The Sunday Dinner.

The careful housewife has already
commenced to puzzle her head about
the character of the Sunday dinner.
No meal in the week should be gotten
up more carefully than shis and yet,
to religiously observe the day, the meal
should not be the main feature either.
Nevertheless it ought not by any means
to be neglected. On the other ak days
of the week, dinner is always eaten
more or less hurriedly and too often
the menu is gotten up in the same
fashion. On Sunday, however, which,
in justice to humanity, should be, as
general thing, day of rest, an oppor-
tunity is given the humblest individual
to eat eisurely, getting the good OF the
viands, and then discuss the dessert
with good humor and genialty.
The Sunday dinner table may now he
graced with variety of vegetables and
fruits, brought to Las Vegas by the ex-
press company. Thus the local market
affords grapes from Arizona and ius-
cious Concords from Texas. Plums
are here from California. New Mexico
is furnishing the finest peaches ever
tasted. Apples come from both New
Mexico and Kansas. The choicest kinds
of water melons come from Texas,
while cantaloupes are sent from both
tho ona Star state and Arizona To.
matoes are here from Kansas and Texas
Cabbage In abundance comes from AL
buquerque and currants and gooseber
ries from Santa Fe.

TALKED OF THE SANTA FE.
General Superintendent Nudge in Las
Vegas for Few Hours.

General Superintendent II. U. Nudge
Of the Santa Fe railroad system and his
stenographer, E. B. Whitmore, accom-
panied by Division Superintendent
Hurley of this city, arrived in Las Ve-
gas at noon today on a special train
from trip through Texas and south
ern New Mexico. Among the places
visited was Austin, the capital city of
the Lone Star state. Mr.. Nudge will
resume his journey eastward tonight.
A reporter for THE OPTIC had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. Nudge at the
Hotel Castaneda this afternoon and
secured short interview on the sub
ject of the Pecos Valley & Northeast
ern railroad. Mr.. Nudge characterized
the rumor that the Santa Fe would
operate the pecos Valley road, on and
after August l, as a newspaper story.
Nevertheless he tacitly admitted that
the Pecos Valley road at some future
date might be operated by his company
"What truth is there in the report
that a cutoff is to be built through
Guadalupe county to Isleta junction 7
he was then asked.
"That remains to be seen," said Mr.
Nudge. u don't think that the people
of Las Vegas need be afraid that the!
| will be placed on a side track of th'
Santa Fe railroad. We could diver
every car load of California traffic from
off this part of the road and there woult

local traffic is much heavier than man.

'The Art of Buying Food for Fam

in the September Cosmopolitan on the
very practical subject of puryeying for
a household. The writer shows just
where the average housekeeper is waste

able a purveyor to supply her family
with variety in food at less cost than
that with which she now endeavors to
maintain household with a too fire.
quent accompaniment of complaint and
criticism. This Cosmopolitan seems to
be a household need, for it contains
another article in the same vein by
Anna Leach in the Delightful Art of
Cooking. 1t is remarkable what a
wealth Of information she crowds into
few pages. One longs for meals pre-
pared and served as she suggests. She
promises endless variety, just as cheap
ly too, when one learns to prevent the
wastefulness which is the besetting sin
of the American kitchen.

Notions in Dress.

A very useful article for girls are
stocks and should be made of the very
best materials. but the essential point
to be considered is the style that is be.
coming.
Lace stocks with fold of colored
velvet around the upper edge and a
sailors knot or tied bow, are among
the prettiest of all the array.
Pretty separate vests are made from
mousseline de scie and trimmed with
narrow of satin ribbon gives very
dainty effect =
Then, of course, the lace vests are
equally to the fore; these generally re-
qvire to bearanged very full in chiffon.
They are very fascinating when
made with little inner vest of soft
mousseline de sole at the neck, the lace
again appearing on the collar.
Some are tying very large white tulle
bows under their chin-and it is a pret-
style which seldom comes amiss.
The stock of the moment is soft
and beautiful thing, and here, again,
mousseline de sole ranks first, with the
little corners of the collar made of
guipure or lace, the e1ds of the tie be-
ing finished with the same.
Another pretty idea is the stock and
fichu combined and this looks nice on a
plain glace blouse.
A fold of very fine lawn or gauze is
passed round the neck, crossing at the
back and forming sort Of rever shaped
fichu, edged and inserted with valen-
ciennes lace, and narrowing off into
points at the waist.
One of the prettiest stocks, too, is
composed of a judicious mixture of
crepe de chine and lace.
There is little collar of the former,
with corners of lace falling over it,
crossing at the back and tying in front,
with ends reaching to the waist. The
same stock is very nice in white wash
ing silk, with hemstitched or fringed
ends. columbus Dispatch.
