A great many cookbooks order all
fresh vegetables to be placed in an
abundance of boiling water and cooked
slowly for n considerable time. Many
vegetables are ruined by being cooked
in this way. Potatoes, asparagus, peas
and cauliflower should be boiled in q
small amount of water and cooked
steadily but slowly. Overlooking will
make all of these vegetables tasteless.
Do not salt any of them until they are
half done.
The best way to cook beets is in cold
water. Wash them well, being careful
not to puncture them or break off the
tops. Put in saucepan, cover with
water, add handful of salt and two
tablespoofuls Of vinegar. Let them
boil rapidly for an hour and ten min
utes. If old beets, cook an hour longer.
Lift one by one into cold water, peel
and return to the water in which they
were boiled If they are to be cooled.
Carrots should be scraped and
washed, cut in slices half an inch
thick and cook in salted water for
thirty minutes. Serve in cream
sauce. String beans should be boiled
slowly for two hours.

Spain Has Cash and ViCor,

Spain recently asked for loan of
some $50, 100000 at four per cent, and
four times the amount has been sub
scribed in the country 1t will be re-
called that the Spanish people sur
prised the world with taking up the
war loans, showing that while Spain is
poor, she still has money put away
and that it is at the disposition of the
Government. In some sections of the
country the peasant laborers are
crushed down by the agents of the rich
land owners, and in other places strikes
among operatives in the factories are
common. Therefore it is all the more
admirable that the people, as whole,
should be in possession of so much
good cash. Spain will always be the
land of the unexpected; the Spanish
nation has been demonstrated to be
unconquerable by an invader; it has an
ideal of life very different from that
of other European peoples, and probably
has more true happiness every day in
the year. Spain is country being
kept for great role in the future. The
people are virile and unspoiled; they
mold strategical situation on the map
of Europe, and we may consider them
to be waiting the call of high des.

All sorts of pleatings are modish.
Inlaid tucking looks rather well on
silk.
Old blue is shade that seems to be
gaining popularity.
Deep turn-back cuffs of heavy lace
adorn evening cloaks.
The mercerizing process has made
common dresses handsomer.
Coarse open linen weaves do not
necessarily become shapeless.
Already We hear of changing sleeve
fullness to above the elbow.
Gowns Of gray cheviot, with white
reliefs, are especially smart.
Inlets of pleated lace or net give
fullness to some long dress cloaks.
White pearl buttons fasten the
blouses and skirts of some bicycle
suits.
White grenadine, trimmed with pink
panne, makes an effective afternoon
gown.
Platform hats that take a sudden
drop in the back are very becoming to
some faces.
As stocks become depleted it is more
and more trouble to match large and
small lace figures.
Dutch necks are more becoming to
some than are the round shapes that
come just to the base of the neck.
Some of the new tucked shirt waists
have French knots embroidered on
them in black, thus giving a pretty
contrast.
Lace medallions caught together with
narrow ribbon velvet make a very
pretty trimming on gowns of light
woolen material.
Lace hip yokes give skirts modish
air and are very efficient in concealing
any piecing that may have been EN-.
ployed to lengthen the skirt.
Particularly effective are the accor-
dion pleated ruffs now so much worn.
They come in all colors, but those in
black and white are preferred.
Every complete wardrobe must have
a long coat. They are made with full
effect and are apparently shapeless,
although much attention has been paid
to getting this effect.
Ostrich feather boas are seen again,
some in the old, round shape, but the
smartest ones are in wide, fat stoles.
When boas are worn it is always bet
ter taste to have them the same color
as the gown.

Aesthetic dress always seems to be
suitable to little children. They have
taken kindly to the Russian blouse.
Sometimes the waist line is ignored
altogether, and the garment falls from
the shoulders to the feet in an un-
broken line from pretty yoke or
collar. Boys waists seem to be given
longer length than girls. Of course in
their tender youth. Flowered muslin.
delaines and challis make pretty little
frocks for girls, with yokes and frill-
ings round the hem. A novel idea is a
yoke piece from the waist shocked;
this being elastic, it adheres nicely to
the figure. For wearing with the first
breeches there is a curious little gar
ment, which is slipped over the head,
and has no fastening at all; it is set
in a yoke and box pleated, the ma
terial being allowed to fall as it will
from the shoulders; the sleeves are
slashed on the outside Of the arms,
and show under white ones. apparently
part Of the yoke. Sometimes it is
made to button down the back.

VEGETABLE MIMICRY.
Stnpelia and Other Flowers That Have
Fetid OdOrs.

Stnpelia and Other Flowers That Have
Fetid Odors.
Quite a number of flowers have dis
tinctly mimetic odors. 1t can hardly
be doubted. for example, that the Of
fensive smell of the carrion flowers
stapelia, Aristolochia, arum, rafflesia
and others is more effective in promot-
ing cross fertilization because of its
resemblance to the odor of putrid meat.
So completely are the flesh flies de-
ceved that they often deposit their
eggs on the petals of carrion flowers.
Fetid odOrs occur in byrOnia, hello
borus, geranium, stachys, ballota, iris
and other genera. The odor of others
have a curious resemblance to the
smells emitted by certain animals.
Hypericum hirinum and orchis hircina
are bad-smelling flowers with an odor
resembling that of the goat; corian-
drum sativum has the fetid smell Of
bugs, while the hemlock. again, emits
strong odor of mice. Along with
these may be mentioned adoxa, the
musk orchis, the grape hyacinth and
JULIET -SCtuleu uOWeTS.
The resemblance in smell between
these flowers and the secretion formed
In the scent glands of the musk OK
and other animals is, to say the least,
b remarkable coincidence. Possibly
flies which accompany cattle may be
attracted by smells of this description.
Very curious also is the vinous smell
of oenanthe, and the brandy like aroma
of the yellow water lily nuphar. hence
called the brandy bottle. Etheral oils
exhaled by plants, while attractive to
some animals, seem to repel others
the scents of sweet-smelling flowers,
such as daphne, thymus. marjoram,
melllotus and gymnademia. though
grateful to bees and butterflies, appear
to be distasteful to ruminants. Kerner
states that in general the latter avoid
all blossoms; even the caterpillars do
not readily attack the petals of their
food plants. Odor may therefore be
protective or attractive or it may be
of use in both ways. The same remark
applies to color, which may serve
either TO attract or repel; the richly
variegated leaves of the Indian nettles
species of coleus-and the tinted
foliage of begonia and geranium may
possibly escape injury on account of
the general resemblance to colored
blossoms. Instances in which one
plant resembles another in smell are
not very common in the Towering
class, though cases do occur like the
garlic mustard and apple e-scented
saliva. Resembling odors are much
more frequent among fungi-Knowl.

Silk Gloves Embroidered.


Embroidered silk gloves are one Of
the dainty eXtrayagances of the sea-
son, the vogue for embroideries in
fabrics having reached handwear. The
embroidered gloves have tiny pansies,
daisies, violets or forget-me-nots en-
broidered in section two inches wide
around the wrist. They are executed
either in the natural colors or in the
exact shade of the glove. the latter
style being undoubtedly destined to
greater popularity. In better grades
the embroidery extends to the back
of the hand. where it occupies the
place Of the usual points.
In the elbow gloves for evening wear,
where the embroidery is most appro-
pirate and beautiful, it is found both
on the backs of the hands and in q
section four inches wide around the
wrist. Half way up the arm there is
also a four-inch semi-transpapent, clip
tical medallion, also embroidered.
These gloves have double-tipped fin
gers, unusual in long silk gloves, and
are shown in black, pearl. white, mode
and light gray.
