THE SUSPAY OREGOXIAy, TOIlTLAyP, AUGUST 13, 1911. ' 1 . PERIOD ROOM FURNISHED IN STYLE OF LOUIS XV GOOD FOR RECEPTIONS Draperies Should Be of Old Roe Satin, PT IXiVWE BALDWIN DOOUTTLt In; foi w HAVE been asked to give a scheme for a small reception room tbla reek, and suggest a period room, or rather a modified period room, as moat suitable fnr this especial one. The room la small, with two windows and two arched doorways one Into the entrance hall and the other leading Into the dining-room. I should panel the walls and use a Louis XV style of fur nishing. The walla I should have la soft ray the lovely French array that shows a lot of yellow In the high light and a soft violet tone In the shad ows. The low wainscot and all .the woodwork should be In old Irory enamel. ' The draperies and curtains must be the main features of this room. The lace curtains should be of French knit or Brussels. In that sheer soft fineness that makes one think of a rare old lace shawl. The oer-draperles should be of old roee satin, lined with old Irory satin and edged with a silk full fringe In the same shade of old rose. The applique comes readymade, and Is to shades of old rose and dull soft green. The lambrequin Is made over the con ventional box. and has the old gilt moldings with the lVory and gray tones of the walls in the rococo design. "The draperies at the doorways are to ba bung In the same way. The same ro coco design Is to be carried ont In the archway. The light fixtures should be In tha same French design. The center chan delier could be of the basket order In Ivory and gray, with the fruit and flowers In old rare soft green and old gilt. The sidelights should be similar, only In candelabra. All the chains and books and small hardware In this room should be of the same old dull gilt, not brass nor copper, but old an tique gilt. There are four panels la the room, and I should use an an tique mirror, one framed In the an tique gold: and below this a table of pure Louis XV style. This, together with three chairs and a small settee, would be all the furniture required. This I should have In cane, set la gray enamel, with touches of the gilt. The style of chair shown In the Illus tration Would be excellent for this room. in the three other panels I would Suggest mezso tints In period frames, and should choose the pictures In the right color scheme. For Instance, take the portrait of Madame Louise, painted by Nattier or Henrietta rte Bourbon. Cnnty. or any of these French subjects. In which the color scheme Is In old roe. pale blues and yellows. The metso tints or water colors are moat appropriate for this room. There Is a fireplace and grate In this room ard there should be a mirror, set In full length of the panel on tha mantel a little French clock and a vase or two or a small marble statuette. Fhoil hang the pictures by silk cords on fancy beaded nails made for this expeclal purpose and driven In tha wall below the molding of the panel. Use old rose silk cord the same ahade as the satin In the draperlea by which to hang the pictures. This Is a little touch that goes far to add finish to this room. The rug should be a French Aubussen In floral design. Ivory and gray and old rose. If the Aubussen Is too expensive, and they do come hta-h. then one can substi tute a modern Turkish rug made spe cially for these period rooms. I used one In a Louis XVI reception room with very good effect. They cost 1230 for a by 11 size and although I've seen none here In Portland, they are easy to get. are of modern make, and are made la these especial patterns and colors for Just stirh rooms; but they are soft In coloring and rich In weave. A recep tion room like this will be convention al enough to adapt Itself to the pur pose and also not be over ornate nor overbalancing the rest of the rooms. The plain walla give Just the quiet background for the few well chosen pictures and to bring out the applique In the draperies. The chairs and table are not of the over ornate design which a lot of the Louis XV stuff is. but when one chooses the best designs, a very lovely effect can be had and yet keep It In quiet and harmonious lines, well balanced and dignified, suitable for a i FROEBEL PILGRIMS VIEW PROGRESS OF KINDERGARTEN WORK IN EUROPE Seventy Instructors See How Youta in Edinhurg, London and Paris Are Trained by Most Approved itethods and Gain Ideas for Advancement of Instruction in America.

It waa thought by the educators present at that meeting that It would b a good thing to come la con tact with the educators of other eoantrles by Journeying across the water, visiting our sister countries and finally to end the pilgrimage la Germany, th birthplace and home of the founder of the kindergarten.

In the various branches of higher education the Council Is associated with several other authorities, such as the University of London, the city com panies, the governing bodies of en dowed polytechnlcal Institutes. The Council works In close association with the Board of Education, which Is the central authority entrusted by Parlia ment with the duty of supervising all branches of education throughout the country. The Council spends annually about It. 000. 000 sterling on education. Th committee on education, whose meetings are open to th public and are held every Wednesday at the Coun ty Hall. Is composed of &0 members in cluding nine women. Th age of com pulsory attendance at an ordinary ele mentary school la from S to 14. Child ren tinder t but more than S may be admitted to school. During the past year the average attendance waa 0.1 per cent of the average roll. The attendance of children at school Is enforced by personal visits paid to th homes of the children by I4S at tendant officers, who work In close co operation with th teachers. On entering, the child Is enrolled In the Infants' department- This depart ment accepta children as young as S and keeps them at school from until 4 o'clock. It wag with much Interest that we accepted an Invitation to visit m. rew of these schools. We found the head mistresses, as th principals, are called, most cordial, with their well trained assistants, as they have a teachers' college, who did all In their power to let us see under what diffi culties they were working. School Child's Home. In these Infant schools the child virtually lives at the kindergarten. Tbey have a lunch for the child after the kindergarten of the morning, en tertainment In the afternoon and beda for nap-taking, and then they are sent home, aa the mother has been out t work through the day. They are gradually eliminating th three R's. which they were obliged to teach some years ago aa soon as th child entered. Now the child Is con sidered more than previously and more kindergarten work la evolved. We saw some most excellent work In the kin dergarten, true, creative, original work and the children are moat enthu siastic. The educational year In the London schools Is 10 months. There are too schools.

Girls are eligible to domestic science on reaching the age of 12 and and It Is Intended that every girl should for two years spend one-half day a week at Instruction in domestic econ omy. The syllabus of Instruction varies with the needs of the district and with in the limits of the homes and incomes of th parent of the children attend ing school. , freedom of Wider Scope. Tha tendency of th last few years has been to diminish the number of examinations and to give more free dom to teachers In framing their cur ricula. The school Is the focus of much' social activity. Play centers, vacation schools, and happy evenings are provided. An association of vol untary workera sends Into country homes annually about 40,000 children of the elementary schools. Much attsntlon Is given to medical inspection. Meals are provided for those children who are found to be In need. Also those In need of clothes are provided. The question of finding employment for children when they leave school Is now receiving increas ing attention. The books, apparatus and stationery required for use In schools are supplied from a central store. The Council has for the past few yeara conducted a few open-air schools In different districts of London. The physical condition of the pupils is kept under regular observation and results are carefully recorded. The teaching staff numbera about JO. 000. The salaries bill for teachers In elementary schools alone amounts to 12.660.000 a year. The new scheme of superannuation Inaugurated by tha council for teachers came Into opera tion April 1. 1911. Schools are estab lished for defective children blind and deaf and also for those physically defective. Provision Is made for the training of teachers. University education in Lon don haa undergone considerable devel opment since It was re-organlzed In 1"0. Technical and evening school education Is provided at tha Imperial College of Science and Technology, at University College and Klng'a College, and other Institutions of university rank.

The objects they have In view are to see that the chil dren are clean and adequately fed. and to train them In habits of cleanliness, to occupy them Indoors and out-of-doors In a manner aultable to their childish years, and to obtain the co operation of the parents.

BT LILIAN TINGLE. (Canning and Preserving Series, No. 6.) VEGETABLES, owing to the spore bearing bacteria present in many of them, are always more difficult to aterlllze and keep from decay than are fruits. The latter have their natu ral acids to help them In the fight against decay, afa are besides more likely to be, attracted by the more easily killed organisms the yeasts and mold, than by spore-bearing bacteria. Before the advent of the preserving can, old-fashioned housekeepers usually depended upon salting, drying, or pick ling, for the Winter storage of garden supplies.' Dried herbs, dried young peas, dried corn, dried celery and dried tomato pulp and soup vegetables are still sometimes useful for the modern housewife, and have the virtue of oc cupying little space and calling for no special expenditure for -cans or fuel. Salting is still widely practices In regard to cabbage, cucumbers and to matoes. The two former are usually allowed to undergo natural fermenta tion with the formation of acetic acid, resulting In the formation of sauer kraut and dill pickles, respectively. Cucumbers and under-ripe tomatoes are also sometimes kept in brine with out fermentation; and are used, after being "freshened" In cold water, either for salads, for stewing, or for vinegar pickles. Put up in this way. In open crocks, they will keep for only a lim ited length of time. Corn also may be cut from the ear and put up In a crock, with plentiful layers of salt, and will keep for some time in this way. It needs, of course, to be thoroughly washed In fresh water before cooking, and, as the top layer sometimes be comes a little musty. It can only be re garded aa an economical method, where the material Is very plentiful, and of comparatively less value than the housekeeper's time, fuel and cans. This Is quite frequently the case on tne farm, but very seldom In the city. 'Pickling In vinegar makes the vege tables more indigestible, besides re stricting their use to the small quanti ties proper to a "relish." There re mains, therefore, canning as the most convenient form of storage for super fluous fresh vegetables. Now, while it Is tru that owing to the high tempera ture necessary for complete steriliza tion of vegetables, factory canning Is usually superior In keeping qualities, and factory-canned vegetables of fairly good quality are usually obtainable at reasonable prices; it Is also true that where an abundance of home-grown, vegetables is available, and where a housewife has the neoessary time and strength to devote to the process, home canned vegetables may be a decided economy, and the results, with due care, may 'be distinctively superior in wholesomeness and flavor, to factory canned goods. In connection wrtb all canning, however, a word of warning should be given: "Don't use up a price less amount of wife and mother In an effort to save a few cents on a can of corn or beans." This may makd them the most expensive kind of food material. Better live all winter on car rots and turnips. The open-pan method, as explained In previous lessons, is necessarily un sulted for the preserving ot vegetable, though occasionally successful with to matoes, which, of course, are really a fruit. Cooking In the cans ror a very long time Is fairly satisfactory; sometimes It is well to do part of the cooking In the open pan and then finish the sterili zation In the can. Another metnoa Known as jmermu- tent sterilization," is orten satisfac tory, and convenient. In this case the material ' Is cooked In the cans for a comparatively short time on several auccesslve days. ine laea is mat enough heat is applied at one "ses sion" to kill all yeasts, molds, and growing bacteria. The spores, how ever, will resist conditions fatal to de veloped bacteria. The spores, then, are given a chance to develop, if they are present, and the cans are again heated to a fatal temperature. This method Is convenient when a housewife Is un able to oversee the long boiling three to six hours otherwise necessary. Generally vegetables should do treat ed as follows: 1. Use only thoroughly sound, fresh j velvet with a coquo feather ornament In shades of brown and coral at the sides. The blade of uncut velvet In front Is coral colored, with a lining- of the dark brown velvet which covers the crown. The woman who likes a rather trim little hat for wear with tailored suits of wool and mohair, through first Fall vegetables, carefully picked over, washed and drained. A little salt In the washing water is desirable, espe cially In such vegetables as asparagus and cauliflower, to kill and extract any otherwise Invisible small insects. 2. Green vegetables are best "blanched" by being plunged for five minutes into boiling salted water con taining a tiny pinch of soda. They should then be drained and rinsed with cold water. 3. Pack the prepared vegetables into the can. previously rinsed In water, and fill to the- brim with fresh water, plain or salted, according to the kind of veg etables used. Sweet Juiced vegetables, such as green peas-very young beans, corn or asparagus, are often Improved by the addition of a spoonful or so of sugar to each can. 3. Adjust the lids, etc. according to the kind of can used, but do not have them quite tight. 4. Place the cans on a rack in a wash boiler or in a steam cooker. Pour in cold water to the necks; cover and bring gradually to boiling point, 5. Where there is much shrinkage, it is sometimes worth while to open the cans when partly cooked, drain off some of the liquid, and fill up tight with vegetables from another can. This takes more time for cooking as well as more trouble; but . very nice looking cans result. 6. When the necessary time of cook ing has been given, remove from the pan, setting the cans on a surface that Is neither damp nor cold, tighten caps, clamps, etc., and let cooL 7. If the full time has been given, all that Is further necessary is labeling and testing the caps, every day for a week or 10 days. When "Intermittent sterilization is adopted, the cans will be reheated, after again loosening the caps several times in succession. As a' guide the following table of minimum cooking periods for different vegetable may be useful. The times given apply to cooking in the can, counting from the time actual boiling begins. Where intermittent cooking Is preferred. Increase the total time by one-third, and divide the result into three or four sessions. In any case longer cooking than the hours stated will probably do no harm, though less may mean the loss of your time and material. Vegetable, Asparagus ... Lima beans . String beans Green corn . ..

They can be prepared when there is no "rush," and kept for when there is. Simply drained and combined with mayonnaise, cooked dressing or cream dressing, they make an "instan taneous salad'' of very attractive char acter. Use the drained juice for soups or sauces. Or simply heat the veget ables with abelr Juice and a little water, a bouillon cube or two, and a little thickening corn starch, wheat-hearts, fine vermicelli of Chinese noodles any of which cook In five minutes, add sea soning, and you have a substantial, al most "Instantaneous" soup. Equal parts of carrots, turnips, celery, onion or leeks and green peas, with or without a little tomato and green pepper makes a useful mixture. Mushrooms shrink so .much that it will be necessary to open and fill up the cans by the method previously sug gested. A very large amount of spinacn, or other greens, will go Into one can, if the material is previously cooked, well Dressed and chopped. Then all that is necessary for hasty serving is reheating with a little butter or stock. Just a sprinkle of flour to prevent waterlness, and careful seasoning. Canned spinach, or other greens, may prove useful to have on hand where there are people on a diet calling for a constant supply of green vegetables. Then you need never fear lack of time for the neces sary careful picking and preparing, or the failure of the vegetable man to provide the right materials.

Canned whole pep pers may, later, be used for stuffing, or as a basis for several egg and cheese dishes. Corn for canning should be very young and fresh. The pulp should be pressed out by scoring each row and pressing with the back of a silver knife.

So early in August it la time to think of between-season frocks, and as these will have to do service in the early Winter months as well as through the Fall, they should be made of the latest, most up-to-date materials the shops now show. Silk and wool poplin la one of the prettiest materials for the late Summer dress. And a dress of this material that is suitable for the late warm days out of doors will serve until it is worn out for Winter days indoors. TWb poplin comes in the softest and most harmonious imaginable tints. It is 44 Inches wide and comes in a good qual ity for about $1.30 a yard. Voiles and veilings, cotton, cotton and wool or all wool are already shown in all the latest shades of blue, brown, green and gray. A dress in one of these mixtures which range from 60 cents to 21.30 and $2 a yard is service able for late Summer and early Fall. , Mohairs from $1 a yard up make good street dresses or suits for between-season days. There is a certain fresh look to mohair even after it haa been crinkled and wrinkled with much use that makes it ideal for warm 1 weather wear. Imported serges come at $1 a yard. They are made in all the lighter colors for afternoon and house wear. Noth ing could be more attractive for the early Fall than a street gown in this imported serge In one of the new blue or tan shades. Thin-weight broadcloths in light shades are also shown, and as they vary in price as well as in color they can be found to suit any taste and any pocketbook. But although a good qual ity broadcloth has practically no wear out to it. Imported serge has the ad vantage over broadcloth in point of price, for $1 will buy a yard of very good Imported serge equal perhaps to broadcloth at 31.50 a yard. Challle remains in favor. New lots, showing the latest thing in point of color and design, come at prices begin ning as low as 50 cents. MART DEAN.
