strips of sateen are used of the eXac;
shade OF the silk or linen employed in
outlining. The strips of sateen are
three inches wide, and when the whole
is pieced the blocks have the appear
ance of being set together with ribbon.
A strip of satecn, the same width, is
set all around the edge after the blocks
are pieced, and "A second band is added
of Lonsdale. This latter is worked with
running border in outline.
The cover is now ready to be lined
andquilted. Thelining is of plain Ions,
dale, and the edge is bound with the
same. The quilting is done in what is
known as shell stitch. A group OF
shells is marked in each corner then ii
row of shells is started across one side
and carried across the whole remain
ing surface of the quilt. When ca
blocks are used instead of nine, the de-
sign on each is of course smaller, and
the bands with which the blocks are
set together are narrower. Otherwise
the directions given apply to this as
well as to the quilt Of nine blocks.
The accompanyingi illustration shows
the arrangement of the shells in quilt
ing. The half circles are the size OF
an ordinary teacup.-Amerlcan Agri-

New Design That Is Sure to BE Ad-
mircd When Neatly Eade.
A particularly handsome quilt was
recently made by the women OF a lead
ing church society IN one of our large
cities, and met with so hearty an APP
proval, and was so greatly admired,
that q large number were finished and
sold at SIP each. The blocks were OF
Lonsdale cambria. In some Of The
quilts nine blocks were used, and in
others 25. The blocks were longer than
wide, and their size was calculated ac
cording to the size of the bed, whether
single, double or three-quarters size.
For double bed of ordinary width,
in which nine blocks are used, each
block should be stamped with de-
sign to be outlined. Some may be of
figures, some of flowers, and others in
conventional patterns, but all are to be
OF bold, open pattern, which will
prove much more effective when made
up than u fine or intrinsic pattern
would. Four Of these patterns should
be alike, ard these four used for the
corner blocks. The designs are next
outlined in some delicate color, pale
pink, pale blue or yellow, but all the
outlining is done with one shade. Wash
silk or linen is used, us preferred, the
linen, Of course, proving less eXpen
sive than the silk.
The blocks are next laundered AND
carefully pressed. They are now ready

Creamed Oysters on Half Shell

Pour In a saucepan cupful of hot
water, another of milk and one of
cream; add little salt. Set into q
double boiler until it boils, then stir in
two tablespoonfuls of arrow root or
corn starch wet with milk. BY this
time the shell should be washed and
buttered and a fine oyster laid within
each; clam shells are better. Arrange
them closely in large baking pan. Stir
the cream very briskly and fill up each
shell with a spoon, taking care not to
spill any in the pan. Bake five or six
minutes in a hot oven after the shells
become warm. Serve Immediately.

a writer in the Boston Herald very
truly observes that every man IS, after
all, his own taskmaster, his own monot-

who calls only now and then, lie can

bore who goes to bed with him, gets
up with him, breakfasts, lunches and
dimes with him, and is forever more re-
peating the old chestnut story of
what a fool and failure and sinner
he has been Is now, and will keep on

Berlin is wondering over the marvel
Gus achievements of Otto Poepler, the
son of butcher. He is an infant prodi
gy of the most infantile and prodigious
sort, for he taught himself to read at
the age of 2, and now, though only 4
years old, has been deemed worthy of
presentation to the Anthropological So
ciety of Berlin as remarkable speci-
men of precocious intelligence. His OPP
portuni ties for acquiring information
have been small, and yet, from an atten-
tive study of the few books that have
come in his way and from observing the
inscriptions on the monuments with
which the German capital is rich, the
child has managed to learn an amazing
amount of history and something of lit
erature. He is already interested in
Latin and Greek, and professor who
has been investigating the case says
Otto shows remarkable ability for learn
ing languages. The boy has perfect
passion for reading, but his dislike for
music amounts almost to horror. For
writing he has not yet manifested any
aptitude. He has been taught to make
the first letters of his name, but rebels
at gaining further skill in that line. He
is described as well developed, though
not robust

frillings and founces of lace fall down
ward from the bodice and are held in
place by ornaments.
The po1onaise is anticipated, and the
princess gown is here. Princess gowns
are charming for thin figures, but GER
tainly not for any others. The fear is
that every one will adopt them, and
great will be the failure. Basques are of
all sorts and sizes, and boleros are as
much in evidence as ever. There appears
to be no limit in bodice decoration. Sur
plice effects are observable ON some of
the newest gowns. This crossing over
and one sided effect is at least a change
from the vest.
The tailor made costume is an i'm
portant one for early spring, and, while
some of these costumes are more or less
trimmed, many of them depend on a
fancy vest for their chief decoration.
The popular style is made with coat
of some sort and two or more vests, one
dressy and the other plain. A pleasing
tailor suit is made in striped cheviot,
the ground blue, the stripe white and
the newest cut in coats lined with red
satin. The tan red spotted vest is double
breasted, showing only a limited
amount of shirt. A useful day gown in
chestnut brown face cloth has the bodice
draped across to the left side and is
trimmed with narrow bands or pipings
of brown velvet. The close fitting sleeve
is similarly trimmed, as are the two
front seams of the skirt

way that the spirit of novelty INDUCES tt
self with respect to cloth gowns. The
skirts also are sometimes cut open over
panels of another color, and the slashings,
plain or fantastic in shape, are bordered
by gallOon or braid.
The bodice, showing some variation of
the prevailing styles of bolero and corselet
Or wide belt, nevertheless is resuming q
tendency to repeat the effect seen in the
skirt by it's ornaments and their DISPOSE
ton.
Grays, vio1ets and a great variety of
green's are seen in the most fashionable
cloth costumes. The trimmings of white
EN- broidered cloth or of silk with applica-
lions of yellow lace are particularly effect
i've ON the gray greens which are the new
est. Buttons figure largely in these gowns.
They are big. medium sized and small and
may be found to match in all three sizes,
which allows for diversity of ornament on
the same costume. Straps of cloth, much
employed on both skirts and bodices, de-
mand buttons as a matter of course. Paste,
chased and wrought metal and enamel
have the same success as formerly, and
there are also horn and pearl buttons. 1t
is question of Judgment to select for the
style and quality of the gown the buttons
which are most suitable. The elaborate
ones are out CT place on simple costume,
and the pearl and horn ones do not har-
monte with lace and silk revers.

BALL GOWN,

shellac and alcohol, which is applied to
the back and allowed to dry. Stamens and
flower middles of all sorts can be bought
by the bunch, and some stiff wire, as well
as the fine kind for winding, Will be re-
quired. Petals may be curved by drawing
them over knife, and the heated point of
the knife will serve to vein the leaves.
Evening capes for young girls are COM
paratively short and afford very slight pro-
lection for bare arms and shoulders Long
capes are much safer for cold weather
wear. 1t is said that the fur Innings now
SO fashionable are not suitable wear for
delicate persons, as they overhead the skin
and render il moist, so that when the cape
Is removed a chill ensues. Wadded silk or
satin is preferable, fur being reserved for
the trimming of the outside.
A great deal of velvet is worn for formal
toilets; also broche silks having change
able effect in either the ground or the fig
ures. The most fashionable color at pres
ent is perhaps green for both hats and
gowns. Mauve, violet, blue and red, green
and red and blue and green are also liked.
Today's sketch shows a ball gown of
rose satin. The skirt is plain. The point
ed bodice has square decolletage and is
trimmed in front with drapery of white
silk gauZe with rose spots. A garland of
roses outlines the lower edge of the drapery.
Another garland edges the back of the de-
colletage and passes over the shoulders.
The short, pulled sleeves are of rose spotted
gauze. A rose is placed at the left side Of
the waist. JUDO CHoLLET.

WHAT WOMEN WEAR.

Extremes in color, violent contrasts,
startling effects, are frequently seen in
dresses made specially for wear at places
of amusement.
A new cape is made of velvet and
MORE. The round yoke is fitted smoothly
over the shoulders From this the cape
proper extends below the waist line.
A stylish walking costume of cloth
has satin ribbon put on in scallops all
around the lower edge of the skirt.
These scallops are about the size Of
small tea plate.
In making up waists of india silk it
is the sheerest waste of time and ma
terial to buy cheap qualities. They
scarcely pay for the time expended on
them and are never satisfactory.
Collarettes and neck dressing of vari-
Gus sorts are universally worn. The up
to date woman has a variety of them
and uses all her spare change in supply
ing herself with all of the novelties i'll
this line.
A pretty waist finish is a bolero jacket
trimmed round and round with rows of
gimp, from which fall tiny tassels CT
sequins. The rows are just far enough
apart SO that the drops clear the upper
edge of the next row.
A favorite theater headgear is made
over a skeleton frame and is a sort of
cross between a headdress and a bonnet
There is band over the front, also over
the back, each one covered with flowers,
ribbon or closely curled plumes
A novelty in cape is made of black
velvet lined with ivory and pale blue
brocade. The neck finish is made of
loops of black velvet ribbon SO closely
set that they touch each other at the
outer ends. forming a cape of loops. Up
around the neck stand other loops, max

have been decreed of good omen by the
stars, are worthy of the attention of all
who are about to be married.
Cloth and velvet in combination have
lost none of their prestige. The illustra-
ton given today shows costume of
French blue cloth and velvet of the same
color. The skirt is straight in front and
has three godets behind, the foot being
faced up with velvet, which forms a point
on each side of the tablier- just above the
velvet are applications of black and silver
embroidery, which are carried upward at
the sides to define the tablier. The crossed
corselet of velvet is fastened with silver
buttons. The bolero is of blue cloth, cover
ed with black and silver embroidery, and
the full chemisette is of pale pink silk.
The close sleeves of plain blue cloth are
embroidered at the wrist and have double
caps of embroidered cloth. The blue felt
hat is trimmed with blue velvet and vel
low feathers. JUDO CHoLLET.
