tily curved velvet band, pointed" at
intervals with tiny velvet buttons,
forms a pretty decoration to the hem
The revulsion of feeling in favor OF
the old V shaped bodice is rather an at
tractive one. We have had so much OF
heart shaped corsages, squares and the
like, and the V shape is undoubtedly
the most becoming to those of rathc,
full figure; also it tends to lengthell
the waist in appearance.
Buttons take high rank among moo
ish adornments-in fact, the number
of buttons on the up to date frock is
almost a criterion Of it's chic.
Tafetas of faint, faded grounds
strewn with bouquets of flowers ana
adorned with ruchings, Quillings, gar
landed embroideries and velvet bows
represent the, picturesque style. For
those who aim at 1.-The simple life" in
dress there remains the tiny tuck or
pills, so small and narrow as to be
little more than stitching. This is as
fashionable a mode of decoration as
can be desired.
Those who are responsible for the
invention and production Of new ma
terials seem to be assured of the con-
tinued popularity of soft, clinging,
graceful gowns, and coarse toile, spot
ted batiste and small checked chine
silks promise to be popular among the
spring and summer fabrics.

Healthful Spinnc CHI.

Spinach Puff. Cook the spinach,
drain, chop it very fine and beat in a
tablespoonful Of melted butter, salt
and pepper to taste and pinch of nut
meg. Let it get quite cold, then add
half a cupfuI of cream, the beaten yolks
Of two eggs and the stiff1y whipped
whites of three. Mix thoroughly and
quickly, then turn into a deep, we'll
buttered pudding dish and bake for
twenty minutes. Serve at once in the
dish in which it was cooked, with a
white napkin pinned neatly about it
IL the outside silver dish is not at hand
This is very nice way in which to
use left over spinach. Two cupfuis
will be required for this recipe.
Spinach Salad.-The cooked spinach
should be well drained and chopped
very fine. Season to taste and mari
nate with a plain French dressing.
Press into a mold and set in a cold
place until time to serve; then turn it
out carefully on crisp, tender lettuce
and garnish with daisies Of hard boiled
egg and little mayonnaise around the

tive led him to take up his residence
in the University Settlement, in one of
the most crowded portions Of New
York's east side. Here he met Miss
Pastor. She was born in Russia Of
Jewish parents who were among the
poorest of the poor. When she was
three years of age they removed to
London and lived in the Whitechapel
district, famed for it's poverty vice and
wretchedness. Then they came to
America, and at eleven years old little
Rose went to work in cigar factory
in Cleveland, o. For twelve years she
sat at bench from twelve to fourteen
hours day rolling tobacco into cigars
But she had aspirations, read and stud
led, wrote verses and short stories and
at last got position on Jewish paper
in New York. One day she was sent
to interview Mr.. Stokes at the Univer-
sity Settlement That was a day of
fate. She became worker at the set
t1ement. Acquaintance and friendship
Tipened into love, and they are to be
married this summer. Mr.. Stokes is an
Episcopalian. AS to the religious as
pect Of the union he says: THE faith
of Miss Pastor is identical with my
own. She is a Hebrew in the sense that
the apostles were Hebrews, and the
members Of her family are Hebrews,
but her whole personal faith is the
same as Enthusiastically Christian"
