Indeed, could hardly help smiling at the comic effect, they produced, dressed up to the Klines in the latest Paris fash ions, sxecuted - by local dressmakers. That these women devote much time and thought to their appearance was evident from the weird results attained by their sartorial flights of fancy. The louder tne color, the heavier tne trimming, the - better they seemed pleased; and the homeliness of the ma terials employed (flannel seemed to have the preference) was fully atoned for by the length of their trains and by the raklshness of the white muslin bon nets ornamented wtth rosea and other artificial flowers, which orowned their heads. They conducted me to the presence of their mistress, and stood around offer ing tea and rose Jam. and otherwise at tending to our. wants the.whois time my visit lasted. Besma Hanum la beautiful and high ly educated, but, as in the esse of so many Turklah women, there la about her a certain lassitude, born of dis couragement and an unequal struggle witn uncongenial surrounaings. She spoke of the spread of education In Turkey, and of the mental superiority of the educated Turkish women over the equally educated Turkish man, seemingly unable to account for a fact which she evidently considers perfect ly estaonsnea. Us? Shirtwaist ttenaisance, MUCH to the surprise of every ens interested In the subject, the shirtwaist Is apparently rapidly returning to Its old style. wth the sim plest designs made up In ailk aa well as in all wash materials. Embroidered and lace trimmed lingerie blouses will still be worn, but It Is no longer neces sary to have always the most expensive sort of waist. For the morning, for In stance, with a plain skirt, a decidedly severe model shirt has recently come Into vogue. This summer, for tennis and golf, when It la played, the regu lation taiior-maae Doaice win oe smar. once more, for the stiff cuffs and col lar on waists of rather heavy material are so much more sensible than the blouses that have been fashionable dur ing tne last few seasons that" Us re turn to favor was Inevitable. - ' The style of waiat most popular Just at present baa really only come Into fashion this winter, although last sum mer saw the preliminary of the fash Ion. This is a simple model made to fasten In front beneath a frill or pleat, bordered with a onf-inch ruche of the material Itself. On the turned-down collar Is a little frill, and the cuffs are made In the same way. Such a blouse Is equally pretty In silk, lawn, linen, or any fine wash fabrlo, and may be quite plain, or else lucaea ana plaited. Jewel studs and cuff links are generally worn with this kind of bodice "Instead of the plain buttons and buttonholes. For use with a severe tailor-made walk ing suit in a dark cloth an excellent model is a ailk waist, worn with em broidered linen turn-down collar, or else a high collar of the silk' with a nar row lingerie one attached. The white linen collar with a soft tie of the dark silk makes a smart finish to this most attractive blouse. It Is altogether Impossible to stats positively Just what length of sleeve is to remain fashionable for i waists. It Is safe to say, however, that In all tailor and severely simple shirts ths long varieties will be correct, while for an elaborate bodice the sleeves may be elbow, three-quarter or full length, as desired. There ars many women who do not consider a short aleeve ap propriate, save for the handsomest style blouses, and thsy Insist upon hav ing full length sleeves on all their sep arate waists. On hsndsome white lace or ohlffon bodices short sleeves would probably be more generally approved, but this Is far from saying that these dress models will not be smsrt If mads with a deep cuff to the wrist ' ft' ft It Prize Garden Series.

For Coddling JEars A very useful utensil for the perfect "coddling" ot eggs (and this is tbs most healthful way to cook a boiled egg) Is a little Jar. which will hold one or two eggs, as one may prefer, and In whlcth the egg is both cooked and served. It Is fitted with a tight screw top cover, and la put Into boiling water when ths eggs are broken Intj It; add pepper and salt and a bit of butter if desired, although' these may be added afterward If one prefers. Let the flame remain burning under the water for three sec onds after the little egg jar is put in the water, and then turn the fire out, or remove the saucepan from the fire at once: let the egg remain la ths water for from three to five minutes, accord-, lng to the degree to which it is to be cooked, and then serve at once, the cover being removed at the table.

When turned out the egg will be found cooked to a Jelly-like consistency, the white and yolk thor oughly done, however, and It Is said that this Is the moat easily digested way to eat cooked eggs thst has yet been found. The little white jar la so dainty that the eggs are to be eaten directly from it, an from an egg cup. It is really a superior kind of egg cup In whloh the eggs can also be cooked and kept warm as well as served. But the water in the saucepan must be boiling "at a gal lop" when the eggs are nut In or they will not be properly "coddled." Snceossfnl Pas try making.

Is not a good way for the amateur cook, for it most always results disastrously, part of the Ingre dients being found on the table and floor, while the rest are In a water soaked condition, unfit for rollina.

The flour should be well sifted two or three times; the butter should be wrapped In a clean cloth and squeesed dry. Many prefer to use all lard, but it must be of the best quality. One great object Is to keep pastry light, that is to say, aa full of air as possible, and this is ob tained by lifting the' hands high above the basin with each handful, the flour and butter being rubbed and then scattered-through the flngera and allowed to fall back again from a height. Eafth tiny particle thus retains some air clinging to It In this way, which serves to isolate It from the" next tiny parti cle, resulting In a delightful crlspness and lightness, which la ths secret of successful pastrymaklng. When a recipe calls for baking pow der, it should be sifted with the flour two or three times to thoroughly blend It before adding the other Ingredients.
