Carving a Turkey.
Written for The Star.

Written for The Star.
Some are born carvers. some-after pain
full effort-achieve carving. and some-un-
fortunate few-have carving thrust upon
them. In order to become skilful in the
art, 1t is of the first Importance to have a
sharp knife.
Daniel Webster, the story goes. once
undertook to carve the turkey at an old
fashioned New England Thanksgiving din
ner. The knife was dull as the traditional
hoe, and the bird proved refractory, giving
the great man more trouble than one OF
his celebrated campaign speeches. Final
ly, after an especially desperate effort to
cut through the hide of the troublesome
fowl the knife slipped and the bird turned
complete somersauit and landed In the
lap of lady who sat next the famous
man. But even after this effort Mr.. Web
ster never turned hair.
Madam. I'll trouble you for that tur-
key" said he. and went at the struggle
again with might and main.
But we are not all born with the aplOmh
of the great orator, SO it is as we'll to take
the precaution to have the knife sharp.
The turkey should always be served on a
platter large enough to hold the different
joints as they are carved. 1t should be
placed on the table with the breast to the
left of the carver. who commences opera
lions by first getting a firm grip on the
fowl by sticking the carving knife deer
down through the upper part of the breast
bone. Now, holding the fork securely In
the left hand take the knife in the right
and remove the legs and the second joint
together by passing the knife around the
joint next the body. Then take off the
wings In the same manner. and disjoint
them, cutting through the ligaments.
Before carving more from the turkey Il
is we'll to separate the leg and cut 1t into
two pieces. After this the breast Of the
turkey can be carved In thin, delicate
slices, with the knife held fiat against the
breastbone and faced away from the car
yer. Then the point Of the knife can be in
serted under the wishbone. and it. can bt
lifted, pressed backward and removed.
Good carvers now turn the turkey slight
ly. and without removing the carving fork
cut the shoulder blades from the under
side of the carcass. Each helping should
contain a piece of both white and darl
meat and a generous spoonful Of dressing

A JET REVIVAL.
Introduces Becoming Decollete>
Mode.

Mode.
Fashions are largely a question of re-
vivals, and. like jokes. one rarely runs
across a new and original one. The very
fact that they are revivals makes them
particularly pleasing to most Of US, since
it gives us the -pportunity to exclaim:
why. grandmother had dress made ex-
actly that way" We do not have to bark
back as far as our grandmothers for the
last vogue of jet-one of the prominent
features in the seasons modes.
Black spangles. and these are classed as
jet, though not so. properly speaking
never quite drop from notice, some statu-
esque beauty appearing Almost every sea-
son in a glittering black robe which so &C
centuates her good points that others i'm
mediately follow her example. But real
jet has not come up for notice for some
thing like twenty years. 1t made a modest
appearance last spring, and spring found
New York's leading dressmakers advocat-
ing 1t to their patrons.
Fine laces were sent out ito be jetted''
by those who pride themselves. on build
ing clothes equal to Paris in smartness.
These jetted laces were cleverly wrought
in with nets and chiffons. This method of
using jet-that Is, carrying out the pat
terms of lace, is greatly in vogue this win
ter, although the shops are now so we'll
provided with jetted laces of all sorts that
special order work is not a necessity. 1t
Is. however. a good suggestion to the wom-
an who has more hours than dollars for
She will find letting lace most agreeable
fancy work" and sort that counts much
economy.
Jet jewelry appeared In the summer also,
and now that the fall season is well under
way this fashion has well nigh amounted
to a craze. Old treasure boxes are being
searched and old jet bracelets and pins
and earrings brought forth and mended
and worn with much satisfaction. And
why not, since the smart shops are dis
playing modern replicas of them as the
latest novelty?"
The jetted gowns seen this season are
notably artistic, inasmuch as the let is
used most artistically and never overdone.
One of the best modes brought into New
York this autumn was a Worth gown in
black and white, ornamented with let and
silver buckles. The material was some
what heavier than tulle and not so coarse
as Russian net and more durable than
either. Black was placed over white tul-
Inc, with occasionally the OVERLAPPING black
cut away to show the white clearly against
the lining. The buckles were arranged in
the form of shallow scallops of irregular
size, lifting to the left side In overskirt
effect. The lines of buckles were fully an
inch apart, and yet the effect was that of
an deliberately jetted dress. The train had
five two-inch tucks in which the black
over white gave charming ''half-tone"
effect
The bodice carried out the scallops In its
letting, and touch OF olue velvet In a
shade somewhat deeper fnan turquoise at
forded relief. It Is interesting to know
that this costume was purchased the day
after 1t came through the customs by q
young matron of New York's smart set
who was known few years ago as one Of
the beauties Of the American stage

smallest bolero will be sufficiently warm at

fur jacket can be worn instead of the little
velvet coat and against velvet any sort of
