DRAWING ROOM DRINKING.
Tlie Love of Strong Drink Increasing I
Among l.iiglmb Women.
Not long ago a strango scene took
place tn a pretty garden not a hundred
miles from London. The tree-shaded
lawn war scattered over with seats, with
here and there a bright colored Persian
rug for tho special behoof of any guests
who ohjeiyi to open air amusements on
accounfbf the “ damp grass. ” To some
minds grass is always damp. It was
early in the afternoon, and the only ten¬
ants of the garden were Uie servants,
who were arranging refreshments upon
some rubles under the trees. They
3eemed full of nods and becks, and whis¬
pers of apparently mysterious import
passen u* long them. A carriage drives
up to roliid tV gate, ami two ladies, entering,
look for-their hostess. The ser
ranu'YyY. “lu.vewaeipftled them Sort go in
search of their mistress, and a mo¬
ments afterward a young and beautiful¬
ly dressed woman issues from the house,
.her face deeply flushed, her eyes half
closed, and her gait uncertain.. Just at
this fiionient another carriage drives up,
a gentleman aud lady being the garden occu¬
pants. They, too, enter tho
gate, and advance toward tho house
across the lawn. As figure they approach their the
uncertain, swaying of hostess
and they the lqpk lady at each other low significantly, voice: “1
says m a
was afraid of this. Where can Mr. X.
be to allow her to lie seen iu this
state?” The interpretation of those
wild looks, that disordered hair, and
those meaningless words, is that Mrs.
X. is intoxicated, though not sufficiently
so to be quite helpless. She wanders
about among her guests, her condition,
however, being so palpable, so unmis¬
takable, that tho majority laugh and
titter, while the friendly few painful pity, though
they condemn her. Tho scene
was ended by the arrival of her husband,
whose look of misery, as he led his wife
on his aim through tho groups of gayly
dressed people into the house touched
even the laughers with pity.
This is no exaggeration of facts. Jt
is, unfortunately, a scene from real life,
aud, 1 fear, not an uncommon one. be
The love of strong drink appears to
. increasing among the educated women
of our day. During the season just
past, instances of this were so frequent
as to lead to the conjecture that a kind
of epidemic of drink was pervading
those classes of society in which culture,
position and the possession of eyery com¬
fort of Ufa would appear to bo a suffi¬
cient guarantee against so degrading a
vice. “Society” ladies, in fact, live
too much upon excitement not to suffer
from tho inevitable reaction. For a
few months in the year they endure con¬
tinued fatigue the in treading the social
mill, and for remainder they are a
prey to ennui. They try the first dose of
chloral as an experiment. “ My eyes
look so dull and heavy this morning:
So-and-so says chloral is such a capital
thing ; I think I’ll try it.” In this
case, as in that of rouge, it is not “ the
first step that costs.” 11 is easy enough.
But from being an experiment it be¬
comes a practice, and from a practice
it develops into a necessity. It is no
longer servant, but master. My lady
has her half pint of champagne about
an hour after breakfast, another ®t
luncheon, a glass of liquor instead of
afternoon tea, a regular sequence of
wines at dinner, and brandy in her post
prandial coffee. Her chloral in her
dressing room is as permanent arid
dispensable an anangenu-nt as hei bath,
and much sooner mis ed from its usual
jrosition tha n her B i ble.— L' uidon I rul.h.

ilUt) TO PKEP.UiK A STEAK.
We hear a great deal about that
“abomination called fried steak.” 1
will tell you how to make tough steak
tender, and how to fry it so that it will
bo juicy. Do not pound it, tether with
a rolling-piii or a potato-masher, or even
with that jagged piece of nmjal or crook
cry ware which house-furnishing dealers
will try to delude you into buying. If
you do pound it you will only batter its
libers and let out all its juices. Pour in¬
to the bottom of a dish three tablespoon
fuls each of vinegar ami salad-oil,
sprinkle on them half a sallspoonful of
pepper ( nd a tablespoonful of chopped
parsley, if you have it). Do not use any
salt. The action of the oil and vinegar
will bo to soften and disintegrate the
lough liber* of tlie meat without draw
jug out its juices. The salt would do
that most effectually and harden the
libers. You may add a teaspoonful of
chopped onton, if you like its flavor.
Lay the steak on the oil and vinegar for
three half or lour hours, turning it over eve¬
ry hour, and then saute, or half-fry
it quickly ; season it with salt after it is
cooked, and serve it with a very little
fresh liying-pan. butter, or If with follow the gravy from the

now to nnoiL A steak.
Do not season it before cooking, as
the action of sntt iqion its cut libers is
to extract their juices. Have the Are
hot and clvar, tho gridiron perfectly
clean, and after the meat lias been put
upon It, tip it toward the back of the
tiye hold (unless the dripping;)); It is provided otherwise with a ledge the fat
dropping burn directly under the meat Will
up and Ida ken it witli smoke.
Expose one side of the meat to
the fire, as close as it is possible to
bold it without burning, until the sur¬
face is so completely seared that the
juices do not escape ; then turn fhe moat
and carbonize or sear the other side ; af¬
ter that finish cooking it at a little dia
datice from tho coals, until it lias reached
the desired point. To ascertain this do
not cut into the meat, or you will let
out the juices; press your lingers upon
its surface, lighlly and quickly; if it is
quite rare, the fibers wiil still be so elas¬
tic as to spring up quickly the instant
the pressure is removed ; if it Is medium
rare, tho fibers will be so far hardened
that they wilt partly resist the pressure
at first, and when the fingers are re¬
moved, will rise wiifscem again very slowly ; if it
is well done, it quite lli'Uimn
der tho touch, and will not rise again
when the lingers are lifted. In turning
the meat do not slick a fork into it, be¬
cause the holes made by the prongs af¬
ford an outlet for the Juices ; use a
double gridiron or broiler, so that you
can turn that and the meat at once ; if
tho gridiron is one of the open kind,
take the meat between the blades of two
knives or spoons to turn it; or use steak
tongs, if you have such an instrument.
Showing Their Stockings.
Ladies who want to have their feet
always dressed in the latest and most
expensive s„yIoof stockings pay as high
as one hundred and twenty-five dollars
per dozen for them. The embroidered
ones, which are, of course, the most ex¬
pensive, are obviously meant to be seen,
as a lady we ring such may ofte.n be ob¬
served sitting in u crowded piazza with
one leg (the use of the word “ limb ”
would be superfluous in the case of so
obvious an extremity) thrown over the
other, and the uppermost foot stuck out
as if for inspection. Again, a wearer both of
dainty slippers and hose extends
feet far beyond the cover of her skirts
as she sits where he who passes may no*
lice. Nor is this peculiar vanity con
fined to one sex. A man who has had
for .several yeais abundant opportune
ties for calling observing such demo istrations the
has, in tny attention to fact
that many men pay extravagant prices
for ho^wlien fancy stockings, told invariably me to

their pantaloons a hitch Ix-low the
