WAYS TO Cook Cabbage.
New York Evening Post.
l.ft

New York Evening Post
That the food value of the cabbage is low
and that it is not readily digested by deli
cate people is undoubtedly true, but a nice
ly prepared dish often serves a good pur-
pose by merely stimulating the appetite and
affording a change of diet. Boil a small
cabbage. and the next day, when the last
trace of the odor has fled. chop il in small
pieces Salt and pepper and add table
spoonful of melted butter. When this has
been stirred in put over the fire with half a
cupful OF milk or cream. When hot stir in
two well-beaten eggs and Immediately turn
into a hot buttered frying pan. Stir with
fork until browQ. and then heap like an
omelet, and when the under surface is well
Drowned serve on a hot dish with minced
parsley.
Cabbage au gratin is delicious. Boil and
chop the cabbage and place in a porcelain
dish with plenty OF cream sauce. II is best
perhaps TO alternate the cabbage and the
cream sauce, but an experienced cook
knows how 10 incorporate the sauce with
the vegetable i'm just the right way by
lifting with fork and allowing the sauce
TO reach every part OF the dish. Crate
cheese and bread crumbs thickly over the
top of the cabbage and dot with bits of
butter. Bake until the sauce bubbles up
and the top is brown.

"a Ragged Hero at the Park.

A conventional melodrama of the crude
primitive school is "A Ragged Hero which
opened half-w weeks engagement yesterday
afternoon at the Park before a large audi
ence. but IL is just the sort of play that
makes a strong appeal TO the patrons of
the popular-price theaters. There is the
usual murder in the first act and the wit
ness to the dastardly deed-there is always
witness of some sort, you know-happens
to be balloonist who is lowering in his
aerial invention above the farmyard where
all of the trouble is occurring. The aero
naut then proceeds to lose control of his
balloon, it seems, and is carried away to
some out-of-the-way spot that nobody ever
heard of before. This is quite natural-the
most natural thing in the play-for 1t is a
well-known fact that balloonistS always do
lose control of their balloons. And so 1t
looks as II the sole witness of the murder
would never turn up TO prove the villain
guilty and the hero innocent-for. of course,
the hero has been accused OF the murder.
Heroes always are accused of murders.
But in the end the balloonist puts in an
appearance, to the delight of the good peo-
pie in the play and the good people in the
audience, and succeeds in rightlng all
wrongs. This balloon feature is not the
only novelty in "A Ragged Hero" The
scene in the play that wins the greatest
outburst of applause Is the one where
Willie" the tramp, leaps into the barnyard
swing, and swaying it TO the height of the
second-story window of the farmhouse,
saves little girl from being burned to
death, the house having been set on fire by
the villain. who, by the way, Is just too
bad for words. Herbert l.. Denton plays
the part of the villain and plays it in so
thorough manner that the interested spec
tators detest him most heartily and shower
a cyclone of Kisses upon him occasionally
by way of giving vent TO their feelings. Hal
Brown appears as the ragged hero and
keeps the audience laughing during most of
the time that he is on the stage. Julia
West is attractive in an ingenue character,
and others who acquit themselves cred
itably are Albert Shirley, J. Philip Smith,
Frank Ball, Gertrude Swiggett, May ellison.
Sarah Baron and little Mabel Gibson The
play is well staged throughout. "A Ragged
Hero" will doubtless do a good business dur

Among the newer stocks are some Of
crepe de chine and one shop is showing the
stocks in several different shades of tan,
among them the popular champagne tint.
The stocks have long ties with a narrow
hem, and they are tied in small bow be-
meath the chin, the ends falling almost to
the waist They are not really, SO smart as
the stocks of trim bows and knots, but
still variety is the spice Of stocks.
Some imported linens among the new
shirtwaist materials shown. The fabrics
come in solid colors and are marked by
cords into tiny checks or larger squares.
They are particularly attractive in blue
and several shades of that popular color
are shown.
Colored handkerchiefs for men have taken
on the gray tones, which are to be the
smart effects in the coming season and
number of handsome things are shown in
soft gray silks with tiny figures in self
color. The borders usually have stripes of
contrasting color and the handkerchiefs are
exceedingly effective as well as expensive.

The paper napkins. which are used now
for so many purposes, are shown in a num-
ber of new designs. For the hostess who
entertains at cards and who does not care
to use her linen napkins there are the
dainty paper ones with card designs in the
corner, and another new pattern shows a
scalloped edge with tiny vine for decora-
ton. The usual price of the paper napkins
is cents a dozen.
A new shirtwaist model shown in one of
the shops has a number of small plaits
either side the front. The plaits are
stitched to the bust where the stitching
ends in a point and the fullnesS is released
The material of the shirtwaist is one of the
handsome new madras fabrics, gray, with
a tiny green figure.
A new design in a bookcase is broad and
rather low and the glass door is covered
half way up with lattice of flemish oak.
