NEW YORK CITY (Special). —Now that the fichu eftects ou gowns have aecotne so fashionable, a separate >ne will be found a uiost useful acldi- TR.IANON FICHU. :iou to the summer wardrobe, giving in up-to-date and picturesque touch ;o any number of gowns with which it may be worn. This one, called the Trianon, from Harper's Bazar, is one }f the newest models. Its folds are •specially designed to give a perfect shape, and it is cut with narrow stole 3nds in front, as a foundation for the ruffles that ornament the front. Mousseline de soie, chiffon, mull or point d'esprit are suitable materials TWO TRETTY BODICES, DECORATED 3IODISIILY WITH LACE. for its development, with self material | or lace ruflles. The self-ruffles may j be further embellished by tiny ruches, • top and bottom, and by the lower edge j being cut in scallops. This fichu can j be worn just simply pinned at the bust as here shown, or it can be knot ted at the bust and allowed to hang loose. It can also be crossed and fastened with a bow each side at the waist line; or, it can be crossed on the bust, with the ends taken around and fastened at the waist in the back. Infinite variety may be obtained by a little tasteful variation iu its arrange ment and the judicious use of a few ribbon bows or rosettes. Two Ways of Using Luce. This is another season of lace, and one of the prettiest methods of em ploying this ever-favorite material is in lace revers, collars and boleros on thiu waists. The charming bolero shown in the large engraving is of heavy white lace done in a bow knot design and scol loped around the edge. Worn over a French organdie of pink and white this little bolero a very dainty effect. Through the edges of the lace are run two rows of narrow black velvet ribbon, making a big bow where the two sides meet. The other illustration shows the popular lace revere which extends to a square collar at the back. This is, of course, Russian lace, and is worn with a of mauve crepe de chine or soft cashmere. A tucked front and collar of white chiffon lends a dainty touch to this toilette. Five Tticlcs 'Round tlie Hem. Young girls wear foulards with skirts made comparatively plain com pared with the elaborate models worn by older women. Straight skirts cut quite full, especially in the back' breadths, clothe the slender, girlish figure. The hem of the skirt is covered with Ave tucks in a group, each measuring either an inch in width, or half an inch, as preferred. Five is the canonical number for •'hem tucks," as an uneven number presents a neater finish than the even oount. Hut For a Garden Party. What do you say to the modish bat worn at a garden party recently with an esquisite toilet of flowered siik and lace? The hat frame is covered with flounces of Liberty gauze care- j fully shaped. Each flounce is bound with satin to match. The hat is in pale violet gauze, so the only other trimming beyond the little flounces is a spray of flowers and foliage exe cuted in black satin, and showing here and there a dewdrop of Rhine crystal, very small, trembling on petal and leaf. Tallor-Matle Taftetas. The tailor-made taffeta is as macli of a success for a summer gown as the same cloth frock which the tailors turn out for winter wear. Tailor stitching is'conspicuous here, and the whole garment shows the military cut and finish which delights us in our heavy "tailor-mades." Other silks, foulards, Indias, Lonisine, surah, etcetera, are not used for the purpose, but the "tailor-made" taffeta has un mistakable chic and style utamped upon the garment. Gossamer Tea Gowns. Silk muslin with brocaded boleros is employed for tea gowns made up with bands of fur, and a great many of thefti are made as princess dresses, with the fashionable cluny or maltese insertions let in from the neck to the feet. Coats of silver and jet paillettes are supplemented fcr tea gowns by gossamer underdresses and have light, colored sashes round the waist. Moro blue is employed for these dresse? than any other color. Low Lvinn lints For Summer Wear. The chic summer hats lie broad and low over the brow of the pretty young girl. They are not what you would call broad-brimmed affairs, but the crown opening i3 so wide aud low that it accommodates the entire head and almost rests upon the top of the ears. 1 The boat-shape and endless modifica tion of low toques are the choice 1 shapes, and they are smartly trimmeJ 1 with flowers aud foliage. Renaissaiice Braid. i Renaissance lace braid is used a? a trimming for silk waists, sewed ot , in a straight line between groups o: tucks and for wash dresses in a trellii design. A Wash l>re*H Model. Now that milady's early sum mer gown is un fait accompli she devotes her time and thoughl to the midsummer ones, so a: to be prepared for much warmei weather. A more charming model foi a wash gown could hardly be founc than this pretty sketch from Har per's Bazar. It combines both origin ality and unnsualness of design witb extreme smartness of mode. White-ground percale with dark blue polka dots is the material em ployed here, and the effective mannei of using the embroidery inserting, as well as its decorative points, make it attractive in the extreme. The plain dark blue percale trimmiug bauds i PERCALE WASH GOWN. give character to the design, beside relieving a too light-toned effect. The yoke is of tucked white lawn. FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. , Proper Way to Cook Splnaott. To cook spinach properly pick each leaf from the stem and carefully wash in several waters. Drain and put it in a naucepan of boiling water with a desertspoouful of salt; cover it and let it boil until quite salt, stirring occasionally; drain and squeeze the ivater from it, chop fine and again put into a saucepan, stirring in butter, pepper, salt aud flour, which already nave been mixed. Let it remain over ;he tire until it comes to a boil. A:>ple Caramel Pudding:. Peel, core and slice enough sour ipples to measure a pint. Cook them ilowly in a saucepan in two table ipoonfuls of butter until soft; then idd one cupful of sugar, one-quarter >f a teaspoouful of cinnamon aud two ;ablespoonfuls of caramel and simmer 'or 20 minutes. Mix together one and i half cupfuls of stale breadcrumbs, jne-half cupful of crumbled stale nacaroonsand one-half cupful of seed ess raisins, or this amount of other licely prepared fruit, such as figs, lates or berries. Butter a deep dish md fill with alternate layers of apples ind bread mixture, having crumbs on op. Bake half an hour in rather a lot oven and servo cold with cream or • soft custard. An Old Recipe for Soda Bl«cn!t. An old California recipe for soda oiscuit, dating from the days when making powder was unknown, is still lsed in many kitchens of the old re iidenters, and with most admirable •esults. Given experience aud prac sice, the tiny, spongy biscuit thus ivolved are as liglit as the proverbial 'eather. A medium dough is mixed at light of sour milk, flour and a pinch >f salt. In the morning this is rolled >ut on the mol ling board, with just a ait of flour to keep it from sticking, ind over the top is sprinkled the .iniest bit of soda, beating in mind :hat the sourer the milk the less soda lsed. Roll lightly and fold over. Repeat three times; cut into biscuit ibjut the size of a silver dollar, and bake in a slower oven than is required "or baking powder biscuit. Piccadilly Fruit Pie. One pound of chopped and seedea raisins, one pound of currants, one half pound of citron aud the rind of two lemons chopped fine, the juice of the lemons and enough preserves aud jellies to make one gallon. Add oue desertspoonful each of ground cinna mon and allspice, one half teaspoouful each of cloves and mace and one grated nutmeg. Mix well and let it stand over night. For the crust, roll out pieces of pie paste the size of the bottom of the pie pan with raw crust, cover with a layer of the mince and a baked crust, then another layer of tnince aud cover the top with a raw crust. Bake until well done. When the pies are cold clip them out of the pans, roll them iu cloths and keep iu a dry place. An Appetizing Some people take much trouble about the simplest kinds of cooking and without satisfactory results. One simple dish for the table that is very good aud appetizing and may be served with many things is creamed potatoes. If the potatoes are uot good and uot well cooked they are un palatable. Some very good cooks in preparing creamed potatoes goto the trouble of making a white sauce, thickening it with flour. That is ab solutely unnecessary. To keep the potatoes from being watery the milk should be put on the stove aud brought to nearly the boiling point before the potatoes, cat in moderate size pieces, are added. Then they must simmer from 20 minutes to half au hour, and at the Old of that time they will have thickened the milk to the proper creamy consistency. They are very simple to prepare, but easily spoiled. By addiug a little grated cheese stirred iuto the potatoes with a little more on top, and putting in a hot oven to brown they bacome Del monico potatoes, with a distinct flavor of their own, not noticeably of the cheese, and there is uothiug better in the way of potatoes. Household Hint*. Embroidery should always be ironed on the wrong side to bring out the design. All green vegetables keep their color better if boiled rapidly and left uncovered. Eating freely of watercress for sev eral consecutive days will remove tar tar of loug standing from the teeth. Rub ivory knife handles that have become yellow with age or use with number 00 saudpaper or fine emery. To prevent the fringe of towels aud doylies from breaking aud wearing oft snap the article when the fringe is damp. To blanch is to scald with boiling water so that the skins of fruits, nuts and sweetbreads may be removed with greater ease. A new idea is to put the flavoring of cake, puddiugs, sauces, eta, with the butter. The butter holds the flavor better than any other medium. The best cure for the disgusting cockroach is to purchasa a poisou phosphorus paste aud spread it on bread. This kills them in a few min utes. They go away to die. Five o'clock functions are never served in the living room or dining room, but in the drawing room—or on the hospitable verauda, where the tea must be made by the hostess.

Any high class shoemaker includes this rdliuing in the work of his repairing depart ment. Trout and Waterinake* I write for a little information. I claim to be pretty well posted in re gard to the waters ot this State, but am frank to admit that I draw the line on snakes, and I therefore want the editor of your "snake coiamn" to give me a little information. I have a large pond on a farm in my charge, in which are a good many large trout and, I am sorry to say, some snakes. A year ago last sum mer a person in the neighborhood noticed a commotion in the water and stopped to see what caused it. Pres ently he saw that a large watersnake had captured a large trout, too large to take out of the water on the bank in the ordinary way, head first, and presently the snake backed out on the bank, tail first, dragging the trout after him in his mouth. This person killed the snake, which was a very large one, took the trout out of its mouth and brought it up to our farmhouse, where it was weighed and found to be lj pounds on weight. I asked the farmer whether he ate the trout, and he said no; that he did not eat trout when they had been caught by a snake. I have not seen a statement to the effect that snakes are in the habit of backing out of the water in this way when they have seized a large fish, and if this is something new then I will authenticate this story more fully, as I do not wish to have any doubt raised as to my veracity in case I tell the story, although I know that it is substantially as I have told it.—Let ter in Forest and Stream. No Rooms to lie Had. The day Queen Victoria entered Dublin a few weeks ago tbe number of visitors was'so great that it was impossible to get a room. A certain stranger on arriving at the Irish capital entered a cab and said to the driver: "Take me to a good hotel, jarvey." "Well, sir, which d'ye want?" "Any will do so long as I can get a room." "Then, axin' yer lave, sir, ye'd betther go across an' throw stones at a peeler." "Why?" "Yet get locked up thin, sir, an' 'tis the only way to get a room in Dublin this night, sir, heav'n be praised!"— San Francisco Argonaut. The World'* Crematories. There are now seventy crematories in Europe and America, of which twenty-seven are in Italy, twenty in the United States, sis in Germany and four in Great Britain. Paris had 4513 incinerations last year. The Kingdom of Siam, in Eastern Asia, has more than 200 crematories. Those of the Royal Falace in Bangkok are genuine art works, surrounded by pagodas. England's Two Season*. The St. Anne's, SohO, parish paper gives an amusing answer of a Sunday school girl at the parish school.
