For a Back Porch Shade.

A simple and inexpensive shade for
the summer porch, or for a window,
may be made by using Japanese mat
ting. cut in the. required length and
bound at each end with a piece of
strong cotton goods. To roll the
screen up take two pieces of heavy
string or cord about three times as
long as the mating; tack the end of
each string about two inches above
the shade and about a foot from the
edge; let the string come down be-
hind the mating and up in front of
it, and draw through an ordinary mat
ting tack placed Just beside the first
one. This simple device will keep
the porch cool and serve to darken
any specially sunny window in the
house. Good mating for this pur-
pose may be bought for 10 to IL
cents a yard.

Cleaning Rinus.

Rings set with precious stones
should always be inspected from time
to time to ascertain if the gems are
at all loose, especially in the case OF
claw settings. 1t is also a good plan
to wash them periodically in warm
soapsuds, to which few drops of sal
volatile have been added, an exception
being made, however, in the case OF
turquoises, which should not be damp
ened. In every case the claw set
tings should be cleaned by means Of a
wisp of blOtting paper rolled into the
form of shading stump" and worked
into the interstices so as to clear them
of any accumulation Of dirt.

SERVING THE FOWL
TWO DELICIOUS WAYS OF PRE-
PAIRING CHICKEN.
When Pressed Ii Makes as Fine a
Dish as Could BE Desired
Steamed with Rice and
Mushrooms.

Pressed Chicken.-Cover a young
fowl, cut in joints, with boiling water,
and let simmer until tender. together
with a few slices of carrot. half an
onion, and a stalk of celery, Remove
the skin and bones, and return them
with the broth TO the fire, and let
simmer until reduced to about one
cup; strain and set aside. When the
flesh is nearly cold. cut into tiny cubes
or chop fine; remove the fat from the
broth, Teheat, and stir the chicken into
it, adding salt and pepper and other
seasoning as desired. Decorate a mold
with slices OF haTd-bOiled eggs; in this
pack the hot chicken. cover with a
buttered paper bearing a weight, and
let stand until cold and set. Serve.
sliced thin, with salad.
Steamed Fowl with Rice and Mush-
rooms.-Truss a fowl for boiling, rub
with the cut side of a lemon and lay
on slices of salt pork or bacon and
steam with an onion and two or three
stalks of celery until tender-three
hours or longer. Have ready a mound
of boiled rice, seasoned with butter
and salt, and dispose the fowl upon
this. Arrange mushrooms cooked in
the usual manner about the rice
Serve with the strained chicken liquor
thickened with flour and enriched with
two egg yOlks, beaten with half cup
ful of cream.
Jellied Chicken.-BoiI a chicken and
let it get cold in the liquor. Skim the
liquor from every particle Of fat Re
move all the skin and bones from the
chicken and cut the meat into pieces
OF uniform size. Soak a half-cup of
gelatin in half-cup of cold water Mix
with the chicken a dozen stoned olives
cut up small and two dozen canned
mushrooms, also cut small Bring
the chicken liquor to a boil, add the
soaked gelatin and when this is dis
solved take from the fire and set
aside to cool. When it begins to
Jelly" pour a little of it into a mold
wet with cold watetr, put in a layer of
the chicken mixture and when this
begins TO stiffen add more of the jelly
and more of the chicken, continuing in
this way until the mold is full. Set
in the ice chest for "a hours. When
ready to serve wipe off the outside of
the mold with a cloth wrung out in
hot water and turn the chicken out

SOME CORN RECIPES
FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF
DELICIOUS VEGETABLE.
Boiled In Milk Is One Excellent Way
Of Preparing lt-In the Form
of an Omelet-SerVed
as Pudding.

A nice way TO cook tender corn is in
milk. In this case husk the corn and
drop into the boiling milk Cook just
five minutes from the time it begins
to boil. Keep covered closely while
cooking and serve as soon as done.
Where there is a large family to be
provided with corn, it is wiser to cook
the corn in relays.
Indian Corn Pudding.-Select firm,
fresh ears of corn, medium size, and
with a keen-bladed knife score each
row of kernels, then scrape out the
pulp, leaving the hulls on the cob. To
the pulp taken from dozen ears allow
a pint and a half rich milk, four beat
en- eggs, a teaspOonful salt, half tea
spoonful pepper, and if the corn lacks
sweetness two or three tablespOOnfuls
sugar. Bake in a well-buttered deep
earthen dish for two hours, in slow,
steady oven.
Corn Fritters.-Cut the kernels from
four good-sized ears young corn. Add
two beaten eggs, half a teaspoonful
salt, a saltspoonful pepper, cup Of
flour pressed down and heaped a little,
and a cup of cold milk. Have ready a
hot frying pan well creased and drop
in the batter by spOOnfuls. There
should be enough for a dozens. Do
not let the fritteTs touch. Cook in re-
lays, frying on one side four minutes,
then turn and fry the other. These
are delicious as an accompaniment for
chicken or to serve for breakfast.
Green Corn Omelet.-Score the rows
of four large ears of corn and scrape
out the pulp. Mix with five well-beat-
en- eggs, whites and yolks together,
one tablespoonful cream, half a tea
spoonful salt and pepper to season.
Heat a frying pan, drop in a table
spoonful butter and grease every por-
tion of the sides and bottom. Pour in
the omelet and tilt the pan, sliding a
thin-bladed knife under the omelet to
prevent its sticking. When nearly
cooked on top the stove, set in the
oven to finish. Then fold over and
turn on to hot platter.
BFOtiSO sweet OOF0s-DOlt the ears
OF corn two minutes, then drain and
dry on a towel Place on a brOiler and
toast over glowing Goals or under the
gas flame until a good brown. Season
with salt and send to the table in q
napkin.
Baked Corn.-Take OF the coarse
outer husks from young corn, turn
back the inner and remove the silk.
Bring the inner husks back over the
end, tie in place and lay in the oven.
Bake about 20 minutes.
What TO Do with Leftover Corn
Cut from the cob, then chop very fine.
Put over the fire in a shallow basin,
adding milk to moisten slightly. Let
it just come to a boil, no more, or 1t
will be hopelessly toughened; season
with salt, pepper and butter, and serve
At once.

COFFEE FRAPPE is GOOD.
Necessltates Only Little Work with
the Freezer.

Prepare a pint of strong, black cof-
fee; boil granulated sugar with enough
water to dissolve it until it almost
place the mixture in a freezer. The
amount of sugar must vary according
to your taste; it should be sweetened
to about the same point that you like
breakfast coffee; no more. Turn the
dasher of the freezer first to right then
to the left, alternating the movement
and scraping down the mixture from
the side Of the freezer as it begins to
harden. When it looks like rock crys-
tai, that is, semi-ransparent and show
ing little sharp points, heap in glasses
and serve Immediately with very thin
waters that are not too sweet.

Clean with Gasoline.

BOleros and blouses of velvet, and,
In fact, any small articles fashioned
OF this material, may be easily cleaned
at home by means Of gasoline The
greatest care should always be exer-
cIsed, however, in handling gasoline,
owing to its highly inf1ammable nature
and the receptacle containing it should
be stored outside if possible, and must
be kept tightly corked, while the clean
ing operations should be carried on out
OF doors.

To Wash GREASY FIanneis.

The best way to wash greasy fan
nels is to soak them for half an hour
in soapy water. The water should
cover the garment and should not be
allowed to get cold while the fiannels
are soaking. Add a good quantity OF
ammonia to the sOapy water and place
a cover over the tub or receptacle
where the f1annels are soaking. Wash
in a second fresh lather and then rinse
thoroughly.

The Eirst.Aid NaIiss

The latest production of those pur-
veyOrs who are always inventing some
thing useful for the motorist is called
the first-aid valise. It is a small but
very useful pendulum of remedies for
bruises, cuts and other ills that may,
alas! befall the traveller on an automo-
bile.
Rolls OF lint, TASKS of cooling To-
tiOns, scissors, a small bottle of brandy
and other items of first-aid utility are
contained in a little leather box, the
color of which must be determined by
the lining of the car.

4 Picture Hint.

A pretty fancy is the use of shallow
boxes in the framing of small prints.
Photographic views. carefully colOred
with Japanese paints, are set in boxes
one to one and half inches deep
Some of the prettiest of these are set
in gray wood, the tint of weather
exposed shingles. The coloTings OF
the photographs is not difficult to
learn. The amateur photographer will
find this a suggestion for utilizing
summer vacation takes" for the rec
grafton of a special room or for charm
ing and inexpensive Xmas gifts.
