mon, cloves ard nutmeg. Use enough
sweet cider to make moist. then add a
bowl of sugar and an even teaspoonful
salt Scald well and put away in a
add a few whole raisins, chopped nut
meats or any jelly you have on hand.
1t seems as tho half the people you
know have taken to eggs as a steady
diet They eat them at least once a
day, and they are looking about for all
kinds of good methods for cooking
them. Eggs au gratin make dish that
is most acceptable every now and then.
1t is made by chopping very fine an
anchovey, shallot, and a sprig of pars-
ley. These are mixed with three yolks
of eggs to a small cupful of bread
crumbs and two ounces of butter, then
seasoned with salt and pepper.
A hot dish should be ready, well but
tered, and the mixture should be laid
over the bottom of 1t. The dish is
placed in the oven. and slightly brown
ed. Then half dozen eggs are broken
into separate cups and put neatly on
the dish, otter which it is returned to
the oven for three minutes until the
whites have set. This should be served
Immediately.
There is no sight more painful than
that of girl SO far forgetting her pride
and dignity as to run after q man.
She may fondly imagine that no one
sees thru her manuvering, but she is
much mistaken. The man sees thru
it; everybody sees thru it; and nine
times out OF 10 it is fruitless chase.
Any man with an ounce of spunk
likes to do his own counting. He likes
to seek. not to be sought; and the mo-
ment a girl makes herself too easy the
chase loses its zest.
You may not be the type of girl to
attract men, but, believe me, running
after them will not help matters.
If you cannot win their love. at least
you can command their respect. If you
run after them you will win neither.
You have your woman's privilege and
right to try and make yourself attrac-
tive in the eyes of men. Use that in
any modest, well-bred way.
Make yourself pretty; be gentle and
bright as You can, but do not lower
yourself in the eyes of everybody by
being a man-chaser.
A good way of using Vienna rolls
that do not yield shapeiy slices for
toast is to dig out the soft crumb and
fill the inside of the roll with a soft
other meat. Put the rolls. thus filed,
into the oven, and pour about them a
good gravy. Cover, and heat to scald-
ing, but do not let them simmer into
insipidity.
Serve on hot dish, and pour gravy
over them.
Hopelessly stale "heels" and crusts
should be put into the oven, dried
thoroly and crushed with the rolling
pin into fine dry crumbs. These Should
be kept in a covered jar to await the
call for Dreaded chops, scallops, bread |
and dozens Of other occasions
OF active usefulness. The half loaves
and whole rolls may be converted into
toast and baked Welsh rarebits.
Darning stockings is never a very
welcome task. and too often where
there Is a large family the task seems
almost endless. The following method
will insure less darning, because the
darns being more secure will last long
er: Before beginning to darn hole,
tack q piece Of coarse net tightly to the
over the hole, then darn over
the net and be sure to darn firm into
the stocking as well, to keep the darn
firm. The net makes such good foun-
dation that the work Is more quickly
done, and the result is a much neater
darn than one done in the old way.

punch, which she will undoubtedly
serve to her debutante friends when
she comes OUT year hence at the
White House:
Miss Taft's punch may be made by
boiling together for five minutes a pint
of water, pound of sugar, and the
chopped rind Of lemon. Strain the
fluid and slice two bananas into it while
it is hot. Add grated pineapple and
quarter pound of stoned cherries.
Then squeeze the Juice of six lemons
into the bowl shortly before serving.
But that isn't all. for a block of ice
must be placed In the bowl and two
quarts of soda water poured over II
before the fruit mixture is put In Slice
dozen big strawberries and drop them
into the bowl, stirring vigorously. The
result is said to be drink fit for god
desses, to say nothing of school girls.
