Making a Necklace.

But the woman who wants a collar,
and who cannot obtain either diamond
one or a collar Of pearls, can take heart,
for there is an exceedingly pretty make
shift for her. She can wear a band Of
velvet around her throat. and, upon
this band OF velvet, she can wear strings
OF yellow stones-beads really they
might be called-except that they sre
irregular size and shape, and so look
very much richer than strings Of beads
commonly look.
The making Of these necklaces is a
fine art. II requires strings and strings
Of line elastic. OF just the length TO en-
circle the throat. And. after these are
strung with their burden OF odd stones
the whole must be mounted upon a clasp
which Is set at the back Of the neck
These semi-precious necklaces sell for
big prices in the stores, but the woman
or taste can gather her store and stock
OF beads and make them for herself
The key 10 the whole IS the preservation
OF color There should be more yellow
than anything else, and the faint yell
low tinge should prevail throughout the

Belasco's Salmi of Goose.
There are many ways Of preparing a

half as wide. Have ready a gravy made
by boiling down the bones and toughest
scraps until you have a cup of strong
stock. Add to this a carrot, q young
