THE NEW WOMAN.

New Workers are using cooked BAN
anas more and more. One of the IA
fous specialties Of the Manhattan Club
is fried bananas; they fry them there
as doughnuts are fried, by dropping
them into vessel of boiling fat. They
are excellent, treated In this way, but
the method Is troublesome and expen-
sive. Baked bananas are much easier
obtained. and are really better than
any other form of the cooked fruit.
Just the wrong way to bake them is
frequently followed; that is. they are
taken out of the skins; then 1t Is neces-
sary to put wine or lemon and sugar
on them to give them flavor, but II
they are baked In their jackets they
have delightful acid Of their own, and
eaten with cream and sugar are de-
licous dish and are very nourishing
The fruit should be we'll ripened and
the oven fairly hot. Ten or twelve
minutes will usually suffice to cook
them. They should be softened all
through when done.

Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart is as good
a story teller in talk as she Is on paper. |
A woman said the other day In speak |
ing Of her: II ate my dinner at the |
same table with her every day for
year at one time since she has been in |
New York and the way she told funny |
stories continually, and never once re-
peated herself, was simply one of the
most marvellous things I ever knew of.
Her stories were always good, too. She
has sense Of humor that Is Joy for
ever"
New York fashionable women don't
follow any strict fashion about their

most ornamental pillow.
