It may be argued, as it is with the silk hat, that it is so severely respectable; but, if we could aecustom ourselves to the idea, the same might be said of white, which would have the advantage of being much less gloomy. Clearly the black is an old fashion; and as for it's application to evening dress. in which it is most of all de rig ueur now, while there was time when our ancestors might tastefully dress themselves in almost all the colors of the rainbow for the evening. the adop- tion of black simply came about through a paragraph in a celebrated novel. and it is the latter we have to thank for the fact that we are not now permitted to wear aught but the most solemn garments at the time when we feel. to say the least, more satisfied
 
 eral than at any other period of the day. Bulwer Lytton's novel, s'Pel- ham," was the culprit, and it is a let ter in this book, purperting to have been written by Lady Frances Pelham to her son, that set the fashion. Lady Frances writes: 'Apropes of the com plexion, did not like that blue coat you wore when I last saw you. You lock best in black which is a great compliment, for people must be very distinguished in appearances to do so.' The man of the day read these lines and weighed them carefully, and what more natural than that he should straightway come to the conclusion that black was the one shade which for evening wear suited him perfectly? As soon as he could. he discarded all his colors and took to it, every man of him.-Chamber Journal.

 Curcumbers are an important part of a fish salad that is possible only at this time of the year. Shad roe is boiled and put on the ice 10 cool. When it is ready to serve as salad the skin is removed and the roe, surrounded by alternate slices of cucumber and small tomatoes cut very thin, serves as a garniture and countratcs the effects of the rich mayonnaise.
 Other fish treated in the same way serve well as salad; but it cannot be said that fish salads have become very popular among Americans. If they had been popular the delicious shrimp salad which used to be a characteristic Amer ican dish, would not have disappeared altogether from view. Who hears of shrimp salad nowadays-New York Sun.
