Excellent Substitute.

In the good old days which poets
praise there were in the average viii
lage few bathtubs and not many cal
endars. But the absence of the for
mer made up in a measure for the
paucity of the latter. Any prominent
citizen going home in the evening and
noticing the residence of one of our
first families trembling like the failed
aspen, would readily recognize the
symptoms. He would know beyond
the peradventure of doubt that the
time was Saturday night and the

or shipOwner, but after a humble COT

thing but a stew
In dressing a rabbit there is a
little secret that will remove the
gamy' odor which is so Objectionable
to some. 1t is to remove the thin
membrane which extends from the

with salt, pepper and plenty OF butter,

Cost of Dress in DAYS of Old.

We have wandered away from the
old plan Of making gowns last for
generations; but, then, the brocades
were simply everlasting, says fash

mand of our clothes that they should
serve from season to season; we can
have no standbys. We read in the
chronicles of old families of some rich
dresses lasting lifetime and de-
scending to a daughter Elizabeth,
the virgin queen, introduced much ex-
travagance in costume which the
chroniclers did not forget and rather
amplified. But none of the Stuart
