fresh vegetables passed. Going out into
the backyard I gathered a blade of

morning going south-to market. They
looked fat and sleek, but I understand
are 40 cents a pound. Yesterday my
favorite cat had kittens, and I have
named them pussy-willows. Another
sign that spring is here.
Wednesday-A watering cart passed
by this morning. How the season is
advancing. 1t is almost time to plant
my roof garden. How fragrant the air
grows with the scent of bananas, fresh
fish and automobiles 1 saw a bit of the
sky this morning as 1 peeped out

The Partridge.

The partridge is a bird possessing many
excellent qualities, which recommend it to
the epicure. who can never quite decide
whether it surpasses in flavor and deIicacy
that of the w0odcock or whether their
qualities are about even.
1t is quite certain, however, that there
is marked difference IN the flavor of old
and young partridges. The old bird pos
sesses a much higher flavor while the
young bird has the delicacy and tender
ness which is lacking and impossible to
produce in the very matured bird There
fore 1t is common custom to cook old
and young birds together IN order to get
the perfection of flavor, which is impaired
to the young partridge in cooking. Only
the young birds icing sent TO the table
while the others appear later in the form
OF a salmi. puree, boudin or soup.
From Europe and also South America
we get great number of methods for
cooking this desirable variety of game:
although in foreign countries this species
North American bird resembles the COM
mon European gray partridge.
We have very pretty story in connec-
ton with the bartavelle or Greek par
fridge which is found in the Orient, Sicily
and Naples, in mountainous and Alpine
reg1ons-because it never descends into the
plains, writer has claimed that this bird
was derived from Mount Olympus and be-
cause of the consciousness of the -rarf1e,,r
OF its origin it remained aloof from the
lower world. Comparing this bird with
its humble gray relative Cyrano de Ber-

Unless a woman can afford a variety
of stoles for her costumes she will be
much safer to select a white one and
have white hat to go with it and
plan her visiting and evening toilets
to go with them. A handsome white

of Alaska sable will accompany effec-
lively many different toilets and the
dark fur will be much more satisfac-
tory than lighter one.

The opening of the opera season in
New York was marked (for those who
went to look at the boxes rather than
the stage) by the number of one-color
costumes worn. All white, all black, all
blue or pink or red toilets were worn
but few combinations. White lace was
seldom used to relieve gowns of an
other color. Most of the lace was dyed
to match the gowns and the one-color
idea seemed to prevail. Natural flowers
were little worn, there being few bou-
quets in the boxes and none at all else
where. A girl in white with a mass of
American Beauties covering her cor
sage was conspicuous figure in one
of the boxes. A few great punches of
violets with a purple orchid or gar
denia in the center were seen, but in
general it was plain that flowers are
a little passe in New York this winter.
However, quantities of artificial flow
ers are used for the garniture of gowns.
Another notable feature was the dress
ing of the hair. The hair is worn low
er and less deliberately pulled this year
than last. No one wore the English
fringe, in spite of rumors of it's revival
here. Many and beautiful however are
the hair ornaments. Ribbons and bows
in satin velvet and gauze are worn,
rosettes, flowers, aigrettes and ostrich
feathers. One pale blonde in white had
her hair dressed deliberately with huge
scarlet peoples.

The chasuble evening cloak is the
smartest model for cloth because it
stands part from the swarms of white
cloth coats one sees everywhere. There
is much style and distinction about the
long openings down from the shoulders
out of which very long sleeves come

One has to pay good deal for smart
simplicity. There is nothing daintier,
prettier, more refreshing to look upon
and more becoming to wear than
simple muslin frock. Also there is
hardly anything more extravagant for
a poor girl. White is only admirable
when it is spotlessly clean and the
laundry or clearen's bill is something
frightful if one wears white to any ex-
tent. Miss Ethel Barrymore wears
plain white muslin frocks a great deal
in all her plays but they are among her
most expensive garments. A white
muslin to be perfect must be of the
finest, sheerest imported quality must
be faultlessly made, Immediately clean
and gracefully worn. If it is all that
the men viii rave over it and credit the
girl who wears it with good sense and
economy although all the other girls
know that only rich girl can afford
to dress in that style.

You see lots of taffeta used, not only
