course one sufficiently large to allow
the salad a thorough tossing without
sprinkling either the maker or the
tablecloth, rubbed with onion, and
the lettuce leaves, which have been
carefully washed and thoroughly
dried, brought to the table in it. 1t
is we'll to allow the lettuce to lie In ice
water for an hour before you are
ready to use it, in order that 1t may be
crisp and cold. Lettuce is one OF the
things which incorporates with great
rapidity any substance with which it
comes in contact, and consequently
the flavor of the onion becomes a
pleasing but not predominant portion
of the dressing.
To make dressing sufficient for from
six to ten persons measure with your
wooden or silver salad spoon six
spoonfuls of oil, to be poured as you
measure it upon the lettuce and the
leaves thoroughly tossed in it. Then
dissolve in two s~altspoonfuls of vim
egar two saltspoonfuls of salt, pour
over the leaves, and after another
thorough tossing serve. The great
secret of French dressing is that,
given in the proper proportion, each
leaf should be thoroughly moistened,
and for this reason stress is is laid
upon the tossing and mixing in the
bowl. Salad is served after the meat
or game course. Ladies' Home Jour-

Every nation has its assigned space and
is rushing it's preparations. Every state in
the Union has its own building well under
way, and the last to attract attention for
their beauty and appropriateness are those
of Florida and Idaho. 1t Is not necessary
now to go into details as to their archi-
lecture and general designs, seeing that
there has already beyh a great deal of that,
but the two structures will attract atten-
ton because of their contrasts. They rep
resent the old and the new-the first settle
ment in what is now the United States
and almost the last; the far south and the
extreme northwest; the regions where a
man must live half the year under a roof
and the region where he may live all the
year under the sky, and finally the grizzly
bear and mountain lion against the tarpon,
alligator and manatee.
The Florida building is a exact repro
duction of Fort Marion, the old Spanish
fortress at St. Augustine, which is one of
the Oldest and most picturesque relics OF
colonial days.
Nearly all the offices of those concerned
in directing the work have recently been
removed to the grounds, and already the

the fairness of his fellow countrymen
makes it hard for him to believe they will
not soon do so. As to common things, like
music and machinery, space and local
transportation, the naked figures are star
ting. One comparison will illustrate this.
The machinery at the Philadelphia Gen.
tennial was really driven by little more
thar 1000 horsepower, and quite recently
the company engaged in utilizing the force
of Niagara falls estimated the combined
motive strength of all the mills and facto-
ries in Buffalo at only 0,000 horsepower.
Well, the central plant at Chicago will
supply 5000 horsepower, with a 5000 re-
serve for water pressure. Boilers, forty in
number, will stand In one solid battery; a
vast furnace with twenty feet depth will
extend in sections under the plant, and
visitors can view the whole furnace and
boiler front operation from a gallery above.
The great triumph of science in the mat
ter of applied power will be the E. P. Allis
engine of 1900 horsepower, which will
drive two Westinghouse -incandescent
dynamos of 10000 lights each. Two other
engines will be of 1000 horsepower each,
while forty-five more will range from 600
down to $50 horsepower.

The Fisheries building is now nearly

its reproduction quite appropriate. At the

merchants of Valencia were already In
negotiation with Don Pedro Compile, a
famous architect of that day, having long
felt the need of a special mart for their
wares.
In Valencia La Lonja is still the center
of active life, and for over three centuries
the silk exchange was held in it. In Valen-
cha the famous damasks are made which
adorn many Spanish palaces. There, too,
are manufactured the famous "azulejos,"
or blue tinted tiles, noted for their lustrous
glaze and said to have been an invention
of the Moors. The chief reason, however,
why La Lonja was selected as a model is
that Don Enrique Dupuy de LONE, Span
ish minister at Washington, was born in
Valencia in 1851, and as the entire control
of Spain's exhibit at Chicago was intrusted
to him he naturally desired to reproduce
the chief glory of his native city.
The structure is 1870 feet long and Is feet
wide and admirably fitted for the require
ments at Chicago. 1t is considered archi-
tecturally as the finest specimen existing
of late Spanish pointed work. It is, as
George Edmund Street tells US, simpler
in design than contemporaneous work at
Valladolid and Burgos." A noticeable fea-
ture is the parapet, enriched with circular
medall:ons inclosing q dozen heads. This
o-rnamentation shows the transition period,
as if ideas of the Renaissance had held their
sway in the artistic conceptions of the Span
ISL architect. The plans for its reproduc-
ton at Chicago were made by Senior Vas
quez Casado, the artist who restored the
Convent of La ~Rabida in Palos and de-
signed tho monument entitled ''The Dis
covery of America, recently unveiled at
Huelva. Every detail will be reproduced,
and the ornamental parts are now being
cast in Valencia.

Producing in street dress the long aban-
doned facing of horsehair, in order to
give to the edge Of the skirt the little
fare necessary to make the ample skirts
of today hang gracefully.
One of the newest skirts for walking
dresses, while it follows the general OUT
lines of the bell skirt, is the exact oppo-
site of it In the way it is made. Instead
of dispensing with seams, as in the case
of the bell skirt, the modiste uses as many
as six In the new skirt, and these are
trimmed up half way or nearly their en-
tire length with the narrow fur borders
that edge the skirt. Inorder to give this
skirt the proper effect the cores must be
of about equal size all round, and the
fullness at the back Is laid In a large,
hollow box plat.
