When 1t was announced in Paris that
fashion leaders had sanctioned the re-
vival of sashes every girl who had an
heirloom in the shape of an old en-
broidered sash congratulated herself,
but, alas, while we are to have sashes
it is with a difference" The new
sashes fasten snugly around the waist
while the sash ends fall in all sorts
of elaborate bows and folds. Some
sashes are cut with double streamers
like the one in the picture, which is
of Powered ribbon and lace fringed
with silk tassels.
The new sash is quite as intricate
as the jabot and needs the same train
ed hand to give 1t the proper finish.
Sash and girdle arrangements are Of
many kinds. Big bows and long. wide
scarf ends OF black malines appear on
some of the light hued models. The
new velvet with taffeta back in color
is effectively used for sash effects, q
wide end in two loops lying fiat, one
over the other, but Of different lengths,
being q popular method of using the
velvet ribbon or satin. This gives
much the effect Of the detached skirt
panel and breaks the tight skirt line in
the back without introducing any odd

Perhaps the most difficult Of all wild

addition to being very rare, CRATES are
exceedingly timid and are very swift
footed. There is no special way to
capture q giraffe, as almost every way
has been tried, and all have been al
most equally unsuccessful. The meth
cd which has occasionally resulted in
a capture is by using a long cord, at
each end of which is a round weight.
This cord Is thrown by the hunter In

This woman has four vigorous, heaHhty mischievOus children, two

Lobster Novelties.

The hostess who is tired of plain
lobster salad. lobster farci DIT lobster
Newburg will find a pleasant change
In lobster cocktail as a first course,
in fried lobster for a fish course and
In creamed lobster on toast as main
dish for a family lunch as well as q
fish course.
For the cocktail cut the meat Of boil
ed lobster into good sized pieces-about
half the size of an oyster-and serve
in q sauce made of a tablespoonful
each Of Worcestershire sauce, tomato
ketchup and lemon juice, favored high
ly with cayenne, a drop or two Of ia
basco, salt and a teaspoonful of fresh
grated horseradish. .
Mix the lobster in this auc and let
it stand on the ice until well chilled.
Serve In glasses like the oyster cock
tail. Instead of the ketchup a pleasant
change is made by using chill sauce
or Oscar sauce IN the dressing.
Cut as big and shapely pieces as you
can get for the fried lobster, which is
first boiled. Dip in eggs and bread
crumbs, fry in boiling fat Just before
serving and drain on brown paper.
Serve with a h~ollandaise sauce. to
which are added chopped olives and a
little onion Juice, or with a lux tar
tare mixed with fresh peas.
Dice boiled lobster that Is to be serv-
ed on toast and marinate In a little
lemon Juice for a few minutes. In the

q"
Cookery
Points
"
Giving a Luncheon.

An important point to remember al
ways In entertaining is that it is not
nearly as important to serve many
courses or much in each course as to
serve everything very prettily and take
Infinite pains in the garnishing of the
different dishes and the way that they
are passed and served.
Here Is a suitable menu: Grape
fruit cut In halves, the fruit scooped
out carefully, the tough membrane and
seeds removed and the fruit favored
with lemon juice and powdered sugar
and a little maraschino, II you wish,
and put back into the halves with q
few candled cherries used for decora-
ton on top Of each half. This course
should be ice cold, and each half should
rest on a plate with a dolly and be
eaten with an orange spoon or tea
spoon.
For a second course have bouiIlon in
cups, but do not have croutons; they
are not en- regle at a luncheon. 1t
would be superfuous to have the orange
Juice, oysters and bouillon. Orange
Juice by itself would be rather an IN
usual course, and 1t would not be ad-
visable, and oysters on the half shell
are seldom seen now at a luncheon.
The grapefruit will not cost any
more than the other two courses and
is exactly the thing for the first course.
Dreamed salmon In ramekins served
individually Will be correct for the fish
and third course, and brown bread
sandwiches, the bread cut very thin
and the sandwiches in fancy shapes,
will be a good addition.
Halves of broiled chicken served on
toast with currant jelly, potato GRO
quotes and green peas or French
string beans will be all right for the
substantial course, but it would not
do at all to have chops afterward.
Omit that course altogether; the birds
are enough for the meat ourse
Roman punch may come after the
birds, served individually in punch
glasses or ice molds. Waldorf salad
served In apples, with cream cheese,
heated crackers and barbecue jelly
will make a good salad curse. Do
not pass olives with 1t. If they are
served they should be a separate
course, coming between the bouillon
and fish. They should be passed with
radishes, celery stalks and salted nuts.
Strawberry shortcake would Be a
better dessert than ice cream, or you
might serve a frozen pudding with 4
sauce IL you prefer it to strawberry
shortcake. As a final cours have bon
bons and fruit and serve coffee In
demitasses in the parlor after lunch
con.
Chocolate passed in cups with whip
ped cream on top would be CORRECT
II 1t is liked. The chocolate cups
and aucer should be removed when
the table is cleared for dessert. II
an additional course is desired have
between the FISH and fowl fried sweet
breads with green peas and have some
other vegetable with the birds.
The oyster fork may be put on the
oyster plate or at the left Of the '
at the head Of the other forks, put a
little slanung, or laid regularly by the
forks. The knives are always put on
the right of the cover With the menu
given above you will need only n
knife for the birds and a small silver
knife for THE salad course. for the
cheese and barbecue. Have the table
p~rettily decorated with spring flowers
and bonbons ard decorations to match.
