After several Intellectual attempts,
through newspaper appeals and other
wise, to end the big theatre hat nuis-
ance in San Francisco, the managers
of the Baldwin theatre hit upon the
expedient of making personal appeal
to each lady patron. On the opening
night of the season each lady. on en-
tering, received card on which was
an appeal to her good nature not to
needlessly lessen the enjoyment of
other patrons. The plan was sue
cess. All the hats, except the unob-
strusive fiat headgear, were removed,
and the habitues of theatre were de-
lighted. The managers mail has been
crowded with commendatory letters,
among which were not Il few from the
ladies' themselves. "The permanency
of the reform rests with the ladies', ="
one of the managers said. "No amount
of mere Legislation will effect anything
in this matter. Now it may be that
the ladies' were so well pleased with
the experience that they will doff their
hats again aud again, and what was n
novel experiment will become the
fashion. A comparatively few ladies'
may bring about this result; if num-
bef of ladies' well known in society
would take off their hats, others would
do so merely by way of following a
good example-by way,in other words,
of being in the fashion. 1t would he
recognized as a matter of good taste to
remove the hat in the thpntre--W which
it certainly is-and the reform would

The coats and jackets of the hand
soonest tailor made gowns are trimmed
with heavy mohair braid; but it should
be noted that it is put on with re-
straint, never lavishly. The most
frequently repeated motive is to cover
the side forms in the back with two
rows of the braid, close together, which
turn squarely at the top, about quar-
ter of an inch from the armholes, and
Mt the lower end, an inch or two from
the edge, are finished with trefoil
loops; these are left loose, not sewed
fiat. The fronts are usually trimmed
in military style, with graduated rows,
from three to five, and finished in
similar fashion with trefoils. 1t will
be noticed that the skirts of these util-
ity gowns are still, as rule, abso-
lutely plain, as are also those Of many

A considerable sensation has been
caused Mt Cannes by the arrival there
of the Princess Louise of Saxe-Coburg
Gotha, who intends to make months
stay Mt that fascinating spot, and who,
if rumor may be relied upon, has taken
with her as many as 100 hats to wear
during that period She is occupying
half of very large hotel, and it is
said that one whole room has been set
apart for these hats, while two other
salons are devoted to as many as 900
gowns, all of them of the most costly
aud elaborate description possible. No
less than so packing cases were en-
ployed in the transport of these gor-
geous garments, and it is difficult to
imagine how many gowns the princess
must have left behind in Coburg, if
she considers that as many toilettes as
these are necessary for visit of q
month only to the sunny South.

Mayonnaise dressing is made by
Miss Colling, the well-known teacher
of cookery, as follows:
Put the yolks of two eggs into q
cold soup plate, beat or stir moment
with silver or wooden fork, then add
half n teaspoonful of salt, n dash ofcay-
enne, and, If you like it, half tea
spoonful of mustard Work these
well together, then add, few drops
at a time, from half to pint of olive
oil, stirring rapidly and steadily all
the time. Stir only one way, as re-
versing the motion may cause it to
curdle. While adding the oil add also,
occasionally, a few drops of lemon
juice or vinegar. If too thick when
finished, add vinegar or lemon juice
until it attains the consistency You de-
sire. The more oil you use the thick
er the dressing. If the dressing
should curdle, begin again with one
or two more yolks in another plate, and
after stirring well add one teaspoonful
at time of the curdled mayonnaise,
and when all has been stirred in con-
time adding oil as before until the de-
sired amount is obtained. Everything
used in making the mayonnaise dress
ing, dish included, should be ice cold,
especially in hot weather.

Boiled rice e-the substitute for bread
in Eastern countries-is cooked to
perfection in the following way: The
grains are washed again and again,
until perfectly free from all the starchy
matter clinging to them. Water is
then heated to a boiling point and
kept in a perpetually bubbling condi-
tion, and the grains are then carefully
dropped in and kept in a constant
state of action by the volcano-like
bubbling of the boiling water, which
keeps them well astir When single
grain can be crushed between the fin
gers the rice is done, and is then taken
off the fire and drained, being ready
for consumption. A little lemon added
while boiling blanches the rice beauti-
fully, and dish of it thus prepared
is delicious. Each grain lies apart,
and is of snowy whiteness, and its
taste so pure that to add favoring of
any kind would be pity.

What becomes of all the pins? II is
an old question, and one that has never
been answered. Take it in everyday
life. Nobody ever willfully destroys
or throws away n pin. On the con-
trary, all tradition is in favor of care in
preserving these useful little articles.
The connection between good luck and
pins is brought ont by an ancient An
glo-Saxon saw, which runs:
See pin and pick 1t up,
And all the day you'll have good luck
See pin and let II lay,
Bad luck youll have then all the day.
This may he little weak in gram
mar, but the point ia obvious enough.
Every student of household supersti-
tion knows. too, that to come upon n
pin lying with the point toward one
means bad luck, while the opposite end
is an equally potent harbinger of good
fortune Aud so long story might be
made of the romantic and historical as
sociations of the pin, but lest this
prove a tender subject for school-mas-
ters, il may he well to turn to the
more prosaic and practical side of pin
ology.
''Can anything he more simple than
the making of pin?" you say, and
You hold one up to look Mt it. There
is nothing to it except body, head and
point You may be surprised, then,
to learn that this pin in the course of
its manufacture passed through from
ten to sixteen processes, iourneying
from basement to roof of n great fac
tory in which are employed hundreds
of skilled operatives, all giving their
minds and muscles to the task of turn
ing ont so simple an object as the
ordinary pin. And besides the human
workers the industry engages dozens
of different kinds of machines, operat-
ing with the mysterious and almost in
telligent action which makes modern
machinery so highly interesting.

a Much uncertainty exists as to why
the orange blossom has been so much
worn by brides, but the general
opinion seems to be that it was adopted
as an emblem of fruitfulness. Accord
ing to some authorities the practice
has been derived from the Saracens,
among whom the orange blossom was
regarded as a symbol of prosperous
marriage, a circumstance which is
partly to be accounted for by the fact
that, in the East, the orange tree
bears ripe fruit and blossoms at the
same time.-New York Ledger.

In Praise of Parsnip stew.

Tn one of Miss Wilkins's delightful
stories for children she sings the praises
incidentally of parsnip stew. The
dish sounded so attractive to one fam
lily who read the story that it was
promptly tried. A favorite luncheon
dish was thus discovered, and one that
is often called for during these first
spring days. The most satisfactory
recipe found was the following: Boil
three slices of salt pork an hour and a
half scrape five large parsnips, cut
in quarters lengthwise, and add to the
pork boil half an hour longer and
add two sliced potatoes. When these
are soft the stew is ready to serve.-

As the wire is fed into the machinery
it encounters a sharp knife, which
cuts it of into uniform lengths of what
ever size may be desired. As each lit
tie length of wire drops from the knife
it falls upon wheel, perhaps ten
inches in diameter, set upright in the
frame of the machine. The edge of
this wheel is notched into number of
little grooves, each one just large
enough to hold one of the bits of wire
The embryo pins settle into these
grooves and are carried along by the

Sorting the Pins.

Thus far the pins from each Of the
machines have been kept in separate
boxes, as the least variation in size
would iniure their appearance and sell
ing qualities when placed in the papers.
Now, however, if there is any doubt as
to the exact uniformity of all the pins
in each consignment, if any of them
have been bent or imperfectly formed,
they are run through ''sorter." This
curious machine has hopper at the
top from which the pins feed down
through a narrow groove to an aper-
ture graduated to any desired size,
where every imperfect pin is thrown
out, while the others drop out n re-
ceiver, 1t is impossible to get the bet
ter of this machine. Bend pin ever
so slightly, mar the point or head the
least bit and the machine will instantly
reject it.
Next comes the sticking room,
where the pins are mounted on papers,
of dry goods stores. 1t is not so very
long since that this process was per-
formed by hand, but now it is all done
by most ingenious machine. From
the hopper into which the pins are
poured, as wheat is in flour mill,
they pass down into narrow slit,
which holds the pins upright. In In
dian file they move down this narrow
line and at the bottom fall upon a
grooved screw. which rejects all that
are imperfectly formed. The others it
neatly turns upside down, anu leaves
them standing point upward, thirty in
line, in narrow frame.
As the pins enter the sticking ma
chine from one side, the paper, which
has previously been cut into proper
widths, and gilded on the edges, is fed
