Ter minds ear the ancient cry, There
death in the pot"
So many designers of ladies' desks ig-
lore entirely the necessity of allowing
!. iii open space for the knees-as well
as the feet. However beautiful wflt-
ing desk may be made and embellished
with art. it will never be a JOY to the
owner unless she can sit at ease While
writing A charming design, OF the
Adam period, has four spindle legs, the
table top in the form of an are, contain
ing ON the outer side seven small drawers
fitted into the curve, each one with
small brass knob Two large drawers,
which will hold quires of paper and all
needful things, give the proper balance
by being one on either side, under the
table top. Such desk in good mahog-
any, well finished, may be bought for
$35, a bargain, considering its model.
Quite in the line of almost-ready to-
wear hats are many of the modish trim
n1ings. There's whole scheme instead
ment as often as not consisting of. drap-
cry as we'll as bit of jet or metal.
There are rosette ornaments. with pen
dant plaitings, and there are the graceful
plated bows of great length that go
under the left brim with such splendid
effect, though they may as often be used
ON top. The great jet cabochon figures,
of course, and is here shown with a dou-
ble-ender in the way of silk plating.
Wings are always chic; the black and
white are first choice. It's an idea to
have one of the pair poised above the
brim and the other caught on under.
Birds heads are shown in more colors
and shapes than Dame Nature ever
dreamed of.
Surely. the rage for green will soon
abate? 1t is ever so becoming to fair
people A beautiful Princess frock which
especially appealed to me, says writer
in Madame, was in green zibeline cloth,
fastened down the side with taffeta and
chiffon bobs in several shades of green.
This was worn with a big chinchilla
toque (adorned with waving green
paradise plume, and bandeau of bright
green velvet resting on the hair), and
huge chinchilla stoles and granny" muff
lined with green velvet. Chinchilla is a
fur l much admire when mixed with
green. Sable also is admirable mixed
with emerald green, and the addition of
pale blue uiderskirt, of which one oc-
casionally catches glimpses, is charming
the fuzzy, or long haired zibelines and
camel's hair cloth is such that the dress
makers have been forced to make up
the skirts without lining. AS many of
the skirts have trains, they require a
deep facing, but that is all necessary
with a silk petticoat for the street and
plenty of fresh white embroidered skirts
for house and carriage use. No one need
feel the want of skirt lining. Indeed, if
such a heavy skirt We're lined seam to
scam, the weight would be well-nigh ili-
tolerable and the gown would probably
remain hung up in the dress closet, in
stead of being worn. An extra heavy
skirt is not worth the penalty of back
ache
Desk outfits continue to arrive in novel
form. The newest and one of the most
expensive is of French bronze in choicest
design. An inkstand has lily pad for
the base, with the well at one end shaped
t,1,x 1,,{I 4
at the other half-opened blossom. Tn
til the flower shaped cover of the inkwell
is raised no hint of the exquisite orna-
ment's use is apparent. The price is &c.
En- suite with it is seal, the standard
of which is also a lily pad The tall,
graceful figure, standing at the stem end
OF the leaf, and just ready for dive in
to the water. is the handle of the seal,
which sinks into Il socket from which it
! is easily removed. Behind it is an or
naincntal device to hold the match box.

Those who delight in the making of
soups, new and old, may be interested to
know that the famed uulligatawney.
/ originally peculiar to Southern India. de-
rives its name from two Tamil words
mulagu pepper and tamur (water). In
its simple form, as partaken of by the
poorer classes of Madras, it is only what
its name indicates. 1t is eaten with a
large quantity of rice and constitutes a
meal. To this native compound the Eng
lish added chicken or mutton broth and
other ingredients, thickened the liquid
with butter and flour, and finally ar
rived at the present appetizing article
| OF menu, which may be regarded as a
kind of first cousin to the gombo of the
Southern States.
