ARTS. Sept. s.-The sensation
of the week here at the Vile
Lumiere has been smart
Franco Chinese wedding. The
contracting parties were Mile. Louise
sauvatet and NJ. Sue Tsu Fa, attache
OF the Chinese legation. A crowd of
tourists and struggling Parisians made
up a throng of curious spectators
around the Madeleine church, where the
ceremony took place. The bridegroom
in his gorgeous blue silk and gold en-
broidered robes, together with his IA
Their and many other Cinnamon, who
came in their national costume. made
a scene rarely witnessed in a Partisan
church. The bride looked graceful in
her princess gown of white satin
bounced with tulle and garnished with
orange blossoms. The bridegroom's
mother, who is French, wore an elegant
toilet Of nlauve silk incrusted with lace
and embroidery. Altogether it was a
most brilliant and original wedding.
"Where withal shall ye be clothed?"
Is the text from which every couturiere
is preaching these early fall days. The
modes, to be sure, are launched. but
whether they will ride the wave of
popular fancy or sink unnoticed in the
sea Of oblivion is left to capricious
femininity-and the next few weeks
to decide. Illuminating upon fashions
one soon reaches a point where the
blessings of Inen-in this respect are
made menifest-that is, their immunity
at least from the latest STYLE" In fact,
the latest mode seldom sits becomingly
on members of the masculine sex A
man may think he looks fashionable
when he merely looks foolish. But,
matters of dress, and they would soon
er change the color of their politics than
the cut of their trousers. An illustra-
ton of this strange feeling of theirs on
questions Of dress is shown in the con-
centrated scorn implied by the word
'turncoat" Mans conversation is
never pedantic on paste buckles, wise
on skirt lengths or Illuminating on
coats.
With a woman it is altogether differ
ent. In her eyes new gown is more
precious than new truth. Change of
mode, as of mind, is the great character
istic of woman, and the more she
changes the more she is the same.
Novelty of attire is to her as the
breath of life, and a woman who has
to appear always in the same dress is
no longer the same woman. Indeed,
sensitive creature condemned to ap-
pear in the same dress for an inter-
Ininable period would probably die
lingering death. New frocks are new
life to women, who find in the latest
tint a tonic compared with which quiz
nine and strychnia are as moonlight un-
70 sunlight. Many a new fur piece next
winter will doubtless Scure melancholy
and the latest thing in neckwear point
the way to health.
And apropos of this fascinating neck

on new and alluring form and prom.
ises to be just as much in vogue as
ever. Severer styles are coming in to
replace the flmy and exquisitely fine
little things so smart during the past
summer. Those of pique and linen of

haps the prettiest of the new chemi-

cotton and darn it, taking up every
other thread. One strand of fIoselle
of the correct shade should be used,
either for darning or for the first de-
scribed method. To become an expert
darner requires patience and good eye

a TTENTION seems to be more
and more attracted lately to d
form of cooking which for
want of better name is call
ed casserole cookery. AS matter of
fact, casserole is nothing more than the
French for saucepan, but we in this
country apply the word to a fireproof
earthenware dish brought into notice
of late years The sooner it becomes
an indispensable part of our kitchen
outfit the better, for it makes in every
way for economy-economy of ma
terials, time and labor-as materials
often too tough for ordinary cooking
may by this means be served in a nu-
tritious and tender condition. The
food. whatever it may be. being served
in the casserole in which 1t is cooked,
needs no "dishing up" Once the ma
terials have been started on their cult
nary way they require little attention.
But the crowning advantage of cas-
serole cookery. especially in a family
where from one cause or another meals
are apt to be irregular, is that the dish
can be kept waiting for a considerable
time without deterioration. Indeed,
gourmets say the food is improved by
the long infusion of the material in its
juices, and it is almost better the next
day. The advantages Of the casserole
are Of course many. another one be-
ing that 1t imparts no Objectionable
flavor to the most delicate ingredients
and is not nearly so apt to burn the
food in cooking as is metal saucepan.
The following recipes may give hints
which any intelligent cook can vary ad
innnitum:

are several methods. Here is the ordi-

nishcloth Lore.

Many are the housekeepers that fail
with regard to their dishcloths and con-
slider any old rag that falls to their
hands good enough for the purpose. It
cannot be too strongly insisted on that
dishcloths and. in fact, all kitchen
cloths should be made of coarse but
durable material which will bear the
scrubbing, scalding and disinfecting to
which they must be continually sub
jected. It is not an uncommon thing
for careless persons who do not recog
nize the necessity for scientific clean
Illness, but who are in other respects
admirable housekeepers, to use old bits
of underwear or stockings for dish
cloths, thinking that if these have been
thoroughly washed in water they have
been sufficiently disinfected. This.
however, is a great mistake Stocki
net is too close material as well as
not strong enough to bear the contin-
nal wear of the kitchen dishcloth- Buy
strong linen crash for this purpose and
cut it in suitable lengths, hemming each
piece and keeping them especially for
this use and no other Put a supply of
dishcloths through the wash each week,
replacing those that have been in use
with fresh ones
other kitchen cloths should be of
strong cotton stockinet- For this pur-
pose remnants of an underwear fac
tory may often be purchased for few
cents per pound. CASTOR clothes be-
come too thin by use to make durable
scrubbing cloths.
Remnants of stockinet bought by
the pound vary in size and may be
utilized for various cloths in the kitch-
en-. This stockinet can be scalded re-
neatedly. but when 1t becomes too stiff
for use it should be burned.

done, the bird is cut up raw it will

tones on the French color card for

interest of novelty, being quite unlike
