How to Wash the Baby

As rule babies should te washed by hand. Machine washed babies do not mature so rapidly, and being rub. bed on washboard is likely to wear holes in the baby The baby should be put to soak over night in lukewarm water in which has been dissolved a handful of soap powder. This takes the place of the old-fashioned way of leaving him in a washboiler on the stove for three or four hours, and saves much labor. In the morning, after rinsing i'll three waters, add little ball blue to the last and pass the baby quickly through it. Too much blueing is "pt to give the baby a faded look. We do not think that babies should be put through the wringer too soon after washing. Bet ter results are obtained by hanging them on the line at once, if it be a sunny day. Otherwise they may be hung up before the kitchen fire, and, when thoroughly dry, starched and ir0ned at your .venience.

TO COOK SWEET POTATOES,
The Southern Way and the Delicious
 Result That It Produces.


 I see that there is to be an exeep tionally large crop of sweet potatoes this year." observed the southerner in the party, and I am sure that the news would be much more thrilling to New Workers if they knew the proper way to prepare the vegetable Now, fatter myself that l do know, for the sweet potato is an appreciated vege- table in the south and the manner of cooking it has not been carelessly con sidered. The potatoes should be peel- ed and boiled until they are thorough. ly but not too we'll cooked. Then they should be cut into four pieces length wise and placed in a tin baking pan. Butter and sugar should be placed over the potatoes abundantly before they are put into the oven to bake slowly. After while the butter and sugar mingling with the juice of the pota- toes form a delicate crust that should be cooked until it has reached the point at which it is candy. Under this crust is thick, rich syrup of the sap of the potatoes, sugar and butter. Any. body who has eaten sweet potatoes ln this way will never be satisfied with any other way of cooking them. The fire must De slow, and the cooking must continue until the sugar and but ter on top of the potatoes have formed a crust. It is this unWillingness to cook things long enough that inter feres with the success of many New York dishes. Take boiled ham, for instance. Few of the boiled hams iri New York are cooked. They are gen. orally more or less raw in the center, merely because nobody is willing to take the necessary time to have them thoroughly boiled.
 "The old rule, and the one that is followed in the south today, is to boil ham one-half hour for every pound Thus ten-pound ham ought to be allowed to boil for five hours, and in that way the meat will be kept firm. dry and sweet throughout, instead of raw and wet in the center and cooked until t is as G3.y as bone at the ends, New York Sun.

LONG STOCKINGS DOOMED.
Women Initiating Men Now in the
 Wearing of Socks.

Women Initiating Men Now in tho
 Wearing of Socks.
 While men have been grappling with the shirt waist question women have been quietly seeking emancipa- tion from long stockng The re- suit is that next season the extended sock, which will reach just below the knee, will probably be in vogue Thus there will be a fair exchange the mans sock fos the woman's shirt waist. Already the alert hosiers have planned the extended sock. This win be 19 inches long, and it's ribbed top, exactly like that of the mans short sock, will, in cases more or less num- erous. obyiate the necessity of wear ing garterS. Many women last sum- mer who were not sufficiently courage ous to adopt the sock outright looped the long stocking in folds and gar- tered it just below the kuee. While this gave a measure of coolness it was nOe artistic, and plainly is doomed to give way to the new extended sock.
 An official report from Consul Mar shall Halstead at Brmingha 7 to t'e state department has just bro, ght to light the fact that American women find it impossible to buy desirable stockings in England The usual American stocking is 2S inches long, with small ankle and trim foot. The English stocking is 24 inches long, with shapeless ankle and clumsy foot.
