the esq is small in quantity. but rich in
quality. ana The albarnen is in a form
most easily digested. We must bear in
mind, however, that the. egg albumen CO.
agulates at a lower temperature than that

to be easily digested, eggs must be lightly
cooked. A hard-boiled egg. one in which
the white is rendered hard, may be di-
gested by a man Iaboring in the opengair,
but it is unfit for food for the man VINO
works in an Office or shop. or for the per-
son whose digestion is weak. or for chill

The fayorite handle for the smart
silk umbrella is ten inches in length, fiat,
and of pearl, encased in an open frame
work of chased silver. Other handles
are of onyx, chrysodelite or tortoise shell,
made in the form of croquet mallets and
| golf clubs. Beautiful handles. which come
from China and Japan. are of ivory,
handsomely carved. representing odd fig
ures of R~imona-clad Oriental maidens,
men in mushroom hats and boat-shaped
shoes, or birds, fruits, flowers, etc. This
artistic work, of course, brings a very
high price. Some of the best French ar
lists are deSoting their time to painting
china handles, which take a variety of
forms, as well as the crooks n the balls.

tops for the modern ~'para-plui." Gun
metal, with the monogram in pearls or
gold, is extremely stylish and effective,
and this duh, dark metal, when STUDDED
with bright jewels. is also very smart.
Very amusing are the pompon in

1t has been said tina we are not wear
ing capes. This statement should be con-
tradicted, for they are turning out every
day pretty p%elerines of fur and also ele-
CANT affairs for visiting and the evening.
For the present moment they are wear
ing, above all, simple capes of beige cloth.
There is a very general impression that
hen-turkeys are better than gobblers, but
such is not the case when the birds are
under a year old; until that age is past

finely Favored than the hen, says the

twelve pounds Getty dressed) do they be-
gin to be fine. In small towns. where
they are properly dressed-drawn, with
head and feet removed-ten pounds would
mean the same. Be sure YOU bird is
young. Avoid those that are yellow, fat,
with rough legs and hard spurs. One
heavy for its size, of a blue cast, smooth
legs, soft, only budding spurs, flexible
end to breastbone, and skin easily pierced
between the finger nails, is the bird you
want. Whatever dressing you use
(oyster or chestnut is best) do not have it
too moist, and do not fill the turkey
more than two-thirds full, otherwise you
will have a soggy, solid, indigestible
mass as a result. The baking or roast
ing must be a long and slow operation
after the first browning, and if the pa
tent covered baking pan is not used, an
ordinary dripping pan must be used as
a cover. The basting must be frequent
every fifteen minutes-and thorough if
you would AVE the meat juicy. -Four
hours is about the proper time for a
fourteen pound turkey in a moderate
oven. When served, your turkey is
right if of a dark, rich brown all over,
without a suggestion of scorch, juicy in
appearance, and though whole, ready to
fall apart at a light touch of the carver.
Before placing in the oven rub all over
with good butter and dredge heavily
with fiour seasoned with pepper and salt.
The basting should be melted butter and
hot water or stock.

The season of the little dinner is with

with a very small amount, indeed, in coin
OF the realm, has made a thorough sue

First of all. she says, consider your

ability. Serve but three courses, if you
like, and nave three perfect in every par

Speaking of skirts, a woman on a sub
urban road made unique use of a silk
lining last week.
She had yielded to fashions pressure
and lined her gray tailor made gown with
vivid scarlet. The train only stopped at
their landing by a certain signal. She
and a friend wanted to go to town. The
signal had been forgotten. The train was
coming. The woman with the red lining
rushed TO the track and, raising up her
skirt. Haunted with vigor the acknowl-
edged danger signal.
OF course she got on the train. AS she
was the daughter of a director, her sceld-
ing was quashed.

They belong together. and are made Of
the same materials. A beautiful sash of
this description is made of finest glisten-

quilted black lace. Sashes are also made
of black and white "gauffre," or waffle
