SOME SPRING RECIPES.

In Paris they make what is called the
banana French salad, in which drop or
two OF cologne is given as an extra flavor
ing To make this TO perfection, follow
this recipe: Cut up five or six fine large
and firm bananas into small bits Put
them in a deep glass dish. Make a dress
ing OF the Juice OF the oranges, sugar to
taste, little sherry and add a drop or
two OF Parma cologne. The last ingredient
has subtle and peculiar quality which
gives great body TO the ombnation if Just
tne limited quality is given. French cooks
make frequent use of the cologne, but care
should be taken that the choice brands
should be used. This salad when finished
should stand four hours on ice before SerY-
ing.
For a spring luncheon or dinuer there is
nothing equal TO the following:
Slice four good sized oranges, not over
sweet, in very thin slices. Remove care
fully all seeds and cut each slice into
quarters. Line deep, low salad bowl with
crisp young lettuce-those of the delicate
green-place the orange in the center and
pour over all French dressing made as
follows: Rub both bowl and spoon with
d bit of garlic. Measure out four table

spoonfulof bla Ok pepper. BY ydegreesaddone
ia tablespoonful of taragon vinegar. Stir
vigorously all the while until an emulsion
is formed. Then serve immedia tely. These
ingredients produce most delicate flavor
both to lettuce and fruit.
There is another dish which an

Large hats which sport as many feathers
as the ordinary African ostrich wears in
one day, are much in vogue this spring.
With them are usually worn black lace
wells, edged with white lace, which are
being gotten up in variety OF new
styles.
Fancy waists are sometimes made in the
pattern of coats and jackets. LouisXIV
and Louis XVI both are represented, and
With unconscious anachronism are some
times combined. Very smart are these

their construction are generally brocades or

add greatly to the beauty OF u costume -
and to the expense as well.
