Chocolate Eclafrs.

Put half a pint of cold water into a
saucepan with two ounces of sugar and
four ounces of butter and pinch of salt:
when the water boils remove the pan from
the stove and add by degrees five ounces
of fine. dry flour and stir quickly until a
smooth paste is formed. Replace the
saucepan on the stove and continue to stir
the mixture until it leaves the sides of the
pan without sticking: then put 1t aside
for little while. When it is partly cold
add three raw eggs, one at time, beating
each well into the paste before adding
another; after the eggs are thoroughly
mixed give the paste final beating and
1t will be ready for use.
Put some of it into a forcing bag and
press 1t on to clean baking tin which HIS
been lightly busted with flour; make each
eclair about four inches in length and half
an inch in diameter; brush the eclairs
over with some beaten egg and bake them
at once in moderately hot oven for about
half an hour.
If no forcing bag is at hand, spoon can
be used to shape the cellars When they
are done they should be well puffed up and
golden brown in color. Let them cool on a
sieve, and when they are quite cold make

knife and carefully fill them with some

sweetened and favored to taste. Close

Simplicity has gene out of fashion for the
moment. To be in the swim We must wear
the costliest and most beautiful materi-

Artistic Millinery.

1t Is necessary that, besides artistic taste
and lightnes5 of touch, the home milliner
possess a certain amount of technical
knowledge. The amateur milliner, too,
must never be too proud to accept hints
from those who have learned the business.
The first thing 10 do in trimming hat
is TO partly insert the head lining. This
should always be Of a good quality sarce-
ret. A quarter of yard cut on the bias
is sufficient for hat, that the difference
in the cost of a good liring and common
one is very trifiing, while the difference in
appearance is very great. A piece rather
larger than the crown should be cut from
one end and held in its place with a few
stitches at each corner. The remainder of
the strip can be cut lengthwiSe into two
and Joined SO as to make long strip.
This can be fastened to where the brim and
crown meet, using long stitches inside the
hat and very small ones outside The free
edge can then be turned over and hemmed,
and when the nat is finished china ribbon
should be run through the hem and drawn
up to the required size.
To bind the edge Of n hat with velvet a
cIcssway strip must be used. One edge can
be turned over and secured with velvet
stitch'-i e., working from right to left.
and taking small piece on the fold and
then a small piece under the fold just a
little to The left. The free edge is put on
the upper edge of the hat and held in place
with half back stitching. The other edge
is then turned to the underside of the brlm
The fold round the crown must be laid
on very loosely and secured in one or two
places with double knots passed through
and tied inside the hat. Feathers. wings
or quilts should next be securely Sewed
with double cotton in any desired position.
1t is important to make them stand high,
as amateurs always sew them down low
as possible, thus giving the hat a dowGy
appearance.
In making bows it is always advisable to
have a picture of a bow and copy it first in
glazed calico cut to the width of the rib
bon. The calico ribbon should be held over
the forefinger of the left hand, while the
ends should be plated up tightly and Sc
cured with florists wire with the right
hand. 1t will then be whether the
effect is right, and the loops of the real
ribbon can be made the right length to
give the right effect. Unless the ribbon is
Of a very soft make the loops need not be
wired If supports are needed. some round
bonnet wire should be twisted to form a
letter T and the cross part of the T at
tached to the ribbon.
Lace should always be wired with very
fine wire, but lace wings require rather a
coarSer wire.
If piece material is used, it should a.
ways be cut on the cross, it sets so
much better and is much more easy to
manipulate than when it is cut on the
straight.

There is promising field for artistic
dressing during the new season, and If
women fail to accomplish this it will be
no fault of the materials, colors, trimmings
and, apparently, models, as there is every
thing TO be desired. Each week the shops
display additional novelties in materials and
trimmings as well. so there should be little
difficulty in getting gown in line for the
Easter parade.
Inc modes of this last spring of the nine
tctnth century present these familiar fea-
lures:
The princess dress.
The polonaise.
The overskirt and tie tunic.
The plated skirt
The bolcro and the Elton jacket
The box coat.
The lavish use of lace, embroidery and
fringe.
And the long, soft, pliable effect of near
" every gown.
The new end of the century dresses, like
me Old beginning of the century dresses
are tilmy and clinging Fashion seems de-
telntined to round out the cycle in the man
ncr in which it began.
