"the millionaires' BAZAAR" is
n par excellence the street of
fashion and elegance here in Paris.
Even in winter the windows of the
world famous dressmaking estab lish-
ments disappear behind artistically ar
ranged banks of living flowers. But
most fascinating of all the display OF
commerce on this avenue of fashionable
barter and change are the Jewelry
shops.
In this respect the Rue de la Paix is
q miniature gallery where fantastic
combinations in metal and gem work
delight the heart of the connoisseur.
The prices demanded for modern and
original Jewelry by the Rue de la Pafx
artists are enormous and quite equal

Marie Antoinette.'' These prices do not
brighten American multimillionaires or
rich Parisians, who escort their wives
and daughters to these tempting en-
poriurns with the greatest nonchalance.
The most famous goldsmiths, however,
hold themselves aloof from the haunts
of fashion and have to be sought for in
out of the way places There are three
of these exclusive workers in gems of
whom Parisians are especially proud.
The most remarkable probably is La

design both inside and out, is a gem
of a house situated under the trees of
the Seine quay. A first glance into
LaliQue's shop causes surprise at the
dearth of jewelry displayed, for his
creations are not to be seen in the bulk,
but each masterpiece has a separate
setting where it shows to the best ad-
vantage. The designs are mostly Etrus-
can and Byzantine in shape and color.
and every stone, regardless of its in
significance in market value, is grist
to his mill.
It is difficult to obtain a specimen of
LaAque's art, as he works largely for
pleasure When a customer enters his
shop with the intention of purchasing
something for a lady the artist is not
pleased unless the lady herself is pres
ent or has sent her picture. Every
Jewel, he insists, should have the right
personal setting, and he discourages the
purchase if he has nothing on hand he
considers suitable. He is an ideal
artist, who cares more for his work
than he does for customers.

ways-for instance, cut the tender
parts into inch lengths. dip two or three
together in frying batter and cook in

Japanese eggs, although not of a
nutty nature, are beloved of the vege-

as summer dainty. Wash a cupful OF
rice and boil it rapidly till tender.

it in the oven until the eggs are ready.
Boil six eggs so they will be hard when
the rice is sufficiently cooked. Shell
them and cut in two crosswise. Take
out the yolks and rub them fine with a
little butter, chopped onion, salt and

turn them to the whites. Cut a tiny
slice off the end of each half egg to
make it stand upright. Mold the rice

consequence of careless cooking she is

the cooking frame, first lay the stalks
in cold water, then with a vegetable
knife cut off an inch of the stalk and

bottom and tie them in bundle large

water to within two inches of the top.
In this way the heads are steamed, and
if kept over the fire for from thirty to
forty minutes the chief part of the white
stalks will be as tender and eatable as
the green. The most attractive way to
serve hot asparagus is on trebly fold

moisture. Serve the sauce in a sepa-
rate dish, and it may either be one of

The dressier summer thin frocks are
dreams of beauty and at once the de-
spair and envy of the home dressmaker-
A white batiste dress, for instance, is
perfectly fascinating made over thin
silk, the skirt trimmed with alternate
ruff1es of va1enciennes lace and Eng
fish embroidery crossed in fchu fashion
and held at the ends with tiny Topped

fichu and epaulets are of ruffled lace
and embroidery, and the harness girdle
is of ribbon. White silk linen is the
material which goes into the making
of another attractive frock. The blouse
bodice has a small collar and sleeve
facings embroidered with green dots
and loops of green ribbon. The skirt
has incrusted bands of white linen lace
outlined with dots.

wedding Hints.

It seems singular that the French.
who are so artistic and take such heed
of the fitness of things, should not
gown their bridesmaids in the same
style of dress. It is fact that at the
smartest weddings in Paris the at
tending maid wears any frock she may
think pretty and appropriate.
The latest present for the bridegroom
to give the bridesmaids is gold chain
purse in pig shape. Bridesmaids have
become a little tired of brooches made
of interlaced monograms, and the
bracelet seems to have outlived its
vogue. 1t will be happy day, indeed,
for the bridegroom when the fashion Of
giving presents other than bouquets is
abandoned. 1t is often somewhat of a
tax and, like other taxes, is not always
paid cheerfully.

A greasy sink is not to be tolerated,
and the cleaning of it If it be of glazed
ware may be easily accomplished with
the aid of kerosene. Dip a piece of
flannel in a little of the oil and then
rub it over the sink. All the grease and
dirt will quickly come off, and the smell
of the kerosene can be easily removed
by washing with soap and hot water.
This treatment will also have a cleans
ing effect on the sink pipes.
