STREET CLOTHES TAILORED

Plain Goats and Suave Jackets Mark The Divergence

resistible influence is, it has reft our
suits of frill and fancy and left them
for the most part plain creations with
coats medium length and skirts short

In the window of Fifth Avenue
shop, a model of dark blue gabardine
is attracting the gaze of the never
ceasing stream of well-dressed women
who frequent this thoroughfare. Sug-
gestive of a uniform it boldly stands
forth with patch pockets over the
seams, a small one above and a large
one below the broad belt of white
leather that sports black buckle.
The collar, notched in the most ap-
proved manner, is faced with white
broadcloth to match the belt and

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.

There is nothing like self-possession
even when shown where least expect
ed. But why should it excite amuse-
ment when so shown? Nobody
knows, yet such is the fact.
1t is told in Spanish of a philosoph-
ical man who was never known to
be perturbed. Whatever happened,
his comment upon it showed calmness.
One day when away from home his
house caught fire and burnt down and
when people rushed to tell him Of it

exclaim in dismay. But instead of
that he quietly replied, 80 much the

effect is really fetching. There are
other suits, too, with the borders en-
broidered with blue silk floss. Indeed,
variety is endless in these strictly tail
ored suits. Their style is even accen-
tuated by contrast with the silk mod
els cut on semi tailored lines.
Distinctly different in purpose and
appearance, the suits with short Zou-
ave jackets in no wise conflict with
the vogue of the tailored, but are
selected for theater, afternoon and
dress wear. One of New York's most
famous houses has on display an at
tractive model in mouse-gray faille
silk, the coat short and boXy and the
skirt laid in soft pleats. Fine silk
corded motifs in the corners of the
jacket and woven buttons in self-tones
make rich trimming.
The other day in a theater party of
four young girls, who braved the UNI
certain April weather, to wear their
best to the matinee, two had the new
short jacket suits, one a blue tafieta
with silk-covered buttons placed close
together down the closing and the 9TH
er gray silk with frogs of silk
covered cord. In some of the better
shops they are introducing these
short coats in cloth, but taffeta and
faille are used in the great majority
of the models.

A FABLE.

A minister once wished to ascertain
what influence the hard times had
upon his congregation, and said at
the close of his sermon:
Il would ask every one who is still
able to pay his debts to rise from his
seat"
The whole congregation arose with
the exception of one man. The parson
then asked that all who were unable
to meet their bills should rise. There
upon the aforementioned solitary in
dividual got up-a hungry looking,
poorly clad man, whose features re-
vealed the terrible struggle of one
fighting hopelessly against the vicis-
STUDIES of the world.
How is it, my friend, that you are
the only one among all these people
who cannot pay their debts?'
"Sir," answered the man hesitating-
ly, Il am publisher Of newspaper
and those who rose just now are all
my subscribers, and" but the minis
ter interrupted him hastily by saying,

OLD PRIESTS.

Of all men in the world the priest
is the least fitted to carry the burden
of life when he gives up his work. His
education has not qualified him for
any other means of earning a living.
His very vocation, his priesthood
bids him to take up secular work. He
has not the asylum of home to apply
to as the Protestant minister may
have. In some dioceses, if out of a
meager salary he has not been able
to save enough for his old age, he is
beggar who must eat the bitter
bread of charity. This is precisely the
fate facing many American priests.
When the white years gather around
a priest there is little human consola-
ton for him. Too much is expected of
an old priest. When he was young
and strong he willingly acted as archi-
tect, builder, lawyer, teacher, purvey-
or of amusement, social arbiter and
tax collector. He is no longer physic-
ally able for the work. The congrega-
tion clamors for younger man. 1t
is time for the old pastor to retire.
Yes, but retire to what? They forget
he has nothing. They forget that his
premature old age is the result of his
work for them. Long hours in the
confessional, night sick calls in win
ter, fasting often till after the noon
hour, the continual and ceaseless worry
over debt, have brought him where
he is. Let him retire in favor of a
younger man, one up-to-date. He bap-
tized them, shrived them from their
first sin; he prepared them for the
happiest day Of their life; many of
them he united in the bonds of we'd
lock; too frequently it is they who are
first to say the old man should retire.
1t suggests a scene that one time
took place in the court yard of Pom
thus PLATE. One would imagine that
sometimes Catholic people do not
value their priests as much as they do
their army officers. The army officer

STRAWBERRIES.

When making strawberry short
cake it is a great mistake to bake
the pastry all in one cake, as it has
to be cut open while hot and the CEN
ter is apt to be spoiled and its nice
texture destroyed, neither should the
pastry be baked in separate pans and
then laid together with strawberries
filled in between two crisp crusts.
Strawberry Short Cake.
Ingredients: Four cups of nice ripe
berries, one cup of graduated sugar,
one heaping tablespoon of powdered
sugar, two cups of -four, two slightly
rounding teaspoons of baking powder,
one teaspoon of salt, one almost heap
ing tablespoon of lard, and one of
butter, one cup of milk or water.
Pick over and wash the berries
very thoroughly. The better way to
wash the berries is in a wire berry
basket, sousing the basket up and
down in a basin of water, as we'll as
allowing water to run through them.
Sift the flour, baking powder and
salt two or three times. Work in
the lard with a fork. There is no
necessity for putting the fingers into
the pastry. Add the milk, mixing 1t
in with the fork or with spatula by
cutting the dough. If the flour in
use is very strong and dry flour it
may require a tablespoonful or two
more of milk.
Divide into two parts. Roll out
one part about one-half inch thick,
place in a shallow tin and brush well
with melted butter. Roll out the 9TH
er part of dough just like the first
one and place upon it. Brush the
top with either melted butted or with
sweet milk. Bake in medium hot
oven about fifteen or twenty minutes.
Select from the berries dozen per-
feet ones. Sprinkle the balance with
the cup of granulated sugar.
When the pastry is baked a delicate
brown remove from the tins to large
chop plate or platter. With quick
movement of the hand the top can be
turned over onto the tin, revealing a

butter it generously and also the
crumb side of the top. After putting
the berries on the pastry, replace the
top, crust side up, sprinkle with the
powdered sugar through a sitter and
arrange the selected berries over it.
Whipped cream may be used and
the berries arranged for a garnishing
of the top.

During the days of the Mexican rev.
olution against the empire of Maxi
milan, towns occupied by soldiers
were overrun by beggars and thieves.
1t was at the close of the American
Civil War, and many families of con-
federate refugees lived on the Next
can side of the border. One night
such family had gone to bed and all
except one member we're asleep. Pres
emily this member saw burglars arm
protruding from the street into the
room through the iron-railed window
and the hand on the arm was doing
it's best to seize some things on
table near the window. The man of
the house was reused and he rushed to
open the street door and to order the
burglar away. It was bright moon
light night and there was no other
person in sight. The thief was stand
ing near the window through which
he had tried to pilfer. And all he did
when he was called to halt was to
ask with the suavest grace what the
gentleman had said, also to comment
upon the beauty of the night and to
depart with polished Castillian ad-
dress.
People who knew General Magruder
of the American Confederate Army
said that he was delightful to know,
being highly cultivated. But he
was once out-done in self-possession
when he walked into a country dining
room where a meal had been spread
for him and found a hungry tramp
seated at the table eating it up.

The curry sauces are sauces OF al

Be very sure. to secure good brand

it yourself. Some of the curry pow

for the composition of the powder, as
there are nearly a dozen different in

In making curry always first saute
or simmer in small quantity Of oil
or butter, the curry powder which is
to season a sauce or curried dish, as
this brings out the best flavor of the
spices which go into its makeup.
Curry powder is used in the proper

about two level tablespoons of flour
