dreaded Bacon.

Cut bacon or other fat, salt pork in
thin slices and freshen by placing in
cold water over the fire. When it scalds,
remove it, drain and dip each slice sep
arately into well beaten eggs, then roll
in very fine bread crumbs. Let lie a
moment until crumbs have absorbed
the egg, then dip again in the beaten
egg and roll in fine crumbs. Have ready
a little very hot fat in tine frying pan
and fry quickly, turning until both
sides are delicately Drowned, careful
that it does not scorch.

GOWN IN BLACK CHIFFON OVER GLACE.
year we were presented with the trim
med skirt, which WAS welcomed by the
s@leot few who know everything and
wear everything as soon as they have
recognized its advantages. This year the
authorities are tempering it to public
taste by long lines of trimming from
waist to hem, crossing such decoration
for the most part on the left hip to
give a suggestion of height. The pouch
ed bodice will no doubt still retain IA
vor during the spring. Does it not give
to the bad figure the semblance OF a
good one, and may it not be successful
Iy manipulated by the Indifferent dress
maker?
1t is predicted that we shall be great
ly troubled with the new skirts when
walking. This shape cannot be cut short
to look we'll, and they are very difficult
to hold up. If taken up at the back,
they will dip at the sides and have an
uncomfortable way of twisting round
the figure.
Popular are all shades Of blue, those
which incline toward the lavender hue
being the most favored. The color Of
the biuebell is perhaps the ideal shade.
This makes the most delightful Of spring
costumes. With trimmings of narrow
white braid and a vest of ecru lace or
lisse, a few folds of purple to make the
belt, a hat formed of flowers of many
colors of mauves and blues, the effect
is harmonious to a degree.
AS usual, gray and fawn color find
their dayotees by the thousand. Light
biscuit shade is most extrayagant and
most alluring, and altogether the paler
tho shade the more attractive is the
gown.
Evening gowns are singularly grace
full. Satin holds its vogue, but it is
likely to be often covered by tulle or
net, and our old friend tarlatan is COM
ing back. Tt is good news, for it is a
material that wears we'll, does not east
~ get out of order, and the iron will
restore it to it's pristine beauty, ard it is
certainly not expensive. We are return
ing to soft falling skirts, and a great
deal Of crepe de chine will be worn and
canvas bareges. Spangled tulle will be
worn for dresses and very much for al
grets in the hair.
The evening gown illustrated is a
lovely example of black chiffon over
colored glace silk lining, embroidered
in steel, with waistband and shoulder
bows of black satin ribbon.
In the second cut are shown some
beautiful jeweled ornaments and Access
series to dress. The first figure illus
trates the slides now SO fashionable for
wearing on velvet at throat or waist.
The central one is a beautiful sun star
pendant, and the others explain them
selves.
Open fabrics akin to canvas will be
| as much worn as ever and are produced
in bewiidering variety. Some with GAN
vas grounds show lace effects carried
horizontally through them or stripes
of simulated ribbon in varied combina-
tions. Another novelty is the introduce
tion of small tucks woven into the fab
rio.

Something new in a shower bouquet

Shower very fine garlands suspended
on invisible wire and falling from the
rim of the bouquet like the spray of a

A pretty arrangement Of ribbon for a
bridesmaids bouquet is to intwine it
among the blossoms, knotting it here
and there in empire bows and also car
rying it at intervals to the stems, there
also forming it into loops. Where the
ends fall from the bows there should
also be trailing sprays of blossoms and
foliage.

draping of the mantelboard. In no other
way can the severe outlines of the ordi-
nary fireplace and mantel be SO easily
softened. Even in this age of rush"
embroidery is an established art as ap-
piled to household decoration, and it
will give a distinctive value to mantel
drapery which no amount of expensive
brocade can impart.
In one good design there is a valance
of embroidered canvas to which is fixed
a chain of drapery, while end curtains
show a border sewed IN or a design
worked upon the front corners.

The fashion in draperies naturally
depends upon the fashion in furniture
used. Window hangings are elaborate
and fanciful or restrained and demure
in appearance in accordance with the
demands Of the furniture favored. At
the present time in the drawing room
beautiful colors are associated with sim
plicity of arrangement in the embellish-
ment of window curtains and ~valances,
and especially is this the case whore the
Sheraton style has been adopted. The
Sheraton style gives but small scope to
drapsries. In this style valances hang
in thin and shallow folds. and long cur
tains are merely Topped back either at a
point three-quarters up or in the lower
part of the window. Neither does the
Adam style bequeath us any better at
tempt at original draperies, and it seems
therefore if we would accurately follow
these styles we must content. ourselves
within narrow limits As to drapery.
But fortunately more substantial and
elaborate fashions than those mentioned
are equally used. For windows in Louis
XIV style. for instance, may be used a
curved cornice, and Immediately below
this is hung q rich net fringe of cross
cord and bullion. Over this will hang
luxurious folds of plush, which are to
be caught up in the center by curved
and gilded shells above the cornice. The
curtains, which are Topped back irregu-
larly, are intended to hang behind the
decorative fringe of the valance.
People who luxuriate in graceful lines
and rich coloring will not forego the

cutter seems to be to crowd as much
cutting into the article as possible. This
is obviously contrary to the non of
good taste. In this simple pattern the
flowing lines of the cut through pattern
contrast favorably with the more rigid.
The design is good from the useful
point of view because the table when
made is not likely to he upset by every
passerby.

Breakfast Bacon.

An exchange tells how to cook bacon
SO that it will be brown, dry and crisp.
Cut it thin and have it ice cold when 1T
is put in the hot pan.
Shake the pan rapidly while the ba-
con is cooking. Toss the bacon over. 1t
will crisp into rolls in two or three
minutes and will then be ready to use
as a garnish. The pan should be hot
enough to burn the bacon unless it is
kept moving. The bacon should be SO
chilled that it is firm enough for a keen
edged knife to cut it in waferlike slices.

fence seemed serious, thoughtful, apnrec-
iative, but u-nenthusiastic. They use more
Judgment about applause than the
French. They never interrupt a scene, or
even a musical phrase, with misplaced
applause. Their appreciation is slow but
hearty, and always worthily disposed.
The French are given to exaggerating an
emotion and to applauding an eccen-
tricity. Even their subtlety is overdone.
Tho German character is cleaner the
family tie is made much of, sentiment is
encouraged instead of being ridiculed as
it too often is in America, but the Ger
man point of view of Americans is quite
as much distorted as the French.
That statement is severe, but true. 1t
would be utterly impossible for the
American girl to be more exquisitely
misunderstood than by French and Ger
man men.
For forty years the stockings worn by
the Queen nave come from the looms OF
a weaver named John Meakin. In ac-
Acknowledgement of this fact the Queen
recently sent Mr.. Meakin a photograph
of her august self, containing her auto
graph, and Mr.. Meakin is very jubilant
thereat.
The presentation of the photograph at
tracted attention to Meakin's mill
sent many inquisitive visitors there, who,
of course. asked the master manufacturer
many questions about the Queens stock
ings. They learned that Her Majesty's
taste in this direction usually called for
fine silk hose, black, with white tops and
feet. They also found that a coronet
and the letters, V. R. S. and j. M, were
worked into each stocking. The v. r.,
of course, is the Queens title, the S. is
the initial of the merchant from whom
she purchases them after they have beer

Fans and parasols are as usual favorite
gifts this year, either for their friends to
bestow upon the bride or the bride to
present to the attendants. The fan,
like the parasol, can cost very little or
a great deal, and in both cases be dainty
and pretty. Charming fans for brides
maid gifts are of silk and gauze, with
sticks of painted wood, decorated with
gold and silver s~crolI-work, or of feathers
with a circle of gauze let in the middle,

thereon, or a monogram wrought in
sequins. Parasols of light silks with net
or mousseline overslips and big choux
for the wedding spray of flowers fast
ened on one side, are not expensive and
charming souvenirs for bridesmaids.
Desk fittings are of the favorite delft
blue china. Something new is the flower
pot pen-wiper containing a blooming
plant, the wiper being beneath.
Porcelain corners are seen on monkey
and lizard-skin pocketbooks; these. like
the silver ones. are removable; there is
frequently a particular receptacle in the
pocketbook into which the 'kerehief is
slipped, in default of a pocket.
There is a new automatic inkstand,
with a felt pad always moist for wetting
stamps, and an automatic mucilage
brush which wipes itself.
On bonnets and small toques one sees
much jet, mostly in the form of sequins
or paillettes or jetted sprays.

Sutro's Contract Wife.
r.

Whenever a millionaire dies in San
has come to the front in the Sutro case
now that the old mar is nearing his end.
For some weeks it has been known to
members of the family of Ex-MayOr
Adolph SutrO, the multi-milliOnaire, who
was recently declared incompetent. and
to a few professional gentlemen connect
ed with the conduct of the estate. that a
Oma calling herself Mrs. Clarissa
kluge has been declaring that she is
Sutr0's contract wife. and claiming to
possess the strongest of evidence to back
up her claim.
Recently she visited one the Ex-
Mayors attorneys and told him the
story of her alleged relations with Sutro
which, she says. had existed for some
years. She announced her intention Of
standing up for her interest if any move
was made by the family to keep her out
of what was due her. but said that she
did not want to hara~s Mr.. SutrO. or TO
make trouble for the heirs, if it could be
avoided.
Mrs. kluge is a handsome woman of
30, who lives in elegant style. She has
two children. When interviewed she
stated that she was Sutro's niece. but
would not admit that she also claimed to
be his contract wife.
