New and Seasonable
Recipes.
by SARA CRAWFORD.

Beet and MiId Onion Sa7ad.-Slice,
crosswise, two peeled Bermuda onions as
thin as possible, sprinkle lightly with
salt and pour little vinegar over 1t. Let
stand In a cold place for about an hour.
Cook three red beets, plunge them into
cold water to rub off the skins, then cut
them In thin slices and the slices into
narrow strips. When cold put the beets
into bowl with the drained onions,
sprinkle with salt and paprika and pour
over four or fve tablespoonfuls Of OIL
Toss and mix for sometime, adding more
oil, If necessary, to coat the whole thor
oughly. Then add about two tablespoon
fuls of vinegar and mix again. Serve on
bed of carefully arranged lettuce leaves.
Rhubnrb Meringue. - Procure some
fresh, pink-tinted rhubarb; peel and cut
into inch lengths. Put a layer of stale
sponge cake into a well-buttered pud-
ding dlsh on this put some rhubarb, and
sprinkle this with sugar, a coating of
candied orange peel and a few grains
of salt. Continue In this order until the
dish Is filled. Cover the dish for the first
10 minutes of the baking, which lasts
half an hour. Beat the whites of three
eggs till foamy and quite dry; then beat
into them, gradually, three level table
spoonsfuls of sugar, and continue the
beating until the mixture becomes very
glossy. Then cut and fold in three level
tablespoonfuls of sugar. When the pud-
ding has been cooled a little spread this
over 1t and dredge the top with granu-
lated sugar, then bake to delicate fawn
color in a very slow oven.
Tomato Salad. - Peel the tomatoes,

cupful of olive oil, a teaspoonful at a
time Use an egg-beater to whip it with.
When ready to set aside beat in one or
two trufies, chopped fine. This quantity
of dressing is sufficient for -. so the
quantities may be halved If necessary.

Possibilities Of the
Strawberry.
BY SARA CRAWFORD.

Strawberry Charlotte Russe.-Soak
one-third Of box of gelatin in one
quarter Of a cupful Of cold water. Add
to a quart of berries crushed and passed
through puree seive, the gelatin, one
and a half cupfuls of powdered sugar
and one and a half teaspoonfuls OF
lemon Juice. Put 1t aside for awhile.
When 1t begins to stiffen beat 1t until
1t Is light and spongy, then mix In nalt
pint Of whipped cream, being careful
not to pour In any Of the liquid cream
that may have drained to the bottom OF
the dish. Turn the mixture into a char
lotte mold lined with ladyfngers. When
1t is unmolded garnish it with whole
strawberries.
Strawberries and Pinenpples.-
Select fine, full-havored strawberries and
arrange them In a deep glass dish with
alternate layers Of ~coarsely chopped
pineapple, sprinkling between each
generous dusting of powdered sugar and
fresh grated cocoanut Pour over the
top cupful of orange juice and set In
cold place until thoroughly chilled.
Strawberry Tart1ets. - Use tartlet

paste trimmings preferred. Just before
serving freshen the shells by heating
them if they have been kept sometime,
and fill with fresh stewed Strawberries
Serve the juice separately in sauce
dish. To prepare the strawberries put
them in saucepan and cover them with
enough sugar to sweeten them. Let
them stand in q warm place until the

ries to give one and a half cupfuls Of

juice and when 1t is cold freeze 1t by
turning the crank for FIVE minutes, then
letting 1t stand for FIVE minutes, and SO
on until 1t is frozen. Serve In In
dividual glasses.

Investing Your Money Mortgages.

property. 1t is accompanied by a bond
which Is promise to pay at a certain
date or provides for a renewal. The rate
Of interest charged is usually FIVE per
cent. Thus the bond is a sort of promis-
sorry note, the mortgage its security. In
smaller towns the bank and the lawyer
usually nre the ones who handle these
deals; in the larger cities the real es-
tate or title companies have complete
ly usurped their field. While the busi-
ness has started and continues on a big
scale, in which one must have many
big cities the real estate mortgage has
been brought within range Of the small
investor by a new and popular plan.
These companies take batch of mort
cages, say for $4,000, and pool them,
getting the usual five per cent. They
then issue 100 real estate certificates at
500 each, paying four and one-half per
cent. year, payable every six months.
The certificates are registered and sold
like bonds. are first claim on the prop
erty the same as mortgage and are
guaranteed principal and interest.
Companies have formulated this plan
to create wider market for mortgages.
Getting FIVE per cent. they pay out four
and one-half per cent. and make profit
of one-half per cent, exactly as they
would with the investor who has hun
dreds of thousands. These certificates
usually mature in ten years, but can be

A Colonial Summer Cottage

which would make the most durable finish
but would add about $500 to the cost.
The foundation, that is low. should be
built Of boulder stone Of various sizes,
and neatly pointed with white mortar,
the fireplace would make a very handsome
feature If built Of round cobblestone from
to inches In diameter,' well laid In
cement and neatly pointed, carrying the
cobblestone up to the ceiling and using
a wide heavy oak mantel shelf; also the
chimney should be topped out with the
same stone.
A dark green color for the exterior of
this house, with white for the trimmings,
would make a very pleasing appearance
for summer home. In planning to build
a summer cottage or bungalow" the ma
terlal used for the exterior will depend
largely upon Its locality. The author will
be pleased to answer all questions and
give advice regarding these matters, all
such communications being sent to his
address at Minneapolis, Minnesota. This
cottage could be built of logs very sue
cessfully; this would be particularly de-
sirable IL building in a pine country.
either North or South. II cement Is used
on the exterior It should be placed on
metal lath furred out from the sheathing
with half-inch strips. To give a rough
and rustic appearance, scratch the sur
face of the cement, leaving 1t quite rough
and Jagged, ana all exterior boards used
in the castings and cornices put on rough
from the saw without surfacing; this will
give very rustic appearance, and much
after the English half-timber methods.
With the rough and rustic finish of the
exterior climbing vines can be used with
very artistic effect, and will add much
to the appearance of the summer cottage.
The English climbing ivy or woodbine
are hardy and permanent, and specially
adapted with certain localities. The
morning glories also look well and are Of
quick growth.
The front windows In the second story
with the overhanging roof and balcony
would be very pleasant II screened In
with wire, and all windows and outside
doors throughout should be thoroughly
screened in.

The Latest Lingerie Blouse Models.

The illustrations accompanying this
article show several very attractive
styles for sheer bouses OF the more
dressy class, all of the designs calling for
lace, embroidery or hand work, but If one
is clever at sewing the cost Of even the
most elaborate of the models sketched
will be under three dollars. OF course,
that is, provided the blouse is made at
home, as 1t is the hand work and fine
stitchery that makes the cost of such
finished garments large. rather than the
cost Of the materials.
The making Of these little unlined
blouses in sheer wash materials is very
pleasant work, however. and rs a fine
blouse is appropriate to so many occa-
sions, three or four daintily made blouses
should be included in every summer ward
robe. Then, too, several tailored linen
shirts, and one or two tucked ones, to
be worn with rundown linen collars, are
also generally needed. Do not make the
mistake of purchasing cheaply made over
trimmed blouses ready made-in the de-
sirable styles, and when the lace or other
trimming used Is Of the finer grades these
ready made blouses are very high in
price, and twelve or fifteen dollars will
be asked for finely trimmed blouse with
touch Of hand work. The plain tailored
shirts can sometimes be bought very sat
isfactorily ready made, and in some
shops delightful little simple blouses Of
tucked dimity or crossbarred batiste. made

anteed "oiled boiled" cotton should be

Is wasted, so the skelns should first be
"set" by being boiled for two or three
minutes In salted water.
The second sketch shows a blouse of
handkerchief linen inset with Cluny In
sertion and showing hand embroidery in
a padded flower design about the yoke.
The third design shows the way to use
deep embroidery edge or founcing in max
ing a blouse. So many blouses of this
sort are spoiled by the clumsy way In
which the scalloped edges Of the en-
broldery are Joined down the center Of
the front, ct cetera. The blouse pic
tured was made of fine lawn and trimmed
with six-inch deep fine embroidery edg-
ing. which showed inlet medallions Of
baby Irish. The scalloped edges of the
embroidery were Joined together down
the center of the front by spider webs"
done in rather coarse white embroidery
thread, the top of the collar and sleeve
edges having the scalloped edges fagotted
in the cotton of a narrow bias fold Of
lawn. When doing the spider webs"
the two edges of embroidery should be
basted on a strip of paper to hold in
place while the work is being done.
The fourth sketch shows French
blouse of wash chiffon, that can be copied
by a clever needle worker. The upper
part of the blouse and the sleeves were

As the "heated term" approaches, cot

fects being worked on sheer material in
pale blue, pink, lavender and green.
Another suggestion for the needleworker
is the use OF fine lace braids or corona
tion braid in place Of hand embroidery to
form designs on these separate blouses.
Effective scroll and flower designs with
out too many turns or endings are chosen
for this braid work with charming re-
suits One lovely blouse recently seen
was Of sheer handkerchief linen, with a
scroll design carried out in small pieot
edge braid.
Another idea Is to couch this braid on
with a double strand of colored cotton,
one model of this sort having the braid
all couched on with leaf green cotton,
with graduated dots In three shades
worked solid at intervals in the design.
To form the thin yokes and collars OF
such blouses cluny beading, caught to-
gether with fagotting or lace stitches, Is
exceedingly pretty, or val. insertion or
overlapped edging can be used with very
good results. I
The first blouse shown was Of white
null, trimmed with inch and half
wide Irish Cluny insertion. The little
yoke was of hand-tucked pink null Of
pale shade, and a garland design In soft
pastel shades of pink. green and pale
blue was embroidered below this yoke.
The touch of pale blue was worked into
the design by the use of small fotget-me-
not blooms in the rose garlands. In
using this colored embroidery, only guar
