How to Make Muslin Toast.

Any rather stale bread that cuts into
firm slices answers for this delicacy.
The writer's first knowledge of this
was at dinner party at which eacN
dish was perfect of its kind. When the
cheese was passed, with it came this
crisp, delicious toast, cooked at the mo.
ment Of serving. The slices were cut
literally 'as thin as a wafer" and
spread out to dry an hour or two be-.
fore needed. They were finally spreG +.
out on hot tin pan, popped on tia
top shelf Of quick oven long enougt
TO curl up little and take on a pa'e
shade of brown. This toast is partic
ularly grateful to people of delicate
digestion, but is so appetizing that il
has become a fad to lovers of dainty
living. 1t may also be served AT
luncheon with fruit. Housekeepers
who find themselves at the mercy
of a country butcher should call to
mind the French method of 'improv-
ing tough meat. An impossible beet,
steak, for instance, may be trans
formed into one that is tender and
juicy If it is allowed to stand over
night in a mixture of vinegar and
salad oil in equal parts. For a three.
pound steak half a cupful of the mix
ture should be put in a crockery plate
or dish large enough to spread the
meat out in it. Prepare this early in
the evening and before retiring turn
the steak. What is left of the mixture
should be bottled for the next time

TYPES oF ENGLISH WOMEN.
Fragile Creatures Who Defy the Inclem.
ency of the Elements.

A thing one notices in England about
the women is that they seem impervi-
Gus to changes Of temperature, says
Geraldine Bonner in a London letter
to the San Francisco Argonaut. 1t
was exceedingly cold when we arrived
damp, raw and chill. We Americans
put on our woolen dresses and con-
suited as to the wisdom of taking
jackets when we went abroad. The
sun was hidden, there were occasional
sprinkles Of rain, cold airs caught you
spitefully at street corners. 1t was
women-thin, fragile and delicate
wore their muslin dresses with calm
and unmoved fortitude. A favorite
fashion Of theirs is a transparent yoke
of lace with the bare neck visible
through it. In this semi-clad state
they walk or drive about, apparently
perfectly comfortable, while the per-
ishing American is seriously consider
ing the wisdom Of going to the bottom
OF her trunk for her fur jacket.
1t may be this weakening exposure
to the inclemency Of a damp and try
ing climate which makes the English
woman so delicate in appearance. One
seldom sees those buxom, rosy beau
ties in London that we have always
supposed were the British type. An
contraire, the type is tall, small-boned
and exceedingly thin. The English
woman Of fashion that one sees in the
London of to-day has that kind Of fig
ure that the novelists call "willowy"-
long in all the lines, very slightly
rounded, with the smallest of waists,
no hips at all and an inclination to
stoOp in the shoulders. With this they
wear very clinging dresses, long trains,
and, in the evening, very decOllete
bodices. The general effect is Of some
thing incredibly slim, serpentine and
delicate. The latter suggestion comes
not only' from the peculiarly slender
and undeyeloped figures, but from the
universal tendency to the droop in the
shoulders that l have just mentioned.
One sees very few women who stand
upright. All have an air of fragility,
ennui and languOr that suggests GER
tain paintings OF Burne-Jones and Ros-
setti.
IT, however, one sees few fine fig
ures, one sees many handsome faces
among these ethereal ladies. Beauty,
like any other good thing in England,
seems to belong to the dominating, ar
istocratic class. One seldom sees
good-loOking woman in the middle or
lower class world. But the flowers of
the aristocracy are often lowered with
fine and patrician beauty all their
own. The type is Enthusiastically and
peculiarly English. The face is oval
small and sometimes thin, the features
are cut with the cold, precise regular
ity Of cameo, the nose and chin gen
orally prominent. There are calm,
clear eyes under arched brows, which
in turn are nearly hidden by the curled
and crimpled fringe" that is still worn
in this country. 1t is a type that
speaks of high breeding, absence Of vi
vacity and physical delicacy. Com
pared to it our American woman are
Amazonian in their robustness, weight
and general suggestion Of vitality.

Some Pet Extravagances.

Women are excellent financiers, but
they have certain little ways Of their
own which are a standing wonder to
their masculine critics For instance
many women will deny themselves a
sufficiency Of the necessaries Of life
for weeks in order to be able to pur-
chase something which seems of very
trivial Importance to their husbands
or brothers.
"Will my means cover the eXpenseY
she echoes, when you mildly suggest
the doubt. Then she sets to with pen
ell and paper, and, after making elabo-
.ate calculations, comes to the humili-
ating conclusion that a month at the
place which she has set her heart on
going to would involve the eXpendi-
lure of the family income for the next
three months. 1t is a decided blow,
out she has recovered from similar
blows on previous summers, so she
bears it philosophically, and finally,
by dint Of more calculations, she de-
cides on a place which is financially
within her reach.
The one extravaganza Of an other
wise exceedingly sensible young lady
Of very limited means is a weakness
for the finest of stockings and hand
kerchiefs Her attire generally is re-
markable for nothing except plain
ness and sometimes shabblness, but
very few of her expensively dressed
friends can rival her in the matter of
dainty handkerchiefs and stockings.
Other women spend a large portion
of their income in paste jewelry. A
brooch Of imitation pearls and dia-
monds and a bracelet of moonstones
/ look very much like the real thing to
the casual observer, and are TO be had
"for a mere song; but the setting OF
this jewelry is seldom strong, and the
stones soon drop out, leaving the
brooch, bracelet or chain anything
rather than an ornament and thell
owner mourning her folly
Many women confess that their pei
vanity Is in dainty stationery, while
others spend "every penny they car

The white House as a Residence.

In truth, the White House is no place
to live in. At best it is but a splendid
misery. Redolent Of tragic memories,
it is a verltable haunted house. Long,
long ago it should have been converted
into an administrative office, and a
dwelling erected somewhere else for
the use of the President and his fam
lily. One can scarcely think Of 1t
without seeing ghosts. They stalk
through the darkened corridors by
night. In the MONDAY sun they hide
among its hooks and corners, the place
subduing and the spirit daunting. Men
grow old in the White House before
their me.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

A Model Indian Wife.

The young Indian wife Of to-day is
clean, a fairly good cook and tidy with
her house. She is not yet well versed
in the art of decoration, and red and
green are predominating colors in all
of her rooms, whether in harmony or
not. The house has good furniture,
but 1t is strangely arranged. The
lounge is a favorite piece of furniture,
and one sees it in every Indian house
hold, always in the parlor. If the In
dians have a piano or organ 1t goes
into the bedroom. The young bucks
best saddle also goes into the parlor,
and in many houses it is hung upon
the wall Red ribbons are tied to
everything, even the tail of the cat,
for no Indian household is complete
without a cat and dog. - Chicago

hereditary passion for prospecting, and
passed half his days roaming slowly
over the foothills and up the silent ca
mons, filing his ragged pockets with
worthless bits Of quartz, crystals that
sparkled in vain and agates that he
could barter for fishing tackle among
the small boys Of the towr.
When he was fourteen he came
across a pocket in the hills, from
which he scraped and gathered score
of bright red pebbles. That evening
he wandered stealthily into the village

"Tiffany'll give you fifty cents an
ounce, Jake. Them is Rocky Mountain

The jeweler sent the stones to New
York, and in two weeks Jake got his
half-dollar. This Incident proved to
be the turning point in Jake's life.
First he divided the money between
his five little brothers and sisters, and
then he bought a rubber rattle for the
baby. That proved his possession of
the rare and incompatible quality of
unselfishness. Second he got an un-
merciful ''lamming" from his mother,
because she was sure he had stolen
the money. and he wouldn't explain
matters This clinched his reputation
for stubborness and taclturnity, but II
also had the effect Of driving him into
mute and deep-schemed rebellion. Fol
days thereafter he moped about the
town or sat on his fathers dust covered
bench, dangling his legs and whlstlinq
softly to himself. If he felt any re
sentiment against his mother he didn't

A nrfense of the Flirt.

Ruskln advised every girl to have
six sweethearts cOineidently. 1t was
excellent advice. That misjudged
person. the fiirt, Is most frequently
woman whose heart aches for
friendship but who keeps the rich
est store hidden for her king when he
shall come. Those who were never
her king, who never could be her
king, call her names by way of re-
jolnder. They overlook the salient
fact that all she gave them was friend
ly interest, and that was all she pre-
tended to give them, for a conscious
firt-that is, woman who conspicu-
ously pretends to love-is as impos-
sible as u conscious hypocrite. In
fact, the firt Is the only remaining
artist in friendship, and a world
which knows not what friendship Is
makes the deficiency by maligning
her,-Macmillan's Magazine.

Praise For tho American Woman.

This is the complimentary opinion
of the American woman by no less
authority than Felix, the well-known
Partisan dressmaker.
From every point Of view the
American is the most satisfactory Of
any Of the many nationalities with
whom / have had to deal. She has
natural beauty and grace, to which
she adds chic and judgment. What
more ideal combination could dress
maker require2 The tendency Of the
American women Is, perhaps, q trife
toward the effective, not to say slight
ly snowy, in dress, but she never over
steps the bounds Of good taste. She
studies herself well, and knows what
suits her, and wears it. This perfect
sense Of the fitness Of things places
the well dressed woman of the United
States head and shoulders above her
sisters of Mexico or the South Ameri-
can countries Nothing could be worse
than the average garb of the Spanish
American woman. She has no taste
whatever, and will wear anything her
dressmaker may choose to put on her
back. AS a rule the color is vivid and
the fashion outre. Not so with the
woman Of the States. She does not
propose to be dictated to in matters Of
dress. Sue is very glad to take sug-
gestions from her dressmaker, but she
has ideas of her own"

BALLAD OF sARAA JANE.

A pilgrim went to the Orient
And his heart was cleft in twain;
There was half for Bess and half for
Jess
(But none for Sarah Jane),
And he sware them both with a solemn
oath
And he softly spake of the gold he'd make,
With a wedding in constant view.
(But to Sarah Jane he said nothing at all,
And she silently sorrowed in bower and
hall.)
The day was late at the distant date
When the traveller came again,
And jess was dead and Bess was wed
(But there was Sarah janet;
And the pilgrim swore he would rove no
more,
But-aas, that it so should be /.
He'd nothing at all to marry withal,
Nor pay the parsons fee;
And he thought with a pang of the wealth
he'd spent
AT several shrines in the Orient.
But Sarah Jane was proud and fain-
A maiden true was She
She spake no blame nor cried, ''For
shamel"
But laughed in gladstone gee,
Said, Here be rings and lots of things
hOIbH lHlIJy bHOuNhHu pOuuuy
Engagements score I've broke and more,
While you've been traipsing round;
Here's things from Tim and rings from
jim,
And more from Henry Bill:
They'll keep us well in big hotel
Or a house on Primrose Hill"
And the angels rejoiced in the faith and
truth
OF the beautiful maid and the resolute
youth.

plaid Of rec

A handsome large bag of black
beads has a baroque pearl set in the
top of each of the balls which twist
to form the clasp. These, like the
frame of the bag, are in gun metal,
as so many things for mourning use
are.
There are delightful buttons Of sill
yer, either Mexican or Indian, ham
mered out of silver coins frequently,
though there is nothing to show this
in the finished button, which may be
crude, but has a certain style as well
as historical value.
Here is a necklace a little different
from those ordinarily to be found. IL
is Of coral beads, the beads are not
round but long, oval, slender and
pretty. This is an old-time treasure,
and may cost more than something
new, but then 1t ls pretty in color and
style.
The boa pin-the handsomer the bet
ter-is an essential possession Of the
woman who would keep in touch with
fashions whims. Some of the designs
in these fasteners are particularly
handsome, one in silver set with rhine
stones and black pearls being an ex-
ample.
There are new things in the long,
gauzy scarfs, pretty material in the
latest ones raised pattern upon
gauze, woven into the material, and
having the effect, to some extent, of
the old-fashioned darned face. The
color is on the ends, in most of the
scarfs, in Oriental shades. They are
called Persian scarfs.
White flannel skirts which are SER
viceable and pretty have a broad In
sertion of torchon edglng and a ruffle
Of the lace a little deeper below. The
insertion has two rows of narrow
Hamburg something like beading, on
either side, which gives a firm edge
whtre 1t is sewed to the skirt above,
and where the ruflle is attached to it
below.

Hash.

OF all culinary terms the word hash
has come to have about as much op-
probrium attached to it as any. New.
ertheless, hash Itself remains popular,
with reason, for when properly made
it is one Of the best of dishes. AS gen.
orally used the word indicates a mix
ture Of cold corned' beef and cold
boiled potatoes cooked together, and
the opprobrium comes in because Of
the fact that the sinewy bits of meat
are those that fall to the hash. But
hash can be varied. 1t can be made
of various kinds of meat and of va>
rious sorts of vegetables; it can be
stewed or fried, it can be served with
eggs or without. 1t can be improved
with tomato sauce.
