scarcely gotten well into winter be-
fore the Lenten spring steps In and
intcrferes. The cold weather has
been so coquettish that our heavy
cloaks and furs have seen but little of
the light; and Lent already comes
with whispers of gentler and balmier
winds.
Perhaps it is because of this early
appearing that so little change will
take place in gowning. There is but
little preparation for church and street
gowns. OF course, the black that pre-
rails SO generally is partly to blame
rs we'll; for gowns will need but slight
toning down to make them perfectly
correct for the Lenten days. The
cerise, the petunia, the yellow, that
brightens the black gown, will be
removed; and the gown will be suita-
bic for the solemnest of church occa-
sions.
Where new gown is made, the
earlier spring designs that have made
their appearance are suitable for Lent
and spring alike; for they are in the
softest and prettiest of fawns and
grays-in the mixed tints that blend
so unostentatiously. The favorites are
spotted with great ovals in the gayer
oriental shades. A charming costume
just completed is of rather dark
fawn, in fine cloth. The skirt is per-
fectly plain, does not flare in the front

importations, however, show a leaning
toward the smoother and finer grades;
and it is probable that but few of the
heavy ribs and coarse materials that
ushered in the winter will figure in
the spring promenade.
The plain, quiet basques for street
wear will be lightened by the pretty
silk blouses and dainty fronts of silk.
The figaro, so popular at this time in
Paris has made these dainty blouses
necessity; and summer and winter
alike, they are worn on the streets. A
particularly neat costume is cheviot
in pale gray, that has a suggestion of
white in its mixed threads. 1t is made
with the plain skirt and long basque.
The coat turns back in revers in front,
showing little of the bodice beneath.
It's yoke is plain, and runs down in
deep point, being made of rich, white
lace. AT each side is series of tiny
little points, that one must call revers,
for the want of better term, that fall

lightly and daintily about, at theil~o OWE
sweet will. The little points are Of
pure white chiffon.
Another attractive gown for the COM
ing season is black trimmed with
three narrow folds of heliotrope vel
vet, put on above the plain edge of the
skirt. A black cape is worn over the
bodice beneath. little heliotrope
toque blends with the skirt trimming.
Jack Frost has been coy and con
quettish as popular belle, this
winter long, and has hid his face so
often that he has had no opportunity
to furnish that CLASSY surface where
youth and maid slide swiftly on, bury
ing their youthful sorrows most
effectively in their glad, mad races. In
spite of it, however, there has been
greater interest than ever taken in
the skating gown. The velvet and fur
skirts are most popular, although a
plain, heavy cloth is almost as de-
sirable. The single skirt, if it be of
the fur or velvet, is all that is sufli-
is worn beneath. The brightness, and
brightness there should be, is added in
the long coat basque. For instance, a
skirt of dark black velours dotted with
green, is combined with coat of
terra-cotta cloth. 1t turns back in re.

Mrs. Boddle looked the thanks she
seemed too weak to express in words,
as Uncle Billy hurried away. DIR.
Sampson went below to smoke pipe,
leaving Aunt Easter with the sick
woman.
Easter" said Mrs. Boddle, after a
long silence, ''seems as if another plate
OF that kraut | could hardly cat this
morning would help me some. You
needn't tell Sampson, doctors are so
peculiar. But eff three of em are 60
ing to set over me, I'll surely need
something strengthening"
Aunt Easter departed rather unwill-
lngly, with her nose in the air. She under
stood that Mrs. Boddle's ailments were
largely in the nature of humbugs. In
little while the smell of smoke began
10 permeate the room, and the sick
woman, after snuffing suspiciously. be-
gan to revive.

Dr. Sampson and Aunt Easter, be-
low, heard a shrill cry over their heads.
"Firel Firel Firel Help! Muir
der! F-i-r-er'
The tones were so shrill, strong and
startling, that the two, utterly mysti-
fed, ran upstairs to find Mrs. Boddle
with wrapper thrown loosely on,
striding about the upper rooms as Wig
orously as if she had never been in a
sick bed in her life.
Bring up water, Easter" she ex
claimed, rummaging in closet near
the chimney. 1.-The house is afre

dows-Oh Lordl-that should live to

The doctor, though greatly startled,
proceeded to lug down the furniture.
Aunt Easter stood as if paralyzed at
first, then she actually grinned as she
hurried away. Meanwhile Mrs Boddle
was throwing bedding and clothing
from the windows, and making frantic
attempts to discover where the flames
were located, and also shouting con-
tinuously to the full extent of what

HINTS FOR THE COOK.

IN beating the whites of eggs for
meringue or frosting, do not add the
sugar until the egg is stiff.
WHEN there is not time to ice cake,
remember that it's appearance may be
greatly improved by dredging the top
with little powdered sugar.
ALWAYS keep jar of cracker dust
on hand for breading, or else save up
all pieces of bread, and once month
dry them in an open oven, then place
them in bag and pound until fine
For rabbit pie the rabbit should be
cooked as for stew, the gravy thick
ened, and the whole put into a deep
dish and baked with top crust and
strips around the sides, as beefstealx
pie is made.
HERE is the correct way to stone rails
ins: Free the raisins from the stems and
then put them in a bowl. Cover them
with boiling water and let them stand
for two minutes. Pour off the water,
open the raisins, and the seeds can be
removed quickly and easily without
the usual sickness.
RABBIT may be stewed in the same
manner as chicken in fricassee. 1t
should always be cooked in stock and
have strip of salt pork cut into dice
to flavor it properly. The English add
spices in which mace is the predominant
ing flavor, but care must be exercised in
the use of this, for it is Objectionable
to many.
RABBITS may be prepared for roast
ing in much the same manner as poul-
try. Then stuff it with sausage meat
and dressing made of parsley, bread
crumbs or whatever you would pre-
pare for turkey or chicken. Sew the
rabbit together, place strips Of bacon
over the back and bake in a moderate
oven, basting frequently. 1t should be
served with red currant jelly and nice
ly Drowned gravy.

add new charm to them, and the addi
tional cost will be trifling. Cheaper
grades of bells can be secured at the
large drygoods stores, at agencies for
theatrical properties and at novelty
stores in general.
The miniature church bell is prefer
able, though very pretty effects may
be gained by strings of tiny sleigh
bells. If only one bell is used it is
sewed securely to the instep of the
slipper Clusters of bells should be
strung on silk cord or small ribbons.
The above illustrations will suggest
many ways Of fastening the bells to
the slippers so as to secure sufficient
sound and enough artistic effect.
So now 1t can once more be said of
the society princess that:
With rings on her fingers,
And bells on her toes,
She shall make music
Wherever she goes.

TINY CHIMES.

than her share of attention, for, in tn,
promenade, and more noticeably in the
whirl of the dance, a faint musical
tinliling of bells marked her move
ments and beat time to the rhythm of
her step.
None of the many male admirers
that fiocked around her could discover
the source of the mysterious chimes,
till twinkle of her white kid slipper
explained the puzzle. A tiny gold bell
was fastened to her instep, and its
tongue kept up continual prattle,
calling attention to its fair owner.
At one of the large Broadway Jew
elry stores a New York journal re-
porter learned that bells for ball Slip
pers have been worn abroad, especially
in France, for years. Here, however,
they are such a decidedly novel impor-
tation that they are very hard to find.
This difficulty will, of course, exist
only for very short time, as the I'M
mediate demand will create rapid
supply.
There is room for a variety of tastes
and a variety of expenditures, in pur-
chasing these miniature tintinnabula-
tions. 1t is possible to get them in tin
and cheap metals as low as eight cents
dozen. These come in many colors,
green, red, gold, blue and white, and
can be adapted to any costume.
But, of course, it will never do for
swagger people to wear anything so
cheap, and nothing but sterling silver
or eighteen-carat gold will find its way
to the instep of society.
AT present the silver or gold bells of
the more expensive grades will have to
be made to order, but this will only

too unenergetic to possess himself OF
pronounced vices, and was thought to be-
lieve that his wife was the most perfect
and patient of women.
The gossips about Swallowforl Flats
said that:
"Uncle Billy was good-too ALFRED
good. In fact, so good that he hadn't
gumption enough to be bad When
man walters contentedly through life
believing that black is white Just be-
cause his wife tells him so, his friends
can't help wishing he had something in
his head more like brains than soft
b lied eggs"
And yet Uncle Billy's intentions
were always of the best. If he chose
to make himself the slave of Mrs. Bod
die and her ailments, it might be said
to be family rather than public af-
fair. But his neighbors naturally hated
to see a man SO angelically befooled.
To any friendly remonstrance Uncle
Billy would only shake his head.

ton like me and her does. Hits n Won
der that last attack o. dropsy on the
liver didn't kill her dead. Dr. Samp-
son said it was plump wonder the
way he pulled her through"
Probably the doctor had his private
opinion, but as Mrs Boddle had been
for years n most profta BILE patient, it
was not to his interest to make light of
the many complicated disorders with
which that astute woman declared her.
self afflicted from time to time. OF
course Uncle Billy's friends could only
hint their opinions delicately. But
Aunt Easter, the hired cook, and
rather privileged character, was wont
to be more openly skeptical.
"Drapsy OBJ de libber!" she said,
rather scornfully one morning, as she
returned from Mrs. Boddle's room with
an armful of empty breakfast dishes.
''Ilit's suttingly mo- like drapsy OBJ de
stummick. She's allays drappin' Wit
ties down her throat"
But Uncle Billy remained faithful to
his domestic ideals, and month after
month submitted to his wifes every
whim with patience and serenity both
aggravating and admirable. One time
Doctor Sampson would be sent for
post haste, to relieve an acute misery"
about the heart. At another Mrs
Boddle had presentimcnt that she
was destined to die of nervous prostra-
ton, superinduced by the exhaustion
consequent upon several previous at
tacks, all equally severe and myster-
ious.
Upon the last occasion Mrs. Boddle
lying propped up with pillows, insisted
that Drs. Pepperpill and Slambang
should be called in, to consult with DR..
Sampson.
For somehow" said she feebly; "hit
seems to me I'm bound to go this
time, eff something extronnery hain't
done"
"All right, Malindy," said Uncle Bill
ly, feelingly. II don't keer for the
trouble where your wishes are con.
cerned. But, are you sure them fried
sausages ye ate last night didn't disa-
gree with YEP"
Mrs. Boddle cast a look of piteous re-
proach at her husband, then turned to

the bed, was solicitiously offering a
sedative draught

REBUILDED HIGH SCHOOL.
Interesting and Impressive Dedicatory Ex-

Baxter, and Others-Large Audience
Present.

The rebuilded High school was dedi-
Gated yesterday afternoon with inter-
esting and impressive exercises. The
audience was large, all that assem- bly,
hall could hold. In it were many whose
school day experiences reach back to the
little school house where master Libby
taught the first High school. In his
opening address Mr.. Baxter referred
briefly to this first High school building.
The PRESS this morning furnishes cut
of it, made by Mr.. Fassett, in accordance
with suggestions made by many old citi-
zens, who agree in their memories Of the
building.
Former members of the city govern
ment, mayors of other cities and the
