FAIK WEATHER SHOPPERS.
According to the staleuicnts of New
York retail shop keppers there is an
enormou* falling oil in the number of
thsir customers ou wet days. Some
of them even go so far a* to say that
if It were practicable for them to do
so it would ha money in their pockets
to olose their establishments whenever
H rains or snows. New York women,
•hey say, have become so fastidious
that they will not go out of doors
when there is danger of getting their
skirts covered with mtid or havlug

THE CROCHJBTER’S COMPANION.
A hollow ball of sterling silver,
oomposed of hemispheres hinged to¬
gether, which may be opened like a
wadclj case, a ring of the same mator
toJ to eucircio the wrist, and a chain
obuneoting the two, are appropriately
called the "Orocheter's Companion.”
Die ball is intended to contain a spool
of silk on a spindle, aud is perforated
to allow the throud to be unwound.
By mean* of the ring and the chain
the ball is suspended from the lady’s
wrist while she is engaged in fancy
work, and the silk is thus protected
from contact with the attire, from
tangling and from being temporarily
mislaid.—Jeweller’s Weekly.
MATRIMONY SPOILED THE COOKING.
A cooking club iu Washington was
broken up by matrimony in les* thau
• year. Eaoh member in turn orderod,
oooked and served a dinner. Each one
bad tho privilege of inviting a man to
judge tho cooking. Every man in¬
vited fell In love with a oook.
One girl was a "raging belle.” Sbo
knew the secret of oooking a good
beefsteak. Instead ot broiling it over
the fire she oooked it under. The side
the broiler wa* put iu was not unlike
e drawer with tho coals on top.
This Is tho propor way to oook a
beefsteak. Tho juice, instead of being
drawn down, as it is when the steak
Is broiled over tho coals, is drawn up
and the meat is unotuous aud pala¬
table.
To win a sweetheart with a beef¬
steak is not poetic, but the aftermath
is.—[New York Commercial Adver¬

DOUBLE-FACED FLANNEL. ,
Double-faced flannel is used by
some of tho best drossmakera to give
an elegant "hang” aud body to trained
evening dresses of silk and brocade.
This lining is sown in with the lower
portions of each skirt seam, so that it
falls evenly with the train. This lin¬
ing is then covered with thin silk. A
Tory slender young lady recently
orderod a number of uncommonly
handsome gowns made at au up-town
establishment, these to be forwarded
to Denver, Col. Throe of these in
priucesse form, made of bengalino
end faille silk, wore lined from throat
to hem with Shaker flannel. Tho pur
eheser’s figure, never pretty, was by
this Invisible aid rnado to look most
round and girlishly graceful. Feeling
the oold very keenly, this unusual
lining was suggested by tlio young
lady herself—a lining that to very
many would be most 'objectionable.—
[New York Post.
SKIRTS.
Double skirts are with us, although
they are not generally received with
enthusiasm. However, some leaders
of fashion are adopting them. Skirts
are no longer drawn tight in the try¬
ing fashion that they have been worn
aoross the frout of tho figure. These
looser, fuller skirts are certaiu to pre¬
pare the way for the overdresses that
are not vet accepted but ave certain to
be a little further ou. With the fuller
skirts are beginning to be used, al¬
though as yet surreptitiously, little
bustle cushions filled with hair. In
deed those wise in matters fashionable
declare that the Uoopakirt will be with
us within the next eighteen mouths.
In fact au evening dress by Worth re¬
cently brought over by a lady who has
been sojourning in Paris, which will
soon be seen at a fashionable function,
is quite full enough as to the skirt to
be worn over a farthingale. It is of
amethyst velvet aud is confined at the
waist by a cincture of iridescent jew¬
elled passe meuterie. The foot of the
skirt is finished with a simm* frlii and
the bodice is eat with & V book and

talk much more thau boy*, ao that
their stock of uncouth words is in
more frequent use. It is also larger.
If a boy were a mine of slang his tac¬
iturnity would keep it concealed from
all but a few of hi* chum*. His in
ventSous are confined to a small circle
ami his opportunities of borrowing

with the girl. The loquacity of her
associate*, aided by ber own, spreads
ami multiplies slang with the greatest
tapidity. She is more sociable. At
school She i* "thick” with a done,, and
gathers iu all the dozen know. And,
beside*, says the same authority, girls
are so reckless in the ubg of language
that they givo a slangy character to :
good English.
With the girl at the period of gig
glehood every good tiling is "perfect¬
ly” so. She "never” does this and
She "always” does that. Sometimes
she "feels hateful,” hut it is oftener
some one else who is "perfectly hor.
rid.” Nearly everything is "awful,”
Such are some of the chargos thii
abominable person brings against the
sweet young creatures. Another au¬
thority flatly contradicts them all and
says the boy is the sum of ail villain¬
ies. The words he prefers, it is as¬
sorted, ore so tinged with profanity
that lie cannot use them at home, and
it is thus only that he gets his reputa.
lion for freedom from slang. Who
can settle the dispute? We are of
opinion that injustice is douo to the
girls. We are confident also that few
boys are as bad as represented. It is
possible that the so-called "authority”
has been judging the whole world
from his few unfortuuato associates.

FASHION NOTES.
Very large buckles with rhinestones
are worn on house shoes.
White and gold china is again fan¬
cied for dinner sets, and is very much
used.
White hats and bonnets are said to
be among the regular fancies for the
coining season.
Wool velvet, which comes in
changeable effects and iu plain, is one
of the now fabrics.
Pins, buckles and other millinery
ornaments sot with brilliant rhiue
stone* are the fashion.
The russian coat, with a belt aero**
the back, though no longer now, is
still a fashionablo model.
Ulsters, very long, very loose,
double-breasted and with full capos,
are tho fad of the moment.
The newest and most desirable
*hape in doth coats is tho Empire
coat, which is moderately long.
For evening wear long, loose inau
tins are in special demand, as they do
not crush tho haDdsome dresses worn
beneath them.
Girdles of dull gold filagree studded
with jewels are a fashionable adjunct
to a tea or evening gown of classic
simplicity of design.
Hats aud bonnets are made of white
cloth ombroidored in gold with trim¬
mings of white feathers aud loops and
ends of white velvet.
The most comfortable garments to
bo worn under a wrap to give extra
warmth avo the wadded coats made of
silk, which comes from Japah.
Girdles are accurate copies of rare
specimens of the goldsmith’s art, and
have become very popular since the
development of the presont craze for
the autique.
Pretty and inexpensive dresses are
made of white or colored net over
sild. The edges of the net are turned
in, and very uarrow ribbon is threaded
through them.
Many of tho new laces for evening
wear reproduce tho patterns and tex.
ture of the beloved pointe applique of
olden times so perfectly that it re¬
quires an expert to determine the dif¬
ference.
Coats have ample sleevos, and are
finished by two or three capes, or by
a single cape which is plaited into the
neck to give a full effect around the
shoulders, which is uow considered
desirable. It is edged with uarrow
fur.

EAST WELSH RAREBITS.
Welsh rarebits are templing as well
as palatable prepared in the following
maimer, and it is a form in which the
dainties may be freely eaten without
danger to digestion:
With a large old-fashioned No. 6
biscuit cutter cut out the centre of as
many thick slices of bread as you care
to have rarebits. Butter each round
of bread with butter partly melted.
Sprinkle ou a little sail, aud spread
over with a very little made mustard.
Now grate thickly over the rounds
fresh moist cheese which can be grated
nicely, other authorities to the con
trary; also, the moist cheese is bettor
because it melts more rapidly and
cotnploie. Place your rarebits on a
buttered pan, and put them into a
veiy hot oven just iu time to arrive at
perfection for immediate serving.
Serve two or three to each person ou
a small hot plate. Itarobits are much
more teuder made this way thau when
the bread crust is left on. —[St. Louis
Republic.
A RELIABLE DISH.
All careful housekeepers experience
more or less annoyance in the dress¬
ing of celery, us they realize that only
about half of it is available for the
table. The green portions with many
of the leaves are so tresli aud delicate
looking that it seems a pity to throw
them away, and except iu soup* or
salads there is but little use for them.
An excellent way of utilizing this
heretofore waste material is to wash
it thoroughly, to cut it in pieces about
three-fourths of an inch long, and
put it iu a sauce-pau with a little
water to boil, letting- it simmer for an
hour and a half or two hours, adding
a pinch of salt.
Let the water boil nearly out, then
add a little cream, a small piece of
bntter aud a little flour or cornstarch
wet with water. Tho cornstarch is
much more delicate, although some
people seem to prefer flour. When
done, this should bo like a thick batter.
Slices of toast may be prepared and
the hot celery put upon them, a largo
spoonful to a slice. A tiny bit of but¬
ter and the least possiblo dash of pep¬
per may be added; then send to the
table and serve immediately.— [New

None But Royal
Baking Powder is absolutely pure. No other equals
it, or approaches it in leavening strength, purity, or
wholesomeness. (See U. S. Gov’t Reports.) No other
is made from cream of tartar specially refined for it and
chemically pure. No other makes such light, sweet,
finely-flavored, and wholesome food. No other will
maintain its strength without loss until used, or will
make bread or cake that will keep fresh so long, or
that can be eaten hot with impunity, even by dyspeptics.
No other is so economical.
The Baking Powders now being offered in this
vicinity, with the statement that they are “ as good as
Royal,” have been shown by the official analyses to be
composed of alum and detrimental to health.
The official chemists of the United States and Can¬
ada, State analysts, municipal boards of health, and
physicians indorse the great qualities of the Royal
Baking Powder.
