Wheeler Wilcox, who says:
, A very pretty Idea has been sent out

of a man, whose aignature of ms type-

cannot be repaid, la asked to wear a

"'In other words, wa want tha see

"Mothers' day," a iay for all loyal sons

through those endearments that every
true mother, rich, or poor, cherishes; a
day to make this noble parent feel that
in the hearts of her children she is
"queen of tha May." and that 'Mothers1
flay" for this reason is the "gladdest,

Turbans are extremely fashionable, and
there are several different styles this
season. The somewhat heavy turban Is
usually draped with straw or other ma
terial and another ahowa a high crown
sharply defined, with a close curling
brim. Tho heavier turban Is trimmed
with sweeping plumes or certain kinds
of flowers. This is a smart hat to

a favorite trimming-"Is narrow ruffles
of lace, usually Valenciennes, although
soma are trimmed witn bands or Heavy

In front and back and the ruffles were
graduated from the middle bos plait to

Some of tha moat charming linen

striking model of whits Irish linen had
a coat cut like a pointed Eton In front
and on tha sides and back It showed
the long, popular cutaway. The sleeves
were full and flowing and Just elbow

were trimmed with fancy cotton braid
and the front, baok and sleeves were
Inset with Insertion of renaissance lace
and large, round medallions. The skirt
was 13 -gored. the" seams heavily
Stitched. There were three bias bands
stitched on a Jfttle above the hem at
eoual distance's apart with the lower
edge trimmed to match the coat. These
bands ended at the front gore in a
point and each was finished with a flat
pearl button.

New tork, May . this is a sea
son of large hats, for really the
majority of them tend toward ths
enormous shapes. There are always ex
aggerations la these large nats that are
only cheap Imitations of some ' Paris
hats, and . so ths fastidious woman. If
she chooses one of ths large shapes,
wilt have It made by an expert milli
ner. The sailors of the enormous type
are not becoming to every woman, but
mesa are the very nets tost are going
to be common. It Is fairly safe to say
that the well-dressed woman will avoid

sheer, are shown In delightful colors
and patterns and the cotton voiles make
up into dainty frocks. Some of the
handsomest ones hn satin atrlne

Inside the hall I was met by a crowd
of female slaves, who helped me to re
move my wraps, iney varied in age
from 16 to 40; some of them were
negreases. but the majority were Cir
cassians. i
The latter are supposed to . b. tha
most beautiful of all Turkish women.
on which account the slaves ot the sul
tan are always selected from among
them: but In this Instance I looked In
vain for any trace of good looks, and.
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

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

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

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. For
serving eggs to an Invalid or when the
breakfast tray Is sent up to someone
who wisnes to breanrast perore rising.
It la Ideal, for it keeps the eggs hot for
a long time, and eggs are not good when
they are cold. 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."

her ingredients on the rolling board
Itself, making a, well in the center of
the flour Into which ahe pours the
water with one hand and with the other
cnts the flour into It with s steel knife
This, however. 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. It
la far better to use the old method tf
mixing In a good sized bowl, until thor

Next in Importance la the proper prep
aration of the Ingredients. 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.

I will tell you of soma things t
made for my little girl of four out of
old wooolen things of my husband's.
I took an old gray woolen undershirt,
dyed It a pretty red, and made hsr a
little Jersey. It waa very pretty and
greatly admired.
I also took ths best parts out of an
old woolen undersuit ehlrt and draw
ers dyed them navy blue, and made
her a very pretty one-piece dress with
a leather belt. She wore It the most
of the winter with and without aprons.
I had two old sweaters with ths
body part perfectly good, so I out them
off and made her two -nice, warm un
derskirts, which she has worn all win

they are not too badly worn, and ftnd
