ahould be of the aame ahade or a little
lighter. A frleae of paper in colore
; which wlU harmonise will help greatly.
But be careful if the room la already

for auch a purpose are aome of them

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.

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.

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.

models. 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.

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. Collara ara every bit as high aa they

Chinese Version of It.
a FRENCH officer, Louis de Chantll-
ly, tells of his discovery in a
Buddhist convent in the mountains
of Tonkin of a dusty manuscript con
taining the Chinese version of the seven
ages of man.
"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.
He has (Only one care to husband the
breath of life that Is left to him. to
preserve it, even by artificial means.
His sons must assume the care of his

larger man usual, out mere is no doubt
that the total for the year runs over a
hundred million dollars, and all tha re

Parental Egotism.
T Is being with our children and be
ing what we wish them to be that
brings the best results in tha way
Of lasting discipline. If we wish our
children to tell the truth, be strictly
honest, we must have the courage to
live sincere lives. 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.

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

in its effect, and, besides, although ft

are apt, therefore, to neglect this Im

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

may be more easily cleaned, but unless
they ara tacked down the little feet

a rag carpet ia about as valuable a

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.

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
