How to Cook n Turkey,
ms Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Times-Democrat
''Ninety-nine women out of every one
hundred. ninety-nine cooks out of every
hundred, will bake turkey with the
back to the PAN" said a New Orleans man
who keeps in touch with the kitchen. land
this is a mistake. l said ninety-nine out of
every one hundred. Rather should L have
said that the mistake is almost universally
made. But few cooks every think of cook
ing the turkey any other way. There seems
TO be a demand for well-brOWned turkey
breast. But in browning the breast they
sacrifice the sweetness OF this part of the
fowl The best way to prepare a turkey is
to bake il with the breast down. / learned
this lesson from Nine Begue, whose place
down in the Old Quarter near the French
market has become famed all over the
country She never thinks of baking a
turkey with the breast up. The breast is
turned to the bottom of the pan, and in
stead of being dry and tasteless when il is
served ii is richly favored and as sweet
and juicy as one would care to have it.
You see, all the fine fiavoring of the tur-
key, the juices of the dressing. and all the
daintier touches flow down toward the
breast of the fowl. and when the white
meat is served you get the full benefit Of
every flavor added during the processes of
preparing and baking the turkey, in addi-
ton to the distinctive taste of the fowl it
self. Inconvenient and awkward? Not at
all 1t is just easy 10 cook a turkey in
this way as in any other way and the re-
suit is infinitely more satisfactory. Ii is no
trouble to arrange the fowl in the pan: If
YOU desire 10 place the fowl on the table
look quite we'll as it would if baked in
the usual way, and certainly il will taste
much better than il would if you baked the
breast until 1t was dry and favorless."

Black silk capes. covered with black chan

combined with black lace for evening or

grays are the preferred tints for evening.
Long cloaks of white and salmon pink.

This years edition of the large and stiff
black velvet hat has its severe lines re-
lieved only by bands of Russian lace and
dropping plumes, and is considered one of
the seasons best styles. The tricOrn hat
caught with velvet straps and tiny buckles
and adorned with large fluffy pompon is
a generally becoming shape and is seen
very often. Cypress green and dark brown,
in velvet, are much used in millinery.
Handsome designs in cut steel and crystal
are employed for hat ornaments. Arabian
lace is used for turban and toque trim
ming, and filmy net embroidered in gold
comes in as brim facing on handsome black
velvet hats. Louisine silks and new armure
weaves are taken by many milliners in
stead of taffeta and liberty satin for drap-
cry.
Black. royal blue. brown and white, with
rings of large polka dots OF white are the
preferred colorings in the chiffon veilings
used for hat dra2ery Some blue and brown
veilings are dotted in self color. In fancy
black veilings the wide mesh is still fash
ionable, and black tulle embroidered in
medium-sized figures is the latest form of
this yelling.

Modes of Hairdressing.

New York Sun.
The fashions in hair dressing are varied
between the two extremes and the decision
as to which is most becoming usually set
ties the style of couture.
The low coil which falls on the neck is
intended especially for full evening dress
and is not at all desirable with high gowns,
as IL soon ruins the collars. For day wear
with hat the figure eight twisted at the
back of the neck, but not falling a bit be-
low the collar, is popular style 1t extends
usually we'll up toward the crown of the
head, but the length is a matter of taste
entirely.
The front parting is very much worn.
but the pompadOur f1attened somewhat on
the top of the head is quite as popular
when it is most becoming, the full puffy
effect at the sides being universal, what
ever else you may do to your hair. 1t seems
TO be the one and only arbitrary rule. The
millinery controls this feature to great
extent since there is no such thing as find
ing a becoming stylish hat unless your hair
is pulled out the sides With this one
exception you can adapt any mode TO your
particular style and rest assured that your
hair is dressed in the latest fashion.
With the low coil rose and bud are
sometimes worn just back of the ear, and
the wreath of tiny flowers is also good
style Strands of pearls are twisted in the
hair with very pretty effect, and whatever
your hair ornament is it must be fine ard
dainty.

Beefsteak with Oyster Blanket.
Good Housekeeping.

Good Housekeeping.
Beefsteak with an oyster blanket makes
an excellent breakfast for a cold Novem-
Der morning. Choose juicy sirloin about
one and one-haf inches thick. Broil it
it over clear fire for five minutes, then
lay on hot platter. Spread with butter,
sprinkle with pepper and salt. Have ready
one pint of large, plump oysters, which
should be washed in one cup Of water.
Drain the liquor away from them and lay
them over the beafsteak till it has a real
oyster blanket. Sprinkle with pepper and
salt and dot with bits of butter. Place IL
on the upper CRATE in very hot oven or
under the flame in a gas stove oven and
allow the heat to cook the oysters. When
the shellfish are plump the steak will be
done TO a turn.

MANY WOMEN WHO WORK
SURPRISING NUMBER NOW ENGAGED
IN GAINFUL OCCUPATIONS.
Classification of Them Made I'm Adj
vance of Census Bureaus's
OhiciaI Report.

Correspondence Of the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Census Blu
reau in Washington is busy collecting the
returns Of women engaged in 'gainful oc-
equations" The record will not be ready
for some time, but the indications are that
the showing will be surprising. The num-
Der of women at work In this country
grows larger every year, and the field of
womens work is increasing as the number
occupying that field grows larger. Com
paratively few years ago the occupations
of women were almost wholly of domestic
character. In some parts of New England
women worked in the mills, but sewing and
other domestic labor occupied the attention
of a majority of the women workers. To-
day women are excluded from very few
occupations in this country. To be sure,
they have not fallen to the level of the
women of Europe who work in the coal
mines and the fields and are even harnessed
before the plow. But have seen women in
the West helping to gather the crop on a
farm, and. in Nova Scotia, active farming
is quite as much woman's as mans occu-
patton. When the last annual report of
the census was made there were 100000 of
women earning their own living. The num-
Der has been more than doubled in ten
years, and the rate of increase was out of
all proportion to the increase in the num-
Der Of male workers. Approximately, these
women were occupied in the professional
world as follows:
