cago, ILL.,:
9th in regard to roast beef, We first COM
menced packing it twenty-five years ago.
1t is sold. by all wholesale grocers and re-
tailers and used by the mass of people, and
especially in mining camps. Large guam
titles have been consumed by the Alaska
trade the last two years: also in South
Africa in the mining regions. We also ship
large quantities of it to our foreign trade,
and especially Scotland, and large quanti-
ties have been used by other governments,
and especially the French army.
In cooking the beef before putting into
cans there is naturally more or less juice
that comes from the meat, the same as
there is when cooking it at your home,
which is sometimes saved and used in max
ing soups. The beef is not cooked for the
extract.
In regard to the cooking of roast beef we
consider it cooked as much as corned beef
to make it tender, the same the corned
beef, but it is done under higher degree
of heat, and consequently does not take
as long to cook it.
Answering your question in regard to for
eign ingredients and scraps being used in
putting up this meat, will say we use moth
ing but good, wholesome, sound. govern
ment inspected beef, and no scraps of any
description are used. The fat in our can
is part of and belongs to the beef which is
packed in the can. There is none poured
in. We do not handle refrigerated beef.
Respectfully yours,
LIBBY, McNEILL & LIBBY.

Mems Dress on the stage.

II Is the opinion of an authority on The
subject that the dressing or men on the
stage has no influence whatever on the
modes of the men off ii. Yesterday sun
reporter talked TO the tailor on the sub
1ect. The tailor looked through his plate
glass window out into Fifth avenue and
shook his head decidedly
Maurice Barrymore was for years re-
garded as the worst-dresSed man on the
stage. He would not even take the trou-
BILE 10 brush the dust off his clothes, ana
his entire idea of elaborate dressing was
confined TO pair Of patent leather SHOES,
with light-brown tops, which he was ac-
custOmed TO wear, and TO dress waist
coat cut perfectly round in way TO dis
play an abnormal breadth OF shlrtfront,
which would have been possible only IL
the shirt had been especially manufacture
ed for the purpose. These were always
the two principal features OF Mr. Barry
more's appearance on the stage, and Dag
gy trousers, shapeless coat and a general
air of unkemptness used 70 be the pre-
vaiing impression he gave; But thar was
before he was regenerated by acting IN
Vanity Fair and began TO be careful
about his dress as well as his art. Charles
Richman IS another actor who shows
plainly that he has a New York tailor.
Mr.. Richman is quite without any style or
distinction that comes from his clothes.
RE is the sort Of man who thinks because
he wears a gray suit that he should also
wear a gray necktie t. go with IT, ana
the result is that he looks perfectly color
less. The matching idea is fatal 10 good
dressing in any case.
/ used 10 have some students come 10 me
from the smaller colleges who wanted
their first suit Of New York clothes, and
they used 10 be matched in the most as
tonishing way Some of them would wear
check suits with check uppers 10 their
shoes to match and one had check nat
made OF the cloth in the form OF an AL
pine The local tailor told them that this
was the proper thing, and they believed
him. 1t was only when they came down
to the big college events that they saw
well-dressed men from the other colleges.
and realized the mistake they had made.
Mr. Richman is still at the matching
stage in dress, but he seems likely TO get
out OF that, as he has already improved
so much in dress, and after while ne
will probably have his hair cut In the way
that weli-dressed men wear IL In England
and New York. It IS quite different from
the theatrical style in which 1t Is now ar
ranged James III. Hackett Is another
specimen OF a well-dressed actor In
American clothes. He always looks
dressed; In fact, very much dressed; but
he lacks style completely. lie is broad
shouldered, has a fine neure, and Is
handsome fellow. His clothes are usually
I'm the fashion, but there is never any sug-
gestion OF smartness about them.

Of the skirt meet at the centre OF the
back, and although the back width is
Joined TO it in the ordinary manner. yet
at the top this back really lies outside the
skirt in the form OF box-pleat.
Some dressmakers fasten these seams
with hooks and eyes, after the pleat is al
ranged fiat and firm over the centre,
making the placket opening and small
pocket here. Others lap the front at the
left side of the front width, and carry up
lines of stitching from hem to waist on
the edge of the cloth. This has stylish
effect, and the back is then fixture, AMI
not easily disarranged. The pleat IS
closely fastened, and thoroughly pressed
down to the commencement of the out
ward slope or flute, and the rest of the
pleat is then lightly pressed and allowed
TO be quite loose.
Glace silk or moirette is the best type
of lining, and some Of the very best dress
makers make up lining and material to-
gether. leaving only about or inches
separate at the edge. This Is more con-
venient in every way, as the dress can
be held up comfortably, and yet has
separate effect, and the edge looks fussy
and pretty. To make in this style, cut
the lining and material exactly alike, but
sew separately and well press the seams.
Leave one side OF the front open so that
the skirt can be laid out quite fiat. Turn
edged press well. and stitch by machine
on the right side in several rows. Then
turn up the lining on the side next 70 the
cloth, and finish on this same side with
narrow pleated or gathered frill OF the
silk. 1t must be clearly understood that
this frill is not inside the skirt, but be-
tween the cloth and its lining. The next
proceeding is TO place the cloth skirt
wrong side upwards over a table, and
over it the lining, with the seams facing
the cloth Carefully place the seam OF
the lining over the corresponding seam
OF the cloth, and tack securely at inter-
walls all down. not allowing the stitches
TO go through 10 the outside.
Do this at every seam. fastening each
one to the lining 10 within about eight
inches of the edge. and leave this loose
when the effect will be exactly the same
as of a separate skirt and foundation, the
latter trimmed with an outside frll. on
