STUCK TO HAM AND EGGS.
Why Drummer Made Breakfast Dish
His Great Standby.

IT'S funny how a man will get into
the habit of eating something that he
doesn't really like" remarked drum
mer. Il have been travelling mostly
through small towns for the last two
months aDd have had to put up at
some pretty sad hotels. The result is
that l have fallen into the habit of
eating ham and eggs and not much
else, about twice day and sometimes
three times day. never used to eat
eggs at home and never cared much
FOR any salt meats, but I've got the
habit now and l order ham and eggs,
even when l have an elaborate menu
in front of me at big hotel. The
reason is simply that in small towns.
ham and eggs are about the only
things you can afford to take a chance
on. 1t is seldom that you get packed
eggs, because fresh eggs are cheap
enough in small places, and then, no
matter how inexperienced the cook
is, he can fry or boil you some eggs.
Then they nearly always have good
ham. Occasionally l add boiled pota-
toes to my small hotel menu. because
they can hardly give you the worst of

beams upon him with the genial smile

portunty for original design. The al
buns meant for photographs have
perfectly plain pages. while those
meant for post cards are cut in slits
so that the post cards may be fastened
in at the four corners.
II one is able to draw or paint, the
photograph book may be made more
decorative by drawing frames in the
size of the unmounted photographs.
There is also quite a fashion among
girls who take small photographs, for
very small books in which one pho
tograph may be pasted on each page.
These books also are made of the
heavy cartridge paper. These small
books are often used for one kind of
photographs only. For instance, a
girl with a camera will make a num-
Der of pictures of a baby sister or
brother for a gift to her parents, or
perhaps the pet dog pictured in
number of pretty attitudes will ap-
pear on all the pages of the pretty
book. Girls at school sometimes take
photographs of their ravorIte fnstruc.
tors and chums and send the book full
of such pictures home. so that their
nome people may see the friends with
whom they pass their school days, or
keep it as a souvenir to grow more
valuable as the years go on.

HOMEMADE ALBUMS

Heavy Cartridge Paper the Material
for the Manufacture Of These
Souvenrs-Appropriate and
Pretty Decorations.

Albums for holding unmounted pho
tograhs and post cards are made of
very heavy cartridge paper and are
exceedingly easy of manufacture. No
cover is necessary, as the cartridge
paper does perfectly well for the cover
also. The books are usually made
quite large and are sewed together in
the middle with a few stitches of
strong silk cord. The cover is glued
on with good glue-not mucilage. The
cover is usually decorated with pho
tograph pasted in the center and with
the word Album" or Photographs"
or Post Cards" in large letters, which
may be in water color or crayon. For

course, the decoration of the cover is

Methods. by Which the Sloppy Look
Can Be Overcome.

That sloppy look at the waistline
caused by a bulging blouse can be
overcome with little care.
Every unlined waist is apt to slip
up unless it is drawn down tightly
under the belt and pinned. This should
be done after skirt is on and the full
ness of the blouse adjusted in front.
Use the thin. long white or black
headed pins that come in cubes.
II the pinning is carefully done
there should be no bulging, but the
chief trouble is that the pins tear
sheer material unless fastened through
the corset.
Instead Of the pin, therefore, you
can use an elastic about an inch wide
and long enough to tie tightly around
the waist. On each end stitch a piece
Of tape about an inch in length and
through this put button and button
hole.
When this rubber arrangement is
fastened around the waist over the
blouse all danger of the latter Slip
ping is past and a neat, trim appear
ance to the waistline is assured.

A ball of cream of chicken salad

ightful tea or supper dish. Olives

To make the cream of chicken
salad. chop the chicken very fine. Add
to each half pint one-half pint of
cream sauce and two tablespoonfuls
of gelatine that has been soaked in
four tablespoonfuls of cold water for
an hour. Mix the ingredients together

shallow pan to cool When cold form
into balls the size of English walnuts.
Put three of these balls on nest of
lettuce leaves, put one teaspoonful of
mayonnaise in the middle and they
are ready to serve.
Use slightly toasted unsalted al
monds for sandwiches. After they
have been chopped fine sprinkle them
thickly between thin slices of bread
and butter, press together and cut in
any fancy shapes desired.
The lemon squash may be made the
day before. Crate the yellow rind of
three lemons and add two pounds of
sugar to one quart of water; boil for
five minutes and strain. Add the juice
of IL lemons and strain again At
serving time dilute this with Apolli-

BETTER THAN CAN BE BOUGHT
Handkerchicfs Made at Home Are
Dainty and Economical.

Some handkerchiefs which are pret.
ty and dainty are fascinating to
make and at the same time are
economical. One yard and quarter
of 45-inch wide handkerchief linen
will make nine mems handkerchiefs
of the correct size. Twelve women's
handkerchiefs may be made from e
yard and quarter of 32inch wide
linen at one dollar or $1.50 a yard.
After the linen is cut into squares
for the handkerchiefs each corner is
slightly curved to form a curved in
stead Of square corner The edges
are then rolled and whipped over with
colored wash file thread The stitches
take in only the depth of the roll
After the handkerchief is all whipped,
turn back and whip in the same way,
the return stitches between those
done the first time. This crosses the
threads and produces charming
cross-sticth effect. A small initial
should be worked in the corner in the
same color thread. These handker-
chiefs are odd and unique, and still
are much in vogue, as all the smart
handkerchiefs have a touch of color
somewhere.

BabY's Dress.

A little baby's arm grows SO fast
that the sleeve is outgrown before the
rest of the dress. Instead of gathering
the sleeve of the first dresses on a
waistband, run a small tuck Just above
the hem. sew up the sleeve, then work
a buttonhole in the tuck at each side
of the seam, run baby ribbon through
the tuck, draw it up and tie. As the
tiny arm grows the sleeve can be tied
looser, and does not cut the tender
flesh as band would do. Whip a
dainty piece of lace on the hem for a
finish.
