This gown is of pale yellow mousseline
and 1T falls off the shoulders in the most
coquettish manner The little straps
which fall off the shoulders want
particularly to impress this fact in
your mind-are ,ornamented with Two
tremendous big Black velvet bows. Be
ginning under the arms and meeting
over the bust in front are two bands
OF gray lace insertion, with wide black
velvet ribbons run through them. These
bands run in straight lines down to the
BOSTON, of the skirt, which is further
ornamented with three more bands u

That girl is certainly great on ros-
cites, for in front of her little girdle
are two plump ones of more than re-

A half pound of rice requires two quarts
of boiling water in which two teaspoon
fuls of salt have been dissolved. The rice
must stew slowly without a cover and
cold water may be added occasionally to
keep it from hard boiling. The grains
should be unbroken and when the rice is
done it should be turned out to drain
upon a napkin, then turned over into the
stew pan with an ounce of butter. 1t
must not be stirred or touched while
cooking, as this breaks and discolors the
grains.
There are so many excellent chutney
sauces to be had at the grocer's shops, as
we'll as India relishes innumerable, that
the making of these is not generally at
tempted. There is delicious mango
chutney made in England which is excel
lent enough for any taste and there are
any number of the India relishes now on
the market. A simple sauce of this char
acter is made from four tablespoons of
cold gravy, one of chutney paste, one of
ketchup, one of vinegar two teaspoonfuls
of made mustard, two of salt and two of
butter. These ingredients are mixed
smoothly in a soup plate.
Curried dishes can be best cooked and
served in chatting dish. Cold boiled or
baked fish when warmed in a good cur
ried sauce is delightful breakfast dish.
In fact, the prejudice existing generally
against warmed-over foods would vanish
if housekeepers would learn to add a lit
tie curry powder to foods in their second
service.

OF the Whims of it's cook, who accustons
its MEMBERSHIP set form of foods. and
any innovation would be regarded as an
irregularity.
The recreative laws of change apply
just as strongly to the list of foods we
eat as to our environment, habits, amuse-
ments. A stimulating change of diet is as
necessary as a change of scene and sur
roundings sometimes becomes to an in
valid.
one OF the pleaSanteSt innovations in
the weekly menu list is the introduction
of curried dishes, which in the last few
seasons have grown in favor in America.
Instead of seeking variety in tins and
jars the modern housekeeper now stud
les up the subject of cooking with the
pounded spices Of the East as a pungent
and pleasant addition. Those who like
the hot Spanish dishes, the spices and
peppered ragouts of France take natural
ly to the East Indian cookery. Curried
dishes so popular on English tables have
only recently gained any particular vogue
in this country While they would speed
lily become monotonous if served too fire.
quently, their pungency of taste and fla
vor makes them welcome innovation in
the routine Of the weekly menus. Amer
leans demand much milder form of
curry than that preferred in England, but
the palate that becomes accustomed to
the dish is rapidly cultivated to an ap-
probation of the spiciest and hottest of
the powders.
A Fifth avenue restaurateur who i'm
ported an Oriental chef from one of the
London hotels, who prepares and serves
curried dishes, has done much to make
this form of cookery better known and
better liked by New Workers. The SER
vice has become a feature of the place
and the chef is showered with compli-
ments from the grateful guests, who con-
sumo his spicy preparations served in
state by picturesque Oriental in turban
and white linen. Most foods lend them
selves admirably to this form of cooking,
notably eggs, rice, shrimps, lobster and
crabs, chicken and lamb. Rice is inva-
riably served with the curried dishes as
an accompaniment, and Indian sauces
