The success of this dish depends upon
the rapidity with which it Is cooked and
served. Not more than 90 minutes should
elapse during the operation because, all
authorities to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. kidneys are made hard and tough
by long continued cooking.
Beef kidneys are the best for this dish,
but others may be used. After washing
the kidney. cut it in small slices, reject
ing all the white portion. For pint Of
sliced kidney. peel and CRATE or chop
finely a tablespoonful of onion. Put it
in frying pan, with tablespoonfuls
of good drippings or butter, and when
it begins to brown put it the pre-
pared kidney. Stir the kidney over a
hot fire for five minutes. then stir IN q
tablespoonful Of dry -four. and when it
is brown add pint of boiling water. a
teaspoonful of salt, quarter of a salt
spoonful Of pepper and . tablespoonfuls
of any good table sauce. Stir the kid
ney until the sauce is smooth, taking
care that it does not cease boiling. In
90 minutes serve it with a dish Of now
boiled potatoes and the puree of spinach.
The French method substitutes glass
of wine for the table sauce and adds q
little finely chopped parsley when the
kidney Is cooked.

none of the trio named would have the
same advantage as their anniversaries at the
outset-namely, health, strength and vital
ity. Each would have to regain these quail
titles before starting in to train, and the
other chaps would have the best of it by at
least four or six weeks the time required
by the actor pugilists to get into shape for
training. For that and other reasons de
clined to meet Johnny Griffen, Solly Smith,
Johnny Van Ieest and other challengers
until the expiration of my theatrical con-
tract.
All the training and instruction in the
world, however. will not make a man a
pugilist unless he has it in him, but nat
ural born fighter can improve wonderfully
under the tuition of a skillful boxer. An
instructor like Jim Corbett, Peter Jack son
or Mike Donovan could give the average
fighter points that would he invaluable to
him. They could teach him blows that he
never dreamed of And here let me say
that single blow often ends a fight at
once or so disables an adversary rs to eud
all hopes of victory.

Much prettier and adapted to soft
stuffs is the sleeve. which consists Of
two big puffs TO the elbow. the upper
one a little longer. 4 similar style has
the elbow sleeve divided into four puffs,
each one narrower than the one above it.
a style which the dressmaker claims
is eminently fitted for wash gowns, and
which the laundress vehemently declares
is not, is shown. The sleeve is full to
the elbow and tight below. Narrow
double ruffies Of the material, edged with
lace, run from shoulder TO wrist, leaving
only the narrowest stripe Of the original
puff visible.
Still less to the laundress' liking is the
other sleeve of the batch. 1t consists OF
a soft puff to elbow and cape of ruffies
not more than an inch wide from the
shoulder seam half way to the elbow.
In a gown with sleeves like those girls
shoulders seem about the size of Brit
ish generals and her waist correspond
ingly small, so that sleeves like those
hold sway despite laundresses.

the race horse of lifetime at Washington

pounds one mile and a quarter, conceding
weight to each of his eight opponents, and
winning the Wheeler handicap in time
that eQualed Salvatore world record of
2:O5. 1t was a better performance than
that of Rancho del Paso's king, and taken
in connection with Morello's entire check
cred but triumphant career it places the
truly mighty son of Eolus as high on the
pinnacle of fame as any racing King that
ever wore the crown and gave him the I'M
disputed title of turf champion. No Tam

handicap winner, and Aldebaran were
among the famous horses beaten by Mo

What a lovely shade for a dresden

at a tea the other day.
Made from an old evening gown of
mine" replied the latter. Tho silk,
(Which was white, brocaded in red and
pink roses) was quite soiled. but had
it washed and pressed. 1t was not very
difficult to cover the frame, and the
white lace that finishes the edge tinted
here and there with water colors to
match the colors of the brocade." The
whole effect was exceedingly pretty and
in perfect harmony with the Powered

WASHINGTON, Aug. For the twelfth
time in the history of the United States
congress was convened at noon today in
extraordinary session. On the floor of the
house of representatives was the usual
hustle and stir which always mark the
first few days of the session. In the gal
leries were packed as many spectators as
could crowd in, all aflutter with the half
suppressed excitement which pervades the
whole Capitol building and the city itself,
in fact.
In the senate there were less noise and
more gravity of course, but the exciting
interest of the occasion made itself appar-
ent to some extent.
The session was opened with prayer by
the senate's new chaplain, Mr.. Milburn.

his magnificent frame by leading theatric-

from the strain consequent upon theatrical

compelled to take a trip to Europe to re-
