rim CCSTUr1ES FOR THE HOUSEhlAI WAITRESS AND KITCHEN NAD
VERY housemaid is measured by

~ VERY housemaid IL measured by
KS her apron. Tho fresher and
EF)) prettier 1t Is. the more OF an or
nament is the girl to the estab-
liShment with which she is iden-
titled. Mistresses who value the impor-
lance OF small details look we'll to the
ways OF their maids In this particular.
and the results Justify the time and
thought expended.
Some women prefer to have their maids
aproned always after one pattern. but it
Is wiser to allow some latitude in the mat
ter. The Uniform idea is all right. but
the maid herself VIII be much happier If
allowed to vary it occasionally. Anybody,
even maid, grows weary Of clothes cut
eternally after one fashion.
It Is for the benefit of the mistress and
maid that this page of apron ideas Is
furnished. In accordance with approving
sentiment in favor OF variety. the aprons
are moro unique and more elaborate than
formerly. White muslin remains. as it al
ways must, the standard material. But
Powered dirnity is a newly accepted and
dainty suggestion. Bbs are made moro
coauettish by the use OF embroidery or
the addition OF little shoulder pieces The
caps that complete the apron costume are
oftentimes butterfly shaped and edged
with Valenciennes lace.
One of these new aprons has the oib
over the tops of the seeves long, hem
stitched frils The skirt ts full gathered.
and falls nearly to the bottom Of the
gown 1t is hemstttched. and 1t ties about
tho waist, and Is fastened behind with a
big bow knot The butterfly cap Is caught
in the centre with a knot of black velvet
ribbon.
For tho table waitress a Hamburg
trimmed apron is recommended The
pretty ono here shown has the bib formed
of two cross bands OF embroidery, which
connect the shoulder straps OF tho san1s.
The skirt part is fitted over the hips with
out gathers, and behind Is fastened by a
white bow, with long streamer ends edged
with embroidery. The cap. with its dou
BILE bow on each side. is edged with Va
lenciennes lace and caught in the centre
with black velvet knot.
Milady herself. when she needs to don
an apron for trip to the kitchen or Tor
any little household duties which she SUI
pervises personally, may have Powered
dinity for her protection. The apron, bib
and all. Is made in one piece, which fits
closely to the figure. 1t may be very eff
fectivey bound all the way around with
a gold or pink cloth to match the pink
flower IN the pattern. The bottom is
edged with deep gathered founce. which
dips in the front and is raised high in
graduated fashion In the back
The kitchen maid. of course, does not
need an elaborate apron. A plain bibbed
apron. neatly machine stitched all the
way around, hemmed at the bottom and
tied with full strings behind serves
the purpose. a lace-edged handkerchief
square may be knotted in the centre for
the cap.

81 have seen twice in your columns d
request for q recipe for making .aerated
bread. My father at one time On 1860
Invented machine for making aerated
bread with compressed air The machine
was intended for family use. but he could
NOT get IL patented. because the original
patent read gas or air. The bread was
first made by the patentee at Albany,
y. Y. 1t is made of flour, salt and water,
which IS put into the machine and thor
oughly mixed, while carbonic acid gas is
forced through 1t under q high pressure.
The dough is then drawn from the cylin-
der. or forced from 1t through q faucet,
which gives it the rough appearance on
top. So you see q recipe would not be OF
much use without the machinery to evolve
the product. E. E. H.
thank ''E. z. H" for enabling me to
answer authoritatively the oft-propound-
ed query relative to aerated bread and for
telling us why no machinery for making
il has been placed In the hands of the
housewife. The bread, now seldom seen
in bakers shops, was very popular some
years ago. and deserved the praise it re-
ce!ved from good judges. AS long as I
could get Il I used no Other for toast It

ANDERSON FLOppHD

The sailors charged with threaten
ing to kill j. Anderson, were tried in
the Police Court yesterday afternoon.
Anderson refused to give any evidence
against the men and the consequence
was that they were all discharged.
Something had undoubtedly happened
between Monday morning at the time
OF the trial for, on the former occa-
sion he rushed into the police station
saying he was afraid Of his life and
telling the authorities that he had been
attacked by gang of union sailors out
in the direction of the railroad wharf.
II was with confidence on the part Of
the prosecution that Anderson was put
on the stand and told to give his yer
sion of the affair>bu through fear, or
something akin thereto, he positively
declined to say anything against the
union sailors who sat and smiled con
fidently during the progress of the
trial
Anderson declared that the defen-
dants were all good fellows and that
he had absolutely nothing against
them. Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth
saw what had taken place and so,
without further parley, moved for a
nolle prosequi in the case of the de-
PENDANTS.
