How to Cook and Serve Dishes
Which Are Fit for the King
of Epicures.

In these days OF extreme luxury one
would imagine that diners-out required
only faith In the resources of hostess
and her cook to whet the edges of their
appetites. Nevertheless it is unde niable
that many fashionable dinners and lunch
cons are preceded by these important van
guards to the feast.
AppetiZers, so called, are of two kinds,
liquid and solid, but anything frozen is en-
irely inadmissible for this purpose.
Cayiare is most acceptably served as an
appetizer at present. As is well known,
caviare is prepared from the roe of the
sturgeon found in the Russian waters.
Ii is usually served in sandwiches, cut In
a triangular fashion, and shorn or crust.
These sandwiches may be made of either
brown or white bread, although white is
usually preferred. They are passed around
by the butler Immediately alter the guests
are seated, before the oysters are brought
ON, but are sometimes found placed upon
the plate when the dinner is announced,
although this arrangement interferes with
The picturesque disposal of the napkin,
somewhat and is therefore to be discour-
aged.
The dinner. appetizer par excellence,
however, is made of anchovies. This OBJ
tains more favor as a quickener Of lag
ging appetites than anything else The

MRS. uowARD's CHALLENGE.
May Lead to an international Yacht
ing Trophy for Women

May Lead to an International Yacht.
ing Trophy for Women.
Mrs. William Howard is yachtswoman
who has Furnished the boating world an
excellent suggestion. Being an American
of the most patriotic type, and having been
defeated last year by an English woman in
an English boat, she challenged her con-
queror to another race this year.
The challenge was accepted, but the race
was not sailed because the builder of Mrs.
Howard's boat fell ill too late to allow her
to order another boat.
Whether Mrs. Howard races her oppo-
nent, Miss Constance Bennett, next year or
not, the suggestion furnished by her pMcky
challenge should not be overlooked. An
International trophy to be competed for by
Enish and American women would in
crease the yachting spirit among the wo-
men who claim the Herreshoffs for fellow
citizens.
Already in England there are skillful
yachtswomen who sail in races with men
on equal terms, and frequently beat them.
They stimulate interest in the building and
sailing of boats of the smaller classes. They
are credits to the country that still rules
the waves in song. il not in reality.
Among them are severafrho have Ameri-
can boats Miss Maud and Miss winifred

unsafe Ctiticism. .

1t is not quite safei to criticise Ameri-
cans in the higher circles.' of British soci-
ETY.. unless the critic has studied thoroughly
the pedigree of those whom he addresses, so
many American girls nowadays are becom-
ing part of the "effetc" aristocracy of the
old world.
Not long ago at reception given in Rome
at the British Embassy, an Italian baron,
who was presented to the Duchess of Man
chester, sighed deeply. as with relief, and
said to her:
.Ahl How glad am to get away from
those Americans therei We come across
them everywhere, don't We, duchess? You
can't imagine how happy / am to converse
with you. There is such acontrastbetween
the manners of English and American
women!"
The duchess let him go on as long as he
liked in this way, and then said, with a
gracious smile:-
Perhaps you are right. baron; but, being
myself an American, I am NJ, doubt incap-
able of Judging"
The baron wished that the floor would
swallow him up, and reflected that he
should have known, as every one else did,
that the Duchess of Manchester was New
Yorker.-San Francisco Post

sleeves.
II Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt were asked
what would be the prevailing fashion of
sleeve this fall she would Undoubtedly
say: Large shoulder puffs, standing well
out, but not setting up much above The
shoulder line. Tight as the skin to the ell
bow"
This has been the universal scheme ofthe
sleeves that have called upon her at her new
town house in New York.
A dreadful little attempt was made by
one of the New York leaders of fashion to
introduce the skin-tight sleeves with ruff
files around the shoulder falling to the
elbow. Several ordered gowns of this sort,
but the sleeves never made but one appear
ance. There is something extremely an
tiquated about this style that refuses TO
adapt itself to the youth of the wearer.

MISS WHITNEY'S IDEA.
Miss Whitney is keeping very quiet this
fall, but she does drop inland occasionally
from that yacht upon which her father
chooses to spend most of his time. to
make calls. One of her calling dresses is
tan, with sleeves of brown, brocaded in
tan. There was deal OF cut steel glini-
mering upon the dress. The steel was
principally in great buttons. as the big

Funeral Display
Is Now Tabooed
SIMPLICITY IN DETAIL INSIST
UPON BY SOCIAL LEADERS.
Observances to Be Followed on
Such Sad Occasions-No
Flowers Now the Rule.

I'VE certainly do these things best in the
States" she said, watching the last car
riage full of mourners roll away from the
church door, with an expression of somber
satisfaction in her eyes. In France, Italy
and even England, as rule, funerals de
generate into common street parades.
Americans prefer that sort of magnifi-,
cent simplicity should distinguish these mel.
anchoIy rites. Not bit because we wish to
show less respect or take less trouble in
honor of the deceased.
THE COMPLICATED ETIQUETTE.
There is really no occasion requiring more
careful management, serious considera-
ton and punctillious attention to nice lit
tie details OF form than wellconducted
funeral Whole patches of friends and &ins-
folk have been known to become hopelessly
alienated by some stupid blunder at such
time, and social aspirants often lose their
best chances by a tactless maneuver over
funeral etiquette that is becoming yearly
more complicated.
In nearly every prominent family there
Is usually one member supposed TO be es
pecially well yersed in the form of govern
Dg these events.
IMPORTANT DETAILS.
This same person then makes haste TO
struck off, with the suitable black borders,
and begins posting them TO such friends of
the bereaved family as are abroad; or on
heavy white linen sheets, bordered on one
leaf with black, is engraved the same an
nouncement that appeared in the news
papers. These have their envelopes sealed
in black wax, with the family crest, and
so are at once stamped for the foreign
mail.
Directly after the public notice has ap-
peared the immediate friends and kins-
folk call and are received at the door by
the butler in full mourning livery. His
left coat sleeve is broadly banded with
crepe, his waistcoat, tie and sleeve links
are all in black and his coat frogged across
from breast to shoulder with heavy black
Silk livery cord.
Where the deceased is a rather venerable
person only crepe must be used on the
door. A person just over 40 years is sig
nified by broad streamers of black silk
mourning ribbons, and young unmarried
person with equally broad white gros-
grained streamers. Where the funeral' is
conducted from a country house, there is
a commendable custom followed of tying
The morning times., 1895-10-13

into the black doorbell ribbons fresh bou-
quets of vioiets twice a day, and with the
white ribbon bride roses in the bud or
lilies of the valley.
NO FLOWERS.
The hearse must be absolutely simple.
Sable plumes and housings for the horses,
OF white cars with their satin hangingss
are equally abjured by the followers OF
good form. Now, when a newspaper notice
SAYS please omit flowers that has 10 appll
cation to relatives, who send their floral
offerings first TO the house, a full two
hours before the funeral, after which they
are sent on to tile church, arranged before
the cortege arrives, and only those
wreathes and bouquets given by the sis
tiers, daughters, wife, or brother OF the de-
ceased carried on to the cemetery. This
and the omission of flowers was regulated
to cut off the officiousness Of stra ngers or
pushing folks who assumed to secure
some notoriety or intimacy with n family
through the opportunity of their loss.
There is story currently told of a fun
cartload OF most gorgeous lilied crosses
and orchid crow ms being returned TO num-
Der OF social climbers, who, though stran
gers to an important society leader,
hoped to gain her favor by sending these
illtimed signals of sympathy on the death
OF her child.
THE PROPER RECOGNITION.
The code of the best conducted funerals
telegatcs all but the family connections TO
the church, and the order of the car
risges is most scrupulously observed. Those
containing the pallbearers Immediately
follow the hearse, then come the immediate
family, tile heads of the house first. grand
parents with the parents, great -unclc . ii
aunts taking precedence OF uncles and
aunts, relations-inlaw following behind
knsmen and kinswomcn connected by blood,
and carefully forcwarned the ushers cut
off the requisite front pews for mem
bers OF the cortege by a white ribbon.
AT THE CHURCH.
The question of precedence up the aisle
is sometimes painfully complicated. The
pallbcarers come first, of course, then If
the chief nlourner is a wife her eldest son
supports her, in case there is no son her
late husbands father or his eldest brother
give her their arm. Where a young man
has lost his fiancee he supports her mother
up the aisle and vice versa. the first per-
son to follow the pallbearers is the af
flicted girl on the arm of her fiancee's
father.
These details should be borne in mind,
because most unhappy djssension has been
