r. HE plainest of boudoir caps, such
i as that one pictured ere, will
serve to introduce a coterie of others
far more deliberately made. The sub
ject Of boudoir caps is inexhaustible;
they are as varied, almost, as the
faces they so prettily set off. Dain-
tiness is the most lasting of fem
mime charms, and the boudoir cap is
an expression of this.
Displayed in a New York shop are
a half dozen or so styles, that run
the scale from the simplest to the
most elaborate. The first one con-
sists of puff of plain crepe de chine
for the crown, which is gathered over
a circle of wire that fits the head.
Lace, about three inches wide, plated
in narrow side plaitlngs, is sewed in
side the edge of the cap about the
front, extending from one temple to
the other. A second length of the
plated lace is sewed in, extending
from ear to ear. The lace is then
turned back off the face and tackled to
the crown, forming a coronet of lace
about the face.
Where this plating leaves of, a
third length is sewed in the cap and is
left hanging over its neck. A ro-
settle of narrow ribbon is sewed to
each side.
Tae next cap is made of all-over
shadow lace with the pulled crown
shirred over a circle of wire. A
frill of very narrow lace extends about
the front OF the cap. Across the back
there ia q scant frill of wider lace

that is wired with fine wire, to curve
outward from the ears and neck
This smart little affair is trimmed
with a twist of narrow satin ribbon
and occasional clusters of the smallest
chiffon roses set about the face. It
is finished with a rosette of tie
ribbon at each side.
The third cap was made of fine dot
ted swiss and shaped like a baby's
cap. A frill of cluny lace, very scant,
fell about the face, and an insertion
of the same was set in about the
crown. Between the insertion and
the frill a narrow band of ribbon ex-
tended about the cap, ending in long
loops and ends at the left side.
The fanciest and most novel Of caps
in this gay array had pulled crown
of colored silk set in brim of Irish
lace. The lace was wired TO stand out
in four points, one at the front. one
at the back, and one at each side. II
had no trimmings, the richness OF
the lace making this unnecessary.
Many simple caps were shown made
of lowered wolfe and marquisette
They have pulled crowns and shor..
capes of the material and we're
trimmed with lace and little ribbon
roses in several colors. One OF the
prettiest OF all was made of sheer
openwork swiss embroidery for the
pulled crown, and double rufle OF
lace about the face. Satin ribbon two
inches wide was twisted about the
crown and tied in a bow at the front

at the back and gradually grow nal
rover at the sides and front, finally
disappearing at the top fastening Of
the bodice. But they also require wir.
ing with the finest of silk-covered
wire, to give them the sprightly pose
required.
One of the new collars of sheer ba.
tiste finished with fine embroidery is
shown in the picture given here. 1t
is a good example Of a type of collar
which is featured among the new
dress accessories for spring. Equally
strong as a novelty, the new very
high, standing collars (high at the
front as well as the back, attached
or unattached to the blouse, are COM
manding much attention and may
prove the favorites. Just at the mo-
ment the sheer collar, high at the
back and turned over, open at the
throat, is liked finished by a band
of narrow black velvet ribbon which
ties over it around the throat and APP
pears to support it, although fine
wires really do the work.
There Is a lot of wear in the col
lars Of embroidered batiste; they pro-
vide an inexpensive and dainty means
of freshening up the dress.

in one or two cups of flour, enough to
make a thin batter, add salt I'd pour
over the apples. Bake until brown
If the apples are not tart enough add
d squeeze of lemon juice and serve
with sugar and cream or with a hard
sauce.
Apple and Almonds.-Core then
pare nice, well-havored apples, which
will cook well without losing their
shape. Cook in a thin strip until
nearly tender and fill with almonds
which have been blanched and cut
In quarters. Put the almonds sharp
end first into the apples until they look
like little porcupines. Dust with pow
dered sugar and place them in the
strip in a baking pan in the oven to
brown. When the almonds are brown
and the apples well cooked remove,
cool and serve with whipped cream
and sugar. The attractiveness of this
method must be tried to be appreci-
Rted.
Apple Gelatin.-Pare, core and quar-
ter six tart apples, add the yellow rind
Of half lemon, cover with a pint OF
cider, boil anG press through a sieve.
Cover a half-box of gelatin with half
a cupful of cold water and when soft
ened add the Juice of one lemon and
mix all together When nodded

sugar. Grape juice may be used in
place of cider when 1t is not obtain
able or any canned fruit juice may be
used.
Apple Filling for cake.-Grate one
or two good, juicy. well-flavored APP
pies, add a cupful of sugar and the
whites of one or two eggs, depending
upon the amount of apple pulp. Beat
until light and firm, then put between
layers of cake and on top. This filing
may be favored with drop of almond
and two or three of lemon extract.
Cake filed with this mixture keeps
moist for days and Is good to the last
piece.

said to be our greatest American fail
ing in dietetics.
Water should not be iced, but cool
enough to be palatable, either sum-
mer or winter, and the amount each
individual should take depends large
ly on the food eaten. If one eats large
ly of fruit, less water is needed, and If
one drinks much milk, less is required,
but even the very young baby should
be given frequent drinks of cold water.
AS children must suffer with their
teeth, when the little gums are in
famed and swollen, a drink of cool
water will give much relief.
The acids in fruits play an impor-
tant Office in destroying those germs
which create gases and cause autoin-
toxication. Fruit juices act on the
kidneys and quench thirst. At the
same time they are a natural laxa-
tive.
A juicy, good favored apple is bet
ter than medicine, and should be eat
en- many times a day. Scraped apple
may be given to young children.
The reason that fruit is Best eaten
either early or late in the day is that
the stomach is empty and thus the
digestive juices have free access to
the fruit juices, stimulating them to
action.
To keep in good condition, drink
freely of water before retiring, as this
Pushes the system. The first thing in
the morning rinse the stomach with
a good tonic of cold fresh water half
hour at least before eating.
Though fruit contains little nutri-
ton, it has a large amount of cell
lulose which adds bulk to the food and
stimulates the activity Of the juices
on the digestive tract, thus aiding d.
gestion.
