SMART SKIRTS FOR MY LADY
Some Late Types In Mild and Extreme
Styles.
DESIGNS BY WORTH AND FELIX
The Paquin Is the Newest Thing and Has
Wide Flare Draping Built Over a Gored
Lining-Hew Extremes Are Concocted to
Catch the Dollars Of GuIlible Americans.

New YORK, Nov. 8, 1894. - The Paquin
is the very latest model for wide fare in
skirts, and though it owes its title to the
Partisan house of that name, here is the true
story OF its origin.
AT shop lately opened, the wide jupe is
seen in its most ideal perfection.
Indeed, whole room in this splendid shop
is given up to the showing of OF skirts alone;
and as the gorgeous parade passes by, an ex-
ira dashing cut, and ultra severe finish at
once distinguished those OF Paquin make.
Besides this cut. which after all is the
thing, the enly additional ornamentation al
lowed q Paquin skirt Is q rich silk lining
tinted like pallid cloud, or as gay as the
gayest flower. 1t may be fashioned of velvet
moire, crepe moire-which is a new stuff with
messy be ngaline sort of surface-silk or
creRpn, but it never owns the least trimming;
but III OF cloth, the seams are strapped, or the
three front cores perforated to show flower
tinted lining
It begins with the lining, which is in eight
cores, and measures-for tall. well-made fig
ures-seyen yards and a-haf around. Eight
cen yards of silk are required for this lining,
which is made up separately from the outside,
and fitted as carefully over the nip as If 1t
were bodice. 1t is crinolined or hair
clothed only to the knee in 'front.' where it is
finished with a I'll d. acier, flat half-inch
wire braid, SO flexible it bends in any way
with the least movement. This wire also
holds 1t out ut the hem, no trace OF which is
ever seen on the outside Of the skirt.

Treasure.seekers in Florida.

SIT is remarkable how many people live in
Florida for no other purpose than hunting
hidden treasure said E. NJ. Martin 'From
the stories told it would seem that there must
be millions of dollars in Spanish doubloons
hidden along the Florida coast Some Of
these have actually been found, just enough
to give zest to the search. Captain Kidd is
supposed to have planted few hundred
thousand dollars down there, aud a number
of other pirates used Florida soil as deposit
bank. There are people who have lived there
for twenty years in order to find treasure, and
have impoverished themselves in their search
for this vast wealth. There have never been
any very large finds bur a number of small
ones, and the belief that there are large sums
hidden seems to be universal '-Cincinnad

EPIGRAMS FOR MEN.

A woman's fame is the tomb OF her happi-
ness.
Love thy wife as thy soul, shake her like a
plum tree says the Russian proverb.
Most women are better out of their houses
than in them.
A woman is always grateful to you-for
having thrown you overheard.
Women distrust men too much in general
and not enough in particular.
woman is like your shadow-follow her;
she flies; fly from her, she follows.
Women are apt to see chiefly the defects Of
man of talent and the merits of fool.
An opinion formed by woman is inflex-
ible. The fact is not half so stubborn.
Twice is a woman dear-when she comes to
the house and when she leaves it.
The only way to get the upper hand of a
woman is not to be more woman than she is
herself.
Women swallow at one mouthful the lie
that fiatters and drink drop by drop the truth
that is bitter.
woman is seldom tenderer to man than
immediately after she has deceived him.

EmploYee. Not EnpIore.

Why should the French word employee be so
much used when we have at hand the English
form of the same word, which seems at once
to suggest itself and answers every purpose?
Employee is surely the English correlative Of
employer. When we want the correlative of
examiner, we say at once examinee, and SO in
other analogous caseS-e. &, ncensee, as
signee. addressee, consignee, mortgagee
Some French words, like rendezvous, restau-
rant and coupon, are readily adopted into
our own language. But it cannot be so with
a word which requires to be written with an
accent, and which further requires the addi-
tion of an ''e'' to indicate the feminine gen
der.
The use of the French word has these,
among other, disadvantages-tha it has al
ways to be printed in italics, and that. when
spoken or written by the illiterate, as when
one reads, for instance. OF ''the female en-
ployes of the firm" there is offense in the
one case to the eye, in the other to the ear

any company in the United States
In 1887. ii was the first company TO enter
the National Guard and was assigned as Com
pany A. Fourth Battalion. In the reorgani-
cation il was assigned as Company A, Second
Battalion. The company won great praise in
Philadelphia at the constitutional celebration
In September. 1887. The first encampment
was held at Atlantic City in August. 1888. and
the company drilled each afternoon before a
large crowd. On its return il was met by all
the District companies and escorted to the
Armory. In April, 1889, the company ap-
peared in the Washington inaugural centen-
nial parade at New York and as usual was
given an ovation. President Cleveland and
Gen. Sherman applauded the boys as they
marched past the reviewing stand. The first
duty Of the company as part Of the National
Guard was at the camp at Fort Washington
in 1889. in this year Bandmaster John Philip
Sousa wrote march Ia their honor
The company was part Of the escort at the
Inauguration Of President Harrison aud was
al the last camp OF the District Guard in 1890

perience in the application OF tactics was in
the sham battle Of Brentwood Road, October
q. 1892. February. 1894. the company cele-
brated its eleventh anniversary with a street
parade and stag party.
The headquarters Of the company in the
Market Armory is one Of the most hand
somely furnished rooms ever 0sed by n mill
tary organization. Besides the regulation
uniform it has beautiful independent suit
consisting OF a white cutaway coat trimmed
in blue and gold, light blue trousers with
white strip. and a blue helmet with white
plume. On its list or honorary members are

AN HISTORIC FLAG.
Among the flags carried by the companies
Of the District none has such history as that
OF the Engineer Corps. 1t can only be car
ried Cand this is a pity until the regulation
flag, which is now being made. is furnished.
The Gag is relic OF the Army Of the Poto-
mac and it was the flag displayed at the
headquarters Of the chief of engineers of that
army. The use OF an appropriate flag for this
purpose originated with Gen. G. K. Warren.
and on once seeing il al headquarters he eX-
claimed: ''Ah, you still have my flag. II was
used as early as the Gettysburg campaign at
least. and afterward until the close OF the
active service Of that historic army. A de-
tachment OF vetsrans of the United States
Engineer Battalion carried it in the
parade Of the Grand Army of the
Republic at S.. Louis, and ii has since been
carried in other noted parades. 1t is worn
and frayed with long service. 1t has waved
in the midst OF historic events rnd great bat
ties Of the world, and has saluted Presidents
and renowned generals.

THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
..,,,,. -

And now for the pride of the Thanksgiving
dInner-ths turkey. OF which one might use
the sentence given to wine-''that which ex-
cuses poor dinner and gIorifes a good one.'
Every cook, even passable one, knows
how to cook turkey. but some Of the recipes
for stuffing that learned by a tour of chefs
yesterday are new and appetiZiDg.
A noted and patriotic hotel chef intends to
fill his Thanksgiving birds with stuffng a la
American This is composed Of bread
crumbs, soaked for half an hour, squeezed
dry, and mixed with sliced raw apples. lit
tie parsley. thyme. and sage. a little chopped
sausage will be added.
One of the Yanderbilts will have their tur-
keys prepared after the fashion adopted in
leading French restaurant.
The stufing is made up Of bread crumbs,
pate de foie gras and truffles, highly sea-
soned. After the turkey has begun TO roast.
a pint of dry champagne is poured very
slowly over it. 1t IS delieacy to be desired
only by those whose palates require rich food,
but there is no questioning its being delight
full both in flavor and taste
Chef Ranhofer always wraps his turkeys in
buttered brown paper and generally lines the
brsziere in which it is cooked with slices OF
fat pork. He also garnishes many OF his
turkeys with black olives.
At this same restaurant will be served an
epieures dish of turkey wings. These latter
are scalded. cleared of all pin feathers. the
fisshy part boned, then soaked. saucepan
is lined with fat pork and the wings are
moistened with mirepoix stock. They are
cooked an hour, then drained and set on a
dish. The stock is strained through nap
kin, and used to moisten mixture of skinned
chestnuts and chopped celery. cooking over a
slow fire until both chestnuts and celery crush
under the least pressure. little espagnol
sauce poured over ADDS to the flavor and the
whole is DO oured over the wings when ready.

A LA sALAMANDER.

This same chef also has preparation of
these crabs he terms a la Saiamander. His
recipe is to take some nicely washed, medium
sized and deep oyster shells. setting them on
a straight baking sheet. Drain the oyster
crabs, season them with salt. black and red
pepper. and fill the large shells. Strew over
them bread crumbs aud grated cheese.
sprinkle with butter and brown in a quick
oven, serving the shells as soon as done. No
sauce is used on the crabs.
Some new ways Of preparing oysters are
always interesting and one way that learned
lately should be given the benefit Of a trial
The dish is called 'oysters a la st. James"
Take some chive, shirvil little astragon
and few capers. put into mortar and thor
oughly pestie. Add one-guarter pound of
butter; press the whole through sieve and
mix with bread crumbs. Open the shells,
leaving the oyster in deep shell and mask
each one with this preparation. Bake them
in a not oven for five minutes and serve at
once.
The chef who originated this tasteful con-
coction also makes the best OF stuffed oysters.
His method is to chop up some lobster, a lit
tie onion, add cream sauce and stir until
thick. He puts this TO cool while he cuts the
hard bit out of the oyster and then fills the
void with the prepared stufing. The oysters
are then Dreaded and fried la Pompadour.
This. he considers an excellent "taster" to
precede Thanksgiving dinner.
Delmoni-o makes a skeWer OF oysters that
is fine. The oysters are blanched and
skewer run through each, pinning as it does
thin slice OF fat bacon, cut longer than the
oyster: some butter is sprinkled over andthey
are breiied over a quick fire and served on
hot dish with melted butter poured over.

New YORK, Noy. 3.-Oy5ter crabs are dis
tinctly the newest thing In the way Of autumn
appetizers Private families have not pat
ronized this dish extensively as yet, for this
especial variety OF mollusk is not widely
known as delicacy. Two years ago chefs
and epicures discovered the little animal and
now that which was thrown away has be-
come the cornerstone in the building of
dinner.
An oyster crab is found clinging to the oys-
ter inside the shell. Formerly oyster openers
threw the little red objects into boxes to be
carted away as refuse. The best variety now
come from Baltimore, but it takes not only an
appreciatiye palate but an appreeiative purse
to enjoy them, coming as they do as high as
81 for six dozen or $3.50 quart. And this
at the market. Consequently % is thought a
reasonable price for one small portion at the
restaurant whore one is dining out
A la Newberg is the favorite way TO prepare
them. The receipt for this dish given by ex-
cellent chefs is after this fashion:
Drop them into a hot saucepan with butter,
adding a glass OF cream, stir for five minutes
then remove at the first intimation OF boiling.
Prepare a liaison OF the yolk of two eggs with
a spoonful of raw cream. Just before serving
pour this into a saucepan, stirring over a
slow fire until 1t thckens; if it Is allowed to
touch the boiling point it will be like scram-
bled eggs. Season with salt, pepper and lit
tie nutmeg.
These crabs also make delightful lunch
con dish. stirred in hot saucepan with a
little butter and cream and served on but
tered toast.
They are also made up into patties in the
same manner, for entrees.
Chef Ranhoper OF Delmonico's, tells me
that he usually pours little Madeira wine
over his crabs a la Nevberg and finds that it
materially benefits the flavor.
