i THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER MOSTDAY MORISTHsTG, ARIL 16, 1900 STRAWBRIDGE CLOTHIER- 1 STRAWBRIDGE CLOTHIER Silks and Satins for Spring and Summer We to-day begin a great Special Sale of plain and fancy Silks and Satins in the soft, clinging weaves that will be universally worn this season. The offerings include every popular weight and texture; colorings are superb, in the most fashionable shades and combinations; the variety of patterns is almost bewildering, and many of the best designs are shown exclusively here. To provide material for this notable event, we have taken our choice from the best productions of both Europe and America, rejecting nothing that seemed likely to suit the refined taste of Philadelphia women. There's not an old or undesirable pattern in the entire stock which we believe to be the largest collection of strictly high-grade and fashionable Silks on this side of the Atlantic. OonsoEnption Never Cures Itself.

Drops of water may in time wear away the hardest rock. A tickling in the throat, ft slight cough, may be the danger sign of the consumptive of to-morrow. Nature is generally considerate and gives a signal and a warning that those who would avoid death by consumption had better heed. There are times when the overwrought system needs artificial assistance, when the wheels of the human machine are clogged and its smooth working impaired. A pure, invigorating stimulant like Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is invaluable as a tonic when you are run down and depressed, when the heart is weak and the blood sluggish.

It assists failing nature to resume its functions and imparts vim and energy to every part of the bodv. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has been before the public for 40 years and still carries a blessing to suffering humanity. Doctors know its value. They know that it has been proved absolutely pure in hundreds of tests by the country's best chemists. Over 7,000 leading physicians prescribe and recommend Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, exclusively, for coughs, colds, bronchitis, consumption, whooping-cough, grip, nervous depression and all wasting diseases from whatever cause.

It is used in over 2,000 prominent hospitals to the exclusion of all other alcoholic stimulants, on account of ita purity ana excellence. DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY is the greatest heart tonic known to science. It renovates and invigorates the entire system, makes the old young, keeps th young strong. There are other medicines.

elves me great pleasure to recommend Duffy's Jure Malt Whiskey, which I have used for consumptives in the last stages of the dread disease. Aside from its medicinal properties it is very mild. The patient can retain it when all other stimulants fail. I recommend it to all. MOTHER HIERONYMO.

Rootbeer The favorite I T'S lots of fun to watch on the quiet a woman who is trying to be polite and yet cannot quite go the whole figure because her mind is distraught. One of our greatest riling agents is the man and the sofa pillow.

He can, poor, unthinking animal that he is, do more in five minutes to worry a hostess than anybody or anything going. All he needs to make himself thoroughly hateful to the lady is to loll on or over her finest sofa cushion. What, pray, does he understand about sofa pillows in general -ajid this particular sofa pillow? Xot one thing, bless you. It's a bunch of down or feathers placed in the corner where he has dropped for his comfort, and he n.eans to enjoy every inch of it. If his hostess were to speak her mind she would probably shriek: "You great, big heavy-weight, stop this instant squirming around on that cover.

It cost ten dollars. It's a rare bit of embroidery. I up nights over it. I scrimped days saving for it. The women all rave over it.

It's a jewel of a cushion. I can never afford another like it." Perhaps if she could yell into the ears of the unconscious' creature her dismay she might impress him with a sense of his iniquity. I have my doubts. Poor, dear man. He smiles and smiles, while his hostess fidgets and looks glummer and glummer.

He feels in his bones he is a social failure. This makes him Dailu Household Column RICE DISHES FOR By Marion Harland. (Copyright, 1000, by Walter B. Guild.) AYS a wise mother: "If I had my way, every American child should eat rice once a day." But, first of all, it is necessary to teach the average mother the nutritious worth of this cereal secondly, she must learn how to cook.it. When I see the pasty mass called "rite," that is, perhaps, once in a fortnight, set uporl the nursery table, I do not wonder that the little folk turn from it with discontented countenances and declare that they "do not like the stuff." And yet rite is so easy to prepare that one marvels to see it almost universally ruined in the cooking.

BOILED RICE. Wash and drain a cup of rice. Have on the fire two quarts of salted water at a galloping boil. Slowly pour the rice into this. Do not stir once while cooking, but let it bcil steadily, uncovered, for twenty minutes.

Never cover the vessel in which the rice is boiled. Test a grain to see if it is done, and if tender turn the rice into the colander, shake the colander hard to drain off every drop of water; set in the open oven for five minutes, or until every grain of the rice stands separate from every other. Send to the table hot. RICE SOUFFLE. Beat four eggs light yolks and whites separate.

Into the yolks stir a cup of milk and two cups of boiled rice. Beat all well together and season with salt. Last of all beat in the whites of the eggs, and turn the mixture into a greased pudding dish. Bake, covered, for fifteen minutes; uncover and brown. Send this souffle to the table as soon as it is removed from the oven.

Serve as a vegetable with roast beef or with beefsteak. BAKED RICE PYRAMIDS. Cook together a tablespoonful of flour and one of butter, "and pour upon them a cup of milk. Stir until smooth. Have ready the yolks ofif iwo eggs beaten stiff, and nour the thickened milk upon these.

Now add a cup of boiled rice, mix well, sea-sou with salt and set aside to cool and stiffen. When stiff fornvinto pear-shaped pyramids, wash these with white of tgg and stand side by side in a baking pan. An appetizing combination ham and honey BOWER'S HONEY-CURED II AM. 5 house. 10x12 feet.

Sometimes when I call I think her quite the most delightful woman I know. Then again I cannot make her out. She seems to have such an effort to entertain me. Her mind wanders. An anxious look creeps into her eyes; she fidgets about in her chair and she jumps at her subjects and talks them out in a jerky kind of fashion.

Then I get up and leave. I feel somehow I am one awful nuisance." "You great baby. You men are such infants. You are right. It is "always time to leave when a hostess begins those capers.

I wouldn't, of course, say positively that you were doing something you had no earthly business to do, but I have an idea that you were, all the same. Perhaps you had been ninny enough to plump down in her best gilt chair, perhaps you had taken to fingering a piece of costly bric-a-brac, and it may have been that sofa pillow business that was your undoing. You may depend you were dreadfully in fault somehow." "Yes, Dorothy, and it may have been another fellow." Set the pan on the upper grating of the oven until the pyramids are browned. RICE BALLS.

Fashion latet Posy Krealc We are delighted to see, says a London paper, that one of the chief leaders of fashion In New York has made public her intention of abandoning the monstrous and fantastic flowers that have of late years been cultivated for decorative purposes In favor of the more homely simple ones that have the advantage of lasting fresh for a whole evening. The craze that has raged both here and in America of late for overgrown hot-house and foreign floral productions with their overpowering perfumes shows signs of exhausting itself, and a return to more simple aud artistic floral decoration will be a great gain. The single object of millionaire hostesses of late has been that the flower decorations shall bear unmistakable evidence of having cost hundreds of pounds, and consequently monstrous size, produced at great cost, has been striven for by horticulturists more keenly than beauty or naturalness. 1 i An old bachelor says that some women are born- foolish, some achieve folly, and the rest marry fools.

Kayser Allman, 1214-16 Market St. THE STORY OF A SOFT GRAY FELT The woman who tries to help her friends in a small way had a very unhappy experience the other night. She has a brother who is given to wearing rowdyish-looking hats, and coats of one sort, with a waistcoat of another and trousers of another. Such carelessness is, of course, not only a vexation to the soul of the feminine relative question, but a thorn in her flesh, and she devotes a great deal of valuable time to lecturing the lazy one on style and its kindred virtues.

Now, the hat for which this graceless brother had a special predilection was one of those eoft gray affairs that looks like a disreputable wash basin, so when the young woman found it on the hall-rack the other evening she decided that the golden opportunity had arrived to demolish it. She had taken off the band and rolled the felt into a ball, which she was beating with her small fist, when its supposed owner entered. "Whatare you doing, sis?" he inquired good naturedly. "Spoiling your hat for you," responded that young person virtuously. "No, you're not," was the hasty reply; "here's mine," and sure enough there it was in his pocket as diabolically untidy looking as ever.

Now, the hat with which the young woman had taken such liberties was the cherished possession of a young man who had brought her sister home from the golf links and who was at that moment in the drawing room, and it took ten minutes with needle and thread and brush to make it look as well as it had before it fell in the young woman's grasp, a ten minutes which the anxiety felt by the culprit lengthened into hours. Her iniquity was never discovered, but her brother still wears his wash-basin cbapeau. Baltimore News. Will Women Accept Bernhardt aa Dictator Madame Sarah Bernhardt is a daring innovator. She has decreed that henceforth no lady shall be admitted to the stalls of her theatre in a hat.

It remains to be seen if her countrywomen will bow to her decree: but if phe succeeds in abolishing the hat nuisance she will have won the gratitude of playgoers on both sides of the channel. For, surely other managers lu England and France will not fear after this to tread where she has so fearlessly rushed in. That women cannot be treated on the suaviter in modo principle where hats are concerned Is only too evident. We shall now see what the fortiter lu re will do. The man who thinks he knows it all, usually marries a woman who can teach him a lot more.
