Fashions Are for the Tall.

Philadelphia Press.
There is no doubt any more that fashions
will go against the short, stout woman
this winter.
Nothing so evidenced this as the fash
ionable openings in Philadelphia and New
York, where living models represent wom-
en- of fashion and parade through the
rooms. wearing the costumes exhibited by
the dressmakers as the fashion for winter
This is a Paris custom, but it is not
taken up generally in America. One of
the large department stores introduced 1t
this winter and found it great success.
One of the great artist designers here
has adopted this means of showing off
clothes for several seasons, and. about a
dozen of the New York establishments
in the Fifth-avenue district
This year the Philadelphia designers Sc
lected only those models who were near
five feet ten in height and who were quite
slender.
Two of her models are just a shade I'M
der six feet and do not weigh over 135 or
40 pounds.
She chose them for the lines Of their
body, so that the Paris clothes would fit
them.
AT the New York openings equally tall,
slender women were chosen. This proved
conclusively the fact that the leading fash
ions are made for what is now known as
the American type. This is the very tall,
willovy woman. The American type is be-
coming famous at the great shops in
Paris and Vienna. The height of the Eng
lish with the suppleness and lack Of flesh
of the French is combined
No American woman has this figure by
any means, just as many French woman
Is short and thick-wansted, but so many
Americans who go to Paris have this style
of figure that they have given the name
to the type, and the Paris designers are
working on those lines.
Slenderness and thinness should never be
COMPOUNDED.
The thin woman without good lines can
never be good model. The slender woman
with fine curves of the shoulder and hips
can always be an excellent model.
/ asked one of the best designers what
were the requisites in the way of a figure
that would show off the clothes OF this
season.
Great height" she said, "a long waist
line. especially in the back, broad shoulders
and long arms"
Are hips still out Of fashion," 1 asked.
Absolutely" she said, ''but you must

Jeyveled Pottery.
Boston Advertiser.

Boston Advertiser.
An absolutely new and rather startling
idea in pottery is being shown by New
York wholesale house, says the Dry Goods
Economist This is a line of jeweled pot
terry. We have had jeweled glass for many
years, and lamp shades inset with spark
ling mock jems have been active sellers for
several seasons, but pottery inset with
mock jewels is indeed an innovation worthy
Of note.
This new idea is carried out In egg-shell
china. This china is cut with various elab-
crate floral designs, the cuttings being
filled in with mock rubies topazes, rhine
stones, emeralds and other gems. These
Jewels are not made of glass, but from q
form of hard enamel which closely simu-
lates the gems.
The line now consists Of vases drinking
cups. after-dinner coffees and various other
small pieces. If the goods make a hit
which they cannot help but do. owing to
their remarkable and striking beauty, the
line will be added TO with much larger
pieces.
The process of making this ware is a
French secret, and has been patented. II

Little Lessons
i'm Economy

Formerly the basis OF a bisque was al
ways cray fish. but we have come to use
the word with much broader meaning
and now apply ii 10 a lass of purees or
soups generally made of salt water mol
lusks or crustaceans to which cream or
milk is added and sometimes white stock.
We also have the mock bisque" soups hav-
ing the general characteristics, such as
color and consistency of the original
bisques. Tomato bisque is a good example
OF the latter class of soups. These soups
are especially nice for luncheons in cold
weather. and when served with a cold
meat dinner make the meat seem decidedly
more substantial than the regulation din
ner soup, which would be a clear broth
consomme or bouillon as the base.
Lobster Bisque.-Take the meat from the
shell of two-pound lobster. cut the tender
part taken from the claws into dice and
set aside with the liver until the soup is
made. Chop the meat from the body very
fine and put In a double boiler with one
quart of milk. put over the fire to scald.
Rub the coral through sieve and grad
ually work in quarter of cup of butter
to a smooth paste; then work in quarter
Of q cup Of flour. Pour enough of the hot
mixture over this to make ii liquid, then
pour back into the double boiler and stir
and cook for ten minutes. Cover the bones
and the tough Of the meat lobster which
will not go through the sieve with a pint
Of water (cold), or, IL you have it. the
broth in which you have cooked a fowl.
Simmer very gently for an hour. When
done there should be nearly a pint of
broth. Strain this into the other ingredi-
ents, stir until blenched, then pour into
the tureen in which you have placed the
claw meat and lobster liver. Season to
taste with salt and paprika and, IL you like
the combination, a grating of nutmeg.
Tomato Bisque.-Stew a pint or half
can Of tomatoes until solt, then pass them
through a sieve and put them in an agate
saucepan; add a tablespoonful of soda and
when 1t has ceased foaming add two Ia
blespoonsful of butter. small piece at
time, otherwise 1t will show an oily line
around the edge. Add salt, pepper and cay
enne to taste. Put quart of milk in
double boiler and stir in tablespoonful
of cornstarch, which has been mixed with
a little cold milk until smooth Let 1t cook
for ten minutes until the cornstarch is
thoroughly cooked; then pour the milk into
the tomatoes and whip a few minutes with

tention is being paid to labor-saving de-

clever and ingenious. One woman could
only demonstrate her labor-saving device
