and are the night finish for the long sleev-
ed coats.
The motor wells are very long and
in the superb colors of the season. the
dull wistaria shades going with every
thing. They will be much used for travel
ing and If not drawn over the face Of
the long ends will come round and tie
in the motor bow under the chin.
These wells are most fascinating on a
graceful and pretty woman. and are good
protectors for the fruit and foliage trim

AS to the travellers endorsements
the woman who prefers to get this part
of her wardrobe ready made will find
the spun silk petticoat with taffeta bot
tom an admirable choice. The dust colors
and sweet-gum browns are the most serv-
iceable colors for the petticoat. OF course,
every woman knows that silk sheds the
dust more readily than cotton.
Petticoats which wash and yet always
look new may be made of singham or
calico. and If the gown and coat colors
are considered when the petticoat color
is selected the effect when the skirt is
lifted is always good.
And now, with these little hints for
you to go by, word for the week s

TRAVELLING CONvENIENCES.

HE best of the travelling con-
veniences in Paris come from
London. That is, where trunks,
bags and hat boxes are con-
cerned; for Scotland sends the
most beautiful wool rugs, and the Pa
risian idea for underwear is the most
sensible and modest in the world-fancy
nightdresses, chemises, pantaloons. ETC.,
of dun colored pongee or black china
silk. and yet all adorably lovely.
These charming and carefully made
garments take up little room. all are
easily washed. and all cool and proper
for sleeping car and steamer wear.
Suppose there is wreck" says the
splendidly coiffed dame who shows them
dsgracefully dead in a white night
dress. And you do not need those fright
fully big trunks-Saratogas."
Concerning big trunks, why is not
every American woman told that ex-
cess of weight means extra charges on
every railroad in Europe The foolish
traveller. hampered with one of these
trunk houses, must live down as well
as up to it. She pays everywhere big
ger fees than the woman with a mod
est-sized box. and Is numerically
quiZzed in Paris besides.
The English boxes. which are widely
sold here. are of under rather than over
size. Yet all are so carefully made
that they seem to hold a good deal
Black or dark brown are colors ad-
mired, and the dress box has from four
TO six tape-bottomed trays. When the
gowns or bodiceS are put in other tapes
tie over them. and delicate fabrics are
further protected by layer Of tissue
paper. The willow hampers. which the
French have taken up and trimmed as
their own, are best with round tops and
oi1cloth covers The round top keeps
the baggage smasher-a vigorous person
everywhere-from putting heavy weights
on top of the fragile baskets, and the
leather absolutely insures protection
from rain.
Some smart French trunks, which are
too chic TO be vulgar, have oiled leather
covers in dull red and almost invisible
blue and green. Brass nails and leather
bands trim these handsomely.
The dressing cases of English manu-
facture are very swagger. Though far
smaller. some of these are designed
after the style Of the American suit
of the smart English traveller herself.
One article de Londres." as the case
was ticketed in French shop. was of
black patent leather with crystal bot
ties stoppered with gilt. This held every
convenience for toilet articles. as well
as the inevitable bottle for smelling
salts.
Hat boxes, as is natural, are enor-
mously big. The hats are still skew
cred with pins to the props inside. and

initiate the railroad label to T. In
truth. TO be entirely smart all Of ones
travelling boxes must be literally show
cred with labels.
Several of the French shops are using
Mr. Roosevelt and his African trip TO
advertise their wares. One shop calls
TO the belle Americaine' TO consider
its laprobes and steamer rugs before
any others: the Roosevelt tiger skin. ;.
..the black bear" lie petit Teddy blan-
ket''-so runs the announcement. But
investigation shows that these so-called
skins are of silk. cleverly marked and
dyed. and of delightful lightness OF
weight.

Will Freak Millinery Liver

P,umes are playing a larger part in
the spring hat than was at first antici-
pated, possibly because they are such
coed "fllers' and they soften the hard
outlines of the straw hat. But flowers
and foliage. fruits and vegetables are
rampant, trailing over every inch of
outside space. Some that one meets on
the streets look for all the world like
replicas of liberty bells swathed in
trailing glory of vines and flowers. Others
look like veritable peach baskets, with
choice fruits and vegetables oozing
through the Stats in a final effort to get
just one more chance at the sunshine and
one more blush upon the cheek
Surely these things will not live. 1t
would suggest that every day Is Me-
mortal day and that the feminine portion
of humanity is in procession for the GEM
etery, carrying the floral designs on their
heads. And It's no use for a woman to
strive for brilliant soft eyes and q tiptilt-
ed chin if she is to be weighted down
with the whole output of the flora and
fauna kingdoms. to say nothing OF a
topping framework of false hair to hold
these creations steady against the ele-
ments.
The cuirass is a bodice that fits the
figure closely. but that does not suggest
any construction of the waist. 1t is car
ried down beneath the natural waist line
straight and still closely fitting, to the
edges of which is added q skirt.

am told that womens clubs do lot

do some good no one will deny, buf that
is all out of proportion to the time they
waste. AS for the fights they engender,
the least said the better.
I can tell typical clubwoman mile

there's no sense in her doing so because
there Is no object. Besides. women We're

In the May number of the Ladies Home
Journal there is an arraignment OF Wom-
ems clubs It is SO pertinent that | want
to call your attention to 1t. In one town
where women.s clubs flourished these con-
ditions prevailed: The schoolhouses had
notoriously poor ventilation. The worst
kind of billboards disgraced the streets
There was no shrubbery to speak OF

stands, covered with dust, sold candies
and stale fruit to children. Filthy foun-

Now, this may be overdrawn. but 1t
seems to me there's great deal of truth
In 1t.
The one greatest good the woman's
club is doing seems to be to afford a
fighting ground for old ladies who other
wise would do 1t at home.
That is noble, but not sufficient.

CASSEROLE COOKERY.

CASSEROLE cookery is a term which
has grown up OF late years with
the increasing popularity of the
French fireproof earthenware utensils and
signifies dishes cooked and served In the
same earthehHare pan, though the French
word is the generic name for a saucepan.
The casserole is adapted for almost
every kind OF cookery. and its use makes
for economy In time and labor. II is
too tough for ordinary cooking become
perfectly tender. nutritious and tempting
when cooked In this way
Fireproof ware is inexpensive. and IL
the following suggestions are acted upon
it is more economical than the ordinary
pots and pans:
Never put casserole down roughly
on metal surface. especially If it is full
or partly full Never leave it empty on
use for the first time .shaH ffi it with warm
water place it on a, slow fire and grad
ually increase the heat; in fact. in cook
ing with casserole it is always advisable
to begin with gentle heat and gradually
increase this, even in the preliminary fry
ing. So important has casserole cookery
become that plated stands have been in
troduced for handing round the marmites.
caSserOles of various sizes. gratin dishes,
souffle and ramakin cases. etc. AS these
dishes are glazed inside it is the easiest
thing in the world TO wash them. for
there are no creviceS In which dirt can
possibly remain.
Pot au Feu.-Take four to five pounds
of fresh beef, tie it neatly into shape and
put II into a soup pot or marmite with a
piece Of butter the size of hazel nut and
just fry 1t lightly. then add three quarts
of water, dessertspoonful of salt two
bay leaves and twelve peppercorns. tying
the bay leaves and peppercorns up in a
muslin bag; bring this all very gently
just to the boil. but just before ii actually
reaches boiling point throw in spoonful
of cold water to check the boil and bring
the scum to the surface, remove this and
repeat the process two or three times till
no more scum rises; then draw the pan
to one side and simmer gently for three
or four hours. After it has been cooking
for about an hour add three or four leeks
a bunch of parsley two sliced carrots and
half head of celery, putting these vege-
cooked. lift out the meat and vegetables.
remove any fat there may be and serve I'm
the pot in which 1t was cooked. If the
vegetables are not put into bag the soup
will have to be strained
Fowl Pot Roast.-Truss the fowl as for
roasting, placing the liver. with piece OF
butter and seasoning to taste. inside the
bird; then place 1t breast downward in a
casserole with half a pint of water and
some butter or dripping and a little ba-
con- cover and leave the bird to cook
gently for an hour, then turn 1t. add more
fat or dripping and wineglassful OF
wine cover with a buttered paper, close
down and place the casserole in the oven
with top and bottom heat and let IL cook
till the bird is nicely Drowned. Lift out
the bird, joint 1t neatly. skim Off all the
fat from the gravy. put back the fowl,

the stylish coat. which must be protecting
to the rest of the get-up and vet present
a jaunty aspect. Then come the well fit
ting dress. which the coat shields and
smartens: the hat. neckixings, gloves,
veil. boots and underwear.
For the travelling coat there is a vast
number of styles to choose from, and in
almost every instance the manufactured
garment is in good cut. So If coatmakng
is not easy to the home sewer. let
her look solely to her gown and leave
this important overgarment to the wis
dom of the shop. Study your type care
fully when buying a coat. and remember
that though a loose coat Is recommended
for q slim figure, it will also make
stout one appear more slender. The most
fashionable coat of the moment is with
out sleeves. and such a model, which
reaches to the hips or knees. is generally
loose and becoming to both stout and
slim.
Mole gray is smart color for sleeved
coats, and such practical garments are
made in every material hitherto employ

best of all of the train coats not treated
to a rubber finish are frequently used
for travelling. though. if you prefer such
garment look for a material that does
not crush too easily for there is nothing
uglier than crumpled wrap.
Pongee and foulard are par excellence
the textures for gowns, as good qualities
in these materials are uncrushable and
both are impervious to dust. Trimmings
for all garments accord. of course, with
materials and cut. and 1t is better al

Cincinnati, Apr, 22. Mrs. John Mul.

one Monday and another on Tuesday,
saying that II she did not leave $500
at a certain spot her son would be
kidnapped. Leo attends the st, Peters
cathedral parochial school and left
home yesterday morning for school.
He did not arrive there and when he
failed to return home for his MONDAY
meal his mother was worried. Inquiry
at the school developed the fact that
the boy had not been there. Leo told
his mother Saturday that two men had
grabbed him and tried to compel him
to go with them, and this, together
with the receipt Of the letters and the
disappearance of the boy leads to the
belief that the threat has been carried
out Yesterday Mrs, MuIhern re-.
