This Is not to say that the day of the
bis hat is no more. It-has Us place
and Is too becoming, 1 saucy, aressy ana
, The . big bat with its abundance of
.plume and great rosettes of tulle is still
the accepted mode for the dress hat. It
corresponds -with the . Dlreotolre and
' Napoleonic orders and completes such a
costume as noinma eise can. . ' v. .
But the day of the small bat has also
undoubtedly -arrived. The turban has
been taken up in Paris and Its general
acceptation la only a matter of time. .
Tt sill nnt rln. however, to call any
. turban the mode of the moment The
new turbans are built on Quite, different
lines from the diminutive, almost In
visible affairs of that name which but
a few years , ago perched saucily upon
the back of the bead. . ,
These new turbans are large and; almost-cover
the hair. They are set low
upon" the1 head and the wide mode of
dressing the hair Is necessary in order
to keep one from 'being entirely extin
guished by-them.- .
They are made for the moat part of
beaver, ' velvet and fur, and they are
trimmed simply, elther-vwlth quills, a
velvet bow or -an upright hussar tuft
of stiff, eut off feathers. '
Therear all aorta of combinations of
color permitted in -the new fashion. A
pretty brown turban may have a great
splashing bow of turquoise velvet and
no other ornament whatever; another
pretty combination is pearl grey beaver
trimmed with emerald green velvet
, Another. nea,t turban s made of dark
green - beaver and has two -large o.uiHs

TEv TOKlC'Deo, 6. It is undoubt-1
l "edly true that the new gowns are
elaborately trimmed, but the de
tails of decoration are not obtrusive.
There are no outstanding frills, nothing
that glares at you as purely and en
tirely ornamental You do not see a
rosette or a buckle or a panel. It Is
the ensemble that strikes you " a
glance end it Is because the decorative
element- la. aq, thoroughly . part of the
costume. Halt the details are bo perfect
ly lo harmony, with .the' gown proper.
Md"wtheaeti other, .that they have
ceased to be .'details, when the gown Is
reedy to wear, and votf are conscious
only of the costume In Us entirely. .Just
as you see a bit of embroidery or a
painting. - It Is not the separate psrts
that appeal to you,, but the whole as a
work of art.: ... v' . .
One of the striking features of the
present fashion is the return to favor
of gold as a part of the decorative
scheme - in women's costumes. I-ong
ngo a fashionable woman considered
herself In the top of style If she had
a black" and gold evening frock. - The
desire for them passed away with the
fashion, but now there IS a revival of
it. The fabrics used are liberty vel
vet, chiffon clotlv meteor crepe, and
especially satin. Dlrectolre. gowns are
built of the latter fabric with heavy
gold embroidery at the hem. , up center
of the short-walsfed bodice and over
the shoulders. When sleeves and yoke
are added,1 they are of black net,
touched with threads of gold.
Many of the new evening gowns of
filmy, Sheer material are now dropped
over a brilliant lining of cloth of gold.
This Is a soft prepense fabric, without
any of the body of what was once
known by that name. Such a lining
should not be full. It is cut on narrow,
straight lines and Hooks' well under
folds of a filmy fabric over it. I V
Gold .slippers have also returned to J j
favor, as an accessory to fashl&nlrMfcWs
COStumes, no mailer , wnouirr utu im
emnlnvad In them or not. These slip
pers are made of gold satin, cloth of
fa
tola. DUl more irequenny ui em nmir-
l. with the latter shoes small hot
ties with gliding liquid are sola, to en
able the -wearer of the shoes to renew
their brilliancy from time to time,
should' - they t become - soiled or dull.
Bronse slippers -are-also much In evi
dence and are -usually worn with stock
ings; of bronse. tint,, matching that of
the shoes. ' . .v.
It is a fortunate thing for both stout
women and. thin.- that fashion, has
placed .the stamp of its approval "upon
smooth as well as rough fabrics. There
Is nothing In the line of dress materials

the flrfvAntarA that every woman can
dress in the material and style most
becoming to her form and physical ae
velopment. A. stout woman should avoid
rough fabrics, . aa she would broad
trlDns. Hhe must choose thin, soft
cloths even for . outdoor wear. For
such women there are fabrics of such
pollsnand luster that, not a fraction ef
size is aauea xo me iiKurs uj wiein.
For the thin rough materials are the
most appropriate and never 'has there
been such a variety of rough and bulky
materials In the market as now.
As a usual thing, furs remain ' In
style three years, growing gradually In
favor and then gradually decreasing.
Each year a new favorite creeps in, so
that there are three furs - in vogue,
coming in. In high favor, and going out.
The furriers, buy heavily of the furs
coming In - and the women who think
ahead, will follow his example. , Furs
come back Into style only about every
nine or ten years,, and no mutter .how
carefully they are.- kept,-they -:: will, de

Only the best furs will re

It is wise to buy only the best even, of
the cheaper1 kinds- ef -furs. r -.- .... '
Extremely long redingotes with wide
pointed lapels of contrasting color are
decidedly fashionable at present. A
ooetume of this character was seen at
a fasbionable function th other day.
The material was violet serge trimmed
with black passementerie frogs. , The
revere were of white cloth and the
wings extending- over them of black
satin. -'This form of redlngote Is quite
sure of continued favor during the win
ter, after the ultra styles from Paris
have established themselves. The skirt
Is made perfectly tight, opening at the
side back under a coarse .stitching of
black. One seam Is turned over an
other and decorated with small black
crochet buttons. Some of the tight-fitting
skirts accompanying- the redlngote
have a bias seam down the front, but
these ara usually a sad failure, as they
are sure to sag . at the sides., and the
chic of the aMort skirt Is to have it hang
evenly all around. Many of the new
skirts are faced for ten or twelve inch
es with silk, but no lining Is used and
no petticoat. Is worn with them, if the
owner wishes to follow the dictates of
fashion. - "-
-Paris milliners have introduced the
new fad of perfuming the hats with the
scent- of the flowers with which they
are decorated- As this Is a flower year

perfume are easily obtained, the fad Is
becoming quite popular. It Is not prob

THE MOTHERS' CORNER
Nutmeg-Poisoning.
From Youths' Companion.
POISONING by nutmegs is not an
accident that one need stand in
great fear of, for this spice is
usually not found in a form that
adapts It for eating In large quan
tity even by the omnivorous and sharp
toothed small boy. Nutmeg poisoning
however, does actually occur at times,
and when It does occur it is not at all
a joke. A searcher after the Curious
has collected the reports of 25 cases
published In recent medica literature,
and the science of probftllttles shows
that there are usually 10 unreported
cases of any unusual occurrence for one
that.'ls published. This form of poison
ing Is therefore not so very rare.
Nutmeg is .sometimes ground in large
quantities, especially in bakeries, ami
In some households even it is kept In
powdered form.' Mace,; which gives rise
to the same symptoms, is sometimes
carelessly nibbled in amounts sufficient
to cause unpleasant results; a teaspoon
ful of this sploe has been known to
Induce serious symptoms, .and a single
nutmeg powdered may poison a child.
Nutmeg ia soporific in its effects, and
the chief symptom of poisoning by It,
or mace, is - drowsiness, followed by
stupor. There is an uncontrollable de
sire to sleep, and although in the be
ginning the patient can ne roused by
being spoken to in a loud voice, he soon
becomes stupid.
Sometimes before the stupor there is
delirium, or loud, meaningless laughter.
This stupor appears In five, or six hours
after the poison is taken, and may be
preceded by nausea and giddiness. The
pulse is sometimes feeble and rapid, the
extremities are cold, and the skin Is
is an English recipe for cooking It:
Tripe Pastry Take a piece of fat
tripe, large enough to fold In two. like
a pasty; cut one or two onions In small
pieces, sesaon with sage, pepper and
salt; mix the onions and seasoning
well together, lay the onions on the
tripe and fold the half of the tripe over
the onions. Then take a darning needle
filled with white cotton and sew the
two edges together. Just enough to
keep the stuffing from falling out;
lay It in a deep pie dish, put a bit
of bacon or ham on the top of the pasty,
and as you turn the pasty the bacon
must be replaced. A little flour must
be rubbed over the outside of the
pasty, and baked a nice brown; make
gravy with 1t. Bread stuffing can be
mhBtltiiteri If desired.
Have - you tried beef loaf? This Is
the way to make n; two pounas
round of beef, . threeKJuarters pound
fresh nork. out through a meat cutter.
Seven rolled common crackers. Pour a
llttte -boiling' water over tne rouea
crackers, just to moisten; 1 egg (beat
en), 1 teaspoon salt I teaspoon sage,
pepper to taste, a dash of cayenne. Mix
all well together and form into a bread
loaf else and put Into pan, with three
or four short pieces fat pork laid on
top.' It may be cooked about two hours.
Serve in slices either hot or cold. .
The favorite dish in Philadelphia is
scrapple, and It Is made In this way:
Boil three or 'four pounds of fresh
pork ,qulte fat) until -very tender;
then take out the meat, and season
the water in which' It was boiled, and
thicken it with yellow cornmeal. ,' as
thick as for hasty pudding, and let
It oook . for a long, time to cook the
meat thoroughly. J' " ,
. Chop the meat tolerably fine, season
well, and add it to the mush. When it
la cooked put it Into square bread tins
to cool; when cold, cut in allces, and
fry In a spider until brown. It should
not require any fat for frying.

Cottons and Linens. ;
; Colored cottons and linens should be
laid in cold salt and water, mixed with
a little pulverized alum, and left there
for an hour at least before they are
washed. , Then wring out the brine
and rinse in clear cold water. Next
wash at once in tepid suds, unless you
prefer to use soap bark or bran water.
This last Is excellent for colored ging

1 Jiowl Dishes.
Preserved Apple To six pounds of
rather tart apples use three pounds of
granulated sugar. Pare, quarter and
core the apples and cook the skins in
enough water to cover. Sprinkle sugar
over the apples and let them stand until
the sugar is thoroughly dissolved.
Strain the water from the skins and
pour boiling hot over the apples; then
let them stand until cold, then heat and
pour the water again over the apples to
harden them.. Repeat several times and
add the Juice and grated rind of one or
ange or lemon, as suits the fancy, and
cook slowly until the pieces of apple
seem clear.
Oyster Shortcake Make a rich biscuit
dough, the same as for tea biscuit, but
steam over hot water Instead of bak
ing. Split open and spread with hot
butter and creamed ' oysters to which
beaten eggs have been added Just before
they are removed from the fire. Serve
at once. '
Christmas Cake.
Cream one half pound of butter and
one half pound of sugar, one half pound
and two ounces of flour; brown half the
flour In the oven: separate the yolks
from the whites of eight eggs and add
beaten yolks to the first mixture. Add
one teaspoonful of cream of tartar to
the whites, beat well and add to other
mixture; then add flour, well sifted,
with one nutmeg, grated, three tea
spoonfuls of cassia and one fourth tea
spooi)ful of ground cloves. Reserve
flour enough to dredge 2H pounds of
currants, one half pound of citron, one
quarter pound of candled lemon peel,
one half pound of ground almonds, two

rather In clammy sweat, the condition
being one of collapse. Death has re
sulted from nutmeg poisoning,'' but this
is not common. Usually the stupor
passes off in 1! to 24 hours, and In a
day or two the patient is as well as
ever, but with a lasting distaste for
nutmeg as a seasoning.
If a child Is known to have swallowed
a large quantity of nutmeg powder or
mace, It will be well to induce vomiting
to get rid of the stuff. After the symp
toms have appeared, the treatment will
consist in the application of hot bottles
and In other measures to maintain the
warmth of the body, giving no food,
but as much water as may be desired,
In moat cases, unless the dose has been
enormous, recovery will follow after a
few anxious hours.1

"What! Sing the baby to sleep? Yes,
indeed, and pat arid rub his little back.
If necessary, and in general mnke him

that babies have many obscure discom

they call them organic discomforts

give them many little foolish comforts."

and the little locks will be curly next

? How" to Make Hotbeds.
ANT One .not experienced might think
it a very easy thing to make a
hotbed, but he will and after be
has been In the business for years, he
will sometimes fail, says the New York!
Witness. It requires a great deal more
care and attention for early beds than
for those late in the season. The first
thing Is to select a warm sheltered spot,
on the south side of some building, and
It ahould be protected from the cold
west winds. After leveling the ground,
haul your fresh horse manure (there
should: be considerable straw mixed with
ltv and put in a pile, off to one -side,
where you want the bed. In hauling be
careful to have It well shaken apart, so
there will be no lumps in It After this
has lain from one to three days, accord
ing to the state of the manure when
hauled and the weather, commence and
shake the manure evenly over the place
prepared for the bed, till the manure is
not less than 20 or 24 Inches thick. It
should extend IS Inches beyond - the
frame on every side. Before (tutting on
the frame, take a wide board, and begin
one one side and go over the bed, laying
the board on and pressing down by
walking on It This will keep the sur
face level.
it the weather be cool, the manure
should be covered as .quickly aa possible
with earth. Common garden soil will
be the best for the first two or three
Inches on the manure, as It will hold
the water better than soil from the
woods, but the top ahould always be
light soil from the woods and rotted
logs. It will not pack or bake after
watering. The dirt ahould be not less
than seven or .eight inches deep; this
will give the plants a good bed to make
roots before reaching the manure. As
soon as the dirt Is on and leveled, put
your sash on and cover up tight with
boards of straw; then bank up your bed
to the top of the frame with manure,
and let it remain covered up for SI or
40 hours. This will give the bed time
to cool off from the first heat, and also
any weed seed to germinate that may be
In the dirt. Before sowing your seed
rake the bed and pulverise all the clods;
then mark out In rows, north and south,
not less than six Inches spart; scatter In
about five or six to the Inch; water and
cover up again, and leave till the plants
begin to come up, which will be In from
two days to a week, depending on the
heat of your bed.
