SOuPS-


Soups" is the subject of the follow
ing excellent article written by Jane E.
Clemens for the HOusekeeper:
Every housekeeper Is supposed to
know how to make soups, you may say.
But there is no branch of cookery so i'm
perfectly understood, as a whole, by the
average cook, as the preparation of
soups with variety.
To make nutritious, healthful and pal
atable soup, with flavors properly com
mingled, is an art which requires study
and practice 1t is surprising from what
a scant stock of material a delicate and
appetizing dish may be produced.
A good base for soup IS unlocked lean
meat allowing pound to each quart
Of water A nicely favored soup may
be made by adding a mixture of mutton
and veal, cut fine, and a bit of ham bone
We'll broken up; or chicken or turkey
bone may be substituted In using fresh
meat throw the pieces as cut into the
right quality Of sailed cold water
and let stand until the juices of the
meat begin to color it, then bring slowly
TO a boil and remove all scum that rises.
The soup is done when the meat is juice
less and tender
When remnants Of cooked meats are
used, chop fine, crush the bones, add a
Dit OF ham or salt pork, and all ends OF
roasts and fatty parts; strain, set away
over night, skim off the fat (Which
should be clarified and saved for drip
pings). and it is ready to heat thorough
~ and serve. Soups which form the
principal part of a meal should be rich.

Popular COlOrs in Gloves.
Pearl gray still remains the popular
shade for gloves in New York and other
eastern cities; white, of course, is al
ways in favor, but the up-to-date wo-
man demands gray on most occasions.
Many women buy dark gloves, believ-
ing them to be more economical, but in
this she makes a mistake, because a
dark glove seldom cleans nicely, while
light ones may be cleaned any number
of times

Handsome Jewels.
The Empress of Russia has the most
beautiful sapphires in the world and
she also possesses wonderful collection
of turquoise, though it is not equal to
that of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts,
who, indeed, is said to have the finest
collection that exists.
The sapphire is one of the most va1u-
able and interesting of gems, and is only
less costly than the diamond and the
ruby. Dark, indigo hued stones are
known as male" while the pale blue
are called female sapphires, but the
most priced tint of all is a lovely corn
flower blue.
Turquoises of remarkable beauty are
becoming more and more rare. The
character of this gem adds to its inter-
est, for it is believed to have some sort
OF sympathy for its wearer. 1t is said
to grow paler if its owner becomes i'll
and to lose its beauty entirely if worn
by person of muddy complexion.
Probably these very sensitive turquoises
come from the Arabian mines, which
have not a good name among jewelers.
on account of the liability of the stones
to change color. The most famous tur-

STA, which have been worked no less
than eight centuries These pretty
stones, however, are to be found in
many parts of the world, one of them
being Saxony.
