A ToQUE

large illustration is of velvet in sill
very lichen tone, with rather narrow
round brim and heavily shirred and
folded crown. Snow-white gulls are
set close on either side of tall velvet
bow in front and the combination of
delicate white plumage and silver gray
is very beautiful.
The frame of the hat in the centre
of the group in the large picture is of
sapphire-blue velvet. 1t rolls high
and sharp on the left side, down which
soft silk is drawn in full, rich folds.
But the glory and pride of the whole
is gorgeous South African bird of
cleaning plumage. The feathers are
of glowing metallic blue, and the head
of white and rose, with the big black
eye in high relief.
The model on the right of the group
is the very smartest toque of the sea-
son. The fur is of otter, soft as down
and sheeny as satin, combined with
velvet of silvery lilac. The design is
the very perfection of simplicity, but
is none the less rich and beautiful as
whole.

Treatment of Milk for Rottlinr.

If milk is from healthy COW that
has wholesome food, pure air and
water, and the milk carefully drawn
in pure atmosphere, we may reason
ably expect the intercellular spaces in
the milk to contain nothing OBJ ection-
able to the organs of smell or taste
Considerable animal heat is of course
present at first, but this passes off
quickly during the cooling of the milk
Indeed, if obtained in the manner
just described, milk may be bottled
and submerged in ice water before it
becomes fairly cold, with the very
best of results.
This also is the proper method of
chilling pasteurized milk, which we
prefer to bott.e at a temperature of
not less than 110 degrees fahrenheit.
1t is surprising how rapidly bott e
of hot milk will cool down in a tank
Of ice water or even water at so de-
grees fahrenheit Water cools bot
lied milk faster than air, even though
the latter be 20 degrees colder than
the water. Chilled in this manner,
i. e., in stoppered bottles, milk loses
its heat without any replacement of
air between the molecules and is
therefore certain not to have been
contaminated during the process. -
