To Preii Old Silk. As Bilk is very much to the fore again it should be borne in-mind that it must never be Ironed, as the heat takes all the life out of it and makes it seem stringy and flabby. If, however, you wish to press out old bits of silk and ribbon, use an iron only moderately hot and place two thicknesses of paper between that and the silk. ... . FOR THE GIRL GRADUATE. Tlte Frock and Pretty Details of the All Important Toilet. The illustration and a number of sug gestions from Tbe New Idea Magazine will give any prospective girl graduate correct information in regard to what is good style fqr her gown aud all the pretty but perplexing details of her toi let. Anything elaborate or especially rich and showy is considered bud form In graduating frocks. They are modeled somewhat after the plan of the debu tante’s gown, simple and in a fashion suitable for lota of summer time wear. The college girl graduate comes forth In a gown somewhat dressier than the high school girl or the girl In an exclu sive private school. A lovely new gown for a college girl te of tine white point d’esprit trimmed with renaissance lace and white satin ribbon. The skirt is full, as are many of the newest skirts of gauzy stuffs, and worn over a plain silk drop skirt lining. The full yoke and sleeves are of white chilVon. The only touch of color is in the bunch of pink rosebuds worn in the hair and repeated at the front of the skirt flounce, a pretty fad of a New York girl graduate. Where there is to be a week of festivities a semidressy cape of lightweight wool, silk and wool or silk muslin is desira ble. At a private school, no matter how fashionable, a very simple frock ap propriate for a summer afternoon is selected. Sweet ■ 16 is usually about the age limit of the high school graduate; hence her gown is tlje simplest and most girl ish of all in-effect. White ktd slippers and white open work stockings may be worn and are dear to the iRkirt of most yonng girls, but the troth is they are not nearly so smart and correct as black silk or lisle thread stockings and black patent leather ties, slippers or pumps. Gloves may or may not be worn, as the class shall decide. Tlie hair will be worn low this spring by all the fashionable girl graduates FOB THE COLLEGE GIBL. and surely adorned, but not in any set way, becomingness being tbe only con sideration. The new hair bow, is of white satin and only suited to fresh young faces. A single crush rose nestled in the front of the pompadour is a charming fad of some New York girls. Jewelry of all kinds is strictly ta booed, except the class ring and a use ful stickpin or two. Large bridelike bunches of flowers are not carried. The proper thing is a moderately small bunch of tiny pink rosebuds, violets, heliotrope or forget menots with maidenhair ferns and rib bon or fine cord and tassel. No colors in graduating attire, not even the faintest pastel tints, if you would be really in style. If the gown must be inexpensive, se lect dotted swiss or cotton silk muslin or a dimity. Cooking School Knowledge. Good Housekeeping furnishes these items: • Dip smelts or fish of any sort in lem on juice when you wish to keep the flesh white. If you keep parsley wrapped up in a piece of wet cheesecloth, you can keep it for several weeks without spoiling. When molding a cream mixture or gelatin mixture, have a mold just the right size. It is not so apt to break when turned out as if the mold is too large. A cup of butter means 16 table spoons. When we measure butter in a cup, we measure Unpacked solid. A spatula is very nice for turning cakes, omelets and small fish. Never leave a lemon or any acid jelly in a tin mold overnight, because i{ spoils the taste. Agate or earthen ware molds are best. If the gelatin in an earthen mold does not come out readily at first, set it in a dish of hot water for a minute oi wet a dish towel and set the dish on it/ Be careful that it doesn’t stay too long. One cup of sauce means one cup of liquid, regardless of the amount ot thickening and butter that you use. A Point In Pieraakingr. In making a custard pie remember that the baking is an important item. Experience may teach one just the point at which to interrupt the cook ing. The best way is to watch the pie and remove it from the oven the mo ment the custard reaches the boiling point. A custard pie is spoiled if al lowed to boil in the oven. Maple Sngar Biscuit. A cupful of maple sugar grated or cut in bits stirred into an ordinary quick biscuit dough will give a hovel sweet cake. The biscuits are then cut as usual and baked quick. The sugar melts during the cooking and glazes the outside. GOOD GROOMING. The Modern Art of Carlas For Hi Beaatlfylas the Complexion. In nine cnees out of ten a beautiful skin depends upon cleanliness, not little dabs of warm water once or twice A. day, but vigorous cleansing with brush or coarse cloths and pure soap and plenty of water, warm and cold. Every morning for cleansing and re laxing the muscles of the face use warm water, quite warm, and a Turk ish toweling cloth. If the skin is oily, add a very little pure soap. Rub the face gently up,, never down. The mus cles of the face naturally tend down /a V ’ RUB GENTLY UP, NEVER DOWN. ward, and to rub it down only helps the wrinkles that you wish to prevent. Follow the warm bath with a dash of cold water, and you need not fear go ing out in the air. Always cleanse the face before dressing for dinner or the evening. If fatigued, use hot water, pat dry and apply a good cream. Rub It in gently, always rubbing up. Leave it for ten minutes and then wipe off with a soft cloth and dust the face with a fine pure powder. This will give a soft pearly bloom and will also prevent the pores from becoming clogged with dust and impure matter. If the face is oily, bathe with hot wa ter at bedtime and apply alcohol with a little water. Blackheads are caused by dust lodging in enlarged pores. They can be prevented by careful bathing with hot water and a little olive oil and the application of alcohol to reduce the size of the pores. An occasional use of a cream will relieve any roughness which the frequent use of alcohol may cause. The principle of all this, says The New Idea Magazine, In which the illus tration and advice are given, is this: Keep the skin free from Impurities, close the pores by the use of astrin gents, soften and feed with a cream and protect with a pure powder. The usual articles on good groomiDg for women present such a limitless ar ray of undertakings that women busy in society or offices or at home read them with resignation instead of hope, knowing that however desirable a beautiful skin or lovely hand or luxuri ous hair may be they cannot be pur chased by the sacrifice of hours of val uable time. The actual truth is that but a very few minutes every day are necessary and just the most inexpensive of out fits. A Home Custom Revived. A very economical and attractive cus tom is being revived among the dainty housewives in the use of the bread board on the table. These boards the ladies make attractive with poker deco rations of wheat heads, oat sprays and rye tops. These decorations are only put upon the beveled edge, the top be ing left clear and white for use. It re quires some practice to cut the bread neatly, thus offering a new accomplish ment to the lady presiding at the table, remarks Good Housekeeping. Shad and Roc. Planking is thought to be the best method of cooking shad, but to be prop erly done an open fire is needed, al though the oven is often used. The fish is nailed skin side down to a two inch thick, well seasoned oak plank propped in front of the glowing coals PLANKED SHAD. and basted from time to time with sea soned butter until the flesh draws away from the backbone. A majority of people prefer the roe when fried. For this it should be care fully washed, drained, rolled in flour, sprinkled with salt and slowly sauted in a little hot suet or drippings. This frying may be preceded by parboiling. When so prepared, it can be easily sauted in the chafing dish.—Table Talk. Purs In tlie Spring-. Furs should not be worn on hot days in spring, as the moth makes an early appearance and lays its eggs secretly and swiftly, and the eggs may be hatched after the fur is put away. Keep them iu a very dry place, as damp is fatal to furs. Furriers wrap them in bags of stiff brown paper and paste .the ends securely up, but they require constant taking out and shak ing. Derrick is t... -.<.• u crane used ie shifting and lifting heavy Weights. It i* said to be so called from one Theodorie who, while serving at Cadiz as a soldiej under Robert, earl of Essex, was doomed to death for some crime, but pardoned by his commander on condition that he would hang 2d other malefactors. Such are the revolutions of fate that subse quently he was employed in London to behead Essex, tie mas who had saved his Ufa. ' IjATEST fuenituee. FASHIONABLE AND BEAUTIFUL WASH STANDS AND DRESSERS. Cut Glass Fitments the Newest Idea For Both Pieces—A Handsome Sil ver Ash Dresser—Pine Washstand In White and Green. For true harmony to exist in the fur nishings of a room the dresser and washstand should match. Before the brass bedstead was introduced the bed stead was also supposed to form one of the set, but the brass model is so cleanly, so bright and attractive that its coming cannot be too heartHy wel comed, and, after all, in a way the A SWELL FRONT DRESSER. brass handles and hinges on the other two articles bring them into relation ship with it. Following the same rule of harmony, The Designer, the source of the illus trations, advises as follows: Whatever colors appear In the fit ments or decorations of the dresser should be repeated in those of the wash stand. If the cover, pincushion, etc., of the fermer are pink and white, for instance, the toilet set should be of pink and white china, and if pretty lit tle silver articles are laid out on the dresser top the metal should appear in the mountings ef some of the boxes, brushes, etc., on the washstand. One of the prettiest and newest ideas is to have the toilet set and the dresser fitments of cut glass, even the wash pitcher, which is in large size, and the bowl or basin being of the transparent substance, those who are using the sets declaring they are no more likely to break than fine china. Very little cut ting is used on the pitcher and basin, both appearing as if made from clear ice, but the smaller pieces of the set are more elaborately decorated, the powder box, sceut bottles, pin trays, etc., of the dresser matching, them in cutting. On the newer washstand sets of por celain but little gold appears in the dec oration, rather large floral designs in monotint or in natural coloring being preferred. Japanese, Moorish and Mexican wares in brilliant coloring and queer shapes are also in favor, but these savor more of oddity than of daintiness. No lace or embroidered covering ap pears on either stand or dresser, the highly polished wood being rightly deemed handsomer than any fancy cov ering could be. Protection can be' given and the polished wood displayed at the same time by having small mats of fine linen, Irish crochet or renais sance lace of just large enough size to go under the different articles. A very handsome dresser is of silver ash, with swell front drawers and a mirror of sufficient size to give a full length reflection. This dresser stands' quite high from the floor on spindle legs; thus the shelf between the rows of drawers can do duty as a dressing table. This dresser is a model much in vogue at present and is a particularly WHITE ENAMEL WASHSTAND. serviceable one when the room for which it is intended does not contain a cheval glass or pier mirror. The washstand to the right is of hard pine, enameled white, and has a curtain back of pale green silkoline, the color harmonizing with the furnishings of the room. The washstand in this case forms a set with the dresser and the bed, the former being of hard pine, white enameled, and the latter of iron, also white enameled. The carpet and curtains of the room are green and white._ BUAlib OF STREET AN!*, WATER OOIIITlISSIOIN EH S (Official Proceedings.'» (Continued.) On motion the Board took a recess for five minutes.
