than might be supposed.
Wicker or willow chairs have long
been favored, for they are open enough
to allow the air to circulate freely
about the body, sufficiently pliable to
be shaped to fit the figure and strong
enough to bear a very considerable
strain. Exposure to inclement wealth
er does not injure willow furniture,
which is something which cannot be
said even for the bark covered, rough
hewn rustic sets. When woven chairs
are unpresentable, they may be stained
or enameled to look almost as nice as
new ones.
the season, may be easily applied to an
old set of furniture. The colors can
be selected from the card of any dealer
in household paints. No special skill
is required in using stains or enamels.
Cane chairs are now a fad. They are
made of the split witches OF rattan or
bamboo which are woven basket fash
ion or laid in rows to form a compact
cover for a slender wooden frame. Cane
chairs are a craze which we owe to
our cousins the Britons. English coun-
try families first made them the fash
ion, and certain American women who
lately basked in English hospitality
have taken up the cane furniture with
great enthusiasm.

Potatoes are part of almost every
meal, and to make them appreciated
they should be served in as many diff
ferent ways as possible:
Potato Cakes-Take equal quantities
Of mashed potatoes and flour, half that
of lard or good dripping, one tea
spoonful of baking powder, half a tea
spoonful of salt and one egg. Rub the
lard into the flour, and salt and bak-
ing powder, then the potatoes. Mix
with the egg. Bake from fifteen to
twenty minutes.
Souffle Potatoes-Take some good
sized potatoes, wash them as for roast
ing, cut slice off one end to allow the
potato to stand upright, then put them
into the oven to roast for an hour.
When sufficiently cooked, take them
out of the oven and cut off the round
end; take out the inside of each potato
with a teaspoon, put into basin, mix
with little pepper, salt, butter and an
egg. When we'll Mixed, put back into
the potato skins and put into the oven
to make them hot.
Potato Balls-Mash and pass through
a sieve three or four large mealy po-
tatoes. Mix with them beaten egg
and it's weight in powdered sugar; fla
vor with nutmeg and grated lemon
rind. Make into balls, dip into beaten
egg and breadcrumbs and fry in fat

Baked Potato Pl1ff-Rub enough cold
boiled potatoes through a wire sieve
to fill large breakfast cup. Put this
quantity in a basin, add to it two table
sponfuls of melted butter and whisk
and beat these till the potatoes look
white and smooth. Beat two eggs till
very frothy; add to them four table
spoonfuls of milk or cream. Mix with
the potato; season well; put into but
tered fireproof dish or small dishes
one for each person looks dainty. Bake
in quick oven till delicately Drowned
and puffy. Serve at once in the dish
in which they were cooked.
French Fried Potatoes-Peel some
potatoes and cut in finger lengths, not
too thick; cover with ice water, and if
they are old it is better to let them
stand for two hours. Drain, wipe dry
and fry in boiling fat, not too many
at time. When they are a nice
brown, lift the basket from the fat,
sprinkle with salt, shake the grease
from them and remove with a skim
ming spoon. Drain on paper and serve
at once.

some other piece OF furniture. It is no
longer a Ia mode to have ones chairs
entirely alike or even of one size. In
stead they must be picked UP now and
then at sales, until the house looks
like museum devoted to odd chairs.
Willow upholstered and carved speci-
mems are set together nIggledy pig
gledy, without any regard for harmony.
Naturally this is a mistake, Individ-
uallty in furnishing is the result of the
adoption of one kind of furniture
Bamboo, wicker or cane chairs go very
we'll with some wooden ones, but not
at all with the upholstered ones, More
over, when summer furniture is pur-
chased a keen eye should be used IN
examining the merchants wares, for
different shades of the same color very
often are extremely inharmonious. This
is true especially of greenish, blush,
yelloWiSh and reddish shades, which
are painfully crude when seen togeth-
er. Often a set will be imperfectly
colored and it's lack of harmony so
slight that only artificial light or a
points. Red, too, must be closely scru-
tinized when several pieces of the same
color are being selected.
The shape is another important
point. A chair should be high enough
to support the feet upon the floor; one
which requires the bending of the knees
or the elevating of stheT feet upon tired
toes is a piece of furniture to be shunn-
ed. No matter how pretty a chair is,
it should be avoided unless, when seat
ed, ones feet rest in uncomfortable and
natural position.
The back should have slight out
ward slope Those intended for loung-
ing have a slight indentation where
the small of the back IS Tocated. Hol-
low
body are seldom altogether comfortable
for the reason that they do not con-
form to the shape of the spine.
The seat of chair should be a lit
tie higher in the front than the back
For summer stuffy cushions should not
be cOuntenanced. Because the air cir
culates through the open nleshes the
willow chair and the cane chair are
satisfactory for hot weather. The
framework should be tested to dis
cover it's solidity. Nothing is more
embarrassing to a hostess than to own
chair which creaks rudely under the
awful pounds of some sensitive fat
friend. Neither is there anything more
wearing upon the nerves than the creak
creak of one laden with more weight
than it can safely carry. The gin-
cracks sold for parlors are often mere
mockeries of dollhouse furniture.
Rockers = are out or fashion. The
rocking chair is a strictly American
institution and is seldom seen abroad.
The substitute, a chair mounted to
swing in sockets, is the nearest ap-
proach to it that the up-to- date Amer
lean woman will have in her house. A
fashionable repose can never be Guilt
waited in a swaying seat; therefore in
it's place all sorts of lounging, reclin-
ing chairs are purchased.
When buying any of the light sum-
mer furniture, remember that the
handsomer pieces will look just as well
in the sitting room wnen the winter
curtains and portieres are put up and
the heavy rug takes the place of or
covers the light summer mating. The

Taffeta Petticoats,

There is a furore for taffeta petit
coats of every description. They have
almost entirely taken the place of the
white cambria and embroidery under
skirts. The evening petticoats are most
elaborate, some being made of peau
de sole trimmed with lace and inser-
lions, while the cut is quite as i'm
portant as that of the outer skirt.
When all is said and done the taffeta
petticoat is not such an expensive
luxury, especially for the evening,
when pale shades can be worn many
times without their getting soiIed. They
save the hem of frocks as we'll as the
laundress' bill, for a muslin petticoat
can seldom be worn more than twice
without a visit to the washtub. This,
If the skirt is cut after the FASHION OIL

sive owing to the multiplicity of frilIs,
which are an absolute necessity on the

UnIucky Materna.

Amelia Materna, the famous Wagner
singer, who has just been compelled to
sell at auction the contents of her cha
teau at Gratz, ought to be one of the
wealthy prima donnas of her country.
But because she sang almost exclu-
sively in the Wagner operas, she had
little opportunity to accumulate for
tune like those Of some other singers
of her day, such as Christine Nilsson
and Lilli Lehman, for instance.
She was for twenty-five years a
member of the company at the Imperial
opera house in Vienna, she sang in all
the principal opera houses of Germany.
and she was, of course, a great part Of
the early glories of Beyreuth. So it
is surprise to learn that she must at
this stage of her career sell her home
and all it's valuable souvenirs of Rich
ard Wagner and Franz List and re-
turn to Vienna to take UP teaching.
She is to devote her time in the flu
ture to preparing singers for the oper-'
attic stage. She has pension from the

even a hundred years ago. Then carved
furniture wrought in nard woods and
richly upholstered was preferred by
the rich, whether for their chateaus in
the country or for their mansions in
town.
Every manufacturer turns out his
special style of chairs; some prefer the
heavy, simple mission patterns, while
others exploit a semi-Gothic kind
which is distinctive of no school or
period in furniture making.
Nine-tenths of the women who buy
chairs select them because they look
pretty, are fashionable or go well with
