BACHELORS FAKE LUNCHEON.
Amusing Idea Recently Imported
From Paris.

The latest inspiration of the gilded
bachelors. who fOndly term themselves
Bohemians. is the fake luncheon. And
by those that have been hidden to the
feast the idea is said to have been a
most happy one. To enjoy oneself,
however, even in a mild sort of way,
il is necessary to go with a fund Of
good humor up the sleeve and with a
ready repartee on the tip of the tongue.
At fake luncheon recently given at
a bachelors apartment on Madison
avenue, in New York City, to twelve
guests, ii was noticed that the decora-
tions Of the table were not in the ortho-
dox fashion. From a large horn of
plenty, which was placed at one corner
of the table, streamers of ribbon ema-
mated to the places Of each guest. Upon
them were written curious little re-
quests. One read: Let there be ST.

horn and crowed vigorously The first
course was hard boiled eggs; at least.
it looked so, but when opened they
were found to contain a delicious frozen
bouillon They had been most cleverly
prepared The raw eggs had first been
blown and filed with the bouillon: the
opening had then been covered over,
and the contents frozen.
English mullins followed this course
and were invariably taken and laid by
the side of the plates. The guest
whose ribbon had dilated on the bad
form of bread crumbling was the first
to run his fingers into an enclosed tim
bale. The conventional instinct then
arose to protest strongly against roast
potatoes as a course, and ii was only
subsidized by the precocious spirit who
discovered them to be but the tomb of
Inflated snipe. A prettily arranged
salad of lettuce turned out to be an
imitation in tissue paper. AT the end
of each leaf a verse was attached, or,
in fact, a challenge to ones powers of

ing the stones. Roll out biscuit crust
about half an inch thick. and cut out
a circle six inches in diameter; cover
it thickly with cherries to within an
inch of the edge, and scatter sugar
over them. Put a circle of pasteboard
about four and one-half inches in di-
ameter over them, then a layer of
cherries, leaving half an inch around
the edge. Then a circle of pasteboard
again. about three and one-half inches
in diameter, then cherries again, and
finally an apex of pasteboard about
two inches across. Steam this pud-
ding on a plate for about two hours.
Serve it with a hard sauce made of
butter and sugar. A quarter of cup
of butter to half a cup of sugar are
the right proportions.
A Swiss cream with cherries or rasp
berries is served in glasses and made
like this: Take one pint of thick
sweet cream, mix in one-half pound of
sugar, the rind and juice of one lemon,
three wineglaSses of white wine-Cali-
fornia hook, for example. Stir all this
together thoroughly and then put it on
ice Cor a few hours. Whip the mix
ture as you would whip cream, with
an egg-beater or a cream churn, re-
moving the foam, and fill the glasses
until you have used all. Place small
maccaroon and few cherries or other
fruit on top of each glass of the cream.
Raspberries-red,b black or white, or
blackberries. can be made into Il pie
in way a little different from the old
fashioned one, and to advantage.

of sugar and two of water. Cook I'M

black French linen lawn and tailors'
linen are the shadowy fabrics in which
the bereaVed find some solace. The
usual scheme of the gown that signifies
full mourning is to face the founda-
ton skirt TO the knees with an almost
perfectly fiat circular fiounce of the
typical weed of grief, that is to say,
English crepe, and then drop upon this
an overskirt-like drapery of one of the
cool. gauZy weaves. None of the hot
heavy crepe is considered essential on
the waist, and the hat or bonnet is of
wired crepe or Brussels net.
If a bonnet is insisted upon only
scarf of net, hemmed or faced with
crepe border two to four inches wide,
depends from the bonnet's rear. The
mourning headpiece itself is scarcely
larger than mans palm, and has
brim folding back like a diadem close
against the crown. Ali this, whether
the crown sits fiat to the head or rises
in the form of a small cylinder with
rather fiaring top, is pinned well back
on the head, and any trimming is done
by the abundance of the falling scarf
that often sprouts in a big crepey pom
pom to one side of the head.
For Girls In Black.
Young girls in mourning wear the
most charming dead black chip hats,
quite wide of brim and heaped with
snow white tulle or tulle dotted in
black. Inside the eavelike brim rows
on rows of white lisse quilting, tipped
with black, contribute to background
for blonde or dark hair that is infalli-
bly, becoming. A black sailor with a
crown band of tucked white silk, hav-
ing a bow with fringed ends is much
the most choice mourning covering for
summer wear, and the white straw AL
pine, wound with one twist of duh taft
feta, that literally explodes into big
eccentric bow in front, is the sort of
garden protection that the woman past
the sailor age will most sensibly as
sumo.
India Silks.
The best investment for a cool, SER
viceable wash mourning costume is a
perfectly plain black India silk. This
is a silk woven in France and sent to
India for its dye and finish and guar
anteed to stand travel. rain or long
usage with a staunchness beyond COM
pare. 1t must be made on a taffeta or
one of the crisp imitation silk goods to
get the incest wearing results. but for
women of all ages it is one of the few
goods that never disappoints.
Far less reliable for stiff device. but
most beautiful of the mourning fabrics
is the black net, TO which is applied

for her patients all that the most
skilled chiropodist can do. but her spe-

is devoted to treating the feet as an
aid in restoring nervous strength.
