Novelties in Chatting Dish Cookery.
IFrom Harper's Razar.1

Have four artichOkeS; trim the top or
the leaves; pare also the bottom Put
them in boiling water with one table
spoon of salt for 40 minutes; there must
beplenty of water. Remove them from
the fire, place them in cold water, and
afterward in a colander to drain thor
oughly. Cut them carefully in two, re-
move the chokes and small leaves, and
pare nicely the bottom with the blade
of a knife. Now prepare the following
stuffing: Chopped mushrooms, quarter
of q pound; chopped parsley, table
chopped separately.
Put in the chatting dish or in a small
saucepan over the fire one tablespoonful
of butter and the shallots and cook
three minutes; do not let them get
brown; then add the mushrooms and
parsley. Cook three minutes again;
then add one teaSpoonful of flour; cook
three minutes, stirring gently. Pour
over it slowly one gill of conSomme and
season with half a teaspoonful of salt
. and two pinches of pepper. Cook IL
minutes in the covered saucepan; re-
move from the fire and add one table
spoon of butter, stirring well.
Fill up every artichoke with the pre-
paration, putting over each a thin piece
of larding pork. Place the artichokes
in a banking pan and in the hot over
for 25 minutes; pour one gill of con-
somIne in the baking pan before putting
in the oven. Turn the pan once SO they
will lcook evenly; then remove the piece
of pork and serve very hot on round
platter.

SOME USEFUL HINTS.

The advance models in summer para
soils are dreams of loneliness. A pop
ular store on Kansas avenue has
show case fun of the dainttest creations
imaginable. Parasols are covered with
trimming. though the plain ones viii
be used to some extent Ribbon quill
lings. rufiies and chiffons are best liked
for trimmings, though some of the new
est models viii have fringe instead,
put on in fancy patterns. but they will
not be as well liked as the fluffy chif-
fons.
The Paris" is one of the prettiest
models shown at present; it is trimmed
with quillings of black and white satin
ribbon. about a quarter of an inch
wide, put on in groups of three, al
ternate black and white, with spaces
between the groups. The silk at the
outer edge between the ribs instead of
having the regulation curve, is square,
finished with a tiny chiffon ruffie, and
the effect IS quite novel.
a white taffeta one is literally COW
cred with petunia cOlored chiffon and
ribbon. The trimming starts with a big
rOsefte encircling the rod and continues
TO the outer edge with alternate ruffies
of Chiffon and satin ribbon quillings,
put on in fancy patterns.
One of the handSOmest ones, how
ever. Is Of solid black; the foundation
is Of taffeta and nearly the entire sur
face is puffed and ruff1ed with chiffon.

The Handkerchief Waist.
Handkerchief waists are the latest
fad of the smart set in the cities, but
they have not yet reached Topeka.
They are more odd and striking than
pretty, and as they are very expensive
are not likely to become common.
The handkerchief waists are made of
large, handsome silk handkerchiefs
made expressly for the purpose, and
old bandana handkerchief. The hand
kerchiefs cost between four and five
dollars. and one waist requires five or
six Of them.

For Beauty's Sake.

Many women consider beauty their
most priced possession, and win resort
to almost any method, however painful
or dangerous to preserve it.
It is not long since we learned, says
Tit Bits, that a great society beauty
had learned the congratulations of her
friends by her success in undergoing
the long and painful operation of hav-
ing the outer skin of her face removed"
This beautiful marty" found that time
was removing the bloom from her COM
plexion, and to renew it she underwent
the process of. literally speaking, hav-
ing her face skinned.
The cuticIe was removed in micro
scOpic fragments. and as gradually was
renewed by Nature, until after months
of pain and seclusion the victim of van
ity appeared in society with a complex
ion as fresh and fair as that of any
debutante.
A less painful method of making fad
ed complexion beautiful again is prac-
tised by many society women The
practice is to wear for several hours a
day a complexion-m mask. a firm mask
of leather, lined and padded inside to
fit exactly the contour Of the face, and
adjusted to the requisite pressure by
straps or screws. With their faces i'm
prisoned in this hideous instrument of
torture women will spend weeks or
months of retirement, until the pres
sure has smothered out tel1-tale Wrfn-
kles and made the skin as smooth and
beautiful as in days when masks were
not wanted
The process of making necks and an
gular shoulders plump and beautiful is
rather tedious than painful. In the
words of a beauty doctor, sit takes
time and a great deal Of work but it
can be done" and it is done by a long
process of dieting. massage. rubbing
with cocoa butter and other unguents,
the patient being glad to spend months
over the treatment if only the end is
achieved.
A more painful proceeding is the sub
stitution of new for old eyelashes. This
process is long. and proceeds literally
by a hair at a time. each hair being
carefully threaded through the denud-
ed eyelid, and the ends cut to the re-
quired length After some weeks ma
ture, complaint as she is, adopts the ar
tifice as her own, and the implanted
hairs take root and grow.
Ladies who wish to have large and
IanguorouS eyes can be made happy by
undergoing a surgical incision at each
extremity of the eyeiids; and even the
color of eyes is changed by the intro
duction of pigments which will give
them the hue Of violets or the dark,
flashing depths of brown with which
Spanish beauties work such havoc on
susceptible man.
Women whose noses are more heav-
en-aspiring than their thoughts, can,
and do, have them Strengthened by cut
ting away some of the cartilage; and
surgical operations are performed daily
to make refractory ears shapelys and to
remove redundant chins-
To preserve their figures many women
undergo the pains of starvation and

intoxicants of all kinds. She takes fire.
