their chief duties that of weighing the
household supplies. Dry goods meas

and she have learned to use them, you
will be amazed to see how much you
have been paying for that you havn't

so called-the weighing is very lax.
Butchers claim that the deficiencies in
their weights are all due to the waste
in trimming. Very well, order the

fresher meat, and what you trim of
will often give you nice bits for the

SEVERE on HusRANns.

According to the Massachusetts, Su.
preme Judicial Court husbands can no
longer rule their wives. The Court
says, in rendering a recent decision {:
"By virtue of this legislation mar
ried woman becomes, in the view of
the law, a distinct and independent
person from her husband, not only in
respect to her right to own property,
but also in respect to her right to use
her time for the purpose of earning
money on her sole and separate ac.
count. She may perform labor, and
is entitled to her wages and earnings.
If she complies with the statutory re-
quirement as to recording a certificate
she may carry on any trade or busi-
ness on her sole and separate account,
and take the profits, if profits there
are, as her separate property"
Her husband canappropriate neither
her earnings nor her time, but he is
obliged to support her as in the old
regime. He has few rights left,
though, for, ''to a certain limited ex-
tent, as for example, in fixing the
domicile and in being responsible un-
der ordinary circumstances for its or.
derly management, the husband is
still the head Of the family. New

Edible SnaiIs.

As the German yoarns for his sau
eage ard the Englishman for his beef.
steak, so the FrcnchmaD, in whatever
olime he may be, looks forward TO the
season for snnils. For some senti.
mental reason the land snail novor has
been so widely popular with English
speaking people rs the sen snail, and
this is tho moro noticeable in Eng.
land, where the sea snals known ms
whelks or wrinkles are eaten largely by
the lower classes. It now appears,
however, in this country as if the land
snail were coming into favor, MS the
importations arc said to be increasing
every year, and snails, served in
various ways, arc growing popular for
late suppeis.
As so On ms the first January thaw is
reported in Paris, tho Frencbmeu OF
New York and other largo cities in
this country begin to look out for the
first consignment OF snails. When the
steamer containing tho first shipment
sails, special private dinners are ar.
ranged, principally in tho neighbor-
hood OF University place, to take place
rs soon rs the sDails arc received.
Last year a curious thing happened.
These snails are not common garden
snnils, but carefully selected fellows,
well fed and cared for, which in the
fall are packed in barrels, O layer
being placed at the bottom so that
they quickly seize on the wood, then
another layer, who seize on the shell
beneath them, and so on until the
barrel is filled. Then they are placed
in cold storage of a modified type,
and kept alternating until January.
When shipped they are marked as
snails, and greut care is taken to have
them slowed in a cool part of the hold,
so that they arrive in a normal state.
Last yoar consignment for con.
spicuous downtown restaurant was
reported of Sandy Hook. The regu-
lar guests we're notified that at o Ger.
tain hour the snails would be ready,
and oil preparations were made. When
the casks arrived it was found that
they had been slowed too near the
boiler room, and that all the snails |
were awake and out of their shells, and
conld not be coaxed back into them.
Those put near ice did not go back
into their shells, but Just died. So
no Escargots q la Bourguignonne
could be had, and the snails had to be
eaten IN other ways, New York Sun.

FASHION NOTES.

Empire house gownsare picturesque.
Spangled trimmings are more popu-
lar than ever.
The Marie Antoinette craze seems
already departing.
Imitation pearls are the only neck
jewels worth buying.
Batiste insertions will be seen on
many summer gowns.
Large fowered wells of lace are seen
on some of the new hats.
Sliding chain bracelets Of other
days are seen once in a while.
A large number of tall Spanish
combs are now on view in the hair
dressers' windows.
The reddish.purple duchesse is used
again, and a lighter shade, Ophelia,
that might be styled mauve.
Brown, green, orange, red, cherry
pinks, also coral pink and violet are
pronounced perfectly safe colors for
the spring.
Full chiffon sleeves and plastrons of
the same are worn with round or
pointed waists of plain rose, nauve or
green satin or Dresden silk.
A fur cap is by no means the
abomination OF former years, but
rigged out il lace and flowers is a
genuine bit of Partisan millinery.
A most pronounced feature of the
bathrooms this winter is the ubidui-
tious aigrette, worn, it is safe to say,
by ninety-nine women out of a hun.
dred.
In spite OF the fact that the immense
sleeve has been frowned upon in high
quarters, fashionable women in society
continue to appear in sleeves quite as
voluminous as ever.
Big hats are plentiful in the winters
millinery, and they are sure to i'm.
press by their size and richness, but
the out-and-out wonders of headgear
are really in the small sizes.
Among the hundred and one pretti-
nesses of the winter are adjustable
collars made of velvet, which are cut
into square tabs at the outer edge and
lined with contrasting color.
The plain, tailor-made gown, having
full skirt, and three-button cutaway
coat, under which a pointed vest
shows, will be one of the ready-mads
leaders in light spring cloths of season.
able color.
Moire is a popular trimming ma
terial. Moire ribbons trim skirts from
waist line to hem, and are made into
rose ruchings to trim over the
shoulders and down the sides of the
front of the belt.
A pretty new fashion, which has
been shown on several of the lately
imported evening dresses, is a deep,
square yoke, cut round on the neck,
the yoke being made of n different ma
terlal from the rest of the gown.
The indications are that the skirt
and coat style will continue in favor
for ordinary walking, shopping and
travelling costumes, and that mohairs,
cheviots, English tweeds and serges
will be the fabrics used for these.
Among the popular ideas in skirts
are the five box plaits at the back.
The skirts are cut on very much the
same plan as those heretofore worn,
but all of the fullness is laid in these
plaits, which are very, narrow where
they are attached to the belt.
