Mrs Lee Eekerts paper on Rosa Bon

The reason for her adopting masculine al
tire. which was that the loose blouse was
the most convenient garment she could
wear when painting amongst the aniua,s

her exhaustive study Of and intense love
for all animal life. and her extravaCant
admiration for the red men that She saw

sirable point where the ladies, most of
| them, feel free to enter into these discus
| sicns, and the result is some warm and
| interesting ones. The meetings of the club
have been Of unusual interest this year,
| perhaps owing TO their pleasant surround
! lngs. The different clubs Of the town
have been very fortunate in having a
beautiful club room fitted up and dedi-
Gated to their use, furnished complete with
| comfortable chairs, library tables, hand
some rug on the floor and rich draperies
| at the windows. They now have a club
nome of which they are proud, and TO
which they can invite their friends with
| pleasure. The Sigourneans believe in ex-
| pansion and have increased their member
snip TO fifty, Of whom the following are
| the officers:
President-Mrs. Mary T. McGarrah
First vice president-Mrs. Mamie A
Hogue.
Second vice president-Mrs. Jennie Divil-

Mrs. Carriers Recipe for Boston Baked
Beans
Al Hypatia's impromptu luncheon for
Home Department day, Mrs. Carter's
baked beans proved such a revelation as
to the possibilities Of that Boston delicacy
that she was besieged with requests for
her method, which is given in this column
for the benefit Of al interested:
REAL BOSTON BAKED BEANS.
Two full quarts navy beans.
One pound picked side-pork
Two large spoonfuls New Orleans
molasses.
One-quarter teaspoonful bi-carbonate
soda.
One-half teaspoonful ground pepper.
One-half teaspoonful salt.
Discard all beans that are not whole
and perfect. Soak in cold water twenty
hours. Turn water off and wash thor
ough-y. Put in earthen bean-pot which
holds FIVE quarts. and is small at bottom
and top. Put pork in boiling water five
minutes; scrape rind, then slice Gust
through the rind) in narrow strips. Put
pork in beans, leaving rind just visible.
Put molasses, soda, pepper and salt on
top Of pork and fill pot nearly full of boil
ing water. Put in hot oven for two hours,
when you can reduce heat and let them
cook slowly ten more hours, adding boil
ing water occasionally so you can see
the water. Do not add water the last
two hours. In serving, remove dry beans
from top, take out pork, then turn
out mot dra " out with a SDoOnl beans in
a large platter. putting the pork on one
side. The beans should be whole, tender
red and juicy. Lemon juice is preferable
to vinegar as a dressing. Do not think
you can have the genuine Boston baked
beans without baking them from twelve to
fifteen hours
