For beef tea the juiciest part of the

There should be no fat on the meat.
Cut 1t into dice and put into the up

farlna kettle, using a pound of meat
to pint of cold water 4 fruit Jar
or any wide mouthea bottle may be
used in place of the double kettle,
and it should be placed on stand of
some kind in a kettle of hot water.
Set the kettle over the fire and boil
until the juice of the meat is extracted.
Then strain the juice, pressing it out
of the meat, and season to taste with
salt.
In cases where great deal of nour-
ishment is needed, especially in con
sumption and kindred diseases, the
Juice should be squeezed from fresh
meat and given warm, but never hot
The meat should be placed in an oven
and warmed, as the juice flows more
freely from it in that condition. 1t is
then cut into pieces of an inch or
two square and pressed until dry.
The usual quantity is from two to
three pounds day, taken at inter
walls. A high temperature, the ply

Waists, Bodices and BIouses.

None but fiattering comments are to
be made OF dress waists as they now
reveal themselves, and powerful as
has been the effort to coax women to
accept more decoration on their skirts,
the waists, bodices and blouses of the
majority of costumes continue to steal
ill the real glory and color.
Stitching is in high favor as a finish
for wraps and costumes. A fine ex-
ample of waist trimmed with stitch
ings is shown in the large engraving.
Several gowns were seen with no other
trimming save rows and rows of fanci-
full stitching in some contrasting color.
Blouses are now exactly like those
of previous years. They are made
tighter and over very close fitting
lining. The pleats, which used to be
on the upper part of the bodice, and
were widened at the breast, putting out
and enlarging the waist. are continued
to the belt, kept flat, and sewed with
lingerie stitch. These pleats are A.
ranged in every possible way, long
wise, l'orizon tally, diagonally, as in

Cuban salad, which American wom-
en- in Havana have learned to make,
and which is considered a great deli
cacy by them, Is recommended by
them as an addition to Thanksgiving
dinners.
1t is made of the avacado pear,
which is not pear at all, but is So
called because of its shape. To serve
as salad split in two lengthwise with
sharp knife and remove the brown,
shrivelled sac, which contains black
and bitter pulp that is used in max
ing indeible ink. Slash the yellow
pulp in the rind both ways and
sprinkle into the opening salt and
pepper, and perhaps little cinnamon.
The Cubans use red pepper. Place
small piece of ice in the hollow of
the fruit and pour over it French
dressing. Let it stand until cold,
drain, and place two halves on each
plate on bed OF light green lettuce
leaves.

SHE WAS A BRAVE GIRL.
Kept Her Presence of Mind When At
tackled by an Alligator.


Some days ago little girl, a daugh-
ter of Mrs. Fields, living on Lake Glib
son, near Lakeland, Fla, jumped off
the wharf on the lake to take a swim.
She is an expert swimmer but had
hardly touched the water before she
was seized by the leg, between the
knee and ankle. by an alligator. She
was pulled under the water by the sau-
rian, but managed to break away and
started hastily toward the shore, only
a few yards distant. The gator again
came to the attack, this time selling
her in the fieshy part of the side, be-
tween the ribs and hip. The little one
was plucky, however, and managed to
again break away from the cruel jaws,
this time reaching the shore, the ga
tor following until she was on dry
land; then he disappeared from view.
The girl never lost her presence of
mind, which probably was the reason
of her escaping alive. She gives a very
graphic description of the dangerous
encounter, and has two very ugly
wounds to vouch for her story. She
says she could not see the entire length
of the beast, but from what she could
see would judge it to have been only
about five feet Tonga small gator to
attack person. The girl is. IA years
of age.-Baltimore Sun

Skirts That Are the Mode.

collars high, some basques are shown,

A Way of Testing Eggs.

The old method OF testing eggs by
a candle is relic of the days of the
tallow dip, but similar process of
discovering their condition is still en-
ployed. If when held before the light
the contents of the shell are clear, the
egg is fresh; if Opaque, it is stale, and
if black speck is visible it is unfit
for use.
The best way to cook an egg is to
put it into cold water and stand IN a
hot stove. Just before the water boils
the egg is "soft boiled" and the white
and yoke will be found to be evenly
cooked. This manner of cooking
allows the heat to permeate the egg
evenly, and does not bring the white
to leathery consistency while the
yoke is still soft.
Stale eggs are lighter in weight than
fresh ones. A newly laid egg does not
poach nicely, and it requires half
minute longer to cook than stale
egg.

brim of velvet comes nearer than any

toque, worn over the face, is also a

The Newest Form of Cloak.

The newest long cloak for theatre
and general evening wear is crepe de
Chine. 1t is lightly stretched around
the shoulders to about the elbow, and
from this point to the ground all the
fullness is set into narrow little rib
bons or tucks, doing away with all
folds or flutes. This is a reversal of
the usual order of things, tucks and
straightness below the elbow instead
of above it, as for a tall, slim woman
the innovation is very becoming. The
high collar of this cloak is edged with
feathers and the edges of the front
and all around the bottom are bordered
with netted silk fringe.

Houghton's father, on hearing his
guest express admiration of the pros

tall chimney of some mandatory on
the far horizon and expressed his re-
gret that 1t should recently have been

acter of the view. Spoiled the

Effect of q WeIl-cut Corset.

It is extraordinary what a trans.
formation well-cut corset will effect
in a woman's appearance, and how,
without any perceptible pressure, the
waist may be heightened even as
much as two inehes. This is really
very important consideration at the
present time, when princess dresses
and eelskin skirts are so popular, and
any one who wishes to have an ele-
CANT and graceful appearance should
first of all give consideration to the
corset, otherwise the work of the
dressmaker is likely to be lost.
