Cold Weather Pasta—Bablea Bagged at liedtme—gonsehold Hints and Meats for Bloopers. The party and fair season is now at hand, and as young people will be devising nevel enter- tainments for such occa- sions, the following is suggested for their benefit : A° snow cotil- lion may be made a very charming feature of a fairetor or it may be a leading idea of a home party. The hostess anti all her daughters or *in- ters, indeed all the ladies of tl;ei family, should wear white gownsand white orna- ment?, whether they be jewelry or flowers There are numberless pretty ,fabrics in white, both thick and thin ; gauzes dotted with silver for the younger folk and white crepons ler the mothers. In the way of ornaments one can find plenty of white flowers and feathers, silver jewelry, white and sever fans. Roman pearls for the neck and white feather trimming for a, also swansdown and fur wherewith to: • ulate frost and snow. e rooms should be decorated so as to keep up the snow idea, with evergreen branches powdered with flour and hung w.th shreds of cotton batting powdered with diamond drat. At the toy stores there are sold all suets of devices in imitation of snow and frost, and, I.believe, imitations of icicles, at low prices, that would dress a house very nicely. Then there are the pretty glittering masses of frosted Lineel thread which can be flu from branch to branch with such gay effect, to carry out the idea of winter. Those dancers only,shculd be selected for the cotillion who are dressed in pure white, with suitable ornaments of crystal and saver and pearl -indeed, their gowns ahould be trimmed with white for or feathers or down. The favors /should all. carry out the idea of white, and ingenious younggirla will know how to do it, • The supper should carry out the snow idea, also, in its cakes and other confec- tions, creams, bonbons, etc., for every count try housewife has her receipeaforanow cakes and snow puddings, snow creams, blanc- manges, etc. The table decorations should, as far as possible, be in white and silver. Tats for Winter Feed. The fats in common use as food are the fat of milk, as butter or cream ; the fats of fruits, of which olive oil is an example ; that of grains, as the fats of wheat, oatmeal , and Indian corn, and the fats of meats, as tallow, suet, lard and dripping. Olive oil is one of the most eaaily digested and palatable of fats- A genuine oil of the first quality is., in this country, unfortu- nately expensive, much of that sold ander the name being adulterated with cotton- . seed oil,poppy oil and essence of lard.. 7hedechne in the sardine trade during the hat few years, is accounted for by the fact that -cotton -seed oil has so largely re- placed olive oil in the packing of these fish: People who once regarded them as a great delicacy no loftger find them palatable. Cotton -seed oil has no especially bad flavor, but it is unpletapnt and indigestible when used raw, as in sardines and salad$.. The after-taste, which it leaven reminds one too forcibly of castor oil. Olive oil of the best quality is almoat ab- 'whitely without flavor. It is prepared in several grades ; the first pressing from the fruit is the best, the second is fair, the third inferior, and there is sometimes a hearth known es " refuse " oil- For deep fat frying, nrdthing is,ao good as olive oil, but its coetlinees will exclude it in this country from common use. *ea Biscuits. It is a great mistake to make a large tea biscuit. Properly speaking, a • tea biscuit should not be more than two aches in • diameter and proportionately thick when , biked_ This gives a delicate, moist, flaky bee -tete which will he choked through be- fore the outside crust has become hard or over brown. Many of the muffin tine are too Iarge to cn' k thoroughly through before Lhe crust hardens In ench a case it is a good plan to dampen the upper, crust while the muffins are hot by I eying a wet° cloth over them and covering it with a dry cloth. Cookies, on the other hind, may well be of. liberal diameter, as they are rolled out so thin that their size !lees not prevent their Booking through. Si,*tle Women io London. The single young woman in London' who has to live economi••alty; and who is., by the way, much better rff than a young man in the 'wale circum -Lances, will soon have nothing to complain of in the matter of residence, if London builders continue to be as attentive and generous as they are at the present moment.' Single rooms at the moderate ren'. of $10 a month are obtain- able in many of tete new apartment bonzes in ndon, and .their tenants, as well as t e who hove more expensive seta, are entitled to the use of the general dining - room -in one instance a splendid' apart- ment, with salmon colored walls and granite arches. sables in Raga.

Dent's for Decorators. Don't let the fashion of the hour override yorr common tense, not to epeak of your taste and judgment, in arranging your apartments Don't put extra heavy drapery in email rooms. Don't overload your rooms with furniture and brie a-brac. Don't place an easel, with a large picture thereon, in the middle, of the parlor ticor. Don't have a big Chinese porcelain jar in a room only four times the width of the jar. Don't use a table lamp of herculean pro- portions on a small table, or in a small room. Give the eye epace as well as the lungs. Space in the centre of the room is as precious as the moat costly piece of fur- niture, for it enriches all the furnishings. With the Housewife. A judicious cookalways puts a butter paper on the bottom of the tins in which she bakes layer cake. She raja that in this way she avoids anxiety. • A nice dish can be made of celery in this way : Stew till tender, pour over it a half pint of cream ; after you have put the celery into a baking dish cover it with bread crumbs and little bite of butter ; bake about 20 minutes. Always pack the freezer before putting in the mixture to be frozen. Chicken should be washed with hot water, one dish of hot water will cleanse more than a continued soaking in cold. An .extravagant cook recommends fried bananas for a luncheon dish. She first poursoverthem the juice of orangea or pine- apples. A good dish for a convalescent is made by chopping some oysters fine, and stewing them in a little water, then add cream, pep- per and salt and pour over toast. Sunday School Methods. Mrs. Kate Gannett Wells, at a meeting of tee Unitarian Sunday School Union ,in Boston, the other evening, " gave a raking criticism" of the method of teaching row employed in Sunday „schools, according to our esteemed contemporary, the Boston Herald. She said she was heartily tired of the sentiment and religion as taught there. The ethical side is what ought to be culti- vated. The mere study of the biblical text and golden rules is nothing. It'. -drives children away rather than attracls them. It is hard enough Lo get children to come to Sunday school now, as it. is. It is a ministerial delusion that they like to come. Put in good teachere-intellectual teachers -that can handle the subject as it deserves, and bring the children to a love of God that shall be hating. Immigrant Children.

The Calors of the ii=i -finita The scene on the Castle Esplanade at Edinburgh when the Princess Louise presented the Argyll and' Sutherland High- landers with new colors was singularly striking�and picttiresgne, The occasion was a memorable one. The colors that were about to be retired commemorated the peening away of the old order of things in the regiment's history; and the closing scene was carried out with fitting . impressiveness and solemnity. As the Highlanders swung through the old gateway from the Castle, and were formed into line (*the Esplanade, every one in the vast crowd of spectators must have felt with Barns, that " a tide of Scottiah prejudice had been poured along his veins." Many of the historical and romantic associations.. ; that gather round Edinburgh ' are connected with the Highland . clans : and the Eeplanade, with the old Lawnmarket stretching away from it, and the Castle rock towering above, seemed a natural background for a scene expressive of all that is most inspiring in the country's mili- tary history. The trooping of colors is at all tinea an imposing ceremony, but on this cecasion there -was a peculiar impresaf ness about it. Round the new colors dations cannot gather with the same gl of loyal devotion which attends those of and tattered and weather stained flags tha have been borne through the thickest of th fight.

London is to Nave a tower that will eclipse the famous Eiffel structure. The new tower will be built by Sir, Edward Watkin in a pleasure park of 1`_'0 acres between Willesden and Harrow. The foundations, which consist of immense blocks of con- crete; have already been completed, their cost being between: ,004„.d .$30i 0 4t They go down nearly twenty feet below the groned and should be capable of bearing any weight placed upon them. Sone ideaof the magnitude of the whole undertaking may be gained from the state- ment that the Eiffel tower. which is to be surpassed by the Engliah structure, was made of 7,500 teas of steel and iron, con- sisting of 12,000 specially deigned pieces, faateeed together with 2500,000 rivets. The Engiixh tower is to be 130 feet higher tear the Dench wonder. The plan of the London tower provides for a large landing stage that will aim_ modate 20,000 people, and in addition will contain a dancing floor, stor2Le ani 1 refresh- ment stands. Half way uthere will be another landing stage. On the top of the tower there will be an observatory and rooms for scientific experiments The pleasure grounds around the tower will be fitted rip .for the most extensive place of amusement in the world. Ad- vantage is taken of a river marlin(' through :the estate to make an ornamental lake, covering an area of Ste acres. This is near the main entrance. In the summer it will be used for boating, and in the winter for curling and retiring. A sufficient quantity of water is forced up hill ' from the hke by a powerful ram to form a reservoir, which supplies a very large ornamental fountain. This fountain has been completed. , Close by is a cricket ground of seven acres. The whole area has been leveled, well turfed and efficiently. drained. On higher grounds workmen have laid out winter ga-dens, in thelarge pavilion of which entertainments are to be given:., The whole 120 acres will be opened to the public early nett spring, although the tower will not be completed until ten or twelve menthe dater. seenell,dT OF TOWERS.

If yon ray she is a good girl, and honest and the reverse is true, and she goes some - n here else and shows herself to be a • thief you are liable to he fined for giving her a false recommmmendatjon.
