When RroIIina Chicken.

To broil chicken so that it is cooked
through, yet not burned, is an art few
cooks seem to possess. The reason is
usually that the fire is too hot and the
chicken too close to it.
The perfection of broiling requires
a clear bed of Goals and the broiler far
enough away for it's contents to cook
slowly. This latter requirement is met
by having several bricks on which the
broiler can be set to raise it above the
flame, instead of allowing it to rest di-
rectly on the surface of the range, az
is the usual way.
Should the fire be too hot insert an
other layer of bricks for short time,
removing them later.
: medium sized pair of chickens re-
quire twenty-five minutes to be broil-
ed in this way. At the end put into a
baking pan, covered with butter, pep
per and salt, until a nice gravy is
drawn.
In putting the chicken on the broil-
er turn the inside toward the fire first
and later turn over on the back.

Nothing to Lose by cuItivatins Good
Manners.

Manners.
Have you ever had a woman tell you
that she would not say please" and
'Thank you" to servants? They are
such short little words that any child
can utter them; but, truth to tell, chill
dren Of the present day are not taught
to use them when addressing servants.
A little politeness goes long way and
helps to lubricate the wheels of do
nestle affairs fully as much as oil
applied to machinery. There is fire.
quently as much friction in the one
case as in the other. Then why not ap-
ply the same method? Politeness and
tact should go hand in hand. An or
der given with a smile and please"
will, i'll all probability, be better car
ried out and more quickly executed
for the little word, and if THANK
you" is added when the service is fin
ished what harm can possibly be
done? There is certainly nothing to
lose by cultivating good manners
you have not them already. In fact,
the gain is on the side of the we'll bred
woman who requites each little serv-
ice with THANK you" "Good man
ners are greater factor in success
than mental ability" said savant. 1t
is undoubtedly a well acknowledged
fact that bewitching manners go far
to secure a person social success. The
inference, naturally, is that good man.

SCISSOR was raised in refined and cul-.
tivated atmosphere-in other words,

a divine gift and wins favor readily,
but beauty without good breeding
soon fails to satisfy, and the person
is apt to be looked upon as one whose
birth was not all that it should have
been. The old saying, Beauty is but

fortunate possessor who relies solely
on its charm. 1t fades all too soon. and
unless there are other staying quail

when the inevitable change takes
place. Each one influences some one

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Weakly children are very liable to

oil or malt are the best remedies.
For dark circles under the eyes reg
ular living, simple diet, deep breath

specifics.

is a fine prescription for thin contour
Of face
To reduce wide nostrils lotion of
tannin and camphor carefully mixed
in equal proportions and faithfully ap-
piled will invariably yield good results.
For sunken cheeks one ounce of Ian
olin mixed with one-half ounce of
cocoa butter and rubbed into the face
with rotary and upward motion is an
accepted specific.
Small wisps of hair will stay in curl
much longer if just before the hair is
curled with the heated iron the locks
are dampened with bay rum. This
often proves very helpful on damp
days.
Learn to dance. Dancers are fine
walkers. Dance fifteen minutes every
day. 1t will make you more timber In
the unused muscles. When you walk
try to relax a little. Most walkers
walk as if they were trying to walk a
crack. They walk stiffly.

A Novel Salad.

Do you want to serve a salad that
isn't commonplace? Make it of cher
ries, luscious pink and white oxhearts
served on delicate green lettuce hearts
covered with highly seasoned French
dressing.
Stone the cherries so as to crush
them as little as possible. They may
be used alone, or the centers can be
filed with pecans. Put them on the
ice until thoroughly chilled.
The French dressing is mixed in a
bowl which has been rubbed with a
Glove or garlic and a small piece of
onion and is made hot with red pep
per. Allow the cherries to stand in
it for at least half an hour before
serving.
This salad is as charming to the eye
as to the palate and may be quickly
and easily prepared in an emergency.

the White House all well and good.
And If she doesn't, why, all well and
good. Campaigning is only one inter-
esting phase Of life, after all. But
wherever she goes and whatever she
does she will always be bigger than
the circumstance. Every detail Of her
home life shows that.
For instance, Nebraska hill knows
the sun in all his glory. Besides, it
is treeless. But this did not disturb
Mrs. Bryan. She planned a house
which, waiting for trees to grow,
would be comfortable. Then she con-
Eidered the grounds. There were acres
in them, rounding up from the road
way far below.
A lawn would look bare and stiff,
she decided. So alfalfa was sown.
And no one who has not seen the
Ibushy green growth can appreciate
how it softens the vast expanse. The
alfalfa also stays green long after fall
has scared other grasses.
Then the porch-it is a masterpiece.
From the outside it is a curving
white heat reflector with it's panels Of
glistening windows. But inside you
are introduced into another world.
The house is red brick. The porch
pillars are of red stone. And connecting
these is a circular wall of windows,
shaded and arranged so that the sun is
kept out and every morning breath Of
air let in. Vines droop from the walls.
Ferns and flowers surround the sup
porting pillars. And with the bamboo
furnishings and Indian rugs it looks
as inviting as a mountain grotto.
However, its invitation is deceptive,
for it's a sort OF watchtower, where a
servant keeps guard and detains poll
lticians and autograph seekers and the
rest of the daily pilgrimage to Fair
view that has some pretext for over
stepping the camera line.
The rest of the house is a gallery Of
art gems and curioS. From Mr.. Bry-
ans study and the dining room, built
below ground for GOODNESS, to the gar
ret roof there are beautiful gleanings
from the Occident and orient.
The Bryan household is large.
Everything is well apportioned. Every
thing runs smoothly. If people are
ready for meals when meals are ready,
very well. And if they are not, why,
the meals wait and no one fuses. The
servants follow their mistress lead.

To Keep Them Flat.

The plaitings seen on many Of the
seasons waists may be Numbered east
ly if the edge is basted before sending
to the wash. This may seem a trouble,
bat the results after ironing make 1t
worth while.
Another reason that the new plait-
ings lie flatter than formerly is that
they are put in perfectly fiat after
plating, allowing no fullness of gath
ers. Hold the plating toward you
while basting, for, while not fulled, it
must not be scant enough to draw.

A Way to Pack.

A business woman who makes fire.
quent trips abroad has evolved an ex-
cellent idea for keeping her gowns in
good condition. Her plan entails con-
siderable work at first, as she makes
pasteboard packing boards and covers
them with a cheap percale. When
these cases are slipped over the board
the ends are sewed up, and tapes to
fasten in the gown securely are sewed
to the cover at equal distances on each
side and on the ends and tie in the
center. The garment is thus held Sc
cure. In laying in the skirt all the
plaits, tucks and other fullness are
smoothed in place as 1t would natu-
rally hang. Each gown or skirt and
shirt waist has its pasteboard, that
has been cut just small enough to fit
inside the trunk. With this arrange
ment dress may be taken from the
trunk without disarranging any Of the
others.

Ice Cream Whims.

A block of ice cream covered with a
meringue, set in the oven to color and
served Immediately, is an easy device
to combine heat and cold in one food.
Yet another within is to roll some rich
paste very thin, cut in squares, put a
spoonful of firm ice cream in the cen
ter and fold the moistened edges and
pinch so that no heat can get in. Set
quickly into a very hot oven which
will bake the paste before it melts
the ice. Serve Instantly. This liking
for eating a combination Of tempera-
ture is further INDUCED by serving hot
apple pie or baked Indian pudding

WHY THEY LAUGHED.
A Chinese Accessory That Made All
the Mischief.

A girl whose long pongee coat has
been the admiration of her friends all
this season is seriously considering
never wearing it again. There is no
question as to the style and art of the
wrap, long, flowing affair with fasci-
mating plaits and big sleeves that float
in the smallest summer breeze. It's
decoration is a triumph, for the girl
HE'D herself to Chinatown and bought
embroideries to use as insects and pan
els, one of the most fascinating being
a black silk band not more than two
inches wide. Its length is about two
yards, and it is almost solidly covered
with embroidery IN old blues. At each
end is long black tassel. This band,
you see, has been put around the low
neck, so that the two ends fall free al
most to the bottom of the coat.
So far so good, but one day while
wearing the cloak she carried her hus-
bands collars to a Chinese laundry.
Being by no means a dull person, it
took her but a moment to see that all
laundry operations ceased as soon as
she entered and that she had become
an object of unqualified interest. Al
most simultaneously it dawned on her
why. 1t was her Chinese embroideries.
To the man waiting on her she said,
pointing to her coat trimmings:
'FYou recognize themY'
"Les, les" quoth he of the pigtail.
"Chinaman hold up trousers with tina" "
and he pointed to the beautiful long
narrow black embroidered band.
