The skirt is sufficiently full, but the fullness is 'restrained by hidden elastics; and, of curse, the skirt is short to show cbsrming walking boots with buttoned cloth tops. - Answers to Correspondents BY LILIAN TINGLE. PORTLAND. Or.. Sept. -JO. Will you Kive, at your earliest convenience, a recipe for a "Mexican roast." In which ijreen peppers are used? Thanking- you in advance. MRS. S. W. C. THE following recipe was sent by a correspondent some time ago and Is further recommended by a friend who has tried it. The latter says It may be improved for some tastes by the addition of a little Chili powder to the gravy. Other possible variations, the addition of a few stoned rtpe olives and a "hint" of garlic ob tained by rubbing the baking pan with a cut section. Mexican Roast Twenty cents worth of hamburger steak put into a chopping bowl or mincing machine with one small-sized onion; chop fine, then dredge with flour. Put this into a baking pan and divide it into three pieces by slicing it with a knife as it lies in the pan. Over this pour a generous supply of tomatoes and green peppers, which have been previously stewed until tendered, put a little water in the tomatoes, with which to thin them, and bake about 20 minutes. Do not allow to cook too long. Baste once before it is done. This makes a very palatable and eheap roast. Hubbard, Or., Sept. 27. Please, could you tell me in what column of The Oregentan I can find article on canning- and preserv ing the eweet red peppers? I was unable to find same. I have my peppers all ready pleked, so am anxious to have same. Thank ing you in advance. MRS. c. C. K. Apparently the separate "Green Pep per" article, which I wrote for the last Sunday Oregonian was published Tues day, September 38. I hope that you found It. In it will be found the recipes asked for by yourself, Mrs. S. L., Mrs. O. O. K.. Mrs. C. N. B.. Subscriber and Mrs. K. C. W. Portland, Or., Sept. 27. -Will you please, at your earliest convenience, give a formula in The Oregonian of a frosting which la uaed on snails, etc? It Is, I suppose. a sugar water frosting. Kindly tell me the propor tions, how long to boil it. whether to put it on cakea while hot the frosting) and while they are hot. Thanking you and assuring you again and again that you are a con stant source of comfort to us housewives. MRS. Q. J. I think you will find the easiest and most satisfactory way ia to use' a. "hot water frosting." made as below.. It is used by many confectioners and is quick and convenient. Hot Water Frosting Sift 1 cup con fectioners' sugar into a small bowl and add hot water, a few drops at a time.' until the mixture coats the spoon, drops and spreads easily.-- The exact-amount of water varies with the quality and condition of the sugar, and also with the weather. Very little is needed, as a rule, hence the need for stirring in "only a few drops at a" time." Mix thor oughly and quickly, and. use to frost snails, coffee cakes, plain cookies, cup caaes, etc. Do not mix until you are first ready to use it. It may be ap plied to either hot or cold cakes. On the whole. I think it goes on best when the cakes or snails have lost their first heat, but are not yet coid. I' am glad you find this column help ful. GOBLK, Sr., Sept. 28. Will you please give me in The Oregonian directions for put ting down fresh salmon In brine to keep for Winter? Thanking you in advance. L. M. I am publishing you letter here, in stead of in the daily issue, in the hope mat some reaaer wno nas had rjrac tical experience in the preserving of salmon in brine may offer "pointers" for your use. The only, recipe I have i nut iiiieuueo, particularly tor salmon, and I have not tried it Salted Fish Split and clean the fish. Rub with salt, especially along the back bone. Pack into a kegr of suitable size, sprinkling salt generouslv between the layers. Cover with a cloth and a weighted boafti to keep the fish below the brine that will form. Add a little boiled brine if needed. Wash the cloth frequently. ' Freshen the fish in cold water -before using. Aloha, Or-. Sept: 27. Will you kindly give me recipe for chocolate dip for coating nut meaz? The one -1 -have calls for Baker's chocolate, paraffine, cocoa, butter, sugar and cornstarch. The directions say to be careful about having the. water. in double boiler too hot, as the heat makes the . chocolate coating-spotted. Just heat enough: to melt the chocolate will not dissolve . the - sugar. ' At least, mine were full of little specks of sugar and the dip did not get real hard. Thanking you in advance. . MRS. B. A. T. Tou will find it better to - purchase prepared "dipping chocolate" than to use the mixture you mention. Dot Dipping Chocolate needs no prepara tion except careful heating in a double boiler and very thorough and constant working -and beating to preserve the proper consistency and temperature. Chocolate . dipping requires practice and the recognition of the exact "right point" of consistency and temperature at which to dip- A practical lesson from a skilled -friend" would teach you more than a cookbook full of recipes; and skill cannot be acquired in Just one lesson, either. Paraffine, in dipping chocolate, increases the quickness of hardening but is absolutely indigesti ble. Be sure to dip your candies in a cool room and to cool them as quickly as possible by. dropping upon a cold dish or oilcloth. .- ... Culver. Or..- Sept. S. Will someone please tell me through the pages of The Oregonian how to fix hot-malted milk with egg? MRS. o. a P. . ' The following formula-is often used at - soda fountains: Malted Xlilk and Egg One tablespoon malted milk, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon crushed fruit, 20 drops acid phosphate, cup ice water or charged water. Mix the malted milk powder, crushed fruit and egg and beat Ave minutes. Add the phosphate and crushed ice. Blend thoroughly, strain. Add-ice water" or carbonated water. A grrattng or nutmeg may be added if UKe-a. t ne roiiowing can also be com bined, with beaten egg. Malted Milk and Currant Jelly One tablespoon malted milk. Vi cup boiling water, 1 tablespoon currant Jelly, 14 cup cold . water cracked ice. Mix the milk powder to a paste with the hot water to make a smooth paste. Add the Jelly and the rest of the water. Stir to dissolve the Jelly. 'Add' cold "water THE busy girl these days is whip ping an edge on tiny Docket ker chiefs for Christmas giving not so many weeks, away, if one will count them. Colored handkerchiefs for the breast pocket and the kerchief rather small so as not to be too obvious a part wi xue cosiume. Cut a seven-inch square from pale pink, blue or lavender batiste, select ing a fine quality and drawing threads before cutting, to get the square per fectly true. Then draw out three threads along each, side, about half an inch from the edge; and. another group of three threads half an inch inward from the first group. With mercerized cotton thread and a rather fine embroidery -needle, run in and out along the lines of drawn thread, taking ud only two or three threads to a stitch. This will give the kerchief a pretty border trimraing. The outer edge is then rolled and whipped, setting the whipping stitches on an even slant over the roll. When you have gone all around the handkerchief turn it over and whip it the other way, the second stitches obliquely crossing the first ones. This gives a firm yet dainty border to your itme pocaet Kercnier. Care of Complexion T O REMOVE successive layers of tan, that coatinir taken on lftti by little and which looks at last as mucn like varnish as anything, mas sage, steaming and good cream are necessary, and even then the cure in many cases, will be extremely slow.' In fact, sunburned hands have been known to hold some Dart of th artificial browning for a good year, and there are skins which never entirely recover from a good cooking. Other skins will icomiiu in a very snort time to system atic treatment. Begin by steaming the face every day. after that wiping it carefully, and while still warm applying the cold cream. Follow this with eentla. ma- sage, keeping the thumb steady against tue ia ana moving the four, lingers of the two hands in a circular way. Cu cumber cream is thought to be spe cially efficacious in treatment of tan, as it is both slightly bleaching and "eaung in its eiiects. A cucumber lotion is also admirable and has the advantage of being more easily made at home. The following formula gives an excellent lotion for sunDurn, out it is equally effective in cases of mere roughness and redness: Oil of sweet almonds, five ounces; fresh cucumber Juice, ten ounces; es sence of cucumbers, three ounces; wnno casiue soap (powdered) one fourth ounce; tincture of benzoin, two thirds dram. "' - The cucumber Juice is obtained by boiling cucumbers in very hot water. They should be sliced very thin, skin ana an, ana be allowed to cook slowly until dissolved to a soft mush. Then strain through a fine sieve and then through a cloth. The essence is made by putting an ounce and a half of the juice into the same quantity of hlirh proof alcohol. Put the essence and the soap in a large Jar with a cover and shake well, and when the soap is dis solved put in the cucumber Juice and shake the bottle again thoroughly. Then pour the mixture into a bowl and add the oil and benzoin, stirring all the while till the liquid is creamy. Keep the lotion or milk in small. tightly corked bottles, set away in a aarK closet, ana always shake before Using. As with tan., massage and steaming are valuable agents in banishing the oummer crop or ireckies. The cucum ber and lettuce creams and lotions used for tan are likewise good, the cucum ber 'especially holding the arsenic needed for bleaching But masage is most necessary in both cases, as thl promotes the. activity of the skin and Helps it to throw off the blemish. In cases of long-standing freckles even massage nas been known to do won ders, but, of course, a good lotion must also be. used. The formula below gives a freckle lotion approved by a world-famous journal: Lactic acid, four ounces; glycerine, two ounces; rosewater, one ounce. Apply several times daily with a soft Cloth or bit of absorbent cotton. If the burning is severe, for any bleaching lotion is smarting, use the lotion less frequently and apply the cucumber or lettuce cream immediately afterward. Much of the Injury caused by sun. wind and glare might be avoided if the owner of the sensitive skin only took the precaution to face the outdoor Jaunt with a light coating of cold cream well massaged into thj pores and coated in turn with a harmless powder also well rubbed in. An ounce of prevention, where skin troubles are concerned, is worth a pound of cure, and since tan in its worst forms is very hard to remove, let me advise everybody- to remember the makeup, and a red-brown veil as well, next Summer. s i (" Is ; if ' 2k " r if I ! 3 Its far-reaching and beneficial effectswere immediately recognized by hundreds of physicians and surgeons, by fashion writers and hygiemsts; also-and this is even more significant by every intelligent woman who had the good fortune to see it and test it.
