Of humanity Just as they bring out the
best in men; for example, note the
despicable illustrations in the Chelsea,
Mass, fire Of Sunday, when men were
arrested for thievery, having robbed peo-
pie who lost their homes and almost
their all in the great confagration.

a Batting Suit ard. 8 q g Y
q q Beach Role Confined

any additional weight and covering are
a burden beach robe donned over
wet bathing suit gives one q mono too
pleasant feeling. To obviate this
weight and unpleasantness a novel
combination costume has been origi-
mated by a woman whose sympathies
are with those exceedingly modest
bathers who feel the need of an over
garment to wear to and from the beach.
The suit is in two pieces, bloomers
and coat, the shield attached to
the boomers The bathing suit
can be made into q long. loose
fitting coat in which to walk to
the beach. As the water 10 ap-
preached IL is tho work of only . few
seconds to draw the running cord
through the braid that acts as a trim
ming around the waist and convert the
coat into short skirt. bringing back
the blouse and coat effect OF former
years. II the blouse part is too deep
to give the wearer a trim look some
of the fullness can be tucked under the
skirt cord. thereby getting rid Of much
OF the bagginess. which few women
find becoming. True, this material
tucked under the skirt top adds a cer-
tain amount of plumpness but 1t can
be arranged carefully and evenly with
out obliterating the waist line alto
gether.
On leaving the water one pull of the
cord and the skirt is brought back to
its coat once more. AS the garment Is
made of brilliantine 1t will not cling
to the figure and II the skirt part is
wruug out it will dry very quickly.
The suit may be made in variety of
fashions, high, low, square or round
neck with pretty collars trimmed with
braids If II Is desired, the shield can
readily be discarded and straps across
the shoulders substituted to hold the
bloomers In place. answering the same
purpose and giving the low neck effect,
which is cool and comfortable.
The best cord to use for drawing ND
the skirt is a fat one. that does not
cut into the flesh, and one that is
strong enough to keep the suit in
place. Usually 1t matches the trimming
outlining the shield and wide collar.
and like this trimming it is shrunk be-
fore its initiation into the surf
The drawing cord should be just long
enough to leave no ends, except the
finishing ones, when the skirt is con-
verted into a coat. This does away
with any extra weight and gives a
neater appearance to the robe. The
strip through which the drawing cord
is run may be an applied one of braid
or OF stitched straps OF the skirt ma
terial.
The suit will be found practical and
convenient to those whose cottages are

Eggplant a la Bourbon

4 F you wish to serve a surprise dish at
a special dinner you can scarcely do
better than to serve eggplant la
Bourbon. the recipe being a modern
Improvement upon dish that was once
the favorite Wand of francesca de
Bourbon, last king of Naples.
Pour a cupful of cream into an
earthen baking dish. Upon this put
several slices of eggplant. which must
have been cut very thin. Add half a
can OF tomatoes and sprinkle the top
with bits of American cheese about
the size of an almond. and salt and
pepper. When this has been done cover
with a rather thick layer of macaroTi.
broken into pieces about two inches In
length; follow with more eggplant the
other half can of tomatoes, more
cheese. pepper and salt, and finally
over the whole pour about pint OF
good rich stock. Bake in a steady,
slow oven for about an hour and 20
minutes.-Delineator

the unbeaten white of an egg and
pasted at once over the top of the
glass. being careful to have no folds
at the sides through which the air
can reach the jelly. If properly pasted
the jelly will be kept perfectly air tight
and free from fermenting or mold.
The secret of preserving fruit is to
kill the germs, which is done either by
boiling the fruit sufficient length OF
time or by pouring boiling syrup over
the fresh fruit. Plenty of sugar US
ually means rich and luscious pre-
serves. There is no economy in stint
ing the sugar, for too little of it makes
the fruit tasteless, and, besides, fruit
preserved this way does not keep as
long as when plenty of sugar is used.
To prevent the jars or bottles from
cracking when the hot preserves are
poured into them the old fashioned
housewife stood the jars on cloths
which had been dipped in cold water
and then partly wrung out. The clean,
dry jars can be set In a row on this
damp cloth. and as each one is filled
with the hot preserves the cover should
be put on, the jar inverted and left in
this position until the fruit has cooled.
Before removing to a COOL dry place
each jar should be examined carefully
to see that it is all tight and after 4s
hours, If there are no signs of air
bubbles and the top has been given an
extra turn, the preserves may be put
away in the darkened pantry, where
they will keep for months II the in
closure is dry and clean. Jelly glasses
should be rinsed in ice cold water Just
before the fruit is poured into them.
The fruit pantry should be separate
from the others. The shelves look
more attractive IL they are covered
with fancy paper or oil cloth. This
makes it easier to discover any glasses
or jars that may be leaking. Each jar
should be labeled plainly and it Is bet
ter to have all the jellies arranged to-
gether in their kinds and all the pre-
serves in another part of the pantry. A
pantry near the range is not good
