A IlooU of UrrM Uovlicil for Titetlfftt
Women.
As nil things must bo guided by laws , so
ress has now a book of Inexorable rules.
In reference to the treatment of bones
nd flesh , the seventh verse of the nine-
ecnth pa go of the nook of Ureas reads :
It you are ahort and fat your walking
gown must be plain and simple , and of a
allor finish. A short loose-fronted jacket
nd gored skirt Is advised as a good modeler
or too plump maids and young matrons. "
"In length , " says the book , "tho Jacket
hould come only a hand's limit below the
valst line ninl It Is best double-breastcJ ;
nice nay to finish the tall-back Is to lay
t In four Inturnlng plaits , tuo at each
Ide , as the ripple tails aru only becoming
o slight figures. "
Havers of box coat smallness and sleeves ,
he glgct model , which hangs at the top
n a full , drooping puff , and fits the forearm
rlth glove amigness.
The seams of the skirt , which should bo
icltlier too full or too stiffened , must run
tralght from hem to belt.
Directions for draping thlu damsels ( page

hough thin ladles arc warned never to let
heir stripes run up and doun.
"If , " says the book , "you are of a tall and
Tieager build a sort of human bean pole ,
PLAIN BODICE.
ono Bathers stripes of both bodice and skirt
should run round , those of the skirt meeting
n front as a bias seam In u slight V. "
The bodice Is much Improved when liber
ally trimmed. If the gown Is a visiting
ollct of china silk , say In wide alternate
stripes of checked brown and white , and
luted rosebuds on a white ground , a bag
vest of spangled batiste , velvet collar anil
belt , and embroidered batiste rovers , make
appropriate trimmings.
A CIIAHMIXQ MANTLE.
Bcru batiste , by the way , plain or om-
jroldered , or may bo spangled or Jetted , is
low the swell garniture for your dress-up
jody. There It Is most seen , but a dashing
capo lately discovered on Fifth avenue had
eng scarf fronts In alternate strips of
jlaelc satin ribbon and embroidered batiste.
This cape , which forms part of the black
satin visiting toilet. Illustrated , begins with
a short ripple flounce sewed to a yoke ; satin
do Lyons Is the material , and the Ilounce
ias a tailor finish of stitching all round.
Over the yoke falls a second capo like a
deep flared collar of black chiffon , crimped
and sowed on In puffs.
The high throat ruclio Is also black cblf-
Fen , the coquettish bow In front being of
the embroidered batiste , which , at the bottom
tom of the scarf , ends in a ball fringe.
The longer darker fringes are of Jet , and the
stylish vlslto Is lined throughout with white
silk.

The other gowns shown are from two late
iml elegant models for street and outing
vear. The outing frock , a Itouff confec-
: lon that may t recognized by Its tunic-
Ike bodice , .Is of dark blue. English serge ,
with an under waist of Saye linen perforated
n daisy pattern over pale art green silk ,
riils may seem bizarre to read about , but
t has an enchanting combination.
As can be seen In the design , white stlch-
Ing forms a scroll outlining for the serge
skirt and neck and sides of the tunic portions
tions of the bodice ; the big sleeves are of
the perforated linen , which , at the throat ,
makes way for a chemisette effect of the
lalnty green lining here laid In round care-
ess folds. The rolled belt Is also of the
art green silk , and the flared skirt Is made
: o rustle smartly with a lining of green
taffeta.
A chic rig ! and the best part of It Is that
it could easily be copied at home.
A THREAT OP HOOPS.
The last costume seems to point toward
the coming of the wicked and much dreaded
hoops. Inasmuch as tha skirt Is boldly and
Imprudently held out with no less than three
wire braids ! Dressmakers who have hearts
In their bodies and brains In their heads
tell us that very much stiffened and wired
skirts are no longer the thing ; yet every now
and then ono of these cage-liko structures
will be foisted upon us.
Who makes them ?
Men of course. So the whole race ot
man must take the consequences. We , the
women , look at them with terror , buy them
with joy , and with aching backs and long
doctors' bills repent them In sack-cloth and
ashes.
U was the ghost of Worth that Inspired
this costume , which came from Paris but
a few wMks ago , and Is a street toilet In
palD brown crepon and palm-leaf silk.
The naughty wire braids , aforementioned ,
are placed six Inches apart In the bottom
ot the skirt , which la cf ten gores , and
has the plainness at present so desired.
Trimmed and draped wool skirts are still
seen occasionally on our country cousins , and
on people not up to snult and skirts , but

Don't be discouraged , however , ns the very

which also outlines the folds of the bias
girdle that la sewed at the left In the
umler-arm seam , the other end nicotine
there , after girdling the body , peasant waist
fashion. In n puffed Rlilrrlng.
A bodice a shade less partyflcd , but none
the less ravishing , Is realized In white china
silk scattering with the pale ghosts of vie
lets. It has a curious collar and long cuffs
that may be noticed In the design ; this unique
garniture Is white organdie , cut In swirl
panel pieces nnd edged with yellow Valenci
ennes. The pieces overlap at the threat ,
continuing over the collar band In an un
broken line , giving the effect of a cape collar
separate from the bodice.

Don't wear a Dutch bonnet simply because
It Is fashionable. Don't part your hair In
the middle , unless you have the profile of
hair In a Slstlne Madonna. Don't , If you
have a sillow skin , comb your hair down
over your ears until you look like a Uottl-
celll virgin painted In the fifteenth century.
Don't wear the new tooth-pick patent leather
shoes ; they will make you walk like a lame
peacock and send the blood to your nose.
Don't wear whlto gloves It your hands are
big. Don't think that because you can't
accomplish a tailor gown you can't coddle up
the dainty Frenchy little frocks now the
rage. Don't wear pink If you are a dingy
brunette , or yellow If you are a fjdeJ blond ? .
Don't wear light stockings If you have thick

No less a person than an observant phy
sician offers a word of well meant-counsel to
feminine cyclists.
"Every other woman one meets , " he says ,
"owns or Is saving for the purchase of a
safety , cxcrcls ? on which there Is none bet
ter to be found. The wheel takes Its rider
Into the open air , where American women
can scarcely spend too much time , and any
one will notice , to tholr honor , how erect
these pettlcoated cyclists sit In their saddles ,
a direct reproach to their hump-shouldered
brethren. But there Is another side to this
picture. It Is beginners particularly who
are tempted to forget the virtus o taking ,
things easily , and In their excited interest
make the first mistakes.
"No woman , however strong or eagsr to
learn , should take a cycle lesson over a half
hour long , and she should stop frequently
In the course ot It to- rest and pull some
lorgth breaths. The girl who Is not very
strong and the least bit uncertain as to
the cause of her weakness will be the happier
and better for asking a physician's advice
before putting her foot to the pedal. In
nirtety-nlne cases out of a huridrcd he will
send her at once to the cycle school.
"It Is the anemic , weak-lunged , narrow-
chested , dyspeptic woman to whom the bi
cycle Is n very tonic , but she. If having no
directions from a doctor , must follow com
mon sense In her practice , and If In the first
lesson ot a halt hour seems to have ex
hausted her strength , should cut It In half ,
taking fifteen minutes twice In one day and
a cracker and a few spoonfuls of sherry
when the exorcise Is over , "
It possible learn to ride In one of the good
cycle schools , where ono learns In half the
usual time and Mio Instructor shows a
would-be wheel woman how to use her
strength on the pedals as to r.nvo half the
muscular effort a poorly taught person puts
forth.
A great deal has been sold as to what con
stitutes the dress graceful and convenient
for cycling , but llttlo ns to the dress health
ful. Now , whether a woman choses to wear
trousers , a short skirt , or a Ions one , let
her bo sure not to have her stays tight , and
If she Is slender and can afford the extra
expenditure use a buttoned corded waist era
a pair ot short riding corsets In place of the
long , heavily-boned stays of dally use. There
is no gain of greco or beauty In a small waist
for bicycling , but much danger to heart and
digestion from a tightly-laced body when
wheeling.
A woman who rides much In summer
ought to wear with her loose stays the
thinnest of wool under vests , which absorbs
the moisture of the body , prevents one
from taking cold and Is the coolest , lightest
garment for wear under a percale shirt
waist.
"Never when wheeling garter your stockIngs -
Ings with elactlc bands above the knee , "
says an experienced cyclist. "Use long clas
tic hose supporters , fastened to the bottom
of the corset , and htrap under your saddle ,
when setting out for anything like a lengthy
ride , a llttlo case , holding a vial of brandy ,
a skoln of black sewing silk , a needle , a wee
pair of scissors , a square at court plaster
and a small bottle of ammonia. "
"Never get on your wheel , " she adds ,
"until a half hour after eating and never

at a time. Slacken speed and roll along
slowly for a bit bcforo resuming a smart
paco. Two hours In the longest regular

half hour after breakfast for steady oxcrclbe.

concludes , "who respects her dignity , her

a \voman on a bicycle was not meant by
any law of hygiene or geol taste. "

The most extraordinary progress Is being
made every iay ! In the direction of facilitat
ing the labors of housekeepers. Not only do
\\lndow cleaning companies exist In most
of the largo cities , but professional dusters
come In and attend to the books In the library ,
tlio bric-a-brac In the drawing room and all
tlio delicate mouldings and carvings with
which the walls of the modern house are
adorned. Carpets are taken up , cleaned and
replaced all In one day. The transfer com
panies will move the entire furnishings of
one house to another without the owner being
obliged to pack anything. Every objc-ct , down
to one's glees and china , is picked up by hanJ ,
carefully deposited in a padded van and re
stored to place in the new abode the com
pany holding Itself responsible for any damage
dona In transit.
Visiting housekeepers are numerous. They
oomo In the morning , rece-lve orders for the
Jay. do the marketing , visit every department
rf the house to see lliat they are In perfect
orJer , arrange fresh flowers In the vases , anil
If there Is a dinner parly or luncheon In pros
poet , make all needful preparations , and then
depart silently , leaving order behind them.
They hunt up the references of new servants ,
nee to the cloning cf the house for summer
and the opening day again In autumn , hold
themselves responsible for the brightness o !
the silver , the perfection of the linen , thai
all ias ; and water pipes are In order , and thai
the * furnace gives out the proper heat.
Thcro are also visiting secretaries , who

directing and mailing parcels , hunting up
references , paying bills , and even on occa
Bions leaving the employer's cards , whore
visits of congratulations or condolence onlj
require bits of pasteboard to be handed Ii
at the door.
To mention but one more of the many la
bors now imab/taken by contract , there Is
the visiting 'ila'friW and mender who conies
twice a weclj''Onco to count the clothes
going to the rjuiMry and mend all such arti
cles as need repairs before going to the wash ,
and again to count and look over the clean
clothes , adding buttons that may have been
knocked off "Iri 'lronlng , darning stockings
and putting everything Into proper drawers
and shelves'lh perfect condition. But the
newest and moat'complete ' device for saving
women trouble -"Tlas been devised by a New-
York firm of' real estate agents. These men
have tnada a specialty of renting flats , but
the business also Includes .entire houses. In
connection with this they have nn enormous
house furnishing warehouse where every
thing needed , from cellar to garret , Including
table silver , china , linen , glass , groceries and
pictures are to bo found.
Piol The system Is this : A woman In search
olw a home , or oven In search of a place In
which to keep boarders , looks over the great
register cf dwellings and chooses what she
Isfr In search of which may vary all the way
fr a bed hnd sitting room to a five-story
ill house. Once she has decided upon
something suitable to her means nnd taste
she proceeds to the warehouse and selects
the entire furnishings of her residence. She
takes the samples to the furnishing clerk
or a mere numbered list of her choice and
she worries no more about the matter until
1Pf ho walks Into the new house to find the car
pets laid , shades up , curtains and pictures
hung , silver on the buffet , china and linen
Ingi the closets , kitchen utensils on the dresser ,
groceries in the storeroom and the place
completely prepared for living In.
ccfo A thirty-room house will be all ready
for moving Into twenty-four hours after
the furnishings nro selected , and a small
flat the same. If the householder has no
confidence In her own taste she has only
tcpi mention the sum she Is willing to ex
pend In furnishing , and the firm under
takes to choose for her , and she may simply
di a check and walk In to enjoy the
st prepared for her by the profes
sional furnisher and decorator.
After all , though , this Is brand new In
America ; It Is only an Idea borrowed from
the other side of the water. It Is said that

ISociltnwork
The one great feature of all needle work
designs for the season Is gold. It may be
applied In the form of spangles , It may be
bullion coucbed on , or used In flue thread ,
but whatever the form , the fact remains
that some gold there must be. So much I
learned , and learned positively , from the Society -
ciety of Decorative Art , than which wo have
no higher authority or moro fully to be de
pended upon.
Absolutely now things are so few as to
almost cease to exist. The best that the
embroiderer can hope for Is fresh design or
n now application of a familiar Idea. This
season gold Is predominant , and as a result
much brilliant work will bo seen. The favor
ite designs are all either empire or rococo.
These two seem to divide the honors and to
have no place for any third. In everything
their Influence Is apparent. From the sim
plest linen doylle to the most costly satin
pillow every object shows the effect of one
or of the other , so that while It Is true that
other designs exist , tbeso two have tbo
honor to rank first.
One of the handsomest pieces that I saw
Is a cushion of heavy cream white satin.
On It Is a rich design In rococo largely car
ried out In gold thread and with bits of the
heavier bullion. It Is really gorgeous. No
written word fully describes the effect and
It can be taken as a fair example of what
fine work alms to be.
By its side was a simple linen tray cloth.
On It Is the empire wreath worked In vary
ing shades of olive green silks. It Is finished
with an Inch and a half frlnga of the linen
and the edge is couched with white cord.
Nothing simpler could ba devised , yet. In
spite of Us close proximity to splendor , It
held Its own place and seemed beautiful
In Us daintiness.
The \vreatii "ie essential characteristic
which makes , U nnd others similar to It new.
The linen anil the embroidery are old friends ,
but this entDiro'design Is fresh. I am told
It Is a great Mvqrito and will surely last the
season throufcti , j Certainly , It Is In keeping
'
with much'ol.tne furnishing of the day. at
the same tln\p tfyat it is charming In Itself.
The patterns Ifnd themselves peculiarly to
the mania far cold , and many of them are
truly superb [ , , Tbeso shpw flowers worked In
the naturaL'coJpra and the brilliant spangles
set In to majfp ' a , superb effect. Large pieces
of this work'nr'emost , exacting and not often
undertaken. , .so/that one sees hosts of llttl %
things rath rr than any one or two big
pieces. Among , , these some charming card
casts and casej for scissors and needles
stand out conspicuously and suggest all sorts
of posslblUtfefi. for little Inexpensive gifts
to friends tot'ravel. , They are In book form ,
about as blc as. a generous case of leather ,
and show satm exquisitely worked In rococo
designs In the Inside , with trimming of cream
white moire. The card cases have pockets
within ttP ) cavers , but the needleworks show
an assortment of needles In .small pockets
on one- cover and handsomely carved small
scissors attached to the other. Both are
wonderfully attractive and so truly elegant
they at once suggest themselves as appro
priate gifts to bo offered at the shrine of
some dainty woman friend.
One real novelty which , after all , Is a vari
ation of the rococo idea U a form of upplleU
work and consists of flowers cut from heavy
brocade an3 arranged upon a foundation of
silk. Touches of gold are seen , and altogether
the effect IB immense. Seen in Its completed
state , It looks most difficult , but , after all ,
any woman who Is neat and deft , and who
has a correct eye for color , can do It with
success ; at least It Is worth the trial , for It
makes a superb cuihlcn or pcarf and has
the real merit cf be-lng the "very latest net. "
Heavy tllk lace and gold net are coin-
bin J to innUj a fascinating whole. A small
stand cover thnt I was thown bore the market
ot some fabulous price , but whllo the materi
als arc nil expensive , It might bo done with
comparatively little cost. The foundation Is
silk , In this Instance deep , rich red. Over It
Is plain gold net , and upon the net again Is
applied heavy ecru silk lace , the pittern of
which la outlined with gold spangles. The
finish round the edge In gold lace. Altogether
the cover Is splendid , and If the gold Is all of
the oriental sort It will not tatnlah under any
ordinary usage.
Scrim Is having a revival. The perfectly
plain sort It ) lining made * Into charming scarf *
atU bureau covers. Housekeepers who value
wearing quality will undoubtedly ba glad of
this fact ; but as the new rcrlm 11111 Jit show
Its bit of gold , cflro in lint be taken or the
cover will lose Its reputation for wear. A fin
ished model shown me Is elaborately worked
with a conventional bnr.ler of whlto silk , Hero
anl there eolld cquaivn of gold aru Intro
duced , and the- brilliant thread adds IU rich
ness to all the design. The finli-li Is linen
lace * , elaborately spangled , and the whole ef
fect Is far more brilliant than ono would sup
pose scrim could be made to be. Judging
from the care exercised In other things , U Is
s.ife to assert thnt all this gold Is of the
best sort , and thnt It can wj be cleaned with
out harm. Heal Turkish gold , It Is claimed ,
wilt stand laundering , and the fine Imported
doylies go to prove the fact. But It Is ex
tremely dlfilcult to obtain , and unless It can
bo verified beyond n doubt , It Is wiser to pay
the prlco for clc-anlng than to risk spoiling a
handsome plc-ce of work.
I'rurtlcjil rrniicli < iioklnt ; ,
( By Mrs. Will II. Low. )
In Franco many soups are made without
meat. Sometimes butter and eggs , again
milk , and often again grease saved from
the drippings of roasted beet , veal and
poultry are used. The fat of mutton Is not
delicate enough and Is too strongly flavored.
When meat has been roasted there Is nl-
ways at the bottom ot the pan a mixture
of juice and fat. Carefully pour the grease
which Is on the top Into a saucepan , keeping
the juice underneath to serve with the
meat. Place the grease on the fire and let
It cook until it has stopped sizzling. The
sizzling Indicates that there Is still liquid In
the fat , which would prevent Its preserva *
tlon , unless It has been thoroughly evapo
rated. Pour though a fine strainer Into an
earthen jar , In which It will keep indefinitely
If In a cool place. The grease of different
meats can be kept In the panic jar just ns
they happen to be cooked ; the mixture will
bo an improvement. Not only can soups
bo made with these drippings , but It may
also bo used for frying purposes , Instead of
butter In the cooking of certain meats.
Three jars ot It could bo kept on hand all
the time. Ono for frying fish , a second for
vegetables , fritters , etc. , and the third
could ' contain the portions kept for soup and
meat. These three different Jars are neces
sary : , as the grease left from frying can
always > be strained back into Its receptacle
without mixing with and Injuring the other
fat. ' My experience Is that the meat cooked
for a family of three will soon accumulate
enough ' drippings to fill three one-quart Jars.
Once ' a month , unless emptied by using , re
; move all the grease , melt and strain anew-
back Into the jars , which should first have
been ' well washed and placed for a few min
utes ' in boiling water.
CHEAP NORMANDY SOUP.
Ono tablespoonful of grease.
Three leeks , medium size.
One potato , medium size.
Ono teaspoonful of salt.
A pinch of pepper.
One-quarter of a small cabbage.
The Savoy cabbage Is the best of all cab
bages. ' It has not the sour , bitter taste of
the common vegetable , and does not smell .
so strongly when cooking. II
Put In a saucepan one pint and a half of
water , the drippings , sail and pepper. When h
the \vater bolls , add all the vegetables , proc
vlously picked , washed and cut Into small
pieces as big as dice. Doll until cooked , n
about half an hour. Pour In the soup u
tureen , at the bottom of which is some wello
browned bread , also cut In small pieces , let a
stand three cr four minutes and serve.
ROAST VEAL. tl
An objectionable thing about veal In this [
country Is that the calves are killed too
young , It would bo an Improvement , If It
were possible to convince those Interested In
the question , that the flesh of these animals
Is unfit to cat , If butchered before they are
at least six weeks cr two months old. The
best butchers , however , keep the best meat ,
and at some of these stores good veal can
b ? obtained.
The proper temperature of the oven has
this can only be learned with time and habit.
An over-heated oven will scorch the meat
without cooking It. If too cool , the meat
heating slowly will lose all Its juice and
become dry and tough. Yet dark meats
should be rare , and need a quicker heat
than white meats , which must be thoroughly
done and , consequently , have to roast more
slowly. If It U noticed that the meat Is
browning too rapidly a piece of buttered
paper laid on top of It and removed later
will obvlato the difficulty. Veal needs a
half hour's cooking for each pound of meat.
The loin ( kidney part ) Is the best cut for
a roast. If the kidney Is there , detach It
from the meat , take off all the fat In which
It Is wrapped ( this fat , cut In small pieces
and melted. Is a good addition for your jars
of grease ) , roll It In the- flexible part of the
meat , fixing it with an Iron skewer. The
wooden skewers stick to the meat while
cooking and are troublesome to remove. Veal
Is naturally dry and needs frequent basting ,
for that purpose put In a tablcspconful of as
grease or buttrr In ( ho pan. Sprinkle the
meat with Bait and ptpppr and set In the
oven. Have * It browned nnd cooked equally
well on all aides. Trim the dish with pars *
Icy.
SPINACH.
A good vcgetabln to servo with veal Is
spinach. It KOCIIIR to harmonize with It bet
ter than any other , excepting , perhaps , a
purco d'oscllle ( sorrel In English ) , or a puree
of chicory. I will give today the recipe of
spinach :
Two quarts ot spinach.
A bit of butter.
A pinch ot pepper.
Spinach can never be too carefully cleansed.
Detach the leaves from the root and Kish
It In seven or eight different waters ; ften
then the pand may not b6 entirely removed.
Have about three quarts of boiling water
well salted , plunge the spinach In It and let
It cook for twenty minutes. Strain and prew
all the water out , and chop very fine. Put
the butter In it saucepan on the fire , let It
melt and add to the uplimcli with a dust of
pepper. Stir well until the butter Is well
mixed with the spinach , tlirii sprinkle over
a teaspoonful of flour. Still stirring , add
