"Anemone" seems to be one of the new
shades-whether it is a pale, cloudy pink
white, as its name would suggest, or whether
the fashion makers. with their glorious free
dom from restraint, have christened a new pur-
ple or crimson or green "Anemone." one can
not tell just yet; surely the true anemone
blossom color will be hard to duplicate.
The French courts have decided that
woman is an old maid when she is 80, and not
a minute sooner. Ten years ago an unmarried
woman of 25 was thought qualified to be called
by that honorable title, but in these days. col
lege girls have changed all that. and 24-year
old girl is just from school, and as fresh and
unworn as morning flower.
Little short boas of ostrich feathers will be
fashionable and becoming this Winter.

A hint to the makers of pie all over the
land is to make the paste the day before, fold
ing it in a close roll, wrapping it and putting it
in cold place. The next day when it is rolled
out and baked it will be the lighter and fakier
for the interval between its making and bak-
ing-so good cooks say.
The bicycle girl makes cretonne cover for

Princess gowns, so becoming to pretty, grace
fnl figures promise to be much worn this
Autumn and Winter. Women too stout. and
women too thin, stoop-shouldered women, or
women of bad carriage in any way should
avoid the Princess style, which but accentuates
every defect and awkwardness as surely as it
woman.
The children will like sugar strip favored
with bit of vanilla to eat with their cakes at
breakfast. The wisdom of feeding the little
ones hot cakes may be doubted. However, If
they are to have them, the strip will be i'm

buttons and lacers are easily procured. There
is no excuse for untidy, feet. Gloves can be
mended satisfactorily also. The strands Of
cotton threads for mending cost only few
cents, and for patches onecan use bit cut from

and waist with yoke of fine tucks, the mate

under wide folded belt of black satin. A
high folded collar is of the black satin. and there
are cuffs of it. With this frock are worn tiny
lace points over the collar, and turning back

| The making of cakes nowadays, particularly
the good old fashioned poundcake, is not what
it was in the days of brick ovens and our grand
mothers, but satisfactory results may be OBJ
tanned if little more attention be given to the
work. This is recipe for a fruit poundcake
like the poundcake of half a century ago:
Wash one pound of sweet butter, and take
from it piece half the size of an egg for use in
greasng the pan. Weigh one pound of -four
and thoroughly dry it in the oven, but do not
allow it to brown. Stone one pound of raising
cut them into two. and sft them lightly with
flour from the weighed pound. Cream the
| washed butter and stir into it ono pound Of
| sugar. Crate one nutmeg into the creamed
mixture and the yellow rind of medium sized
lemon. Measure two tablespoonfuls of good
brandy and dissolve in it piece of soda the
size of pea. Secure 10 large fresh eggs
Take seven saucers or small dishes and break
four eggs into four of the dishes; into tn,
other three dishes put two eggs each. Now
into the creamed mixture turn one egg will
one tablespoon full of -four and beat the mi xtur,
for five minutes. Treat the four single egg
in this manner, beating the required five min
utes each time. Then add two eggs at time
and after all are stirred in beat the batter II
minutes Put in the brandy, the juice of TIT
lemon, and then the prepared rasins. and bea
10 minutes longer. Bake this in paper-Iinet
and well .buttered cake tin.
This cake should require two hours to bake
but the exact time cannot be given, as much de
ponds upon the oven, which should not be to-
hot at first, and should grow hotter as the cak
bakes. Always place loaf of cake to the ca
when testing it to see if it is done. So long a
a cake "sings" it is not ready to be tax e,
