An important costume is the "going-away" gown. carefully planned to complete the picture, as it were. This , is a rather unusual "going- war gown, of gold-colored Chinese crepe and black satin meteor, with bands of deep cream "Venise lace and dull sold composition buttons set Against the black- satin. The hat is trimmed with roses and lilac sprays nd the straw is in the mauxe tone of the massed flowers. It would be indeed a pity, -were the mother of the bride, so closely associ ated with the -wedding party during ceremony and reception, so gowned that her costume clashed with the frocks of the bridesmaids, or by its color robbed them of "significance. The niaternal raiment therefore ' is very carefully selected for a modern wed ding, not simply as a handsome gown, as it used to-be, but as a harmonious part of the pageant. This -dignified and beautiful costume of heliotrope and -white satin, with soutache em broidery in the darker shade, is ad niirable. not only in color, but in lines and general style for the mother of the bride. Lace frocks,, dropped over silk dips of faint, sweet-pea tints, are fash ioned as bridesmaid costumes this Spring though as a matter of fact the bride may exercise her individuality and taste in selecting the costume of her maids. This lovely frock of white net and filet lace is worn over a slip of sweet-pea lavender satin. Stockings and slippers show two ebades of pinkish lilac; the hat has a lace underbrim facing over a deeper tone of the pinkish lilac and its trim ming of pink roses is veiled with pale ilac tulle which forms a long stream er, trailing down over the bridesmaids' bouquet. Answers to Correspondents BT LILIAN TINGLE. CLATSKAME, Or., May 16. Dear Mi Tingle: Please give recipe for canning chicken and other .meats in glass jam. Thank you. HEADER. PREPARE and cut -up the chicken as for fricassee. Brown the meat lightly to develop flavor. Remove the bones to secure closer packing. Season with pepper and salt as for eating. Pack closely into previously scalded Jars. Pour over two table spoons concentrated stock and a little tried-out .hot chicken or bacon fat. Adjust the lids, set the Jars on a rack in a wash boiler. Bring the water to . the boil and boil three hours, count ing from 'when boiling actually begins. Remove the cans (and screw the lids tight, if screw tops are used). " Let cool and store in a cool place. ' Other meats may be similarly treat ed. Chicken and other meats may also be canned without browning, but the flavor is not so good. i Miss Helen Cowgill. of the United .States Department of Agriculture, sug gests that if in canning meats or fish or any material you frar it might not have been boiled long enough, one can erf the batch should be set for a week or 10 days in the warming oven. If this shows, ween opened the faintest trace of not keeping, then the rest of the batch can be re-sterilized and thus loss can be avoided. . The chicken bones are taken out to aave space in the Jars. They should, however, be utilized, together with the akin, for soup or stock. In connection with canning meats, read the following letter: HEEDSPORT, Or., May 6. I -will g-ve A.

SUBSCRIBER. Many thanks for your letter, which will prove encouraging to those who are Just beginning to learn the econ omy of meat and fish canning, when the materials are plentiful and fresh. PORTLAND, May 17. Dear Miss Tingle: Will you kindly publish a quick, easy meth od of making white bread the kind you bake in the evening. Also how to make pineapple and apricot or other good com binations of preserves. Thanking you for your many kindnesses, respectfully. FLORENCE PRIEST. Directions for, bread making were given in the Oregon food campaign col umn May 27. I hope you saw it. By using more or less yeast and hastening or retarding the rising by putting the dough in a warm or a cool place, you can arrange to bake your bread at any time convenient to you. No special recipe is needed. Conserves are usually made with equal weights of prepared fruits and sugar, with or without nuts. The fruit and sugar are usually arranged in lay ers in the kettle and allowed to stand over night to make a syrup without adding water. The mixture is then cooked gently until thick and trans parent, and the nuts are added Just before removing from the fire. If sweet fruits only are used, a little lemon or orange Juice is usually, a good addition. If lemon or orange peel is added, cook . tender before putting into the syrup. You can hardly go wrong on combinations of fruits if you simply take taste and convenience as your guides. Generally equal parts of dif ferent kinds are used. Write again if you wish a detailed recipe for any par ticular combination or suggestions -for combinations. Pineapplo .will "so" CLACKAMAS. Or., May 25. Dear Miss Tingle: Am inclosing a recipe for ginger cookies which 1 know to be fine. " MRS. I.' II. W. " Many thanks for your recipe. Ginger Cookies: One' cup molasses, one cup sugar, one-half cup hotwater. Boil together 10 minutes, let cool, then add one-half cup butter, one-half cup sour milk or cream, one teaspoon gin ger, two level teaspoons soda; flour enough to roll. t . HILLSDALE. Or.. May 14. Desr Ml Tingle: Will you be kind enough to tell your numerous readers how to "put down" butter for future use? Also, can beef suet be prepared so It will keep for future pud dings, etc., and how? Thanking you In ad vance, yours truly, K. E. 8. Directions for putting down butter and for clarifying beef suet have been given since your letter was received. I hope you saw them:, if not, please write again. This reply is intended also for Mrs. E. H.. Mrs. S. E. C, Young Housekeeper" and "Jean, Read also the following letter ' for a slight variation on the methods pre viously given: ILWACO. Wash.. May 21. Dear Miss Tin gle: Am interested in your formula Elven on May 18. for clarifying fats for domestic use, and send the following, given by s friend recently: For beef fats, render carefully and strain then add a little less than one-half the amount or salad oil to the beef fat, mix well and cool, putting it away in crocks or tins, same as lard. She uses this for all shortening purposes and prefers it to lard. Also another formula given me recently: To ab.out four pounds beef fat. rendered and strained, add one cup ,'resh sweet milk, mix thoroughly, and when ctoled It will resemble the butterlne. of the market and can be used for all purposes. Have not tried this as yet. I have several cans of lard slightly rancid, purchased very cheap, that I want to renovate. Can you suggest anything more than in your instruc tions on My 18? Thanking you . for help in many cases through tni- column, MRS. E. W. Many thanks for your letter. l am glad you find this column helpful. I do not-remember at the moment any better method for treating rancid fat than those suggested May 18. The charcoal is very helpful.. Possibly other readers may have suggestions to offer. -The following is given In reply to a request from the "food economy" housekeepers' class in the Girls' School or trades: Buttermilk Salad Dressing Heat the buttermilk in a double , boiler, only to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring con stantly. Strain through' an old table napkin or other cloth previously scald ed uniu enougn whey has run out to leave the curd of consistency of very thick cream. Season this according to the kind of salad for which it is In tended. Use sugar, lemon Juice and very little salt for fruit salads. In some rases the lemon will not be need ed. For salads where a sharp dressing is needed, season to taste with lemon or vinegar, salt, mustard or horse radish, white pepper or paprika, and cayenne, and a few grains of sugar. Many varying flavors can be obtained in this way to suit the particular salad for which the dressing is intended. Portland. Or.. May 2S. Dear Miss Tingle: Will you kindly advise me how to salt down shad to keep until next Winter, when they may be taken out- of the crock and freshened to broil or fry? CS." N. I have had no experience in salting shad, but I see no reason why they should not be treated like herring or smelt. Perhaps some reader can come to the' rescue with further experience, but I would suggest the following method: Salt Shad Clean and split the shad down the back. Rub salt freely into the flesh, pack in a crock or keg. with salt, between the layers. Place a board and weight on top of the fish to keep them under the brine that' will form. When wanted for use wash and soak until freshened before cooking. I should be glad to know if any reader has had successful experience in drying shad. Portland. Or.. May 26. Miss Tingle: I asked you about making rye bread, but could not find the reply In the paper. I would now like to ask If sugar can be too strong to use the amount given In a recipe. I bought T sack of sugar called berry susar. l.waa told It was made from cane, At the same time . I bought a new stove. Every cake I have made since has been ruined. They don't bake in the bottom nd stick to the pan like burnt sugar. They don't rise a bit. I used one-half the amount of sugar at another time. That was better, but still heavy. I have new pastry flour, too. What -do yon think is the mat ter? - I hope you can help me find a rem edy, or suggest one. Thank you very much for your past favors. L. Rye bread recipes were given Sun day, May 26. I hope you saw them. In regard to the cake, I think it un likely that the sugar Is at fault. It is usually well to weigh rather than to measure the sugar and other materials for a cake,, because some kinds of sugar "pack" more closely than others, and very varying weights of flour can be made to go into a cup. Usually two cups of granulated sugar will weigh approximately one pound, and when a recipe calls for two cups it means one pound; but some times more sugar than a pound can be packed into a cup. "Scant the sugar measurement" is always a good rule for a beginner in cake making, because I find most young cooks feel that a little extra sugar" ought somehow to Improve the cake. I wonder whether you can be using old or damp baking powder. Evidently you do not yet understand your new oven. Always "learn a new oven before attempting cake. Of course, there is also the possibil ity that you are using a poor method of mixing, or a cake recipe with poor proportions; but I suspect your failure is more likely to be the baking or the baking powder. Albany. Or.. May 25. Dear Miss Tingle: Have inea to get an answer to the en closed question before, but presume the let ter was lost some way, so am trying again. Toe enclosed lemon pie recipe does not state If the crusts should be baked before the mixture Is added, and am appealing to you to see wnat you tnink. Lemon pie with three crusts To one cup sugar add one cup molasses, two finely chopped lemons, one and one-half cups water, and when at a boiling point add large teaspoonful of cornstarch dissolved In cold water. Line the dish with a thin crust, pour In half the mixture, cover with another thin crust, adding the remainder of the mixture and the top crust. I wish to try the same, but am not sure whether to put the raw crust between th mixtures, as It seems to me it would not bake as it should. Can you advise me through The Oregonlan columns? Tours gratefully. M. L. 8. Before using that recipe I should want to see a pie made by it. and i person whp had eaten and enjoyed it It does not sound at all good to me. I suspect that an uncooked crust must be Intended, and that this crust is for the purpose of soaking up the syrup that is used for filllag. Possibly some reader may know and love this partlc- lar pie. but 1 have never met it. I have, however, met a very good "three crust lemon pie," in which the crusts (of very light, puffy pastry) were baked separately and then put togeth er with a lemon cream filling between two layers and whipped sweetened cream on top. Hood River. Or.. May 21. Dear Mlsi Tingle: Can you tell me a means of keep ing water or whey from forming In Junket? I seem to have considerable trouble that way. Also will eggs put into waterglasi with which the water was mixed while hot, keep ? I do not mean that the waterglaas mix ture was hot when put on them. The drug store made a mistake In Its directions, but claims that it will not do any harm If the water was mixed with waterglaas while hot. E. J. C, I think you may be (1) overheating the milk for your Junket: or (2) using too much Junket: or (3) trying to serve Junket in something other than the glass or dish it is "set" in. Junket al ways breaks and "wheys" when dis turbed. Put the mixture into the serv ing glasses and as soon as set, put them into a "cool place until you are ready to use them. 1n regard to the eggs, I think they will be safe, though the proper way is to add the water glass to boiled and cooled water. To make Quite sure you might write to the Oregon Agricultural College, where a special, study has been made of egg preservation. Portland. Or., May 18. Would you kindly publish, through The Sunday Oregonlan, recipes for popovers. Thousand Island salad dressing and cherry olives? Wrote some time ago asking for them but suppose you did not get letter. I would like to have your recipe for above. Thanking you In advance. . MRS. O. B. I hope you saw the recipe for cherry olives in last Sunday's paper (May 27). Popover and Thousand Island salad dressing recipes have, also appeared since your letter was written. I hope you saw them; If not. write again and I will repeat them as soon as the "time limit" expires. So many letters are reaching me Just now asking for recipes or suggestions that have been recently published that I would remind readers that replies are given in the daily as well as in the Sunday Oregonlan. Frequently a more prompt reply can be given in the for mer than in the latter. I must also remind readers that while I am always glad to reply to questions (as far as space permits) in these columns, it is never possible for me to send personal replies, or to an swer questions on the telephone. Also, it is seldom possible for me to promise a reply for any particular date, though I try to meet such requests whenever I can. Estacada. Or., April 26. My Dear ' Miss Tingle: A correspondent asked you about "chess" pie. About 15 years ago I visited in. Los Angeles. My hostess, and apparently all the women of her acquaintance, made chess pie. of. which I had never previously heard or read. When I ate it there I thought it delicious, but for a stand-by I like a good old-fashioned lemon pie. 1 ap pend the recipe exactly as it was given to me. It Is really a cream pie, but they called It "chess." A. R. M. Many thanks for your recipe. Chess Pie Mrs. J. W. M. : "For two pies. 5 eggs. 54 -cup butter - cup sugar, vanilla flavoring to taste. Beat the yolks and sugar together until they are a perfect froth. Beat the butter to a creamy froth also. Quickly add them together, flavoring with a little van illa. Bake in open crust. It will rise very light. As soon as done nave ready the whites beaten to a, stiff froth, sweetened with a little sugar and a few drops of vanilla. Spread on the pies and color a delicate brown In a moderate oven. The secret of the tles not becoming heavy is cutting and distributing the pieces on the plates while hot. If allowed to cool without cutting the pie will fall. This is strange, but true." Women Fllllna- Position. In Miss Violet Pammel.

Miii r'UJRE.N'CE 1RWIX. one of the keenest analysts known of auction bridge and other card games, continues as confident as ever that the newly developed game, "pirate bridge," will never come to anything. She has recently spent several weeks at Palm Beach, where she has met and played with many of the best players of the country, and the last word from her on the subject is as follows: "There is nothing to pirate auction. there never has been and there never will be. It is merely a flash in the pan: it has no future. Just as it has no present and no past. It will never be accepted. Many of the . biggest players in the country were at Palm Beach during the time I was there, and I wish you could have seen the con tempt with which they regard the game. It made an interesting diversion and interesting reading. The maga zines which described it deserve our thanks, both because they gave us something new to talk about and be cause they wern't afraid to afford a chance to a novelty. As literature it was entertaining: as a game. it would bo horrible. X "Plrste" Played. "I have played all Winter with whist club men at Palm Beach, and I seldom even heard pirate bridge mentioned. There wasn't a game of it played. And yet, from time to time, I would get letters from small, far-away towns ask ing me if I had written a book on pirate bridge, and whether it was superseding auction in New York. That is about the best Joke ever. I always answered that I saw no danger of it superseding auction, for as far as I knew no one played it at all. But as it seemed odd that none of the big players should even mention it. while quite a number of the very little ones were so excited about it, I finally asked a whist club man to find out and let me know as soon as he got back to New York Just whether there was anything to it. "This was his answer: 'I d6n't intend even to touch it. May take the place of tiddley-wlnks; certainly won't ever take the place of auction." For many years I have tried to guide my readers aright. I didn't want to tell them now and warn them against a new game if there was any chance of its coming. But. after all, how could It possibly come? There is no play to It. You go through agonies of bid and accept, and rebld and reaccept. and after long, weary so,ulrmings you settle down to play, and the chances are two to one that there is no play to it. If your dummy happens to be opposite you. where he belongs, you may at last get a little belated fun out of the hand. But if the two partners play next each other Instead or opposite each other, there is really less chance for skill than if you were actually playing tiddledy-winks. Knlea Not Made by Few. "I suppose that all players know that the laws used by the bridge play ers of the entire country are made by the New York Whist Club. At one time the club made these laws without any outside consultation, and the re sult was a great deal of dissatisfaction. Accordingly, they very wisely took a country-wide ballot of important and well-known players and abided by the desires of the majority. The result has been a uniform game, a cessation of bickerings, a strengthening of weak places and general satisfaction. Cer tainly the New York Whist Club is the highest court in deciding bridge ques tions.' Nor do I believe that any In novation can possibly gain general ac ceptance without winning Its support. Mr. Foster, on the other hand. Is pushing the game to the utmost. In a r-cent article in one of the New York papers he states that four well known teachers of New York meet once a week to study and discuss the technical features of the game and incidentally to overplay duplicate hands at auction that have been pre viously played at the Knickerbocker Club and compare results. As in pirate there are presumably no misfit hands, the results show always in favor of pirate. "Pirate-" Reduces Strategy. This is precisely one of the chief objections offered to the game. The majority of players don't want hands that are absolutely suited to each other. They want to take- their chances. If it develops that they are suited, well and good. It not. the strategy and skill attendant upon a contest against odds lends a zest ano interest which constitute in reality one of the greatest charms of the game, and one which really good players would he loath to have eliminated. Mr. Foster goes on to say that the game is well received in Europe, and has gained many converts among the officers of the British expeditionary i force,. In, France. Not Ion since, ao It Nos. 300. 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 324, $3.75 will be advanced to . JNOS. tOfo, 508, 522' and 523 , $5.00 will be advanced to . . . Is asserted, he received a letter marked "On His Majesty's Service, Somewhere In France," acknowledging the re ceipt of one of his books and expressing appreciation of the same. The letter read as follows: "We are all delighted with pirate here, and were getting along finely with the tailboard of a wagon for a card table Just outside our dugout, when we found it necessary to leave the cards as they were and go inside to consult the book as to whether a player could change his own bid after it had been accepted. While we were inside a shell exploded within a few feet of our card table and we have not been able to find as much as a squeezer mark of that pack of cards since. As no one will lend us a pack of cards, our game is postponed until some thoughtful person puts a couple of pack into one of those marvelous assortments of knitted goods that we get from the good people at home." The paper publishing the letter adds the following comment: "Not a word about the marvelous escape of the four who had Just left the card table! It really looks as if those men at the front thought as little of an explod ing shell as we do of the backfiring of an automobile." m It is surprising how few players un derstand the real meaning or object of "the overcall" and are constantly using It in the wrong way. one's partner when there has been no Intervening bid.- When there is an intervening bid, your bid, if you make one, does . not . constitute an overcall. If your partner having made a suit bid. you make the overcall with a bid of higher valuation, you do not neces sarily say that you have no help for your partner at his bid. but that, your bid being standard, you want to play the hand at the higher valuation. When you overcall with a lower suit you say no help for your partner at his bid and a legitimate bid of your own. perhaps four honors in the suit. Such bid is known as a backward bid, and as no one adopts a backward pol icy in any phase of life save for en forced or economic reasons, it serves always as a warning of danger. The overcall of your partner's "no trump" bid with diamonds or clubs says a non-assisting no-trump hand, but six or more of the suit with or without high cards, at at least five to an honor. The overcall with spades or hearts does not necessarily say a non-assisting no-trump hand, but at least five of the suit to an honor, or six or more even without an honor. As it shows numerical strengin. n gives your partner, the no-trump de clarer, the opportunity to choose be tween the suit and no trump. Espe cially if his no-trutnper is a light one. he often finds It better to leave you at your bid. which requires but one trick more at love score than the no trump to go game. The following is a good illustration of the folly of making the overcall save under conditions as described: f Q J9 7 3 2 A K Q a a Q J 3 10 8 6 . A 6 4 ?

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN BY HER HAIR There is real common sense in Just noticing whether the hair is well kept to Judge of a woman's neatness, or good taste. If you are one of the few who try to make the most oC your hair, remember that it' is not advisable to wash the hair with any cleanser made for all purposes, but always use some good preparation made expressly for shampooing. You can enjoy the very best by getting some canthrox from your druggist, dis solve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of sham poo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of Just the top of the head. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely diseppear. Your hair will be so fluffy that It will look much heavier than It is Its lustre and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which. Insures hair growth. Adv.
