Answers to Correspondents BY UllJAN TIN'UUw PORTLAND. Or.. Jan. 10. Can you tell me whether there Is any differ ence. In preparation and so-forth. be tween Spanish onions and the ordi nary kind? 'Toung Housekeeper." r pants a onions are not only much larger than' the ordinary onions, but also more tender in texture and sweeter and milder In flavor.. Hence theyconld be used successfully In any recipe which calls for ordinary onions, but recipes calling definitely for Spanish onions re sometimes disappointing If the other kind should be substituted. Span ish; onions on account of their Juiciness ind ; delicate texture are particularly food for baking ur frying, but plenty f time must be given In order to de velop and preserve their delicate flavor. They are good baked In their skins or la paper. They are the best of all onion for stuffing either with meat, fish. nut. or savory cereal or bread crumb . mixtures. They should, of course. . be parboiled before being stuffed. Doctors often recommend purees, soups and porridge of Spanish onions on account of their more gen erally agreeable flavor and of the fact that some people can digest these when ordinary onions cause Inconvenience. A famous dish of a famous French res taurant Is a baked Spanish onion la the heart of which la a lamb's kidney seasoned aa only French rooks know how to season, things. Ordinary onions. If not too old and tough, can be more like Spanish onions br being "blanched" before cooking. To blanch onions, put them, after washing and peeling. Into cold water with a little salt. Ulnr to the boil, strain and wash the onions In fresh cold water. Leave' tbem ln this for a short time, then put them on again In boiling water with" salt and a tiny pinch of sugar. If a very mild flavor Is desired, change the wafer once while boiling. Let me know If you wished .tor any, particular recipes for Spanish onions. PORTLAND. Or, Jan. . Relying on your usual good nature, may I ask If you know anything about the nature and right proportion of a "mystery" my motheV used to make in which she used, to the best of my knowledge, certain proportions of dry flour, finely minced suet, lots of black pepper, and salt necessarily. After mixing the same. It was filled Into bags, about the size of bologna ssusage. which were then boiled hours. 1 think, dried and finally sliced, beaded to a crisp brown in the oven and served aa a breakfast relish? I hsve propounded this mystery to dosena good cooks, who look askance at me when I declare that It was very good Indeed, but no one seems to have heard of such a queer thing. So look ing for better tidings from you. who seem to know all things eatable I shall be most grateful. Miss G. K. 1 I think the "mystery" Is really an interesting historic relic julte a prim itive form of the venerable "bagge puddings" from which a number of our modern dishes are descended. Tou probably remember that King Arthur stole two pecks of barley meal to make one. Not being a trained cook he neg lected to chop the suet properly. "Great lumps of fat. as big as my two thumbs." certainly call for condemna tion. Being a king, and having stolen the meal he could well afford to "stuff It welt with plumbs" ordinary people went without these. Tou will also re member that "what the courtiers could not eat, the queen next morning fried" hence Its use as a breakfast relish. In Kent and In some other parts of England "bag puddings" that cor respond to your description are freely used by country people. In Scotland you get similar "puddings" mads with oatmeal Instesd of flour: and I know of a similar dish in Germany though I forget the name at the moment. An old recipe for Kentish hag pudding calls for half a pound of finely chopped suet to one pound or for a plainer pudding to one and one-quarter pounds of flour, with two teaspoonfula salt, and nearly one teaspoon black pepper. The exact amount of seasoning coild easily be adjusted to taste. In some recipes the dry ingredients are simply mixed together and put into a bag. with room to swell, and boiled In the same pot with a piece of beef If pos sible. The more usual recipes call for wet ting enough to mske a medium dough, which Is then boiled In the bag. An egg is sometime! used in the mixing. Chopped onion and dried herbs, pars ley, sage, thyme or marjoram are some times used to give additional savor. I should advise you to try a small Quantity first, remembering that many of the delicious things we ate with our milk teeth seem not to have Just the same flavor when our wisdom teeth grind them. PORTLAND. Or. Jan. . I have been reading with Interest your msnus, the one for this week Is tempting, but also beyond my culinary skill. So I am going to ask for a few direction that I may make the attempt. So If you have space, will you "elucidate" Scotch lollops, black bean soup, lentel roll, and chicory and orange salad. And Is the mutton casserole fresh or loft over meat? My family has been trained to do without desserts so I shall not Inquire into their mysteries, but wish , i to thank you for whatever help you are able to give. K- S. B. I am glad you find the menus sug gestive. A good black bean recipe is the following: One pint black beans, two quarts cold water, one small onion, two outside stalks of celery, one clove, one-half-inch square bay leaf, six pep percorns, three tablespoons butter or drippings, one and a half tablespoons flour, about half a tablespoon salt, pepper, mustard snd cayenne to taste, pinch of sugar, half a lemon. Soak the beans over night. Put into the soup kettle the onion and celery cut up. Add the smaller flavoring ma terials tied In a bit of cheesecloth, and half the butter. "Sweat" these a few minutes to develop the flavor. Add the salt, then add the beans and water. Simmer several hours, adding more water, as It boils away or cook in the flreless cooker. Rub through a sieve, reheat to boiling point, mix the re maining butter and flour, and add to the boiling soup together with a sea soning of pepper and a touch of mus tard, with, of course, the inevitable pinch of sugar. Serve, garnished with wafer-thin slices of lemon. Sliced hard-boiled eggs are also the proper accompaniment of this soup which is an exceedingly nourishing ona and maV be the most, substantial dish of a meal. I will try to "elucidate" the re mainder of your chosen dishes nejt week.

Mhen done turn out the cakes, and when cold dip them Into white boiled Icing flavored with violets. While the Icing Is moist dec orate the cakes with crystallized vio lets and stems and leaves made of dark green citron and mint.

Serve them In a large cake dish on lace edged paper with a sprinkling of candled violets and leaves about the dish.

The narrow skirt Is to remain In vogue indefinitely, certainly throughout the Spring and Summer, and It will be simply trimmed or have no trimming at all. . This score for economy should be cordially appreciat ed after the discouraging Inroads that Fashion s whims for the past two sea sons has been making upon feminine finances. The very smartest of the new skirts are of a simplicity and plainness that Invite even the most unskilled home dressmaker to try her luck with shears and tissue pattern: If the task is un dertaken carefully, there is no reason why the veriest novice should not ne gotiate a highly satisfactory new skirt of marked modlshness from the gener ous breadths and plaited fullness of some half-forgotten garment of by gone seasons.

There was a touch of the fur and net at the girdle,- which was of folded satin In blue, matching the velvet (the velvet being too heavy for the purpose), with very narrow pipings of the paler blue. That fetching little frock was evolved from a one-piece velvet street suit. which had become frayed at the neck and wrists and which had already done good service in its original ca pacity. The slight flare of the rather wide skirt had been eliminated and the gores remodeled to the modish narrowed-in. semi-tube effect. The long line of velvet-covered buttons down the left side and all other marks of the tailored garment had been re moved; the long, plain sleeves had been piped up past the elbow, the worn wrists had been cut off, and the extra length had been drawn up to form a pretty shirred sleeve of elhow length.

There was a fine remnant of black, which I wanted the worst way, but I knew I couldn't afford to buy the silk for the under dress. Suddenly I thought of my old silk one-piece frock that I had discarded early in the Summer. It wasi in that pretty shade between blue and green, shot with golden lights, and in stantly I had a picture of the effect the black chiffon would make draped over it. I purchased the remnant and fairly flew home. Now I've finished it, and it is really beau tiful. I gathered all those sunburst plaits in at the knee upon a broad hob ble band (not the real hobbly kind) of sateen, which I had covered with the silk taken from the bottom of the skirt and pressed out later rhlrrlng chiffon over It. This gave the band strength and enough weight to hang properly. I left the bodice almost as it was, only removing a lace frill and some fussy tabs. Then I put the dress on my ad justable wire lorm (they're a wonder ful help to the home dressmaker) and proceeded to drape my black chiffon over It. I had cut out the lace yoke, with its high neck too. and had bobbed off the sleeves. I caught the chiffon up here and there with (what do you thlnk? some tiny silk roses and rose buds that I unv.ove from a wreath I once had on a hat!

I wish you could see it! The chiffon cost me only J2-07." This description surely sounds allur ing enough to interest any woman who loves prej.ty clothes but must count her pennies in the possibilities of dis carded silk frocks. Some Winter Salads planned, and the damp cloth and hot iron applied assiduously before the pieced gore is basted to the other gores, the seam will be hardly percep tible. It may seem to the skilled home seamstress an unnecessary thing to urge the Importance of basting. But if the unskilled girl or woman is ever to acgulre the valuable knack of sat isfactorily making her own clothes. It Is Just such tedious essentials as these that must not be overlooked. How many times do we see some Impatient amateur "running up" her seams, un basted. on the sewing machine, and taking the very doubtful chance that It will be all right! There Is about one chance in 10 that it will be all right. nd nine that It will not: in the latter case, the seam must be ripped., which Is trying on the disposition and hard on the cloth, and in the end the bast ing must be done after all. or the fit and style of the garment ruined by the fault. It requires a very clever seam stress and one of long experience, to negotiate successful seams without basting, and to dispense with basting Is a case of "haste makes waste." The amateur dressmaker who conscien tiously bastes, is the best economizer of time, and produces more satisfac tory results. Untiring use of the press ing iron and the basting thread will demonstrate effectively the truth of the old St. Nicholas maxim, "the long est way round is the shortest way through." .

Se lect whole tomatoes and turn them into a saucepan, adding one small onion, six cloves and one-half cupful of finely chopped celery. Boil for half an hour, then strain, season with salt and papri ka and add one-third of a box of gela tin dissolved in a little of the boiling liquid. Pour into after-dinner cups and set away to cool, afterward chilling sol idly on the Ice. When ready to serve, turn out the cups on to a bed of crisp lettuce and cover the salad with a thick mayonnaise. SWEET FRUIT SALAD A slim luncheon may be Instantly glorified with a salad of this sort if a sudden caller drops In. Half a grapefruit, one oranRe. a ripe pippin, four thin slices of onion and a wisp of garlic are its main Ingred ients. Peel and skin the orangv and grapefruit and cut the apple in thin slices, skin and all; then break the fruit into inch bits and sprinkle a little sugar, salt, paplka and a dust of dry mustard through It. For the rest of the dress ing work tip the yolk of one Hard-boiled egg with olive oil, dropping this in grad ually until there Is enough to moisten the whole salad. Toss the fruit in the dressing, and put a little of it on a good sized lettuce leaf when serving. This salad may also be made with a raw egg, but It must be well beaten be fore the oil is dropped in. and when tho two substances are together they must be beaten quite ten minutes. POTPOURRI SALAD All the cold, vegetables that are In the house mtiy bo used for this cauliflower, beets, green peas, celery roots, carrots, salsify, cab bage, potatoes, etc. Drain the vegetables of liquid and dress them with olive oil, salt, pepper and a little vinegar or lem on Juice. Put everything together and pile the salad in a mound at one end ol a flat platter of cold meat. A cauliflower boiled In plain waier ior 9ft minutes, and served with a plain French dressing, makes a good salad, but if the vegetable is boiled longer than this its deliclousness will be gone. INDIVIDUAL APPLE SALADS. Pick out the prettiest red eating apples that can be bought, cut a slice trom ton and iroon out inside. Mix the filUna with chopped celery, a little mlncod on ion, salt, pepper and mayonnaise, ami stuff the shells, putting a blob of tho mayonnaise on top of each apple. SPANISH ONION SALAD heiect a large Spanish onion or two. medium sized ones. Carefully remove two iaj ers from the outside of each, using a sharp knife to detach them from the rest of the onion after a slice has been cut from the top .to make this feasible. Chop the rest of the onion nnely bet ter grind it in a machine and mix; with salt, cayenne, and olive oil and stuff it into the shell, putting a dust of the parsley on top. BEET AND HELD SAL.AD this ae icious dainty is as decorative as it is good to eat. and the green used has quite a tonic influence on the system. Boll the beets with skins on in plain water until tender; drain them and set aside to chill. Then pick over the green leaves, removing all yellow ones and stems wash in several cold waters and dry thoroughly in a eoiander in a cold place. When ready to prepare the salad cut the beets in thin slices and sprinkle them through the green, using a French dressing and tossing the vegetables thoroughly in it. This is an excellent flank for ronst meats or fowl. BOILED PEAR SALAD Choose cook ing pears and boil them whole in plain water without letting tnem get too soft. Drain and chill them, and then sprinkle over granulated sugar, a tablespoonful of rum or brandy, two or more of olive oil, and several squeezes of lemon juice. This is ex cellent for game or guinea fowl. The Tenderfoot Farmer It was one of these experimental farmers, who put green spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory was that it didn't matter what the cow ate so long as she was fed. The questions of digestion and nourishment had not entered info his calculations. It's only a "tenderfoot" former that would try such an experiment with a cow. But many a farmer feeds him self regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shav ings for all the good be gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach grows "weak" the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness To strengthen the stomach, restore the activity ot the or-. . ianm ot digestion and nutrition and brace np the nerves, use Dr. Pierce' m Golden Medical Discovery.
