Garter clasps are really works OF art In

pended from her throat. The latest
novelty is a Roman gold snake wound UP
in a fiat coil, with its head thrust out in
an angry manner for the special purpose
Of displaying the brilliancy Of its dia-

Clean your fish carefully, slit 1t low
enough so as not to have any blood

large a cut So as to spoil the look Of the
fish. The sound adheres to bone and
must be left, so must the hard and soft

the liver. which in most Ash Is re-
placed: great care must be taken not
to break the gall, for it would make the
fish bitter; never fry fish In butter; fry
them in good dripping or lard; oil is
