WOMAN’'S PAGE. Pastel-Colored BY MARY MARSHALL. Lace seems like a delicate, fragile fabric, and yet thinking over the after- noon and evening dresses that you have | had In past seasons, were there any that did longer service than the lace dresses? Lace sheds the dust, and MANY NEW PASTEL-COLORED LACE DRESSES ARE MADE WITH SHORT SLEEVES FINISHED WITH FLOWING RUFFLES. seems to shed spots as well, and even when it begins to wear and shows a break in the threads here and there, a few darning stitches with matching thread make the lace look as good as new. Of all fabrics lace travels bes! and for this reason is ideal for t week end dinner or evening dress. And lace is feminine. In the good old days before the French Revolution, ‘when men dressed as gayly as women, | they wore lace in profusion—at their | hem and attached to the shortened | house, any manure piles in gardens or necks and on their wrists, and for very gala occasions dangling from the sides of their knee breeches. But, modernly | speaking, lace is the least masculine of | fabrics. and its very femininity wecom= | mends it this season. So if you are planning & new eve- ning dress and want a lot of advice, let me advise you to consider pastel-col- | of hamburg steak half a cupful of Lace Is Smart ored lace, which is spoken of as dis- tinctly smart by those who know.

Pour over one and one-half pounds water and cook slowly for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, fry in beef dripping three small sliced onions until they are nicely browned, then add a green sweet pepper cut into small pieces after the seeds have been removed, a large stalk of cel- ery sliced, and a small can of tomatoes. Simmer slowly for 20 minutes, then combine with the meat and cook for about 10 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt or chop suey sauce and serve with boiled rice. Canned mush- rooms or bean sprouts may also be added if desired. 7iE EVENI Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. May 13, 1861—The 13th Regiment, New York Infantry, will be quartered in Franklin Square. The men have just received new chasseur uniforms, in which they appeared this morning in company parade, making & splendid im- pression on a large crowd of spectators. This new uniform consists of a bright blue fatigue cap trimmed with white cord, the short chasseur coat made of dark blue material and set off at the seams with cord and pants of the wide Zouave type of light grayish blue, ma to buckle around the ankle under th high Zouave leggings. . Several of the companies of this regiment, dressed up in their new uni- forms, marched to the suburbs this morning and spent a couple of hours in target practice, exhibiting considerable skill. The regiment has named its new quarters Camp Anderson. The four companies of Cavalry that have just arrived at the Seventh street park are companies B, E, G and I of the 2d United States Cavalry. All the men are mounted on fine horses. There are 8¢ men in each cnrnpln{. They are commanded by Capts. Stol- man, Field and Brackett and Lieut. Kimball. They are regarded as a very efMcient corps, evidence of this having been given in their recent march through Texas. ‘The clerks of the Post Office Depart- ment have organized themselves into a military company which will be com- manded In case of an emergency by Capt. Scott of Pennsylvania, who was noted for gallantry in the Mexican War. For drill instruction this company has retained Sergt. Thomas A. Buchley of the Marine Corps, who is regarded as one of the best non-commissioned offi- cers in this line of duty in the United States. Volunteer regiments from the various Northern States, as well as contingents of the Regular Army, are still pouring into Washington. They are being quar- tered either in the city proper or in the vicinity. Capt. Dodd's Boston Rifle Company, 72 men, is quartered at 209 G street north. These men have the Whitney rifles, saber and bayonet. Their uni- form is light blue pants, red shirts, dark gray overcoats and fatigue caps. It was the promptness of this company during the fire a few nights ago that saved the dwelling of John Watt, the President's gardener, from destruction. The men broke with axes into a small building and hauled out the hose and reel.

This method will produce a roast brown and crisp on the outside and uniformly done inside, the degree of doneness depending, of course, on the cooking period.
