C FASHION NOTES. A IIIMMMIN EXPERIENCE IN COOKING. Skirts are worn short in front. Sultan is the new shade of red. The newest lace is the Oriental. Fancy buckles are worn with belts. Belts are worn with street costumes. Drees trains grow longer and longer. A favorite dark shade is lees of wine. B<»x-pleated corsages are coming in vogue. Colored silk torchon is one of the laces. Bird of Paradise plumes will be much worn. Marine blue and dark maroon are fashionable. Prune and puce are fashionable Au­ tumn colors. Bronze brown and bronze green are leading colors. Pleated and gathered Corsages are coming in vogue. Short skirts are being made of tur­ quoise blue flannel. Colored Smyrna and guipure laces are coming in fashion. Moonlight be ids is another name for clair de la lune jet. Narrow gathered bias ruffles adorn dress skirts this Fall. The neck of new dresses open en chale or Pompadour. Lace bonnet strings and lace scarfs are no longer fashionable. A great many ribbon bows are seen on all the new costumes. Basques, tunics and polonaises are all worn, but the shapes are new. The Serbian is the costume destined to take the place of the Breton. The Avalon is a pretty, modest, elosed-brimmed bonnet for Fall wear. For evening toilets the double train has been introduced with effect. The new fringes combine crimped braid, silk, and clair de la lune jet. The new bonnets have coronet brims and elaborately puffed cap crowns. Satin is to be revived and will be used as a trimming for almost everything. The newest straw and felt hats are the Helmet, Vesta, Aslley, Vera and Rival. Clair de lune galloon is a silk or mo­ hair braid dotted with steel-white heads. Coarse straw bonnets trimmed with satin and wild flowers or fruit will be the style for early Autumn. Very rough fabrics will be used for outside garments this Fall. They will be made long and close-fitting. The Autumn buntings are quite an improvement on the Summer bunt­ ings. This fashion of goods will be much worn. Out-side pockets are going out. Now the pocket is sewed into the side seam of the overskirt or polonaise, and a fancy lapel placed to mark the spot. In contradistinction to the popular and much worn Breton suit, we now have dresses a la inilitarie. They are extremely stylish and decidedly new. Bridal chejnhettes and night robes are now made of open lace work, held together in front by delicate bows of lace, at intervals of a few inches from the throat. In ear-rings there are arrows of gold with the diamond set above the cen­ ter, the diamond on a screw which passes through the ear, and the arrow is thus held in place. The princess form, with no upper drapery, demi or full trained, will be used for house dresses this season, the pale hued cashmeres being extremely popular for morning wear. Large square collars with frills of lace are worn with colored percale dresses; they also are accompanied by the tight fitting cuff half way up to the elliow and edged with lace. Double and treble capes, made round and reaching to the shoulder, are worn with the long untrimmed sleeve of the directoire dress. These capes fasten in front and are high at the throat. A new bouquet holder is a gold shaft, at the end of which is a tulip, which opens its leaves and discloses a tiny watch. The bouquet slides into the shaft and the tulip stands as the cen­ tral flower. . . i ■ ■ ■ 4 » » . . ■ NO 46. . i ■ — A bout W inding up W atches .— More watches are spoilt by irregular and hasty winding up than by most other causes. The operation should, if possible, be performed regularly, and always with a steady and uniform mo­ tion, not moving both hands, and near­ ly as practicable at the same hour dai­ ly. A watch should always be kept at the same temperature; left over night on a stone surface it is sure to gain, or if the oil gets thickened it may stop, to he started again by the warmth of the pocket. The requisites of a good watch are that the case, whether of gold or silver, should be correctly made and of fair thickness, the hinges close and smooth, the glass well-fitted, the dial of clear, bright enamel, the second sunk, and the whole of good weight when held in the hand. When, too, the dome is opened, the brass-work should look well-finished, the edges smooth off, the steel of a diamond like polish, and the jewels pale in color, but of a fine, clear luster. I found fault, some time ago, with Maria Ann’s custard pie, and tried to tell her how my mother made custard pie. Maria made the pie after my re­ ceipt. It lasted longer than any pie we ever had. Maria set it on the ta­ ble every day for dinner, and you see I could not eat it because I forgot to tell her to put in any eggs or shortening. It was economical, but in a fit of gen­ erosity I stole it from the pantry and gave it to a poor little boy in the neigh­ borhood. The boy’s funeral was large­ ly attended by his former playmates. I did not go myself. . Then there were the buckwheat cakes. I told Maria Ann any fool could beat her making those cakes, and she said I had better try it. So I did. I emptied the batter all out of the pitch­ er one evening, and set the cakes my­ self. I got the flour, and salt, and wa­ ter, and, warned by the past, put in a liberal supply of eggs and shortening. I shortened with tallow from roast beef, because I could not find any lard. The batter did not look right, and I lit my pipe and pondered. “Yeast! Yeast to he sure!” I had forgotten the yeast. I went ami woke up the baker, and got six cents’ worth of yeast. I set the pitcher behind the sitting-room stove, and went to bed. In the morning I got up early, and prepared to enjoy my triumph; but I didn’t. That yeast was strong enough to raise tho dead, and the batter was running all over the carpet. I scraped it up and put it in another dish. Then I got a fire in the kitchen, and put on the griddle. The first lot stuck to thegriddlo. The sec­ ond lot dittoed, only more so. Maria came down and asked what was burn­ ing. She advised me to grease the griddle I did it. One end of the griddle got too hot, and I dropped the thing on my tenderest corn while try­ ing to turn it around. Finally the cakes were ready for breakfast, and Maria got the other things ready. We sat down. My cakes did not have the right flavor. I took one mouthful, and it satisfied me; I lost my appetite at once. Maria would not let me put one on her plate. I think those cakes may be reckoned as a dead loss. The cat would not eat them. The dog ran off and staged three days after one was offered him. Tho hens won’t come within ten feet of them. I threw them into the hack yard, and there has not been a pig on the premises since. I eat what is put before me now*, and never allude to my mother’s system of cooking anymore. G eneral S c < > belo ff .—M ajor-Gen- eral Scobeloff is a character—one of the most striking men I ever have met; ho is the son of Lieutenant-General Scobeloff, of the army, and has been in every campaign the Russians have had since he was old enough to euter the field. In Khokand, where every­ thing was considered in a critical state, young Scobeloff was left to cover the rear of the army with five battalions and twenty guns. Ilis elders in rank and years had selected him to bear the disgrace of the expected catastrophe; hut he did not fan *y the situation of af­ fairs, attacked the enemy (numbering forty battalions) in the night, threw into a panic and utterly routed them, remaining master of the province. For this he was made a major-general at thirty-one and became the object of much envy and calumny at the hands of the officers whose heads he bad passed over. At the recent battle of Plevna he had his brigade of Cossacks and a battalion of infantry, the latter number­ ing about 700 men. Three hundred and forty of this battalion fell in the desperate contest, 170 of them being killed outright; unsupported the rem­ nant were compelled to fall back, hut they retreated in good order, bringing away all the wounded, and actually left the deadly line of battle singing one of their wild but very melodious mountain airs. A major-general, thir­ ty-three years of age, tall and hand­ some, Scobeloff is the ideal of a beau sabreur of the old Murat type. Bravo almost to recklessness, yet possessing a certain shrewd aptitude for estimat­ ing chances and the strength of posi­ tions, he will make his mark in this campaign should his carelessness of personal danger not bring him before some fatal bullet, lie has already been wounded six times during his career. Having been appointed to the staff of the commander of the Plevna army, he was en route to the camp of cavalry brigade to turn over the command to his successor. ■ ■ - ■ ■ < ♦ » I. I. — S enatorial P ortraits . — Sena­ tor Spencer’s hair no longer lies flat to his head. It is curled up into a crest almost a la Conkling. It looks as if the dainty hands of his fair spouse had been at it, as if she said, “My dear, I intend to make you look a little taller.” After receiving many congratulations he began to pour communications into the ear of Conkling, who is declared to be his political adviser, and will tell him what to do, in view of the ignor­ ing of his political claim by the Admin­ istration. Senator Conkling looks in better health, but the golden glory of his hair is gone forever, even from the famous forelock. No man in public life has changed so much personally in the same length of time as Mr. Blaine. It is but a few years ago since he looked a young man and a handsome man. Already he has the puffy ap­ pearance which marked Sumner in his last years—has the samo swollen circles over and under his eyes. Ho has grown stout. His hair has grown gray. His face and person have aged at least twenty years in ten. His whole pres- sence tells of battles he has waged and not always won. His countenance shows the mental conflict through which he has passed. Remorse hurts some; to be found out hurts worse. Thurman looked much less muffled, up than usual, as if mumps and neuralgia had “sworn off” from him for the month of October. Stanley Mathews, looking as aggravatingly like Brigham Young as ever, sat as comfortable on his Senatorial seat as if the rival im­ ages of Ewing and Pendleton did not loom in the Democratic distance. Mor­ ton’s seat was conspicuously vacant. Chaplain Sunderland deplored his ab­ sence, arid commended him to God in his prayer. It the Lord would only ship him along this way, many peoplo wouldn’t return thanks. A n I ncurable M aniac . —Dr. J. C. Ayer remains in an asylum in A thol, Mass., an incurable maniac. A corre­ spondent of the Rochester Democrat says at times he is very violent, and at others quiet to a degree that indicates softening of the brain. The same writer gives the following as facts: Ayer came to Lowell a poor adventurer and obtained employment in a fac­ tory, where his services as a chemist gave him good wages. He was eco­ nomical and saved money. Then he became acquainted with a druggist who sold a cough medicine which was very popular. Ayer obtained the recipe and advertised the medicine freely. His agents spread rapidly through the country and Ayer built up an immense traffic. He kept his profits secret, but his frequent investments indicated rap­ idly growing wealth, He became one of the largest cotton mill proprietors in Lowell, and the largest owner of bank stock. Investments were also made in other places, in order to avoid notice and prevent that rush for charity which so often follows the increase of wealth. This absorbed the entire energies of the proprietor until he was ordered by his physician to goto Europe.
