the aigrette coiffure ornaments which
are piquant and dashing, and less try
ing than the coquettish rose, which Is
only for the beauty. These aigrette or
naments are attached to ribbon or
metal fillets and slant out from the
head at most outrageous anglea; and
the more outrageous the angle, 'some
how, the smarter the effect. For the
debutante there are adorable dancing
frocks of frilled white net with aix or
eight small rufflea on the skirt and
babyish sashes around the waist. A
deep bertha usually falls over tha arm
and the decolletage Is modest and
youthful.

tons, aet near th confer front of the
Instep, makes the foot look very slen

correct choice for plazxa and evening
wear with linger! and semi-formal
evening frocks. These pumps have
leather-covered wood heels and bucklea
across the front give the tru Colonial
character. For evening wear slippers
of black aatln with pointed toe and
high heels show off embroidered silk

thee slippers hav very small rhlne

Corset sachets are new coquetries,
and they make the daintiest veranda
sewing. Little bags about two Inches
by two tn sise are made of different
colored satins, and after the sweet pow
der Is put In. and they are sewed up, a
littlo gilt safety pin Is attached to I
each one. This pin fastens the sweet
ener to the corset at the front steel,
where It would be hidden by the full
ness of the dress. Little, bundles of
six sachets, tied up prettily with rlb-
I bon and topped by a wee bud with
green leaves, are sold In the shops for
a dollar and a half. The same number
can be made for 60 cents at home, and
It Is always better to use the same per
fume In all. A bundle of corset sa
ceta In different colors blue, pink,
violet, green, gray and white would
be an acceptable birthday gift to a
yoting girl.
The very great vogue of collar and
cuff sets Invites the home making of
these charming accessories, and those
gifted with any needle skill can turn
out th most elegant trlflea very
cheaply. A very fine linen lawn with
hand embroidery and a frill of Valen
ciennes or some other fine lace are the
materials of tha choicest collar sets,
and stamped piece tn the newest cuts
can be bought for home making. In
expensive sets in the shops sre of plain
white organdy with hemstitched edges,
and these many women tinker up very
charmingly vcith -outlining of black
and white lace. First a white lace frill
Is put around the set, and then this Is
topped by tha black one. Black and
white dotted muslin, treated In the
same double row of lace, makes a very
effective set. The most stylish col
lars have a deep dip In the back, com
ing In some Instances almost to th
waist. If the fronta are cut square
they are short, but If pointed they may
be quite long. An emergency collar
and cuff set for a useful wool gown, or
a stout linen dress or a pretty dotted
foulard, would be a treasure to have on
hand. When other sets are soiled it Is
ready for us and It Is fin for travel
ing. A sleeveless Jumper of black taffeta,
with talis or a sash at the back. Is a
smart novelty of the moment, and
after the over fixing haa been fitted
and stitched It could very easily be
finished on th veranda. A -decided
feature of these sleeveless overtiouses,
which will top all sorts of littlo wafh
frocks this hummer. Is a deep arm
hole going almost to the waist. The
jumpers are trimmed about with cords
of narrow puffings and although they
are seen In every color black Is the
most useful tiling.
Mat cockades make pretty excuses
for other pick-up sewing, and although
thev mar be made of almost anytning,
and of next to nothing, they are quit
dear when bought ready made. Black
taffeta allk scraps, bits of natural-col
ored linen, odd buttons, wisps ot un
usual ribbon and numerous other
materials are used for these aid orna
ments. On girl did wonders with a
variety of different silk scraps, turning
them with the aid of a few lumps of
cotton Into a very rich Imitation of s

Xlccncas of a Custanl.
National Magazine.
What can be more appetizing than a
properly-made custard,-and what pud
ding affords such opportunity for va
riety tn cooking? It can be baked,
boiled, steamed plain, or combined with
fruit or pastry, and may be made with
few egga or many, according to the
depth of the housekeeper s pocKetoooK.
The preparation presents little dirn-
culty. but the novice must guard
against haste. On no account may a
custard be cooked quickly; a alow
ateady heat la necessary, whether for
baking or steaming. When ready It
may he served hot or cold. Her is a
custard that Is nice for serving with
fruit pies or with stewed fruit, hot or
cold: Boll two cupful of milk,
four heaping tablespoonf uls of su
gar, two bay leaves and a small
piece of lemon rind for five min
utes. Stir two tablespoonf uls of
cornstarch Into half a cupful of cold
milk; add It to the boiled milk; let It
boll for two or three minutes. Have
ready In a basin six yolks of eggs beat
en up, and pour upon them th hot
mixture, stirring well together. Re
turn all to the aaucepan. and stir over
the fir till It thicken; do not let It
boll or It will curdle. Strain Into a
dish or glasses and serv cold. Sprlnkl
a little pink sugar on th top or
crushed macaroons.
Farmer Boiled Dlaaer. For a fam
lly of six get three pounds or four of
plat beef fresh or corned seeing
that therf la a moderate amount of
lean. Do not wash the fresh meat;
scrap It off with a sharp knife and
then wipe It over with a damp cloth.
Give the owned beef a thorough wash
ing and then let It soak In fresh water
far half an hour or more. Put either
meat on In frilling water so as to keep
In some of the Juices. Let It simmer
for an hour, and then add the follow
ing vegetables: On bunch of carrots,
half a new cabbage, three leeks, two
onions, three celery roots, a bunch of
white beets, tope as well. Twenty min
utes before taking up the delicious
mess put In whit potatoes. If they are
liked. Add no salt to the corned beef,
and season the other after the meat Is
tender. Boiled meats must always be
almmered. aa hard tolling makea them
tough and tasteless. Do not us too
Much water.
Boiled Ham and Spinach. This may
be prepared with fresh ham or amoked.
and It la a almple enouxh matter to get
the spinach ready the day before, keep
ing It fresh In a large tin pan placed on
the cellar floor.
Take the knuckle end of tha ham and
clean It thoroughly that la, th
smoked bam and then put It on In
enough boiling water to cover It. Add
th spinach one hour before serving;
when It is tender the dish Is ready. To
many persons spinach is more delicious
If left unchopped. It is a little more
substantial served In this msnner, and
the method Is convenient for busy days.
Only black or cayenne pepper Is needed
for this dish unless th ham la fresh or
not sufficiently salt to season th
greens.
Strawberry Ice Mash strawberries
to make a pint of Juice after It has
been strained through a sieve; mix with
the juice a boiled and strained syrup
made of one and a half pounda of sugar
and one quart of water; flavor th Juice
of half a lemon with a little orang
f lower water and add that to th other
Ingredients. Color with a little carmine

THE Harlequin boot a new magpie
- style the latest In footwear.
Black and wl.lt. or "magpie"
footwear, as It is popularly called. Is
always a bit extreme to th conserva
tive woman's thinking; but nothing
more extreme than the new harlequin
boot, one Imagines, has ever been
brought out tn footwear for my lady.
The harlequin boot la white buckskin
and part black calf, the whit half
stopping exactly at the aeams down the
front end back of the boot so that tne
outer slJe la all white and the Inner
aide all black. White pearl buttona run
down the outer side and the boot haa
the supple cut of a Juliet slipper with
no division between top and vamp, and
the only seams, the long ones that dl
vide the black and white leathers,
Toweling frocks grow mora and mor
popular. Linen fabrics are to be picked
up at surprisingly low prices on th
bargain tables. In consequence. Usu
ally the toweling costume Is trimmed
lavishly with whit pearl buttona and
Farlsan models of this character have
the Inevitable touch of black, even
when a color Is used In the trimming.
A pretty frock of toweling stuff. In
Fifth-avenue window, has strappings
of jade green faille on which ar rows
of whit pearl buttona and whit loops.
Th belt, however. Is of black taffeta
and there la an echoing touch of black
In the patent leather buttoned boots
displayed beside the costume.
Long scarves of glove silk the asm
beautifully woven silk of which tha
embroidered gloves are fashioned ar
worn over lingerie frocks at country
club and garden affairs. The scarves
are very long and are draped around
the shoulders, the ends falling over
the skirt to about the hips, where they
are crossed and carried back again, to
meet and fasten under a metal clasp at
the back of the figure. Sometimes the
ends are loosely knotted Instead of fas
tening with a clasp, but the clasp Is
easier to manage by th wearer of th
scarf when th light wrap la removed.
Silk stockings embroidered with
rhlnestones are the last extravagance
of my lady. The rhlnestones are sup
plied In the form of dewdropa, on em
broidered flower and the effect, when
the wearer la dancing. Is very fetch
ing and gay Indeed, for, of course, th
rhlnestones sparkle tn th light. ' A
pair of whit silk stockings embroid
ered with green clover leaves, have
rhlneatonea on the clover-leaf petal
and of cnurae among the three-leaved
clovers Is one four-leaved specimen
for luck. Colonial pumps ' or satin
slippers with rhlnestone buckles are
worn with these glittering stockings.
which are Intended only for gas light
wear.
Stockings to match the gown ar now
th whim, and after one haa become
accustomed to the Idea, the effect la
rather pleasing. A short taffeta
gown will have stockings In the hue
that is strongest In the changeable
weave: and with these colored stock
ings are worn the new buttoned ox
fords of black satin, which mak th
foot look so adorably small. Smoked
pearl or crystal buttona ar used on
these satin oxfords and the buttons ar
placed very near th front. which
gives the foot a trim and slender ap
pearance. The suitcase frock is now th thing
and all tha specialty shop which fur
nish "little frocks" at big prices are
providing their patrons with suitcase
costumes which may be packed, rolled
or folded Into a suitcase or even a
dresslng-bsg without injury. The

frocks are usually built of soft silk,
chiffon taffeta being the favorite,
though foulards and tub silks are
used, and the models are stralgnt and
simple, with no fluffy trimmings to
be mussed easily or to take up space.
Of course such frocks are mad en
tirely without linings.
The womsn who likes something es
pecially dainty In the way of lingerie
la selecting Summer undcrgarmenta of
glove silk, which seem to strike the
extreme not of luxury In garb of this
character. The chemises, combina
tions and petticoats are not only made
of th exquisitely supple and soft
glove fabric but they are embroidered
daintily, as ar th long allk- gloves
so fashionable now. White or colors
may be chosen.

First, test each Jar with Its tested
