SEPARATION in fancy work is now making
bonnet bags for friends who intend max
ing long journeys by rail, says the Phila-
deIphia Press
In travelling, and particularly for sum
mer journeys, when dust is ubiquitous,
these bonnet bags are thoroughly useful.
They make delightful gifts.
@Even for short trips to keep a hat pro-
tecfkd from cinders and dust for a couple
of nonss makes a big difference in its pre-

lfne-a traveler was seen the other day
slipping the Jacket of her travelling suit
into a long light bag provided for the
purpose. which when drawn together at
it's mouth by the shirr string and hung in
a sleeping car section, kept the Jacket
trim, fresh and increased as if at home.
The same traveller carried to slip over
her silver-monnted hand satchel a smart
cover of black.

arranged for the opening of the bag.
When the bag closed the cover is strap
ped down so as to ervelop it completely,
with the exception Of the handle.
The cover was smartly embroidered
with a large monogram in gold floss.
In buying lamb or mutton you may
choose the saddle or the whole hind
quarter. the leg, loin or shoulder, says
the "Woman's Home Companion The
saddle IS roasted; the leg roasted or hon-
ed; the loin is roasted or cut into chops,
and the shoulder is roasted. The hind
quarter costs more than the fore quarter,
but the shoulder-piece. boned and stuffed,
~rsalses a very nice and Inexpensive roast.
The shoulder and neck-piece are also used
for lamb stews and frieassees.
Chops are cut in two ways; there are
the long chops and the short chops. The
long chops have the tiank-end left on,
while in the short chop the flank is cut
off and only the loin part used. The long
chops cost less by the pound, but really
are not so cheap, since the fank-piece
adds to the weight without giving any
more eatable meat. Ii takes so mucn
more to make the amount needed for
family use. that in the end it really costs
more than the lesser number of pounds
of short chops at the larger price.
There is a new table berry on the mar

Washington Star reporter, (which
proves that there is something new under
the sun after all, at least in the berry
business. The new conner is called the
