Sllken Walstcoats.

Waistcoats are much in evidence
Some are long and narrow, others
quite wide and no more apparent
than a mans waistcoat worn with the
morning cutaway coat.
These waistcoats, like the braided
coats. are mostly to be seen in BEN
gaines, silk crepons and other silken
fabrics. The classical tailor-made Is
at its newest in Violet, green or white
serge in thick diagonal rib. It's con
struction is rather curious, for al
though there are no draperies tho
skirts are 30 cut about in strangely
shaped points and squares that the
result is slightly puzzling.
Anyhow, the effect is quite interest
ing, and, what is the chief point, 1t ia
very new and very difficult for indif'
ferent workmen to copy successfully.
For this reason 1t will have certain
popularity.

tically complaining about the world
in general, or excusing her mussed
blouse or rakish style of her hat.
She simply makes US swallow air
and we sigh with relief when she goes
to find another victim.
1t is both tiresome and annoying to
sit beside the woman in church who
is not able to cencentrat her mind.
She Is either clearing her throat, pull
ing at her gloves or dropping the hymn
nal.
Then there is the girl at the theater
who must nibble bon bons one minute
and powder her nose the next. She
not only disturbs others, but uses up
her energy and strength uselessly.
Repose of manner Is more often
found in the woman who has passed
twenty-five. That is why some men
prefer her to the giggling miss in her
teens.
If you are talking with anyone who
constantly fidgets her hands or witch
es her mouth you may find yourself do
ing the same thing. 1t is very dis
concerning to say the least
If you study women's faces In the
trolley cars you will find that eight
out of every ten bite their lips or make
faces.
All that some girls need to make
them attractive and good looking is
poise. The older one grows the more
essential it is to take things calmly
Poise is synonymous with good
breeding. An excellent plan to help
yourself acquire it is to go into quiet
room by yourself each day for at least
twenty minutes and relax, not only
your body, but your mind as well.
After you possess this necessary
quality it will become part of you and
you will not mar your health and
beauty by unnecessary distortions of
the face and body.

HOW TO PREPARE VEAL HASH
Even Those Not Ordinarily Fond Of
Such Connections viii Appre-
ciate This Recipe.

Take teacup of boiling water In
q saucepan and mix in an even tea
spoon of -four wet with a teaspoon
of cold water, and let 1t boil five min
utes; then add not quite half a tea
spoon of black pepper, as much' salt
and two great spoons Of butter, and
set it where 1t will keep hot but not
boil.
Chop the veal very fine and mix
with it while chopping half as much
stale bread crumbs; put 1t in tin
pan and pour the gravy onto 1t; let
It heat on a stove ten minutes.
Toast some bread and cut 1t Into
triangular pieces and lay 1t on the
bottom of a dish. Spread the hash
over and pour on the gravy Cut
slices of lemon to lay on the top and
around the edge Of the plates.
If you like seasoning of sweet
herbs with this hash the best way
is to tie some in a rag and boil 1t In
the water of the gravy when you first
mix it.

Hewara Of Wnod

The origins of the Futurist and
Cubist schools OF sculpture have not
been inquired into closely enough.
None has thought yet to connect these
artistic experimenters with those
sturdy hewers who evolved the arche-
type, the wooden cigarstore Indian,
or, by way of variation, Turk. Move
the calendar on six hundred years;
would any expert authority, coming
upon the carved head of Mile. Pogany
and one of the hewn Indian tribe in
the ruins of New York, deny that they
had come from the same hand?
Pure inspiration suggest the con-
nection. Let another follow the clew.
This is simply to note one cigar store
Indian on the Bowery, the work Of an
original genius. The figure of the In
dian is of the familiar school, and
the coloring without distinction. But
in the Indians hands the workman
placed cleverly a real old tiint-lock
musket The ancient weapon, after
all the vicissitudes of Bowery life, is
still in excellent condition.-Harper's
Weekly.

catsup 80 far located. 1t seems to be
used chiefly to serve with fish: Mix

paprika or cayenne or a few drops OF
tabasco or Worcestershire sauce.
Moisten with the juice Of all the lem
ons and boil gently for half an hour,
then pour into bottles and cork. Let
stand for month, then strain and
use, when 1t will be found very strong
and fine favored.

USEFUL IN THE HOT WEATHER
Pretty Cake Cover, Easy to Make
and That May Be Washed o
Often as Desired.

A very pretty and useful cover Tor
cakes and other food can be made
by covering a frame made from the
whalebone substitute used In dresses
with net. Take two pieces OF the
stiffening material as long as may be
necessary to make cover Of the de-
sired size Stitch them together to
form two circles and connect them
with cross pieces. For use on the
table cover the frame with prettily
figured but strong net. For the lar
der use strong muslin. For handle
sew large glass button in the center
of the top. Nothing should be used
in these covers that will not stand
washing, for which reason wire VIII
not do for the frame. To wash them
1t is only necessary to plunge them
In warm suds, let them soak few
minutes, shake them up and down In
the water, remove and dry. They
are particularly useful In summer
when the most careful screening
fails to keep out all the flies, or when
one wants to have tea on the lawn,
but they are valuable at all seasons

WERE ALL ONE TO HIM
HORACE GREELEY NOT PARTlcU.
LAR AS TO FOODS HE ATE.
Amusing Stories Told by the Late
WhiteIaw Reid Concerning the
Eceentriclties Of His Famous
Chief at Table.

Several of the anecdotes that our
late ambassador to England, Whitelaw
Reid, used to relate of Horace Cree
ley, his old chief on the Tribune, have
recently been going the rounds of the
press. Most of them refer to his Pc
culiarities in the office; a few to those
he displayed In company, especially at
table, where his Observation-Disclosures
and his queer theories combined to
produce unexpected results.
Once, when he was to take supper
with daughter of Nathaniel Willis
she arranged the meal especially to
suit his ideas. 1t was simple, and
there we're plenty of the graham things
that he advocated 80 ardently. But
lest her own family should rebel, there.
were also hot rolls upon the table. Mr..
Greeleys eye fastened upon them at
once, and ignoring the graham gems
conveniently at hand, he reached for
a hot ROLAND then for another. AS
he began on third, his hostess re-
marked that she was delighted to see
that he liked her rolls, but that she
had thought he did not eat such things.
Fanny, do you always practice what
you preach?" was the unperturbed re-
joinder; and he made his entire meal
off the delicious but indigestible rolls
that his own decree had banished from
the Greeley home-leaving scant few
for his table companions, who had to
exc out their supper with the unde-
sired gems.
But If he was funny when he knew
what he ate, he was funnier when he
did not-as in the famous episode OF
the crullers, which occurred at the
table of his boarding house. When the
crullers were passed to him, instead
Of taking a single cruller he accepted
the entire basket and absently placed
1t in his lap as he continued his dis
course. Presently, vaguely aware OF
something there, his hand wandered
downward and encountered cruller.
This he mechanically grasped and
raised to his mouth. Quite unaware
Of what he was doing, he ate and
talked, and talked and ate; cruller
after cruller disappeared until the bas-
ket was empty. The company were
convulsed with suppressed merriment;
one or two had to leave the table, to
have their laugh out in the hall.
But the kindly landlady, distressed
on account of possible results, remem-
bered having heard that the best anti
dote to indigestion was cheese. Quietly
removing the empty cake basket from
Mr.. Greeley's lap, she put in it's place
a plate of cheese, trusting to Provi-
dence that his habituated hand would
continue its action. 1t did. His talk
flowed on, but his fingers found the
cheese, and 1t. too, disappeared to the
last crumb.
"Those who saw the sight," 1t is
declared, were firm In the belief that
Mr.. Greeley did not know he had eaten
anything that evening."-Youth's Com
panion.

To Bone Fish.

To remove bones from either fresh
or salt fish, while raw, take the head
less fish in the left hand, split down
the back; with the right thumb care
fully push the meat from the flesh
side of the backbone, then gently
force the thumb between the back
bone and the skin of the fish from
head to tail; now gently pull sideways
and the ribs adhering to the back
bone will come out with it. All the
remaining bones can be removed by
catching them between the thumb
and the sharp blade of a knife. If
the fish are salt they must be fresh
ened before being boned.

Baekers Of Brook Farm.

The men who organized Brook
Farm" and made a community of it,
in 1841, were Charles A. Dana, George
Ripley, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theo-
dore Parker, Nathaniel Hawthorne,
George William Curtis and DR.. Ellery
Charming. Margaret Fuller was also
interested in the experiment.
1t turned out to be failure, because
enough was not earned to support it.
1t was located at West Roxbury, Mass.
This community was organized ito
substitute a system of brotherly CO.
operation for one Of selfish competi-
ton" Each member Of the community
had to work a certain number OF
hours each day for the common good.
The property was equally divided, and
the products of the land were sold.

s.ptIc.mla, Not tuberculosis.

tuberculosis germs, like all other
germs, are not infectious until their
habitat becomes putrid from oxygen
starvation, and the disease they then
can transmit is the one known to the
profession as septic infection or sep
ticemia, and not tuberculosis.
Cattle nor man can be on foot when
septicemic fever is once developed,
and cattle must be in this state be-
fore their meat can be said to be in
fictitious, and then the infection is not
of a tuberculous character, but strict
ly of a putrescent character.-Stufed
