The Sunday Dinner in Cities.

New York Times.
Let no one despair entirely over the serv-
ant problem. 1t is gradually solving itself
in small ways, and there are better days in
sight. 1t is great step forward when the
cook will serve regular night dinner on
Sundays as well as on other days, and that
is what is being done now. and done with
out protest, in many Of the better class
private houses in New York.
For a number of years there have been
two nights in the week when certain hotels
and restaurants. which are fashionable
dining places, have been sure of being
crowded, and these were Thursday and
Sunday nights. They are the days when
the servants are out, and Sunday is the day
when the cook likes to serve a midday din
ner and get out for the afternoon and even
ing. This midday Sunday dinner has long
been bugbear. On the day when later
and frequently more hearty breakfast is
taken than other days in the week. an elab-
crate dinner follows ii in few hours, often
with unpleasant results for the diners.
Emergency servants have done some
thing in altering this state of affairs, and in
many households where one or more of the
servants take the afternoon off the emer-
gency men or maids are engaged to fill the
vacant places, and there is no inconven-
fence to members of the household or to the
servants on duty. In this way no extra
has remained for the late dinner and If IT
is her afternoon off, another cook is en-
Gagged to come in and take her place. When
there are plenty of other servants ready
and glad to come in at any time, it is not
good policy to take stand against any
reasonable demand. The result has been
that the cook gets her dinner on Sundays
at the same hour as on week days.
There Is only one class of people-and 1t
must be admitted that this is a large class
who like TO adhere to the Sunday midday
dinner and high tea of Sunday night. These
are the people of moderate menas, who to
entertain. must do ii without great expense
or trouble. 1t Is quite different thing to
invite a number of guests to tea instead
of to dinner. A dinner is formal affair,
which requires many hot dishes, expensive
meats, vegetables and desserts, and care
full service. Tea may be as elaborate as
need be, but the greater number of the
dishes can be prepared beforehand or on
the chafing dish at the table, and an in
formal service is often more desirable than
the attendance of several servants. Sun
day night tea is, or may be, a jolly affair,
and 1t Is not necessarily done away with
new that the cook has had a change of
heart. Sunday night dinners at the big
hotels will still continue to be popular, but
they need not follow previous heavy meal
in the middle of the day.

These hints may help her accomplish her

All woolens, in freezing weather, should

If there is large family and many fan

hang up clothes without being properly

These will not interfere with handling the
clothes and you'll be in better temper

After comparing her Picture with all the
Parlor Favorites that he met on his Social

other Representatives Of her Sex.
In her cosy Flat. far away she had him

Frame and featured to beat the Cars. And
anyone who dropped in to see her was made
to understand that he was merely an I'm

She used to write to Harry and tell him
about her Callers and what Chumps they
were, and then let him draw his own Con-

apparently. Canvas is abundant among the
spring goods. and is very attractive weave
for warm spring days because OF its light
weight. Wool hop sacking is another goods
that will be very pretty in street dresses.
Most waists have a decided blouse effect,
some Of the blousing being too pronounced
except for very slight women. Sleeves are
still to be very full at the bottom, and
often are entirely OF chiffon. even in heavy
wool dresses. The top part Of such sleeve
Is OF the tucked chiffon. the lower part
plain. very full and dropping over the hand
little. though not quite so exaggerated in
this feature as sleeves were a few months
ago.
All winter long women have seen combi-
nations OF blues and green's that, by the
color standards of some seasons, would
have been considered as fairly shrieking at
each other. But these matings have been
so many that they are no longer thought
OF except as expressions OF new stylishness.
and now there is promise of their employ
ment in spring fashions. They will appear
chiefly with a new dull green that is little
brighter than sage and bit darker than
apple. 1t is seen in gowns and as trimming
on dark blue dresses. the combination being
very handsome. The dress sketched for to-
days initial was Of this shade, in canvas
cloth. with light blue silk passementerie
as trimming. This new green Is seen. too,
trimming on brown dresses. A very
handsome example was seal brown trimmed
with green velvet in medallions, these crisis
crossed with narrow white braid. You see
It will not be OVERRIDING II in spring to put
one trimming atop another, providing al
ways that 1t Is done in new way. Yet,
besides the profusely trimmed dresses, are
many stamped quite as plainly as up to
date by reasonable amounts of embellish-
ment Take the two afternoon dresses of
this first pictorial group. The first was
dark blue wool hop sacking trimmed with
bands OF dull green fancy silk braid. The
other was light gray etam.ne and narrow
black velvet. Nor was the calling get-up
of this picture elaborate, compared with
prevailing styles. Its coat was black vel
vet. and the gown was white broadcloth
dotted with uncut" velvet. Despite its
simple scheme this costume was striking
because OF its new black and white combi-
nation. and, being somewhat snowy. was
eminently suited to formal use.
Gowns for street wear and for house use
are seen In ACCORDION plating. 1t hardly
need be said that none but a very slender
woman should wear such, and even these
should be wary. In thin silks and crepes
this plating Is all right, but in woods it Is
trying and soon will look mussy and
crushed where 1t is held up. 1t is pleasant
TO note that the majority of gowns designed
