GIRLS ARE PICTURESoUE
when Their Mothers Dreaa Them in the
FashIons of This Scnson.

Gowns for mall girls have a place in fashions
chronicle despite their lack OF diversity In
style. so q few little models may furnish a
needed suggestion to those who search the
fashion notes for anything which can help out
the needed variety. All sorts of novelty
materials. with several colors in the mixture.
are made up in children's dresses, and red
camel's hair is especially fashionable this
season. Red is perhaps the prevailing color
since It has the lead in fashion for Erown-up
gowns. and 1t is very much in evidence in all
the trimming. Red velvet. and cloth with rows
OF black braid sewn on for the little vets.
Jokes. collars. and cuffs. are both very much
used. Tucks in various widths make a pretty
youthful decoration for plain wool serge and
~cashmeres. and an example OF this is shown In
a blue serge with six tucks an inch wide around
the skirt The vest is OF white cloth. and the
bodice fastens in the back. where there are
three tucks down either side of the centre.
The blouse front, cpaulettes. and belt are also
tucked. Vests Of fancy silk anu Liberty velvets
are used with the little jacket fronts. and ro-
settes of the silk make a pretty finish.
A slashed waist, over a silk under-b bod ice and
finished with tiny buttons. is another useful
model FOR wool gowns: and red dresses trimmed
with band- OF velvet exactly matching in color
and some tcru lace in the waist are very pretty.
Simplicity is always the safest rule in chill
drcn's attire. but the touch OF bright color is
almost q necessity IN all uark materials. unu
lace in various forms of applique adorns both
cloaks and gowns this season.
Largo cape collars on the little bengaline
clUaks for wee matdens ARE covered with heavy
lace and edged with beaver fur. and fancy EN-
broidery as we'll rs lace covers many a collar
and yoke on tho older girls gown. For dressy
occasions fancy silks in small patterns. alba
tross. and silk and wool Crtpons are used, and
one little model in the latter material of a rose
pink color has n yoke and epaulette caps of
Guipurc lace over pink silk. and the whole gown
is trimmed with black velvet ribbon. Green

Girls under S years OF age are very picturesque
this season when they are dressed in the height
bonnets OF felt. velvet. or shirred silk. so

they cost as high ms $40. The clnaks are made

There's another habit which is peculiarly

dandruif forms, the hair drops out, and some
times. not often, badness follows.
I'm dressing FOR the wheel the hair should be
brushed rs smoothly as possible and put UP SO
that the cap or hat will cover IL to the greatest
advantage. All crimps and curls. though they
are very pretty and becoming, should be avoided
for the sake OF the result, the beauty OF the hair
itself. When the ride is over the hair should
DO tho first attention. Comb 1t out care
fully, part it in the middle, and brush it
for ten or fifteen minutes. This re-
moves the dust and restores the gloss. as
brushing invigorates the scalp and enhances
the natural shine OF the hair. Whenever posi-
BILE. the hair should be allowed to flow loose on
the shoulders for an hour or two after u ride.
Indeed. letting the hair hang on the shoulders
whenever possible is very beneficial. There nre
some ladies in Now York, customers of mine,
who owe their splendid growths of hair TO their
practice of wearing their hair down at night
aud whenever not called out of the privacy Of
their own rooms.
As for a good preparation for restoring the
gloss and silky texture OF the hair. there are
dozens. or course every establishment OF this
kind has one especially manufactured for its
use. But the ono you refer TO is made OF rain
water and sage. The green cage is the best. To
every pint OF this strong tea Il pint OF bay rum
and a teaspoonful OF quinine should be added.
That is the old recipe. and a very good lotion IL

with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and let the
contents simmer ten or twelve minutes. Turn
them into a dish and sprinkle with parsley.
Another way Of stewing kidneys is thus: Cut
the kidneys into inch pieces or thin slices and
let them stand in cold water thirty minutes:
then drain them aud put them into a saucepan
with half an onion. n bay leaf. and one quart Of
water. Place the pan where the liquid will just
simmer for two hours. Put u tablespoonful OF
butter into n small pan and set /: over the fire.
When the butter Is melted stir in a spoonful OF
-four and stir It until II becomes brown ard
frothy. MOisten II with a couple of spoOnfuls
from the kidney liquid aud when all are thor
oughly mixed turn the mixture into the kidney
mixture. Season highly with salt and cayenne
pepper and favor with sherry. Remove the
heated dish and serve.
For broiled kidneys, remove the thin skin
from the kidneys, soak them In clear water half
an hour, and wipe them with u soft cloth and
split them into halves. Season them with salt
and pepper. dip them into melted butter. and
roll each piece in flour. Rub Il double brOiler
with butter, place upon it the prepared kidneys,
and broil them over a clear fire. Place the kid
neys upon n hot platter. turn n little melted but
ter upon them, sprinkle chopped parsley over
the top. and garnlsl tho dish with sliced lemon.
An excellent dish is kidneys broiled in
crumbs. Prepare the kidneys and cut them into
slices half an inch thick; soak them in cold
water half an hour, drain them ard sprinkle
them with salt and pepper. D!u each piece into

Kidneys, If properly prepared, make q par
ticulnrly nice dish. Beet, veal. and lamb kid
noys are used. and may be purchased for a small
sum. Lamb kidneys are tho most delicate.
kidneys can be served iu n variety of ways,
and thus are Of great assistance to the house,
wife In making up her daily menu. They re-
quire TO DO cooked very slowly, and too much
cooking will tougher them.
For a plain kidney stew, thoroughly wash the
kidneys and cook them slowly in plenty of wa
ter for about half an hour. Remove them from
the water, rinse them in cold water, and put
them into a saucepan with fresh water enough
TO well cover them, and slowly cook them until
the meat is tender. Let the kidneys remain In
the LIQUID until they are thoroughly cold. Take
them out with a skinner and cut them into
inch square pieces. Put them back into the
same liquid, add a little butter. salt, and pepper,
a dash OF mace. and a teaspoonful OF chopped
parsley. Put the pan over the fire and thor
oughly heat. Servo with toasted crackers.
For stewed kidneys. take nice fresh kidneys,
remove the thin skin and tho white centre,
wash them, and soak them In weak salt and
water for an hour. Then cut them into half
inch slices and roll each slice in flour. Melt
some butter in a fryingpan, and when it is hot
nut in the Toured kidneys and brown them ON
each side. stir in half a cup of good stock. or
water will answer II no stock is at hand, aud let
1t simmer fifteen minutes. Season with salt
and paprika and add two teaspoonfuis of mush-
room catsup or Worcestershire sauce and the
juice OF half a lemon. Turn them over squares
OF buttered toast.
For kidneys stewed in wine. prepare the
kidneys and cut them into round slices one
quarter of an inch in thickness and roll them in
flour. Set a fryingpan over the fire and put in
the kidney slices and a good Tablespoonful of
butter. When one side OF the slices is Drowned
turn them and brown the other side, adding
more butter II needed. Add two gllls Of sherry
