A Quotation PARTY.

A quotation party is an entertaining

and at the same time proves fair test

fortunate contestant, and the game is
really helpful and improving, as we'll

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Gelatin Desserts Favored With Fruits.
Use Fer Unripe Melons-Making
Damson Plum Jam.

There are few more acceptable sum-
mer desserts than clear, we'll nodded jel-
lies daintily favored with wine or
fruits. These jellies are easily made
with the assistance of the always ready
| gelatin When making jellies, use the
best qualities of gelatin and be accu-
rate in measurements of the liquids for
the amount of gelatin used, for when
jelly comes to be served and is in a
semiliquid condition Or is as tough as
rubber it is not dish to be desired.
The most acceptable jellies are made
with the plain gelatins, and favors
added to suit the taste, says writer in
the New York Sun, who adds some
helpful hints concerning favorings:
There are certain favorings that go
exceedingly we'll together, making a
pleasing combination, as lemon peel and
vanilla, chocolate and vanilla, CHINA
mon with lemon juice and sherry, va
nilla and rum, orange and curacao. To
plain wine jelly small amount of
good brandy is frequently added to give
it an edge, and by many a dash of
brandy in jelly favored with coffee is
regarded great improvement.
Fresh fruit juices strained make de-
licious favorings for jellies, and fruits
cut into convenient sized pieces and
nodded in a clear jelly make an at
tractive looking as well as delicious
dish. Candied violets and rose leaves
are also nodded in clear jellies, as we'll
as the fresh roses, pansies and orange
flowers, for a novelty, and the dish this
flower jelly is served upon is ornament
ed with the same blossoms This is fire.
quently done for luncheon, when the
same flower and color decorations are
carried out through the meal. Molds in
which jelly is to be formed should be
filed with cold water and left to stand
until ready to be refilIed with the liquid
jelly. When the jelly is to be served,
take the point of knife and loosen the
edges from the mold, place the serving
dish over the mold and turn the two
dishes over together. Let them stand
a few moments before lifting the mold
from the jelly, which should be left
perfect in form upon the serving dish.
A boiled custard or sweetened and
favored cream is served with jellies.
The cream may be whipped and heaped
around the mound of jelly 1t requires
less cream to serve jelly in this way.
When you have no molds for jelly, a
pretty way Of serving is to pour layer
of liquid in a square pan and let it
harden. With a sharp knife, wet in cold
water, cut the jelly into little square
pieces and heap them upon fiat glass
dish. With jelly nodded in ring mold
the space in the center should be filled
with fresh berries, sliced peaches, pine
apple Or cherries that have been in
sugar and little wine long enough to
penetrate the fruit

Damson Plum Jam.

A jam of excellent quality is made
of the pulp and juice of the damson
plums. Here is a recipe from the New
York Tribune for making it: Stem the
plums and weigh them. Allow three
quarters of pound of sugar to pound
of fruit. Mash the plums little and
cook them in porcelain lined kettle.
Add about a pint of water to peck of
plums if they do not seem to be juicy
enough without it. If it is possible,
however, avoid adding water and cook
the plums in their own juice, as any
water added must be afterward boiled
out and the more preserve is cooked
the more the fresh flavor is impaired.

OATS As HORSE FEED.

Horsemen generally have recogniz-
ed something in the oat grain for
horse feeding, taking it beyond the
ranks of other feeding materials-a
stimulus, perhaps, or it may be some
thing which gives a different or bet
ter nerve action. In 1916 Norton
claimed to have separated an albu-
menoid from the aoat grain, which is
called avenine. Samson of France an
nounced in 1888 that he had discover
ed an alkaloid in the oat that had a
stimulating effect on the motor nerve
of the horse Whether the chemist
will ever find a distinct stimulating
principle in the oat grain remains sfor
the future, but certain it is there
seems to be something Of the kind
present. This has found expression
in the phrase, "The oat grain turning
over in the horses stomach tickles
his ribs" With many horses the
driver can tell when the feed has
been changed from any other grain
to oats, or the reverse, by the spirit
Or mettle of the animal. Samson
found that crushing or grinding the
oats considerably weakened the ner-
vous influence of the grain, and
Storer concludes that air probably
works to the obstruction Of avenine.
This points in favor of feeding oats
whole.

A beautiful skirt was that pictured

TASKS OF MATCHING FOR THE
DRESSMAKER.

The brilliant and handsome trim
mings of finely plaided velvet that so
many women wore a season or two
ago are now all gone by, and a plaid
velvet bodive today is Enthusiastically
a hold-over. But plaids are still found
in dress goods. plaids whose shades are
dull and whose squares are huge. 1t
was one of these fabriCs-their dispar-
ayers call 'em horse blanket stuffs-
that was made up prettily in the dress
shown today Its jacket bodice had a
short basque edged with black velvet,
which also gave belt and edging of
fronts and revers. The vest was
white satin, slightly bloused. and was
gathered to the stock collar and in the
waist. a jabot of the white satin
completed it. Plaid velvet is occa-
siOnally used in hat trimmings, but it
needs to be placed by skillful hand
and it would not be a wise accompani-
ment of a plaid dress. So the velvet
of this hat was black. and it's trim
mings We're satin backed velvet ribbon,
plumes, aigrettes and paste buttons.
Though to mention it seems like help
ing to spread bad taste in millinery,
yet it is noticeable that very elaborate
hats are being worn on the street with
the simplest tailormade costumes.

the idea of being inconspicuous and
quiet. They stick to this idea in much
occurrences all around the whole hat
Then all of a sudden there is a bust
of feathers not even uprising at what
might be considered an ordinary an
gle but set out on a tangent that seems
to threaten the immediate explosion of
the entire hat, for how, unless young
dynamite engine be concealed inside
the little hat, could bunch of fathers
be shot out of it so Unexpectedly. But
sensible hats are to be had, and
should persevere in searching out a be-
coming one, rather than be misguided
into selecting some monstrosity.
A pretty brown velvet hat is sketch
ed herewith, and was trimmed with
velvet ribbon, black feathers and white
and pink velvet roses. 1t seemed par
ticularly tasteful because it harmonic
ed so nicely with the remainder of the
costume. That was in a wood brown
novelty suiting sprinkled with a shay
gy black figure. Around the skirts
hem was a bias fold of white velvet
embroidered with jet beads and SINH
lar velvet edged with the Jackets
basque, yoke and full vest of golden
brown velvet. The plain velvet belt
was tied in an upright bow and collar
had embroidered points.
Though good taste dominated this
picture hat, there's many a freak in
velvet headgear. You'll see them
shrOuded in lace brims, and the brims
are laden with flowers. Hats with
wide brims are turned up at the back,
then set over the nose and trimmed so
brilliantly that the effect is that of
cranberry pie landslide. No matter
what else is on hat a beautiful wav-
ing spray of paradise plumes only adds
perfection, and these feathers are
shown in the brightest greens and yell
lows.
