Mock Turtle Soup.

Add four hard-boiled eggs cut into
eighths, glass of claret, the juice of
half lemon or a lemon peeled, then
sliced thin (this last to be laid on the
surface after the soup is dished), a
teacupful of boiling water and such
additional salt and pepper as your
taste adjudges to be needful. If you
care to take the trouble, omit the
whites of the eggs, pound the yolks
into a paste, work in melted butter, a
pinch of mustard, pepper and salt, and
bind with the yolk of a raw egg. Flour
your hands, make the paste into small
balls and drop into the boiling soup.
Simmer three minutes after they go
in.

Lone Widows Hundred Cats.

A singular case was decided in
Montreal court yesterday Mrs L.
Brossard, widow, resides in a rented
house and her landlord moved to have
the lease cancelled on the ground that
the woman used the house more as
menagerie than as a place of human
habitatiOn.
1t was set forth that about a hun
dred cats were kept by this lonely
widow, and the plea was that they
not only injured the premises but
were nuisance in the neighborhood-
The woman conducted her own de-
fense. She argued that she was a
poor, lone widow and therefore should
be allowed to have as many cats as
she thought necessary to solace her
declining years. Judgment was rend-
cred by Judge Taschereau, who or
dered the woman to vacate the house
and to pay all the rent due as well as
the costs of the case--Toronto Globe.

have a pretty, neat sacQue of the
latest design.
The design shows a tucked yoke in
front, thus enabling one to make
dainty, pretty design without the
large collar. The sacque may be worn
with or without the belt. For a
neat little dressing sacque that is nice
enough for afternoon wear, as well as
for a morning sacque, this is good
model to follow. Made up in figured
Japanese silk or challie, and using
white or plain material for collar and
cuffs, one fashions a most charming
design. Cashmere, a1batross. fleece
lined material and silk are suitable to
the mode.

Tricks in STOCKINGS.

In selecting stockings it is well to
buy a half size larger than one is sup
posed to wear, not only for the com
fort, but for the economy. since they
are less apt to break out quickly if
ample room is allowed for the foot.
Lastly, be sure to have your stock
ings always smoothly held in place.
Wrinkled stockings are almost as
great an offense against neatness as
is a down-at-the-heel shoe.
A woman who has very beautiful
collection of silk stockings finds a
good substitute for the havoc-making
garter in inch wide silk ribbons which
she sews to her corset and then slips
through an elastic loop attached to
each stocking The ribbon is then
tied in a bow at the side of the knee
