Of the season. Almost all the flowers worn

Pink cloaks are very usual, indeed. or else
pink trimmings.
Ladies have discarded evening wraps and

brougham 1T is more than enough, and lace
shawls look very charming indeed, especial
ly those light, filmy things in Limerick or

have been throughout this season, with the
sparkle of sequins and glittering threads,
which seem to lead up and mediate between
the blackness and the real lace at the decol-
letage. By the way, however pretty a wo-
mans arms and shoulders may be, a too
unlimited display is not particularly becom-
ing. There is more subtlety and charm in

1t is Seen Again More and More in

From the New Yosk Sun.
There are encouraging signs that red
pepper Is once, more to come into its own
on the table of New York restaurants and
hotels. For seven years something which
had by no means the same qualities as red
pepper has usurped it's place, and persons
accustomed to the genuine article have not
always found It possible to become recon-
ciled to the substitute. The reference is, of
course, to the Hungarian product, paprika,
which has many excellent qualities Of its
own, bue4s not to be looked upon as red
pepper e..
Possibly the costly and insinuative red
liquid yclept tabasco may have had some
thing to do with pushing dry red pepper 10
the wall and off the table. 1t has place

lovers Of highly seasoned viands at the

pepper Not only is 1t practically tasteless,
but what little flavor 1t may occasionally
possess is not lked-at least not appre-
ciated--by those who want something sharp
on their food. Moreover, 1t does not show
where 1t has been applied. whereas black
pepper puts itself In evidence in every indi-
vidual grain.

SaVOry Beef Pie.

Beat about two pounds of steak with a
rolling pin, then cut IL into rather thin
slices OF as nearly the same size as pos
sible; fiatten them out with a wet knife
and spread each with layer of the force
meat given below. Then roll the meat I'D
and pack 1t tightly in a stewpan; cover il
with brown stock (use few drops Of cara
mel If necessary to make IL a good color
and let 1t cook In a moderately hot oven
for an hour and half.
Remove the meat carefully and place IL
gelatin to 1t, which has been previously
soaked, In the proportion OF half an ounce
TO half a pint. If sheet gelatin is used
rather less than half the quantity would be
required. Strain the stock over the meat
and when ii is cold cover il with a good
light paste. which should be brushed over
with a beaten egg and baked in a we'll
heated oven.
The pie should be kept in a cold place
70" some time after 1t is quite cold, so that
the stock may set in a firm jelly. For the
forcemeat mix six ounces of fine white
bread crumbs with two tablespoOnfuls Of
chopped parsley. a dessertspoonful OF
finely minced onion, very little grated
lemon peel and two ounces of lean ham or
boiled bacon which has been pounded or
passed through a sieve Season with pep
per, salt and little grated nutmeg and
moisten the dry ingredients with sufficient
beaten egg to form a fairly soft paste.
