Something About Vegetables

Blanching as a cooking process is en-
tirely different from the bleaching or
blanching of green vegetables in the
garden, and is often convenient, since
blanching can be done at any time, and
the cooking completed IN u very short
time when the dish is to be served. 1t

and improves the qaaIity. Have

WYMAN ARRESTED
BY CLEVER RUSE
Former Secretary of the Cali
fornia Boiler Works Charged
With Embezzlement
Disappeared From Old Haunts
and Is Found Hiding in
Flat in Oakland

H. C. Wyman. secretary of the Call
fornia boiler works, III Fremont
street. who is alleged to. have stolen
upward of $1,000 from the concern,
was arrested in Oakland last evening
and turned ,over to the San Francisco
police.
Wyman was taken into custody on a
warrant issued yesterday at the IN
stance of J. C. Lemmer, representing
the California boiler works, who
charged the secretary of the firm with
having embezzled 500.
When an examination of Wyman's
accounts was made several weeks ago
it was discovered he was short aboRr
$4,000. Wyman lived at 1921 High
street, Alameda. but after the diselos-
ure of shortages in histbooks he dis
appeared. Wymans family moved
from Alameda TO 467 East Seventeenth
street, Oakland. where the arrest was
made last evening. The house was To-
Gated by Detective r. V. McSorIey Of
the Oakland police. who learned the
address from the driver of the van
that moved Wyman's household eff
fects. McSorley called at the house
and said that he had a message to
deliver to Wyman. The latter came to
the door in answer to a call from a
woman, and the detective seized him
and turned him over to Sergeant Muir
ply and Detective Bell of this city.
Wyman had been in hiding for several
weeks. Friends of the accused man
say he spent the money along the
great white way in San Francisco see
ing the sights and enjoying the pleas
ures of the night life.
At the city prison last evening Wy
man, while admitting he had spent
some of the firms money. denied that
he haT crar n IoI a or laf ha haH
been leading a riotous life. He de-
clared he had spent the money for
medical services and medicines for his
wife.

As to Puhlic Health
The Toilet

Dainty neckwear is one of the essen
tials of a woman's toilet, and here are
some ideas which can be worked out
at home. Make a separate collar to be
worn with thin white blouse of very
fine null in thread tucks, edged with a
tiny border of black messaline at top
and bottom. Run line of this also
up the back. and fasten with tiny round
silk buttons and cord loops. Make a
little bow for the front of plated null
edged with black.
This stock is particularly effective
with all white suits and carries out
the color scheme if black pumps and
stockings are worn and a white hat
trimmed with black SATIN.
1t is still the fashion to finish the
center of the little bows worn in front
OF stocks with motif of heavy lace
Another pretty idea in neckwear is
to make a large bow of messaline.
with large, equal Loops s,7P an, and ends fin
at all edges These bows are dis
tinctive and can be worn at the base
of the stock, or with thin turnover
collar.
Still another idea is to wear tiny
band of black velvet or of any other
color preferred, around the base OF the
stock, finishing, it in front with two
Joined in front with a brooch or bow
knot of jet, or a bar pin.
To Freshen Summer Hats-Toward
the end OF the season, when summer
hats are sad and drOoplng and dust
laden. they may be wonderfully fresh
ened by various simple methods. For
instance black chip will look like
new If wiped with an old soft silk
handkerchief and then given a light
application of pure olive oil.
Co1ored hats, unless very much faded
will respond readily to treatment of
ammonia. Cover the hat with a cloth
wrung out of half pint of hot water.
, to which a teaspoonful of ammonia
has been added. Then with warm
iron placed over the cloth press the
brfrn into shape. If the color is too far
gone to be restored by this process a
tube of oil paint and gasoline will
make a dye that is easy to apply.
| Flowers can also be restored by din
ping into this dye. or the petals can
be touched up with small camers

Velvet bows can be given new life
without removing them from the hat
| by the use of curling iron. The iron
should be quite hot and then loosely
covered with a wet cloth; then -
