The Motor Car.

Mrs. Andrew Cueno, who has driven an auto
mobile over $4,000 miles without mishap, tells in
Country Life in America, why women, generally do
not assume responsibility of the machine One rea-
she gives is that manufacturers are not building
adapted to womens use; then, too, considerable
strength is required to crank and to attend to
tire troubles. The unpleasant attitude of other driv
may have something to do with it. also the diff
fculty that most women experience in understand
ing machinery, and destination to do any work that
will soil hands or clothing. She says:
"The point of this article is not to show that there
obstacles in the way of a woman's driving
car, but rather that these obstacles are not insur
mOuntable, and a matter of fact much more
imaginary than real, and that there is good rea-
son why thousands of women should sit quietly in
the tonneau and let the men have the keenest enjoy
ment OF the greatest sport of to-day.

If she is timd afraid of excitable tempera-

those she may have with her, and she has moral
right to drive car To be a good driver she should
be sefreliant and quick act keeping her nerves as
well the machine under absolute control every
second she is at the wheel or steerng-lever.
ITO gain the best results and to learn the first rud

proper power as it may be needed and to become
familiar with the rules of the road and the many

After having mastered the e1ementes she should try

heard woman who came along with a sample of
cloth in her hand ask how she could have one
of those painted that color. She didn't care

the color and upholstery must match her new suit.
That woman would probably not be success as

Woman and Voting.

Mrs Maragret Deland, who knows a great deal
about many things and writes much about nearly
all of them, declares that there are some women
who mo more fit to vote than the men are"
suggests the Lewiston (Idaho) Tribune The sort
of women who unfit to vote are probable those
who do not know and do not care what the para
mount issue is what made it paramount, who made
it so, or why.
To vote intelligently must follow advice
or study the issues and candidates for themselves
Women will have to do one of these two things

COLONIAL DINNER MENU.

It is not difficult to plan Colonial
dinner. All the foods eaten then We're
rich, heavy and hearty. Of course you
would not care to have the variety OF
foods placed on the table then, but
can make your selection of one or
two of each kind.
There was grand centerpiece for
the table of a cake or gelatine deco
rated with cakes, etc, then all the
meals, vegetables, pastries and sweets
were placed on. the table. bowls, plat
tiers and vegetable dishes being in
abundance. In the earlier Colonial

CANDY RECIPES.

NUT GLACES.-To glace. nuts and
certain kinds of fruit nothing is need
ed but sugar and water and little
patience. Boil a pound of sugar with
a gill of water and teaspoonful of
vinegar until it threads. Drop nuts,
figs or grapes into this syrup. one at
a time, dipping them out with but
cred fork and dropping them on but
tered tin to dry. Care must be taken
not to shake the syrup more than
necessary, and it IS necessary to work
rapidly. as the syrup should be re-
moved from the fire before the nuts
or fruits are dipped, and it soon hard
ems.
Keep the pan containing the syrup
in another of hot water. and it may
be returned to the fire thus protected
to defer the hardening.
A second dipping greatly improves
the appearance of the candy. 1t
should be eaten fresh. as it soon be-
comes sticky with changes in the at
mosphere.
Scotch Kisses.--A delicious candy
may be made by dipping fresh marsh
mallows into syrup according to d.
rections given for nut glaces.
The powdery coating of the marsh
manows should be. as far as possible,
removed with a napkin before Dip
ping. Marshmallows dipped in any Of
the taffy syrups are extremely good.
MarzRan or Marchpane.-Blaneh a
pound of Jordan almonds and pound
them nearly to a powder. In the abb
sence of a mortar a chopping bowl
and an old-fashioned potato masher
Will answer the purpose.
Add three-quarters Of a pound OF
confectioner's sugar and a few drops
of orange-fower water or of orange
juice.
Beat all together until a smooth
paste is formed. Dust a little powder
ed sugar on bread board and roll
out the paste, shaping it as you please.
Brush it with fine sugar. wet with
little orange water and bake very
light brown in slow oven.
From the same paste small pieces
may be rolled with the hand into
round balls and dipped in cinnamon
mixed with light brown sugar.
The flavor Of this marchpane Is much
like that which is sold at Christmas
for about 81 a pound.
Coffee Creams.-Boil together half a
cup of strong coffee and two cups OF
sugar until the syrup strings when 1t
drips from a spoon. Remove from the
fire and beat hard until it is creamy.
Stir in a cupfuI OF chopped nuts and
pour into a shallow buttered tin to
cool. Cut into squares when quite
cold

catching the garland with bows of
pale green satin ribbon. Arrange
white sweet peas in pyramid form in
the center of the table. with maiden
hair fern as a base. Do not draw the
shades but have it a daylight lunch
con. Good soft shell crabs can be had
of leading Honolulu grocers.

Buffet Lunches
W~~~~W~~~USJ

A hostess declared that she had
struggled so much at buffet Iuncheons
to hold her plate, gloves, ETC., that her
guests should not be similarly affict-
ed. She recently gave three buffet
1uncheons, entertaining seventy guests
each day. She had individual tables
made. like pedestals. Two pieces of
wood, twelve inches square and three
fourths of an inch thick were nailed
to either end of an upright piece.
The wood was stained cherry color
These were set in front of each guest
who put her feet on the lower piece
of board and this held the table firm
while her plate was set on top. A lace
paper dolly was placed on the top,
pasted in the middle to hold it on
This scheme worked so successfully
that the hostess has decided to keep
her individual tables and use them
for ball suppers, for pedestals to hold
palms and potted plants for decora-
ton and in different ways. For her
buffet luncheon she served: Sherry
punch. made by filling a glass nearly
full of crushed ice. mashed pineapple,
a little lemon and orange juice, and
then filling it with sherry; cream soup
with celery and crackers; Dreaded
oysters with potato apples and sherry
in sherry glasses; Waldorf salad of
celery and apples. The ices were serv-
ed in tiny flower pots with a bit of
asparagus fern in the top. You can
easily have your flower pots made of
chocolate with a flower stuck in the
top, and have your cakes in the shape |
of flowers. The ladies do not remove
their hats. at a buffet luncheon They |
leave only their outer wraps in the |
dressingroom, and retain their hats
and gloves. taking off their gloves |
when luncheon is served.

THE MAN WITH A BAD LIVER.

When we remember that our
thoughts and actions are directly de-
pendent upon the kind of blood that
is passed up to the brain by the liver
and stomach it is easy to see how a
bad liver may pollute a mans think
ing and poison his mind. Without the
blood there is no mind, The minute
it ceases to permeate the cells of the
brain all thinking stops and what is
sometimes called the soul of man
passes out. 1t is difficult to persuade
the average person to see the very
close and intimate connection between
the liver and poem or a sermon or
an essay or newspaper editorial.
And what shall the person with a
bad liver eat? What dietary shall he
adopt to atone for his past sins against
the liver? Pills and saline cathartics
will not cure the sluggish liver. They
merely aggravate the disorder by UNI
natural and injurious stimulation. The
only salvation for the. person with a
torpid liver is through a changed sys-
tenn of dietetics, combined with ex-
ercise in the outdoor air, calisthenics
and deep breathing. The person with
a bad liver should habitually practice
deep and long breathing, filing the
lungs full at each inhalation. This not
only gives oxygen to the blood, in
creasing its red corpuscles, but the,
process of expanding the lungs has a
effect upon alimentation
which is very desirable where consti-
patton is present as result of slug
gish liver. The curative dietary must
consist principally of nerve or brain
food including fish and a reasonable
amount of beef, with generous quanti-
ties of the cereal foods and the fruits
that are rich in acids. In warm
it is best to abstain from
milk altogether. In fact many people
are made bilious by drinking milk.
After a person has reached the age
Of forty he should let milk entirely
alone as a drink if his liver exhibits
the slightest tendency toward torpidi
ty. Butter and vegetable fats, olive
oil, boiled rice, baked apples, baked
potatoes, graham or whole wheat
bread, soft boiled eggs. all constitute
a safe and nourishing diet for the |
bilious persons.

Gently said in an interview:
Il order may life from hour to hour.
1 know how much nature can do, and
L meet her demands. I rise promptly
at $50 every morning and take a cold
plunge. Before the chill of the icy
water can reach the blood. 1 exercise
all the muscles vigorously, and take
long deep breaths of fresh air from
an open window, no matter what the
temperature is. Then with my whole
body aglow and tingling, I sit down
to a steaming cup of coffee and hot
rolls. This stimulates me against any
possible reaction from the shock of
the cold plunge or possible depression
from exercise.

come, and be ready for any strain up
on my power of body or mind.
Though my work is spread over ten
hours, eat a hearty luncheon and
substantial dinner at strictly regular
intervals. 1 take four hours recrea-
ton in the evening and get seven hours
sound slumber which is all any man
requires. Sound slumber is worth
more than twelve hours of broken re-

and wonderful strength to the
fact that he began life as a poor farm
er's boy and worked at the hardest
kind of manual labor. This strength
is all needed in his operations.

THE CARE OF FOOD.

Many cooks and housekeepers do not
realize the Importance of keeping food
covered. Many articles of food are
ready absorbers of gases, and after
standing uncovered for an hour or two
are positively harmful to take into the
stomach.
Uncovered milk and butter are a
menace to family health. They should
never be kept in damp or musty
place or in cellar where there are
decaying vegetables or near fish,
onions or any odorous substances. 1t
is wise plan to always keep a dish
of pulverized charcoal near where
milk and butter are kept. Charcoal is
an absorber of gases and will purify
the atmosphere where unwholesome
gases are liable to exist. The charcoal
should be often renewed. Butter AMI
milk utensils should never be used
for any other article of food. The
fine flavor of good butter and milk is

put. into dishes which have been used
for odorous articles of food.
Flour absorbs doors readily; it
should be kept closely covered in
cool, dry, well ventilated room, where
the temperature never falls to the
freezing point
Jellies. jams. etc. absorb poisonous
gases, and should be kept closely COW
cred
All fruit should be washed and par
ed before eating or cooking. Berries,
grapes, etc, which are not pared
should be washed. Upon fruit there
is often an accumulation of impurities
in the form of dust
Water which has been standing I'M
covered a few hours or over night
should never be used for drinking or
culinary purposes. A receptacle OF
water standing uncovered in a poorly
ventilated room will in a few hours
absorb enough foul gases and orga mic
impurities to render it utterly filthy.

LAUNDERING DRAWN WORK.

When your drawn work table cover
needs washing. take a strip Of muslin
two inches wide: sew it across the four
sides Of the piece to be laundered, US
ing the sewing machine with long
stitch. The strips Of muslin are to
prevent making holes in the lunch
cloth by the teeth Of the streteher.
Adjust the lace curtain stretchers to
whatever size this makes the lunch
cloth and put in the frames, Just as
one would a lace curtain. after wash

dry remove from stretchers, carefully
rip off the muslin strips, and press
with hot iron without dampening.
