HANDMADE BLOUSES.

They Are Lace Trimmed and Deftly Embroidered.

IMPORTED BLOUSES.

Handnmde decorations are a feature of many of the new imported blouses. Those pictured here represent the. latest and most artistic efforts of a great Parisian modiste. One of the blouses is of linen in drawn thread work, the entire surface of the blouse having the threads drawn. It is heavily braided both on revers and cuffs. The vest and collar are of embroidered lawn. The other blouse, which is for dinner or theater wear, is of blue and black printed material. It is adorned with circular braided ornaments appliqued upon the fabric. The neck and elbow sleeves are finished with point d'esprit.

Waists intended for wear with the tailor made are elegant in their simplicity. They are made of the flimsiest gauzes and so deftly embroidered that they resemble more a fine work of art than merely a blouse to be crushed and hidden by the coat.

One of the fads of the moment is to wear the transparent blouse over a handsome Irish crochet blouse, but when this idea Is successfully carried out the sheerest of marquisette or chiffon must be used in the overwaist. The real chic of rbe tout ensemble is the effect of the heavy lace through the fine mesh of the top waist. Puritan simplicity and Puritan styles are very fashionable at this hour. Simple lines are invariably becoming The slim figure is given a graceful line and the stout one is improved.

LOUISA ALCOTT MEMORIAL

The Concord Woman's Club Heads the Movement.

Orchard House, formerly the home of Louisa M, Alcott, stands today unoccupied and in bad condition.

The Concord Woman’s club, through the interest and generosity of one of its members, has been given an opportunity to purchase this house at a reasonable figure for the purpose of opening it to visitors and maintaining it as a permanent memorial to Miss Alcott.

In this house “Little Women" was written, and little paintings and sketches by Amy may still be seen upon the woodwork in some of the rooms. The house is almost unchanged in its general features, but now so desolate it is a pathetic sight to every one who has loved Louisa Alcott’s stories and the characters she created. Miss Alcotfs stories and characters have given pleasure and had a great and wholesome influence on almost every girl who has lived in the last forty years, and it Is believed that many people the country over will be Interested to contribute toward the preservation of this Alcott home. The house and sufficient land about it can be bought and put in order for sß,ooo* If this sum can be raised the house will be repaired and placed In the charge of a permanent organization, which will maintain it as an Alcott memorial. The Concord Woman’s club appeals to all lovers of Miss Alcott to help by contributions, large or small. Contributions may be sent to Henry F. Smith. Jr.. Middlesex Institution For Savings. Concord. Mass.

Handsome Hand Bags.

Hand baps—we used to call them reticules—grew in size and beauty, and the embroidery on some of them is lovely. Very beautiful are the bead ones worked in a frame in a sort of weaving design, which makes them extra strong. The fashion for these has developed a new industry for women. whose delicate fingers make it a very appropriate work. Japanese embroideries, old brocades and other stuffs are all pressed into the service, and every woman wants many to go with her different dresses and suited to the several requirements of her life. Shopping, visiting and theater bags all hare their uses. Home are afudded with Jade. •>

Cookery points

Good Saucea. There is hardly any branch of cookery which does the cook more credit than the preparation of good saucea. To obtain the best results she rauat study rbe art both <n theory and 't> practice. A cook who can make good sauces is never at a loss id cases o 1 emergency, for a delicate sance is capable of converting a pln'u di<b of eithe* fish, flesh or fowl into a d.-unty entre* and a plainly ia»«>ked vegetable into s high class entremets de legume. In many households the preparation of such a "simple'" sauce as me»ied butter is left to an ordinary maid, an* the result is often a compound which more closely resembles underdone paste than sauce blanche. It is the little details of the kitchen—of whir** the sauce In question is a good exam-ple—w-hlch bring discredit or the reverse on both mistress and cook. When properly made ineited batter is one of the most useful sauces prepared in a modern kitchen, owing to the variety of which it is capable. The failure in making It is usually due to the fact tbat an entirely wrong method is adopted, which admits of insufficient cooking of the flour and a too scanty supply of butter. Hollandaise Sauce. There is no sauce which gives a more decided piquancy to a dish than well made hollandaise. There are several ways of preparing it but to make hollaudaise as it should be the process is not a very easy one. The following is a good recipe: Reduce two tablespoonfuls of vinegar in a saucepan with a pinch of salt and pepper until only one teaspoonful remains; draw the pan to the side of the stove, where the heat is only verv moderate, and poor in two tablespoonfuls of cold water and the yolks of two eggs (taking care that no portion of the white adheres to them) and stir with a wooden spoon, watching the eggs closely, and directly they show signs of thickening take the pan at once from the stove and stir in quickly one ounce of fresh butter. When it has quite melted place the pan again on the stove, but only for a few seconds, to reheat the mixture, then take it off and add another ounce of butter, and when It is worked in reheat as before and continue in the same way until four ounces of butter have been amalgamated with the yolks of the eggs. After adding the second and third portion of batter pour in a dessertspoonful of cold water, and when the last ounce of batter has been stirred in add another dessertspoonful of water. So doing will make the sauce less liable to cardie. When ready the sauce should be of the same consistency as a thick mayonnaise. Melted Butter. To make melted butter sauce put Into a saucepan two ounces of butter, and when it has melted add by degrees one ounce of flour and stir with a wooden spoon until a smooth paste Is formed, taking care that the roux acquires no color. Pour in by degrees half a pint of warm milk or milk and water, working the mixture quickly all the time with the spoon. Place the pan on a hot part of the stove, so tha* the sauce may boil up. and continue to stir until it is thick and creamy: then add salt and pepper and let it simmer for ten minutes. Pour it through a fine strainer into a hot sauce boat and Just before serving add a small piece of fresh butter, stirring it lightly into the sauce. In the event of the sauce being required for fish, fish broth which has been flavored with vegetables and herbs may be used with advantage in place of the milk, but in this case a tablespoonfni or two of cream should be added the last thing. Beamaise Sauce. Bearnaise sauce, which is usually much appreciated when served with a filet de boeuf, or veal cutlets, is merely hollandaise with a teaspoonful of finely chopped tarragon, a small quahtity of chervil and a few drops of tarragon vinegar added the last thing before being served. It is well to note tbat a delicate sauce of the above description would be likely to curdle if poured Into a tureen which has been made very hot Gherkin Sauce. Gherkin sauce, which is often preferred. when a sauce of this description is required, to caper sauce, may be made by adding some chopped gherkins to some good white sauce which has been sharpened with a few drops of the pickle in which the gherkins were preserved and a small quantity of tarragon vinegar.

Anchovy Saueo. For a rich anchovy sauce make half a pint of melted butter and add half an ounce of fresh butter which has been worked up with two teaspoonfuls of essence of anchovy and stir in three the color, or. if preferred, fish stock may be used instead of milk. ■■ ■ i Maitre d’Hotel Sauce. Maltre d’hotel sauce can be quickly made in the same way as anchovy sauce by substituting one ounce of maitre d’botel butter for the anchovy butterr but for this milk without water should be used for the white sauce. - I "

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

Bobby Wallace, New Manager of St Louis Americans-

The ability of Bobby Wallace to make good as the manage*- of the St Louis Browns is the popular topic of the fans in the Mound City at the present time. Bobby has always been a good ball player, and his record on the field is one that the best of the diamond stars might be proud of. His friends feel sure that he will be equally successful in his new berth, provided he is given full power over the players. Of course Wallace may not bring the Browns up from last place to chain pions in a year, but his handling of the team will pave the way for first class results in following seasons. Wallace belongs to the silent class of ball players, his methods being those of Frank Chance and Connie Mack rather than the blustery, noisy sort. He has delivered his ultimatum to the players, and the latter will have to knuckle down and d-diver the goods if they expect to get along with the new manager.

Goulding After Olympic Title. George Goulding, the famous walker, who broke the American record for walking two miles in New York recently, is pointing for the Olympic games, which will be held in Stocki holm. Sweden, in 1912. Despite the fact that Goulding is breaking records at the present time, be Is not now at the top of his form. The Toronto wonder is conserving his energy for next year, and, beyond taking long walks and going into a race now and then. Goulding is doing very little athletic work. Goulding’s hopes are all for the Swedish Olympiad. It is his intense desire to win the walking events at Stockholm in world’s record time and then retire as an undefeated champion. Strange as it may seem, Goulding does not especially fear the British walkers who will start at the coming Olympiad, but, rather, some of the I men who have recently come to the I front in Australia. Chess Men to Go Abroad. Appreciating the gbod showing made by American representatives, particularly Capablanca and Marshall, in chess tourneys abroad. Europeans are disj posed to extend the hand of fellowship ! to others of the experts of this eonnI try with a view .to their participating ' In future international congresses. The next tonrney scheduled to ho j held on the other side will be at Carlsbad. in Bohemia, next August. I Victor Tietz. president of the Carlsi bad Chess club, has written to New | York expats inquiring about Oscar I Chajes of Chicago and Charles Jaffe ; of New Tort, who finished just below Marshall and Capablanca in the recent national masters’ tournament and (tied for third and fourth prizes. It is the intention of the Carlsbad committee to invite both of these clever experts and give them an opportunity to show their ability in an international contest Thompson to Compete Again. Fred Thompson, who won the all around championships at Chicago last fall, says he is anxious to compete iagain for the title and that he will soon start training at Princeton.

“The biggest reason for causing me to wish to enter the all around meet this year is not the lure of the game, 1 but to feel that I have had a fair chance at Sheridan’s record,” says Thompson. “It is a very easy filing to argue from a qualified success in the past to an unqualified and unfounded success in file future, but I feel fair In thinking that I win be able to score 800 points.” “This win be my last attempt” says Thompson, who is a theological student at Princeton. “I do not care pmtiwi. Inly for athletics in general, but believe I can make a score in the an arounds that win better the record by a few bundled points.” Pitcher Has Jaw Breaking Name. “Bed" Nelson, the St Louis American pitcher, has • Jawbreaking name.
