WHAT NOT TO DO.
That Is If You Wish a Reputation
for Being Well Govvned

Don't pin your black hat on with a white
p1n and don't use a heavy f1aring ornate
one. 1t may be the one Earring note in an
otherwise pretty toilet
Don't buy cheap gloves, or if you buy them,
don't wear them ON the street. They always
look their quality and prices and they are
dear at the cheapest.
Don't carry the handkerchief in evidence on
the street in the front of the bodice or stuck
under the belt Formerly handkerchefs were
for show. They are now more generally for
use beside you might lose it.
Don't go on the street with the tail or hem
OF your gown frayed and soiled. 1t Is not an
attractive sight to masculine eyes, and you are
lessening thereby the days of usefulness Of
the gown. Keep your skirt well brushed and
the binding neatly in place.
Don't put up your hair that the end Of
every pin shows. Use as few pins as posi-
BILE and cover the head we'll with the hair
A head glistening or glittering with pins is
not attractive.
Don't wear rubbed or unkempt shoes on the
street, fancying they do not show. They do,
and few moments devoted to sewing on of
buttons and polishing adds very much to
your general appearance Of neatness.
Don't, If you use little touch of makeup,
use it carelessly. careful touch sometimes
improves, but a careless one invites ridicule
or pity.
Don't carry the gloves in the hands. Put
them on. 1t will improve your appearance
and be less trouble. Don't wear them unbut-
toned.
Don't trust to pins to hold things in place.
They often out at unexpected and in
convenient times. Hooks and buttons sewed
firmly are more desirable.

They Are Designed: z-oB Driving and
Travelling Usage.

Driving or travelling coats IRE the order of
the day, both in London and Paris. AS a
suit CT this popular fashion there are many
new and original Designs Most of the Janu-
airy brides have gone eff III sumptuous long
coats. designed especially for them by some
exclusive tailoring establishment and the fad
is sure to hold good through February.
Seldom are these long coats fashionable
in America as they are abroad but the pres
ent styles SO novel and so graceful that
a growOiDg tendency to \wear them may be
noted in smart SETS. What could be richer
for brides going away toilet than the fol-
lowing? The gown was@of ozark blue cloth
with full corsage front Of accordion plated
chiffon and revers Of white satin embrod-
dered in gold. To match was a travelling
coat OF blue cloth lined throughout with
gray quilted silk and trimmed with chinchilla.
Another English going-away costume consists
of dress of pale reseGe faced cloth with
full corsage trent Of pink silk and jabot of
Honton lace. Over this is worn long cloak
of rife green cloth, with collar, cuffs and re-
vers Of asrakhen.
A new model for promenade purposes is
in a long straight redingote design. The
coat is semi-ftting with a fancy yoke,
spreading out into a funnel-shaped collar.
1t may be developed in coors to suit the
taste, but in this case the material is gray
cloth, with collar Of sapphire blue velvet
trimmed with applique of grayish blue
cloth. Collar and cuffs are in bison. The
coat fastens in front with large mother of
pear! buttons.

one. But the new winter and spring
arrangement is decidedly a new de-
parture, and one which we must all
appreciate. What is more disagreea-
bic than bedraggled dress and pet
ucoat? Just the moment they get IN
that condition, they cling to ones an
kles, as If an evil spirit had taken
possession of them for the especial pur-
pose OF creating discomfort. The re-
sult-colds, pneumonia, bronchitis and
all the attendant evils. The rainy day
costume is severely plain; that for win
ter and spring is as pretty and fash
lonable as the most critical mo,tiste
could desire. It has no particular mode
which must be followed, but the style
may be whatever the clever dress
maker will decide or the critical patron
plan. Therefore it may be seen that
at last the time has arrived when
one may be both sensible and fashion
able, not to mention comfortable. Thus
IS new era ushered in, and verify
lame Fashion has Joined in the march
OF progress as a member of the divis
Ion led by Gen. Good Sense.

Unique First Course Dishes New to
Most Cocks.

In one Of lectures on cooking Miss Annie
BaTrows spoke Of fruit soups, which are quite
common in foreign countries, particularly in
Sweden. They are appetiZipg and heaIthful
and offer a pleasing variety from those COM
mon to the American bill Of fare. The one
she made for purposes of illustration was
delicious. For 1t she took one tablespoon
full of raisins, two tablespoonful of raw rice
three whole cloves and one cupful Of dried
apricots which had been thoroughly soaked.
To these added three pints of water.
This mixture cooked for about an hour;
then it rubbed through sieve, and after
wards half a teaspoonful OF salt ard a table
spoonful of pepper were added. The season
ing, Miss Barrows explained would depend
upon the fruit. Apples being much more
acid, naturally would require considerably
more~sugar than the amount used for april
cots.
Something in the way Of salads was
made by combining apples, celery and nuts.
For this dish, the lecturer said, there is
almost unlimited field for the exercise CT ones
ingenuity. There were almonds, pecans and
walnuts in this particular combination;
blanched first and then cut into small pieces.
The apples were pared and cored and also
cut up was the celery. A cupful Of each
was used and over them poured table
spoonful of salad oil, and very little guam
tity Of lemon Juice. After that had stood

To Make H. Summer FrocI<.

Among the suggestions for making summer
frocks it it we'll to note that there is
great fancy for tiny tucks, and one need have
no fear of using too many, especially in the
sleeves ard bodices. Fiounces and ruffles
galore will be seen on all the skirts Of thin
gowns; the bodices are more tightly fitting
terized by groups of tucks and ruff1es of yell
low Valenciennes lace. The sleeves are also
tucked and what with fancy colarettes, the
mating with ruffles, there is no danger but
that the thin frock for the girl Of 81 will
be as charming and as fragile as its pre-
decessors. Three and even four shades OF
color are allowable in these shimmering
gowns. The organdie, in a pearl white
ground, with pink flower clusters. may have
a foundation Of pink with a touch Of cerise
for ceinture and collar. Ribbons from three
quarters Of an inch to an inch will be used
in abundance.

Tutti Frutti (AH Fruits).

This form of ice should always have mix
ture Of fruits as it's name implies. 1t is
usually made by mixing fruits with sherbets
or water ices. But some confectioners serve
Frutti," and others arrange layers of cream
ices and water ices, each having fruit in
them, and serve it under the same name.
To one quarter Of water ice allow half
pound Of any firm canned fruit, carefully
drained from the syrup, cut into dice and
sprinkled with powdered sugar. Make either
Of the receipts Of water ice, and when fro
zen mix the prepared fruit with it and let it

pound Of assorted French fruit, cut fine
and soaked till soft in half a cup each Of
sugar and water made boiling hot. Or use
half fruit and half nuts, almonds, walnuts,
or pistachios. Chop the nuts fine and soak
them with the fruit in the hot syrup. Drain
them before using.

LET THE BABIES CRY.
1t Will Really Benefit Their Health,
Says the Doctor.

That babies ought to cry occasionally is q
fact we'll known to doctors, but one which
seems to be very much against the creed
of mothers and nurses The model babies
who never cry are unnatural specimens. Cry
ing is the only exercise young baby gets;
it expands the lungs, causes a better circu-
lation Of the blood, and helps on muscular
growth OF course, fretting when there is
discomfort is to be promptly attended to-,
and screaming (Which might cause rupture)
must not be allowed; but really healthy lit
tie cry, when nothing particular is the mat
ter, save that baby needs that mode of ex-
preston for his pent-up feelings-this is not
a thing to make everybody run and try to
divert the little ones attention or to stop
him, or get out Of the way as If there was a
fire or a runaway locomotive coming.
The noise is not pleasant, but If we were
once assured that 1T was a harmless pastme
for baby, most of us could reconcile ourselves
to it once in while Not at night. If there
is one lesson more important than another
it is that darkness and stiffness go together.
But although the idea may be novel one
there is something to be said in favor Of
little babies being allowed small crying

day, purely upon the grounds of health

itarian theories, nor can the solitary excep-
ton be said to prove the rule. A charitably-
inclined hostess has bethought herself Of n
scheme whereby she can entertain and also
help along her pet charity. She prepared an
assortment of socks, stockings, Tam O'Shan-
tiers, Brownie caps, worsted muffiers. wooden
gloves, scarfs and mittens, and knitted shawls
and made them do duty as german favors
at her dance.
Two large clothes baskets were placed at
the door of the room where the dance was
given, and the recipients were requested to
discard their woolly favors and place Them
in the basket as they left the room.
Next morning. the articles were bundled
up and swept off to make warm some deserv-
ing children and their mothers.

there is anything new about the wealth
er, because, where all kinds Of weather
prevail, there is nothing that can be

the fact to the minds Of those who

notable haunts of fashion no longer

The Cuban Women Patriots.

The women Of the better classes in Cuba
much more ardent in their sympathy
with the revolution than the men, and l am
told by a gentleman who has recently spent
several weeks in Havana that there is scarcely
Cuban woman who is not seriously con-
tributing to the success Of the cause, although
her husband may be indifferently supporting
the Spanish authorities. Many young men
have been driven into the insurgent ranks
by their sisters and sweethearts. 1t is a
common thing for an able-bodied young man
to receive a womans chenise with a sar-
castle note saying: you should wear this
as long as you remain at home and refuse
to fight for Cuba libre."
