that, a small earthen butter crock. You

Shadow Work
With New Touches

HADOW work has had such a run"
for the last year that it might be
thought to have had its day, did IL not
seem to be stronger than ever.
This may not be so as regards blouses
and whole dresses. but it is certainly
marked as far as fancy work is concerned
also for lingerie proper.
Shadow work In rather small designs is
a quick and snowy way to embellish cor
set cover or night gown. especially now
that the work is given more character by
the use OF extra stitches for shading on the
right side.
For fancy work 1t is made really lovely
by the use of tnting, softly blended colors,

A very attractive set of this kind has a
pillow and flight OF butterflies on smaller
pieces. The material is a sheer lawn.

outwear two or three machine-made affairs.
Strange to say. though the crocheted
sweater is much more quickly finished than
a knitted one; the latter Is much more pop
ular even for the comparative novice in
knitting.
After all, the thing to do is to select a

1t was hard to believe that her valentines

Winnie, by far the poorest girl of the

had divided Into five sections, each tied with

to spend all the afternoon of February IA
in the local hospital, and devote an hour to

To make a good puff paste, roll out an
eighth of an inch thick, then stamp out as
many circular pieces as you will require
patties. using sharp cutter two or two

through the center of each disk, being
careful not to cut through to the bottom.
Place in a creased dripping pan like bis

bake delicate brown. Remove the little
cap made by the smaller cutter, fill with
the prepared oyster, sweetbread or chicken
filling: replace the cap and serve hot. To
make the filling for patties. chop raw oys-
tiers, boiled sweetbreads. or scraps of the
breast Of turkey or chicken into coarse
bits; add to a cream sauce made by cook

and flour. then thinning with half cup

are warmed and blended into a smooth
paste. They are then seasoned with little

them.
Practical Elsie had. as usual, thought
first of the utility of her valentines. She
had chosen five old ladies from the Home
for the Aged. from list given her by the
matron. To each she presented small
WOODEN shawl. to which was pinned a card
bearing simply the words, ITO my valen-
tine
Anna, the domestic. 'stay- at home girl,
had devoted herself to cookery. For each
OF her valentines she made a large heart of
hard old-fashioned peppermint candy, on
which, in chocolates-were written the recip-
tents name and the date. She had discoy-
cred that among all the club there were
just five grandparents. and "by permits
sion,' as she said, they made up her list.
Florence. the artist of the group, had Sc
cured photographs of all her old people
all more or less distant relatives-and COL
ored them. She then passepartouted them
and presented them, being careful that
none should receive his or her own portrait
