bicycle Costumes.

The New York Sun says: So far from
being immodest the special bicycle Co.'S
tunes Of which the so general use Of the
wheel by women has caused the fash
ioning are both modest and suitable.
They are also becoming. Moreover, they
are tending to change in the outdoor
dress of women which is altogether de-
sirable. The bicycle is producing a
dress reform demanded by good sense
which otherwise would have been long
delayed. Women are learning the con-
venience of shortened skirts for wear
outdoors and in business occupations.
They are getting accustomed to them,
and the novelty which once attracted
unwelcome attention to such costume
has passed away. Women have discov-
cred, too, that the dress can be made
very becoming, more especially to young
and graceful figures. Pretty girls in
pretty bicycle costumes are wonderfully
pretty to lock upon as they stand by
their wheels or walk about in the inter
walls of rest from riding.
Neither is there anything in their APP
pearance which indicates that they are
suffering from the physical ills attribut-
ed to the use of the bicycle by writers
at loss for something to say that will
attract attention. They look strong,
hearty and vigorous and seem all the
better for the exercise. They have ac-
quired a new freedom Of movement
which is graceful in its naturalness.
Nothing in recent times has done more
for the desirable advancement Of wom-
en- than the bicycle.

FRUIT FOR WINTER USE.
A Method of Canning Described In Good
Housekeeping.

There arc two distinct methods of
preparing fr1it for inter use-canning
and preserving. Both have their advo-
Gates and merits. A knowledge of each
is necessary where much fruit is to be
prepared, as some fruits are best canned
and others best preserved. Old house
keepers who are used to preparing fruits
pound for pound" look sometimes
with disfavor upon the newer method Of
canning, which requires less sugar and
more cooking and keeps the fruit more
nearly in its natural shape. Perfect jars
must be used, both for canning and pre-
serving, and great care must be taken
in sealing them SO that they are per-
fectly alright. The fruit must be Of
the best, the strip of right proportions
and boiling hot and the Jars filled to
the brim.
To can fruit, pack it in jars Make a
strip of sugar and water, using the
proportions for different fruits given be-
low. Fill the jars three-quarters full
with boiling strip. Put the covers on
without rubbers and do not screw them
tight. Place the jars, resting on rack
or bits Of porcelain, in boiler Of tepid
water, which should reach nearly up to
the necks of the jars. When the water
begins to boil, allow time for cooking,
according to the table given latcr. Take
out the jars, remove the cOvers and fill
to the brim with extra boiling hot
strip. Put on the rubbers and screw on
the covers as tightly as possible. If the
jars are turned bottom upward after Sc
curcly scaling them, an imperfect one
will betray itself by allowing drops of
juice to escape.
Pint jars with wide necks are con-
veniCEt to use, as pint Of fruit is usu-
ally enough for one serving in a small
family. If the strip gives out, use boil
ing water to fill the jars, so that all air
may be excluded. Canned fruit should
be opened an hour or more before serv-
ing, so that the air may penetrate it. In
addition to the foregoing Good House
keeping gives the following useful rules
for quantities and time:
The amount of sugar to a quart jar of
ounces, 10 ounces; peaches, ounces;
Bartlett pears, 6 ounces; small, sour
pears, wECle, ounces pineapples, 8
ounces; crabapples, s ounces; plums, s
ounces.
Use one cupful of water to each quart
Of small, juicy fruit, and two cupfuls
Of water for large fruit. Make little
extra strip with which to fill up the
jars. Boil plums II minutes; Bartlett
pears (halvos), 20 minutes; small pears
(whole), 30; peaches (halycs), TO-;
peaches (whole), 20; pineapples (sliced),
10; crabapples (whole), 25.

Improvement in the character Of the de-
signs of the present day over those Of 20
years ago. There is more grace, to begin
with. More care is used in the character
of the outlines, and good construction is
the first consideration-no more glued
on" ornaments Of impossible form and
construction, and, as a matter Of course,
results are much more satisfactory both
to the manufacturer and buyer. Deco
rator and Furnisher, the authority quot
ed, illustrates a number of popular and
artistic styles.

A FREEBOOTER AND HIS EMBLEMs.

and yet working without sanction Of
any recognized government. The last of
the buccaneers who scourged this coast
was Sir Henry Morgan, another Eng
lishman, but who was not knighted I'M
til after he had won his spurs by de-
stroying few Spanish cities and muir
dering few thousand of their inhabit-
ants. He started out in life as a COM
mon sailor, joined the buccaneers Of
Jamaica and began his career by attack
ing and sacking a city of the Spanish
main. 1t was the city Of Puerto Bello,
AS it was strongly fortified it made des-
perate resistance, but finally capitulated
and was given up to fire and sword.
Over across the sea channel from here
lies the little Dutch island of Curacao,
which has one of the finest harbors in
the world, with narrow entrance and
with big, sheltered lagoon behind high
hills, we'll out of sight. All the navies
of the globe might find shelter here,
and in this lagoon the pirates used to
lie in wait for the Spanish galleons,
coming up from the coast of Venezuela,
bound for Spain with their rich cargoes
of silver and gold. In fact, the entire
stretch of coast known as the Spanish
main has at some time been the scene
of conflict between the Spaniards and
the pirates.
There are no wars here now, nor ru-
mors of war, for the president is ruling
wisely, yet with an iron hand, and as
the country is getting accessible by
means of the railroads projected and
built by German and English capital
there is constantly less danger of a
revolution. A fine road leads from this
port into the country and around to-
ward Caracas, the first portion of which,
up the slopes of the hills, is by the cam
and coz system, like that used on the

Table Decorations.

At rose dinner the table was orna-
mented with low pyramid of red roses
in the center; sprays of the same flowers
were scattered carelessly over the table.
For the last course d rosebush was
brought around and each guest took
rosebud, which proved to be formed of
very palatable ices and creams. Soft
tulle loosely thrown over some contrast
ing color Of silk or satin often forms the
mat for the center of table. Green
tulle over pale satin, the edge outlined
with delicate ferns and tall cut glass
vase in the center filled with white
sweet peas and ferns, looks very dainty
and refreshing.

A NEW MAKE OF FEATHER FAN.

still bestows itself conveniently into the
handbag, and if its breezes be small,
so, as a rule, is its price. In paper COW
erings of japanese manufacture and de-
sign one finds it from cents to 20
cents, and in less perishable form, with
plain colored cloth, without decoration,
at 80 cents; stamped in flower designs
at 65 cents, end again, hand painted,
at 81.
OF the larger size, claiming no special
period as its own, one finds large as
sortment Of pretty japanese fans; the
wooden sticks are largely stained to
match the predominating color Of the
background or painting Of the upper
portion Of the fan. A lacing Of cord on
the outer sides of the fan is by no means
novel but a very pretty addition. The
price of we'll made japanese fan is 81,
although one can purchase one at half
and even quarter that price, Of good
quality and pretty appearance. Another
dainty make of fan is thin gauze cover
ing. Spangles are much used in the or
namentation of fans
Paintings on the gauze, of odd shaped
medallion pictures Of the empire period
with spangles outlining the picture, are
very dainty; price, 5000. Tortoise
shell sticks are used in the mounting Of
some white fans with very striking ef-
feet Among the more elegant and ex-
pensive fans one again finds the paint
ing of the empire date mounted with
white ivory or highly polished pearl
sticks; the price is $50. One with inlaid
border of gold on the pearl, quite large
in size and very exquisite as to paint
ing, is $50. Lace fans are, as rule,
conspicuously absent, according to
Vogue, authority fer the foregoing.
A new make Of fan numbered among
recent importations and likely TO prove
popular during the winter season for
dress occasions is composed Of ostrich
feathers. The novelty introduced con-
sists in a triple tip peeping over the top
at intervals and adding decidedly to
the general effect

a good sized cucumber, a quarter of a
pound of butter, q teacupful of milk, q
glass Of white wine, pinch of mace,
pepper and salt to taste, teaspoonful
of chopped scalded parsley are the re-

in halves and boil until rather soft,
When done, remove from the water and
put aside till cold, then peel carefully
and cut into dice. Now remove all the
meat from the lobster and cut it up into
small pieces, taking out also all the soft
eatable parts and the coral. Then put
the milk into lined saucepan with the
butter, mace and parsley. When this is
quite melted, add the whole Of the lob
ster, stirring it until it is thoroughly
Incorporated. Let it simmer for about
five minutes, when throw in the cucum-

just before serving. The dish into which
the mince is poured should be very hot.

pie affairs are made in holland, twill
and other good washing material; also
of washing silks.
A useful and knockabout frock suited
to child between and 6 years of age
is made like simple smock, with the
top part, back and front set in multi
tude Of very small tucks, from which
the rest of the material falls in unre-
strained folds. The hem is prettily fin
ished with two tucks, below which fall
two narrow frills of the linen. The
sleeves are made in one large puff, with
a deep cuff of tucks and gathered frill
of the material at the wrist. The neck
is also finished with tiny plating Of
the same. The design is made to fasten
all down the back with small pearl but
tons and buttonholes.
A frock adapted to q little girl be-
tween and 10 years Of ege, and the
acme of simplicity, is cut with slightly
gathered back and front, the fullness
Just being sufficient to redeem it from
scantiness, falling from plain yoke
and Joined with narrow piping The
neck is finished with turnover collar,
and the sleeves are Of the bishop pattern
put into a narrow cuff. The waist is
encircled with sash inches wide and
20 yards long. The skirt is redeemed
from too much plainness by three tucks
placed at intervals Of about inches.
In decided contrast with these simple
designs are the dresses worn by New
York girls of from to 10, which copy
largely the styles for adults. The blouses
of cambria and skirts of serge, so popu-
lar among their mothers, are worn by
the older children. Banded waists are
not only fashionable, but there is a
childish empire style that is becoming
to some.
The petticoat ought to be an object of
attention, especially in the school outfit
Usually the plan is bodice, with skirt
separate, with numerous buttons and
buttonholes. With romping youngsters
this style is often troublesome-buttOns

so to speak, always coming to pieces "
These annoyances are overcome i'll the
combination garment, which provides
waist and skirt in one. A durable, neat
and comfortable garment is in princess

convenient method, for any but quite
