The Kitchen In Summer.
The kitchen is a great problem, for
it Is likely to be small, crowded and
hot The window here must be open
constantly. The range must be forgot
ten. All heating of water or food must
be done by gas If an electric range Is
impossible, and an acquisition that
will pay for itself Is a tireless cooker.
This is easy to handle and means that
the gas stove need be lighted but for
the briefest period In the morning,
when the food for the evening will be
heated to the proper point It then is
removed to the fireless cooker and left
to reach perfection by night, while the
fire is put out A chafing dish In the
dining room will save work and kitch
en fire, as will a few of the electric
contrivances, such as a faster, flat
iron and percolator. The man of the
house may even heat his shaving wa
ter with a little electric stick instead
of having the boilerful heated by the
range for his needs or the kettle plac
ed on the hot gas stove to send waves
of heat through the cool house.
The food itself .should be made sim
ple for the summer. A diet consisting
largely of vegetables and fruits and
cereals Is used by hundreds who never
could be classed as "cranks" as soon
as warm weather begins. Iced tea,
coffee or lemonade and coo! milk or
buttermilk will be far better than hot
drinks. Heavy puddings that must be
baked or boiled may be replaced by
ices, fruits and other cool things. Sal
ads in place of meats will appeal to
the eye and the appetite on a hot day
and will eliminate much cooking and
consequent heat When a hearty meal
must occasionally be prepared with
the 'aid of range or gas stove and the
rooms in consequence are overheated
just as evening is coming on the old
remedy of a wet sheet hung in the
breeze for an hour or so In each room
will do wonders in the way of making
the atmosphere cool and refreshing.
Cocoanut Candies.
When fresh cocoanut can readily be
obtained there is no bonbon nicer than
one of cocoanut fondant combined with
chocolate, coffee flavoring or maple
sugar.
For coffee creams with cocoanut put
half a cupful of coffee and two cup
fuls of sugar on the stove to boil.
When it begins to spin a thread when
a spoonful of it is lifted up and poured
back, remove it from J;he fire and stir
into it as much shredded or grated co
coanut as it will hold. Then beat it
until very stiff and drop it in spoon
fuls on waxed paper. These candies,
after hardening, may be dipped in
melted chocolate or maple sugar.
The following recipe is for a white
cocoanut bonbon, which may likewise
be dipped in chocolate or maple sug
ar: Mix powdered sugar and sweet
cream together until a soft fondant is
formed, then stir in grated cocoanut
until the whole is stiff. Mold it into
balls, and when they are hard cover
them with melted maple sugar. When
melting the maple sugar add a tiny bit
of butter. This will give it a richer
flavor and a smoother surface when it
hardens. If the sugar seems to have
been thinned too much by the water
added in melting, test it by stirring a
little of it in a cold saucer. If it hard
ens it is all right
Orange Cup.
This is one of the nice punch bowl
drinks that are all right for the chil
dren's lawn party: Peel half a dozen
oranges, remove every particle of the
white pith, divide Into sections and
take out seeds and membrane. Put sis
heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar in a
saucepan with the juice of two other
oranges and some of the grated yellow
rind and simmer untH the sugar is dis
solved, but not boiled. Arrange the
pieces of orange in the punch bowl.
Combine the sirup and cold water to
make a pleasant sherbet flavor with
orange flower water and pour over the
oranges In the bowl and at the last put
in several pieces of ice to make the
"clink" and keep the contents of the
bowl cold.
Delicious Short Crust.
Rub a quarter pound of butter into
half a pound of flour previously mixed
with half a teaspoonful of baking pow
der, one ounce of sugar and a little salt
Make a well ln the center, break into
It an egg. work together, moisten if
necessary with a little water and roll
out
This paste is best for an open tart
for which purpose the paste Is laid on
a plate, and a roll or wall is placed
around the edges. Bits of bread are
laid on It It is then baked, the bread
removed and the paste filled with stew
ed fruit or jam.-
For the Tea Table.
Small sugar cutters, which are really
scissor shaped tongs, are a great help
to the hostess at afternoon tea, for it is
a difficult matter to select a lump of
sugar which Is the proper size. The
little-cutters may be used In place of
the ordinary sugar tongs as well as for
cutting the lumps into halves or quar
ters. French Pastries.
Fruit tartlets are excel lent-pastry se
lections for this 'season of the year.
Almond paste puffs and- chocolate
eclairs are always favorites.
MAN'S FREE WILL
Man's free will is but a bird in a
cage. He can stop at the tower
perch or he can mount to a higher.
Then that which is and knows will
enlarge his cage, give him a highei
and a higher perch and at last .
break off the top of his cage and
let him out to be one with the
free will of the universe. Lord
Tennyson.

OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE
CHAUTAUQUA
TO BE TENT CITY
That many residents of Portland
are planning to spend their vacations
at the Willamette Valley chautauqua,
which starts July 9, is indicated by
the large number of inquiries being
made for tent accomodation. H. E.
Cross, secretary, says there will be
more tents pitched on the grounds
this year than ev.er before, and it is
believed now that all that have been
engaged will be taken long before
the . assembly starts and many more
will have to be ordered. The grounds
will be a veritabe tent city, and all of
the tents will be occupied during the
entire meeting. The booklet which
has been issued by the association
shows the program to be the best ev
er arranged, and there will be some
thing interesting or exciting going on
almost every minute of the meeting.

finest fruit farms in the county. They
also have a fine kennel making a spe
