Food that is wholesome and well cooked
Is boon. Beef. If properly served, Is one
OF the most desirable meats. Here are some
recipes for preparing 1t In different forms:
Baked Bulock's Heart.-Wash and wipe
the heart. cut it into four pieces Season
these with pepper and salt, chopped thyme
and bay leaves, eight onions cut in slices,
two ounces of dripping and four parsnips.

and bake in the oven from two to three
hours.
Ragout of Beef.-Melt and brown thor
oughly half an ounce of butter Add to 1t
one ounce of flour, stir till brown and per.
fectiy smooth. Pour In slowly half a pint
of stock, the same quantity of boiled and
drained Spanish onions. Stir till the sauce
th.ckens; then add about a pound of cold
roast beef cut into nice neat slices. Cook
slowly till the beef is heated through. Re-

C0RSAGE FLOW Frs
HUGH PUNCHES OF NATURAL
BLOSSOMS WORN.
Fashionables Select a Special Favorite
and Always Wear

Written for TIE Evening Star.
The fashion Of wearing natural flowers in
the daytime is making its way rapidly,
and the custom is spreading from the
larger to the smaller cities through towns,
villages and hamlets In America, how
ever, few women would venture to appear
with such enormous punches of posies as
does the Duchess Of Marlborough, who is
not infrequently seen with from fifteen to
twenty gardenias arranged on her bodice.
Mrs. Rupert Beckett Of London. also con-
spcuous in the Marlborough house set,
thinks nothing OF wearing four large arum
lilies in a cluster. Lady Downshire con-
fines herself to gardenias while in season,
and Lady Algernon Gordon-Lennox is con-
tent with nothing else than a very good
sized bunch of lilies-of-the-valley. These
usually she wears tucked in her waist belt.
One hardly ever sees the Duchess Of Port
land without five or six, sometimes seven
or eight, of the beautiful Malmaison car
nations, which are her favorite and especial
flower.
Mrs Astor still retains her attachment
for the violet which bears her name. 1t is
large. of a pinky-lavender color, and has
the faintest possible scent. Mrs. Pierpont
Morgan wears, whenever she dons any
flower, the quaint, pretty rose named in her
honor. Happily, it is especially adapted
for on bodice; the stem being heavy
and unlikely to break and the bloom rather
small and compact Its coloring also is
exquisite, a deep, brilliant pink blending to
a creamy white.
1t is not for all to boast the proud dis
tinction of having flowers named in their
honor; but the majority of women have in
dividual taste enough to prefer some one
blossom to another Now is the opportuni-
ty to let this choice be known, for more
individuality is given to the custom of
wearing flowers when one does not con-
stantly change from one gay bloomer to an
other.
In making such a choice the scent of the
flower should come under considerable
Many women would turn giddy with inhal-
ing the odor of gardenas, lilies of-the-val-
ley or others redolent of such heavy per-
fumes. Even the scent of Violets cannot be
endured by some women. Perhaps for this
reason we so frequently see on bodices

AGAINST PING PONG
DINING TABLES MADE WRECKS
BY IT
New Game and What Some
Who Dislike It Have
To Say.

Written for TIL, Evening Star
1t is well in these spring days to arm
ones self for meeting with the ping-pong
adversary. Let those that are incredulous
of this fact attempt to get up an informal
dinner or theater party. relying on Delated
telephone messages to secure the guests.
1t is safe to predict that six out OF ten
of les invites" Will pour forth regrets,
but remain true to their ping-pong en-
gagements. Extra men who formerly
could be relied on for emergencies are
now quite naughty in their rejection of
late invitations They can well be SO, for
even when they have no engagement for
regular ping-pong party, they inevitably
have date to go and play with other
stray men. Indeed. when by themselves
men often have more fun over the game
than when played with girls. They are
then privileged to serve harder and they
warm up to the play much more than is
possible when 1t is necessary to keep a
collar from whiting. Frequently, as at the
universities in England. they keep at the
game until we'll on to the small hours of
the morning. This mostly occurs however
when wager has been laid. In general
play, that is, as a society game for men
and women, ping-pong cannot be decried
as betting game. Bridge and skat the
German favorites, still hold good for that
purpose.
In another and most important way ping
pong dfsturbs the family tranquility. 1t
upsets the all-important maids. Dinners
both formal and informal, must be rushed
through even home luncheon is cut short
because the table must be cleared for ping
pong. The elder members of various fam
lilies complain that their dining rooms
have not been in good order since the game
became the family regulator. The young
people cannot be driven away, but flock
about the stripped table as bees about a
honeycomb.
The craze, if such it must be termed,
shows is yet no signs of abating. Probably
with the warm weather its popularity will
grow stronger. AS with tennis heat but
seems to increase the players prowess
Tables, inexpensive in character, will be
set on verandas. or wherever in the omen
the game can be enjoyed away from the
confinement of the house.
Happily. ping-pong is a game that can
be enjoyed by all. 1t is not over costly. as
golf, and it requires no particular dress
Women, as perhaps they know. only look
pTettier when lodging about a table in
Louis Quinze heels and fluffy, ruff1ed skirts
in which the former sometimes become en-
tangled.
According to the purse of the buyer, sets
of ping-pong can be purchased at almost
any price from $50 to s.. OF course it is
best to get fairly good set. The rackets
OF the cheaper ones are made of parchment
not vellum, and are not apt to last very

Cooking Mutton Outlets.

The French have many novel ways Of
cooking mutton. Some delicious dishes are
made from outlets from the best end OF the
neck. Here are recipes for some of these.
Mutton Outlets in Tomatoes.--Take as
many outlets as are required from the best
end OF a neck of mutton. allowing one for
each person. Beat them out with a wet
chopping knife and remove all skin and su-
perfiuous fat. Season with salt and pepper
and marinate for half hour in salad oil
to which have been added n little onion
Juice. lemon juice and a pinch Of mixed
spice. Brush over with beaten egg. sprin
kle with seasoned breadcrUmbs. fry quickly
in hot fat and drain. Have ready about
three ounces Of rice which has been boiled
TIL tender in milk, with piece of butter.
pepper, salt and two onions. When well
drained pile this in the middle OF a very
hot entree dish. pour over 1t thick to-
mato PURGE. arrange the outlets around the
rice and surround with crisply fried potato
chips and garnish with sprigs Of parsley.
Mutton Outlets With Kidney.-Neatly
trim enough mutton outlets for a dish and
season with pepper and salt. Make a slit
in the fillet of each outlet and insert small
slice of Sleeps kidney tcooked9 and a little
chopped mushroom. Saute the outlets
briskly in a well-buttered pan till tender.
then press till cold and mask on one side
with a farce prepared thus: Cut into dice a
quarter OF a pound of bacon and half a
pound of calfs liver and fry with sliced
onion and carrot and some mixed herbs.
When tender pound IL well in mortar.
After masking the outlets brush them over
with beaten egg sprinkled with chopped
parsley and mushrooms and place them on
a buttered tin. Cover closely and cook in
the oven for few minutes. Take up and
arrange on a PURGE Of mushrooms down the
center of hot entree dish. Garnish with
small glazed onions and turned Spanish
olives.

Value of Tissue Paper.

The tissue paper in which parcels are
rolled up should never be crumpled and
thrown away, but carefully smoothed out
rolled up and laid away in some drawer or
handy place where you know where to find
it when you want nice, SOIL, clean piece
of paper.
A few drops Of eau de cologne on a soft
pad of tissue paper will give a brilliant
polish to mirrors, the glass of pictures and
crystal. The pad Of tissue paper without
the eau de cologne is also used for burnish-
ing steel, rubbing grease stains off CRATES
or furniture, polishing silver and innumera-
Bile other things.
For packing glass. ornaments and fine
china that are not in daily use a roll of
soft tissue paper is simply invaluable.
All outstanding ends of ribbons, ospreys
and wings on millinery should have a wisp
Of tissue paper twisted round them to pre-
vent crushing, and in the same way ribbon
loops should be kept in position by a small
pad of paper. The sleeves of dresses and
blouses are the better for a paper stuffing.
and a sheet OF paper should be placed be-
tween every fold to prevent the material
marking.
Silk handkerchiefs muff1ers, ribbons lace,
etc, should all be ironed between a layer
of tissue paper. Steel buckles and fancy
fnatpins OF every kind may be cleaned
with the homely polisher-tissue paper.

Origin of Christmas Cards.

From the Chicago News.
The Christmas card. as we know it, has
an origin easily traceable, and 1t is not
more than fifty-five years ago since the
first was designed. The artist who claimed
to be it's originator, and who was, at any
rate, the first to see it's possibilities, was
W. c. r. Dobson, RIA, an Englishman
who, when quite a young man, in 1874, was
prompted at Christmas to make little
sketch symbolic Of the seasons joys and
festivities and to send It to a friend. 1t
seemed to give great pleasure and the
next year Mr.. Dobson determined to follow
up the idea on a larger scale, and by hav-
ing his card Autographed was enabled to
send copies to twenty-five or thirty
friends. The delight with which they were
received was so great that Mr.. Dobson
was quick to perceive that he had found
out new pleasure for Christmas.

with groups of narrow silk plaits. Bands
of the new pompadour silk, of lace or Of
embroidered net are sometimes substituted
for the MORE.
In size parasols are sufficiently large to
afford a desirable shade. The flmier ones
are lined with tinted silk to match the cos
tune. Rose silk or rose chiffon is ia
vored lining because the flush it casts over
the countenance serves to tone down the
ravages of time.
Simplicity should characterize the sum-
mer garments ordered by the woman of
good taste Fri1ls and furbelows should be
avoided. and dainty, pretty fabrics select
ed, such as few bands of lace and skill
fully adjusted line of plaits will embellish.
A soft summer beige cloth achieved a very
great success in one of the shops of the
Rue de la Paix. 1t was shown there as an
early season model. Half dozen copies
have been made from it, a detailed de-
sCriptiOn may be of service to some anna
teur dreSsmaker on the other side of the
Atlantic. The skirt, forty-twO inches long,
was adorned with three triple stitched
plaits nine inches deep laid on each side of
the front breadth. The shaped flounce was
twelve inches deep in front. but gradually
widened TO at least twenty inches in the
back. Four loose plaits alternated with
Vandykes of lace to form the upper part of
the founce Three triple stitched piaits ran
down each side of the bodice, which was
cut low and open in the front to show a
white muslin. The sleeves to the elbows
were composed of cloth. A cuff of lace
fared back over the bend in the arm. the
lower part of the sleeve being composed of
accordion plated muslin finished off with
tight fitting piece of lace.

rings and puffs OF mousseline and chiffon
are among the alriest Of the parasol max
ers' creations. Appliques or bands of silk
decorate the covers, while bands, of ruch-
ing laid in the semblance of flowers Orna-
ment some of the smartest parasOls. White
covers decorated with black laces or black
ones almost covered with point d'arabe or

especially chic One does not often see

the tendency seems TO be toward a trim

Some printed silks are shown in the win

lions are the most prominent feature. The

trasting material was moss green brocade,
forming the short coat, which was hand
somely trimmed with guipure. The latter
made the very deep collar. the ceinture and
the stiff, f1arng cuffs above the frills OF
accordion plated chiffon that shaded the
arms. A very full draping of plated chif-
ron fashioned the blouse and the soft, high
collar. Choux and scarf ends of chiffon
adorned the front of the coat at the ter
mination of the collar. The skirt was I'M
derlaid by lining of moss green tafeta
that shimmered through the cut out de-
signs adjoining the lower part of the skirt
and decorating the portion just beneath the
coat Bands of moss green baby ribbon
bordered the skirt and the sleeve flounces
Handsome bags of suede and silver are
considered necessary part of the shop
ping toilet. If you cannot afford silver, buy
a silver and suede bag. If that combina-
ton is beyond your means, leather bags
mounted in silver plate are to be had. The
wearer's initial should be chased upon the
silver top. Inside the bag a pocketbook
and handkerchief are slowed. and it is
then suspended from the side by short
orna mental chain.
Pearls Are Popular.
Pearls are growing in popularity. Pearl
chains, pearl dog collars and pearl en-
broideries are effective in combination with
any type of costume. Pearl pins, pearl
rings and pearl cabochons are displayed by
the fashionable woman. The reason of this
sudden vogue is explained Dy the demand
for them for the English coronation, Queen
Alexandra'S well-known Partially for
pearls being the primary incentive to their
purchase.
The edelweiss is the fashionable flower
in Paris. This is one of the results of the
beautiful czarinas visit, for the French
people have not yet forgotten that the wife
of the autocrat of the Russias prefers the
delicate white flower of freedom to the
most sumptuous greenhouse blooms.
The high stock finds a place on street
gowns. Many of these collars are adorned
with turned over embroderies, with ties
worked to match the collar. Lace scarfs
accompany lace turnovers, and embroidered
ties go with embroidered collars. The base
for the needlework consists of soft linon or
silk.
Smart New Hats.
The most recent hats from the smart mil
linery shops have very heavily trimmed
sheaves of wheat spreading over the back
or masses of 1aces and flowers trailing over
the hair. The hats look trif1e heavy and
ungainly, but since they stylish what
matters it? An entire lace hat trimmed
with a collection of wheat straw reSem-

Some of the better jackets are made in

but is cut all in one with the rest Of the
Jacket, and in order that the garment may
