A Quaint Wrap. Very curiously conceived is an evening wrap of soft satin in Ivory white, veiled with a black lace design. At a short distance ' this gives the appearance of a black and white brocade. The shape is peculiar, for it semes to be half cape and half coat. The front of this wrap is short, and on this account the little black revers appear to constitute the whole of the front. There are no sleeves, but the arms are slipped through a narrow opening bound with black velvet. This draped draped style is, however, more suitable for young women.' For summer wear' it would be delightful In crepe de Chine and nlnon. Cream of Celery Soup. One pint milk, one bunch celery, one t ablespoonful "flour, one tablespoonf ul butter, one large slice onion and small piece of mace. Boil celery In pint of water thirty minutes, boil mace, onion and milk together. Mix flour with milk and add to the boiling milk. Cook ten minutes. Wash celery in water in which it was boiled and stir In boiling water, add butter, salt and pepper and strain. It is much Improved by adding a cup of whipped cream. Broiled Cod Steaks. Three slices cut from the middle of the fish, two eggs, a few capers, oil.

vinegar, pepper and salt; clean and dry the fish, warm, then grease a gridiron; broil the streaks upon It till thoroughly done. Break the yolks of the egg into a basin, adding oil enough to make a thick cream, when these are well blended add a little vinegar, the capers chopped, a seasoning of pepper and salt, stir wel land pour this sauce over the fish. Serve garnished with lemon and parsley. Fifteen minutes to grill the steak. Homely Hint. Thin soled shoes may be made safe to wear by cutting a pair of soles from thin oilcloth such as is used for shelves and tables and placing these, smooth sides downward. In the shoes. It will then be imposlble for any dampness to penetrate to the stockings. Colors For Young Girls. White ttnd soft shades of red, verging on the Venetian reds, are fancied for girls.
