COOKERY GOSSIP.

fjaopji* of an Interesting: lecturo on the Mistake* In the Kitchen.

Mrs. David A- Lincoln gave very inter«8tinK talk before the normal class in domestic science at the Young Women's Christian association.

Her subject was "Lessons from Failures," and her talk was followed by a discussion of some of the topics taken up.

Mrs. Lincoln said she had learned a great deal from the mistakes of others, even from mistakes made by old and experienced housekeepers.

The failure of many people to cultivate the sense of touch is very marked, and a delicate touch is essential to success in cooking as in other arts. The nerves in the tips of the fingers need to be kept sensitive, and this cannot be better done than by keeping the hands delicately clean. Sensitive touch is more essential io success in cooking than is sensitive taste. After touching eggs, sugar, flour, spices and many other things the hands should be washed and dried. Keeping the hands perfectly clean is also a great saving in the bard labor of the laundry, as it saves much washing of extra towels, etc.

Another sense which should be especially sensitive is that of sight. The powers of observation should be cultivated by housekeepers. In all parte of the house, as well as the kitchen, Close observation is essential to good housekeeping, and the housekeeper who always has many things going on ut once, "many irons in the fire," may make her brains save her steps oftentimes, by cultivating her powers of observation.

Another sense which many people seem deficient in is the sense of smell yet none is more needed by tho housekeeper, for the alert, sensitive nose detects quickly the sour food which needs to be thrown away, the bad odor of the cellar which needs cleaning and whitewashing, the rancid smell of badly washed and greasy pota and pans.

A delicate taste is essential, and the cook who likes sweet, strongly spiced and flavored food should be careful to put in a little less of spice and* flavor, rather thau a little more.

The advisability of working alone was next discussed. This, she considered, a good thing for young housekeepers, for in working without companionship the mind is not distracted from the work in hand, and therefore closer observation is attained, new suggestions present themselves, and experience is gained which is not so well attained when the work is mechanically done.

Among the many causes of failure in cooking is a poor fire, mauy women not understanding the draughts of tho mechanism of tho stovo or range, or how to start a good fire. Another point in which people fall is in sweeping jind dusting, which is as often begun at the bottom as at tho top. Not so much matter about tho middle of tho room, said Mrs. Lincoln, as about the corners. An excellent idea, and quite an original one, is that of having the carpet tacks set back an inch from tho molding, so that the edges of tho carpet may be raised and dust and moths detectod without removing tho carpet Tho use of wet meal, tea leaves or of salt in sweeeping, is for many seasons highly objectionable it is well to use dampened paper where there is much fluff on tho carpet.

In the matter of bread making some people lay stress upon good flour, others upon just the right proportion of yeast, others upon the kneading, yet there avo many littlo points which need close attention. In tho matter of making cake, failures more often come from too hot an oven than from too slow a fire,—Bostou Herald.

•*y Color and Age with Women. There are few women who know how to grow old grAcofully, who suit their dress to their advancing years, and the colors they wear to tho changes in their complexion. There is nothing that fades so soou as a doljcate piuk and white skin. A skin which is lovely at tweuty may be hopelessly sallow at thirty-five. The secret of a well dressed woman lies largely in her promptness to recognise her own physical defects, and to remedy them by tho judicious cut of her gowns or choice of colors,

Tho gamut of color becoming to a delicate youthful complexion is generally trying to a mature woman.

A woman may often bo far more beautiful in maturer years if she makes proper use of tho shapes and colors beooming to her than she was as a bread-and-butter miss. The delicate, roseate skin may have taken on a maturer color at thirty, or become a clear "matte" tint, which is fully as attractive if prOperiy managed, but all these changes and all changes in the color of the hair and in the figure must be careful] noted, and the dress changed to meet them. Dead leaf browns, us a rule, are becoming to a complexion that has become sallow black silk or wool is very trying, and pearl gray is uot to be thought ox. §hades of pure dark blue, without atiy puri%Jttlish cast, can bo worn.

A transparent, Mackliko net or grena5f» dine and a brocaded black satin are far more becoming than plain black silk.

Dark velvets, in rich colors, are usually becorohi.se. The color of the cytss and the hair must (also bo studied, and make so many exceptions that it is nearly impossible to give many absolute rules in such a matter as this. Dark, rich shades are generally far mow becoming to persons past the first flush of youth than delicate tints. Pearl gray and the ashes of roses drabs, with a pinkish tinge, often selected, are exceedingly trying, and shouM never be vroru except with is perfect complexion, alabaster in Its clear whiteness and delicately feshed with color. Soft, creamy laces, or some relief of cream white—in some esses dead white or black laoe ag&httt the skin are very becoming where St has taken on some of the sallow tints of advancing years.

There are few thoroughly successful boai1 ness women, chiefly because they aspire tt». something unau&in&hfo, namely—n portion in society, and as a result naturally meet rebuff, If a woman starting ift fcoslntt* will attend fe» it «areftUiy, but a money gain, there will be hat few failures. Another Me* Is to seek the admiration of woman, wot of man. tf wjflrtatt love-* -woman, so will they be admired br the other sex. There Is nothing lovable ia a woman as the gentle dig* nity which **y*» I am a woman In woman's pUm»* And the mere matter of not

seesiag admiration makes her all the mote sought after. Never try to attract attention in a.pnblic place, never speak of being a business woman in a street car or thoroughfare. Simply drawing public attention is not drawing public regard. Keep in woman's place although you are occupying a man's position. Never allow social pleasures to interfere with business during business hours always preserve a reserved appearance, always be agreeable, never discourteous if complaints are made try to repair the wrong never allow your temper to show itself, and remember the old adage, "Sugar catches more flies than vinegar."

Lastly—but not least by any means—do not try to go into business unless you are actually forced to. it there is a man in your family do not attempt to help make the living unless you are deprived of actual necessities, for men become careless, and neglect women when they see they can do so better try to live on his moderate income than increase it with your own labor, which in time decreases his admiration for you.

Help him in many ways look after his clothes that they may last longer look after the grocery and other bills necessary, and keep them in accordance with your husband's income, and you will be more cheerful help than were you to go out in business life. Have always a cheerful smile when his business goes wrong say to him, "Don't bother your head, dear, I can do with a little less." In this way the help is more satisfactory, and wjll in every case bring more happiness and lighter hearts than all the wages you may be able to earn. I apeak from experience.—Wants of* Women.

For Young Women "Who Travel.

A little advice to young ladies who may be obliged to travel alone for the first time may not come amiss. In buying her ticket for the trip a young lady should also buy a ticket for her sleeper. It is most convenient to get the berth as near the toilet room as possible. The railway official will arrange, if she does not get the entire section, that the other berth is occupied by a lady. The jporter will make up her berth whenever she desires. A lady should always provide a loose wrapper of some light, woolen material to sleep in when traveling. When retiring, remove as much of the clothing as is necessary for comfort, and hang it by the berth. It is more convenient and much pleusanter to rise early in the morning and get to the toilet room before there is too great a demand for it. No lady will monopolize the toilet room very long.

When a lady reaches a strange city, she should get into the stage that belongs to the hotel to which she wishes to go, get out at the ladies' entrance, go into the reception room, aud ask to see some one from the office. She should tell the clerk, or whoever comes, what kind of a room she wishes, ask the price of it, and give him her name to register. In dre^s and demeanor in hotels, etc., a young iady should bo scrupulously quiet.

A lady should remain in her own room and not sit alone in public parlors. A lady should send word to the office, by the bellboy, when she wishes to leave the hotel, and a porter will bo sent for her baggage, aud she will be apprised when the hotel coach is at tho door. It is usual to give a "tip" to a porter, a bellboy, a waiter or a chambermaid in return for any small serv-ice.—-Housekeepers' Weekly.

Who Is My Neighbor?

I have sometimes wondered, and probnbly every woman has, "Who is my neighbor?" When my two little ones were ill and I should have been in bed myself, 1 saw the selfish side of so many of my neighbors that I began to doubt the presence of any real neighborly feeling in any of their stony breasts. Mrs. A, Band would drop in periodically, and after waking whichever little sxifferer chanced to be asleep, and interrupting me in my weary efforts to get something done while they slept, would glance around, "taking in" ail the unfinished work and disorder, and forthwith depart, exclaiming at the door, "Now, do let me know if there's anything I can do for you," or "I may as well go, as I can't do anything for you," when they had never so much as hinted a desire to assist me in any way. In my anguish of spirit I was tempted to exclaim, "No one so blind as those who won't see."

But one morning I discovered who my real neighbor was. A sweet m&iden lady living near came in, and after a few cheerful words and a glance about afce slipped away, but soon returned clad in an immense kitchen apron, and without a word fell to work, under her magic touch dishes were washed, floors swept and beds made, while tho weary little mother was comforted beyond expression. All done she flitted away again, but many a day siuce then have I blessed her in my heart for kind words snid and Madly actions done.—M. Sandfoftl in Housewife.

Why

Literary

Women

Dress Carelessly.

"Did you see that editorial about the way literary women dress?" I asked my friend the doctor, who had dropped itt for a moment at the end of her daily round of calls. "It maintained that they do not merit the careless damnification as a lot of dowdies which they so often get at the hands of the reporter," "There may be some truth in that," she replied, "but it is certainly a fact that the woman who follows any steady occupation —let it be literature or what yon willdresses under great difficulties. A woman's wardrobe needs constant care, which can lie given ft only when her interests are entirely of the domestic order. She cannot even take to herself a helpmeet to sew on her buttons, as can man in a similar position. Of course, if a woman simply dabbles In science or literature her appearance will not suffer. She can write a sonnet one day and trim her bonnet the next but .woman's clothes require serious thought, and when that is all givm elsewhere her occupation, or rather her preoccupation, will be visible In her garb."— Kate Field's Washington.

Citing Aaittal Ffeod to tufS&i*. *", Theee is uo greater error In the management of children than that of giving them animal diet very early. To feed an infant with solid animal food before it has teeth proper for masticating, shows a total disregard of the plain indications of nature in withholding: teeth suited to this purpose until the age at which the system requires solid food. Before that time, milk, farinaceous food fcttd ntu auJ hroths afford the kind of sustenance which is at once best suited to the dlgestfve organs and to the nutrition of £••:*'system.

The method o* mincMsg and pounding meat as militate for mastication may very well for the ts hies ctogeaarian stomach has hal ... ated to coaOBQttated nutriment, bat the digestive or«3»»aor a child ate ndt adapted to the tkte pr**"ur«tion of such food, and will be disor «4 by it.-~Hair« Journal Health.

digits and onr shrinking purses.- A inan in gloves is sometimes like Puss-in-Boota —we are sure he catches no mice.* -Your sturdy man of business, capitalist or manufacturer never wears gloves. If hia hands are cold he crowds them into his pockets, but Mr. Lah-de-dah always wears gloves, just like a girl.

There is a monument in New~Orleans raised to the memory of a woman who never ovtfned a silk dress or wore a pair^ of glove* She was too busy dealing out bread so the hungry with those ungloved hands to think much of her own needs, and that is why she is Saint Margaret to day. Kid gloves, too, are sinfully expensive. Two pair of the best gloves cost as much as a barrel of flour. I do wish they could at least be discarded from the every day toilet and kept for special occasions like the perfumed gloves of the ancients, "sweet ps damask roses."*—Detroit Free Press.

Students of the Servant Problem.

Lucy M. Salmon, professor of history in Vassar college, has devoted much time during the last three or four years to a study of the domestic service problem from at scientific standpoint. The results of her investigations are embodied in a series of four lectures/which she has delivered in Boston and vicinity to very appreciative audiences. In the statistical work, which is remarkably thorough, she had the benefit of suggestions from Hon. Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor. Probably no two women in the country are doing more to untangle the difficulties in this knotty problem of do mestic service than Miss Salmon and Miss Marlon Talbot, of Boston, who teaches domestic science as an elective study among the seniors at Weilesley college.—Harper's Bazar.

Two Young Women Who Earn

810,000.

Two young ladies in this city are making a great deal of money in a very novel way. They are ultra respectable indeed, they move in excellent circles. In their youth their father taught them to play chess, and now they teach the mysteries of the game and earn between $10,000 and $15,000 a year apiece. They do not teach individuals they tutor classes, and these are generally formed of six persons, who pay never less than fifteen dollars each for a course of a dozen lessons. The sisters have classes here, in Philadelphia, and in many suburban towns they work hard, but they coin money, and they have not hurt their social standing. They live well in an elegaut apartment house up town.—New York Sun.

One of tlio First "Labor Women."

The Knights of Labor have appointed two women shirtmakers as local organizers. Women organizers in the labor movement have always been rare. One who lias gained prominence in the United States is Mrs. Leonora Barry. In the palmiest days of the order of the Knights of Labor her rich voice was familiar to every one interested in tho labor movement. She was employed in a carpet mill for yeai herself and knew the practical needs of women who tdil. A couple of years ago she married Henry Lake, a printer and district master workman of the Knights of Labor of. St. Louis, and has retired from the rostrum.—New York Letter.

A Remarkable Change in Sentiment. When Dr. .Tucobi, then Mary Putnam, sailed fromN::w York to prosecute in Paris the study lied to her in the United States, she or. iountered ridicule and opposition. Wli Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first worn to take a medical degree, began practii in New York, she could not hire a houst- in New York, so great tfits the prejudice against women doctors, and was obliged to buy one before she could hung out her modest shingle. Now there are 8,000 women ministering to the relief of the suffering with success.—New York Sun.

Blonde versus Brunette.

A statistical inquiry undertaken by Dr. Beddoe has brought out the curious fact that in England a brunette has ten chances of being wedded to nine chances if she is a blonde, and the English women are gradually losing their fairness of skin and hair in darker types, simply because meu persist in selecting the darker haired women for wives. The same thing is happening in Germany, France and Switzerland, and it would seem that the reign of the fair haired belle is doomed.—Exchange.

Professor Bohmert, of Saxony, writes that he has found women in all the Scandinavian statistical offices, and the directors of these offices declare themselves entirely satisfied with their work. In the Norwegian statistical bureau, too, women are employed, and are spoken of in the highest terms by their directors. The finance ministry has expressly stipulated that women shall be employed for a particular branch of statistical work'.

The front of the embroidered mule slipper is worked in yellow and very pale green silk on a white cloth foundation. The shoe is lined with satin to match the yellow embroidery, and the heel covered with the same material.

New Things In Hosiery.

Any color can be matched for stockings, ana solid colors are worn. The chief novelty lies in the somewhat elaborate silk clocks which are embroidered on the outside of the leg. In Paris there is a great feeling for a return to white stockings, but England would adopt such a notion slowly. There is, however, a compromise—namely, the Magpie, with white toes, heels and the, upper portion of the leg, the foot and well above the ankles black. The plan is approved of on the score of cleanliness, but it has a very hybrid appearance. However, ir, is supposed that the white is invisible. The prettiest stockings for evening wear are of silver gray silk with, openwork fronts. They go beautifully with the fashionable silver kid shoes. Shot silk stockings area good deal worn.

Embroidered wings and beaded wings, united or single, are used a great deal in millinery and for dress purposes. _______

Tudor and Henry II Capes.

The tudor cape is considered a very picturesque garment. As a matter of fact, it only looks well on a tall, slim figure alittle woman is lost in it. The Henry cape is considerably longer than the tudor and fits the figure at the back. It suits a matron better than it does a girl. The cape gen* erally worn with tailor made dresses resembles that worn by policemen in wet weather, and save for a bow at the neck has no trimming. Tfte interior, however, is of colored silk.

HOME DECORATION.

.few Embroidery Desljpss, Washable Cushion Covers, Effective Spreads, Ktc. The small floral designs known as Dresien are in great vogue at present for all kinds of fancy work. They are embroidsred on tea cloths, plate doilies, bureau sets, and even on pillow shams. These minute sprigs are scattered with irregular regularity over the surface they are "to decorate, and are embroidered in natural colors. A favorite combination is the rose, pansy and forget-me-not. This stylo of decoration is sometimes called "powdering," says The Decorjitor and Furnisher, in which are found also the following notes on decorative matters:

An effective background for the dressing table is made by filling the wall space between windows with a panel of India silk gathered full, on two rods, one just belpw the frieze, the other even with the top of the baseboard. The silk should be strained tightly from rod to rod.

Washable duck covers for sofa cushions are new. They are embroidered in white and furnished with huge eyelets for inch ribbon laciugs. The tendency of all fancy work is toward materials that can resist the hard usage of the laundry.

Bedspreads are seen in the coarse honeycomb material now so fashionable. Large patterned figures are stamped upon them and are left in the white, while tho ground is darned in solid with coarse silk or rope linen. An ordinary honeycomb spread, such as may be bought for a-dollar and a half, becomes a thing of beauty when the ground is darned in yellow rope linen, leaving the woven figures in relief.

The use of candles in dining rooms and parlors is increasing.* The soft light of candles is more agreeable to the complexion of ladies than any other light.

Rich and beautiful foot cushions are made of dyed chamois skins, embroidered with silks and tinsels. These cushions are softly stuffed with curled hair or fiber.

To Wash Luce or Wlilto Madras Curtains. After taking the draperies down shake and brush the dust from them, then soak for half an hour in warm suds. Heat half a boilerful of water, shave into it half a bar of good white soap, aud add three tablespoonfuls of clear kerosene oil. When the soap has dissolved put in the curtains. Occasionally turn them over carefully with a clothes stick. When they Beern clean remove to a rinsing water. After rinsing thoroughly dip them in another water, to which has been added a little boiled starch. This will not stiffen them much, but will giveJbhem just a little body, such as new curtiiins possess. In case a creamy tint is desired strain a little coffee into /this last water. If one is so fortunate as to possess curtain frames tho remainder of the work is simple enough. In lieu of these, however, sheets may be fastened to the carpet. and the curtains carefully pinned to these. A writer iu Good Housekeeping recommends the foregoing process, and says that Madras curtains do very well if ironed upon fhe wrong side while damp. They must first be stretched, however, and are muah more liable to tear than when pinned to a sheet and allowed to dry without ironing Madras curtains containing colored figures frequently launder quite as well as plain ones. It will be well to test a small piece when possible beforehand, so that in case'the colors run you can take thefn to a professional cleaner who understands the dry cleaait .'. process.

French Pancakoo*

Make very smooth batter with half a pound of fine flour, six eggs beaten till light, two teaspoosfuls of brandy, one of good salad oil, pinch of salt, a grate of lemon rind (or a few drops of vanilla,.if preferred), and a pint and a half of milk, mixing it till of tht? consistency of good cream. Melt a tiny piece of butter in the frying pan, then pour in tho batter till it covers the bottom of the pan thinly. The under side will be done in a minute or so then shake the pan to loosen the pancake, and toss it lightly over on to the other side. The batter should stand for a couple of hours before it is used. This is a French recipe, and, though a little troublesome, is pronounced by an experienced cook to be very good.
