MOURNING FASHIONS.

EVEN WIDOWS HAVE ESCAPED THE

TYRRANY OF CRAPE.

For Winch Women Are Noted.

It is a grave rciigionrt and philosophic question whether we whu believe that all things are ordered for onr good have any right to put on the habiliments of woe. But fashion ordains mourning dress. and her followers umst wear it. One of the best arguments in favor o!

JIOITRN'INO COSTUME FOR YOUNG LADIES,

the custom is its protection against thoughtless remarks. Seeing a friend in mourning, one understands the case at onco and guards against questions and allusions which might give pain.

Mourning is neither so deep nor worn for

Ions time as formerly. The

tyranny of crapo is over, and unless she chooses even a widow may mourn without it. Physicians so utterly condemn crapo veils as inimical to health and eyesight that now in this country they are 'in nearly every case replaced by nun's veiling, a soft, pretty material, which costs less than crape and lasts three times as long. Even that is hurtful to the eyes, and if the face must be covered it should be done with it bit of plain brnssel's not or illusion.

For first mourning plain lusterless goods, like henriettu cloth or bombazine, should le used. In the second stage, or what some witty writer has called the condition of mitigated affliction, woolens and lusterless silks can be worn, and by way of trimming tho dull finished jot can be used.

FASHIONABLE MOURNING.

Tho length of time for which mourning should be worn is not really arbitrary, but two years is the term usually consid ©red proper for a widow to wear black, although there aro women who for reasons best known to themselves keep it on for tho remainder of their lives. For a parent it should also be worn two years for a sister or brother, one year or longer for other relatives, a lesser time, according to the action in the matter of other members of tho family.

Tho street dresa illustrated is a combination of plnin henrietta cloth and heavy crape cloth. Tho sleeves and skirt trimmings are of crape cloth, the small pelerine and cuffs of coque feathers.

The two styles of mourning bonnets illustrate tho graceful disposition of the veils. Clasps or pins for holding the veils in position are found in dull jet and in the jet composition which imitates crape.

Homemade Candy*

Butter Scotch—Boil A cnpfnl of sugar, a cupful of molasses, half a cup of butter, tablespoonfol of vinegar and onefourth teaspoonful of soda. Stir frequently and lis soon as the sirup will snap between the teeth after being dipped in cold water remove from the fire and flavor to taste. Pour upon a buttered tin one-fourth of an inch thick and when nearly cold mark off in strips or squares and wrap in paraffin paper. This is excellent.

Lemon Drops—Boil a pound of sugar, a cupful of water and one-half teaspoonfnl of cream of tartar until a little dipped into cold water will snap between the teeth without a suspicion of stickiness. Remove from the fire and add tartaric acid to the taste and flavor highly with the oil or essence of lemon oil is preferable if obtainable. Drop the candy from a spoon upon buttered tins to form drops or pour into an oiled pan and mark off in squares.

Old Fashioned Molasses Candy—Pour into a large kettle a quart of molasses boil for one-half hour over slow fire, stirring to prevent it from boiling over. When a little dropped in water becomes brittle, add one-half teaspoonful soda, stir quickly and pour out to cool turn in the edges as they cool, and when cool enough to handle pull until it becomes a golden color.

These last three recipes make candies that grow very sticky if exposed to the air after the sirup is cold, but which will keep indefinitely if put in glass jars or tin boxes, with tops securely fastened to exclude the air.

oiled cloth wiped around the edge of a kettle in which sirup is boiling, making an oily streak just below the rim, will prevent its boiling over, and must be looked to in candies which cannot be stirred.

Sentimental Girls.

An idea which will commend itself to many, because a little uncommon, is to choose some suitable device and to embroider it as a sign or mark, instead of the usual initial or monograms on table

HANDKERCHIEF CORNERS.

linen and bedding for the thousand. Girls with flower names, as Lillie, Daisy, Marguerite, can work a tiny spray of their particular symbol in one corner of all their handkerchiefs in the style of those in illustration. A secondary advantage of these designs is that they are somewhat simpler for an inexperienced needle woman to manage than the letters, which are not very easy for a beginner to render with the necessary accuracy and evenness.

Not Everlasting.

Do not expect everlasting wear out of any umbrella, no matter of what cost, and in the next place treat it well if you wish long service. It looks neater to carry it furled on the street, but it should be unfastened and shaken out when not in use to prevent the folds from splitting. An occasional coat of varnish over the ferrule end will save it from looking shabby, as the stick will get marred there. When wet, dry partially with the umbrella closed and resting with the handle down. Clean a black umbrella, when spotted with mud. with ammonia and water.

Neodlo Books.

New needle books for dainty workbaskets have the covers of white or colored kid or leather. They are circular in shape and embroidered with gold thread and cord or with embroidery silk. The design upon the oovers is often a large flower outlined or in long and short stitch. The edges have a cord of rope silk or gold or are buttonholed with the deep stitches set far apart. The usual flannel loaves are inside the covers, which are lined with silk. Other books for needles are made upon the forms of bisque dolls having heads about the size of an English walnut and outstretched arms. The upper part of the body is fitted with a simple waist of satin ribbon about 2 inches wide, and two long pieces of the ribbon are continued to form the skirt.

The ribbons aro not sewed together at the sides, and beneath them are half a dozen flannel leaves of the same length and a littb narrower. The flannel leaves are buttonhole stitched to finish the edges.

A Word on Hat*.

Of hats there are so many different shapes, it is difficult to tell which will prevail. They are certainly smaller than those of last summer, but while some have a straight narrow border, others have comparatively wide and fancifully twisted in and out brims. Birds, wings and feather aigrets, combined with large bows of ribbon, are the styles of trimming most in favor* As for capotes, they remain quite small, but are trimmed very high en panache.

Tomato Soup.

This is a capital soup if made exactly according to recipe. Take one quart can of tomatoes. Put them in a stewpaa, with one pint of water. Put in the frying pan one generous tablespoonful of butter, and when a rich brown add an onion cut in fin© slice®. When the onion is colored, stir into the butter one table* spoonful of flour. Add then the tomatoes, ft tabkspootiful of sugar, on? teaspoo&ful ©f swlt and pepper to taste. Put eQ on the fire and boil slowly for half an hour. Oder with a little browned sugar and strain. Before sending tr» the table cut some brred. not too fresh, in small, square pieces, fry them in hot lard and then add one minute before serving

Cam uf House Plants.

Not only do the plants which are ready to grow need fresh soil, but they are in a condition which makes it much easier to repot them than it will be later on. They have not made that vigorous and tender growth which is easily damaged by handling. And another reason for early repotting is that the checks which a disturbance of the roots always gives in a greater or less degree, according to the care or lack of it, which governs operation is slighter at this period it will be later on, because the plant is only beginning its season's work, therefore is not seriously interfered with, while a late repotting, after active growth is under way, will always give it a check, from which it kikes it a longtime to recover, and such checks ought always to be avoided if possible, and especially at a time when they are likely to tell disastrously on the development of the plant.

It is like checking tho development of a child at the time when we ought to do all in our power to assist that development, rather than interfere with or retard it in the slightest degree. So repot your plants now if possible. If it cannot be done, furnish them nutriment by giving liquid manure a} least once a week. Those making a strong growth should have it twice a week in liberal quantities, but not very strong. If liquid manure is not obtainable, apply "Food For Flowers" according to the directions which accompany each package. {r

Steak Broiling.

Steak for broiling should not be thin or it will be dry and hard. At the butcher's ask them to cut your steak threefourths of an inch thick, cut off the suet, grease the broiler and have it hot, lay the steak on the broiler on abed of hot coals, turn the broiler often. When done, remove to a hot platter, sprinkle wit salt and spread butter over it. Serve immediately.

The House Doctor.

Fever blisters, when they are allowed to develop, are very painful and most disfiguring, and yet they can easily be cured in the beginning by keeping a ball of saltpeter on hand, at their first appearance moistening the ball with water and rubbing it on the spot.

Hot water is good for sprains. Raw oysters are good for hoarseness. Turpentine is good for lockjaw, Raw eggs are good for a cut. Salt water is good for falling hair. Quicklime in water is good for poison. Tar on sugar is good for weak lungs. Hot lemonade is good for colds. Sugar moistened with vinegar is good for hiccough.

Hot milk is good as a stimulant. Milk puddings and stewed fruit are good for bilious dyspepsia.

When giving medicine to a baby, hold the point of the spoon against the roof of the mouth it will then be almost impossible for the child to choke or eject the fluid.

Don't Spoil the Soup.

Appreciation of a good dinner is often destroyed in advance by a heavy soup. Many hosts and caterers make this mistake. The prelude to a course dinner should be a thin, clear soup, and portions less than enough to float a yacht should be served.

Tlio Swell Jacket.

In jackets the great thing seems tb be to have the shoulder cape, if not the sleeves, of a contrasting material or color, and on this choice depends your reputation for good taste. When in doubt, take tan or champagne color, which is lighter and very str^ring, and make the cape of black satin or green velvet. Even a plain black jacket is dignified with styl-

A STYLISH JACKET.

ish distinction whon surmounted with pagoda frills of black satin, fine and lustrous. Another distinguishing feature of the new jacket is its full skirt, which is not plaited, but looks as if it must be. so full does it hang! That flare is the indisputable trademark of the high sartorial art. Yon can't buy it on a bargain counter you can't duplicate it at a cheap place. The coat in the cut is a particularly dressy affair of pale green cloth, with sleeves and collar of satin. The collar is not t.laitcd citfcrr. but cut from a circle with the flaring edge. A fine finish of jet edges it. and the lining is of at in or at

Millinery.

A noticeable feature is that most of the hats and bonnets are tilted far back on the head.

Rabbit's and donkey's eara,are seen on many hats. The small bonnets have the' sides elongated into points which reach behind the owns.

Most of the hats have distinct and sensible crowns, the flat plateau being seldom seen.

Military effects are the rage, the colonial shapes being paramount in round hats. Tb^ tfeiee cornered jaunty effects areespedally becoming to youthful feces. The military idea is «ur$ed out in the trimming, which consists of a stiff cockade of coqtieV. plumes and an aigret or several black ostrich tips, with perhaps one or two curling coqnettislily beneath tfeebrim.

Lobster'd New burg.

A good recipe for lobster di Newburg: For six or eight persons, use the meat from a lobster or lobsters weighing about four pounds, 4 tablespoons of butter, 2 of brandy. 2 of sherry. 2 teaspoonfuls of salt, one-fourth of one of pepper, half pint of cream, the yolks of 4 eggs and a slight grating of nutmeg. Cut the meat of the lobster into small, delicate slices. Put the butter on the stove in a frying pan, and when it becomes hot put in the lobster cook slowly for five minutes, then add the salt, pepper, sherry, brandy and nutmeg and simmer for five minutes longer.

Meanwhile beat the yolks of the eggs well and udd the cream to them. Pour the liquid ff the cooking mixture and stir constuu'-ly for one minute. Take from the fir© and pour into a warm dish. Lobster di Newburg may be served as a fish course at dinner or luncheon. A garnish of triangular bits of puff paste may be added, or the lobster may be served on toast. No mode of cooking gives a more delicate or elegant dish. Special care must be taken to stir the mixture constantly after the cream and beaten yolks are poured over the lobster until the frying pan is taken from the fire.

Mrs. Clark, in a magazine paper on "The Woman's Club as a University," tells "that an essayist has lately said of this kind of organization that, useful and benign as its mission had hitherto been, its great work has not yet appeared—that it is doubtless only an instrument for the prosecution of those objects which are dearest to the race—the gymnastics which are making woman strong for the smithy work and heavy lifting which are all around us to be done, woman's philanthropises, woman's bookwriting, woman's opera composing, women's dress reform and best of all women's home making and women's child rearing, which are now, broadly speaking, so inadequately and unsuccessfully managed—these are only a few of the things which will be done better and better in more and more homes every year because of the work of the woman's club."

Mr. James Lambert, of New Brunswick, IlliuoiB, says: "I was badly afflicted with rheumatism in the hips and legs, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It cured me in three days. Iam all right to-day and would insist on every one who is afflicted with that terrible disease, to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm and get well at onco." For sale by all druggists,
