To make a handsome ribbon rose is now one of the most popular of the smart girl's dress accessories. You take three yards of No. 60 satin ribbon in two shades of pink. Three loops two and a half inches to three and a half inches deep, and one end four inches, of light pink ribbon, with two loops or deeper pink ribbon added, form a bow, which is the background of the rose. The single end is tied about the bow and trimmed to a point In this row the rose is embedded. The center of the rose is made of the deeper pink ribbon. A yard and a fourth of this is doubled down the mid­ dle, and wrapped about a wire stem to form the rose center. Three petals of dark and three of light pink ribbon are added, each two and a half to three and a half inches deep. These are simply loops of ribbon which form the outer petals of the large rose. A spray of rose foliage can be Used to make the effect more realistic. A bow for the hair can be made of one yard of light pink ribbon, with five loops and one end. Four buds made of dark­ er pick ribbon are added. The stems (with calyx) are bought ready-made. . Calico Coming Again. &£'• is an eld material coming to the fore again, and this is nothing more nor less than old-fashioned cal­ ico. a calico gown is so out of date as to be hopeless to the majority of people, yet those who keep right up to the mark are looking at the new calico and investing in it. •The special cause of the return of calico to popularity is the shirt waist suit, for calico makes up so very neat­ ly into these suits. And another rea­ son is the improvement in the pat­ terns of the new calicoes which leave so very little to be desired. There come very pretty calico patterns in cream with a little figure and in light blue and light pink and in the darker colors, bfown, green and navy blue. These wash well, wear like iron, and are so very neat that one is tempted to invest so that one can have a pretty ^suit for morning wear, ?>;. : t m U. Sailor Blouse. The sailor blouse Is the accepted favorite fo^, small boys and the jaun­ ty style shown here is character­ ised by a double- breasted front un­ der which the edge of the yoke is sewed. The sleeve is the "navy" style with plaits at wrist and at shoulder. The collar may be pointed or square in front, as pro­ vision is made for both styles. The trousers are shaped by side, inside and center seams and may be closed with a fly or at the sides. Linen, pique, gal- atea, flannel, duck, cheviot and suit­ ings in ^general are suggested, using braid or hands or contrasting material for trimming and decorating the ahiel4 and sleeve with emblems. Fried Cauliflower. divide a cooked cauliflower Into small branches and dip them separate­ ly into some stiff bechamel sauce, whici. has been mixed with sufficient tomato catsup to make it pink, and put them aside until the sauce Is set. Then dip the pieces of cauliflower into beaten egg and cover them thickly with panurette (red bread crumbs), and after allowing about a quarter of an hour for the crumbs to harden fry the cauliflower In a wire basket. . Gooseberry Pudding. Stew a quart of green gooseberries and sweeten well; when cold add the juice and grated rind of a lemon, beat­ en yolks of five eggs and beaten whites of two; mix all together; beat three whites of eggs and add six ounces of powdered sugar and a few drops of lemon juice; butter a small baking dish, put fruit in and pour Ic­ ing evenly over the top; bake ten or fifteen minutes. Dainty Cloth Waist. Blouse of pearl-colored cloth made with lengthened shoulders and a group on each side of the front and back. It is trimmed w i t h s t i t c h e d straps of the ma­ terial, fastened at the ends with steel buttons. The fronts, or­ n a m e n t e d w i t h larger steel but­ tons, open over a little waist-coat of white cloth, with reversof the same, which is finished with stitching and fastened with a single row of steel buttons.

When the summer girl wishes to look the most captivating in the morn­ ing she will appear in either a fresh hand-embroidered linen shirt waist or In a crisp-looking shirt waist costume of taffeta. The stylish way of making a taffeta shirt waist dress is to trim it with medallions of Irish or Para guay lace, with French knots in some striking contrasting color, outlining each medallion. Two medallions are sufficient to use on the shirt waist, which will look smart if^iastened with pearl buttons, which are so much the fashion this season. Bizarre Trimming. Practical frocks in biscuit, yellow and ivory shades are mostly trimmed with black taffeta. But these bizarre contrasts are not effective unless car­ ried out with consummate skill. Gown of Blue Voile. The skirt is cut in panels, opening at the bottom over long points of white foulard dot­ ted with blue. The front panel is bor­ dered at the top with bands of blue embroidery. The blouse is also slashed open over the dotted foulard, and the f r o n t s a r e b o r ­ dered with tlfce e m b r o i d e r y .

The sleeves flare at the bottom where they are slashed open over undersleeves of the dotted foulard.--Le Guide des Couturleres. Effective Hat Trimming. Among popular hat trimmings is the odd sort of rosette. It is made by folding the ribbon half its width, shir­ ring it and sewing the close gathers spirally on a circular piece of buck­ ram. This rosette deserves its name, for, skillfully wrought, it closely re­ sembles a rose. Sometimes it meas­ ures four inches across and looks like a "very large cabbage- rose. 4. pair of these are sometimes seen at each side of the crown of a sailor and they also form additions to the plateau hats with their garlands of field flowers. Cherry Bounce. Cherry bounce is a species of popu­ lar cordial used in the South, and kept among the familiar rules of sick-room cookery. Take four pounds of sour cherries and the A«ame quantity of sweet ones. Put them in a wooden dish. Pound them hard enough to crush the cherries and break all the stones. Put the cherries into a stone jar, mixing in two and a half pounds of white sugar. Pour a gallon of the best whisky or brandy over them/And turn the whole Into a demijohn. Keep it corked tightly and shake it every day lor a month. At the end of six months or a year strain it and bottle it. Uje it for a cordial, serving it in miniature glasses. Negligee Jacket.

Boston's Famous Preacher Discourse! Learnedly of the Hub's Favorite. i)r. Edward Everett Hale comes to Washington once a year to deliver a sermon in the church in which he made his debut in the pulpit half a' century ago. He spent part of his s ime during his recent visit here wltb friends eminent in the scientific and literary world. "Dr. Hale," said ;one of them, "1 can give you a piece of news in which you, as a Bostouian should take much interest. It is that the world's de­ mand for beans has become greater than the supply." "I knew it would some day," the celebrated divine re­ plied, "and this fact must be due to the influence Boston exerts on the world. We are the pioneer bean eat­ ers. Perhaps you are not aware that the reason it has taken mankind so many centuries to learn the worth of beans as a food for human beings is that the nations have unconsciously inherited an. ancient prejudice against them. The Egyptians cultivated this legume extensively, but flnallly set them apart as an offering to their deities. Pythagoras warned his dis­ ciples against beans. Some historians declare that he imbibed his doctrines concerning beans from the Egyptians, among whom he had been educated, but Aristotle has another explanation. He calls attention to the fact that in their voting the Romans used black and white beans as ballots, as the Greeks used oyster shells) from which we get 'ostracize,' and that Pytha­ goras, in counseling his followers against this legume, was speaking symbolically, • merely meaning that they should forswear politics. It has taken centuries to overcome these an­ cient preachments against beans, and Boston, In setting the example which has restored this wholesome food to its proper place in man's diet, has earned additional honors."--Washing­ ton Correspondence New York Trib­ une. ONE HUNDRED YEAR8 OLD. Titled British Woman Has Reached Advanced Age. Viscountess Glentworth, a noted Englishwoman, celebrated her one- hundredth birthday recently. "My old friend Pery, in the shape of Lord Glentworth, is-going to be married to Maria Villebois--a fortuflate woman, I think, to find herself a countess after .all." So wrote Disraeli to his sister in 1836. The Pery in question had, by the death of his father, taken the courtesy title of Lord Glentworth, but he died a few weeks before his grandfather, the earl of Limerick. •The untimely death of her husband, after eight years of married life, pre­ vented Maria Villebois from becoming more than a courtesy viscountess--a title she retained after her second marriage. It is sixty-four years sinca Disraeli wrote, on the death of Lord Glentworth: "The lady survives, but does not find herself a countess after all." Lady Glentworth is not able to walk much and this is the chief sign of weakness to be detected in her at her advanced age. Even when over 90 years old she was daily abroad in her pony carriage paying attention to every deti&Pof life upon her farm. J A Poem From the Cloister.1- She wrote (dear chjld) from London To her sister at Saint Luke (The merry madcap, Alice. To the novice at Saint Luke): "I have Just come from the palace « With a duchess and a~ duke. •'In your poor secluded cloister, O my gentle Geraldlne! W With its round of dreary penhnce. And its ever dull routine-- What think you of the honor Of an audience with the Queen? "A countess went before me, And a marchioness behind, And all the royal chamber With noblemen was lined; And the prince beside his mother Looked upon me fair and kind. "For I wore my snowy velvet, And my set of precious pearls. And the crown of whitest roses Resting lightly on my curls-- Now, was I not, sweet sister, The happiest of girls?" And Geraldlne made answer From her convent by the sea; "God keep thee ever guileless In thy gayety and glee, But bear with me, beloved, While I tell my Joys to thee. t "To-day, my little Alice. I, too, at court have been; • Have entered at a palace And held converse with a Queen, A fairer and a dearer Than any earthly queen! "With wreath of whitest roses They crowned thy kneeling nun. And when the Queen embraced me (My darling little one!) Before the court of angels She espoused me to her Son!

Donnelly, in New York Press. Came Down ?Crab Fashion. P. Norton Goddard, the conqueror of New York's policy evil, told at tho recent dinner given in his honor at the Savoy hotel an odd story of a maid servant. "This maid," he said, "had Just come over from the old country, and she was very green. Everything she did proclaimed her greenness. One of her habits was always to come down stairs backward. "I assure you, It was a funny sight to see her descending a staircase slowly in that way. Her hand grasped the balustrade for safety, and every little while she looked round to see how much farther she had to go. "•Why do you come down stairs backward, Kathleen?" someone asked her. " 'Sure, sir,' she answered, "that's the way we always came down stairs in the ship comin' over.* Isn't It the fashion in America?'"--Boston Post As He Was 8aying.
