PEACH CHARLOTTE AND PEACH PIE Rose Geranium Leaf Gives Cake a Delicate Flavor. FOR CHILDREN’S LUNCHES Written for The Evening Star. “Won’t you tell-me just how you make * is the query that elways follows the rving of pezch charioite. ‘The ingredients of which this dainty des- sert is composed are one quart of cream, one-half package of gelatine, on¢-half peund of sugar, one teaspoonful vanilla, cne-half tcaspconful orange, one pint peach- es, sliced fine, and half a pound of lady fingers or sponge cake, cut in strips. Whip ‘the cream to a stiff froth, keeping the pan containing the cream in a larger pan of ice. When very stiff, sift into it the pow- dered sugar, and stir in the gelatine dis- solved in a little hot water. Add the flavoring. Now is the critical time. Take a large spoon and stir continuously, that the gelatine may not settle to the bottom, but be evenly distributed. If it begins to harden on the bottom, lift the pan from the ice a few moments, or you may even be obliged to set it in hot water a moment, then stir in the peaches. Continue stirring until very stiff and light. Cut the lady fingers in halves, or use the sponge cake strips. Put the cream on small plates, with the pieces of cake pressed on either side of the cream. Pineapple, cherries, Bart- lett pears, bananas or oranges are also delicious in a charlotte. While peaches are now in perfection they should @ppear freely on the family bill of tere. A delicicus peach pie evolved by a a real old “‘Virginny” cook is made as fol- lows: Mix together three cups pastry flour, ene cup and a half of sugar, two-thirds of a cup of butter, one teaspoonful soda, two of cream tartar and three well-beaten eggs. Add t milk enough to roll out. Line four tins with this crust and bake a golden brown. When dene, line with halves of ripe, juicy peaches, sprinkle with sugar, and cover with whipped crcam. ‘This may be varied by combining bananas with the peaches, cr bananas may be used alone. In hot weather fruits are much more tempting when chilled. This may readily be done by putting them in a pail or pan closely covered and setting this in another with a thin layer of ice and salt for an reur. Three pints cr two quarts of fine icé will cool exough fruit for ten or twelve people, using one part of salt to two parts of ice. Cover with a paper and set in the cellar. Baby’s bath is a function of such im- portance that a few points regarding it wil! be appreciated by every young mother. In bathing an infant the water should be at a temperature of 95 deg.; at six months, 00 deg. A bath thermometer should be used to determine the exact temperature. For scap, the old-fashioned castile (white) is as good as can be found. In warm Weather the bath may be daily; in cold Weather, twice a week. Baby runs less chance of taking cold if you give it a whole bath rather than a part of one. Wet the head first, then with soft cloth and soap go ever the body, paying special attention to creases und folds. With a soft towel pat the armpits, groins and foids behind the ear until quite dry. Use some simple powder if preferred. For the ears) and nose use a blunt cone formed by twisting a ccrner of a handkerchief or bit of soft linen. Finally give baby a good rubbing from head to foot with the hand. The bath should not last longer than five min- utes. Nor must baby’s mouth he forgotten, on Cover the little finger with a clean cloth, wet in cold wafer and wash the roof of the mouth,:insidé the cheeks and inside and outside the. gums or teeth. In selecting a nurse for the baby the essential qualifications are that she should Le healthy, intelligent, cleanly, températe, cheerful and possesed of a liking for chil- dren. “As to age,” says a prominent physician, “she should neither be too old her too young. The too old are set ard the too young are not apt to be steady and reliable, but,” he naively concludes, “it must be remembered that one can’t get all the virtues though he aim ever so well.” While rose geranium is largely used in Europe and the orient for flavoring cakes, 1 confectioi its value is not yet y recognized here. In one home, where an “old Virginny” cook and where the cakes are mar- acy ad toothsomen the geranium plays an important part. When the cake batter is mixed ready for the tins “Aunt Saliy” p%®ks two or three of her fragrant leaves and spreads on the bottom of the cake tin. In this way just a delicate suspicion of flavoring permeates the cake, and the fortunate par- taker says, “How delicious! What is it!” Now is the ‘ason of our discontent,” if back yards and alleys have been left uneared for, and the malodorous rag weed and his fellows of the baser sort left to flaunt their shame in the nostrils of every passer-by. Not only is the rank effluvium from these noxious weeds most offensive, especially at nightfall or after a shower, but physicians declare their odor to be a menace to health itself. With this under- standing it behooves every housewife to see to it that her back yard and alleys are kept free from the high green stalks whose poisonous exhalations threaten the well- being of her little flock. No part of the house requires a more careful oversight than the drains, which should be disinfected often and thorough- ly. The following is a good preparation to be kept on hand in a tight wooden re. ceptacle: ‘One and one-half pounds cop- Peras dissolved in one gallon boiling water. If heated before using its efficiency will be increased. If desired superlatively strong, as in cases of contagious illness, add 10 per cent carbolic acid. Now is the time to prepare leaves and berfles for winter table decorations, when it is so difficult to find appropriate gar- nishings. Holly branches, barberry vines. and berries, grape, maple and pear leaves, and the small wood fern are all suitable for the purpose. Dip in a thin solution of glue water, allowing one tablespoonful of hiquid glue to a pint of water; dry taor- oughly and pack in boxes. To late sojourners at the mountains the suggestion comes that the resinous piae cones will “make a delightfully cheery blaze in the open fireplace. A handful of these thrown into the grate in the No- vember days that are soon to be “cold and dark and dreary” will bring back by their arcmatic sparkle the breath and sweet. ness of the aytumnal forest. Among the “pretty little tiny kickshaws” that give zest and an air of elegance to dinner or luncheon, are the glaced mint leaves. These may be procured by the Box at any of the large confectioners or they may be made at home.

The semi-train skirts for day wear that are struggling to find favor with us were represented by a costume of Louis XVI brocade in siiver gray and pink worn by the mother of the bride.

FOR UP-TO-DATE WOMEN Fashions in Furs That Will Be Popular the Coming Winter. ‘apes, Collarettes, Boas and Mufis in Seal, Persian Lamb and Other Less Expensive Skins. Written Exclusively for The Evening Star. In furs we must ke somewhat a law un- to ourselves. For the great metropolis which sets fashion’s pace disclaims our rigorous winter. The great furriers are at work while summer matron and maid are idling, and as soon as the festive moth has entered upon his winter sleep the beautiful and costly products of their labors may be seen. Only seal and Persian lamb are permis- sible for coats, although krimmer is some- times seen. The sleeves will be very, very small, with only fullness enough at the top to admit of the general trimming at the top of the dress sleeve. The paltry trim- ming by which’ we are endeavoring to conceal from ourselves the painful fact that our bubble has been pricked and that ene and all, stout and thin, tall and short, our arms must soon be—as our ankles have been since golf and bicycles became the rage—clothed only and not concealed. A smaller amount of fur in our sleeves, however, will not mean a less_costly gar- trent, for the amount ‘taken from the sleeve will not be as large as the amount cf material added to the skirt of the coats, although fur coats will scarcely reach quite the length which is seen in advance models of cloth coats for midwinter wear. Very short coats are not taboved, how- ever, for fur follows as closely as possible the fashion of the nour, and this winter short coats will certainly be worn. In capes, as in coats, sealskin and Per- sian lamb alone are favored for the longer capes, which will be quite tairty inches long this winter, but in the shorier capes of only sixteen inches length greater l:ti- tude will be allowed. AN! capes will scmewhat narrower. This, of course, is due to the passing of the sleeve to an in- significant part ef the costume in point of size. Collarettes Will Be Popular. Collarettes will be even more popular than ever, and there fs little variation in the fashion and style of their making from last year’s models, although the continued demand for them has taxed the ingenuity of the makers into using more com tions, so that one my choose. betwe a coliarette of one fur alone or of two fu beautifully combined, and the choice is herd to make. In point of favor, outside of the standards, seal and Persian lamb, which vary little in popularity from season to season, one has a bewildering array to choose from. 2 Chinchilla, Russian head the list in price well as favor. Mink, Hudson Bay sable, stone marten and other Kindred skins all make collarettes of beauty and service. Beautiful ccilarettes are made of Persian lamb comb:ned with some less sember hue. ‘The black lamb naturally forms the part of the collar rearest the face. The most bewitching one shown so far was of Per- sian lamb and chinchilla. The high coliar of Persian Jamb ended.in points, and arognd the points the chinchilla was set, rather fuller than the lamb, so that it ruffled slightly, and five or six inches long, so that the collarette came well down over the shoulders. A description gives no idea of the loveliness of this bit of fur, which seem- ed more designed for an existence under glass in the cabinet of a lover of the beau- tful than for duty at an afternoon tea or any common function of life. Other com- binations which promise to be popular among those who can afford these costly yet becoming neck gears are seen in Per- sian lamb, aud sable, or grebe, or sable and grebe together. Grebe is popular just now and well deserves it, yet a combination of feather and fur seems somewhat incon- gruous. sable and ermine Boas and Muffs. Next in favor to the collatettes come boas. They will be quite long an@ most of them will be made of the fur of some erstwhile happy member of the fox family. The blue fox leads in expense as well is fashion, but the dyed blue fox is -very beautiful and within the reach of a wider range of purses. The huge muff one secs in the paintings by Romney and Sir Joshua Reynolds prem- +sea to retire and give place to something more in keeping with the rest of our tiny cstumes, They will naturally be cf the same material as the coat, cape, collarette or boa. Mixed furs, fortunately, are sel- dom attempted, and the combinations above described in collarettes have to be made with the utmost repard for harmony. Opera capes of silk or velvet will still continue to be lined or trimmed with fur, white fox or ermine being preferred. The beautiful cape made for Mrs. McKinley's use at the inauguration ball was trimmed with white fox. Long coats for carriage wear, trimmed and lined with fur, have always been liked. The revival of long coats this fall has put new and handsome models of fur-trimmed coats upon the market. Furs are becoming to every woman. Their tendency is to brighten the eye and soften the complexion, and their value as an aid and adjunct to a well-dressed wo- ™man cannot :be overlooked. But since we. cannot, like a Gertain royal family, wear our furs from generation te generation, re- gardless of Dame Fashion's decrees, let us, unless we hold the purse of Fortunatus, choose them with an eye to the future as | lots will | ver will have a mount whe WOMEN AFTER. GOLD Expedition Forming for Exploration of the Klondike Fields. WILL LEAVE NEW YORK NEXT MARCH Claims Will Be Taken and Work of Mining Prosecuted. OUTLINE OF THE PLAN —— + Not to be considered as wanting in ap- preciation of every effort made for the ben- efit of their sex generally, a number of Washington ladies have consented to the | use of their names, es among many oth- | ers, representing every section of the Uni- | ted States, who are interested in a “Wo- man’s expedition to the Klondike gold | fields,” which has been o:ganized to explore that now famous region. itis stated that the project is receiving much encouragement, and unless some- thing unforeseen occurs to prevent, the ex- pedition, under auspices as above stated, will start ftom New York March 1 next. The object of the syndicate, as stated to a Star reporter by one of the ladies inter- ested, is “to prospect and locate mining claims in Alaska and Northwestern Terri- tery and on the Klondike and other tribu- taries of the Yukon river; to establish a new mining camp and hospital and equip a complete commissariat train.” ‘The ccst to each person traveling with the expedition, as stated by the same lady, wiil be $1,900, payable $0 February 1, 1898, Sitka by the and the balance upou Jeavin h overland route, or the whole may be paid on leaving New York. Subscribing mem- bers are admitted for $500, entitling them to the same advantages as to the traveling members. The syndicate will furnish free to each traveling member transportation to the Klondike, total equipment, provisions and tents, for a tour of six months from the time of leaving New York. This expedi- tion is based upou a number’not less than twenty, but any multiple may be included, with the consequent multiplication of the parts of the expedition. Location of Claims. Claims will be locaved as rapidly as pos- sible, and when twenty have been secured be drawn for the distribution thereof among the members of the expedi- tion, each member receivirg a cla'm. ‘T'wen- ty-iive per cent of the proceeds arising from the sale of the claims, or from proiils de- rived from working them, are to be paid to the founders of the expedition. W. Morgan Robbins, consulting engineer te the “New York Klondike” and “Ala Klon” expeditions, will act in an advisory capacity to this expedition to and from the gold fields. In addition, surgeon, assayer and a photographic artist will ac- company the expedition. On the location and division of the twen- ty claims referred to, members will be at Eberty to return with the expedition or remain on the Klondike, at their option. The return journey wiil be underiaken by the expedition for $500 each person. Only a limited nurler of physically sound and healtny women, willing to abide by the ex- pedition regulations, will be accepted. A Puliman sleeping car will be engaged from New York to Seattle, and will be oc- cupied exclusively by the members of the syndicate. In the mt of forty persons joinii two cars will be obtained; sixty persons, three cars. Three meals will be furnished each day on the car, tips and other incidentals wil by the expedition. Distance, nd all fees, time, seven days, By stcam-r, a distance of 1,000 miles, will occupy four 4: ys. The best. accommedations that the steamer ar- fords will be secured, including meals. Overiand ‘Trip. The overland route is 700 miles. A short stay will be made at Sitka, where the vans will be taken to pieces and carried on horseback over the pars, and the t6ols and provisions will be treated in like manner. On reaching the other side of the pass, the vans will be refitted and the journey con- tinued as when leaving Sitka. Upon reaching the lakes, rafis will be built from timber on the banks to carry members, horses and vans twenty persons five vans will be each with four horses, so that required for quick, but difficult climbing. Three of the vans will be fitted up with portable sleepers to accomodate seven persons h, the other two vans d exclusively for prov ers’ bunk in front—thu accommodations will be sible, the hardShips of overland travel will be reduced to a minimum. In addition to the siceping accommoda- tions of the vans, tents and army cots will be provided for the expedition for th wishing to sleep alone. A general s' ly of rugs, blankets and tarpaulins will be taken, but members are expected to find their own outfit, not exceeding 200 pounds. A thoroughly experienced man cook will be engaged to prepare and serve three good meals daily to members of the ex- pedition. Knives, forks, spoons, aluminum mugs and plates will be furnished, and everything supplied to render the journey agreeable and pleasant, so that upon ar- riving at the gold fields the expedition will be in excellent physical condition to prose- cute its work of -prospecting and location of claims. Medical Attendant. A further feature of great value to this expedition will be the services of a properly qualified medical man, who will readily at- tend to the wants of the members in the event of sickness or accident. He will have charge of a complete medicalychest and a surgical outfit. An assayer will also accompany the party with 4 crucible and assay apparaius, so that the expedition may obtain its own tests as discoveries are made. In addition to these gentlemen, ex- perts in scenic descriptive writing and il- lustraticn will describe with pen, pe and camera the whole trip froom New York to Kiondike, and the stay there, and Mr. Robbins will write on the: geographical aspects of the Kiondike, with practical mining illustrations, the Whole to be pub- lished in book form on the return of the expedition. The best guide in Sitka will be retained to pilot the expedition on the overland route. He will lead the party on the out- ward and homeward trips, and his knowl- edge of the best routes will be of sreat help to the expedition, and will consid- erably facilitate the caravan transporta- tion. A complete equipment ef miners’ tools, ropes, hoisting: gear, wheelbarrows, buckets and carpenters’ tools for raft- making, and a log cabin building, will be provided for the use of the members. It is expected cf the members of the ex- edition that they will inite in promoting the general wellare and comfort of the company, and cheerfully join in the per- formance of such work as may be allottcd them en route and in camp. The Necessary Supplies. The articles necessary for the expedi- tion, and which will be furnished by those in charge to the membérs, copprise the following: Thirty small—barrels of flour, 50 bags of oatmeal, 20 tins of baking pow- der, 1,500 sides of bacon, 10@ hams, iw sacks of beans, 10 tubs of butter, best creamely; 5 sacks sugar, 500 cans of con- densed milk, 8 boxes of Coffee, in bean; 300 bags of salt, 5 barrels cornmeal, sup- plies of pepper, mustard and sauces, 30 cans of mixed goods, 1Q tins of crackers, 3 whole cheese, barrel of 1,000 eggs, 2 chests of tea, best; 4 boxes of candles, 100 boxes of matches, making a total of 9,435 pounds in two vans.
