The Practical House Gown.


Few women realize the comfort that
can be gotten out of practical little
house gown. OF course | am not al
luding to the luxurious tea gowns or
her at-home day. The house gown is
essentially an every day affair. With
just ever so little pains it can be made
a charming toilet dress, combining
rare amount of chic with a certain
dainty picturesqueness says the Phila-
delphia Times. How often last
years tailor made skirt and passe
silk blouse usurp the place of this
pleasing little cashmere house gown.
But the makeshift cannot bring the
peace of mind that possesses a woman
who is becomingly gowned, no matter
at what hour the pop caller descends
on her. A gown of periwinkle blue
cashmere illustrated so well the Won
ders that are wrought by a novel trim
ming of velvet. The skirt was made
with a double tune suit in Vandyke
points around the bottom and edged
with narrow bias fold of black vel
vet 1t was close fitting over the hips
with the flare commencing just half
way down. The corsage was a blouse
of the cashmere fastening at the left
side in a slanting line of Vandyke
points. 1t was covered all over with
appliques of black velvet forming discs
an inch and a half in diameter. These
were ornamented with steel threads,
which formed also little dots between
the discs The short basques of the
blouses were formed by overlapping
Vandyke points of the cashmere Dor
dered with narrow bias fold of black
velvet. The velvet bordered also the
points on the upper part of the blouse,
and those that fell over the tops of
the sleeves. The high collar was of
black velvet.

Coffee Cream.
This is delightful addition to "a

the trouble it entails: You must boil
calf's head till it comes down to a
pint of jelly. This you must clear

good strong coffee (the berry is better
for the purpose than the essence), and
clear it with isinglass Pour it on to
the jelly, add pint of cream, and
and when slightly cooled off, pour into
a glass mold, and turn out when set.
stewed Ok Tongue.
Where an OK tongue is to be eaten
hot, this is the best way in which to
cook it: Having washed it, rub it well
with coarse salt and little saltpetre;
let it lie for three days, and then boil
until the skin can easily be removed.
Now put it into a saucepan with a
pint of good stock and about half a
pint of the water in which it was first
boiled; season with black and Jamaica
pepper, two cloves, tablespoonful of
mushroom ketchup, a tablespoonful of
lemon-picllle, or if not, lemon juice.
Stir, without boiling, until perfectly
tender; take up the tongue, strain and
thicken the sauce with flour and but
ter, and pour it over-serving at once.
