To Serve ORANGES.

Perhaps our most useful fruit is the
orange; it can invariably be had, and
admits of being served in a variety of
ways.
A pretty way to serve oranges at a
breakfast or luncheon party gives US
relief from the much-Worked orange
basket idea.
The orange should be prepared by
impaling on silver fork, while with
very sharp knife the peel and thin
white skin should be cut away en-
tirely.
The orange is cut toward the center,
avoiding the stringy white divisions
Of 1t appears in the pulpy and juicy
fragments which are caught in a bowl
beneath the orange on the fork.
When enough oranges have been cut
the fragrant results are set in hand
some teacups or very large custard
cups, and these are carefully wiped
clean from any drops of sickness and
are then set away in the ice chest to
be chilled for the occasion.
When it is time to serve the Creole
oranges, and not before, the top of
each cup is thickly powdered with pull
verified sugar and sent in to the table
This soft fruit sugar melts so soon
that it would be practically invisible if
applied before.-
II AuSl SNOW WHlte ana frosty, ike
a little drift of new-fallen snow, when
1T comes to the table.
Creole oranges are eaten with the
aid of oyster forks. One often feels a
spoon would be more satisfactory for
getting at the juicy syrup, but if the
fruit has been properly chilled the or
ange fragments will hold a great deal
of juice, and this comes away from the
cup with the fork.
The use of the fork is considered
newer" than orange spoons.

DICHARD STRAUSS symphonic

nICHARD STRAUSS Symphonic
n Domestica' has aroused more
discussion in this country than
any Of his other compositions or than
all of the others put together. It was
presented for the first time in New
York under the direction of Strauss
himself, and it is said that the manner
In which the critics received his new
work embittered the composer against
the metropolis, hence his contemptuous
dismissal of it's claims to a higher de-
gree of musical culture than that pos
sessed by any other American city.
AT a dinner given for him during his
visit in New York Strauss declared
that he could illustrate musicaIly the
act of taking a fork from one side of
his plate and placing it on the other.
Such minute illustration is supposed to
abound in the Symphonic Domestica." ,"
1t pictures a day in the composers
family life The symphony begins with
breakfast scene a deuX and later the
baby is brought in-not as a disturbing
element, however. Such incidental lar
and fret as often disturbs even the
best regulated of families roughen now
and then, it is said, the musical course
of the symphony, but on the whole the
music is as placid as it is possible for
any Strauss music to be. The musical
editor of the New York Press, COM
menting on Strauss assertion in re-
gard to the forks, wrote recently:
Although we can smile at such a
statement we can say, at the same
time, Fork or no fork, let us rejoice
If Strauss expresses this operation to
his own satisfaction in music such as
he has applied to many other ideas
perhaps. less laughable in suggestion.
but equally impossible Of musical char
acterization. 1t is thus we should feel
about the Symphonic Domestica'
Family life is not always without mo-
mentsaworthy Of poetical and musical
treatment, and many a composer, no
doubt, in past years, when reticence
was the fashion, was inspired by such
moments, though refusing to give the
public definite clue. But the average
person will consider the musical treat
ment of this subject as not only in bad
taste, but not to be taken seriously"
Where the critics loudly differ not
only in regard to this symphony, but
also in regard to all of his tone poems,
is in trying to decide as to the compost
tions' value as absolute music-that is,
music which needs no programme ex-
planation. The critic already quoted,
who avows himself a Strauss admirer
In spite of the complaint he makes
against the composer, says in connec-
tion with this special discussion:
"As a fact though some of Strauss
most ardent admirers deny the potency
Of his works as absolute music his So
called tone poems can bring deep en-
joyment when disassociated from the
programme-not admiration merely,
but emotional as well as mental ex-
hilaratiOn. More than this, however
much the interest of the listener may
be quickened by a knowledge Of the
definite thoughts inspiring or inspired
by every bar of the music, or perhaps
springing up in the composers mind
simultaneously with the musical idea,
it is the music per Sc which speaks to
the genuine appreciator of Strauss in
unequiVocal terms"

THE GOLD BOOK.

Genealogically, a gentleman must, OF
course, be third in descent and, locally,
he must have inherited million. II ne
has inherited ten million, then his de-
scent be hanged Though his mother
were a cook and his father a crook, he
is it. Elsewhere, the severity Of these
requirements are tempered. In Ger
many and Austria, you need not have
penny, but you must have quarterings
Without the latter Croesus himself
could not get in. He would not be re-
garded as born" The Faubourg, also,
is less severe than we are. The Fau-
bourg does not object to money and has
penchant for race, but it particularly
likes dullness. 1t is very gentlemanly
there to be heavy on hand. London is
more like New York. London admires
trees, but prefers estates.
So much, then, for genealogy. AS
you see, the test is lacking. So it is
with jurisprudence. Legally, gentle
man is one who has studied the laws
of the realm and does no manual Ia
Dor. That is concise, but not conyinc-
ing. Theory is better. theoretically,
gentleman is one who displays courage
and courtesy. Add simplicity to that
and you come near getting a decent
definition. The more simplicity you
add, the nearer you come. The czar OF
all the Russias may Wear-and proba-
bly, does-when he has to, the closed
and imperial crown of state with as
little arrogance as plain woman
wears an unbecoming hat. But affec-
tation of any kind, though often en-
dearing and always amusing, is never
well-bred Here endeth the first les
son.
The second concerns the lady. A
lady is the gentleman's perfect COM
plement. Or rather, was In sedater
days, a lady was careful to do nothing
important. That was the occupation
of the grande dame. In society, as
constituted today, there are women IN
plenty that are grandes DANES and
more yet that are d-n grand. There
is progress.
Mere males are less advanced. In
addition to other characteristics, some
of which are rather fashioned, they
are likely to hold that getting ones
name in the papers in connection with
smart functions is no more proof of
gentility than new way Of being dull
is evidence of original thought. Yet
when a hostess does give out their
names, they do not bear malice. AS
Cardinal Newman remarked, a gentle
man is always too indolent for that.
Such, then, are the hallmafks of
gentlefolk. In the disappearance Of old
families abroad, these things must
there be diminishing. In the appear
ance of old families here, locally they
must be increasing. The logic of that
admitted, it follows that in the passing
of European gentility is the chance for
American push.-Edgar Saltus in June

Women's Peacock Raiment.

1t used to be the hallmark of the
well dressed woman that every portion
of her attire matched in color, so that
dress. hat, gloves presented a perfect
harmony. 1t is no longer the rule
A revolution has been silently effected
this spring, and there was evidence of
it at the first race meeting at Long
champs. Variety is now the sign of
ultra smartness. The idea is to get as
many contrasts in tone as possible, to
make ones self a walking concert of
discord. For instance, it is the last
cry of elegance to wear a green hat
trimmed with velvet of violent hue
and large roses of a tawny color. This
last tone, too, may predominant in the
hat and contrast with gowns of reseda
green or steel gray. 1t is not given to
every one to support this kind Of
thing without flinching. But the
fashion has this advantage peo-
pie are well dressed without knowing
it-Pall Mall Gazette.

MUSICAL NOTES.

Mrs. McFarran presented four Of her
pupils in song recital last Tuesday even
Ing in the Odeon. In spite of the. incle-
ment weather, there was large audience
present to greet the young students. Miss
Georgia Sherman, Miss Ethel Chellew,
Miss Eleanor Swanstrom and Miss Planti-
kow appeared on the programme. All
have promising voices which showed the
effect of careful cultivation intelligently
directed. Some of the numbers sung
were rather ambitious for students so
youthful, but they served admirably to
reveal the promise and capabilities of
the voices, and it is, after all, question
whether a big aria, revealing though it
does the immaturity of temperament and
voice, is any less satisfactory for recital
purposes than some ''trifle of a song"
which invariably demands the finest art
for its correct interpretation. Certainly
the friends who heard two of the students
in arias Tuesday night had no reason to
cdvH over the manner of the presentation
of these. They revealed the limitations
of youth and incompleted study, to be
sure, but they revealed most satisfactory
progress as well. Miss Sherman and Miss
Swanstrom'S S voices are particularly prom
ising. The former has dramatic and

Wo Loves.
One was a child's romance.
A girls bewildering dream,
Woven Of fire and dew
And moonlight's silver gleam;
OF the fragrance of the rose,
The glory Of the stars,
The fash of sparkling waters,
The sunsets golden bars!
A thing Of smiles and bushes,
Quick thrills and throbbing heart.
A strange, mysterious glamour
That bade the tear-drops start.
One was a woman's love,
Woven of many strands,
Richer than braided gold,
Stronger than iron bands:
A love that holier grew
Through all the changefu1 years,
That clasped close hands with joy.
Yet wavered not for tears.
A love that loved through all things,
Through sorrow. pain and death
Through all the bliss and all the bane
To which life answereth.

The Empress Augusta, wife of Will
lam III, was Princess Augusta Victoria
Of Schleswig Holstein, when she mar
ried the emperor. then the crown
prince, February 81, 1881.
She was a daughter of Duke Fred
erick and his wife, Princess Adelaide,
of Hohenlohe, and was born October
%, 1858.
When young woman she was one
of the reigning European beauties, and
her good looks remain. She is very
able woman and is proud of the fact
that she is a German housewife of the
old school. She lives alone for her
husband and her children and is an
ideal wife and mother.
The kaiserin is justly proud of her
beautiful figure. She is slender and
most graceful; her figure is her great
est beauty. 1t has been labor to
bring about this desirable state of
things, for the kaiserin was inclined
to be decidedly stout some years ago.
Her majesty had horror of fat and
took herself sternly in hand.
With the aid of competent med
ical man. and with strong will, she
