Much interest Is taken by the army
and navy authorities in a new method
OF preserving -four by means OF COM
preston. With hydraulic pressure ap-
paratus the -four is squeezed into the
form OF bricks. and experiments are re-
ported to have shown that the pressure
destroys all forms OF larvalAlfe, thus
preserving the flour from the ravages
or insects, while IL is equally secure
from mold. Three hundred pounds of
compressed -four occupy the same space
as 100 pounds OF -four in the ordinary
state.

are put on In a series OF curves. and

effect immensely.
Very lovely also is petticoat OF
white brccade for evening wear, lined
throughout with rose pink glace and
trimmed both inside and out with CHI
coree hounces OF pink silk and of white
silk placed alternately. covered with
frills or cream lace and headed with
bouillonnees OF pink chiffon. The in

naturally gives considerable amount
OF fullness to the skirt and adds not a
little TO its smart effect.

Lemon Fritters.

Beat three eggs without frothing

lemon rind and add a tablespoonful of
brandy.

crust has previously been taken) into
slices one-third of an inch thick. Stamp
them into small fancy shapes with a
cutter, dip into the mixture and then
soak till they have absorbed as much
OF the egg as possible.
Lift the fritters out carefully with q
slice and fry in the same manner as
pancakes. Place them on hot dish
and sprinkle thckly with powdered
white sugar. Serve very hot. Few peo-

orange flower or other water TO flavor
instead OF the lemon rind and by using
slices OF cake with currants and raisins
instead OF bread. IL liked, the bread

Copyright. 1885,
Paris, Aug. 6.-I saw the other day
Yvcttc Guilbert. wearing a most be-
coming princess gown OF black tulle,
with many jet embroideries. She was
minus her famous shiny black gloves.
The 4own had the usual overskirt dra-
perry and was cut with long fiounce In
the back. The tuIle drapery was made
over an underdress of white silk. The
bodice cut square at the neck showed
a guimpe OF white chiffon shrred be-
tween insertions of black chantiily. The
sleeves were made OF black tulle over
white chiffon. which was arranged in
puffs united by bands of jetted tulle.
AT the theater the other night Nine
Guilbert looked charmingly youthful in
a gown OF white lace made over white
satin and given a soft dash of color by
the broad bowed sash OF ciel blue. The
skirt had a single deep fiounce. while
the bodice was much draped with the
the lace.
Already one gets a hint OF the nov
elites that one may expect with the au-
tumn gowns. One OF these is a profuse
use of buttons. They will be indeed
quite a decorative feature OF the gown
itself.
A costume OF Paquin's, limiting of the
future, Is OF dark blue cachemire, with
the full skirt fiounced around the slant
Ing panels which come down over the
hips. The panels have narrow cross
pieces of white braid held down by
small brass buttons. The bodice has a
loose front and a round sailor collar
lined with white broadcloth. falling
from around yoke OF the broadcloth
and crossed with narrow bands of braid,
finished with tiny buttons. A scarf of
blue silk Ia knotted about the waist
and a tiny bow OF narrow blue ribbon
finishes the collar.
Among trimmings narrow ribbon

ing dresses. but there Is no place for
them on heavy wooden fabrics II IS
whispered that fur will be much used In
finishing some OF the heavier OF the win
ter costumes. Sable and the dark rica
qualities will likely have the prefer
ence.
Instead OF being faced with silk or
satin many OF the latest tailor made
frocks have the facing OF the same
cloth as the gown, heavily stitched and
pressed smooth and firm.
The tucks and insertion that appeared
on the summer toilets will be followed
up in the autumn and winter gowns by
the use of folds and bands of passe
menterie. The use OF almost every va
riety OF trimming may be looked for.
although the use OF buttons is the new
est thing. The buttons are of all sizes
and are already applied In rows to
bodices and skirts. 1t is style partic-
ularly suitable for tailor made cos
tunes.

One OF the novelties is tight fitting
coat OF red. which may be worn with
any skirt. The coat has a turned over
collar and revers cut like those OF a
shooting jacket. The jacket fastens
with small flaps. caught by four brass
buttons. The front of the Jacket at the
waist is cut to form boiero. While the
back OF this vest shaped coat is very
short. cut round and slightly undulat-
ed. Beneath IL Is a waistcoat OF white
pique, fastened with shining brass but
tons and not quite reaching the waist.
Instead OF the buttons tiny buckles
and clasps are sometimes substituted
for them in trimming.
The demand for seasonabIe garments
is met by some very pretty tea gowns
now shown in the shops. The gown is
of fine white silk. arranged with tucks
and cream insertion, and will be ap-
preciated by those who dwell in high
latitudes. II has tuck and insertion
trimmed yoke. epauleted sleeves, with
a heading of twisted ribbon, each end
OF which comes just below the arm, and
Is completed in a coquettish bow. The
tight sleeves are composed of lace and
insertion. deep founces of the lace fall
ing over the sleeves. Three rather wide
rows OF insertion divided by tucks give
elegance to the full bodice and are wild
ened down the front of the skirt. A
wide gathered founce goes about the
front breadths of the skirt, another
founce heading IL on the side breadths.
The waist is enciroled by ribbon of
medium width. knotted in front and
falling in long streamers to the head of
the fiounce.
More gorgeous than ever, II such a
thing be possible, are the newest petit
coats. One pretty model is of cherry
colored taffeta, having a deep plated
flounce cut out at the bottom in van
dyke points, which are trimmed with
narrow ruches. These give a fullness to
the bottom OF the new skirts, which
