Year Spirit at the Fountain Head of Fashion :

ing and evolved the short walking skirt
Now, is it a wonder that the modern
woman has been Hkened unto a sarto-
rial anaconda by the placid manner in
which she takes unto herself the frills.
furbelows and fripperies of all ages and
chimes? She is now taking a shot at
the jewelry of her grandmother and
great-grandmother. Large brooches,
especially canoes, coral and even solid
gold. are not despised. Bracelets that
were thought too cumbersome and ugly
to keep except for associations sake are
being drawn Out with pride by their
lucky pOSSeSsors.
When a woman of today essays a
gown of a certain epoch the jewelry
worn with it must be in harmony
belts, clasps and all the accessories
correct to letter; otherwise the toilet
is not deemed a success. To meet this
demand gems must needs be reset al
most every season. The new art jewel
ry, which was invented by the celebrat-
ed Salique, beautiful as many of its ex-
amples undoubtedly are, has been so
copied in cheap effects that, except in
rare instances, new art jewels are not
considered chic. The successful imita-
ton of handsome jewelry is responsible
for the craze for real antiques.
An expensive item to add to my lady's
have" is the new hand spun handker-
chief. This dainty costs as much as
SO. 1t is made of the sheerest linen,
is light as a cobweb and to the unini-
tiated is not at all extravagant look
ing The edges are worked by hand in
a small design, and the owners name
is worked in one corner in embroidery
cotton.
Nine. La Mode is lady Of infinite
versatility. She has ombred number
of the materials of the year, but one
hardly realized that this finish could be
applied to leather. AS a matter of fact,
burberyene leather, which is a shaded
variety, is becoming renowned through
out the world of fashion. 1t represents
a very light skin on which all sorts of
colors are charmingly blended-rich
reds, browns, bronzes- and -grays in ev-
cry shade from the lightest to the dark
est. 1t is therefore an easy matter to
choose belts, collars and buttons to tone
in with almost any cloth. The belts are
mounted with hammered bronze, silver
and copper buckles.

Always have lobster sauce with saIr,o~
And put mint sauce your roasted lamb On
In dressing salad, mind this law
with two hard yolks use one that's raw
And picked mushrooms, too, observe
Your mutton chops with paper cover
And make them amber brown All over
To roast spring chickens is to spoil EN-
'em. OiA
The cook deserves a hearty cutting
Who serves roast fowl with fas+ato..
stuffing.
Proll nghtIy your oeefsteak-to fry 1t
Argues contempt of Christian diet
It gives true epicures the vaporz
To see boiled mutton minus Gamers
NICE oyster sauce gives zest to cod
A fish, when fresh, to feast a god.
But one might rhyme for weeks this wav
And still have lots of things to say,
And so III close. for. reader mine.
This is about the hour I dine.

DAINTIES FOR
THE NEW YEAR

T%RUIT AND NUT SALAD. = Mix
half a pint of whipped cream with
two yolks of eggs, add the Juice
of one lemon, a half teaspoonful of salt
and a half teaspoonful of sugar. Pour
over the salad. Mix together in a bowl
a half cupful of pecan nuts boiled in
sailed water for ten minutes, a half pint
of finely cut apples the same quantity
of finely sliced oranges and half a cup
full of chopped celery. Open a head of
lettuce and remove the heart. Mix half
of the dressing with the fruit, nuts and
celery and fill the center of the salad
Pour over the remaining dressing and
decorate with slices of oranges, apples
and pecan nuts.
Nodded Eggs.-Butter a half dozen
timbale molds. Sprinkle the bottom
and sides with chopped parsley. Break
one egg in each mold, keeping the egg
whole. Sprinkle with a little salt and
pepper and put a tiny bit of butter on
top. Put the mold in a pan of hot wa
ter and place in the oven. Cook until
the whites of the eggs are set, which
usually takes from five to ten minutes.
Potato Biscuits.-Boil six white pota-
toes until tender. Mash them and
when cool add one cupful of milk and
enough -four to roll out. Add two tea
SpCOAAANAS VI DdhAHB pOWueT just before
adding the flour and cut into small bis
cults. Bake in quick oven twenty
minutes.
Rice and Cheese Croquettes.-To one
cupful of cold boiled rice add half a
cupful of cheese, one beaten egg. salt
and pepper. Turn out on a platter and
when cold divide into portions. Form
into croquettes, roll in crumbs, thel, in
beaten egg then again in bresldcrumbs.

Drain on paper and serve with tomato
sauce.

Proper Care of Rugs and Carpets.


How many rugs and carpets are
worn out in half the time they should
last by the constant beating and
sweeping they receives! Instead of
this they should be kept clean with a
carpet sweeper and occasionally put
out on the grass. Lay them on the
wrong side and beat with a furniture
beater; then reverse and sweep care
fully, using a soft brush for preference.
A little airing outside of the suns
rays is very good for them.
Always brush the carpet in the direc-
opposite direction, as this destroys the
luster. When a large carpet is to be
thoroughly cleaned it is better to send
it where the work is properly done.
These cleaners do the work very effec-
lively and are not hard upon the car
pets.
If, however, you have carpet squares
or rugs you wish to clean at home pro-
coed as follows: Stretch and tack the
square upon a clean floor, then scour
it well with soapsuds. After the scour-
ing il must be thoroughly rinsed to re-
move all trace of the soap, after which
the rug should be left in the same po-
sition to dry, and the tacks should not
be removed until it is perfectly dry. If
this is done the rug will not shrink and
will lie perfectly fiat upon. the floor
when put down.
Creases and ridges are sometimes
seen in rugs, which look like an imper-
lection in the weaving. This is jnva-
riably the result of the rug having
been folded and not rolled.

/, of Horace Walpole, painted by Reyn-
olds. Powdered heads and low cut
dresses fashioned exactly after the
gowns in the picture are charmingly
simple to construct.
While the nursery people at parties
don the costumes of long ago, their sis
tiers and mothers dress upon ordinary
occasions in quite as picturesque
fashion.
So many things affect sartoriaI af-
fairs that even war and politics have
direct bearing on the question. Modes
a Ia Russo have had quite vogue here
in Paris, and we were but recently en-
amored of the "Jappy" coat and in a
way still remain true to its influence.
Then, personalities influence costumes.
There are the Napoleon hat and the
Gariba1di waist. Spain is the inspira-
ton of the ever present bolero and to-
reader hat, and the revolution of France
is responsible for the directoire modes.
To continue the list, it was old Gaul
that suggested the killed skirt, while
the picture hat and lace blouse are
English inventions. And your. own
country, America, has exploited the
blouse waist, led the way in hairdress-

For a GHOST Party.

of Macbeth. The caldron was nothing
more than a large preserving kettle,
under which were fagots. The light was
obtained by burning alcohol sprinkled
with salt. The witches stirred the boil
ing liquid in the pot, uttered incanta-
lions and as the guests bobbed up fore
told what the new year had in store.
These witches were selected with care,
as much depended upon their thrilling
prophecies
Another game of "creeps' was car
ried out in the following fashion: The
company gathered about a large round
table, and some one appointed for the
task handed all kinds of shaky, shivery
objects underneath it. These were
passed from one guest to another. OBJ

or bal poudre are carried out in the
following attractive fashion: One small
girls dress will be of silver gray en-
broidered satin, with a large drawn
satin bonnet trimmed with an orange
paradise plume. The other gown is of
Powered silk, with mittens, mob cap
and fichu complete.
A party of the empire period would
not be complete without Napoleon in
the heyday of his career, so the Little
Corporal will appear in the gray uni
form and white breaches worn in his
soldering days in Italy and in the cere-
monious attire of court dress, wearing
the Legion of Honor on his breast.
These French New Years party cos
tunes remind me of lots of other old
world gowns which are quite as pic

sheepskin, a small fur muff, a wet
sponge and a toy mouse just wound up.
Ghost story telling was part of the
programme, and each member of the
party was asked to tell a story. When
the second tale was about to begin the
story telling was interrupted by visit
from supernatural guests. Clothed in
yards of floating gray stuff these wish
tants f1oated about until discovered by
some of the party. They then disap-
