WORN BY A DUCHESS.


The Duchess OF Marlborough, who
loves lace and is slender enough to
wear models that many women could
not consider, has a whitemiroir evening
coat than which nothing could be more
odd. 1t is a most extraordinary combi-
nation of Empire and kimono, with a
wrap suggestion.
The neck is cut round and all this
upper part is quite plain. This forms,
as 1t were, a bolero, and then the ma
teriaI is taken and fulled on in tucks
under each arm running round to a
depth of twelve inches. In the middle
of the back the tucks are not confined,
but the lines are allowed to droop until
a pointed hood effect is gained, begin
ming seemingly between the shoulder
blades. In front the skirt joins to the
upper part with a continuation of the
tucks under the arms. 1t meets at the
centre. Around the bottom it is cut
lower In back than in front. and superb
heavy lace Is applied about twenty
inches deep in front running down to
eight in the back. A shaped piece of
similar lace outlines the neck, and there
are lace undersleeves coming below the
velvet set.

TOoTHsOME DISHES.

Something newt" Something newt"
is the eternal cry of the h-ousekeeper.
Truly, every woman who keeps house
must tire of preparing or even ordering
the same old things. Some very famous
creole recipes that have come direct from
old families may answer this cry. Surely
the Southerners live well If nothing else,
and these recipes are delicious from the
old test, ''the proof of the pudding 1t In
the eating"
Canned fish of all kinds. II the best
brands are purchased, help to change the
menu during the cold winter days, and
the recipe for shrimp fricassee that fol-
lows will make a very appetizing fish
when old recipes have grown stale:
Shrimp Fricassee-Put a teaspoonful of
lard In a saucepan; when 1t is hot stir In
one spoonful of flour; stir over the fire until
the flour is a rich brown; then add one
onion chopped fine and when that has
fried a little (but before 1t browns) add
two tablespoonful of tomatoes. 1t 1t stew
a little With the saucepan covered on a
slow fire; then when the tomatoes have
melted do Nn add two cups of hot water,
season to taste with salt, pepper and
cayenne. Let IL stand a few minutes be-

TO WASH BLANKETS.

Take one-half cake of soap. cut into
small pieces and dissolve thoroughly
in hot water. Pour this into enough
cold water to cover the blankets. Add
two ounces OF pulverized borax and
put your blankets to soak all night.
In the morning take them out n
squeeze most of the water out of them,
and rinse thoroughly in cold water in
which a little borax has been dis
solved. Put them through a second
water and then through bluing water.
Do not wiring or squeeze them this
time, but hang them up to dry. The
easiest way is to take them while in
the last water out under the line. as it
is not convenient to carry them while
full of water. Hang them by one end
or side. OF course, you want a sunny
day for drying them nicely, and IL you
put them to soak and the next day Is
stormy 1t will not hurt them to soak
longer. IF the wool is greasy use more
soar and borax.
Fine f1annels and babies sacks and
crocheted skirts are nice when washed
in this way. and if you use cold water
it prevents shrinking. Vary the pro-
portion of soap and borax to suit the
quantity of water.

The domestic service problem which Is
confronting the women of this country
is far from being settled. and~in all
probability will remain a problem until
some women who employ servants real
ize that domestics are human, subject
to human ills. and in need of just the
same consideration as their mistresses,
when 1t comes to the question of recre-
alton.
Servants are q nuisance I heard a
woman say; they demand so much
that one would rather do ones own
work than be bothered with them.
They must have a sitting room be-
sides their sleeping room and an after
noon a week, to say nothing of the
evenings they ask for. And, as for
wages, it would beggar one to pay the
prices the poorest of them ask"
Now, I'd like to see the mistress who
would be satisfied to spend her leisure
time in her kitchen after her work was
finished, or who would think she was
getting sufficient recreation if she only
allowed herself the freedom of one after
noon a week. from the cares of a
kitchen.
If such conditions were compulsory
dIilOlIS lOuGChGCPCIo WHO w lllClI W
own work, what complaints we would
nave to listen to.
Then why should the woman you
pay to do your work be expected to
labor under such conditions? Is it fair?
Is she not a woman, too, and is it not
just as natural for her to feel the ne
cessity of a rest oftcner than Thurs
day afternoon or whatever day, by
our bounty, you allow her as it is for
you? Why should she not rebel against
spending her leisure hours-and in
many cases they r few enough-in a
poorly lighted kitchen surrounded by
the paraphernalia of her work? You
like a CHEEKY room in which to enjoy
books and magazines. Is it not
just possible that you maid, even if
she Is a serving maid, has refined
too, and is anxious to improve
her mind?
Don't be afraid to allow such little
Injuries as a few books or periodicals
to the girls in your employ.
Because a cook has mind and intel
lect enough to enjoy a good book or
the daily papers is no reason why she
should be of less value as a servant.
On the contrary, her mind will be the
broader and she will serve you the bet
ter.
The majority of women who employ
servants are inclined to be severe task
mistresses. They imagine because a
girl works in their kitchen she has no
desire to rise above that. The present
lack of desirable %ervan proves that
girls will not submit to such tyranny.
Consequently, we find them in stores,
shops and mills working a days work

FOR ALTON GIRLS
WHO Reject SUlT0RS,

ALTON. ILL.,, Dec. 9-The "one best bet"
in Alton is that if a man asks a girl to
marry him. she will tell him she will be
a sister. That is. If she is a member of
the Bachelor Girls Club. 1t matters not
if the man be possessed Of wealth beyond
the dreams OF avarice. If he proposes just
row to an Alton bachelor girl" he will
be put on the brotherhood list, tempo
rarily, at least.
The bachelor girls, whose aim in life
is to make men propose, SO they can re-
iect them, have decided to give a silk
dress worth $2oo to the member who can
prove at the leap year ball in January
that she has refused the largest number
Of offers.
If the men do their duty, as expected,
the bachelor girls figure that each will
have at least three new scalps to show
when the contest is decided.

FOR
HACKENSACK
FILIBUSTER
George Il. Vice Captured in
Brazil--M agaIi Band Mem
Der to Be Shot.

HACKENSACK, Dec. 9.-Prayers for
the safe return home of George II.
Vice, one of the hllbustering party of
100 Americans and Canadians, captured
in Minas Geraes, Brazil, were offered
yesterday in the First Presbyterian
Church here. Vice was a member of
the church.
Young Vice was one of many who
answered the advertisements which
Magall, the leader of the flibusters,
inserted in the New York papers a few
months ago. The Brazilian was only
'23. He said he was a coffee planter. and
that he was going into the State OF
Minas Geraes and overpower the small
force of native policemen. He and his
band, he said, would then become the
rulers and would hold the offices and
take title to large grants of land.
Notwithstanding newspaper pub
liclty much ridicule and an arrest for
using the mails for improper purposes,
Magali, in his little furnished room at
1876 West Sixty-first street, New York,
p~ersevered and sailed with his flibust-
ers about November / last. They landed
and on horseback went inland to cap
ture the capital of Minas Geraes, Oura
Preto, a progressive city of $4,000 popu-
lation.
The Brazilian authorities, within two
hundred miles of Rio Janeiro, sur
rounded the party. In a fight several
were killed and wounded OF both sides.
The Americans with their Magali and
his lieutenant, named Gordon, were
captured. Among the Americans were
Vice. Samuel Wilson, Herbert Parker,
Jay Farnecker, Cecil Barker and Her
bert Ricold.
Vice was employed as a clerk in the
Public Service office here up to nve
weeks ago. He is a member OF Com
pany G, N. G. N. j., and Is rs.
His widowed mother went to the
State Department at Washington last
with Captain Frank Rooster TO
learn details of the affair. but she re-
turned home nearly broken-hearted.
Mrs. Vice says her son was deceived
by Magali. Her son told her he was
engaged as a cook to go with Magali-
and several men to guard a mine in
New Mexico. For that reason, young
Vice said, he bought a military uniform
revolver. Before leaving Hacken-
sack Vice told his mother they ex-
pected a long trip overland on horses,
and that 1t might be months before she
would hear from him.
The Brazilian authorities are inclined
to deal severely with the prisoners.
When Magali was captured he avowed
he was a citizen of Mexico and a
revolutionist.
