Soup prepares the utom ach for what is to come, ami should be carefully mndo to be palatabk- nnd nutritious. Nothing perliaps will le fresh a person more quickly than a little Rood hot soup. Long1 and slow bollliiB is necessary to extract tho. strength from the meat. If boiled lap idly over a hot ilro the meat becomes hard and touch and will not jrlvo" out Its Juices. Fresh, lean and Juicy meats make tho best soups. Cracked bones nnd gristle also should bo used, ti they possess tho Belatlno matter nocessarv to solidify tho stock into a Jellied mass when cold. Meat alone will produce a broth like beef tea. One quart of cold water for each pound of meat is the rule for common eoups, but less water will make a rich er stock. Keep tho kettle covered closely and let the meat only s-linnwr over a slow lire for several hours or until tho meat 1b tender. As the moat cooks a scum will come to the surface, and it should uo carefully removed with a skimmer. Strain the soup when done into a stock pot, for which a stone jar is best. Tut aside uncoveied until the liquid is cold and thu fat has concealed on tho surface, when every particle may then bo readily romoved. A srensv soup is not acreeablo to take or look at nnd is unwholesome. This etoc k will keep homo timo it put in a cold place and kept covered. An endless variety of soups may be made fiom it by heating a portion of the jelly and adding different llavorlngs, -veKetnblis, Reasonings, nnd thickening to hiilt the taste. Thickened f-oups should be moio highly seasoned than thin soups. Delicate llavors should be added to tho soui-j just before they are taken from the flro or the llavor is lost bj evaporation. A filled stock pot is a ne cessity to every housewife, for it mnkes tho foundation for nil sauce, s-oui nnd gravies. A white stock is madi from veal and chicken and is used foi cream sfnd white soups. Left-overs, bits of meat, bones, nnd pieces of poul try and game, muy bo made into a stock that Is excellent for many things, but will not answer for clenr souos Pearl tapioca soaked In a llttlo cold water and then put Into a cleav houp and cooked with it looks nice, besliks being a great addition. Here are a few recipes lor eome special soups; CHICKEN AND SAGO. Chicken and tago soup: Cut a good Blzed fowl into pieces and put into a kettle with one sliced onion and three quarts of water. Iloil the fovv 1 slow ly, keeping tho Kettle covered until the liquid Is reduced one-half in quantity, then strain and let tlio liquid remain uncovered until cold. Wash one-quarter of 0. pound of pearl sago in seveinl waters, then soak for half an hour in water enough to cover it. Remove the fat from tho strained soup, return to tho fire, add the soaked sago and cook half an hour, stirring the liquid often to prevent the sago from lumping or settling to tho bottom and scorching Heat one pint of milk to tho boiling point. Meanwhile beat the yolks of four eggs very light and stir tho boiling milk into them. When they aro well mixed turn the custaid Into the hot roup, stirring all tho while. Season with pepper and salt, boll up once and Bervo immediately. Veals may bo sub btltutcd for tho fowl, and makes ae:y nlco soup. A simple soup is mado of tomato s and macaroni, rut ono quart of w aler over tho flro to boll, and bait It to taste. When tho water bolls throw in two handfuls of royal egg macaroni tint lias been broken into small pious cover and let it cook slowly for om hour. Add ono cup of stew id and strained tomatoes that aro well i-e.v-soned; add also one cup of eieam or rich mill:, rook a moment after add ing this liquid, nnd serve This soup is easily made upon short notice and Is excellent. A rich and delicious soup to serve foi a company luncheon or dinner Is tallui bisque of lobster. To make it put Into an earthen bowl one cupful of bollod lobster meat cut Into small pleenx nnd the same amount of boiled rice; rub them to a paste, stir in white stock enough to make the paste a thick liquid mush, nnd rub it thiough a sieve Put the strained toup in a double- bod. er, and when it is thoroughly heated rtir in Bechamel sauco until tho mix ture is of the thickness of cream soup Add a good teaspoonful of butter, put. ting in a small piece nt a time. Stir each piece well into the liquid befoio adding tho second piece. Turn into the tureen, scatter tiny bquares of bread that have been fried in butter over the top, and serve. A Bechamel s.iuco is made by tfikln two cups of thick white sauro and heating to boiling point: then add ono cup of boiling milk and the same quan tlty of cream, also heated to the b(;i. Ing point; season highly with salt nnd , paprika und strain. MOCK TUUTLn. To make a black bean soup, which often Is called mock turtle: Wash one pint of black beans nnd put in a bowl turn cold water enough over them to cover them when they ore swollen, and lot them soak over night. In tho morn. Ing turn tho beans into a soup kettle add to them live quarts of cold water half a pound of salt pork, cut into fcmall pieces, and ono-quarter of a pound of lean, fresh beef. Cover the kottle and place over a moderate ilro to cook slowly. Orate ono small turnip ono. carrot, nnd throe medium-sized onions; add them to the other ingredi ents. Half an hour beforo serving timo add salt, pepper, and ground cloves, putting in enough to bo tasted distinctly. Strain 'through a colander and add a- gill of sherry or port wine. Meanwhile boll two eggs hard, ellce them, and put tho slices In tho bottom of the tureen. Thoroughly heat tho soup, turn over them, and serve. This ONU WOMAN WHO SkMSMm MRS.

There has been much discussion in re gard to which poitlon of the foot should llrst be pluced upon tho ground In walk ing, but w i Iters now generally agree that tho toes should come down first: they aie organs of feeling and give a sense of support to the body. The nat ural way of walking has been studied by obseivlng Indians and Arabs, and It hus been iound that those who walk best and most gracefully point the toes downward, stepping on them flist.

It Is said that French ladles nctually pi no tice walking on the toes with a slipper having an India-rubber ball beneath tho heel, The ball squeaks when sub jected to pressure, nnd tho object is to mov freely without eliciting this squeak. Tho turning of tho toes out in walk ing Is not so much dwelt upon as for merly. Tho ungraceful toeing-ln should, of course, bo avoided, but tho angle made by bringing tho heels together and turning tho toes out, military fash Ion, need not be practised so Industri ously as old-tlmo precepts dictate. Tho study of the gait, and of the best meth ods of walking is now prosecuted by means of prints of tho soles of tho feet either mndo by walking In soft clay or by chalking or blackening the solos.

Tho Delineator. DON'T DO IT. Avoid Discussing Irritating Subjects nt the Dinner Table. Piom tho Doston Herald. Why is it that In most households tho dinner table becomes a dumping ground for the wholesala plaints of its members? Probably because this Is tho only meal of the day when the entire family meet together, and each one feels It a duty to air a few person al giievance.s in older to seek consola tion from the others. Out of defeience to digestion, if for no other reason, dinner-table conver sation should bo of the spiciest, but this fact Is lost sight of In the gen eial desire of eveijbody, from papa down to the youngsters, to serve up only thobo topics which have marred rather than made the day's happiness. Haidly has tho man of the house fin ished his carving duties before ho falls Into on anlmatid financial discussion with his wife. Household expenses are lehashed, bills giumbled over, and tho cost of Hv Ing recalculated with tedious legularlty. Mother, In her tvnn, eagerly pours into any listening ear her domestic woe:. Tho daj's eirors below btairs aio minutely recorded She sighs over Pildget's butter vvastc declares that the butcher's Indifference to her order Is becoming intolerable, and so on. Then tho small boy (poor little tar get for family llavv-plcklng) comes In for his share of ciltlclsm. His failures at school aro lelentlessly raked up, and all sorts of punishments threat ened unless thero is speedy refoim. If theie are guests present this talk of the Inner circle is, for courtesy's sake, given a less personal llavor, but only then. "Good cheer and plenty of it" Is not tho motto of the average family dinner. New, but Not Always Upcoming.

Special Correspondence, to Tho Tribune. New York, May 7. Amid tho variety of llght-w eight summer materials, foulard silks combine so many advant ages, that ono realises that nn outfit Is incomplete without a colored cos tume which Is suitable for any occa sion; Impervious to damp weather and nlwajs light and cool. Pluo, green or brown surfaces are well covered with "all over" designs in white, and to gether with black and white, other colors are almost excluded, except in high grade taffetas or moires. Plain or brocaded grenadines show to great ad vantago over colored silk linings, nnd when several broad ecru lace bands aro inseited In skirts of fancy stuffs (which are nccordlon-plalted), the ef fect Is very striking. These high class novelties can never become common, as they retail at $! CO per yard. Hobe patterns of very' line, smooth cloth In plain colors, come with silk embroid ered bordcts (the sklits nlready shaped), always in two shades of the same color, and ure reasonable nt $15. IT IS ALMOST APPALLING to see the hand-work that may be be stowed upon a summer costume, tucks now being used In every Imaginable way on skirts extending down a few inches from tho waist all around, lengthwise or crosswise on sleeves or waists, and nothing Is moro recherche than a llnely tucked Inner vest of white lawn. A sleeve of thin material Is a work of ait; so full that two frills stand out nt cither slde, or else rows of lace cross narrow velvet ribbon (In foulard waists), and even coat sleeves of heavy material are edged by bul let buttons A HL.UR AND WHITD TOULAHD SILK has a plain skli t, gathered on three large cords, a few Inches below the waist, and full front corsage, with a tucked yoko (Mine at back and front) edged with a ft 111 of the material. From the loft shoulder to the waist, Is a wide rullle of white silk embroidered chiffon, finished by a white satin rib bon bow nnd a second bow is on the right shoulder, a third being placed whero the frill is attached to the shouldei The slecveis are gathered on three laige cords, which run on tho outside of the aim to the .shoulder scam. Bias folds are plaited quite full at each side of the s-leeve, and a white satin llbbon collai and belt give com pletion. itnvnns HAvn i3i:nN to a considerable extent an optional mattei , but the latest fancy Is ono of good size, coming down to the waist, often edgeel by lace, and with nccoi-dlon-plalted chllfon front, a bretelle effect Is attained. Many ilton jackets open quite far up the back, over a species of lace or plalded silk IkhIIcc and In this way pieces of slllc or lace which have bieu lying by If renovate 1 with IVOHY SOAP, come out flesh and bright, thus i-avlng the expense of new material. The most stylish wide bPlt" hive a point at back and fiont, or a laige libbon bow mny be substituted at th" back. Very wide libbon Is .somctlmts folded Into the requited shape, or nar row ribbon used as straps Sashes were never in greater demand, usuallv tied at the side, alwavs the finishing touch to a pretty summer dress.

In order that trimmings may be brought nearer tho front, and the yoko effect which is veiy novel Is best Il lustrated in crapes, foulards or any such goods. A LOVELY WHITD GUHNADINn dress, made over green silk, allows a four-inch band of white lace inden tion around the lower edge of tho skirt, nnd a second row comes down from tho waist nt each side of the front breadth, shaped Into pointed cor ners and extending to tho back, where four rows run up tto the waist. Th corsago Is full with lengthwise row-. of lace at back and front, and five across the sleeves which aro on the mou.squetalro order A long, full sash of green chiffon Is tied around the waist with a large bow at the left Jde, anel tho collar Is a combination of white satin ribbon and green chiffon White lace on striped silk may be used in a similar manner with excellent ef fect, or on brocaded grenadines, la wlifch case black Is most nppropilato. BLACK TRIMMINGS have made their appearance this sea son earlier than usual, color extremes demanding homo modification Black satin ties are displayed on new shltt waists In the windows in large num bers, and a gray moire canvas costumo seen at a leading house was so lib erally trimmed with black satin so as to look really sombre. The "red" hats aro beautiful where the materials aie all fine, foliage avoided, and black plumes tone clown tho color, but if a coarso straw is loaded with cheap trimming, the result becomes repul sive. Pink on "red" hats Is very un desliable, and many persons prefer black and white relieved with cerise. Purple hats aro quite as glailng and not so handsome as the "red" a color which, if left to tho discretion of thoso lacking In taste, becomes dangerous. Crimson parasols may have a band of whlto parasol with a crimson ennmcled handle and top, nnd crimson ribbon concealing tho ribs Inside, Is very at ti active, tiactive. Fannie Tleld.
