Though the duties and joys of the holi
day season are suppused to divert the mind
.eminiue from Fashion, that fascinating
dame refuses to be forgotton and protrudes
herscll as persis.entiy aa ever. A haud
touie jow u was shoun privately the other
day. It wa of palest green silk, white
chiffon, white velvet ribben and pale green
ribbon; black lace, black velvet and jet,
ami ail these various materials werecum-
b ned lu a most pleasing lashioa. The
pale green silk predominated, ot course.
Tne black isce was observed in three little
flounces at the Jeer, in deep flounces below
the shoulder pulls and iu another deep
flounce around the decollete corsage. The
white chifion lormed a ruche above
the black ruffles on the skirt, a finely

at the Pittsburg Club is announced for to

includes the names of many ot the best
known society ladies of the city.
The blushing buds of the holiday season
have their Christina gowns all prepared.
One seen last week was of pink gauze,
lightly embroidered with silk dots. The
skirt was draped to some little extent, and
bordered at the loot with two broad bands
of roses, separated by a fine plaitint: of pink
chiffon. The bodice was the prettv part of
it, however, for over a 'plaiting of chiffon
which formed a berthe were laid two thick
rows of the same pink roses. One lav right
against the lou-cut neck, the other a little
below, but curving up on each side, finally
touched the upper one on the shoulder, so
that the plaiting could fall loosely. Then
over the roses, starting at the top band and
running down to the waist, were two full
rolls of plain chiffon, which widened as they
fell, and eventually disappeared under the
arms, melting into the fullness of the waist
itself. This little corselet was the chief
charm of the dress, and added the youthful
appearance necessary, ior a very young girl
was to wear it.
"ThePupeant of the T( ear," Boston's Im
portant society event, took pl.ice last night.
It was a festival that cannot be described In

another wan ihn.vias deux of the Mo-qulto

tumed to xepresent the New Jersey product
and the uunelcome uenizeD or the Garden
of Eden respectively. A very prott idea of
a snowstorm was conveyed liv ten charming
maidmB in white, with snow flake veils, who
danced to a graceful measure written by a
skillful composer. Tho whole entertain
ment u as pretty iu spirit aud well carried
out.

Let me give you what I consider the most
successful methods of preparlnir these
dishes. For. the oyster soup take two
quarts of pi lme oysters. Turn them into a
colander and place over a atew pan large
enough at the top to catch all the liquor
that drops from the colander. Lift out the
oysters, ono by one, with a spoon, nover
with a fork, and ee that all piecos of shell
nre detached. BlnBethe colander, put the
osters In again and dash oer them about
a quart of boiling water. Then instantly
throw over them about the snme quantity
oi ice cold water. This is called "plumping"
them. Put the liquor on the stove nnd re
mnvo the scum as it gathers. Now add to
the liquor two quarts of new milk and let
come to the boil. Protect the kettle in such
a way that the contents cannot scorch.
Add two tablespoonfnU of fiesh buttor,
turn In the oyteis and remove the
moment their edges beidn to ruffle, navo
the soup tureen warm and put In it two
tablespoonfuls oi homemade cracker meal.
Now pour in the soup, season to taste with
suit and pepper, and add a tablespoon! ul of
lemon juice Have the sonp plates well
warmed and serve without delay,
oyster soup made alter this recipe is more
troublesome than with the oidinary meth

The Use of Opium Becoming
More Prevalent.
While "Pain is Still Here With Its
Everlasting Presence."
Fortunately a Safe and Sura Way of
Relief Now Within Reach,
That charming physician, 8. Weir Mitch
ell, whom Harvard with fine discrimina
tion has made a doctor of laws, says he Is
sure the opium, morphia and chloral habits
are becoming more provalent than they
weroa generation ago.
And he Is sure, too, that a part of this
serious state ot affairs lie's in the readiness
with which many physicians give seuatives.
The temptation of nslng anaesthetics or
medicines that contain them is certainly to
De feared.
Among women especially.
For if to man pain is accidental, with
women it Is incidental, common.
But while "pain Is still here with Its ever
lasting presence," there is, fortunately, a
safe and sure wav of relief from the aohes
and pain that afflict so many women, and a
method that physicians practice in their
oin homes. "Instead or dosing their inno
cent stomachs with u lot or medicine, i-ald a
Globe reporter's imormant, one of the bear
known dooiors in the city yesterday, "I
have my wife put on a Bell-cnp-slc plaster,
which I think any physician of standing in
the city will tell ou Is the best remedy
there Is for verymnny.fonns of ailment. I
was one of those who first solicited J. M.
Grosvenor & Co. to put these best of plasters
into the drui; stoies, where the pnbllo as
well as phsiclaivs could get them. The
peculiar medicinal agents of this plaster
act by absoiptlon upun the circulatory sys
tem, removing the causes of the disease."
Ball-cap-sic plasters have many points of
superiority over ull others, besides the fact
that they give speedy and lasting relief.
For Instance, they are readily removed.
They are invaluable in chrouic cases of
rheumatism.
Ally drujKist sells them ror 25 Cents apiece.
But when you call for one tlie best nay ot
being sure that you get what yon aslc for,
and not somo worthless or worse than
worthless imitation, is to look on the back,
cloth for the plctuieof a hell. Every Bell-cap-slo
plaster has the picture of a bell on
the back-cluth.
