Then stand them where the heat is
lower and let them simmer very gen
tly until each prune is so soft that it
may be easily crushed between the FIN
gers, This will take over an hour.
When the prunes are soft, sprinkle
in enough graduated sugar to sweeten
them palatably and let them simmer
five minutes longer Then set the
sauce pan off the stove and when the
.prunes are quite cold pour the whole
in glass dish.
To stew dried apricots put half
pound of them i'll a colander and let
cold water run over them to free them
from dust. Then put them in a sauce
pan with enough cold water to cover
them the same as the prunes and let
them soak over night.
In the morning stand the apricots
over the stove where the heat is very
low and let them simmer gently till
they are soft, but not broken Then

daughter or a friend, who will see to
it that everybody gets comfortably
placed on camp chair, and that when
the musicale begins no late arrivals
hustle in or idle-minded guests fall to
whispering over samples.
Late arrivals must be held sternly
i'll check i'll the hall until the first fixed
pause i'll the lecture, which you allow
for their benefit. If your manage
ment is good, you do not wait for
tardy guests to arrive. At ten min
utes after II, no matter how dilatory
the audience may be, the musicale be
gins.
The Feeding OF the Guests Must Be
Carefully Studied.
There are usually FIVE minutes OF in
structive discourse, and then a piano
forte illustration breaks any posi-
bility Of monotony. The right and
reverent kind Of an audience sits at
the most complimentary attention,
without applause, until II O'Clock
strikes and the performance is over.
At the conclusion Of the musical
feature, you must. as hostess, allow
fifteen minutes for an exchange Of
pent-up opinions, and then you order
the dining-rOOm doors to be opened
served. Bouillon, Oyster patties, but
tered toast, hot chocolate and coffee,
sandwiches, chicken croquettes and
fruit salad form the proper repast to
offer TO the guests, who eat as they
stand about the table, from which
they help themselves. By half-past one
o'clock a well-regulated musical mat
inee should be over The afternoon
musical reception does not begin
until 4 o'clock
Nowadays, the musical reception IS
given to honor and exploit some bril-
liant amateur or some great artist who
is friend Of the hostess, and is made
the lion Of the occasion. The people
who sing or play at an afternoon
musicale are not paid for their efforts.
1t is only at the large evening affairs
that a programme is announced, and
an agent is employed to- get up the
concert When you can claim the
friendship Of some famous artist. or
when you arc entertaining the wealthy
Miss Jones Of Joliet, whose voice is
the equal Of Melba's own, or when
YOU wish to obtain hearing for an
impecunious young protege, who IS
quite worthy to step into the shoes of
Sarasate, you give a reception with
music, and you may, if you choose,
rent an orchestra or a famous accom-
PIANIST
At any rate. you arrange for your
gifted friend to give three to five
selections during the afternoon, in
order to introduce him or her to all
your guests With the newly &C
quired wisdom of the smart hostess,
you don't invite your whole calling
list Music for the musicians" is the
new rule. and when you send out your
cards. you overlook those Of your ac-
quaintances who would prefer bridge
whist or automobiling even to hearing
the morning stars sing together.

nouncement Of a musical excuse for
your proclamation of an AT home"
will bring out a plentiful audience.
Proper Costume in Which to Receive
Your Guests.
The proper costume for you to wear
when receiving is the best you
have of the high-necked and elbow
sleeved variety. You cannot array
yourself too gorgeously for this type
OF entertainment. There are reigning
hostesses who put diamonds in their
hair, and who have promulgated the
rule in favor of small coronets. such
as Queen Alexandra of England wears
at her big afternoon receptions. Long
gloves and violet corsage bouquet
of recOrd-breaking size are added as
essential touches of elegance

joyment Of this luxury, the hostess
receives in the drawing and the
guests 60 on into the music room,
where they listen to the musical num-
bers and are introduced to the celeb
rity Of the hour Where there is only
one room for the music and for the
reception Of the guests, the hostess
leaves the door when her lion is to
sing or play, and stands so near to the
piano that she can easily enforce
silence and lead in listening and in
the applause.
1t is no longer permissible to chat
ter and wriggle, whisper and nod at
even the most fashionable musicale
The hostess cultivates an eagle eye
for offenders against the peace, and
not until the songs are ended or the
instrumental numbers complete is it
good form to open the way to the
dining-rOom and offer the usual COM

TUST at this time when apples.
with the exception, perhaps, Of
the greening and one or two
II brands Of the Baldwins, have
lost their flavor, and oranges and
grape fruit are really the only fresh
fruits in the market, the housewife
naturally turns to the big supply of
preserved and canned fruits kept by
every grocer.
OF course, if the housekeeper could
afford to do so, it would be better to
supply the table always with fresh
fruits, but there are thousands of even
very good liverS who do not feel that
they can pay the large prices which
are asked for oranges and grape fruit.
This year, these fruits, on account OF
very cold weather in the South, to say
nothing of the speculative methods of
the middle men, are unusually high in
price.
Canned and preserved fruits are all
very good if they are put up at home,
but to many persons those put up IN
factories are either too sweet or not
sweet enough. In this dilemma Of
how to supply the table with fruit
many women seem to forget all about
the delicious dried fruits in the
market. First of all comes the great
standby of the Germans, the dried
prunes; then there are dried peaches,
pears, apricots, cherries and silver
prunes. All are delicious. and, when
properly prepared and stewed, del
icate in flavor, nutritious and easily
digested, besides being low in price.
The art of stewing dried fruits has
been mastered by very few wives. and
vet it is so simple that the connois-
seur wonders at the wretchedly pre-
pared and almost tasteless stewed
Drunes and apricots that are served
in all restaurants and most homes.
To stew prunes so that they are
not only a palatable but a delicious
Wand, carefully follow these direc-
tons:
Take half pound of either French,
German or the California prunes.
This is a matter of taste. Look them
over carefully and remove any bits
of paper or foreign matter. Then put
them in a colander and let cold water
run over them for half minute to
free them from dust. Then take a
very sharp fork and after piercing
each prune two or three times. put
them in the same jar in which they are
TO be cooked. Pour cold water over
them 10 the depth of an inch and d
half and let them soak over night.
In the morning squeeze the juice o.
lemon over the fruit, put the sauce
nan over the back Of the stove, and LEI

Wells to Prevent Freckles.

The season Of tan and freckles is
not SO many weeks ahead, and the
summer girl is already taking precau-
tons to preserve her fair complexion.
Authorities say that the best pre-
ventive of freckles would be an orange
colored veil, as the yellow rays are
non-actinic. Inasmuch as there are
but very few girls who would be will
ing to wea- such a brilliant hued veil,
the next best thing would be one Of a
light tan color. Tan is largely yellow
i'll composition. and it does not allow
the freckle making rays to reach the
skin. That is why photographers use

~ HOULD you have a social axe
to grind, or ambitions as a
~ hostess to crafty, give a musi-
Gale. There is no more popu-
lar or profitable form Of entertainment
known to this season. But if the way
into your fat-housc parlor is up a
winding stair, and if your mind is
open to valuable suggestions, content
yourself with giving matinee must
Gales. Fashionably speaking, all
musical gatherings held during the
day are matinecs, and they are now
the only sort of modish and well-at-
tended musical functions.
The formidable, ponderous, long
programmed evening affair has lost
its vogue. In its place the musical
matine" has arrived.
This is celebrated between IL o clock
and noon, and it nearly always takes
the form of an illustrated talk on d
composer and his work The after
noon function is usually small recep-
ton punctuated with melodious num-
bers. \ genuine musical matinee has
the double charm Of being inexpensive
and appropriate for a very small draw
ing-rOOm, in which the hostess can act
as reception committee, impresario
and assistant entertainer.
In the beginning of the season these
morning sessions with music were in
augurated in New York with a view to

intellectual, to hsider the eccentrici-
ties of Ricta Strauss, the Simplici-
ties of Bach, or the peculiarities Of
the latest long haired musical maniac
from Russia. The absolutely perfect
musical matinee does not last longer
than one hour, and a paper is always
read.
Home Talent or Hired Musicians
Equally Acceptable.
The hostess, whose thoughts arc all
on glory set, supplies the pianoforte
selections which accompany the read
ing of the paper, or she takes her pen
III hand and writes the paper herself,
and invites or hires some brilliant
amateur or professional performer to
play for her.
If she is not equal to either share
III the performance, she can send out
and engage accomplished talent in the
persons of two faultlessly gowned and
expert young women whose profess
sion is that of supplying the enters
tainment for such gatherings.
But whatever course you pursue in
catering to the intellectual appetite
of your audience, remember that you
must not crowd your drawing
with amiable but non-musical friends
1t IS not only preferable, but decidedly
more fashionable, to ask few rever-
ent guests; otherwise you cannot have
the proper atmosphere or command
that soothing silence which, since the
cult of "Parsifar' developed into a
craze, has become a prominent feature
at all the musical affairs

Then, in big underlined capitals in
the opposite corner, you add r s.
V. P, and you mean it. Those who
don't answer and those who don't
come precisely at IT o'clock are con
sidered as not having received your
invitation.
1t makes no difference how small
your drawing may be. YOU must
give it, for the afternoon, the air OF
a private sale de musique" You
must have piano and reading dest.
at one end, and near the piano, on Il
small table, you must display bronze
or plaster bust or an imposing picture
OF the genius whose works are the
motive Of your entertainment. IF it
is picture, you display n vase Of
flowers beside it. In case you have
secured a bust, you should crown its
head with a green wreath.
How 10 Receive Your Guests as They
Arrive.
AS the guests arrive. you receive
them at the door Of the drawing-room,
after they have put off their wraps
and you wear a very good and im
pressive gown that has train and an
air of stately festivity about it. Black
velvet won't do, because nobody wears
black velvet tremendously until after
y o'clock, but crepe de chine, hand
some study in cloth, or a coIored vel
veteen are all in good taste. A very
few jewels and simple couture are
appropriate with the high-necked,
long-sleeved morning gown. You

After General Miles, brave, efficient
and honored soldier, becomes too old
to serve his country longer in that
capacity and is placed upon the retired
list with ii good salary, or pension, he
begins to indulge in that foolish babble
about imperialism, "militarism," :"
"Napoleonism," etc. In view OF the
fact that all of General Miles fame
comes from his ability as a fighting
man, his present attitude must be
charged to either dishonesty or a dis
ordered mind. Charitable persons will
give the old man the benefit of the
doubt and sympathize with him in his
nuttiness.
