, and it is quite worth while to
give these, the dish being equally adapted
to the requirements of modest or luxu-
rious dinner.
The word ragout is freely translated as
stew f'pleasure, - or ''relish,"
and ragoutant, is ''saVory," pleasing
so 1t seems that the preparing of a ''stew,"
if done on certain principles, is no more
nor less than the compromising of a
ragout.
The stew as such is not an ornamental
dish; rather, it is considered from an
economical point of view, and it is in
making this distinction that SO many
housewives come to grief with it.
But a ragout, while artistic, serves also
economical purposes. Take, for example,
a remnant OF fowl which seems too insig-

THE QUEENS PIPERs.

and piper often plays in the open air
while she breakfasts. The queens pres
ent pipers are an uncle and nephew 1t is
a portrait of the nephew. William Camp
bell, from Inverness, which is given here.
He wears his court dress. The tunic is
black velvet. The plaid and kilt are royal
Stuart tartan-a brilliant tartan with 4
great deal OF scarlet in it. The buckles,
slides, clasp, of sporran or pouch
the arm guard and all ornaments
are solid silver. The jewels worn with
the Highland dress are always calrn-
germs, and a cairngorm will be observed
in the shoulder breach and also at the
top of the dirk. To slender silver chain
passing over one shoulder and under the
opposite arm is attached a silver powder
horn. This is worn in accordance with an
ancient custom, not for use.
His shoes have double silver buckles.
A silver crown and lion, the same that
is on the belt buckle and sporran clash /,
is fastened to his Glengarry cap.
The bag of the bagpipe is blue velvet.
The ribbons are Victoria and royal Stuart
tartan, and the banneret is blue silk
with the royal arms embroidered in gold.
An extremely beautiful dress. This

SPANISH BEAUTY.
Mrs. White is quite beauty and will
probably make hit in her own home
next winter. She is very young and sort
of a cosmopolitan within her own country.
Generally she is referred to as a Spanish
beauty, but the warm blood that comes
and goes under the rich olive complexion
is French. Mrs. White was born in
North Carolina, educated in Philadei-
phia convent and has always lived in
California, while her father was French
and her mother of Irish descent. Out of
this combination has come pair of rich
black eyes that are thoroughly Spanish.
Mrs. White is a devout Catholic.

women all below thlrty-fve, most OF
them about thirty, and many of them
still younger, who will demonstrate what

DINNER TABLE $50.

For decorating dinner tables fiat bas-
kets are used. High flower structures are
entirely out of fashion.
The baskets are of mixed straw, low
and square cornered, fitted of course with
a pan inside. with a square handle tied
with satin ribbon. The flowers are ar
ranged to make fat bed and are usually
of one kind and color, but baskets Of
roses are of mixed colors.
Flower baskets are the rage in Paris for
decorating rooms and for gifts among
friends. Nothing is prettier than one q

get-me-nots, which have been brought
into vogue by their color, and tied with =

baskets standing some two feet or more
high, in which are arranged huge bou-
quets made of long branches of hlacs,
roses, yioIet-hued rhododendrons, or even
a growing plant of azalia.
These high baskets are without han
dies, OF fat plated rushes stained in
green and brown tones, and have great

itself from affectation-

vIoLETs AND WHITE GARDENIAs

One sort of flower now is found abso-
lutely correct for day wear and for all
places. This is violets. Violets hold
steadily their place, not more because OF
their fragrance and beauty than because
they are of the fashionable hue. And
they are rightly in favor for dress, for
they enhance the color-effect of almost
any gown. They look well with black,
especially with black lace, ana they form
on exquisite harmony with green.
The white gardenia has come into favor
and is much to be seen in the evening
toilettes of men and women.
On a dinner gown the bouquet is placed
according to the design of the corsage,
sometimes there being needed a round
bouquet for an accent like a rosette in the
centre of trimming, and sometimes a
long one better heads a ruffie or carries
out line. The flowers are placed like .
Jewel to enrich the design sof the corsage.
Orchids remain the precious gems, the
diamonds among flowers, and are sought
and worn by those who can afford themg
for bridal boquets they are particularly
in request.

in the street. and even the gentlemen
seem to need a particu lar occasion to find
necessary a modest boutonniere.
