Since the world began women have been
accused Of vanity, and, while admitting
that she does possess her share of the not
exclusively feminine falling, the impartial
observer must acknowledge that as a rule
even the most beautiful women are dissat-
fsfed with their own appearance. The stat
uesque woman, "divinely tall, divinely fair
envies the petite, fiufy-haired blonde, willis
the said blonde would give half her curis
for two inches Of her Juno-like sisters
height. r
But, after all, blue eyes or brown eyes,
Grecian nose or pug nose, what does IL
matter? The charm of woman lies not In
beauty, but in individuality-if she could
but be brought to understand the fact! II
isn't the details that count; it is as Trilby
says, 1.-The altogether carriage, her
manner, her voice. her expression; IN
short, herself that makes or unmakes her
charm.
1t is the woman then that mas the
courage to be herself who attracts Orig
inals are so much more desirable than
copies, no matter how accurate the COPY
may be. If it be natural to wear ONES
hair in careless fashion, by all means do
so. Nature is never mistaken! But Lei
the admirng sister, whom that same auto
crat intended to be a tailor-made girl, be-
ware of that disorder-in her it would
cease to be artistic; it would be simply un-
tidy. Let every woman dare to be her
self; develop her own individuality not
blindly copy some other woman, whom 1t
may be, her husband happens to admire.
Let her think for herself, act for her
self and express her own honest opinions.
Individuality, when combined with that
nameless something called manner, Is the
most potent weapon in the possession OF
the sex; it is this which has given many
a homely woman a reputation for beauty
which a bona fide beauty. with faultleas
face and features, has sighed in vain to
attain.
Manner, magnetism-call it as we Will,
and intangible, elusive as 1t isis yet the
secret of the sway exercised by those for,
tunate ones of the earth who belong to the
race Of charmers," a race, let US hope.

Now, as it is my object to emphasize
dainty cooking it may be we'll to observe
at this point that boiling fish in plain water
Is almost an unknown thing with the foreign
cook, even in the most modest househ olds !;
to relieve the monotony which must result
from such a proceeding, special broth is
made and kept in stock a matter Of
course and varies for fresh and saltwater
fish. This Is called court boulllon, while
another expression is cooking the fish Eau
bleu." The court bouillon for fresh-water
fish can be prepared with white cooking
wine or vinegar, as most convenient. For
instance, put three pnts Of water over the
fire, with two carrots, two onions, roughly
cut in pie~ IS; q garlic root, two or three
cloves, bay leaf small handful of
parsley, and selt and pepper to taste; let it
boil for one hour, strain it and put the
liquor back over the fire with the same
quantity of white wine Tor half the quantity
Of good white vinegar and let 1t boil. 1t
can be kept fresh for several days, in
winter for a longer time, by boiling it up
every two or three days, adding each time
a small tumblerful of water. Where fish is
eaten every day. or two or three times
week, this liquor can be used over and over
again; it is merely question Of getting
into the habit of having a fish stock pet
as well as enc for meat, and it should be
the business of the housewife to ex-
act that this should be done as a matter
OF course. When 1t Will not De looked upon
as an extra and daddy piece of work.
For all salt water fish the preparation
differs slightly from the above; it is made
according to the size of the fish, with equal
quantities Of milk and water, and a fair
seasoning of salt and pepper; the milk helps
to preserve the whiteness of the flesh Some
salt water fish require to be boiled in
wine or vinegar court bouillon, but the
best succeed far better with the milk. In
any case 1t will be stated when vinegar
should be used. Besides this process there

GAMBLING CASE DISMISSED.
Others to Come Up on Thursday and
Friday OF This Week.

Judge Glasgow's court room savored
very much OF gambling resort yesterday.
There were cards, card holders, and a COM
plete faro outfit next to Clerk Crawford's
desk. and sitting about the room were
men who have been identified with the
gambling business for years past.
The first case called up was the one
against q man named Smith, alleged 10

with dealing faro on the night OF the raid.

which was accorded him. The only testi-
mony the state had was that of the raid
ing officers. who testified that Smith was
sitting at the faro table when they broke
into the room. but was not dealing when
they saw him.
AT this Attorney Hart. representing
Smith, moved the court 10 dismiss the
charge, as there was no evidence on the
part OF the state to show that Smith had
been dealing faro on that night. Judge
Glasgow stated that while there may have
been gambling going on during the night
in question, and that Smith may have been
dealing, there was no testimony intro
duced 10 show that there had, and dis
missed the case.

paid per pound was la cents, the check. u
is claimed should have been for sass.
