Cookery

Two Ways to Bake Cookies.
Almond Cookies. One-half pound of
butter. oDe-half pound of sugar, three
yolks of eggs, one-half cupful of milk,
three cupfuls of flour, rind of one lemon
grated, four teaspoonfuls of baking
powder. Mix, roll out thin and cut into
small cookies with the following on
top. of each: Three whites of eggs
" beaten, three-fourths pound of pulver
lzed sugar, one-half pound of chopped
almonds. Mix well together.. Make
this one hour before mixing cooky
dough.
Oatmeal Cookies. Cream one cupful
of butter, one and one-half cupfuls of
sugar till light. Add three eggs beaten
light, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one
teaspoonful of cinnamon, one cupful of
popped nuts, one-half cupful of raisins
blended with flour, two cupfuls of oat
meal. Put nuts, oatmeal and raisins
through meat grinder. When thorough
ly mixed add two cupfuls of flour sift
ed twice and one teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in one tablespoonful and a
half of boiling hot water. Drop on
cooky pans by teaspoonfuls and bake.
Sandwich Filling.
Cold bam and cold chicken minced
together make a most delicious Oiling
for sandwiches. Fried ham ground fine
Is always more savory than boiled bam
for sandwiches.- In fact, some persons
fry the chicken which they are going
to use for sandwiches in order to get
the delicate browned flavor. The pot
ted meats which come for sandwich
fillings are more delicious if they are
mixed liberally with mayonnaise dress
tog. And these same potted meats are
useful in croquettes, souffles and other
made, dishes. The smallest can of the
highly flavored potted meat mixed with
the minced meat of which such dishes
are to be made is sufficient to give a
rich flavor to quite a large amount.
Half of a small can is abundant with
the meat for croquettes or souffle which
Is to serve four persons. Most of these
meats have a bit of garlic and other
high seasonings which he American
housekeeper is unwilling to test for
herself, but which she is willing enough
to use if some one else, like the canner.
makes the blend for her.
To Bake a Turkey.
Bake it with the breast down. In
this way all the fine flavoring of the
turkey, the juice of the dressing and
all the daintier Juices flow down to
ward the breast of the fowl, and when
the white meat is served you get the
full benefit of every flavor added dur
ing the processes of preparing and bak
ing the turkey, in addition to the dis
tinctive taste of the fowl itself. If you
desire to place the fowl on the table
before carving you will find that it will
look quite as well as It would if baked
in the usual way, and certainly it will
taste much better.
Walnut Coffee Cake.
One-half cupful of butter, one cupful
sugar, one-half cupful of strong oof
fee infusion, one and three-fourths
cupfuls of flour, two and one-half level
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, whites
of three eggs, one cupful of walnut
meats broken In pieces.
Cream the butter, add gradually the
sugar, then the coffee and the flour
sifted with baking powder. Beat well
and add the egg whites beaten stiff,
then the nut meats. Beat again and
bake in shallow pan in moderate oven
for forty-live minutes. When cool cov
er with frosting.
Creamed Celery.
Take the white stalks and hearts of
two bunches of celery and boil in salt
ed water until nearly tender. Drain
and put in a dish to keep hot while
the sauce is prepared. Put into a
saucepan two tablespoonfuls each of
butter nd flour and as soon as melted
add half a cupful of the water in
which the celery was cooked and :i
generous cup of cream. Cook until
thick and smooth, season with salt and
jtepper, pour over the celery, grate a
little nutmeg over the top and serve.
Creamed Oysters.
. Splendid for lunches, teas, card par
ties, etc., a dainty and delicious way
for serving oysters. Scald one pint
oysters in one pint of boiling water,
then drain. Put the water in the sauce
pan with two tablespoonfuls of butter,
a little mace, two bay leaves and salt
and pepper. Let it come to a boll and
add a tablespoonful of cracker crumbs
and half a pint of cream. Let it come,
to a boil and add the oysters and then
cook two minutes more. Serve od
toast
Molasses Candy.
One cupful of New Orleans molasses,
one cupful of brown sugar, a teaspoon
ful of vinegar, an ounce of butter. Mix
together and boil, being careful not to
Itir until the sirup hardens In cold wa-'
ter. Stir in a teaspoonful of baking
soda and pour into buttered plate.
When cold enough pull with the ends
of the fingers.
To Salt Almonds.
. Put the shelled almonds into boiling
water to loosen the skins. Bub off the
skins, dry the almonds and put them
into a spider of boiling olive oil. When
they have come to a nice brown drain,
put on waxed paper and sprinkle with
salt.
CHILD TRAINING.
L E&ng up a child to observe the
ordinary usages of good society, to
be careful of the feelings and rights
of others, never to intrude, never
to listen, never to tattle, always to
consider others before itself, and
show it by unfailing example that
such behavior is expected.
A Good Rule.
A good genera) rule Is not to neglect
your work to watch for opportunity'.

ENSEMBLE SETS.
Hat, Cape and Muff of
Satin and Marabou.
BW IN SATIN AND MARABOU.
It Is very Frenchy and chic this
season to have an ensemble set, con
sisting of hat, cape and muff, made of
satin and marabou.
Such a smart little outfit is pictured
of black satin and white marabou.
The muff is an enormous confection
resembling a big. loosely tied bow.
And there is an air of newness about
the shoulder cape, which is gathered
in lamp shade effect.
The poke shaped bonnet is becom
ing to a piquant face.
Parted Lips Soften Photograph.
A woman was being posed for her
photograph in a gallery the other day
when a well known actress happened
in. She stood a few moments watching
the struggles of the sitter to assume a
satisfactory expression. At last she
offered a small suggestion. "If you will
moisten the lips and slightly part
them," said she, "you will find the face
takes on a natural, unstrained expres
sion at once. When the photograph is
finished the mouth Will not appear to be
open in the least, but there wili be a
soft line where the lips meet. The teeth
will not show unless the lips are sep
arated considerably. But as for that,"
she added, "many a face looks its
prettiest with the teeth showing a wee
bit not displayed in a grin, you know,
but merely suggested." The woman
who was being taken took the advice,
and the pictures turned out to be the
most satisfactory she ever had posed
for.
Care of Aluminium.
Aluminium utensils for the kitchen
are becoming dally more popular on ac
count of their light weight and cleanliness.-
They must never be washed
with soda; soap and water being all
that is required, with a little powdered
whiting for polishing.
Ready For the Ball.
Chiffon cloth as a material for the
evening frock has lost none of Its well
earned popularity. It lends itself beau
tifully to draping and is light and at
the same time durable.
The cut displays another variant of
the ubiquitous black and white crea-

tlons which this winter are to be seen
in all modish attire.
The black velvet s3h and wide bands
of white cluny lace give the frock cn
air of exclusivenesa and style apart
from the average magpie party dress.
Reflecting Lighthouses' Origin.
Accident, not necessity, was the par
ent of the invention of reflecting light
houses. During a meeting of a mathe
matical society at Liverpool some
years ago one of the members-laid a
wager that he could readli newspaper
paragraph at ten yards distance by
the light of a farthing candle. - "This
he succeeded in doing by covering the
inside of an earthen dish with putty
and sticking bits of looking glass on it
and then placing his reflector behind
the candle. . Captain Hutchinson, a
dock master, was present, and from
this experiment gained the idea from
which he evolved the reflecting light-"
house as built in Liverpool.

The Blue
Ribbon
A Nan Becomes a Convert
to Its Charms
By CLARISSA MACKIE
Mr. Turner glanced listlessly at the
latest applicant for the vacant position
In his office. She was a rather tall
girl, quite stout, with light hair. and
blue eyes. There were soft infantile
curves to her features that suggested
a sentimental disposition. Mr. Turner
uttered a soundless snort of contempt.
"What experience have you had?"
Turner began, glancing at the card
which bore the young woman's name.
Flora Cass.
Miss Cass proceeded to relate in a
monotonous voice that she had been
employed by various concerns in the
city, and she presented sundry letters
of recommendation from the different
establishments, which all appeared to
be cheeerfully resigned at the prospect
of dispensing with the services of this
competent stenographer.
"Wear blue ribbons in your hair?"
rasped Turner at length, turning his
sharp eyes upon her.
Miss Cass tossed her head defiantly.
"Well, nobody ever asked me that ques
tion before," she uttered in an offend
ed tone.
"Do you?" insisted Ralph Turner.
"Sometimes," snapped Miss Cass
rather impertinently.
' "Well," remarked Mr. Turner, play
ing with an ivory paper cutter, "I will
make a note of your name and ad
dress and let you know within a day
or two whether you will fill our re
quirements." "Old crank!" muttered Miss Cass as
she went down in the elevator. "I'd
I ASKED TOU IF YOU EVER WOKE BLUB
RIBBONS."
like to see the man who can dictate
to me whether I' shall wear a blue rib
bon in my hair or not!"
As she stepped into the street she
bowed to a tall, pretty girl who paus
ed for an Instant beside her.
"I haven't seen you for some time
Miss Cass," said the pretty girl pleas
antly. "I've been working right along," ex
plained Miss Cass hurriedly. "Are
you working now. Miss Dorman?"
Hester Dorman shook her head. "You
know the' firm I worked for went into
bankruptcy. Except for some stray
work at home, I haven't anything to
do."
"Want a position?" Miss Cass grin
ned impishly.
"Of course I. do," was Hester's eager
reply. -
"They want a first class stenogra
pher and typist up there in the Kalph
Turner Insurance company, room 212.
I don't suit because I wear blue, rib
bons in my hair. Perhaps you'd do.
Miss Dorman."
"Blue ribbons? What has that got
to do with it?" Miss Dorman looked
puzzled.
"Hasn't got anything to do with it
that I know of, only he asked me if
I ever wore blue ribbons in my hair,
and I told him that I did sometimes,
so he didn't engage me." v
Hester Dorman smiled as she went
up in the elevator to the second floor.
Work had been very dull in her field,
and it seemed as if every business firm
In the city was retrenching in office
expenses and that there was no room
for her anywhere. She needed the
Work too. Her father, was not very
well, and she longed to be of some as
listance in sharing the wage earning
so that he might take a hard earned
and much needed vacation. If she
could get this position at $12 a week
she knew she could persuade her fa
ther to rest for. a couple of months.
At Vt door of No. 212 she paused,
and a rief prayer fluttered on her
lips before she entered. An office boy
took her card In to Mr. Turner, and a
moment later she was sitting before
bim in the same chair that Flora Cass
had occupied. -
In response to his queries she briefly
set forth her experience in the work,
offered her references and stated her
price. " '
Ralph Turner nodded his head ap
provingly as he listened to her recital.
When she had concluded be asked with
less confidence than be had inquired of
Miss Cass.
"Do you wear blue ribbons in your
hair?" -
Hester shook her head, suppressing
the. smile that struggled to come to the
surface. "No," she said gently. . .
"You may think it a peculiar ques
tion, but the fact is that I've lost five
stenographers in the past two years
all because they wore ribbons in their
hair married my clerks or my neigh
bor's clerks or bookkeepers until I've
been continually breaking in new typ
ists. I resolved never to hire another
young woman who was addicted to the
wearing of blue ribbons in her hair."
"You may feel perfectly safe so far
as I am concerned," assured Hester.
"Will you be here tomorrow morning
at 8 o'clock?" asked Ralph Turner.
"Yes," she replied and went away
happy as a bird at the idea of once
more being among the workers.
The next morning when Ralph Tur
ner passed through the outer office on
the way to his sanctum he nodded ap
proval with a good morning to the
slender, dark eyed girl sitting at her
desk. He noted that she wore a simple
dress of some dark material and that
she wore no Jewelry, and her abundant
hair was neatly dressed.
He spent considerable time showing
her what to do and explaining the na
ture of the work she was to perform.
She was to be his especial stenogra
pher, and instead of working in the
large room where half a dozen other
girls clattered away at as many ma
chines Hester Dorman had a small pri
vate office near that of Mr. Turner.
Hester soon fell in line with her new
work and grew to like it She grew
to like Ralph Turner as well and to
understand that his outward air of
gruffness covered an unusually warm
heart and a whimsical turn of mind
that made him a most interesting com
panion. .It was easy to see that; Mr. Turner
was not interested in women. To hiiji
they lived and moved and had their
being quite apart from "him. The girls
In the outer office chattered with their
tongues, clattered at the type machines
and coquetted with the callow clerks
under his very nose, but he saw them
not. So long as they turned out good
work and obeyed the rules of the office
he appeared satisfied. He accepted
them as inevitable results of woman's
hunger for a busier life. As for his
personal stenographer, there h. was
particular to a fault. But be fonud lit
tle to criticise in Hester Dorman's ex
quisite neatness of attire and her fault
less work.
Hester had been there- three months
before Ralph Turner looked up -from
his letters one day and really saw her.
He started imperceptibly when he re
alized that she was pretty nay,- more
than pretty; she was beautiful. To
gaze at her was like looking at some
lovely picture painted from lifer
Hester Dorman never knew when
the transition from his indifference to
interest took place in the breast of
her employer. She only knew that she
had never been so contented and hap
py in all her life before. '
One morning as he passed her desk
Ralph Turner paused.
"Miss Dorman" He hesitated.
"You will recollect that when I em
ployed you I asked you if you ever
wore blue ribbons in your hair?"
"Yes, Mr. Turner." she answered
wonderingly.
' "It was merely a passing fancy on
my part that my stenographer should
not do so. If you pr care to wear
them pray do so. I would not place
too many restrictions upon you," he
said awkwardly and went into his of
fice. "How funny!" thought Hester as she
resumed her work. "Why should he
concern himself over the color of our
ribbons'?"
Indeed, why? Because Ralph Tur
ner realized that he loved for the first
time. He loved Hester Dorman, but
he doubted whether she could ever
care for him In the same way. There
were younger and more attractive men
in the office, and perhaps if Hester
had had a fair chance with the others
if he had not demanded that she
dress plainly or hint that such was his
wish perhaps her beauty would be
more apparent to the other chaps.
Hester -ought to have her chance.
He waited several weeks, and Hes
ter Dorman never wore a blue ribbon
in her hair. But she wore pink sig
nals in her cheeks whenever she spoke
to him, and he was too obtuse to un
derstand their significance. One day
he accidentally overheard two of his
clerks talking.
."Old Turner will be advertising for
another stenographer of the nonrib
bon sort," remarked one flippant youth.
"Why?"
"Because he'll be marrying Miss
Dorman before long. They certainly
like each other pretty well," grinned
the first youth.
"Like each other pretty well!" -
The words sang themselves into Tur
ner's heart. That must mean that
fcestef might like" him too. In spite
of his grouchy ways and his banning
of pretty ribbons in his office it was
possible that she did care. He resolv
ed to ask her.
He did, and her reply had nothing
to do with blue ribbons.
The new stenographer was a young
man, and he had curly hair and wore
baby blue neckties, and nobody cared,
because everybody was so happy.
And Ralph's- young wife always)
wore a broad band of pale blue rib
bon about her head at the breakfast
table because he liked it.

office can only be justified on the
ground of good work, carefully
thought out, economically done with
in our means and all in the interest
of the people of the city.
Along these general lines there may
be room for honest discussion and
difference of opinion, but in the end,
with open minds, and all the facts
before us, right action should result.
I now refer to the following mat
ters of more than passing interest
which should engage the careful at
tention of this council:
First The water works. An issue
of $20,000 of water bonds has been
provided by the vote of the people
when our present charter was adopt
ed; an engineer has been employed
by the last council; plans and specifi
cations made and bids sought for the
installation of a water system suita
ble for our growing city. Up to date
the bids have not been, satisfactory
to the retiring council and no contract
has been let and the whole ..subject
matter is in our hands for final dis
position. Without seeking to dictate the
policy of the council, I wish to em
phasize the importance of selling our
bonds first and providing the cash
before we let the contract.
We have already been offered 95
cents on the dollar for these bonds,
and I am fully persuaded they are
worth par. A vigorous effort ought
to be made by the council to dispose
of them at that figure. A full thous
and dollars i3 worth saving. Since
the water works were not constructed
last season during low water, the quea
tion is submitted, whether we ought
to run the risk of the increased cost
incident to winter- construction
Especially is this thought applica
ble to the excavation at the river and
erection of pump station.
I have made sufficient investiga
tion to assure you that we can in
stall the plant within our bond issue,
providing due care is observed on
our part and proper economy exer
cised. I am strenuously in favor of the
construction and completion of the
water system at the earliest possible
moment, consistent with business
sense, and at all hazards this present
year.
Second A petition is on file for
the improvement of Portland avenue,
and a street grade "therefor has been
established. No plan, however, has
been suggested or adopted, which has
come to my knowledge, providing for

the disposition of the storm water
which accumulates each winter an.l
which now finds an outlet over Port
land avenue, through an open ditcn
to the river.
I suggest the propriety of first es
tablishing a sewer district of all that
portion of Gladstone lying east of
Portland avenue, and laying a trunk
line sewer from the river- northerly
on Portland avenue, at least as far
as Dartmouth street, thence up Dart
mouth street to , accommodate the
church and school house if thought
desirable, before the improvement of
Portland avenue is undertaken: An
assessment, according to benefits, of
such a large territory, would reduce
the expense per lot to a very. Jiw
figure.
With this storm water provided for
I am in favor of the improvement of
Portland avenue as soon as the coun
cil and property owners liable there
for, think wise to commence the same.
Thirdr I am in favor under like
conditions of the improvement of
Dartmouth street, from Portland ave
nue easterly to Yale avenue, and to
the County road if thought best, at
least to the extent of grading the
same and laying a sidewalk on one
side of the street.
Fourth I find myself in hearty ac
cord with the last council in their
effort to obtain a stopping place for
passenger cars at Hereford street,
and will cheerfully co-operate with
the- present council to bring to pass.
riii.u i am not satisnea with the
present railroad rates from Gladstone
to Oregon City and Portland.
For some reason not consistent
with justice or common sense, the
late effort to have fares reduced on
the motor line has actually resulted
in having our rates raised to Oregon
City. While other points received
substantial reductions we were treat
ed with scant courtesy.
I am in favor of pressing the mat
ter in season and out of season for
a twenty-cent round trip rate by book
from Gladstone tp Portland and a
return to the six cent round trip rate
hy book to Oregon City, which we
had for so many years.
The report of the Recorder on file
shows that warrants from one to 44
inclusive have been issued during the
past year, and aggregating $847.31.
No cash has been received. A five
mill tax on all property in the city
was levied on the 9th day of Decem
ber, 1911,-by Ordinance No. 26, and
returns thereon may be expected this
present year.' The. nmhohio
therefrom will amount to about SI -350.00.
I ask the most scrupulous economy
In all expenditures. Let us be liberal

times conservative.
