A helpful suggestion is to be well

come, and this bit of moralizing re-
garding certain kitchen practices, is
just as valuable as though it appeared
for the first time in some publication

exclusively to the interests of Bridget

kettle, for exanple-how many cooks
pay any attention TO it? Stale water
simmered, and with all vitality cooked
out, is it's pere nnial portion, with an
occasional filling up and sudden boiling
as the need requires. If every house,
keeper who reads this paragraph should
go straight to her kitchen, lift the ket-
tie, and carry It to the window, where
a strong light will disclose it's interior,
nine out of ten of them will find a rusty
layer of lime, iron and dregs, that eff
fectually prevents any good-favored
water from issuing from it. The ket-
tie needs the same frequent and thor
ough care that any kitchen utensil
needs. Into such, having it already
warm, put fresh filtered water, boil rap
idly, and use at once, and one of the
large aids to pelatable food is secured

One evening bodice of unusually the

Sleeve and the Salvation

COPYRIGHT, 1861

The weeds in fashions garden bour-
geon and bloom without tending, and
the fairest flowers need most constant
care, quite as in ruder fields.
There was last fall peculiar box
coat of English invention, so curiously
ugly that it could not fail to live, as
it has done, and thrive. 1t was the
shape of soap box, perfectly square
down the sides and across the bottom,
which was then cut well down by the
hips. The soap box coat has begun
TO adorn itself, to shine like parvenu
in her diamonds. 1t has grown shorter,
until now it barely clears the waist.
1t was at first designed in strong cloths
for driving and coaching merely, but
now it faunts sleeves of MORE, and
epaulets with broidered edges, and
a machicolated collar and wide plaits
down the front alternating with per-
pendicular strips of MORE or novelty
velvet, or figured lace over satin, or
such gay stuffs; and next it will take
to itself, no doubt, the colors from
which it has thus far refrained, and
we may see it in yellow cloth with
black stripes or pink with salmon, or
red with black or green with red.
And the driving coat of late '95 is
thus become the new spring jacket of
Early '96, with mayhap a career before
it. Blessed be folly!
This is worth noting by way of con-
ISOLATION, that it is indeed an ugly
gown or wrap which a pretty woman
may not wear. to the confounding of
seasons.
