when the coat or cape Is worn. At equal
distances from these edges the flannel Is
cut up part way from the lower edge.
This forms the division of the sleeve
piece from the fronts. After leaving spaces
Of flannel wide enough for the sleeve pieces,
the flannel Is again cut up. part way from
the bottom to form the division OF the
sleeve pieces from the back. The whole
jacket may then be pinked or bound around
or hemmed on all its edges. Ribbons are
then sewed to- either side of each sleeve
piece and tied together under the arms.
Ribbons are sewed to each edge of the back
and to the under-arm edge of each front.
the left front under the arm and the right
side Of the back to the right front. The
sacque Is also fastened at the throat with
ribbons It will be seen that II pinlxing is
used this aacque may be made with no
sewing except that which Is necessary to
attach the ribbon.
The most beautiful embroidery, although
always that which is light in design and
simple In effect. is used to ornament some
OF the little flannel Jackets. The embroid-
cry may be all in white, but 1t Is quite In
good taste to have pale blue or pale pink
used.
The little yoke sacque has the tucks
which make the yoke covered with rows OF
French dots and dainty longitudinal vines.
It has also full sleeves, which are rather
unusual but very pretty In q baby's sacque.
The vines and dots are In pale pink and
are equally pretty In pale blue. The other
embroidered saeque Is trimmed with quite
an elaborate rose pattern. A q usual thing

most exquisite texture and finish that lends
itself beautifully to the new models that re-
quire such close-ftting garments. These
same coats and princess gowns, that have
already been alluded to, require to be made
of this cloth, for it fits closely to the fig
ure, can be made by interlining warm
enough for the coolest weather without
adding perceptibly to the size of the waist,
and at the same. time draped into those
long folds that are so artistic and becoming
and also permits of the enormously wide
skirts that are SO much the fashion with
out giving such a lot Of weight to carry
about.
In truth, woman cannot be too careful
in the choice of cloth for her winter cos
tune, as the present styles are almost i'm
possible to wear with any comfort If the
| material of which the gowns are composed
Is of heavy weight, and, after all, 1t is
much easier to have garment made warm
enough by interiinfng than to trust to the
original thickness of cloth to give the de-
sired warmth.
Somewhat on the severe order. but very
effective. all the same, are the elaborate
taiior-made gowns, with the three-quarter
length coats that are fitted to the figure
and that are eaborately trimmed with vel
vet, either plain or embroidered, and with
the facings of contrasting colors. There is
a new skirt sixteen cores, with tre-
mendous flare around the foot, which is
possible with much trimming, and there is
circular skirt on which trimming also
shows to great advantage. All this width
of skirt, with the broad shoulders in the
coat, makes the waist look smaller and
consequently makes the gown look like this
years model.
The sleeves now stand out from the shoul-
der instead of dropping at the top. They
are not exaggerated in size; in fact. as a
rule, are rather on the medium size; but
in some of the long coats they are still
large and full The favorite sleeve follows
the lines of the arm to certain extent,
fitting close to the arm below the elbow
and with the trimming on the lower part
of the sleeve. There Is one style, though.
where the trimming begins just below the
top of the sleeve and goes In a straight
line to the wrist-this in fur or velvet is
very effective.
With the princess gowns of cloth or vel
vet there are charming short jackets on
the bolero order that are becoming to slen-

wants. Unless, though housekeeper hap
pens to be a Catholic In good repute, as a
strict follower of her religion, let her not
hope to lure one of these black birds out
of the convent nest.
The sisters care for as many children as
they can house and feed, and a comical-
looking set these children are. In color
they range from coal black through all the
lighter shades up to dirty, freckled. red

visitors are present. There are children
from Mexico, the West Indies and South
to-do parents. who pay generously for their
keep. and insist upon those seductive ac-
complishments - fancy work and plano

The sisters dwell with great pride upon
the wonders they have done by faith In
God and begging from friends. As re-
CARDS the last. one of the sights in the New
Orleans custom house are the sisters, white
and black, who on each pay day mutely
stand on either side Of the corridor through
which the employees must pass on their way
from the cashiers office. With outstretched
hand each sister silently charms a coin out
of some mans pocket. Few are brave
enough to Withstand that appeal. The ne
gro employees stick to their color and give
their doles TO the black sisters, while not a
few of the whites give also to the blacks.
Tho Convent of the Holy Family has been
lucky enough to have several beQuests In

the sisters are useful members OF society.

Three Ways of Boosting Meat.

In the case of roasting at an open fire
which Is. of course. by far the best method
the fire should be SO prepared before putting
the joint to 1t as to last. with but slight
addition Of fuel, during the whole time OF
cooking. Place the joint close to the fire
for ten minutes. then withdraw little. and.
till it Is done. baste it thoroughly at short
intervals. 1t is best to allow fifteen min
utes to the pound of beef or mutton and
twenty minutes for pork and veal. and In
each case about quarter Of an hour over.

PURPLE doTE CosTuNrE

to line the dress skirt with silk even with
a drop skirt, but to have deep fiounce of
silk sewed to the skirt and then have the
drop skirt and petticoat all in one as 1t
were, thus doing away with garment
Slight women like the drop skirts, stout
women are in favor of the fiounce and skirt,
but just here let it be known that in order
to have cloth or velvet gown made on the
models of the season there must be faring
skirt so made that there is a deep fiounce
or ruffie of silk. for If a wide skirt hangs
in around the feet 1t Is very ugly and loses
all style and smartness.
Skirts fit close around the hips, fare very
wide, are most becoming when the lines are
long and when the trimming is arranged
also In long lines. There are very few plain
skirts seen, especially in the more elaborate
styles of gowns, but the trimmings are all
around the lower part of the skirt. The
overskirt is more than hinted at, and there
are some few models that show a drap!ng
that recalls the days of the draped over
skirt. The tiounced skirts are by no means
out of style, but. In truth. to particularize
the skirt models of 1905-06 would be
weary task; in other words, there are more
designs than usual to choose from and at
the same time the effect of them all Is the
same-while fitting close around the hips
they widen out gradually, and while appar-
emily fitting close there is sufficient width
to prevent a too scant appearance, for
skirt that looks as though IL were made of
too little material Is considered shockingly
ugly and is unbecoming even to the most
slender of figures. The polonaise, that ia
vorite garment of old times, Is more than
suggested In the coats, and the new prin-
cess gowns with the draping already al
luded to at the sides, and there never was
a more becoming fashion to a woman whose
figure was slender but be it remembered
that to a woman whose figure Is not good
this is a most unbecomfng fashion, for II
accentuates even the slightest defect.
Rough cloths and fancy effects in ma
teriai are rot very satisfactory for the
more elaborate styles of reception gowns.
Lott how aIrxrat
been for this style Of dress considered the
best, and. although from time to time there
have been some more or less eccentric eff
fects in velvet that have won approval, the
fashion has never remained popular for any
time, and the mixed effects are only
possible in the trimmings.

Mexican Tortillas.

Have you ever eaten tortilla? That is
what the Indians and the Mexicans call
them, and perhaps you may think that a
pancake called by that name may taste
better than the fiapjacks that Bridget cooks
for you at home. II you would like to try
them here is the recipe, but It is said that
as much depends upon the manner of max
ing them as upon the materials used, 50
I win tell you just how the tortillas saw
were made.

and the time was meal time. which is, as

NE of the most picturesque sights of
4 a the Vieux Carre OF New Orleans Is
the negro nun, Come upon her
~ where you will, and as often as You
may, she Is ever fresh delight.
Her demure. downcast face, her severe
garb, and. above all. that snowy bonnet, In
striking contrast with that black face,
make something so vastly different from
what we are accustomed to in tho women
of her race. Your genuine negro woman
is usually a voluble. loud-voiced shouter at
camp meetings-she bedecks herself In gor-
geous raiment, and II her bonnet swears at
her dress her neighbor Is only that much
more envious OF her good luck and taste.
She is diffuse and unctuous OF address and
the most seductive fiatterer that ever
coaxed largesse out OF tickled vanity.
But this cloistered simulacrum Is sister to
her only in color. She goes softer, Is even
more subdued than the white nun. while
her outward presentment Is the very quint-
essence OF holiness. Good women, too, they
are. these negro nuns.
The most OF them have some education
and the mothers superior OF the different
orders are women OF much intelligence and
marked administrative ability.
One OF the negro sisterhoods Is that of
the Holy Family, domiciled in Orleans
street. In q great gray brick building not
stones throw from the Blossomy Close
or the st. Louis Cathedral. This building
used to be the Orleans Theater. In its
great rooms were held the famous quadroon

their white sisters many a jealous heart
ache.
But ring the bell OF that door now. and
II Is opened by black sister and as at
her invitation you walk across that tesse-
lated hallway 1t is impossible to so wrench
the mind as to realize that vanished past
SO sharply drawn IS the difference between
It and the present.
This particular order was founded be-
fore the war by three rich, intelligent free
women OF color. Its work is altogether
good. Its first care Is that ~of orphaned
children then OF those whose natural guar
dams are neglectful or cruel. This latter
field of labor is wide one. as the average
negro parent makes a fetch of the rod and
Furnishes his children brutaily.
Very sensibly. these sisters do not pay
overmuch attention to book education. The
catechism, of course; but after that little
lsarning. IN their opinion, goes a long way.
They strive to give the children a good In
dustriai training, and 1t is a matter of COM

around. It is tied with ribbons at the

at the back of the neck. The cloak may
also be trimmed with a pretty design in
ribbon work.
