THE MILLINERY.
1t is a pity the authorities waited so
long to bestir themselves about the big
hat 1t is now out of fashion The
Easter hats are small, round and rea-
sonably fiat.
The end and chief aim of a hat, as
everybody knows, is to make people
stare, and now that the size is re-
duced to commonplace it might well
have seemed that all resource was
gone. Not at all. The millinery reser-
voir has a spring at the bottom and it
never dries up.
The novelty is now in the materials.
Imagine a hat of woven horse hair;
imagine again a hat of shirred NOUS
seine de sole, or one of black spangled
tulle. with ornaments of white lace
appliqued on it after the manner of
the gowns. And these are only Speci-
mems. Hats are made of everything
that would have seemed impossible.
and instead of their looking queer one
wonders at the stupidity that never
thought of them before.
For these hats are a great success.
Thus the horse hair, in light green,
is trimmed with a binding of black
velvet three black velvet folds round
the crown, a bouquet of black plumes
with one white one rising toward the
back and white roses and fireworks of
black velvet at the back. The one of
shirred taffeta, silk only in the brim,
is of pale grayblue, with the founda-
ton crown covered with roses in ibis

the length that the skirt is to be and
little more; that is to say, if the skirt
should have u inches in length when
made, make the piece 100 inches square.
Now, if with the finger and thumb you
take hold of this piece at the center and
draw it through the thumb and finger
of the other hand, you will have an in
dicatiOn in gathers of what this skirt
is when it is plated. The plaits begin
at the center and ray out; they begin
at nothing and widen. This plating is
done on a machine, and after it is done
the center is cut out and the edges are
rounded off to suit the individual fig
.ure- This skirt, as will be seen, cannot
be used for all patterns, notably for
stripes and for those that have an up
and down.
While on the subject of skirts it Will
be useful to say that the best practice
now in making a skirt with godets is to
fit the material smooth around the wild
est part of the hips, and from thence
down let il widen into as many or as
few sodets as are wanted, and from
thence up to the belt let the slight full
ness be fitted in with gathers, or with
fine tucks running up and down, or be
shirred down with one or more cords
running around. All these methods of
arranging the top are in use for thin
materials. II goes without saying that
the lining is separate from the outside,
and gored smoothly round the belt.
SOME MODEL GOWNS.
A gown of plaid taffeta in blue and
green covered with black canvas has a

beginning wide at the top and narrow
ing to nothing part way down. A ruffle
of plaid stands al the neck round the
back and a narrow twist of velvet in
assorted color forms the belt. Nothing
else, no trimming nor is any needed,
the variety of color through the cross
hatch being quite decoration enough.
Another plaid in lighter gray tones
covered with Irvine color has the front
of the skirt and the front of the blouse
embellished with irregular patterns of
Irvine colored lace appliqued on and the
canvas cut out underneath, which, how
ever-it is bringing Goals TO Newcastle
is quite in the spirit of the mode. To
place these detached pieces of lace eff
fectively is an art.
gown of myrtle green covered with
black canvas is trimmed with black
velvet ribbon. The skirt has three clus-
ters of bands in velvet of graduated
widths, each cluster beginning with a
velvet ruche, the whole extending two
thirds of the way up TO the belt. The

got with this canvas, as for example a
black satin gown has the front breadth
trimmed with a green ribbon covered
with black canvas. The ribbon is five
inches wide: it runs across near the
bottom, folds over and makes a
diagonal running part way up to the
belt in a graceful twisted curve with
the end cut into two long points. 1t

There is a bolero made to match the
fiounces, with a band of the insertion

is worn over a black lace blouse.
Come now to the silks made up by
themselves. One of gray and black
stripes has three ruffleS on the skirt,

black, white and silver. heading that
may be replaced by a ruche made Of

Paris. April, 1S97.-Each one of the
great dressmakers has his hobby, as
thus, Doucet and Paquin adore godet
skirts. which are detested by Felix
and these workroom quarrels may turn
ones ideas topsy-turvy as to what is
the fashion and what is not; it is,
therefore, a relief when all hands are
agreed on something, as they notably
are now on the blouse. The efforts
have been tremendous 10 get rid of
the blouse, but II would not go. There
is somewhere in this matter, a psychol-
ogy that the reader may be pleased to
work out. The blouse makes part
of all the new gowns. 1t fits with most
dressmakers down close TO the figure
behind. and is full and bOuffant in
fall down through the middle entirely
over the belt. II is made with a yoke,
or it is made breasted, or it is
open down the front over gilet, the
latter in combination with a linen
flange collar. and tie being the choice
of the moment with women that are
chic: ii is trimmed up and down and
il is trimmed across, according to the
figure or to the design of the skirt; il
may have over il a bolero. and these
are shorter than they were and are
sometimes no more than Jokes, or it
may have figaro and this only
bolero made long so as to go with
narrow kelt, to which there is q very
general return. 1t is carried out in

the underwear makers runs something

wide falling ruffie that entirely covers
the strap, sewed under the lower edge
of a narrow band that serves as a stay.
| The ruffie is of lace, or ii is of tucking

The drawers, made to match the
chemise, are very lightly gathered. and
are short enough to have the trim

wide ruffie or it is. a piece all in tucks
running up and down, with the edge

The nightgown model at present most
liked has large flowing collar, with a
very wide ruffie, giving vague and

or it may be of tucks or embroidery, or
it NAV be edged with color. The
sleeves, in harmony, are full and have
a wide ruff1e gathered into the mar
rowest possible band.
In a corset cover the chief merit is
that il takes up no room under the
gown and. therefore, it should have
nothing, not even tucks, added, but 1t
should be enriched only with insets of
embroidery or lace. Many women have
discarded this garment.
In petticoats both colored silk and
white muslin are worn. The white ones,

EASTER DISHES.
Some Delicious Egg Salads and En-
trees Served in the Shell.

The evolution of charming gifts and
table delicacies from eggs is not always
so difficult as one might suppose.
First. TO prepare the shells to use as
moulds, puncture a small hole in the
top of the egg, carefully charging it to
the size of al dime. sharp pair of tiny
scissors will help in the operation Pour
out the contents, which can be saved for
cooking.
Next wash the egg-shells in warm,
weak ammonia water. being sure TO
thoroughly clean the inside of the shells.
A bit of sponge tied to the end of a
small stick can be utilized for this pur-
pose Rinse with clear water, and stand
the shell up on the open end to dry. 1t
will be found convenient in filling the
shells If they are placed so as TO stand
perfectly secure during the operation;
This may be done by making round
openings in the bottom of an inverted
pasteboard box. Draw circles about the
size of half a dollar upon the paste
sharp knife. If the box is about an inch
deep. the eggs. when placed in the round
openings. will rest on the table or shelf
underneath the box. A box of oats also
answers the purpose. Place the shells
in the oats and ill them from a pitcher.
Salad eggs. welsh rarebit eggs. cake
and jelly eggs are among Easter con-
fections and by using egg shells as
moulds. many table delicacies may be
prepared. Croquettes made of any kind
of powdered meat, may be baked in shells
water in the pan holding the shells to
prevent burning.
TO make salad eggs. select fresh eggs,
with firm shells. and make small
opening in one end of each With a
small spoon. stir up the contents of
each. pouring out very little. Have
minced ham at hand. and put some of
it, with a little salt, pepper and mus
tard' into the egg, adding a drop of
vinegar. After thoroughly mixing each
egg. place them, open end up. in a pan.
SO tightly together that they will sup
port each other: pour water in around
the eggs and boil until thoroughly hard.
Before serving. remove the shells.
For welsh rarebit eggs. take melted
cream cheese, salt. pepper. mustard and
little ale, pour into the shells to-
gether with cracker crumbs rolled very
fine and bake in the oven, taking care
to put water in the pan.
Any kind of cake dough may be poured
into shells. leaving space for rising and
after baking remove the shells, and roll
them in frosting. For fruit eggs, boil
fruit juice-cherry for instance-until it
hardens. add the cherries. pour into egg
shells and when hardened remove the
shells and you have a toothsome morsel.

first and last and all there is to be
said.
\ novelty in material accepted by all
hands is taffeta covered with a coarse
square meshed canvas made specially
for the purpose and introduced last
winter for ball gowns. The canvass is
neutral, that is 10 say is black, white
or Irvine color. and its mission is to
tone down and shadow the color be-
meath and to furnish a ground of cross
threads. on which designs of lace or
embroiderS are appliqued. 1t is the
method of fancy work applied TO dress.
The results of this combination are
shown in the illustrations below.

selves are in stripes, in plaids and in
rather large checks. shot grounds and
Powered patterns having dropped quite
out of sight. These designs are not in
hard contrasts as black and white, but
in tints that merge softly. stripes that

white, alterations of shaded blue with
shaded pink with white between. cross
bars of pink on a white ground with
a pink and green rosebud in each

period between 1850 and 1860, that many

DETAILS OF THE WORK.
For other courses it has been found
necessary to charge even members a
small fee, sometimes 25 cents a course,
or from 20 to % cents for a single adj

conducted by Mrs. Runkle, giving its
attention to history in the making, fol-
lowing the worlds progress as it I'M

attention 60 domestic and foreign poll
tics, and to the various social move
ments of the times.
There are primary classes in parlia-
mentary law, and advanced classes for
parliamentary practice. The amount
and quality of work that any one men,
Der does is entirely voluntary; no pres
sure of any kind is brought to bear,
and no qualification of mind or morals
is necessary to become a member. 1t
is solely a matter of having the re-
