Manton model given is adapted to all
suiting and jacket materials, but, as
shown, is of canvas cheviot in tan
color and is tailor stitched with corti-

COOKING EGGPLANT,

The most satisfactory way of serv-
fng eggplant is to cut it in slices about
half an inch thick; rub the slices with
an abundance of salt, and let them
rest in water enough to cover, for sew
eral hours. After this, drain them,
dip the slices in egg and breadcrumbs,
fry them for five minutes ON each
side, or until they are golden brown
and well done. Serve with little salt
sprinkled over them.
To broil them slice and prepare the
same way as mentioned above in salt
and water Then drain and wipe
them dry, rub little sweet oil over
the surface and broil for five minutes
on each side. Serve them with butter
mixed with few drops Of lemon juice
Tho French are fond of serving egg
plant STUFFED" They cut good-sized
plant into six pieces, leaving the skin
on one side of each piece. These
pieces they cook in salt and water a
few hours, then they make an incision
in each piece and fry all in boiling hot
fat. Finally they scoop out the fleshy
part-of the eggplant, stuffing the pieces
with forcemeat. Sausage is good as
forcemeat for this purpose. Sprinkle
soft breadcrumbs and bits of butter
over the stuffing in the eggplant and
set the pieces in a hot oven to become
very brown. Serve them, seasoning
well with pepper and salt.

and cuffs of cream colored lace banded
with black velvet, but is suited to all
simple woods and to the cotton and lin

Careless Correspondence.

A gentleman and His wife had been
invited to an evening party. He wanted
to go, but his wife declared that she
had no gown suitable for the occasion,
and asked him to send ''regrets" to
their hostess. Thereupon the man,
while at his Office, penned this face
tious note:
1--WE regret that your kind invita-
ton must be declined for all the con.
ventioIial reasons, but the real reason
is that half the family has nothing to
wear. My wife's latest dress is over
three weeks old, and her hat is twelve
hours out of date. You will appreciate
the hopelessness of the occasion and
excuse u.s."
He thought this so good that he went
further, and determined to be smartly
sarcastic at the expense of his wife.
He wrote note to her explaining that
he would not be at home for an early
dinner, as she had asked him. The
note ran:
II cannot accept your invitation be-
cause l am going out to an evening
party where the guests are not expect
ed to wear anything Of Importance.
Sorry l won't be there to kiss you
goodnight"
Unfortunately he was careless; the
notes went into the wrong envelopes,
and the lady who had invited the
couple was somewhat surprised at the
mans audacity.

Very Generally Becoming.

Blouse jackets are always jaunty, al
ways smart and very generally becom-
ing. The excellent model illustrated
in the large drawing is of zibeline, in
brown with threads of tan color, collar
and cuffs of brown velvet edged with
bands of tan CLOTH stitched with cortl-
celli silk, and makes part of costume,
but the design suits the odd wrap
equally well and is adapted to all the
seasons materials. The collar is spe-
cial feature and is both novel and styl-
ish.
The jacket is made with fronts and
back and is smoothly fitted at the back
but blouses slightly over the belt at
the front Fronts, back and sleeves
are laid in tucks, in groups Of three
each, and are finished with machine
stitched edges in tailor style. The
right front laps over the left and the
closing is effected by buttons and but
tonholes in double-breasted style.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is four yards twenty
one inches wide, two and an eighth
yards forty-four inches wide or one
and seven-eighth yards fifty-two inches
wide, with seven-eighth yards of vel
vet for collar, cuffs and belt.
Skirts laid in generous pleats that
conceal the seams and are stitched fat
at their upper portions, are among the
latest shown and are eminently grace
full and effective. The smart model in
the large drawing is shaped with nine
cores that allow only narrow spaces
between the pleats which provide full
ness and, with the flare on each gore,
give a stylish flounce effect where they
fall free. AS shown the material is
ecru etamine, stitched with corticeli
silk, but all the seasonabTe pliabe ma
terials are appropriate, foulard, taffeta
and liberty silks, pongee, yelling, alba
tross and the like, with the lovely soft
finished linen and cotton fabrics.
The skirt is cut in nine cores that
widen perceptibly as they approach the
lower edge and are specially adapted
to narrow goods.
To cut this skirt in the medium size
