Old Gowns Made Over,

Wonders can be worked by doing
over old frocks with black net dra-
peries. The bodi e of an old satin
foundation can be treated to a simple
fichu of the net with hanging angel
sleeve, and the skirt hung with
straight lengths gathered in slightly
under the belt. with an opening at the
middle front that slants off toward the
back
At the hem of the gown the net is
laid with some fulness around the
skirt A charming French gown in
which this idea was elaborated In

About PaprIka.

Now that paprika is being so much
used 1t is apropos to pass on hint
given by a man who is a connoisseur.
He says paprika should be spread out
on paper and left in the sun for
three days, which brings out its true
flavor. making it far more appetizing.
Nearly all cooks are now using it in
French dressing. A bit sprinkled on
cream cheese Is delicious In brown
bread sandwiches; and what could be
nicer than mealy baked potato. that
has been broken open enough to put
inside big lump of butter and gen.
erous sprinkling of paprika. all so
quickly done that 1t is-must be-
served piping hot.

old sailors he has had stirring

took possession of the island after the
convention of 1878, and remained in
charge until the arrival of Lord Wolse-
