GRAPE AND APPLE SWEETS
A DELICIOUS CIDER JELLY AND
RUSSET MARMALADE.
Grape Punch Quite Possible Now
When the Fruit is Abundant,
Good and Cheap.

Many jelly lovers leave apples out OF their
list half regretfully. because this delicately
co'ored sweet is 80 insipid." 1t is ordina-
rily made SO insipid because water is used
in boiling, whereas currant and grape jel-
lies are made of undiluted fruit juice. Made
after the following recipe apple jelly has
the distinctive tang of other pure fruit
sweets:
Fill preserving kettle full of any strong
ly favored red apples Of color is desireO
and add as much fresh, sweet cider as the
kettle will hold. Boil the whole to rags
and tatters, adding a little more cider, II
the fruit should become too thick. Half
Lozen cloves give an added but not tell
tale spiciness. The liquid is then strained
through the jelly bag, and pound of sugar
allowed for each pint of juice. Boil for ten
minutes, Swimming carefully, fill the glasses
and cover with branded paper. This makes
a highly favored and firm jelly, and
those who like sweets with meats will lind
it excellent as an accompaniment for goose
duck.
Another delicious apple sweetmeat is rus
set marmalade, for which only the tart,
coarse-grained winter russell apple should
be used When boiled with sugar the hesh
of this apple gives a slightly graduated
marmalade which is very pleasant and not
at all apple saucy.
Peel the apples as thnly possible and
cut in halves. Add water enough to boil
till tender. Press through a colander. To
every cupful of apples add three-quarters
of a cup of sugar. Put all in a double
boiler and add thin slices of lemon from
which the rind has not been removed. Let
it simmer without a cover for several
hours. Fill into jam pots, with slice or
two Of the lemon to each pot. Cover Win
branded paper
Both these sweets keep indefinitely, and
may be made late in the season, when
other fruits are scarce.
Another late, cheap and abundant fruit Is
the grape, from which may be concocted q
beverage to cheer and not nebriate. Grapes
Cover quantity with water. boil for half
an hour, strain through flannel cloth, re-
turn to preserving kettle, add sugar to
taste, bring the liquid to the boiling point,
fill it into glass cans, just as one would can
fruit, and seal. This Is the stock for sim
pie or complex punches Take two-quart
glass fruit can, pour into it a quart OF
cooking sherry. Into this throw an orange
rind, a lemon rind, the juice of one lemon.
the juice Of two oranges, two dozen cloves.
half a nutmeg and a teacupful of rosewa-
ter. (ROsewater can be purchased reason
ably by the pint at a wholesale drug Store.)
In ten days, when the sherry has absorbed
these various favors, it may be strained
off and corked. This favored sherry with
sugar may be added to the grape juice as
desired in the proportion of one part sherry
to three parts grape. With cracked ice it
makes delicious punch, while a quart OF
it would not eXhilarate the most temperate

Fancy Buttons,

Buttons are extravagant and fanciful.
Partisan diamonds and old French enamel,
or anything really good, can be utilized for
this purpose. The little coates, made
either double or single-breasted require
buttons of some kind, either three at each
side or three at one side though, If they
be very large. only two need be used.
Then, plain serges and tweeds are finished
with velvet collars and curious gun-metal
buttons suited to this style of garment.
Dull gray rough silk buttons like those
used on mems coats have chic of their
own, and are undeniably good taste.

Cloth Gowns.


T s
Cloth street gowns are at present occupy
ing the minds of tailors and dressmakers,
not to mention the people who are to wear
the costumes. 1t will not be many weeks
now before it viii be time to wear them.
The first gowns that are turned out are
quite mple in design. made with the plain
skirt and smart coat but the cloth gowns
for winter wear are exceedingly elaborate,
and grow more every day, fer the latest
designs call for SO much heavy trimming.
The skirts slashed at the sides to show
panels of contra sting color. show also a
mass of embroidery and braiding rich
cut work. or some material that is bro
caded has a pattern embroidered on 1t.
The fronts of the waists that show through
the open jackets are of lace embroidery,
or Of satin or brocade with beautiful de-
signs OF hand-work. embroidery in colored
silks outlined with silver or gold.

Variety in Hats.

women would find it most unbecoming. The
hair was almost without exception waved.
Variety in Hats.
The hats were of velvet and of felt trim
med with autumn flowers and foliage in
terspersed with choux of satin. Hats of
chiffon were to be seen, combined with bits
of fur and rich buckles. One hat of this
sort was of white plated chiffon and err
mine, glittering buckles of paste fixing the
bows of chiffon and lace on the crown and
the high. side tilted brim.
Some striking hats of the Louis Seize

sort fat and broad and trimmed low were
to be seen. The hat that crowns the head
of the Princess de Lamballe in her famous
portrait is a type of this style. Another
revival is the tricorn shape, very much like
an eighteenth century hat. Toques with
the toreador brm are still seen. although
they not considered ultra chic. Feath-
ers and wings trim the smart millinery. but
the manufacturers assure us that most of
the plumage is artificial, which in some
cases may be true, but cannot be so of the
afgretteS and plumes.
Double Sleeves Now.
Sleeves flare out below the elbow, and
even on wraps have a tendency to follow
the demand for the double sleeve. An eX-
ample of this was seen in a drectore coat
of broadtail, with underseeves of ermine
to match the facing of collar and revers.
On cloth coates narrow cuff of cloth is
often set on the sleeve just little below
the shoulder. and the part of the sleeve be-
tween 1T and the elbow is then stitched or
braided to contrast with the upper sleeve.
The smart autumn tailor-made costume
is not complete without waistcoat. This
some contrasting material and color. In
the case of a heathercolored tweed gown
the wastcoat was of broche silk, the facing
of collar and revers being of bronze silk
and velvet.
We may count on seeing and wearing
good deal of red this winter. The shades
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-11-03

will vary from the very brightest to the
dark and dull sealing wax tnge. Magenta,
wine red and the new bois de rose, which
is a brownish red all may be counted on
as leading in popularity. A great deal of
gold is used in trimming the red garments,
so that the winter girl of 1900 IS one who
will CLEAN in scarlet and gold. One of the
new fabrics of the winter, designed for
trimming or for evening wear, consists of
gold and silver tissue, the metallic threads
eing interviewer with silk or wool.

Becoming Neck FixinEs.
Shawl, fichu, sailor and surplice effects,
scarfs, stocks, shoulder capes, ties, etc.,
are all sold for neckwear. Collarettes, with
long, flowing ends, are worn for the theater
and concerts. The tendency is to simplify
the collar. Some gowns are cut with low,
round neck, surrounded only by bit Of
lace. which is highly artistic for a plump,
shapely neck, but is Instantaneous for
scrawny or disfgured ones, which most
stock-imprisoned collar-wearing necks
usually are
The ends OF bows and ties are now en-
riched with jeweed ornaments, which, al
though sewed on one by one. resemble a
short fringe. Jeweled embroideries in the
shape of long bands trim some fashionable
evening gowns seen upon the stage and IN
the leading ateliers. This would indicate
that jeweed trimmings will follow close on
the heels of gold ones

BULLER'S NEW DANGER,
His Line of Retreat Threatened Be-
tween Springfield and
COlensO.
A Rumor That the Beers Are Moving
Out to Intercept the British in
the Vicinity of ChieveIey.

NEW YORK, January 30.-A London dis
patch to the Journal says: Fresh conster-
nation has been caused in military circles
by the report that the Beers nave followed
up their advantage by swiftly moving down
from Colenso to the road between Chieve-
ley and Springfield, in an attempt to cut off
Gen. Buffers line of retreat.
A London dispatch to the World saws;
Buffers danger is now forcing itself on the
military experts. A committee of national
defense has already taken it up and is
gravely considering it. Lord Roberts, him
self. has communicated his anxiety, it is
said. He has, it is reported, cabled the
committee that unless Butler and his force
arrive safely from their present position TO
the south of the Little Tugela river, they
will be in imminent danger of having their
communications cut off. Lord Roberts has
pointed out that Butler has with him an
immense transport train, carrying his am
munition and supplies. This interferes
with the mobility of his army.
Buffers main force is now about % miles
from its base at Frere and Chieveley. 1t
is between the Big Tugela river, over
which he has to retreat in order to begin
the march to it's base. That part Of it
tOlAPiAolI6 1gl LitSOn , DIiSdue may SIlll
be on the north side of the Tugela at
Potgieters drift, though it is generally be-
lieved that 1t, too, has retreated over the
river.
1t will take days for Buffers army to get
back to its base. Meantime the Beers are
a few miles away from that in force at
Colenso, only a few miles away from that
base. Last Tuesday they crossed the river
there and made a reconnaissance of the
British camp, evidently with a view of as
certaining the strength of the force which
Gen. Butler left behind to guard his base
and communications The party that
crossed came into contact with Buffers
rear guard and killed several of the British.
That reconnaissance indicated a purpose
on the part of the Beers TO cut Buffers
communications. Should they hurI an
overwhelming force over the Tugela and
crush the British at Chieveley, they would
nave Butler in a trap.

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, January &c.
At Narrows Station. on the Norfolk &
Western Railroad. a few miles south
OF here. just across the Virginia line,
Rebecca Fitzgerald and John Wright,
her paramour, were shot to death last
night on a crowded depot platform ly
Christopher Fitzgerald, the wronged
husband.
All the parties are residents of
Bluefield, and both men were quite
we'll known, Fitzgerald being a pas
senger brakeman on the Norfolk &
Western Railroad.
For several years Fitzgerald was
suspicious that intimate relations ex-
listed between his wife and Wright.
and of late Wright would frequently
openly visit the Fitzgerald home in the
husbands absence.
Two weeks ago Fitzgerald and
Wright came to blows IN the street,
and when Fitzgerald returned to his
home he would have killed his wife
had not friends interfered.
Mrs. Fitzgerald then left for a visit
to a sister at Narrows
Last night Fitzgerald, learning that
Wright was going to Narrows. dis.
guised himself and boarded the same
train.
When Wright reached his destina-
ton Mrs. Fitzgerald was there TO
greet him. Fitzgerald walked around
the depot and met his wife and
Wright face to face.
Without uttering a word, he fired
two bullets at Wright, both of which
took effect in the right breast, and he
fell to the floor a corpse.
His wife gave a shrek and turned
to run into the waiting room, but her
husbands aim with the pistol was
good, and another shot felled her TO
the platform, the bullet entering her
back and penetrating her pocy.
Fitzgerald Immediately passed into
the darkness. and the ~supposition ia
that he fed to the mountains nearby.
A number Of persons on the train
witnessed the awful tragedy, and
great confusion reigned about the de-
pot among the assembled throng.
Only three shots were fired and no
bullets went wild.
A deputy sheriff and several citi-
zens are in search of Fitzgerald, and
b~loodhounds were sent TO the scene,
but it is believed that the murderer
will never be captured. Some predict
that he may surrender.
Public sympathy is with Fitzgerald
