ITALIAN DISHES COOKED AT
HOME.

A MEXICAN housekeepers anxious
~ to keep down the market bills
have learned the advantages of
serving at each dinner one dish con-
tanning some OF the Italian pastes. which
are low in price, nutritious and APP
petizing.
The American way OF cooking spa
ghetti is to combine 1t with American
cheese chopped. butter and a little milk
beaten with eggs. The spaghetti Is
first cooked until it is soft; then drained
Of the water, and the cheese. butter
and eggs already mixed are beaten
lightly into the hot paste. The mixture
is then baked to a golden brown in
the oven. A porcelain lined baking
dish is best, though some prefer the old
fashioned yellow stone ware.
Macaroni cooked and then simmered
In n good meat broth until tender also
mixes well with grated Gruyere cheese
mixed In the baking dish In layers,
finishing off the top with thick layer
of the cheese and some grated bread
crumbs and butter.
Another dish is made by adding this
mixture to the already cooked maca-
roni: One onion, a little parsley and
SIX anchoNles chopped up together.
Fry this in the pan with butter for
about six minutes; then add 1t to the
paste with half Il glass of good white
wine and an equal amount of fish
broth. Sprinkle with paprika and
grated Parmesan cheese.
Here is a simple dish called taglintelle.
Make good paste with -four ana eggs,
roll out thin and cut In strips half an
inch wide; parboil in sailed water. Cut

something that has been specially de-
signed for her. To meet these demands
the most precious family jewels have
been broken up and reset and the craze
Of the moment Is for ornaments copied
exactly from jewels worn by famous
beauties OF olden days. The only thing
which never changes its form Is the
string of pearls, long or short. Indeed
pearl necklaces are more fashionable at
the present moment than they have
ever been.
Yesterday afternoon spent an hour
in the private atelier of one of the most
famous art jewellers in Paris and he
showed me some really exquisite orna-
ments of the latest designs. Some OF the
most attractive of these ornaments were
composed OF cut crystals and sapphlres.
Sapphres are the favorite stones of the
hour--they are even more popular than
diamonds. A superb pendant designed
for Russian grand duchess, was COM
posed OF a single sapphire of great size
trimmed with small diamonds and hang
ing on a chain OF unset brilliants which
looked like long string OF living fire.
Another ornament. designed for the
same parsonage, was a pendant in Per-
sian design which was encrusted with
crystals and which had an enormous
emerald in the centre, raised in such a
way that II seemed to stand alone. Still
another lovely ornament. which had been
ordered by the Duchess of Westminster,
took the form of a broad clasp for the
back of the hair. composed of aquama-
rines and rose diamonds set in platinum.
The design was arranged in curves and
the clasp stood out little from the head
In the fashion demanded by the latest
style of hair dressing.
] have indicated one of the newest
hair ornaments on one OF the heads
sketched this week. This is a quaint
forehead ornament copied exactly from
one worn by Leonardo da Vinci's Belle
Ferroniere." 1t was composed Of thin
string OF diamonds and a plaque OF deep
blue enamel trimmed in the same precious
stones This ornament falls directly on
the forehead and Is full Of artistic grace
and distinction.

! OF next year, in the really up to date
theatres and, above all, in the world of
dress.
l cannot leave the subject OF RUSSIAN
art without adding few words on the
subject of a recent interview given by
Leon Bakst to an English newspaper
on the subject of Dress and the Eng
lish Woman" 1t was a very notable
Interview because In 1t the famous
painter laid great stress on the neces-
slty of studying and understanding In
dlvidual types
He Is of opinion, for example, that
Paris gown in its original outline is
rarely suitable for an English woman;
and he says that this rule applies in
far greater degree to a Paris hat. The
English woman as he sees her Is
stately creature who ought to dress in
the street in we'll cut tailored suits and
who ought almost always to wear a
large hat. He points out the physical
difference between English ami French
women, and Of course goes on to indi-
cate radical differences in character and
temperament.
He added, and with good reason. that
American women are far more adapta-
Bile than their sisters in England. and
that for this reason, and others also. they
wear Paris gowns and hats with ex-
quisite grace. 1t was very interesting
interview and more than little in
structive.
This winter, on subscription nights at
the opera and at private receptions,
have noticed a great change in the fash
ion Of Jewels. Nowadays no woman OF
really cultivated taste dreams of wear
ing ordinary ornaments. The day Of
stereotyped tiaras and necklaces IS
over, and here we again find ourselves
confronted by the spirit of individuality.

DEMOCRACY GREW UP IN THE
WEST.

The great influence In favor OF
democracy in this country has come
from the west. The experience on
the frontier has developed the indi-
vidual enterprise and sense of per-
sonal independence of the pioneers.
The margin of free land on the from
tier has formed an outlet for dfscon-
tent Hence the west has been the
seat OF democratic demands, wise and
unwtse. The mania for cheap money
paper or deprecated silver-had its
home on the frontiers of successive
periods from 1888 to 1896. The popu-
lists had their greatest strength In
the newest regions of the far west.
The demand for tariff reform has come
from the west chiefly and the STAND
patters'' have been the manufacturers
and business men Of the east. Agi-
tation about the trusts has had its
strongest support from the west. -

Into the question of eradicating those
disease bearing pests.
A plan has been worked out bv

chief scout executive This plan nro-
vides for the cooperation or the how
scouts throughout the country with
the state boards of health and the
city boards OF health, or any other
organization that is carrying on an
active campaign against the fly.
Cards bearing the motto Prevent
the Fly" will be sent to the bow
scouts These cards will contain not
only the life-history OF flies and give
a picture Of the damage they do, but
also will contain specific instructions
for the scouts.
First; The scouts Will be urged ITO
swat the fly namely, to kill the old
ones that have lived through the
winter time, or are OF the first brood
of the spring season. Second: they
VIII go scouting for the breeding
places for flies, such az stables. Mig.
stys, garbage cans and the like. for
by cleaning up those places they pre-.
vent the fly. II the breeding place
Is stable, the scout will 90 10 the
owner and viii endeavor to get him
10 sign promise to keep the stable
clean Third: If the scout finds a
garbage can that Is not being taken
care of properly he will report 1t tc
the city authorities. Fourth: If he
finds breeding places that are not
being properly cared for and nc
available means are provided for
cleaning up these places. he and his
companion scouts will undertake the
work themselves.
The plan is to divide IN each city
and town into sections and appoint q
troop to look after that section. AS
a troop has several patrols. the sec
ton will be sub-divided so that each
