even teaspoonfuls of baking powder. and
cne-half teaspoonful of vanilla. | use
vanilla by preference, but any other spice
or favoring could be substituted if better
liked.
Now. about the manipulation First OF
all, / roll out the dough very thin and cut
it in diamond-shaped pieces, which should
measure about four inches between the
opposite long ends.
Now. in the centre of each of these !
place a m~arshmanow. I fold the 0
points over it and press them together.
These are baked in the oven. As they
are served cold, they may be baked some
time before needed.
In baking the transformation takes
place which makes a basket ofyour work.
The marshnaallow will swell. of course,
under the heat. and round the joined
dough. IN cooling off it contracts again,
and after this contraction the dough VIII
be left like the handle of a, Wee basket.
Dough which is left over from the bas-
kets can be used TO make another little
| sweet biE-sugar fingers.
For these, break off pieces Of the dough
about the size of hickory nuts and roll
this into strips about four inches long,
scarcely as thick as the little finger. Roll
these in sugar and bake them. allowing
plenty of room for spreading. When done
they look much like lady fingers.
Every woman win enjoy praeticing up
these dainty sweets against the day when
woman friends drop in unexpectedly for
luncheon.
I have given the directions very fully.
Follow them carefully, and you can't fan
of something delicious.
When the season proper opens early
in December we shah see more of the
delicate tan, doe-color and biscuit cos
| tunes which were imported from Paris
a month ago, and are being reserved for
ceremonious occasions. These faint coli
ored cloths are made I'd with, as a rule,
a tunic of openwork back passenenterie.
In some cases this reaches half way to
the knees. On the chest it parts slightly
to show 6 narrow vest of peach-celored
silk trimmed with a good deal of soft
lace. The skirt beneath the tinsel is care
fully moulded to the figure, sweeping
full below the knees and remarkable for
the costly simplicity. Three tiny folds,
graduated, mark the hem. This tunic
is like a glittering coat of mail. Such a
toilet will never become common nor
commonplace. A ford imagination would
prefer to spend the money which might
purchase the Partisan elegance in two
more snowy toilets, OF Hyacinth blue,
hunters green, in the dark Venetian
red, or the delectable shades of plum.
But the jetted tunic over the fawn-
eolored cloth, with its touch of soft peach
color under the chin. is of the French,
Frenchy, a costume beautiful to look
upon and still more satisfactory to own.
Naturally 1t will not be hacked about at
November teas, football parties or the
informal festivities INDUCED in between
seasons.
At a recent pretty dinner the scheme Of
decoration in green and white was orig
inal with the hostess. She took a hand
some fern. covered the pot with white
crepe paper, tied it with white ribbons
and placed it in the centre of the table.
There were to be twelve covers, and al
each were arranged little ferns, secured
at an insignificant price, all the pots
covered with white crepe. paper and rib
bens like the centre piece. Mingled with
these were small, brilliant glass goblets,
holding olive oil and tapers like those
used in the Catholic churches. She is the
same little woman who decorates he1
sitting room with a score of glow lamps
in colors, little affairs in which the
smoke and odor of kerosene oil is con-
sumed in the burning. The ruby colored
lamps, prettier than any other color, are
expensive and uncommon. but there are
several other colors which can be used
with effect.
Thu girl who yearns after rosy cheeks
has just discovered that one of the meth
DDS OF securing the desired healthy glow
is to avoid the round garter. In place Of
the circle of elastic she now uses a smar
ribbed stocking that has not only an elias
tic top. but gathers snugly about the leg,
just above the knee, without injuriousiy
comprising. the flesh. into the top of
the stocking two ribbon ends are caught,
and these, when tied, have all the orna-
mental effect of the colored garter. with
out any Of its injurious results. Still ar
other hygienic contrivance for the wom-
an who IS fearful that constant use of the
round garter will bestow on her a red
nose in later life. Is an attachment for
making fast the top Of the stocking to
the bottom of the drawer leg. Two BUT
tons on the rawer and two loops on the
stockings make a neat attachment, AID
great comfort is thereby insured.

A porcelain sink is the ambition OF
every Clearly housekeeper. But it is the
wise suggestion Of an expert in such mat
ters that until she can provide careful
kitchen girls TO work at the sink the
housekeeper had better make a choice OF
a good galvanized iron outfit for the use
OF the priestess Of the dish-washing. A
marble-backed sink becomes. before very
long, an unsightly thing from spattering
of greasy dishwater. For the same rea-
son, namely. the want of care in use, fau-
Gets of FURNISHED brass are better thar
those of nickel-plate. unless the latter be
of very heavy quality.
An unique baby blanket is made Of
white broadcIoth embroidered in white
silk, in conventional designs. 1t is lined
with white surah and the edge finished
in exquisite white ribbon. Three baby
afghans seen recently were made Of white
eiderdown flannel. The size was thirty.
two inches by thirty-eight. One wax
lined with pink, another with light blu
and the third with lemon-colored silk. A
row of narrow embroidery dome in mar
row baby ribbon) to match the lining mad.
