1t would be very little trouble TO pre-
pare crabs In these three ways for a
supper. for the deviled crabs so into the
wen to brown while the crab cakes are
frying on top OF the stove, and the salad
could be made and set aside earlier still.
A Maryland way is put a piece Of butter
In the hot PAM. let it melt q few min
utes; put in the crab meat n let it
cook till a brown crust forms on the
bottom. and then turn it out on a plat
ter and garnish with parsley.
1t is good. too.
l was strongly impressed by a nov
plan put into execution at a friend s
house. where l happened to stop for a
short time. l discovered it through an
accident which happened to my hostess
little daughter, who had been severely
stung by a bee. Instead of the usual
tearing maGly around in search of some
thing to relieve the pain, the little suf-
ferer was carried into the storeroom,
where on the wall hung a huge card
with the title ''Accidents.' It hung upon
the wall like a map. AT the top was
printed in big letters what to do and
how to do 1t.
AT the bottom was the name and adj
dress of several good doctors to be call
ed in if the case warranted it Between
| followed a list of accidents or diseases
thai are suddenly developed and COM
mon among children, ana what to do for
them.
The first on the list was bites in plain,
large letters to the left OF the card. Be-
low this, and to the right, were written
in a large hand the remedies.
Then followed the other things written
in the same way. so that the list of all
ments and accidents stood out clear and
plain, and could be read at a glance.
| Among them were broken limbs, bruises,
burns. fainting, commissions, Group, cuts,
fits, falls, nose bleeding, poisons, scalds,
s~prains, substances in the eye. nose, etc.
Beside the card hung a big box fasten-
ed to the wall, containing all the RENE
dies needed-bandages, linen thread. cord,
needle and thread, pins, court plaster,
! absorbent cotton and lint.
The idea filed me with admiration.
Who but a woman could have thought
of so simplifying affairs? When an ac7
| cident does occur everyone is apt to lose
his head and can neither recolleet RENE
dies nor where to find them. By means
| of this arrangement the most ignorant
| or inexperienced can do the proper thing
and help until the doctor can be called.
One of the favorite combinations of
the moment is navy blue and vivid grass
| green. says an observer of fashions In
ssToilettes." The dresses are made in
| g~renadine or ladies cloth, with a soft
| and silky surface; or of double cashmere,
and the green appears in the closely
| pleated chiffon ruches and the belts.
Vivid red assimilates with white; white
serges are worn with red pouched bodices
over white gathered yokes; and white
sleeves and entire red dresses are the
| mode. The new rose silk, shot with
white. shows admirably when killed; in
deed, some of the bodices made of it
| nave three Killed frills for ~epaulets to
| the sleeves, and falling oblong pieces in
| front, which recall a Henri jacket.
Lace trimmings and insertions are to
be further elaborated by the threading
of ribbon through the meshes, and some
of our new skirts are adorned with sew
| eral rows of guipure insertion, threaded
( by velvet ribbon, the ribbon being tied in
| rosettes on each seam.
Fashion continues to care for violet
| and pink in all their scales; especially
is this the case for hats. Bleuet of a
different shade than the one of later
| years is also greatly used. Flowers,
loads of flowers, trim all the hats. The
latest novelty is to have a wreath OF
roses, quite voluminous in size, to be
worn slightly toward one side in Vatican
style.

with one white afternoon frock, provided
it is prettily made, and you have a suf-
fcient variety of sashes. colored ribbon
| belts and ribbon-and-lace collar bands
with which to ring the changes. Soft
frills of la~ce-edged lawn. silk mousseiine-
de-soie or gauze are required to tack in
the collar. A great deal can be done by
means Of ribbon bows. Ribbon strape
with finals of small bows are used
| on bodices, both front and back. Some
sash belts are tied with long ends at
| the left side, or with one long and one
short nd. The up inc down bow has its
admirers, but the rosette finish is quite
| as good a fayorite after all.
In spite of the reduced proportions of
a woman's sleeve, one may see an as
tonishing variety of models at any social
| gathering. A few are described.
The sleeves of a light weight wooden
cloth are laid in cross pleats for the
entire length of the arm, with a single
puff over the epaulette.
A cherry-colored batiste has the sleeves
shirred for the entire length of the arm.
The English sleeve entirely of
cream-colored lace over colored silk lining
is used with toilets of black net over
black silk. For lace sleeves the straight,
plain model is not used so much as the
modified leg of mutton. Lace does not
look well strained over a tight lining. o
Cording is much used on dress skirts,
and very often just below the waist.
This plan. while securing the fashionable
close fit around the hips, allows for the
expansion of the skirt below, giving the
effect of a very deep founce. Perhaps
the newest development is the skirt made
with three founces of equal width. one
overlapping the other. the top f1ounce
being put on with the waistband. Most
of the ~fiounces are either tucked on the
lower edge or finished with rows of faflie
have a narrow bias frill at the hem, with
three rows of very narrow black velvet
ribbon at the edge.
