fair to be very popular, if variety III

be set forth as q recommendation
They are woven In checks and in vari-
Gus small patterns with two colors,
blue and white and green and ecru in
contrast. or with three or more colors
mixed in one design. with c~hangeable eff
feet. and they range in price from SIZE
to $3.50. but they are all of double width.
The material which is to supersede Gre
pom is a silk and wool barege, and one
quality, which is very thin, almost like
a silk grenadine. is called 'barege im-
prime"
This comes in both light and dark
%colors. with scroll designs on the black
grounds and lowered patterns on cream
and ecru tinted grounds. 1t is soft and
pliable, like challie, and especially charm
ing in the light coiors. The new challiesi
are patterned very nearly like the China
silks. and the prettiest designs show a
satin stripe the color of the ground.
The general effect of coloring and de-
sign among the new wool stuffs for hack
about gowns is not materially different
from last season. but time has developed
a greater variety. There are checks, hair
line stripes and mixtures of all sorts
among the Scotch goods, cheviots and
tweeds and smooth-faced cloths in light
weight. Serges and double
will be worn as much as ever. The
broken checks predominant, and they are
more serviceable than the plain colors for
ordinary wear in anything but serge,
| which is about the most satisfactory ma
terial there is.
In the March Ladies Home Journal
Mrs. s. T. Rorer, in telling how to Try
the small fish, quotes the old saying
Small fish should swim twice-once in

ARE, perhaps, more palatable fried than
boiled. Small fish may be stripped-that
is, the intestines may be pushed out un-
der the gils. so that the fish may retain
their shape. Wash and dry, then dust
with salt and pepper, dig in egg and roll
in br~eadcrumbs, or they may be rolled in
oornmeal. Have ready a good-sized pan
with sufficient oil to cover. Put the fish
in a frying basket. then into the oil at a
temperature of $500 Fahrenheit, and cook
for about five minutes. Drain IN brown
paper and serve. Where a small quantity
of fat is used. and the fish cooked on
one side and then turned and cooked on
the other, the method is really not fry
ing-it Is sauteing; the result is much
more indigestible thai real frying. Cat
fish are frequently fried in this way with
out being dipped in crumbs. Sunfish
may be rolled in flour or cornmeal and
carefully fried in dripping, oil or lard.
A mixture of dripping and lard makes a
better frying material than lard alone. A
pure vegetable oil is freer from danger
of disease germs than either. Never use
butter for frying fish; it boils at a low
temperature, consequently burns quickly;
the butyric acid softens the fibre of the
fish, destroys the favor, and causes it to
become soft as soon as taken from the
pan."
81 seem to have indigestion, doctor"
How often one hears that complaint from
people who lead s~edentary lives, and par
t~icularly where many lonely women do
Eight Housekeeping
One of the very surest ways of acquir-
ing digestion is to eat alone. Fast eat
ing is the next prerequisite, n the two
taken together are : a sure recipe for
chronic indigestion. If it is possible to
compass 1t never sit down to- a meal
alone. Better go without. Pleasant COM
partnership and sprightly conversation
will make a feast of a sandwich and a
cup of coffee. People who eat alone are
not usually careful about the quality of
their viands, and only require that they
be filling"
One of the crimes against good health
is fast eating, and this Is one of the
principal reasons why eating alone is so
very bad. One gets into the anabi of
gulping down ones food so as to get
through quickly.
With companfonshfp, there Is usually
pleasant conversation. that eases the tir-
ed mind, and gives the system a enc
ally relaxed condition, which is quite es-
sential to good health.
Serge is much IN favor even for visiting |
costumes, but is made up so deliberately
as to hare naught but it's name in COM
mon with the serge suits which are al
ways for sale winter and summer.
One o has a skirt trimmed with
rows of narrow black soutache braid, put
ON in clusters, seven rows together. and
then a wide pac and again seven rows.
The waist has a fun vest of scarlet vel
vet, over which is real guipure lace. The
bias collar is of red velvet, revers in
front, which are trimmed with five rows
of the braid, and the same braid is put
on the back of the Jacket to give a bolero
effect.
The red velvet and gufpure lace seem
certainly i-ncongruous with ordinary blu
serge, but the fashion was that of a
Partisan artist, and the costume was
smart and chic to the highest degree.
