! ding one has to be allowed and taken in
10 account. This is often 4 drawback
| rather than an advantage, the ftnfss Of
dinner companionship has to be sacrificed
to ii; still, hestesses nave to disregard

irritation is likely to ensue on the part OF
the aggrieved ones.
1t rests with the hostess to give the sig
nal for the ladies TO leave the dining room
after dessert. and 1t demands a little OBJ
s~ervation on her part to do this at tie
right moment, neither too soon or too late,
| not to break off a conversation and not to
wait for a dead silence, and not before all
the ladies Of the party ave finished des1
sert. A hostess follows the ladies from
the dining room, and does not precede
them, and they should. as far as possi-
Bile, enter the drawing room In the order
in which they left, two ladies usually
walking abreast or one slightly in al
vance Of the other. as may be. The nos
tess suggests any after-dinner amuse-
merit that takes place, and joins in it her-
self, and she also proposes the adjourn-
ment from the drawing room for the
night. II no case do the guests take the
initiative in this respect, it is left to the
discretion of the hostess, and II o'clock IS
the usual hour for goodnight being said.
Put sugar in the water used for Blasting
meats Of all kinds; it gives a good flavor
to veal more especially, says What to
Eat"
To give a fine flavor to corned beef
hash, use good soup stock for moistening,
with a pinch of salt, sugar and cayenne.
Three tablespoonfuls Of freshly made
Japan tea, with a bit of nutmeg, gives
an indescribable flavor to an apple pie.
Boston baked beans can be greatly inn
proved by adding a cupful of sweet
cream the last hour of baking.
When making tomato soup, add a raw
cucumber sliced fine. boil soft and strain
with tomato. 1t gives a seasoning quite
taking.
Add a cupful of good cider vinegar to
the water in which you boil fish, especial
ally salt water fish.
Make snow cake with flour;
the flavor is delicious.
When boiling ham, put in a cupful of
black molasses, one onion, a few cloves
and peppercorns, adding a bunch Of hay;
it seasons finely.
A number of new tailor-made gowns
show a great deal of stitching on bands
that are applied, and in collars, revers,
cuffs and belts, says the "Woman's
Home Companions" Some of them have

of better style are lone in self-color. But
tons are a feature on street costumes,
and are used in small numbers Of good
size or are put on in small quantities of
very small size. Brass buttons of tiny
size set very close together are much
used on street dresses for misses and
young women. Very narrow gold braid,
a mere thread, follows stitched bands on
the skirt and waist, where brass buttons
are worn. Belts on street dresses have
lost their crushed folded look. and are
severely plain, fastened with a severe dull
clasp or ribbon bows made from braid or
stiff ribbon that MAJ serve as a trimming
for the gown.
The art of putting on a veil belongs to
the Paris woman, for it is only she who.
can drape a ven exactly as it should be.
TIL art of putting on a veil is to catch it
securely when drawing it across the face.
Nothing is uglier than a veil which
pinches the skin and nothing more sloven-
ly than the one which is falling off.
The first rule given by a Paris milliner
to. her patron is to fasten the veil in front
before pinning it on the sides. Beautiful
little jeweled pins come for this purpose;
and the veil is caught upon the hat brim
with the handsomest pin that one can
find. If the hat brim is very large the
veil is again fastened at the sides, al
ways to the very brim of tine hat. The
ends are again brought back to the side
and are twisted under the hat brim out
of sight-or may be if the veil is very
handsome, the ends are tied and are thus
made to form a part of the hat decora-
ton.
A new bed couch is of the ordinary
width of a couch. with a metal frame.
The springs are of the woven mattress
variety and as wid as a double bed,
but with flexible hinges, dividing it into
three parts.
This woven spring and a thin hair
mattress of the same size are spread
over the main frame of the couch like
a tablecloth over a table, the sides of
the couch being hidden by the ov~r-
hanging outer thirds of the two mat
t~resses. like the leaves of an oid-fash-
toned kitchen table.
During the day this couch may be
covered with a Bagdad portiere.
At night. the leaves of the spring
and hair mattresses are raised and
locked in place by locked springs, the
bedding taken out of the compartment
in the centre Of the coucn and made
into a most comfortable bed.
This is a convenient for
a small bedroom and sittingroom com
bined.
