A Few Fashion Fancies.

White is the seal of fashion this sea-
son. without doubt, and pale blue
ranks next.
Chinese as we'll as japanese house
Gowns are to be worn this winter, and
the former are even more splendid IN
color and workmanship than the latter.
The Chinese robe has not the fullness
or soft grace of the kimona, but 1t is
very effective garment.
The pompadour has lost the vogue
that made it for the last three years
the most popular form OF couture
The mode will go altogether so soon as
the women of Paris have hair enough
10 return to the bang or fringe OF old
which is said to be the fashion OF the
near future. W.
While sable and Persian lamb, broad -.
tail and seal, lead from standpoint OF
actual fashion, all fur is popular ana
the style depends more upon the way
the fur is treated than upon the acIual
skin. Ermine, that nearly prriceless
stuff, is very much in style, put lts
cost keeps it away from the common
purse.
Small women will stick to the bolero
or very short jacket. There is no
doubt about this. For the real Pa
risienne will wear only what suits her,
which accounts, probably, for the fact
that She is alw avs well dressed, whereas
the women of other countries who fol,
low her ideas slavishly are well dressed
or not. as the case may be.
One scheme of color with very little
contrast of any sort is the correct
thing for real aristocratic elegance. II
The gown is blue the hat and boa are
blue also. relieved only by bit of lace
or a flower and a delicate touch OF
black in the finish of a bodice. The
contrast when there is decided one
of anv sort is in the hat, which may be
black or white, or combination OF BOTH
Sleeves are very long, ridiculously So
one might say. When a, woman
knuckles are hidden, and only the tips
of her fingers peep forth, then the limit
Of length can be claimed. The very
long sleeves are curved on the under
side to permit of the using of the
hands. 1t is a pretty custom to tie
niece of baby width ribbon to the
Sleeve to keep it down, the ribbon be
;rg attached to the middle finger.

The kitchen comparatively admins
tered may become an inspiration for
the man of the house as well as
for wider knowledge and better
skill in the matter of household diet,
than which there is no subject of more
direct importance to the health and
happiness of all those who eat.
In the intricate business of house
keeping things should not be done
without a reason. This is particularly
necessary in that special grace Of the
home, the extension of its hospitality.
Fashion and good form are often an
tagonistic, for it is not good form for
the mistress of a modest little home
and "one" to attempt to initiate the
fashion followed by an establishment
with many.-From the American

MUSHROOMS A LA N0BLEssE.

CThis dish was served at meeting of the New
York Theological Club, and voted great sue

And at expense ne'er mutter

Cut fine, and gently simmer
Ten minutes, just about VIII 40,
Don't scorch or you're sinner.
OF strained tomatoes use a cup;
A quarter one of cheese;

Some pepper now-don't sneeze!

And smoothly make all leayen;
Pour over toast, then quickly eat,
And dream you are in heaven. >,

HOW SHE FOUND THE RECIPE.

George Eliot was a slave to the in
huence of the hunchback and clubfoot-
ed man, and did no literary work upon
the day when she saw one. Caroline
Herschel firmly believed that If she
met a cross-eyed beggar in the morn
ing it presaged the discovery of a new
star that night.
Harriet Beecher Stowe believed that
it was bad luck to throw away tooth
brush which had outlived its useful
ness, and to the anguish of her house
hold preserved everyone that she ever
used. Rosa Bonheur treasured small
lead image of st. Anthony of Padua as
lucky charm.
Queen Victoria cherished number
of superstitions, and among them she
believed that the removal of her we'd
ding ring would surely bring calamity,
and that pet Manx cat would bring
luck to the household.
Lady Maillais, the wife of the great
painter, was convinced that the crack
of doom would sound for any one who
stepped on crack in the sidewalk.
Sarah Bernhardt has the dried eye
of a mummy and an uncut emerald OF
great size, which she imagines are nee
essary to her success, Eleanora Duse
is sustained by small copper crucifix
wrought in Siberian prison.
The cynical John Oliver Hobbies has
a childlike faith in tiny image of a
hideous Hindu god which she wears as
a charm. Amelie Kussner, the min1a-
ture painter, wears an ugly bracelet
woven of silvery white horsehair from
the name of some sheik's favorite
Arab to propitiate the god of art.

Downs Elixir.

For more than 70 years Downs
Elixir has been the most popular

throat and lung trouble, and even
consumption.

The Christmas Dinner

In spite of the fact that the word
dvsnensia means literally bad cook, 1t
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. III
nav not be fair for any one to do that,
let us hope so for the sake of the COOK !
The N disease dyspepsia indicates bad
stomach, that is weak stomach,

No one can reasonably hope for good
health unless his bowels move once each
day. When this is not attended to, dis
orders of the stomach arise, bilious
