Styles of 1880.

signs and portents are not wanting
that there is disposition to revive the
styles of 1881 and thereabouts. Whcth.
er it will grow into n vogue or gently
subside again it is yet too early 20 say;
but one may hope that 1t will pros
per. There was much that was dainty
to n degree in the costume of that
time and our sartorial and millinerial
artists of to-day will know how to
make the most of it, while eliminating
all that nowadays would offend our
more sophisticated taste. If the style
does come in it will arrive in far more
delightful guise than when it appeared
some seventy years ago, and We shall
all be ready to give it hearty welcome.

Tho Cooking of DIont.

One principle holds in all meat cook
ing. whatever the method employed.
Unless the~object is to extract the
juices, as in soups, the aim is to soften
the fibre and make it dlgestlble with
as little loss as possible of the juice.
TO accomplish this n high temperature
at first should scar the outside. which
will then serve as case to retain
the juice. In baking the oven is raised
to a high temperature, kept there for
five or ten minutes, and then gradually
reduced TO a lower heat.
If the meat Is to be boiled, it is Il
good Idea to brown the cut sides in q
little fat before turning in the hot
water. Since albumen, which toughens
readily Mt a high temperature, is a con
stituent element of flesh, only the out
side should be subjected to great heat.
The slower the cooking of the meat. the
more tender will be its fibre. and the
more delicious its flavor. Indeed, the
best authorities claim that the water
in which beef is cooked should not
come to a boil, and that II long applica-
ton Of slow heat will produce in the
toughest cut tender, juicy dish.
Beef In mode, pot roast and corned
beef are the common forms in which
meats appears boiled.

Queen Alexandra heart is ever moved
by the distress of others. and she is
especially kind to the poor. This was
aptly illustrated one morning when
she was crossing the hall at Marlbor
ough House. a young girl was there
with bundle of new underclothing,
and the Queen saw the tired look in
the girls face, so she told her to sit
down and asked her business. The
visitor. not knowing her qucstloner,
told her story. 1t was to the effect
that her mother was an invalid and she
had made the clothes with n sewing
machine, which machine she was anN-
iOus to buy outright. so she could bet

established the truth Of this statement.
and q few days later the young girl
shed tears of thankfulness when she
