Potatoes for n Week.

On Sunday have them mashed-not
pounded into a sodden mass, but
whisked into a creamy substance.
To attain this they should be peeled,
steamed, broken with potato whip,
moistened with milk and butter, sea-
soled with salt and pepper and
beaten like . batter until they are
very light.
On Monday bake them in their
skins. They should be washed clean,
baked in a good oven and served at
once.
For Tuesday they may be peeled
and baked with a roast. When the
meat is within half an hour or so of
being ready lay them in the gravy
under it and bake until they are COW
cred with crisp, brown skin.
On Wednesday serve them in Ken
lucky style. These are sliced thin as
for frying, soaked in cold water for
half an hour, put in pudding dish
with salt, pepper and milk and baked
for one hour.
On Thursday serve them fried
whole. Peel and boil them. Roll in
beaten egg, then in cracker crumbs
and fry in butter.
On Friday have potatoes n la Paris
ienne. Wash and rub them with n
coarse cloth until they are skinned,
drop into boiling water and boil until
done. Have ready in saucepan
some hot cream and butter, little
green parsley, pepper and salt. Pour
the water off the boiled potatoes,
cover with this and let it stand
On Saturday boil the potatoes with
their skins on and serve with butter.

A Japanese Girl student.

Radcliffe college, formerly Harvard
annex, has among its undergraduates
this year the first japanese girl who
has come to this country for an educa-
ton. She is Miss Shid- Mort, and she
is described as a charming com bina-
ton of Japanese features, English
dress, American couture, and Jap
anese-Anglo language. She had been
at Radcliffe since the beginning of
the mid wiRt.er term, but she had been
keeping shyly out of sight until one
night, when there was an entertain
ment given by DIR. Sargent's school.
Then the shy little japanese maid
came forth and gave Juggling ex-
hibition with as much ease as if she
were on a New York variety atage in
stead of pursuing q classical educa-
tion in Cambridge. Since that time
she has been very much the fashion.
Miss Morris home is in Yanagawa,
Kiushu, Japan, where her father is a
wealthy banker. He was converted
to Christianity long ago, and his four
sons and two daughters were educated
in tie Christian faith. Miss Shid is
now qualifying herself to return to
JapnE' 5 missionary of the highest
order. After she has studied here a
year or two she will go TO London and
Paris, after which she thinks she will
be prepared TO return to her home and
convert her people. She is considered
very bright and extremely we'll fitted
for college work by the professors at
Radcliffe, but she herself thinks she
is painfully backward for her age.
She is nearly 20 years old and was
much surprised to hear that that is
considered youthful age at Cam

Tests OF Good Silk.

The woman who buys a silk dress
only once in n decade can lilly afford
to find that she has chosen q poor
piece-one thnt cuts or tears or trays
or wears shiny or greasy looking.
Costliness is no guarantee of worth.
1t will be worth the small outlay,
says Harper's Bazaar, TO buy an eighth
of a yard and test it in the leisure OF
your home. The first thing to do is
TO try and tear it, both lengthwise
and crosswise. If it gives wa? readily
in either direction, be sure either that
the dye has destroyed the strength,
or that the thread is composed in part
of what is technically known as silk
waste. Pure silk, properly dyed, is the
strongest known fiber. Nearly all the
cheaper dyes, particularly the dark
and black ones, have a basis of me-
talllc salts that eat into and weaken
what they color. Next test the firm
ness of weave by scraping diagonally
across the fabric with the thumb nail
If it is durable and worth buying the
threads will not slip for any amount
of manipulation. Otherwise the
thumb nail will soon make n space of
loose threads as big as itself. After
that ravel out bit of the silk, and
look carefully at the quality of both
warp and wool. Sometimes a pure
silk warp has heavily loaded wool.
At others, especially in satin weaves,
SO much of the wool as comes on the
surface is of pure silk, with inferior
backing. The pure silk unloaded, is
of lively lustre and very soft to the
touch. II the lustre has been arti-
ficially produced the fiber feels harsh
and brittle. If it is silk, but loaded
with metallic die, the fiber looks like
cotton but is somewhat softer.
Another test of quality is to pull out
threads both ways and try their
strength between your fingers. That
is, catch them with both hands about
an inch apart, give a quick, outward
jerk, and note the force necessary to
break them. Then try to tear the
silk along the lines that the threads
came out of. If it parts so difficulty
that there are Fuckers along the tear,
II is proof that it will wear decently
well. The supreme test of all, though,
for either weighing or adulteration of
fiber, is TO burn n fragment of the
stuff, and also some Rawlings of it. If
it is pure and properly dyed it will
take fire with difficulty, even when
held directly in flame. 1t will go ont
almost as soon as the flame is with
drawn, leaving ashes that are nearly
Jet black. On the other hand,
weighted silk is almost dangerously
infammable. 1t takes fire readily,
and once burning will smolder
through the piece, leaving ashes that
keep the shape of the cloth and are of
light yellowish-red color. If there is
cotton mixed with the fiber the smell
of the smoke will betray it.

frame for Four photographs.

This is very pretty way of display
ing four photographs; it may easily
be modified so as to hold larger or a
smaller number, and the frames may,
if preferred, be cut square, or round,
or oval, or shield-shaped. A sheet OF
very stout cardboard is needed for the
front, and n piece of rather thinner
make for the back, In the thick
sheet cut four oval spaces These
may give some trouble to the amateur,
so it is as we'll, perhaps, to get pro-
fessional mount cutter to arrange
this, as he has the means of planning
them accurately and spacing them
properly.
The second and thinner sEtet of
cardboard should be cut exactly the
same shape and size as the thick piece,
but it need have no openings. Before
covering the front of the frame, take
brush filed with gold paint and
color the edge of the oval openings
with it. Then lightly gum the card,
lay sheet of wadding over it and
cover this place with a piece of bro
cade. Press this down well, especially
round the openings, but carry the
outer edges of the material over to
the wrong side of the cardboard and
gum them down we'll there. When
the gum is dry cut away the brocade
and the wadding from above the
openings.
Take next some colored ribbon about
an inch wide, and lay a length be-
tween each of the openings for the
photogra phs and hold it down with an
invisible stitch placed here and there.
The edge of the openings must now
be finished with line of narrow gold
gimp, which can most easily be Sc
cured with very little glue, care be-
ing taken that this does not run be-
yond the edges. A bow of ribbon
should now be placed at the top and
bottom. the upper one of the two
having n loop added to it by which
the frame can be hung up.
lThe outer edge of the frame is
finished off in very pretty and novel
style. Procure some large crystal
beads and n quantity of pins with
colored glass heads, such as are used
in making macrame lace. Pass pin
through each head and then stick it
into the edge of the frame. Allow a
space equal to the width of bead
between each one, md vary the
colors according to fancy and accord
ing to the prevailing tint of the
brocade.
The next thing to do is to fix the
photographs at the opening made
for them. A touch of gum at the
corners will be all-sufiicient to hold
them, and care must be taken to
place them quite evenly and straight
upon the card. Now cover the thin
ner piece of card which has been re-
served for the back and hold it with a
few stitches taken through the edges
here and there, at intervals of an
inch or two all round.
