to be of the shirt-waist material has o hard
time. The linen collars are pretty enough ex-
cept that it seems odd to wear white collar
feature of this white collar fad is that shirt.
waists are made Of fine sheer lawns topped with
the heavy and most inappropriately stiff collars.
For the swiss and organdie waists one really
ought drop the name "shirt-waists and the
stiff collars. Call them waists or bodices or
blouses, and wear ribbon collar with them.

Pretty shirtwaists are made of gray ecrus,

A cheap but very palasable soup is made of
potatoes, and it is looked upon with great favor
in the palace as we'll as the cottage. To make
this soup boil six large potatoes. When they
are cooked add large tablespoonful of butter
to them and beat them until they are light and

over the fra in double boiler; add ono small
onion cut in half and two stalks of celery cut
in small pieces. Measure one tablespoonful of

milk, and add this to the boiling milk. When

pepper and cook five minutes. Then stir in
one cup Of hot cream and strain the soup into
heated tureeu. Sprinkle chopped parsely
over the top of the soup.-New York SUM
