pert engineers who have been travelling
on the boats of the Oceanic Steamship

To make it, mix together In q small
bowl one tablespoonful salt, one-haif

and one teaspoonful each mustard and
sugar; have in readiness the yolks of
two eggs and half or whole CUP Of
olive oil that has been chilled on the

mixed condiments and begin beating
with a fork or wooden spoon; then
commence adding the oil, very slow
at first, beating with a fork or Dover
egg beaten. AS the yolks begin to
thicken, the oil may be added more
rapidly, and now the Dover beater is
the thing to use. Keep on adding oil
until the mixture is so stir that the
heater refuses to turn, then thin with

FOR THE EVENING GOWN.
Artificial Flowers and Foliage Used as
Trimming.

The prettiest fashion for many a.
day is the trimming of evening gowns
with artificial flowers and foliage. In
this there Is no combination quite go
effective as that of black blossoms
on white or pale tinted chiffons.
Chiffon roses and trailing buds and
foliage is an art practiced in the ex-
elusive cressmaking shops, but these
are not great deal prettier than the
ribbon roses which often are fash
Toned in the department store and
which may be given the airy chiffon
look of having them made of the in
expensive gauze ribbons. Artificial
roses bought in the millinery depart
ments will apply beautifully to the
edge OF decolletage, even when they
do not come punched or stemmed for
the purpose.
Often a prettier trimming can be
made by exactly matching the flower
In chiffon and punching it up into soft
loops behind each blossom or bunch of
blossoms. 1t can be trailed from one
to another. thus seeming to connect
the floral motifs. Another pretty way
to do Is to back the roses in the same
way with ribbons that matches, either
gauze or the softer satin kinds.
Flower trimmings also can be
bought among the things at the pas
sementerie counters, and among the
lovely things found here are spray
applique trimmings of black velvet
roses and also applications of chenille
In floral designs. Nothing lovelier
than black net gown mounted over
white taffeta and white trimmings OF
black velvet roses can be imagined.
Where one cannot afford these gor-
geous jet and velvet trimmings a
pretty substitute can be made with an
ordinarily good piece of Jet passemen-
terie by intermixing and outlining It
with narrow black ribbon.
For instance, q plain black chiffon
low cut waist may be finished with
one of the ready made berthes OF
spangled or jetted net. The pattern
on this may be outlined with the mar
row black velvet, and the whole berthe
may be edged with it. Add to this a
couple of strands Of narrow black
velvet over each shoulder and a skele-
ton girdle made in the same wav
Also II the berthe has deep indenta-
ton carry a double row Of the velvet
ribbon underneath from one point %

Worthy Russian. In Want.

The future historian Of the Russian
revolution will find the advertising
columns of the st. Petersburg or Mos.
COW newspapers in 1906 a rich source
of information as to actual social con-
ditions. Thus the daughter of noble
man advertises that: Robbers have
killed my parents and stolen every
thing. / am an honest girl; Will not
some rich family adopt me or let me
do household work or nursing?" Many
want" advertisements begin: Il come
from the starving province" The ap-
peals for immediate aid are incessant:
Il have expended my last penny for
this advertisement" begins one an
nouncement, which makes one wish
that there were st. Petersburg Char
ity Organization society to respond.
That many others of similar char
acter come from respectable women
genuinely in need of immediate aid is
vouched for by German observer.
The terrible crisis of the last year or
two has evidently reduced many
worthy men and women to absolute
want and despair.

There are three kinds of cooking

first is no cooking at all; it is only
spelling good material; it is simply

neutral sort is the kind where per-

bet for the empire. The government
has had in mind for some time the
substitution of the Latin alphabet for
the clumsy and uncertain Chinese
characters which have been In use
since time immemorial, but without
waiting for government sanction, lead
ing men in the empire have been
pushing forward q movement for this
substitution which is taking a deep
hold upon the people. The Latin al
phabet which we and most of the Eu-
ropean nations use is in reality an
Irish alphabet, says the National Trib-
une. 1t is based upon the writing Of
the Irish monks in the early centuries,
and which was so clear and beautiful
that 1t rapidly gained popularity over
the Grabbed and laborious characters
used by the monks in other countries
in the transcription of manuscripts. 1t
will be greatly to the advantage of
the world to adopt this Irish-Latin al
phabet and make it universal, and at
the same time giving every letter q
certain and Interchangeable value.

The family living outside of the lar

there are plenty of apartment houses

with children to rent an apartment at
any price; and there are others where
children, while not excluded, are made
very unwelcome. But in the wide

Nothing is more economical In wall
decoration than dado. AS the lower
part of the walls become soiled more
quickly than the upper, room can
often be freshened simply by removing
the dado without touching the upper
walls. Another advantage of the dado
is that it gives a room comfortable
and furnished appearance without the
addition of lot of furniture. This IS

where there is lot of space that needs
