sarily subject for bushes. this passing
along of the duplicate book the EN-
broldered collar two sizes too small, the
colored pictures that ought to go into
some scrap book. the passe valentine
whose usefulness for you is over What
me family chest. and what fairer final
disposition than to pass them on to some
chlidren's ward or charity bazaar?
A reason for the present great showing
OF plaids and checks in black and white
IS that late homecomers from Paris last
autumn tripped down the gangways with
Jalnty costumes in maybe colors, and
that was considered a fOrerunner of
spring, because markedly different from
the then prevailing fashion, As a mat
ter OF fact. the best French houses have
hiodel gown or two III black and white,
very chic and becoming. The American
woman abroad will argue, oh. shep-
herds plaid; | can get that at home,
and so on. until she hears of a model
gown at bargain, and then she buys
Ii at sight. The autumn also is a IA
yorite time for the wary Parisians to
dispose OF their early spring stock. which
they have managed to change slightly
IN appearance by the abolition of q
buckle or bows or by touch Of con-
trastlng color.
The latest term given to dyspepsia,
when it happens to atflict the fashionable
woman IS ''auto-pOisoning." the doctor
explaining carefully that all the patients
food pOisons her and prevents digestion.
Then she, poor soul, diets in very fear
OF her life. No end Of puns are being
made i'll the wealthy set on the name of
the disease and for the pseudo-invalids
to say that they must walk instead of
motor invites more cruel jests. But the
fact remains that the average case
called 'auto-poisoning' is only the old
fashioned dyspepsia, perhaps more viru-
lent because of the rich food that is the
everyday fare of those that can afford
to poison themselves with the good
things of this life.
For a delicious apple salad, boil
peeled and cored whole apples until they
are tender. but not soft Remove them
from the liquor. drain them, put them
on a fat salad plate. top each with
maraschino cherry, sprinkle broken pc
can meats over the apples, put around
! the apples stalks of endive and serve
with mayonnaise acidulated a little
more than usual with lemon juice and
mixed plenJifully with whipper cream.
To boil the apples use about a cupful of
the dish in which they cook. There is a
difference in apples about their keeping
shape after they are tender, but the
sugar helps to make them firm. The
liquor in which they boil may be used
in jelly with gelatine and lemon or other
| fruit Juice or be used with SteWed APP
pies.
One Of the best sleeves, and already
being put into some of the severe shirt
waists, is plain leg-O'-mutton, with
very little fulness at the top, and with
none below. Although there is a plain
shirtWaist cuff, the sleeve is put into it
without gathers. which is 'snappy'' and
corresponds with the long, simple lines
of the accepted models in shrtwaists and
gowns.
An inexpensive and savory dinner
roast may be had from the top round
about three inches thick, the piece
should be. Brown the meat on both
sides in the frying pan with a little
drippings. Then add in the same pan
cry cut in rings. half an onion minced
fine; add little hot water and cook on
the back of the stove all day-do not
boil. but let the meat simmer slowly.
Dutch collars made of the Irish GRO
Chef are now found in many of the
shops. They are exceedingly attractive
and will last q lifetime if moderate care
is taken of them in the laundering.
Indian linen and batiste are used for
some of the smart turbans for southern
wear.
For the very fine slipper whose coft-
ness needs little more than the old-time
stuffing Of crumpled tissue paper, there
is a homemade spreader that will save
the price Of a shoe tree.
Take a pair of long, covered steels,
those that come for boning waist seams.
Cover them with pulled ribbon or silk
and stick one end Of each into tight
ball of cotton, also covered with shirred
ribbon or silk. This ball should be big
enough to fill the vamp of the slipper,
and should be securely sewed to the
steel Finally, it is to be placed in the
sinners toe, after which the other end
of the steel is sprung into the heel.
Pioue is a good, firm material for the
plain, everyday bureau scarf, and it is
most sensible to have some OF these
simplier things for everyday use. 1t is
not necessary for them to be homely,
and the piQue cover is far from that.
II is planned for the exact size OF the
bureau, and is an excellent cover Tor an
antique mahogany bureau with a bowed
front. The back edge is turned under
for an iuch-wide hem, and the front and
ends are buttonholed in long, shallow
scallops with white mercerized cotton or
done in color that harmonizes, with
the room. These covers are Well-mgh
everlasting, and if pique is used on the
bureau it should be repeated on the
washstand and small tables.
Three-quarter-inch white cotton fringe,
with loops instead of cut ends, is used
on several new Paris. gowns, and is
an entirely possible trimming TO the
f. the edge of wide tucks on a linen
scrim gown. and is quite perfect deco
ration for the white French crepe WHICH
is so popular. A line of fringe down the
outside of the sleeve IS pleasing SUI
stitute for the lace frill.
