GRAPEFRUIT AT ITS BEST.

A trained nurse who knows all about
preparing fruits for invalids says that #
is great mistake to serve grapefruit i'm
mediately after opening IT, for in that
way half the delicious favor OF the Juice

To properly prepare grapefruit, It should
be placed on the ice or in some very
cold place for at least twenty-four hours
before eating. Cut it through the center
with a sharp. pointed knife Run the
knife around the edges next 10 the skin,
loosening the fruit from the outer skin.
Remove all pith, and, with the same
sharp knife, cut out the core of the fruit.
so that nothing remains but the pulp.
Cover with powdered sugar and set on
ice for another half hour. It is then
ready 10 serve. The addition OF two or
three maraschino cherries is very tasty.

TO ACHIEVE A FIGURE.

A decided novelty is a new corset which
proposes to support the back by pressure
of two crossed straps inside the back
Of the corsets. the ends OF the straps be-
ing anchored to the front steels on the
outside. Seems almost like the proverbial
lifting ones self by the boot straps, yet
the inventor says that it not only rests
the back. but gives the wearer the very
best new figure" with fat back and
slender hips. Furthermore. that the back
steels can never turn and dig into the
flesh, be the corset laced ever so tightly.
For the sake of suffering womankind, Il
is TO be hoped that this back-resting cor
set may prove to be all that its designer
claims for il.

The fact that the Republicans are

They recognize that a gubernatorial
nomination is far from easy for them,
because OF the curious situation which
has arisen, involving Governor Hughes.
But that there is any chance of this

they will by no means Concede.
