All of them wore their hair hl*h, with spangled flowers or wings therein, all wore short sleeves, long gloves, and as far as my defective glance went, carried their suede clad Angers In languid Idle emptiness. No fans, no flowers, were seen, and colors high and clear, else white ,or black, wholly undlversifled. gave the required distinctive expression to the various costume*. “Now to get down to particulars. I may as wott relate what was worn by three women who took my fancy mightily, and who seamed to me the Incarnation of all freshness and originality. One of them sat In a box not far away from mine, with Mrs. Gould, and was radiant in a robe of black aatin, worked In mingled Mack and silver spangles, laid so closs together from her shoulders to her knees, with no broken line at the w&lst, that she very nearly resembled some lovely reincarnation of the Lamia or a mermaid from the African coast, with the moonlight playing on her splendid gleaming dusky scales. From the knees down, about her eattn-shod feet, flared an ac-Cordian-plaited flounce that waved and flourished In the most bewitching manner as she passed me In the foyer, hooded and shrouded in black velvet. “Out of this cloud with Us silver Streaks, rose her handsome white shoulders, Innocent of all jewels save a strap of brilliants, arching on one shoulder, and between the hard brilliancy of the spangles and the tender whiteness of bar arms and neck, the clever dressmaker had twisted a scarf of chiffon at the top of her bodice. Long pearl white gloves, snd In her hair a couple of black tulle win^s glistening with silver spangles, brought the details of the costume up to the perfectly correct standard. “When I had satisfied eyes and envy on this creation, my gaxe roved on to a perfectly brand new adaptation of the princess idea. It was blue. Blue silk muslin, plaited In straight lines from ahouldsr to foot, and plaited as full as the gauzy goods will allow, was ths grown proper. Upon this went a robe of Lexeull lace, that covered only the back and sides of ths cerulean clouds, cams forward to lap In imitation of a flgaro Jacket on the bust, snd let fall one graceful lacy figure on either arm. and ae left the whole front of the frock as purs ssure ss the skies in June, save for a sash of cream white stuff, that fastened directly In front and waved Its tong ends to the wearer's toes.’’

•"Well, I am going to bow to that horrid Mr. S. that I have cut for the last six months!” exclaimed her antagonist. The former scored another triumph In her turn by waving her handkerchief to attract the attention of a man she knew across the street, who raised his hat in surprissd fashion at her sudden friend-

But it was at the confectioners’ that the victory was won with a single point by little Miss X, who rushed In front of a cable car to speak to»one of her moth•r's friends, who was - evidently much amased at the proceeding. “Jt would never do to play this game •CUn, would ttr' exclaimed one of the girls as, exhausted and laughing, they faaned on the counter.

The gown is built over a rose transparency, and on tbe bottom of the skirt is an inserted border of some beautiful yellow Igce. Above thle the embroidery of roses Is done In pink and pale yellow chsnIlia and bowknots are made of narrow black velvet. This forms an elaborate trimming that covers nearly the whole of ths skirt.

This intellectual amusement, as related by her brother, suggested a way of passing the time to a society girl, who, with a friend, was “doing her three miles'’ on the avenue. The game was based on the number of bows they received from acquaintances, and many were the devicee they employed to attract the notice of their friends. A box of chocolates was ths trophy.

conversation the other day showed this very noticeably. They are particularly bright children, a little son and daughter of clever parents, who talk to the children very much ss they would to older people. So when In talking together the other day something was mentioned which they did not understand, the children Immediately proceeded to discuss tbo pros and cons. The little girl is seven and the boy a couple of years younger. The former has a habit while she <s dressing of talking to herself, “Arm, go in,” she will say as she puts on one garment, and ''Foot, go In," as she puts on another. The small boy had noticed this, and spoke to her about it. "Why do you say ’Foot, go in,' and ’Arm, go In’?” he asked. "Why don't you say 'Me go in'?" "Why, it isn't ‘me' that goes in," replied the small girl, “it is Just my foot or my arm. What is ‘me’ anyway?" The small boy thought earnestly for a moment. “Why, 'me' is your head and stomach, ' he Anally answered. “No.” said the small girl. "I think 'me' Is your head and heart." Which proves positively that even in early years the ego of the man is his stomach and that of the woman her heart. Domestic Service in England. [tendon Queen ] "I have seen foreign servants who looked like gentlemen In disguise, and who probably at home never cleaned their own shoes. They have uncomplainingly done work usually relegated to an errand boy, who cleaned knives and blacked boots for a whole family, besides

and there Is a lace fichu framing the decolletage The value and beauty of this gown He in the embroidery’, which Is moet artistic. About the hem Is a border of sable; behind is a bow of fur bolding the Watteau plait. A good many possessors of plump shoulders regret the departure of the mode of "straight aoroes” decolletage. However, several evening gowns seen in Paris this winter show that this cut is possible even with the prevailing mode. The gown responsible for this suggestion Is of pink crepe de chine, cut in prin cess form and embroidered with Jets in an "all over" pattern. Across the bust Is a guimp of pink mousseline de sole In rows of ehlrrings separated by lines of Jets. This guimp extends over the arms fn the form of sleeves These are, of course, short and tight and not at all like the big sleeves of a few years affo, but they are exceptionally pretty. Over the shoulders are braces made of black velvet ribbon, which extends to the bottom of the skirt and fastens at the bust ana waist with diamond ornaments.

THE MODE. Under this head The News discusses each 4-eek questions of good form, dress and household economy, asked by Its readers. Address Editor The News. Geraldine—Please advise what style collar and tie Is going to be worn with cotton shirt waists this season? tVhat Is the difference between foulards and wash silks? Which Is the most fashionable for full suits? A.—Apparently, there is to be as much variety In ties as there was last summer. Scarfs of every sort

polishing windows and carrying up coals. At meal time they have laid the cloth and waited at table with the dignity and noiselessness of an English man servant, and this for wages which few scullery maids would accept. It has been remarked that these waiters usually come from superior homes. The happy result is that they are often more reliable than the average maid servant. I have known one, an Alsatian, to whom I would unhesitatingly have Intrusted all I had, with the absolute certainty that he would . not betray my confidence. I remember a French boy who appeared to have all the virtues of his class, with no failings to counterbalance them. Bright, honest, quick, he met every demand upon hts service with a ‘Bien, madame,’ and a merry smile, showing his even white teeth. It was a saying in the house where he worked: Tell Victor to stand upon his head, and he’ll say: “Bien, madame," and obey you.’ " Some Empire House Gowns. [Paris Correspondence New York Tribune.] The -vogue of the Empire effects offers opportunity tor a charming variety In house gowns. There are no prettier features for the gown that Is not a negligee nor a formal dress than short jackets and long lines from bust to skirt. The Jacket gives the effect of neatness (for a gown of this sort should be removed from the idea of a deshabille), and the long line in front Is graceful and becoming. A model that can be copied easily is of yellow mousaeline de soie and yellow .velvet. Tbe vel\et makes the bolero and the elbow sleeves, which are tight and finished with a pompadour lace flounce. The jacket forms little points on the sides, and is finished at the waist In the back. From under the jacket behind comes a frill of deep lace that descends In jabots down the sides of the skirt. The entire undergown is of tbe mousseline de sole arranged in fine plaits and sweeping out Into a graceful train. In- contrast to the trim effect of this gown is one of white panne, embroidered with butterflies in iridescent paillettes. The gown hangs from a high belt of green velvet, closed with fancy buttons,

will be worn, as many women have found them extremely becoming. Made of crepe, silk, lace, net or velvet, they are wound once or twice around the neck and either tied In a full bow at the neck, with long ends falling,or they are slipped through a ring mid-way and allowed to fall loosely to the walst-llne. Sometimes the bow is made just over the corsage snd tho ends allowed to fall below the waist-line, but for a cotton waist this style would be somewhat too elaborate. Ribbons will also be worn again, and so will four-in-hands and Ascots, but the fringed silk and crepe scarfs will be In highest favor. There is considerable difference between the texture and finish of foulard silk and those of the wash silks. The foulard is a better fabric and Is more substantial. For a gown It Is decidedly the material to use. Wash silks are Intended chiefly for shirt waists and very cool,dainty ones they make. The foulards must be sent to the cleaner when soiled’ washing would spoil them. Tipton—Can you give me a recipe for -removing grease from an embroidered doily without fading or Injuring the colors, such as red, pink, etc.? A.—You might try either gasoline or alcohol. Still another process consists In rubbing powdered magnesia on the grease spots, placing a sheet of blotting paper over this and then pressing with a hot Iron. Inquisitiveness—What is the correct pronunciation of "debutante?” Is it proper for a young girl to help a young man'on with his oveicoat? Which is tho proper place for knife and fork, on the right or left side of plate. A.—"Da-bu-tante,” with the accent on the last syllable, and the "a” in this syllable like ‘ ah.’’ (2) Not unless he is disabled In some way. (3) At a formal dinner the knives for the different courses are placed on the right side of the plate and the forks on the left. If only one knife and fork are used, these are placed on the right. A. B.—In writing a formal letter to a lady, is It not proper to address her as "Dear Madam,” whether she be married or not? A.—Yes.

FORECAST OF FASHIONS.

Among new French costumes are those of black satin-faced cloth, with a finish of rows of white silk stitching on skirt edge, bolero or jacket. The costume is finished either with a boa of black and white ostrich tips, or one of black and white chiffon and fringe. In the matter of laces, the new designs in chantilly hold high place. The real Renaissance patterns have a realm of their own. among whole piece overdresses, blouse waists, flounces, seamless tea gowns, polonaises, collarettes, etc., and Luxeull, point de Venise, Flemish and point applique designs are equally in demand for fancy bodices. A few years ago the summer gown -was a thing of comfort. It was simply made and worn without much care, since the wash-tub each week made it as pretty and fresh as new. Now we are unmercifully bound to unwashable costumes and are piling on all the frills possible. Take for instance, a summer gown of muslin. The skirt is tucked and frilled In horizontal rows; with perpendicular side plaitings in clusters of five, alternating with one rather wide box plait, with a mixture of fancy kilt and fan plaiting. The fabric is first scalloped at the lower edge or bordered with braid or ribbon. Other styles show skirts with applique flounces, circular models trimmed with strappings and rows of small round pearl buttons and gored skirts nnished with a single ruchc.

What woman is not haunting ths dry goods stores and cloak houses this month, wondering which of all the beautiful suits and gowns she would look the best in, and whether she may have the one she wants. There certainly was never a better opportunity for Indianapolis women to find attractive costumes here at home than there is this spring. Everything desirable is at hand, from a ready-to-wear suit at $15, to the exquisite creations of daint-ily-colored borage, tucked, plaited and garnished with chiffon and pallettes, running up into the hundreds. Gowns that our women pay double the . . price for at Cheviot. Stern's and Wanamaker’s, are being displayed here for $125 and $130. Of course some women would not buy the ready-to-wear gowns, If they fitted them exactly, and were the very things they wanted. But they are heard to find fault with the best tailors, nevertheless. When a Arm acquires a reputation, every woman longs to lay down her jacket, and look with satisfaction on the Inch and half square,which brands her as unquestionably “up-

to-date.”

In price. the ready-made suits range from $25 to $50. and come in tans, grays, blues and browns. The grays and navy blues seem to be most popular. They are stlk-lin-ed, and all have the unwieldy box plait at the back. It is varied, however, In a number of ways. Sometimes the goods is tucked over the plait. Often there occasionally more.

Pink Borare.

are two plaits, and Many of the skirts

have circular flounces, and are trimmed on the gores with bands of taffeta. The jackets are ae different as possible. Some

are entirely without collar or revets. Others have only a collar and no revers. In that case, the collar is of taffeta, and very much stitched. If the collar is Medici in shape, as a few r are, it Is of velvet, and

also stitched.

There is as great a demand for the single as for the double - breasted coats. The jauntiest are purely Eton in effect, though some very handsome ones are cut a little below the waist. •

Among the

ready-to-wear reception gowns displayed at one of the cloak houses is a rose borage. It Is designed so Pearl Gray Poplin. I*/fa ful in effect, that only the one who constructed it would ever be able to give its full description. The bodice is made over a white satin lining, and its foundation, like all bodices this yeax is simple.

On the fronts and back, and crossing the sleeves.is a yoke of accordionplaited moussefine. On each of these tiny plaits Is a shirred satin ribbon. Below the yoke are bands of bo rage, garnishee with pallettes: Between two groups of these bands the borage is corded and smocked. The vest front is in mousseline, and is finished at the right side with a lace Jabot. The collar is of lace, and Is edged with pallettes on a bias band. Th skirt is tucked and stitched a»

intervals from Ribbon and insertion waist, back to front. sppliqued skirt. Another charming gown Is of pearl gray poplin, also trimmed with mousseline and lace. It has rows of black velvet ribbon crossing the moussellne. One of its prettiest features are the lace

revers, falling in easy folds at either side of

the vest.

A stunning tan raglan, at one of the dry goods stores, is certainly as “up-to-date” as • any one could j wish. T h e s e | coats, always | ready to slip j an easily at a ] moment's warn- j mg, will cer- j tainly have be- i come very pop- j ui&r by next j

One has a bias band of taffeta from the top of the dart to the beginning of the Tan Raglan. flounce, and another band serves as a heading for that. In ready-made waists, black velvet plays a most Important part. It Is used with inserting to form entire waists, and on nearly every one it is found a conspicuous trimming. Skirts come separately, and are elaborately appliqued. There are grenadines, with accordionplaited flounces, made over taffeta foundations. which serve the purpose of dinner or reception toilets, and cost $40 and upward. Indeed, there is no limit to the variety of the season's ready-made costumes.

Essays on General Lawton. One of the teachers In the public schools of the city, whose children are much Interested in the Boys' and Girls’ department of The News, asked al] of them, recently, to write essays on Gen. Lawton, with the promise that the two best should be sent to The News. These two essays follow: The United States mourns the loss of one of our noblest generals. He was born in Toledo, O. His home was In Ft. Wayne, Ind. He spent a great deal of his time studying law, but his friends thought he would make a brave soldier. He was killed while fighting in the Philippine islands, December 19. 1899, at San Mateo, two months ago. He was &. brave, honest and noble man. His life was honorable, and all classes of people will respect him, and will always remember him. He served in three wars—the civil, the Indian and Spanlsh-American wars. He was a soldier thirty-eight yeaYs, and was flfty-six years old. General Lawton leaves a wife and four

Lawton and the children’s pictures were in Monday’s News. The people of the United States raised $100,000 for his family as a token of gratitude for his many brave acts in the war. They are trying to raise a fund to build a monument to his memory. His remains arrived at 10:30 Monday evening, and lay In state. The schools closed Tuesday afternoon, sj that the children might, go to the State House to view the casket. Over the casket were red, white and blue electric lights, and It was surrounded with palms and beautiful flowers. We entered the south door and went out the north door. The south door was draped with black crape and flags. • General Lawton will be burled Friday, at 2:30 p. m., at Washington, D. C., with all military honors due a soldier.

MAY DANNER, seven years old. 1630 South Meridian street. The Lost Found. [The Prize Story.] Once in West Indianapolis, In a barn, a mother with three children lived. It was very hard for the poor mother to support her little ones. The children went barefooted and stayed In a barn, while their poor mother went out and worked hard at other people's houses to earn her dally bread. A dog was once given to the little & ones, or children of J the family. The iYU« .aTOKfe -M children had never Mflt dMUlK? d before had any " mmT plaything, and so 4' £1 they were very much delighted over their new playfellow. The children, when they had time, taught him tricks. The dog was treated well at breakfast, dinner and supper. Each of the children shared with the dog their scanty meal. One day, when the children were going an errand for their mother their dog went, too. As they were walking along their dog crossed off at the first crossstreet. but they did not, so the dog strayed away,and when he came to look for his home he could not find It. The poor children were sad over their misfortune for more ; ^ , than a month. One day about a month and a half after their misfortune the children were sitting in the barn chatting when in walked the pet dog of theirs. The boy jumped up and shouted. They hugged and petted the dog for one hour. They went over all his tricks and playefl with him also. I know nobody was any happier than those children that day. But when their pet came back he was shabby looking and his collar was gone, but the children loved him more than ever before, and they never gave him a chance to get lost again.

HELPS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

By Mary J. Lincoln. [Copyrighted, 1»00, by Welter B. Guild ] Macaroni is one of our most nutritious and economical foods, and It is to be regretted that this desirable food is not seen on our tables at least once a week. It might share the honors with the potato as a daily accompaniment to our meats. Macaroni Is made from the best wheat flour, and as wheat is our most valuable cereal, it is well to know all the ways possible for it to be served as food. It is one of our most convenient foods, for It is prepared in forms which may be stored for a long time. Although of the same nature as our daily bread, the methods of cooking It are so different from those we use in cooking wheat flour, that we seem to have an entirely new or different dish. Macaroni is also valuable because it affords an opportunity to use cheese, another valuable food, in a form which to many persons Is more digestible than when eaten alone oi> uncooked. And as the macaroni is deficient in fat, and particularly in flavor, cheese, butter, cream or milk, or the fat of meat, or meat broth, with onion or tomato, should be used in combination with It, in all Us varied preparations. Notwithstanding all the reports of the objectionable methods used in preparing the wheat pastes into the various shapes seen in our stores, it is needless to wash it before cooking, for th© boiling water will better take off anything that needs to be removed. Always cook it in boiling water before serving it in any way, and if it is to be further cooked In stock or milk, always parboil it first in water till nearly soft. This will cleanse It, and will also save the unnecessary boiling away of the stock. Drain it and let cold water run through It to keep it from becoming pasty, and the tubes from adhering to each other. Macaroni is awkward to serve if In large long pieces, a* it is one of the most slippery compounds imaginable and only smaller varities of vermicelli and sphagetti can be handled dexterously with the fork. Therefore, either break it into bits before boiling, or cut it after it is drained. The following are well-tested methods of preparation: Plain Baked Macaroni. Break into one-inch (or less) pieces, enough macaroni to fill a cup. Put it into a large kettle of boiling salted wa-

ter and cook rapidly twenty mlnqtee, or until it may t>e cut eaeily with A fork against the kettla Stir it frequently during the first ten minutes, or it will stick. Turn it Into a strainer and hold It under the faucet till well rinsed la cold water. Put it into a shallow baking dish and cover each layer with bits of butter, a sprinkling of pepper, salt and mustard if you like. Fill the dish with hot milk, stirring It well to let the macaroni absorb as muph as possible. Cover with a thin layer of buttered erseker crumbs, and boko slowly about half on hour. Macaroni with Oystora. Fill a baking dish with alternate layers of well bojled macaroni and prepared oysters, season each layer with paprika, salt, a tiny Mt of moot If llkod, one tablespoon of minced celery, or a sprinkling of celery salt, and fill the dish with cream or with one cup of white sauce. Cover with buttered cracker crumbs and bake about twenty minutes. Macaroni Baked with Cheese. Cook one generous cup of finely broken macaroni In boiling salted water till tender. Drain and rinse In cold water. Make white sauce with one cup of hot milk stirred gradually into one rounded tablespoon of butter and one level tablespoon of flour cooked together. Season with one-half teaspoon of salt and a litle paprika and mustard. Hava rsady one-half cup of‘dry cheeee, grated or sliced fine. Butter & shallow baking dish, put In alternate layers of macaroni, cheaae and sauce, and covsr with fine buttered cracker crumbs. Cook to a hot oven till brown.
