A little while ago a number of the Shrek

my ever again being returned to Parliament,
and sundry sisters are now having an outing
in order 10 spend this fund, writes Henry
Laboucherc in London Truth. At one OF
my meetings two of the sisters, one aged

Have You a mother?" asked the middle
aged sister. replied that, in common with
a good many persons, / had had mother.
What this Interesting fact had to do with
female suffrage / do not know, but appar-
emily it is the key OF the question, for the
next morning goodish-looking young lady,
with esthetic eyes and robed in esthetic garb,
penetrated into my room at my hotel.

Mrs Craigie is the new woman of epi.
gram, her brief books scintillatlEg with
Oscar wildeish paradoxes. Mrs. Craigis
is almost beautiful at her best, her pose is
that of one who is never in earnest, and
her conversation, like her books, has an
iceberg glitter. She is one OF the ablest of
the new writers. and prides herself on never
being in earnest over anything less serious
than the divorce court

SEPTEMBER COOKING.
Some True and Tried Oyster Receipts
Not Usua lily Met With.

With the early days of September plump,
well-flavored oysters are once more seen
in the market, and the following are a
few rarely excellent modes of preparing
the popular bivalve for the table:
Oyster bisque is delicious. One pint OF
chicken or veal stock tthe liquor in which
chickens have been boiled is excellent for
this purpose); one pint of oysters. one cup
of milk, two eggs, salt, pepper, chopped
parsley, one heaping cup of bread crumbs,
and one great spoonful of butter rubbed fn
one of flour Strain the stock and set
over the fire with the crumbs in a farina
kettle In another vessel heat The oyster
liquid, and when it SINNERS add the oysters,
chopped fine; cook all twenty minutes.
In third vessel scald the milk, stir into
this the floured butter, boil up sharply
and pour upon tIe beaten eggs. Set in
hot water while you turn the oysters
and liquor into the kettle containing the
stock and crumbs, and cook together be-
fore putting in the parsley and other sea-
soning. Finally pour in milk and eggs,
after which the soup must not boil, but
stand in hot water three minutes Serve
promptly in hot tureen.

Wedding Gifts
HAS BEEN MOTHER TO SISTER
AND COMPANION TO FATHER.
Her Brothers Unite in the Finest
Tiara Ever Seen, and Her
Trousseau Very Costly.

When Miss Pauline Whitney marries
this fan she steps from the quadrIple role
which she has been filling into still an
| other character. She has been mother to
her fve-year-old sister Dorothy, the help
ful sister OF her brothers Payne and Harry,
the pet OF her old bachelor uncle, Million
aire Oliver Payne, and the comfort and
| steady companion of her father. How she
viii combine the duties of a wife with al
these even her closest intimates wonder.
Besides being so much to so many, Miss
Whitney is the idol of her grandparents,
head OF the Paynes, of Ohio, aud the director
OF the small finances OF the family as they
relate to the distribution of funds to the
brothers and the adjusting OF household
expenses.
1t is only fitting that young woman
who is SO much.to her family should be
properly remembered with settlements
on her marriage, AID her friends are de-
lighted to tell that no richer gifts than hers
have ever been showered upon bride.
AN UNCLE PRINCE.
The greatest of all is from her uncle,
Oliver Payne, who has been an inmate of
the Whitney family since Pauline was
born. He loved Mrs. Whitney as few
brothers love sister. and the years she
was in Washington he gave her S100, ,0OO
a year, with directions to ''spend It en-
tertaining her friends After the term
was over he bought the house at Croesus
Four Corners-Fifth avenue and Fifty
seventh street-and gave it to her as a
birthday present.
The sum which he VIII give Miss
Whitney upon her marriage varies accord
ing to the narrators. Some say that it
VIII be cool, plump $1,000, 600 clear, and
others that il VIII be in the form of set
tlement OF $50 900 yearly for life.
Either way It provides well for the new lit
tie household.
The gift OF the bridegroom is a matter
of much speculation. Almeric Hugh Paget
Is a rich man. He is one OF fourteen chill
dren of the well-known Paget family OF
England. He came here ten years ago with
only a stout heart, willing hands and few
letters OF Introduction. He wanted to han
die real estate for English capi's lists, and
SO well did he do it for few that many
have since employed him. To-day he has
an agency OF millions of d"llars, and h.
income is We'll toward tac twenty thou
sand point year. His gift to his bride will
be no mean one. There are to be family
Jewels included, and hs brother, who will
act as best man, WHO arrived or o. steamer
that brought the Duke OF Marlborough here,
was the custodian of a string of pearls and
box OF priceless corals, the same that have

The young woman took the match and
