THE first acid fruit of Springtime Is the rhubarb or "ple-plaut" nnd It presents a very welcome change after the heavy diet of the Winter. There arc ninny ways of preparing this dultity. and in its varied forms It may be MiUxcd often. V'e present some of the best dishes. llhutmrb and Apple Tic. Fill a paste-lined plate with chopped rhubarb and apple, canal parts, add plenty of sugar, some tits or butter, sprinkle a little flour over all, cover with a ton crust and bake. Serve hot or cold, as desired. lUiubarb Tarts. Line small pastry or gem pans with pastry, prick with a fork, and bake In a moderate oven. Remove the tart shells from the pans and till each with stewed, well-sweetened rhubarb. A spoonful of whipped cream heaped on each tart, adds to the appearance, and makes them de licious. Mock I.emoa He. Yolks of five eggs beaten well, hulf cup of vinegar, three cups of sugar, the cups of water. Put on the stove to boil; then dd three heaping tablespoons of corn starch mixed with a little water. When done, remove from the stove nnd add lemon extract to suit the taste. Beat the whites of eggs, add one and oue-halt cups sugar and pour orer the top of the pies. Put in oven to brown. Rhubarb CuMiml. One pint of sweetened and steamed rhubarb. Strain over this one-half ounce of gelatiu, which has beeu previously dis solved In sufficient cold water to cover ft.

When ready to serve, turn out of the mold on to a fancy plate. Kscallopcd I.htiburb. Put into a pudding dish a layer of buttered bread crumbs, then one of finely cut. rhubarb, add a generous sprinkling of sugar, and a dusting of cinnamon, repeat this process until the quantity is sufficient for the number of people to be served, making the lust layer of the crumbs. Cover and buke for half an hour, then remove the cover, and let brown. Serve hot, with cream. Dream Sandwiches. Cut stale bread in one-fourth-inch slices, remove crusts and cut in halves lengthwise. Cut mild cheese in slices the same size as slices of bread and sprinkle with salt and cayenne. Put a slice of cheese between each two slices of bread and saute in butter until delicately browned on one side; then turn aud brown other side. , Pile on plate covered with a lace paper doily. Rhubarb Dumpling. Cook the rhubarb, making of it a sweet sauce. Make a biscuit pastry, roll out, and cut In four-inch rounds. In the center of each round place two tablespooufuls of the rhubarb sauce, gather the corners of the pastry together at the top, pinch into place firmly, brush with milk, and ar range in a deep baking dish, not allowing the edges of the dumplings to touch. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a hot oven. Serve with the remainder of the rhubarb sauce, or with cream. Serve very hot. These are delicious. Maple-Chocolate I'ud(;c. Maple-chocolate fudge is a delightful sweet. To make it, put Into an iron pot three and a half cups of granulated sugar, one-half cup of maple sirup aud a cup ful of rich milk.

Farm Women Worshipers of Fashion WHEREAS Mr. Blanchard and other Federal investigators have been impressed with the added com rorts and conveniences that have been brought to the farm home as a result of prosperity, several women who have been engaged in field work upon roving com missions from Uncle Sam have taken cognizance, so they tell Printers" Ink, of the fact that women ou the farms aro better dressed than formerly. This Is doubtless due In some measure to that selfsame prosperity which has come to the farmers as a class, but it is blso at tributable to a change In domestic policy. Country women are departing, though less radically than city women, from the standards ot their grandmothers. In the country, thus far, the upheaval has af fected feminine dress to a much greater extent than it has household administra tion. In the city, as Walt Mason tells in his ode to the can-opener, and as every pack er or canned goods can testify, ths trend aided, ot course, by the popular liy or npartmeut-house life is toward less aud less cooking In tho home. The couptry woman husu't adopted that cult. She even does her own canning und pre serving, with the assistance of the Im proved equipment now on the market, and like as not she also operates a churn a small cider press, etc. ' But she Is getting away rrom the Idea or doing nil the sewing tor herself and children. As a result of the attainments or tho professional garment makers and the reasonable prices at which tbey are enabled to place ready-to-wear costumes ou the market, mother and daughters la the average rarm homo now obtuln their tailored suits from tho advertisers who take big space In the farm and house, hold Journals. And, perforce, they uiu better dressed than ever before. But this does uot signify, of course that sewing by hand and machine is In any sense a lost art In the taim home as It la In many a city habitation wheru the household Income Is no greater. The rarm housewife Is nu energetic needlewomen as or yore, but she dis charges her responsibilities In this line much more readily because of the Im proved equipment that Is now ut her dis posal owing to the progress of Inveutlon and the gain In rural prosperity. Sewing machines operated by electric motors, dress forms of tho pneumatic or other type, automatic skirt markers and a number of other widely advertised spe cialties have smoothed tho pathway of the home dressmakers. The greater variety and accuracy of modern paper patterns has also helped and household adjuncts such as clothes hangers and tho patented portable (knockdown) closets enablo the farm women to keep their clothiug In much better condition than was possible la the old days. Sardines Fried in ('ruinlxt. Take sardines (the larger the better) wipe dry, season with suit, pepper and a dash ot lemon Juice. Dip them In flour then Into beaten egg, and lastly in broad crumbs. Heat about three ounces of butter Id tho blazer, add the sardines turning them occasionally until a nice eoldeu brown.
