THE "CAPUCHON."
t is piquant.
The latest o? night headsear.
Its common garden nama is a hood.
And it comes in a dozen various
disguises.
But "capuchon" Ia the ter? by
which we will know it.
It is tho same which the powdered
beauty ot the Bath chair was wont to
wear.
In nearly ali cases it has a loop-like
frame which will allow*the display
ol the hair ornament.
lt Is always very roomy in the back,
Eo as to accommodate the largest o!
English buns and Grecian curls.
The plainest of the "capuchons"
are made of lace or chiffon, caught
up with a cluster cf roses or held in
place with a bow of ribbon.
But many of the most beautiful of
these hoods ?re; of tal?eta bewitch
ingly arranged around the face with
shirrings and ru?hlngs.
At any rate, the giri or matron
who wants to be effective will not dis
regard the opportunity afforded by
this glorified evening sunbonnet

AMERICAN WOMEN IN TURKEY.
White and shining, surrounded by

stands an American college for girls.
Scutari, the Asiatic suburb of Con
stantinople, is its seat.
At the . head of this college ls a
Kew England woman', Dr. Mary Mills
Patrick. The development of the
college has been her life work, says
Hampton's Magazine. It was found

Patrick, then Uttle more than a giri,
became connected wita it soon after.
Under her .management it has
grown ..rom a small beginning into
an important educational institution.

The waist consists of the fitted lin
ing, which is optional. It i3 made
with front and back portions. When

the chemisette, but when it is omitted ?

thc trimming. In case cf the net the |
lining is omitted and the thin silk is I
cut. exactly like the outside, hut when
cashmere or material of similar
weight is used, fitted foundation is
often found desirable. When fancy
sleeves are used, the plain ones are
faced to form the cuffs and the over
portions are arranged over them.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size ia two and
seven-eighth yards twenty-one or
twenty-four, two and an eighth yards

BEANS, SPANISH STYLE.
To bake beans in Spanish style,
soak two cupfuls of the white beans
over night and in the morning parboil
them with a pinch of soda and drain.
Meanwhile, fry an onion cut in slices
with a piece ot bacon. Add these to
the beans with a cupful of canned
tomatoes, two shredded chili peppers,
salt and enough hot water to cover
thoroughly. Bake : lowly, covered,
for six hours at least. The fireless
cooker is ideal for baked beans of
any kind.-New York Sun.

tripe in small pieces and put lt back

and three tablespoonfuls of olive oil,
half a teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoon,

of vinegar; stir for a few moments,
then cut the potatoes while still hot
into thc bowl; add two tablespoonfuls
of boiling water or soup stock; toss
lightly, arrange on lettuce leaves in
a bowl, sprinkle a little fine chopped
parsley over tho salad and serve when
cold. Other variations may be made
by combining chopped apple or celery
with the potatoes, adding a little
fresh cucumber chopped or pickle, or
using mayonnaise instead of the
French dressing. A bolled dressing
is also frequently used. Most cooks
prefer to mix a potato salad while the
potato is hot, as the salad keeps bet?
