The Cream for Candies-A simple rule for
cream, which is the foundation Of most French
candies, is as follows: Roll two pounds OF
graduated sugar and a cup of water IN an
agate-ware saucepan. Do not stir it at all,
but when the syrup has boiled rapidly for
eight or ten minutes or less, dip a fork into
1t and hold it above the pan; if long. hair
Ike thread can be seen on the fork, remove
the syrup from the fire and pour it into
bowl to cool. When you can bear your finger
into 1t, begin to stir the syrup vigorously
with spoon until it is thick paste re-
sembling lard. Knead' this thoroughly, and
set it. in cool place until it is needed. When
you are ready to it, it may be made
flexible by placing the bowl containing it on
a pan of hot water. Then 1t may be cut up
into different parts. colored in pale green or
pink or brown, and made into dainty confec
tons with walnuts, almonds and pistachios,
and chopped figs or dates. Tiny molds of
various shapes for forming candies may be
purchased Of dealers in confectioners' supplies,
and bonbons cooled in these molds are most
dainty looking,

rested on the hat whose good fortune
1T was to accompany this charming
CONNECTION, and the mystery was ex-
planned. This, I believe, was model
from the famous Maison V, and
was composed of biscuit-colored felt,
warmer hue, like pale winter sunshine.
The crown was draped with black
satin and huge and magnificent
plume of black ostrich feathers was
kept in place by a steel buckle. In
shape the hat reminded me of nothing
SO much as glorified boat" or
Alpine" although, of course, 1t goes
without saying that it was at least
five or six times as large as either OF
the above mentioned styles. A pretty
touch OF color was given at the back
by a knot of yellow roses, intermixed
with a chouX of biscuit-colored and
black velvet which rested on the hair.
For the woman who loves tailor modes
and affects them even to weddings and
smart afternoon parties, no prettier
model could be found, or need it prove
at all unduly expensive. There are
plenty of good tailors who would carry
out the above suggestion for a COM
paratively small sum.
1t is a noticeable fact that all the
newest coats boast collars of one sort
or another preferably inclining to the
sailor shape at the back. One of these
coats was composed of drab box-cloth
literally braided with black in a con-
ventional design, so literally, in fact,
that in the front, at least, but very
little could be seen Of the material it

Of 1t all. There you are wrong. He

How much better, argues this
divine, for them to enjoy these
pastimes amid surroundings which
take away the sharp edge of dissipation.
If they wish to learn dancing, or, hav-

square dance, how much better for them
to enjoy this privilege without being
forced to patronize the public places
where a nominal fee is the only requisite
to membership.

embodies three of the changes to be
seen in tailor modes for 1885, viz, the
lifted coats worn with a belt, the large
cape-like collar of white satin cover

two ruff1es Of narrow, black satin rib

Have you observed" asked the man
who liked to find reasons for things,
1.-The utilization between the navy and
the stage in this country? 1t ex-
lists, l am sure Why it exists I do not
know. Several men in the navy within
the last few years have married &C
tresses," says the New York Sun. "One
playing in New York now is the wife of
a lieutenant. On the vessels at the
navy yard from time to time there are
receptions given to actresses which
would not be possible anywhere else.
Entire companies of them from bur
leSQue and music halls are entertained
there. OF course the officers do not
ask other women to meet them. But
the presence of the actresses them
selves is curious enough to attract at
tention in the East. That Charleston
episode in which the actress figured as
a guest at an exclusive cotillon was
entirely the result of this unexplained
afhliation which exists between the
navy and the stage. That young man
had probably heard Of his fellow Of
ffcers having entertained young women
Of the stage in other places. But the
whole power of the navy could not
make it seem the same to give an &C
tress luncheon on board one of the YES
sells and to take her to a dance. There
was trouble enough over that incident
in the South.
AT that same time one company
was given that same Play In New York.
Just what would have happened in
New York if the same thing had oc-
CURED would have been even more
lively. The South, with all its pride of
family blood, is very much more liberal
in such matters than the North. Ac-
tresses are received there, when in
other cities they are not welcomed at
all in what would be called Society
One reason for this is probably to be
found in the fact that a great many
Southern girls of position have gone
on the stage. They have not, Of course,
lost their positions by that. All small
er towns, in spite of their supposedly
narrower point of view, are more will
ing to have the women of the stage
with them in society. In Boston, Chi
cago. Philadelphia, or New York, the
women of the stage must either be
eminent or have place in society as
we'll as on the stage to make them well
come figures in the drawing rooms OF
the best people in society.
There are some of those in New
York. Annie Russell is the guest dur
ing the summer months, as we'll as in
the winter of some of the best known
people in New York. She has only
within recent years begun to make a
place for herself, and was not known in
society before she had won place for
herself as an actress. But she is very

THE EFFECT OF CoLoRs.
The Mental Elevation or Depression

There are colors that are refreshing and

a boxed-up appearance to room, others that

or with no exposure at all appear bright and
cheerful; some that make a room appear
warm, some that make it cold.
II a ceiling is to be made higher, leave 1t

small and the ceiling very high. Various

The thermometer seems to fall six degrees

an advancing color, therefore room fitted up
In yellow will appear smaller than it is. On
the other hand, blue of a certain shade intro

regard to size. Green makes very little.

a space obtruded upon by russet-colored or

another room, where a colored maid was
in waiting to relieve them Of their
wraps.

suing tickets in return. For the sum Of

thereof to eight dances-that is, for
eight different evenings. He was very
determined young man, and l saw at
once that it was quite impossible to
stand him off, This was impressed

The rosy checked custodian of the
finances was sorry, but he couldn't do
it. Cash in advance was the positive
order. So the lad with the red necktie,
crushed in spirit, faded away into the
night.
