At a recent luncheon boiled aspara-
gus tips, seasoned with salt, pepper,
butter and lemon juice, were served in
cases made from thick rounds of bread.
The bread was cut about the size of a
large biscuit and about an inch and
half thick. The center of the slices was
scooped out and the cases were fried
a golden brown in deep fat. Asparagus
tips, drained, seasoned and folded in
an omelet are nice for luncheon or
breakfast. The tips should be hot, and
a cupful that is left over will be suffi-
cient for the omelet The remnants of
a roast of veal and a couple of aspar-
agus tips also make very good lunch
con or supper dish. Cut the veal in
small pieces as for chicken salad. Mix
the yolks of two hard boiled eggs with
a tablespoonful of butter and add two
gills of milk When you have smooth
sauce add the veal and asparagus, stir
gently until heated and season to taste
with salt and pepper.
the center piece was a large mat of
plumCse and white sweet peas resting
on a round table mirror. In the center
of the mat there was large white satin
sachet bag, from which there over
flowed many choice white roses. Small
er sachet bags Of white, tied with green
ribbons, that held a large bunch of
white sweet peas, were at each cover.

A convenience designed for country
houses, where no ice is to be had, is a
large covered pail lined with charcoal.
In this pail, il kept in a cool place,
water is said to remain as fresh and
cool as if just taken from the well.
Mrs. Helen Dawes Brown, who is not
only an educated woman in broad
sense, but has thought much about the
education Of others, looks with more
favor upon conferences between parents
and teachers after school hours, as a
means of acquaintance and mutual
help, than she does upon school visiting.
OF the latter she says in the Outlook"
'Smitten with self most
children will not behave or recite natu
rally in the combined presence Of
mother and teacher. Visitors distract
the attention of class, waste time, and
embarrass the teacher"

A new banana pudding vouched for
by Mrs. Lincoln, and delicious as she
said it would be, is made in the follow
ing way: Peel six bananas and cut
them in halves lengthwise and cross
wise Put layer of the fruit in bak
ing dish, sprinkle well with sugar and
lemon juice and q tablespoonful Of
melted butter. Add another layer Of
the fruit ana treat it in the same way
as the first Bake about fifteen minutes
In a quick oven. When slightly cool,
cover with a merinque Favored with
lemon juice.
If the face becomes badly burned
through wheeling in a high wind rub
it with olive oil and vaseline, or cover
the face with cloths dipped in warm
water containing bicarbonate of soda,
which is both healing and cooling.
The hearts of lettuce heads, tender
radishes and sliced, stoned olives make
an appetizing vegetable salad. Cut the
radishes in thin slices and the olives
iE the same way, only lengthwise in
stead OF across. Dress with French
dressing seasoned with paprika and
salt. The olives may be omitted and a
few slices of Bermuda onions used in
their place.
English walnuts boiled with slice
of onion, a bit of mace and a bay leaf,
will be found an excellent addition to
the flavor and nutriment of a potato
salad. Blanch the nuts after cooking
eight minutes.
To add to the general confusion of the
modern and antique in present fashions,
designers are at this moment expert
menting on double-skirted effects which
the Empress Eugene introduced in her
day of glory The fashion began by a
trimming placed on the skirt to stimu-
late an overdress, and this is what we
are now threatened with. We already
see the overskirt outlined by rows of
OF lace or Of the dress material, but
whether the genuine double skirt be
adopted is matter now discussed along
with the question of the again threat
ened hoopskirt and it's first cousin, the
wire hustle or French tournure.
In not few cases the gloves and shoes
this season match the costume. With
some of the cream white and many of
the tan or russet costumes designed for
va ariouS uses, boots or shoes of leather
or kid Of some description appear en-
suite Gloves this summer will more
| frequently match the gown than they
have done of late, the white and tan
colors being less of a universal livery.
| Swedish kid seems, however, still to be
| preferred to the dressed French glove,
and with costumes of fawn, gray, tan
or russet brown, the gloves in Suede
will match the material, and often the
shoes, although many of the best
/ dressed women prefer a very fine pill
able French kid shoe in jet black to all
| the possible novelties in footwear that
fashionmakers and moneymakers pro-
vide.
| Next to the large Jacque rose and the
violet, the very popular flower of the
moment is the poetic narcisse, called
most often the daffodil 1t will. on ac-

summer-first as a genuine blossom,
afterwards as an imitatio or. in defer
