Answers to Correspondents
BT LILIAN TINGLE.
PORTLAND. Or.. Nov. 27. Kindly Blve a
recipe for chocolate frosting made with egg
yoiks: also a quick gelatine frosting for cake,
and &' recipe for grapefruit marmalade.
MRS. M. W.
I HOPE the following are what you
want:
Chocolate Icing Boil one cup sugar
. and one-half cup water until it spins
1 two-inch thread from the spoon. Pour
in a fine stream on the well-beaten
yolks of two eggs. Add one square
- unsweetened chocolate (or more If a
strong chocolate flavor is liked), with
one-half teaspoon vanilla extract and
a few grains each of salt, cinnamon
nd allspice. Beat until It is cold enough
to remain in place when spread upon
the cake. For a cake filling, one-half
- cup stiff whipped cream may be folded
in when the mixture Is nearly cool.
Quick Gelatine Frosting Soak a
level teaspoon of granulated gelatine
In three table spoonsful of cold water
for ten minutes. Set the cup contain
ing it In hot water and stir until the
gelatine Oissolves. Add gradually
three-fourths to one cup sifted con-
. fectloners' sugar, with a few drops of
any preferred flavoring and beat until
of proper spreading consistency. If a
colored frosting is desired, add a
' touch of some harmless fruit coloring.
Grapefruit Marmalade Cut anynum-
.' ber of grapefruit and half as many
lemons into quarters. Then cut as
thinly as possible through skin and
pulp, discarding seeds and membrane.
Weigh the prepared fruit, and for each
pound add three pints water. Set aside
24 hours. Let boll until the rind is
.very tender, then let stand until next
-day. Weigh, and for each pound add
i one pound sugar. Cook until thick
enough to hold up the bits of peel.
Then store in Jelly glasses in the usual
way.
For a more bitter marmalade, such
as is considered in England "a good
breakfast tonic." "use grapefruit alone.
.Many people like the flavor produced
by using equal numbers of oranges,
.lemons and grapefruit, prepared as
; above.

Portland. Or., Nov. II. I should like a
recipe for a perfectly delicious goo that I
don't know the name of. It is candled and
. taalea of orange. H. E. T.
: I guess crystallized orange straws
.or orange pralines. Try it and see. If
not, I'll guess again.
Take the peel carefully from two or
three oranges. Cut it in strips with
; scissors and boll until tender. Boil in
J another pan one cup sugar and half
cup water until it drops slowly from
:the spoon and spins a thread. Add the
cooked and drained peel to this, boll
two or three minutes, then stir with
a spoon until the sugar granulates and
clings to the peel. Turn into a sieve,
shake off the loose sugar, or. If not
sufficiently granulated, shake some
fresh granulated sugar over the orange
chips. Store In boxes, when cool. This
can be used as a sweetmeat, or in fruit
cakes, mincemeat or sweet salads. It
is generally considered wholesome, but
is not to be recommended to those
troubled with double chins or other
forms of adipose deposit.

HOME-MADE
01E of the prettiest of gift aprons
is made of fine white lawn with In
sertions of Swiss embroidery. The em
broidery is sewed over the lawn, and
between lawn and embroidery are run
ribbons of a delicate color. Bib and
apron are cut in one piece and the belt
is made of a strip of the embroidery
backed by lawn, ribbon being run be
tween. The woman who is at all handy
with a needle can complete one of these
dainty little aprons in a very short
time and they are always appreciated.
Coiffure ornaments of metallic rib
bon are quite easily made and are ex
ceedingly fashionable. A strip of wide,
soft gold or silver ribbon showing a
color of the weave, is gathered at the
ends and finished off, to be pinned be
neath the barette. Tiny festoons of rib
bon flowers are sometimes sewed on
these coiffure bands, or simple designs
wrought with colored or pearl beads
are added.
A light blue coiffure ornament
matched by a pair of blue pendant ear
rings, or a green gold passementerie
hair band makes a charming Christmas
gift for a young girl; and this color
scheme Is capable of Infinite variations.
Simple bags of satin, embroidered
with silk or chenille and braided with
gold or silver cord, make very pretty
Christmas gifts, as do the dainty
theater bags made of Dresden ribbon
and lined with soft, heavy satin In some

top. A thin strip of whalebone should
be inserted Inside the lining across the
top so that It may not crumple up when
suspended from Its long cord handles.
A theater bag, on the contrary, is
usually round or oval at the bottom, the
sides being gathered to this stiffened
oval. Such a bag will accommodate a
pair of opera glasses better than a flat
reticule. A small mirror and powder
puff in a separate small bag to match
should be tucked inside the theater bag.
No list of Christmas gift would
hardly be complete without a scent
sachet. One of the newest ideas in
this line ia heart-shaped, filled with
perfumed cotton and then covered with
silk in a delicate shade. The outer
cover is of the handkerchief linen, em
broidered and punch worked, while a
narrow frill of lace is sewn all around
the heart. The sachet is placed In a
bureau drawer, a hat box. a veil case,
or with the handkerchiefs, Just as the
receiver of the gift pleases.
One woman is making adorable little
boudoir sacques as Christmas presents
for her women friends. The sacque Is
made of a square of thin silk bordered
with three-inch Dresden ribbon. A cir
cle is cut in the center of the square for
the neck opening, and a slash extends
even of velvet, and the pretty Indoor
frock pictured shows a skirt of dark
green velvet, having three flounces,
each bound with black silk braid In
lieu of a hem. The bodice is a pic
turesque little affair with long sleeves
and shoulder straps of velvet ribbon
in the new burnt onion shade. But

down from this opening through one
corner of the square, the points thus
falling at front and back and over
each arm. Opening and slash are bound
with ribbon, and ribbon ties are added
at the neck.
A boudoir cap Is a' pretty present,
and It Is easily made when one Is pro
vided with a sewing machine and all
the materials at hand. The cap Is
made of embroidery insertions put to
gether with lace, the front portion be
ing gathered to a circular piece of
embroidery at the back. The sides of
the front strip are gathered and held
back under a broad bow of blue ribbon,
the lace frill falling over the ears.
One of the newest novelties Is a filing
case for favorite recipes. The covers
of these are usually made of tan
leather; one bears the design of a
quaint little Dutch lad at the top of
the cover, and below are the words:
"Show me the man who can live with
out eoolts." Nearly every housekeepei
nowdays flies away her favorite recipes
and a file of this sort makes them
easy to get at when needed, the owner
knowing Just where every recipe is lo
cated. Corduroy Skirts Favored
Are for Country Wear
Airiest Fabrics Only Are Tolerated
for aLlnicerle New Tsa Boots Made
of Special Leather Wntcta Will Not
Stain. -
WHEN the new corset comes home,
discard the stiff pasteboard box
which Is so cumbersome a receptacle
for. the bureau drawer, and put the
rolled-up corset In a pretty case made
of linen or silk, perfumed daintily and
drawn up at the top with ribbon. Such
a case may be made of wide Pompa
dour ribbon, of plain white linen em
broidered with a monogram or of all
over embroidery mounted on tinted
silk. The latter is perhaps the most at
tractive idea of all, and whatever the
outside fabric of the case, within
should be a removable bag of washable
silk.
Corduroy walking skirts are most
desirable for country wear. They are
sturdy, do not require pressing, will
not be Injured by an unexpected
shower and have the inestimable mer
it of being warm and at the same
time not clumsy. With the short
corduroy skirt should go a belted coat
to match or a well-shaped knitted
sweater, preferably of silk; a flexible
hat of corduroy or velour, and tramp
ing boots with sensible soles and
heels. New tan boots for this service
.... nt a auhni fan leather which
will not become stained if wet, and
which may be cleaned with a wet
sponge when soiled with no Injury to
the luster of the boot.
' Airiest Fabrics Favored.
Though Winter winds are howling
around street corners and furs appear
on every hand, the shop windows where
lingerie is displayed, show the airiest
and most cobwebby garments. Batiste
handkerchief linen and very fine nain
sook are the only fabrics which women
will tolerate now In intimate garments
and the new embroidery trimmings
just at present more fashionable than
lace are airy and fine in character to
accoid with the materials with which
they are used. A new Richelieu em
broidery Is much like Venise lace with
Its open pattern and definite design.
A trousseau set trimmed with this
handsome embroidery, and Including
nightgown, chemise, combination and
petticoat, was Bhown in a collection of
aristocratic lingerie the other day.
Pronounced as the vogue of the
Robespierre collar is, this style of col
lar Is not becoming to all women
particularly women with square shoul
ders and chunky necks. Such women
should make the very most of the
line from ear to shoulder,. and this line
is utterly disguised by the rolling
Robespierre collar. Small, square col

very fine ' open embroidery, or with

the neck is not long enough to stand

Corset Bags Neat Christmas Gifts.
This holiday season many women are
making corset bags as gifts, and the
idea seems a very practical one. The
pasteboard box in which the corset is
sent home is always a clumsy affair

FRENCH BOOT,
IT IS ONLY in England and America
that women desire to don sturdy,
wlde-soled boots for out-of-door
tramping. The Frenchwoman seldom
tramps 6he trips, or. better still, she
rides in a limousine, or If no limou
sine is convenient. in a fiacre. Her
feet are shod. in the most coquettish
manner that her purse will afford and
often in Paris one sees a charming
boot peeping from under the frill of
an embroidery petticoat, when the ac
companying frock and hat bespeak a
most rigid economy. The three Pa
risian foot-coverings pictured here are
typical styles of boots and slippers fa

Both boots have curved Louis heels,
though these heels are no higher than
the Cuban heel favored for street wear

How many American women cui
name off-hand 12 great dress-making
houses in Paris? Any Frenchwoman
could give them some of them, prob
.hi with TiRiMi breath, for the names
of the great couturiers are verily
rreat couturiers are verily
conjure with In Paris and
names to
your true Parislenne will name me
most important 12 with scarcely less
reverence than she would name the 12
virtues.
These 12 foremost oressmamng
houses, in the opinion of most Ameri
cans, are the houses of paquin, Cal
lot Soeurs, Cheruit, Martial Armand,
Bechoff-David. Bernard, Drecol, Fran
cis, Worth. Redfern, Poiret and Beer.
Most of these places are grouped near
together on .the Place Vendome, the
Rue de la Paix, or adjoining streets.
Some of the dressmakers, or couturiers
as they are called in Paris, have houses
as luxurious in appointment and as
elegant In facade as any of the great
hotels and palaces of French nobility.
One enters through an Impressive vesti
bule filled with priceless rugs and
tapestries and finds several salons,
each exquisitely furnished and prob
ably looking out on a garden and
gardens in the neari oi -ans are nunc
as expensive as they, are In New York.
In the beautiful rooms, and sometimes
in the garden, the mannequin parade
about with their peculiar, lingering
yet graceful walk, and one may see the
nrn nno aintamnlntaa TtUrChasinS: JUSt
as it ought to look and might look if
one were as tall, slender and lithe as
the impassive young person who preens
about with It on.
Each great dressmaker has his spe
cialty. To Bernard, to Drecoll, to
Francis and to Bechoff-David, one
goes for a chic tailored suit to Fran
cis If one is particularly conservative
and conventional In taste, for Francis
is never sensational. His skirts are
never too narrow nor his coats too
short- He is tailor to English royalty,
and has his unalterable standards
of what a gentlewoman should wear.
You ma;- conform to his standards or
you may go elsewhere, to Poiret or Pa
quin if you desire clothes that will be
noticed in every gathering.
Drecoll, whose house Is on the Place
de la Opera, is another couturier who
may be relied upon for conservative
and practical tailored wear. His coat
and suit skirts, as well as Bernard's,
set a standard for each season for the
manufacturers of American tailored
wear.
Paquin is daring and sometimes her
tailored garments are a bit fanciful
for American taste. She excels in
dressy tailored clothes and in wraps, a
Paquin wrap being always a thing of
perfect beauty and grace. Madame
Paquin, who, Bince the death of Mon
sieur, has been carrying on the busi
ness, often wears her most interesting
creations first herself, and some of her
gowns and wraps have set the fashion
for two continents. At Trouville, In

this connection one cannot refrain from
