Dut * V 7 ? ot batiste, The gown itselt si finely sprinkled with pale bine this is reversed, and the grout white. This shaped band is 01 skirt being continuous with that Bleached Hair. This is pre-eminently the time for women who have been dyeing or bleaching their hair to discontinue the practice, for so much false hair can be worn now that the head can be completely covered with it during the period that the tresses are regaining their natural shade. Times without number I am asked by my correspondents how they can restore color, having changed it by dyes, and my ! only answer is by massage, brushing and , a copious use of oils. The last, perhaps j the most important, is manifestly impossible when one's own hair must show, but when false pieces are used the head j may be deluged and the oil will not show. The chief Injury done tlie hair through dyeing or bleaching is the drying of natural oils until the locks starve or become so crisp they break constantly. Oil is the best method of nourishing, as massaue is best to drive it into the pores. incidentally massage stimulates circulation. Ordinary tonics?that is, those for ordinary conditions of the scalp?will be Inefficacious. A combination of sweet almond oil. putting half an ounce of tincture of cantharides to eight ounces of the oil, is helpful. Almond oil is also nourishing. Either is to be put on every night?that is, literally poured over the scalp. It is impossible that too much oil shall go on. When the head has been wet in tbls way the whole scalp should be pressed with the finger tips, bending the knuckles to move the scalp over the skull. Each section is to be pressed f6r three or four minutes in this way. then another rubbing must be given to drive the oil into the pores. After this there must he a thorough brushing, using long bristles that will go through the hair and reach the scalp. The whole treatment will take at least ten and probably fifteen oi* twenty minutes at niglit, and it is not to be thought that all the oil will he absorbed by the scalp in this time. To the contrary, much wiil remain and the head will not look neat. Nevertheless, if necessary, it may be tied In a thin bandage for the night. Oil in quantities it must have, and in the morning if more oil can be absorbed it should be applied. The locks are then twisted closely but not tightly around the back of the head and the various switches affected by fashion are pinned on tn completely cover the natural tresses. Unpleasant as this treatment may seem, it is the only one that will expedite the return to natural eolor. To dry hair after it has been bleached is to make the j trouble worse. MARGARET MIXTER. FASHIONS AND FADS. Steel ornaments are very much used. Raffia Is used for many smart shopping bags. Rich embroidery is murh in evidence tfiis season. ' " M 4. Tussore and satin xanoroa iwnunice replace velvet. The hlh front is a distinctive feature of many dresses. In foulards pin and polka dots and biff toip spots prevail. "White belts are worn with the most eleffant lingerie gowns. The dressy colored blouse is enjoying a revival tnis season. Dots and rings are much employed In the new foulard designs. The pretty fluffy jabots are prominent in the spring neckwear. This is essentially a silk season, with foulards to the front. TaJlormade gowns of silk will be more in evidence than ever before. On Louis XII coata one sees three poeket flaps, one above the other. Taffeta has come back to us again, soft and supple, wltn a satiny sheen. Peasant frocks of white linen are decidedly smart for the small daughter. Everything In the way of changeable material will ?e mucn wuni una ocaauu. Much self-trimming is used in bias bands, cordings, shlrrlngs and the like. Vivid touches of orange and chantecler red are in evidence on black gowns. . !

Fnr Amntpnr Hnnks m w? niiiM^VMi wviwa Grape 2fruit Straws. Take the peeling from five grape fruit and after removing the hardest of the white pulp, let the sktna stand in a light brine overnight. Two tablespoonfuls salt addled to water to cover will be about right. In the morning drain, cut in neat pieces and put over the fine in freeh cold water to boil. Cook ten or fifteen minutes after it reaches the boiling point. Drain, put into fresh boiling water and cook again ten minutes after the boiling recommences. Repeat this four times, or until tender. Drain again, put with it in the saticep&n two cupfuls water and two cupfula sugar and oook until the peel is candied. Roll in sugar while hot to crystallize, and you have a most delightful addition to your afternoon tea table or bonbonnlere. Eg? Kisses. ohp ror inese ine wnues. or mree eggs j and one pint of sugar. Put the sugar in j a bowl, pour the whites over and beat 1 twenty minutes with a silver spoon. Drop ! the mixture on greased paper an Inch or more apart. Do not let them touch. Put ; on a board or Inverted bread pan and place enough layers of paper to keep the bottom from burning. Bake in a moderate oven until brown. Det the mixture rise and then bake <tv they wdl not be light. Remove with knife and put on dish. For chocolate egg kisses add before cooking one ounce of grated chocolate which has been melted. Add gently and quickly or the mixture will be too thin. Marshmallow Fudge. If your marshmallows get a little stale before using try malting marshmallow fudge. Put two cups of granulated sugar and one cup of milk In a saucepan and let the mixture come to a boil. Add one square aiwi a half of chocolate, grated, and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Cook about ten minutes, then remove from the fire and beat until the fudge gets stiff, but not so stiff that it will not pour easily. Break marshmallows into several pieces, place In the bottom of a dish and pour the fudge over them. Stewed Trout. Molt three ounces of butter in a stewpan, stir in it a tablespoonful of flour, some mace, cayenne and nutmeg, lay in the flsh after it has been thoroughly cleaned and wiped dry, shake It in the pan that it may not stick, and when lightly browned on both sides pour in three-quarters of a pint of good stock; add a small piece of parsley, one bay leaf, a piece of lemon peel and a pinch of salt; stew the fish very gently from half to three-quarters of an hour, or longer, if the flsh is very large. Dish the trout, skim the fat from the gravy and pass it through a hot strainer over the flsh, which should be served immediately. A glass of white wine added to the sauce is an improvement. Trout are also good wrapped in buttered paper and baked or broiled; if very small the best way of cooking them is to fry them whole. They should never be plainly boiled, as. though naturally a delicious flsh, they are then very insipid. Beef Patties. Half a pound of fresh rump steak, minced very small; one dessertspoonful l of chopped parsley, two tahlespoonfuls of good gravy, a. little salt and plenty of black pepper. Mix well together and press bard In a basin with a wooden spoon. Line some patty tins with good pastry, put a tablespoonful of the meat in each, cover with pastry, cut a small hole in the top, brush over with egg and bake half an hour. Footing Frills. One of the most girlish white dresses of the season is a batiste model having no other decoration than several widths of white footing. The skirt is bordered with three flounces of batiste six inches deep, each set six inches above the last. Now each scant ruffle is frilled with two widths of footing, a two-inch and a one-inch being shirred into outstanding frills. The narrower width of footing adorns the bodice, with the wider on* inhered in aa a square Dutch nacfe and used as a cuffband for the three-quarter sleeve. Black Embroidery. Ecru linens striped with black are good, and are bought by the artistic dressmaker with a view to their embroidering possibilities. Black mercerized cotton is "fast'' and will work up well in solid work upon the striped linen ground.

Prophecy Regarding the Completion i of Panama Canal. Members of the Panama canal fortifications board from the isthmus believe the canal will be finished not only on time, but even ahead of time. It is proposed to station on the isthmus a strong garrison from the mobile qrmy, wim a detachment of field artillery and prob- J ably two troops of cavalry, besides the number of coast artillery troops required for manning guns in forts at the en- i jj trance of the canal and also for the do- j ij fense of the land approaches. Particular attention will be given to ! such important parts of the canal as the j! Miraflores locks and the Gatun dam. The j i impossibility of utilising the militia ! |t makes the stationing of an adequate gar- j jj rison imperative, and a sufficiently ef-i |j fectlve medical administration must be j j present on the isthmus properly to watch over the sanitary conditions and preserve the health of the men.
