Y*'oa Coffee. ' It Is Bald by the best authorities that while there may be 50 patented coffee pots with more or less intricate interi ors no better coffee can be made in any of them than in the connnon*2s cent tin pot. But there Is one Important item to remember: The coffeepot of any style must be bright and clean inside. Old grounds standing in it or neglect to rinse it clean and wipe it out will grad ually cause muddy coffee In spite of good rnuterinl or the best method of making. Coffee Is either boiled or filtered. For 1 boiling It should be ground rather | coarse, but for filtering it should be powdered. Breakfast coffee Is usually boiled. To one cup of ground coffee add one egg beaten with one-quarter cup of cold water. Stir well together and then pour over five cups of boiling water. Stir and set where It will come ; to a boll. Let it boll for three minutes, then draw to the cooler part of the range. Pour in one-quarter cup of cold water and let it stand ten minutes to settle. It may then be strained into a silver pot which has been heated by tilling It with boiling water. For after dinner or bluck coffee make a l>olled coffee of double strength or use one cup of pulverized coffee and pour three cups of boiling water over It, one half cup nt a time. Never allow filtered coffee to boil. Plascaa Stocking*. You may ask for piazza stockings and receive a gay species that you will at once understand cau be worn under a handsome summer gown upon a sum mer piazza. In this category can be mentioned the ribbon trimmed stock ings. These are of the French origin ami, while they are not generally on sale, can be easily made. The founda tion for the ribbon trimmed stocking Is a plain black stocking, silk or lisle. Bands of ribbon half an Inch wide and three Inches long, each end finished with a little loop, are fastened upon the stockings In such away that they form a gradually widening figure. At the ankle the ribbon bands are side by side and almost touch, but at the calf, where they terminate with a small buckle, they are two or three Inches apart. This gives a pretty shape to the aijkle and makes a flat leg appear round. Tie most refined of these ribbon trimmed stockings are of fine black lisle trim med with black satin ribbon. The bands are fastened to the stockings with very stuall safety pins or with tiny Jeweled pins. Uniform For Women. A Belgian artist, M. Van de Veldo, has been lecturing In Vienna on the subject of women's dress. The lecturer, as reported, reminds one of nothing so much as the tilting of Don Quixote at a windmill. M. Van de Velde seeming ly would have been much better em ployed with the palette and canvas ex cept perhaps In so far as he gave harm less pleasure to lilr audience. The whole drift of the lecturer's remarks was In fuvorof uniformity. This comes surely with an odd sort of grace from the lips of one who Is professedly a stu dent of nature. One can well Imagine the Ironical smiles on the faces of M. Van de Velde's hearers when he told them that at n public dinner or festival the men with their symmetrical cloth ing "showed more beauty" than did the \ftdles. The Belgian dress reformer will be satisfied with nothing short of a uniform toilet for women.—Philadel phia Ledger. Vlansrlnfc Pictures. An obi rule for'hanging pictures \£ns that water colors, black and whites and oils should not be hung In tin l same room, but this rule Is rarely regarded now. It Is, however, Inartistic to see them arranged in the same group, and a little care will easily avoid It. It has come to be pretty well understood that pictures should not be hung on a level, though this rule does not mean that there should be no symmetry or plan in their grouping. Too heavy pictures should not top very light one. A natu ral sense of proportion must be regard ed. With this general idea In mine? square, oblong and oval pictures may be satisfactorily arranged, always pre mising that the pictures are worth hanging In any event. Some of the modern bargain counter art depart ments have to answer for serious sins of taste. Aid For Ambition* Girls.

Information will be furnished inquir ers regarding college preparatory schools for girls, situated In Philadel phia and suburbs, and concerning the principal colleges and universities of the United States admitting women. The committee especially desires to give helpful and personal suggestions to those trying to prepare themselves for college. Difference In the "Dnnnhlfm." Those who have long been puzzled as to the difference between a Daughter of the American Revolution and a Daughter of the Revolution without the American are now able to see that It all depends on who organized the so ciety. The talk about the "black ball of excluslveness" and "contact with in feriors" sounds a little odd coming from the descendants of our sturdy pa triot ancestors to whatever society the ladies may belong.—Chicago News.
