LURE OF THE NEW VELVET Worn e a of Few Frocks Do Well to Close Their Byes to Its Charms. This promises to be an expensive season in dress. The furs, the velvets, the satins the embroideries, all the beautiful materials that rank high on fashion's list are costly things. . The woman of few frocks will do well to close her eyes to the lure of the velvets. They are beautiful beyond description and becoming and modest, but they will not I CLOTH AND NET. give such service as will other materials equally fashionable. For street, wear and visiting wear a One broadcloth will be found much more prac-! tlcal than Velvet. For house wear and evening wear the lovely satins and crepes, and even the sheer gauxy stuffs, will stand hard ' wear better than velvet. But, con siderations of economy being left out of the discussion, the new velvets must be en thusiastically acclaimed. How thla material has changed since the old days! The light, supple, clinging fabric of today haa little In common with the stiff velvets of yesteryear, and though chiffon velvet of the less expensive qualities has a distressing capacity for looking mussy and shabby. It unquestionably is more graceful than the richest of old Lyons vel vets, while the new velvets of finest qualtty are Ideal fabrics. These are exquisite velvets for evening wear, lustrous, supple stuffs in all the deli cate colorings, and two wonderful models have been seen, one In a luscious yellow 'twlxt malxe and aprloot, and the other In a rose hue with a fruity bluom. Both were of princes 86 construction, and the yellow dollars in fuel can not afford to aay to yourself "My will have to do this winter." Tha old eating up the price of a new stova every year.

SOME TIMELY TESTED RECIPES Direction for Preparation of Some Deserts and Other Good Thins. Make a rich pie crust of one pint of sifted flour, a pinch of salt, a little baking powder; one teacupful of lard; mix with Ice cold water. Line pie pnna with' crust, and put In oven to set. Remove from oven, pour In filling and bake. Take tho whites of the eggs beaten stiff, adding one table spoonful of sugar to each egg. Whon puddings are baked, remove from oven; spread frosting over tops and return to oven until brown. Bisque of Sago and Clam Boll In slightly salted water, two ounces of sago that has been soaked in cold water over night; when perfectly transparent, add a pint of boiling milk, a tablespoonful of butter, a saltsponful of black pepper and half a teaspoonful of salt; meanwhile pass through the meat chopper a pint of clams, heating to the boiling point In flieir own liquor in a gianlte saucepan and pour the two preparatons simultaneously Into a heated tureen, together with a cupful of whipped cream; thicken slightly with a little crumbled cracker. Serve immedi ately, accompanied by toasted biscuits. Crisp Potato Chips An old chef, noted for his culinary surprises. Imparted to me tne following method of making potato chips which I have since employed with the ) greatest success and ease. Select large, sound potatoes, peel and stand over night i In sufficient salted water to cover them I well this draws all the milk out of them drain, rinse In cold water; wipe each per fectly dry; slice thin with a cutter, spread on a cloth as they are cut, and by the time the last are cut the first will be ready to fry. When the fat Is smoking hot add a pinch of salt, to make It brown quickly, and drop them In a few at a" time; when a delicate brown take out and sprinkle over with fine salt, while still hot. Waffles Of the two kinds of waffles risen and quick the latter la the? more popular, because the batter may be pre pared upon the shortest possible notice. Then, too, there Is no risk of over-fermentation, which always exists when yeast Is used for rising purposes. For quick waffles beat the yolks of two eggs smooth and light; then add one pint of fresh, sweet milk, one tablespoonful of melted butter, one-half teaspoonful of baking powder sifted with one pint and one rounded tablespoonful over of sifted flour. Stir all together briskly, then add the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth, folding them In lightly. Bake without delay. Upon the cook's deftness In baking de pends much of the success In waffle-making. In the first place, the iron must be scrupulously clean. The slightest rough ness will cause the batter to stick. When hot. the Iron must be thoroughly greased in all its Interstices. A bit of salt pork Is the best grease for this Duraom Pni In the batter takng care not to fill it too full experience will soon teach one Just how much butter Is required brown the lower side, turn quickly arid brown the other side. Turn out on a hot plate and butter each waffle as soon as taken from the Iron. Bene with maple syrup or strained honey. Waffles should not stand long after baking. The sooner they are served, the crlsper they will be; although and It Is a secret worth knowing cold but tered waffles may be stacked one upon the other, then reheated In the oven and be almost as good as when freshly, baked. SAVE THE INVITATION PLATE Latest Popular Fad Among tt$ Smart One Toras It to Good Accoant. The 'copper plates from which wedding Invitations are engraved are no longer con signed to the category of things that were. The very nwest wrinkle for the bride Is to have the plate saved for her and con verted into an article that combines senti ment and utility. And why not? The copper plate costs anywhere from tlO to $16, and therefore It has been discarded considered Just about as useful as an empty champagne bottle or a check for a seat at last night's theatri cal performance. Not until some ingeni ous soul discovered that the bride was be ing defrauded of her rights to a certain square of copper did It ever occur to any one to make inquiry as to Its whereabouts. Having realized that It Is tiers for the asking, the up-to-date bride proceeds to take possession of it. And there Isn't anything much prettier, by the way, than a piece of carefully burnished copper. Bhe doesn't put It away with the rest of her wedding treasures, her white satin slippers, a bit of orange blossom or a prayer book bound in white vellum, as her mother or her grandmother would have dnnu. Not she. Bho hies her to a Jeweler and has a card tray made of It.' The only thing necessary in the transformation is to round off the cormrs, bend up the edge Just a bit with Enquire for Them No housewife who has used any of DISS'S Flavoring v.,,,.

Or she may be a bride with a certain amount of old-fashioned sentiment In her makeup and Ideas not so far removed from the orange blossom satin slipper period. If so, she has a frame made from her copper plate, so that it is all ready for the photo graph of herself In her Wedding gown. The center of the plate Is cut out, leaving a border about one Inch wide. This forms the frame proper. The part that has been cut out, on which Is the engraving, forms the supporting back and is fastened to the frame with hinges, the engraved side turned so that It Is visible when one looks at the reverse side of the frame. A border of orange blossoms Is engraved on the surface of the frame and. a pretty Idea, one that brings out to the very best advantage every point of this little conceit, Is to place It directly in front of a mirror. Then not only the picture of the bride with Its orange blossom frame is visible, but the engraving, on the back is reversed and therefore Is plainly to be read. FIANCEE'S . FINANCES SHORT Fortune of Miss Mathilda) Towasend fnaotTtrlent for Station of Spanish Dike. Gossip at the national capital is saying thst the rumored engagement between Miss Matliilde Townsend, daughter of Mrs. Richard Townsend. and the Spanish Duke de Alba Is off and for the reason that Mrs. Townsend's annual Income of 1200.000 Is Insufficient for restoration and mainten ance of the duke's ancestral place, which Is one of the oldest and proudest In Spain. Mrs. Townsend and her daughter met the duke at the Spanish embassy In Psris while guests of Senor and Senora Rlano and his attentions to Mrs. Townsend be came marked, so marked In fact that the Townsends were among the few outsiders who were honored with Invitations for the royal wedding at Madrid last year. Soon after Mrs. and Miss Townsend returned to this country the duke sent his financial agent to look over the 'prospects" and he was accorded every courtesy by tho wealthy widow and her daughter. But the 260,000 a year was not satisfactory, the duke assuring them that $500,000 annually was the very least that would do credit to his name ami titles and greatly Incum bered estate, . SOCIETY CRAZY ABOUT GAME Tossing Top on Bit of Striae Super cedes Everything In Fash ionable Favor. t France la aald to be "crasy about" the rw game of "Dlabolo," or the "devil's game." It has been taken up In England and lias been introduced recently in this country and everywhere has made a tre mendous hit. Golf sticks and tennis rac quets have been laid aside for the top and bit of string,, ; The. top Is "twiddled" about on the string until it la sent spinning aloft If the playef 'Is skillful, and caught on the string agaln-The fever for the game is. It Is said, ah exact reflection of the mania that.selxed upon 'France in 1812 during the reign of Napoleon, and many caricatures still exist of the game applied to tha poli tics and social life of tha time. The game, It la said, originated In China long before 1812 and waa introduced into Franca by a missionary. sickaeaa anal Affectloa. Some person whose name la not given said la a speech to graduating nurses: "My advice to you all is to marry and stay married. But don't marry your patients while they are patients. It seems like tak ing advantage of the man and he might later reproach you for it. Let him get up first. And then let him come back and have tha fun of winning you over again." "The advice is probably useless," com mentg the St. Louis Times. "Occasionally romances, and even weddings, come out of the companionship of the sick room; but as a rule 11 Is a poor place to reach the heart of a tender and sensible woman. A alck man is, as a rule, an Impatient, peevish, fretful person and takes a diabolical .de light In trying to do everything the doctor has ordered that he shall not do, and In eating and drinking everything the doctor has Interdicted. He la cynical and ungrate ful. Restrained from the greater activities of life which men enjoy more than women, he gets grumpy and wants to blame every body but himself for his seclusion and lone liness There Is a good 'reason for so many of the nuises being unmarried women. They know men at tnelr worst." PRODIGY OF A ROSE BUSH Pnrnonirnon of I.lllpntlan Slae and I. a rare Floirera Attracts Mark Attention. A ruse bush ' growing In the yard of Dennis Leary. 11 South Thlrty-fiflh street, is uttractltiK much attention. Though four years old the bush Is less than five Inches high. In spite of its stunted slse, It Is In vigorous health, 'it has been a prodigy since It first appeared. Mr. Leary planted the seed from whU'li It grew. It bore its first bud when It was esn than ' an Inch In height li scarcely attulned above this size the Mis: season, but it had a rose curb month us regulnrly as tho moon came around. Last year Mr. I.eary tried the plan of pulling the buds off as soon ss they ap peared. He thought the bush was work ing too hard, at producing roses and was therefore losing In growth. The bush giew but little during this year of .discouragement. Last summer Mr. Leaiy let ft go Its Awn way and, as If to make up fur the' lost dowers of the previous year. It produced throe beautiful buds men month. The flowers are double pet ailed uml full. They are of such slse that the strungth of tho hush Is tuxed to hold lln ni. Earh Is as big around as a halt dollar. Another example of stunted growth sp peard in Mr. Leary's yard last summer. It was a talk of corn which grew up and uttalued a belsht of eighteen inrhes. In spite of Its Lilliputian slse the Hit Ik was perfect and ery fertile, us it proved when It bote six largo ears of pcyoora. Mr. Leary is unable to understand the examples of .stunted growth. He does not believe there is anthlng In. the soil around his bouse to produce these phe nomena. He has done nothing by artificial means to bring about the dwarfing of the plants and he Is utterly unversed In that art peculiar to the Japanese by which trees, flowers and all kinds of vegetatlor. are dwarfed.

He came from Chi cago, where ho bad been a week, having gone there direct from Mexico. Mrs. Thompson came north with Secretary and Mrs. Ellhu Root when they returned from Mexico a fow weeks ago. "Mexico has no financial flurry." snld Mr. Thompson. "Business there In all lines Is going along with Its usual steadiness and there Is no run on 'the banks. There Is a mistaken Idea abroad In the minds of somo people to. the effect that Mexico Is a poor country. This Is a very bud mistake. Right there In the cspitul city there are three banks, the combined capital of which Is more than IICO.WO.OOO.

It is a land of peace, pros perity, plenty. And It,, la true that this happy condition of affairs is largely due to. President Dias. He Is the grand old man of Mexico. He can be called old only In years, for In strength of body and vigor of Intellect he Is still In his early prime, despite the seventy-eight years he has lived. He is a man of abstemious, steady, regular habits. He drinks no liquor of any kind and he does not smoke. He Is at his office from 9 to 12 o'clock In the morning and from 3 to 6. In the afternoon, and if there Is any unfinished business he comes down In the evening also. He is Idolised by his people. Any talk of a successor to him Is premature, to say tho least. Somo of the United States papers have been publishing pictures of men who might pos sibly succeed to his place, but the president with his health and his habits may continue to be the strong ruler of Mexico for a score of years yet." Mr. Thompson takes an outlmlstle view of the present financial flurry and considers it a healthy movement. Ho believes It will result In a .much better condition In business and banking generally than the country has seen for many years. Mr. Thompson went to Lincoln In the afternoon to vote. One of the principal matters to claim his attention on the present trip home is tho Lincoln hotel In Lincoln, to which he Is building a large annex. He will return to Mexico about De cember 1.
