KJcrBd:Er&CLut Good Recipen. OR One Pie Inexperienced house keepers often find it annoying to top and divide up, or reduce re cipes where the proportions are given in large quantities. So tor these folk I preaent my recipe, with exact quanti ties of materials to make the crust for one pie. Take three quartera of a pint of pas try flour, half a teaapoonful of baking powder, ona half teaspoonful of salt; sift these twice; then rub in three large tablespoonfuls of sweet lard; when well blended, moisten with ice water, only sufficient to roll out. Do not make pie crust soft or wet; If you do it will be hard and tough, and not flaky, as It should be. This must be rolled thin, and is ample for an under and upper crust. Sweet Potato Pineapple Boll and scraps alx medlum-alzed aweet potatoes; mush, adding one large tablespoon but ter, one tablespoon light brown sugar, two tablespoons thin cream, or rich milk, one good pinch grated nutmeg, two ahakea red pepper. Mold Into ahape of pineapple; with sharp pointed tea spoon make little depressions about it, and In each put a tiny bit of butter. Place on buttered pan in hot oven. When the butter bits have made light brown specks like the eyes In real pine apples, remove from oven, put green sprig in top and serve. Individual pine apples are as pretty as can be. Home-Made Marshmallows Delicious home-made marahmallowa are made as follows: One package prepared gelatin, four coups granulated sugar, dissolve the sugar In 12 tablespoonfuls cold wa ter and boil until it strings, pour onto the gelatin that haa been moistened with 16 tablespoonfuls cold water and beat vigorously until stiff. Flavor with vanilla and pour on butter tins. Cut Into squares when cold, with a heated knife, and turn In powdered sugar mixed with a little cornstarch. Coat theae by dipping In melted chocolate, without turning in powdered sugar. Oatmeal Bread Two cups of oatmeal, one half cup of light brown sugar, one half cuj of New Orleans molasses, two teaspoons salt, onto tnis put two cuds of boiling water. When cool add one compreaaed yeast dissolved In a little lukewarm water, one cup of seeded rais ins (nourea). three cups or wheat flour mix well. Let rise over night. In the morning add just enough wheat flour to collect together: do not make too stiff. Make into two loaves; put in pans. Let rise until light. Bake In moderate oven about 45 minutes. st st st The Making of Croquettes. By Fannie Merltt Farmer. ANY young housekeepers have not definite knowledge of what la meant by egg and crumbing, and for this very reason never attempt the making of croquettes. Use for the crumbing of croquettes bread crumbs, by which I mean crumbs made from stale bread which haa been thoroughly dried In the oven, then rolled and sifted through a strainer. There is an in genlous machine on the market which does this work, but as it is compara tively expensive it does not find its way into the average household. An egg when used for "egging" should be broken into a shallow plate, beaten with roric co Diena tne yoia ana wnite. then diluted with two tablespoonfuls of cold water The crumbs should be taken on a board, the croquettes should be shaped and rolled in crumbs, care being taken that all parts are covered with crumbs, then dipped in egg mix ture (taking equal care to cover all parts), then rolled in crumbs ago In. After the last crumbing, remove food to a place on the board where there are no crumbs, and shake off aome of the outer ones which make the coating too thick. A Teller knife (which has a broad blade and a short handle) is a most convenient utensil for lifting food u ds crumoea rrom egg mixture. The orincfcle of frvlnar croouettea is something, too, that needs to be under- Is of the right temperature for frying any cooked mixture like croquettea: When, the fat begins to amnke, drop in an inch cube of bread, cut rrom. tne aoft part of the loaf, and If In 40 sec onds It is a golden brown the fat is of the right temperature. st st st For the Gas Stove Season. O you find your gas stove a real economlser? If not, these may be some of the reasons: Lighting burners before you are ready to use them. Baking but one thing at a time. Heating water or cooking in uncov ered vessels. Placing small vessels upon large burners. lining large burners when small ones would do. Not turning out the flame before re moving food. Not lowering the names when food la already boiling. H a The Sunday Menu. BREAKFAST. Oranges. Sweetbreads With Mushrooms. Muffins. Coffee. DINNER. Cream of Celery Soup. Boiled Salmon E Bauce.

The very notioeaoie .xeature was strappings of silk and silk-covered buttons. Ona skirt of chiffon Panama had .17 gores with taffeta banda one quarter inch wide atltched In four groups of i or 10, from tha hem to the knees. Another ona had graduated bands from a quarter Inch to two or more inches. One beautiful brown voi.e skirt waa trimmed with two rows of banda in about tha aama place aa they have baen put this winter. At tha aide gores tha strapplnga were run upward and pointed at tha anda, while between them were cross straps hn- lahed with buttons. Ona of the prettiest and most fash ionable or rail is tne wearing or even Ing cloaks or capes to dinners and even ing affairs. The dressiest of these are made of white broadcloth, aatln, soft serse or flannel and lined with a soft color. Those of a delicate tint, such as pale violet, green, pink or blue and fawn color are lined with a rich bro cade or aatln In a contrasting color. The style Is long, loose and straight and the bottom may be cut square, pointed or rounded. The sleeves may be ot the Chinese fashion or gathered into a big puff at the wrist Tansels, buttons and handsome embroideries are used for the trimmings. The facing la very elaborate and should be planned to match tha gown worn. 8a he are to be worn with all even ing gowna and thin frocks. They are very effective on empire gowns, some being caught through a large sliver buckle with tha ends falling to the hem of the gown, and other being mude bowa that are faatened Invisibly. Beau tiful flowered aashes are to be worn with light summer dresaea and lingerie party guwna and those of white satin are chosen for more elaborate occa alona. This fashion will be accepted with much pleasure, for by having a number of aashes one gown can be changed wonderfully. The suit that will be most popular for spring and summer la the Prince Chap style, the coat cutaway in front and pointed in back. This is not a sharp point, by any means, but it Is a change from the square back and front. The 30-Inch length will be the favorite. The eklrt will, most generally, be plaited with one wide fold near the hem. A dark blue chiffon broadcloth was made by this model, trimmed with black toutache and buttons, in two sixes. The coat was bound with the braid, which was about an inch wide. The buttons were oval. In light cream color, and were twice croasd by a band of gold and of blue that matched the broad cloth.

They are very elaborate In most cases, for the beauty of a gown centers chiefly in the stock. The finest and most beautiful lace Is used and hand-embroidery Is charming ana novel. Sometimes this embroidery is done in colors of various tones that are seen In the gown. Others snow tiny rosebuds in raised embroidery, with a sparkling bead In the center of each. Tiny black bows caught In gilt or silver buckles gives a touch of color, and are noticed on many stocks and gulmpes. The colors that are shown for spring are all charming because so many of them suggest the colors seen out of doors at that time of year. Tha blues are pretty and doubtless will be worn a great deal. Cell blue and blu ette and lotus blue are rather new shades and will be used in abundance. The Alice blue has revived again and this brings into prominence the gray blues. The navy blue will ever ba worn and it is very attractive when brightened with baby blue. The At lantic blue, vivid and bright ia charm ing and becoming.

"At 10 years old," says the writer, whose name has long been forgotten, "the boy has a heart and a brain as soft as the tender shoots of a young bamboo. "At 20 he is like a green banana; he is Just beginning to ripen In warm rays of common sense. "Thirty years sees him developed Into a buffalo. He is strong ana lusty, run of bodily and mental vigor. This is the true age of love tha age for him to marrv at. "At 40 years the prosperous man has grown to be a mandarin and weara a coral button. But it would be truly Indiscreet to confide to him at this early age any functions calling for Judicial intelligence or calm. "When he reaches 60 years, however, although he has grown stout and fleshy, he Is fit to hold any municipal or state office; he can administer a cltv or a province or perform any official duty. "But at 60 years he Is old. Handi crafts and all active bodily activities are beyond him. He gives hla depend ents and clients advice. That la all he Is fit for. "At 70 he is Just a dry rice straw.

The Insight of chil dren is of the keenest, they see beyond all dlBgulses, and there has never been a punishment invented that loada a child to reverence the truth as. much as having the actions and words of lta parents strictly honest. Then there is the question of selfish ness that is always coming up. Often where the sarents are the most un selfish the children will be supremely selfish. "Why is it?" you hear over and over Again. Now I think the causa of this is the want of cooperation in the burden-bearing. If fathers and mothers only could be made to under stand how young people love to tackle hard problems, love to put their young shoulders to tha wheel, and how it strengthens their character to do ao, they would not take all the self-denying upon themselves, and by so doing lay a atrong foundation of selfishness In the characters of their children. In cooperation with our children there is one thing that we must con-1 stantly watch out for and try to avoid- that'-is, parental egotism, reopie wno are the most considerate and unassum ing In every other relation are often tha moat cruel egotists where their children are concerned, forgetting that every child should live his life and no one else's. Parents are too apt to think as they have grown ia the only correct way, and so enace tneir cnuoren a orig inality, and that spirit that Ood sent Into the world to accomplish such great things la often a failure Tor tne want of cooperation along the right lines. st st st The Baby's Eyes. OW that so much attention Is paid to children's eya troubles, and even tiny tots are fitted wltn glasses, it is well for every mother- to look to the lighting of the room where the baby spends most of his time. If a room may be spared for the nuraery and dedicated to the child's exclusive use, hang, t ie windows with dainty muslin curtains, and provider either thick shades or curtains of denim, which may be drawn across the win dow when the child is sleeping, It is not necessary for the child to sleep fac ing a strong light. If the wlndewa cannot be sufficiently shaded, turn the bed or carriage so that tne eyea are shaded, or put an open umbrella over the child's head.' The 111 luck which attaches to the umbrella in the house is not ao much to be feared aa that the child's eyes may be affected. If the c-uid sleeps out of doors and this ia pocalb e for at least nine months out of t e year In thla climate the protection of the- eyea from sun- and wind Is equally Important. Veils are how considered pretty much Of a nuis ance for babies. Unless the weather is colder than we ordinarily have here, a veil is not necessary. The baby in variably sucks it and - makes a large wet, smudgy place,';which irrQates the delicate cheeks and chin. Unless the veil la whliv he -absorbs some un wholesome coloring; matter, and If the veil la spottel hla eyesight is sure to be tried, if not materially Injured. A newspaper pinned over the head of the carriage in which the baby taken his outdoor sleep will shield his face from wind. It is agreed that we have an unusually healthful climate in which to rear fine children, and the congenial out-of-door air la the best tonic and Invlgorator to be had. Give the babv plenty of it, nut see that his eyes and nls eara are protected. The colors in the nursery, to return to the Indoor question, are preferably light Dark woodwork is depressing in its effect, and, besides, although ft may not show dirt, it 'becomes dirty aa easily as light woodwork and makes lesa insistent claim U be cleaned. We are apt, therefore, to neglect this Im portant matter. Have the woodwork near the floor, that la within reach of his little ringers, painted rather than varnished, and wipe it off freauentlv with warm water and soap. It Is not alwaya easy to decide upon the cover ing of a nursery floor. Harneta ira warm, but are apt to grow dusty. Rugs may be more easily cleaned, but unless they ara tacked down the little feet will trip over them. Oilcloth is too cold, and ao la linoleum. On the whole, a rag carpet ia about as valuable a covering as any. It should nearly cover the room, or else the bare places will Invariably ba se'ected aa the A. slrable spots in which to sit by the utile person wnose comfort you are considering, lr rugs are used, let them be tacked at tha edges. A carpet that Is home-made may be easily taken up and cleaned, and this should be done frequently. We must not forget that the little tot Is at ai: times closer to the floor than the big people, and more apt to Inhale any dust or floating germs that may be lodged there. H st st Baby Talk. A GOOD way to give baby a powder la to mix It with a little finely powdered sugar. Put the mixture Into a white paper, such as the physi cian uaea and pour onto the back of the child's tongue. Most babies object to having their outdoor clothes put on. While baby Is being oressed get some one (one of the oiner enwaren wm ao; to nx the little one's attention on some plaything.
