The French rind Ita'inns oxccl In the
nrt of inaUlns nutritious sourj3. Ho
was a Frcmmnan who paid that "soup
was to a Ulnnor what an overture was
to an opera." 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

A simple soup is mado of tomato s
and macaroni, rut ono quart of w aler

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;

One seldom considers that gait Is a
matter of fashion, but It is In the
timo of large hoops and farthingales a
short, waddling step was the mode, and
tho affectation known ns tho "Grecian
bend" will be lememboied by most
adults, rnshlon and hygiene have
never bein so llttlo nt vatlnnce as at
present when an upright, stralghtfor
waul gait Is In vogue An elect nos
tme of the bodv nccoidlng to tho dltec
tlons given military cadets, "chin In,
chest out nnd stomnch in," should be
observed The lower ixti entitles should
bs swung foi ward fiom tho hip Joint
freely and easily, the foot coming down
on the toes llrbt, then tho rest of the
foot, tho heel reaching the ground last.
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.
Max O'ltell declnics that an Ilngllsh
lndy walks with her arms hanging
down, supporting heiself on her heels;
tho Trench lady wnlks with her arms
bent, supporting herself on her toes. 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. In
this way many of the irregularities of
gait, Indicative either of nervous dls

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.

Then tho small boy (poor little tar

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

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

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

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

White lace on striped silk may be used
in a similar manner with excellent ef

BLACK TRIMMINGS
have made their appearance this sea

demanding homo modification Black
satin ties are displayed on new shltt
waists In the windows in large num

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.
