C " 28 SOME PARIS fashions may be intended for smart women, but they sometimes carry a long way from their starting point, and find expression in a 'manner that is startling. In New York, for in stance, anything too striking and blzarro for Fifth avenue is certain to be seen in all its glory in at least a cheap imita tion on Third avenue, or further down In the side streets, 'where the old and the new world are divided at the birth of every child. In the American papers ore copied the novelties of each season as they come along, and while the women of the most exclusivo world of fashion look askance at them and hesitate, working girls deck themselves boldly whatever discord the Innovation makes. The edict comes from Paris that lace SUMMER BREAKFAST DISHES THE careful housekeeper Is always searching for good breakfast dishes that will take tho place of meat during the Summer months. In the few' recipes given below the endeavor has been to collect those of lees frequent use, which can, at the same time, be relied upon to give satisfaction. Eggs in tne few conventional forms are perhaps too freely used, but many delicious methods of serving are ignored and overlooked. Mushrooms are" practically confined to rich dinner sauces, and so many toothsome dishes have to be provided which should help along in tho menu of the every-day breakfast table. Egsrs In Tomatoes. To make a delectable hot-weather dlsn, eelect large tomatoes that are ripe, yet firm, and of good shape. Plunge them into boiling water for a moment and re move the slkns. Cut out the hard stem ends, making In each a hollow sufficiently large to hold a broken egg. Into each ot these hollows drop a fresh egg without breaking tho yolk, season with butter, pepper and salt, and bake in a moderate oven until tho tomatoes are tender ana the eggs are set Serve on rounds of but tered toast, either plain or with cream sauce. Esrgs a 1'Axuore. Boll a dozen eggs hard by placing them In warm water, -bringing slowly to the simmering point and keeping them at that temperature for SO minutes witnout permitting the water actually to bubble. At the end of that time drop them into cold water and remove the shells. Ar range 10 of the eggs in a shallow dlsn, pour over them Bechamel sauce, then sprinkle over tho top with the yolks or the two remaining eggs, pounded line and mixed with an equal quantity of bread crumbs. Pour a little melted butter over the top, garnish with triangles of bread dipped in melted butter, and send to tho oven. When colored a. light brown, serve. For the sauce, melt a piece of butter the size of a walnut and mix with It one tablespoonful of flour. Then add one small onion cut In slices, half an ounce of lean, raw ham, and a little salt ana pepper. When beginning to color slightly. OF THE mitts are to ho'worn, but American wom en do not wear them smartly- French women, with pink nails, and hands load ed with rings, make the laccy gloves'seem correct, but somehow they don't seem to to fit an American woman's costume any more than the thick white loco veils do that French women wear so much. Any other woman looks ridiculous in either the mitts or the veils with their designs that form whole landscapes over the face. Mrs. Jules Vatablo. of New York, who was conspicuous as the best gowned woman at the last horse show, has more courage In the matter of veils than most women, and will carry gracefully a cos tume that would be extreme in style if another woman wore it, but even she will have neither lace veils nor mitts. SATISFACTORY SUBSTITUTES FOR WAYS OF PREPARING EGGS add half a pint of milk and stir all to gether -until it bolls. Let 'boll for two minutes, strain and serve. Eggs en Tiinlmles. Tlmbales of an elaborate sort are fre quently served, but these less familiar ones will bo found amply worth the trial. Break one dozen eggs in a largo bowl. Add one dash of pepper and two of salt, and a half pint of sweet cream. Beat all together until light, then strain and pour into buttered tlmbale molds ana place these In a pan containing water to one-third of their depth. Bake In a moa ernte oven until the mixture becomes Arm enough to turn -out of the molds. Then serve very hot with the sauce Bechamel, for which directions have already been given. If the tlmbale molds are not con venient, use any small cups. Egrirs an G rutin. , Drop the yolks of three eggs into a bowl, add two ounces each of bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese, an ounce of butter, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper and nutmeg. Mix all together and pour into a shallow dish which has been buttered. Place in the oven, and when the mixture begins to color remove and drop eight eggs over the top. Sprin kle with grated cheese, return to the oven, and when the eggs aro set, servo in the dish in which they are cooked. Omelet "With Kidneys. Remove the skin from three lamb's kidneys, then cut them Into thin slices. Put half a tablespoonful of butter In a frying pan, and when It has melted, add the kidneys, with a little salt and pep per and a dash of nutmeg. Toss the kid neys In the pan until they are brown and firm. Add a teaspoonful of flour and two wineglassfuls of stock. Stir until smooth, then boll for 10 minutes, and serve poured round an omelet of six eggs. Chicken Saute anx Herbex. Clean and cut in pieces two young chickens, and put them in a saucepan with four chopped shallots and two ounces of butter. Place tho saucepan over the lire and turn tho chicken, continually un til It Is a nice brown. Then ndd half a j pint of Spanish sauce, salt and pepper to taste, ana & auau 01 uuiuiug. wer u&ui- ly and standat the back of the stove until the chicken is quite tender. Then add a dozen mushrooms chopped very fine; if necessary, a little more of the sauce, and boll for flvo minutes longer. Remove the THE SUNDAY NEW SMAKT GOWNS The bright green gauze veil that seems to be ot some use, but really isn't, was Introduced by very fashionable women, but has already become the badge of democracy. It is the greenest thing Im aginable, and is utterly unbecoming to every woman but the very young ones with peach-like skins and soft hair. This Is supposed to be a Paris fad, but It Isn't, having emanated from a point very near Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street. New York City. A New York girl recently returned from abroad said the floating veil worn by a sister who met her at the dock caused her moments of awful anguish. As the steamer came in, the girl on deck, looking through tho glasses, saw her sister, but could make out nothing about her costume but a MEAT AND SOME NEW chicken, arrange it nicely on a platter, add a tablespoonful of chopped parsley to tho sauce, let boll up once, pour over the chicken, and serve. To mako the sauce, cook two ounces of butter and two of flour until brown; then add a pint of stock, an ounce of lean, raw ham, a carrot, an onion, a stalk of cel ery, two cloves, a pinch of salt and one of pepper. Stir all together until the sauce begins to boll, then stand on the back of the range and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Skim off the grease, and U too thick, add a little moro stock and strain. Farcied Tomatoes. Select from good-sized tomatoes, cut a slice off the stem end and scoop out the inside. To eight tomatoes so prepared allow one onion, one ounce of butter, six ounces of bread crumbs, a dozen mush rooms, a tablespoonful of chopped pars ley, a pinch of salt and pepper and four -tablespoonfuls of tomato sauce. Stir the butter and onion over the flro until slight ly colored, then add the bread crumbs, which have soaked in water and pressed free of moisture, the mushrooms and tho parsley chopped line, and all the other ingredients. Mix all well together. All the tomatoes. Sprinkle tho top of each with bread crumbs and a little melted butter and cook in a moderate oven until brown on top and the tomatoes aro tender. Serve with tomato sauce poured around them. Tonsrne on Toast. Chop one cup full of cold boiled tongue very fine. Beat the yolks of two eggs until light, then add them to the tongue, and season with a quarter of a teaspoon ful of mustard and. a dash of cayenne pepper. Add a small piece of butter and stir ovtr the Are until the eggs are cooked. Serve immediately on rounds of hot buttered toast. Baby'a First Summer. Never glvo the child warm water to drink, as it Is as flat and distasteful a drink to the child as it would be to the adult; when properly cooled it Is palatable ond quenches thirst. Never cool It by putting ice in the water, as iced. water is not good for the infant, and Ice con tains many Impurities. A young Infant should have two or three teaspoonfuls be tween its meals, also a teaspoonful after feedine, as this assists in keeping tho mouth clean. An older, child should be 1 given more in proportion to Its age,- and OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, somber black veil floating in the breeze, which kept her in an agony of suspense as t") which member of tho family was dead, until she was quite close and made a mental noto of the dosen3 of green and bluo and tan and brown decorations on all the women's hats. Whatever the green veil may have been designed to represent. It Is to the aide now. One mark of the elegant woman this season Is her pongee coat. It is the dain tiest, coolest, most seasonable-looking garment that has been brought out In many Summers, and It docs, with varia tions in trimming, for ever so many differ ent occasions. It is used for utility in driving or walking, mado looso and sim ple, with wide cuffs and a "big" collar, and it is equally good style with costly a child between 1 and 2 years should drink from a half-pint to a pint of water each day. It is often wise after a child has reached his first year to lessen tho number of feed ings during the heated term. If, for In stance, a child is being fed once in threo hours, and thero Is any tendency to vomit ing, or loss of appetite, it would be found very beneficial to make the Intervals of feeding four hours. When this is the case the quantity may be Increased a lit tle, and cs a usual thing the child will continue to gain In weight, oftentimes more rapidly than when It was fed more often. A mother need not become alarmed be cause now and then during the Summer her child refuses to take a meal, or even two. Do not force the child to eat; tho little rest he Insists upon giving his stom ach is often the means of saving both stomach and Intestines from a serious up setting. Marlauna Wheeler, in Harper's Bazar. Wnat to "Wear Traveling It is a fact worth knowing that the key note of the perfect costume 13 its suit ability. Especially Is this true of travel ing, for there comfort goes hand In hand with charm. The more appropriate the costume the moro enjoyable the Journey and the more fascinating the traveler. The sense of being Just right enhances beauty, brightness, conversation and tentls to drive off fatigue; therefore, what to wear traveling becomes a question of spe cial significance to the woman who is con templating a short trip or a long one dur ing vacation time. Her clothes should be comfortable thoroughly so as well as ap propriate and smart in effect. Materials which are dust-proof and light In weight should invariably be chosen for the trav eling gown. Hats should bo cool and simply trimmed, and heavy shoes and thick gloves should always bo- left at home. The silk traveling gown is all the vogue this season. If it is made of the unfin ished taffeta, which is soft rather than crisp, and as it neither' wrinkles nor spots, it Is sure to prove serviceable. Ught-welght English tweed will wear well and not show the dust, and for a long Journey is highly to be commended, while for the day excursion or the short trip linen crash, Panama Java etamine or pongeo are all appropriate materials.

He generally revised It aittr the rehearsals had begun, adding" here and taking away there, as his judgment and fancy dictated.

THIS IS lace and embroidery for theater and visit ing and afternoon driving. It Is unllncd, usually, and made to hang almost straight. Empire or box-cut. Miss Lulu Glazer, who Is one of the best gowned women on the 3tage, from tho viewpoint of a woman in-private life, wears two pongee coats, a plain one and an elaborate one, both of which have been much admired. She is wearing this sea son sorao very pretty frocks that are models of simplicity and entirely prac tical for thoso who llko to use soft, cling ing fabrics, and Is particularly suitable for the many lovely but exceedingly In expensive crepe-like materials that are sold this year. Tho lace that Is let In, with the band tucking, is sufficient trim ming for the gown. The deaths of so many members of tho COLD DISHES DURING the heated term housekeep ers are often at a loss- what to serve; hot meats grow tiresome and something appetizing is 'In demand. Many tables, may be made, or vegetables, hollowed out and filled with meat or fish salads. In cooking vegetables to be eaten cold, place them In rapidly boil ing water, salted, and cook until tender; then drain at once and cool as rapidly as possible. Young turnips and carrots, peas, 1 string beans, potatoes, asparagus, young beets and green corn are all excellent served cold after being cooked, and raw tomatoes and cucumbers, with the various green salad plants, give a pleasing variety from which to select. Venl Loaf. Run four pounds of veal, one onion, half a pound of blanched almonds, a cupful of coarsely cut celery and two tablespoonfuls of parsley through the meat chopper. Mix In a level tablespoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of cayenne. Grease a plain mold with plenty ot butter, press the meat tightly Jnto the mold, cover, set In a pot of boiling water and boll for threo hours. Rcmovo tho lid and pour off the liquid that will have accumulated on top of the meat; add to it a cupful of aspic and set to heat. Stir in the juice of a lemon and half the peel grated. Remove the mold from the water and place It on a table. Pour In the liquid prepared and run a knife down to bottom of the moid In sev eral places to allow tho liquid to descend. Set away In a cold place over night. When ready to serve turn out of tho mold and serve in thin slices with any preferred salad. Meat or Fish Salad In Turnip Caps. Cook new turnips In boiling salted water until tender; drain and cut out the cen ters, forming cups. When cold sprlnklo with a few drops of oil and vinegar. These can be filled with any preferred combina tions. Salmon cut In small flakes mixed with peas and moistened with mayonnaise, is good; chicken cubes and celery with mayonnaise, halibut and cucumber dice, olives and beef cubes, with mayonnaise or a French dressing, are all excellent. De lineator. Ham and Tomato Salnd. Cover .two tablespoonfuls of gelatins -with half a cupful of cold water and let .stand half an hour. Add to one cupful of 1 hot stock and stir until dissolved. To one COUNTRY, DISREGARDING PARIS, ORIGINATING FASHIONS OF ITS OWN New York-Newport set have given tho fashionable dressmakers a difficult task to find designs for stylish gowns in con ventional mourning. Plainness almost to severity Is the rule, and the only touch of trimming beside crepo bands is the herring-bone stitching that laces together folds of the material or flnlshos seams of the skirt. The fit of these plain frocks is of tho greatest Importance, and smart women nowadays look as though their gown3 were fitted without darts and seams in an Impossible manner. Deep mourning Is mudu more difficult than the less severe all-black that is worn to lighten that of the first season. When crepe Is taken off, some of the effects In chiffon and silk and lace are lovely, of course; strictly speaking, lace Isn't mourning at all, but people of consistent good taste in other matters take great liberties in this matter nowadays. Mrs. FOR HOT DAYS SEASONABLE RECIPES OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE PLEASING VARIETY FROM WHICH TO SELECT pint of finely chopped boiled ham, add ii teaspoonful of chopped parsley, hair a teaspoonful of dry mustard and a dash of cayenne. Add the gelatine, stir, until the mixture thickens, then add halt a cupful of whipped cream- Pour into a border mold and set away to become firm. Turn from the mold, arrango tomatoes In slices about the base and pour in the hollow center half a pint of mayonnaise. The ham may be served with a lettuce salad having a French dressing; or, if preferred, mold tho ham in small cups. Marbled Chicken or Veal. Soak a small salted beef tongue over night. Cook for two hours, remove the skin and chop fine, then add to it 12 stoned olives chopped, a teaspoonful each of pep per and mace, half a teaspoonful of cloves and grated nutmeg. Boll in two quarts of water a three-pound chicken or a piece of veal of equal weight. When partly cooked add a carrot, a turnip, one bay leaf, two cloves, a stalk of celery, a spray of par sley, a level tablespoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. When the fowl Is tender, remove it and chop the meat fine. Cover half an ounce of gela tine with half a cupful of cold water, let stand for half an hour, and add to a quart of chicken liquor. PIclcled Salmon or Halibut. Steam a threo or four-pound piece of fish until tender.

Place the fish in an earthen Jar and pour over it the hot vinegar. Place a plate on the fish and on this a weight and leave for two days. It can be eatea as It is with a cucumber salad, or serve with it a mayon naise or a tartare sauce. HER MAIDEN SAME. Shall a Woman Retain It After She Is Married? The writing women are placed In a po sition similar to that of their slaters of the buskin. Trie unfortunate case of a gifted botanist a widow, who married a second time, when her first book was in the full flush of prosperity, and whose name was utterly unknown "to the read ing public, 1b bf recent occurrence. Eliza beth Stuart Phelps, after writing as "Elizabeth Stuart Phelps-Ward" for some years, has brought out two new books under her old name. Mrs. Kate Douglas Jack Gardner, of Boston, for Instance, re ceived at an afternoon musicale two sea sons ago In crepe-trlmmed dull black silk, with a string of huge pearls around her neck, and a brooch and pendant of wonderful rubles. She carried an lm menso ostrich-feather fan. Little things are the distinguishing fea tures of the costumes ot fashionable women this year. Belts and stocks and buckle3 and all such trifles have becomo very Important, and some of them are fetching to tho last degree. Bows aro Intricate and artistic, and lend quite an air to the simplest sort of gowns. Ethel Barrymore arway3 wears a frock that Is but a plain skirt, a simple blouso waist; possibly a big collar, but always a trig stock and a chic belt- and her things are copied by the richest young women In New York. LILLIAN EDGERTON BARRET. Wlggln-Rlggs and Mrs. E. WHkins-Free-man simply add their new name with the convenient hyphen. OHvo Schreiner's husband preferred to take her name and give up his own, but his courso displays a fine devotion which no American of Importance has as yet emulated. It la doubtful whether it would be appreciated even were some modest and adoring hus band to do It. Scorn and ridicule would be his portion. Tho growing need of indlvidualtlty in the matter of names Is constantly forced upon us. Our population, especially in the cities. Is multiplying with bewilder ing rapidity. Men of the same name are to bo found by the score in the same town even on the same street they are duplicated and reduplicated. Deplorable confusion results. Tho Smiths, Browns and Robinsons strain after names which shall be unusual enough to separate them from the thousands of their nominal brethren. Even girls, to whom It has been fashionable, in many quarters, to give but one name, are now blessed with three or four. It was supposed that after mar riage they could use the p&tronymic as a middle name; but since mariage Is becom ing rarer, the prospect of remaining mere "Emma Smith" through a lifetime of. per haps. 90 years, with 40 or more Emma Smiths In the same city, 13 not agreeable. These same considerations are leading to the more frequent use of the hyphen. This has always been employed more or less in cases where a large fortune or great fame descended from the mater nal side. On many accounts, It Is de sirable that the custom should be ex tended. Women become constantly more Important in the economic order. They have their college, club and philanthropic Interests, and often a wide circle ot friends, before.thelr marriage. They nat urally desire that their children and the children of their old friends should know each other a3 such; but instances are not Infrequent of young men and women in college, whose mothere were Intimate In early life, yet whose change of name at marriage has completely sunk their Identity out of sight. This Is unfor tunate, and It would be largely obviated If the names of the father and mother should be combined In the child's name. Thus, if Helen Julia Barrows marrlea John Fish Elmore, thejr son might prop erly be known as Henry Barrows-EImore. As "Henry Elmore" the ohl friends of Helen Barrows would not connect him with her: but the "Barrows" might lead to Inquiries and thus to discovery. Kate Upson Clark in Leslie's Weekly. .
