Written for The Evening Star.
To dub the summer cottage the modest
home and the stately mansion with suitable
names has now become the custom in
America quite as il is in Europe. Indeed
there is a charm in having attached to
ones dwelling title suggestive and pleas
ing; one, too, which has the true ring of
personality.
Often our curiosity is piqued at the as
founding epithets with which some good
folk christened their habitatfons. Why,
for instance, has Mrs. Tom Young Of New
York called her beautiful summer home
"Donstable?' 1t is not family name,
nor is the word to be found in the dictfon-
ary The untangling of the mystery sim
ply reveals that the name is a joke of
Mrs GOung's own cracking. At the time
OF the building, and to her chagrin. the
stable was done so long in advance of
the house that for a while she lived In ii
and ate from manger. 1t was these rural
days which later Mrs. Young cOmmem-
GRATED in the name
Another interesting name of a country
place is "Hadderway," on Long Island a
place that belongs to the Attorney General
and Mrs. Gilchrist This name blows verify
the blast of triumph. 1t is a slight transpo-
sition of the family contest concerning the
building Of the place and in which Mrs.
GilchrtSt had her way"
Infinitely more interesting we find such
names than those that are hackneyed or
smack of sentimentality, Hillside" Belle

our minds in this connection. Nor is it

For E. p. Willis to call his drowsy place

and appropriate cOnceit; but the same

In country so old as England, and where
the land bears traces of Morse, Saxon and
Roman occupation, there have natural V
been preserved numbers Of munosyiIab ablrs
descriptive of various divisions of land
Thus, ,'Toft' means a grove Of trees on a
hill; Croft" an inclosure. "SIolm" desig-
mates fiat stretch of country near a
stream, and rigs applies to high ridges
of land. The meadows were originally di-
Vided off into "garths,' while for high
tower-lke rocks, the monosylable tor
retains its usage
1t can readily be seen how in combina-
tions these syllables became very valuable.
In this country today many of them are
employed.
"Maycroft'' is, perhaps as pretty as any
Of the names bestowed on the Long Island
homes. May is the petit nom Of its
owner, Mrs. Hermann Aldrich, and croft
is here well used to express that the place

What to Eat,

The good cook knows that eggs can be
prepared In as many different ways as
there are days in the month; consequently
those households in which one hears COM
plants of monotony I'm their service are
not catered to by intelligent cooks. The
following novel methods Of using eggs are
worth trying:
TO make egg salad for a party Of six take
SIX hard boiled eggs. two ounces of butter,
three level teaspoOnfulS Of curry pate. two
level teaSpOOnfulS OF essence of auchOyy,
pepper and salt If needed and watercress
and lettuce. Boil the eggs for fifteen min
utos, then crack and place for FIVE minutes
in cold water. This will prevent them dis
coloring Shell and cut in halves the round
way of the eggs. fake out the yolkS care
fully, so as not to break the cases formed
by the whites. Put the yolks and butter
IN a basin, work well together with a
wooden spoon. Add curry powder and
anchoVy essence to taste Cthe full amount
given here would be too much for some and
too little for othersD Season very care
fully. Pack this mixture evenly into the
whites and then place the two halves to-
gether again, making the eggs look as if
they had not been opened. When the eggs
are ready cut a small piece of white off
underneath so that they wi stand steadily
Arrange prettily on a dish with carefully
washed and picked watsrcress or lettuce.
Deviled poached eggs require eight table
spoonsfuls of gravy or stock, one Of wor-
ceSterShire sauce, one of mushroom cat
sup, a teaspoonful of red currant Jelly or
chutney, a tablespoonful Of lemon Juice,
cayenne and salt TO taste. Thicker these
ingredients with a small dessertsDOonful

Poach as many eggs as you wish to serve

the dish each egg may set on piece Of
toast or piece of bacon, being covered
with sauce.

quired. For II thin, short crust is necos-
sary. Line baking dish with short crust

write lines descriptive OF their efforts.
The protests against thus committing
themselves are sometimes loud and deem
No attention should be paid to them
The most amusing pages in the face book
are apt to be the ones in which detached
human features are drawn. For instance
there may a nose done by one friend and
an ear by another, just the tip end of the
dimpled chin by third or the sketch of a
hand. 1t is a good plan to have the pages
with these odds and ends of features
skstched in without autographs A good
line at the head of the page would be
by their works ye shall know them
These are the guessing leaves of the face
book and many a jolly hour may be pass
ed by visitors who try to guess the names
of the artists. Some women insist that
musical friends shall express a sentiment
by means of bar of music. The selection
of the bar is made from a popular song,
and the first word of the line is written
over the initial note. while the last one
appears above the closing one. This helps
out the guesses who can not read music
but who is familiar with the songs OF the
day. Other face book owners, with original
minds, insist that only flowers or plants or
trees be drawn on the pages. A glance at
some of these makes wonder to see
how little form in flowers is appreciated.
Color appears to be the chief point that
appeals to the average eye, and form to a
little or no place at all in it.
The face book need never be complete,
for each evening that a woman entertains
a fresh leaf may be added.
