Cleansing Powder Used
Instead of Soap on Face

When dust raised by spring winds
makes necessary some special cleansing
agent for the face, and there Is prejudice
against cold cream, emolient powders
may be substituted. i, These, besides
cleansing. sometimes have gentle bieach-
ing qualities which refine the skin with
out danger of injuring 1t.
Quite the best of these is made from
four and one half ounces each of blanch-
ed sweet almonds and dried ripe tonka
beans, two ounces Of powdered orris
root. one and one-half ounces of CASTLE
soap $50 old that it may be poWdereol,

rubbed together as though soap had been

face. which must also be wet before the
powder is applied. 1t Is rinsed OIL IN

A paste that is cleansing and bleaching

To Dry Mushrooms.
In a recent bulletin issued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture these
explicit directions for preserving older
field mushrooms by drying are given.
They may be used whole, in the way fresh
mushrooms are, after a preliminary soak
ing. Peel. but do not wash. as mush-
rooms that have been wet cannot be sue
cessfully dried.
The mushrooms that keep best are
those gathered dry. Wipe over with a
flannel cloth dipped In dry salt. then place
on boards or dry in racks only one deep
with the cup side down. they should be
turned every day. They must not be left
out during the night, as they absorb
moisture. They may also be dried on
wooden trays in warm room. When
dried by either method they must feel
dry to the touch. Finish in tine oven and

COOKING MUSHROOMS.

In cooking mushrooms simplicity should
rule. 1t is a great mistake to conceal
their delicate flavor with seasonings. One
of the incest ways to prepare them is to
peel. trim off the stalks and lay in a
porcelain-lined saucepan with table
spoonful of sweet butter. Let the juice be
gradually drawn out with the melting OF
the butter and the gradual heating of the
mushrooms. Then add as much cream or
milk as you have mushroom liquor. sim
.mer six minutes. season lightly with salt
and pepper and turn over delicately
Drowned slices Of toast.
Broiled Mushrooms.
Take large fresh mushrooms. with but
ter or olive oil enough to cover when the
butter is melted. Clean the mushrooms
and soak for half an hour in the oil or
butter. Then sprinkle lightly with salt
and lay them gils uppemost. on well
buttered gridiron. Let them broil over a
slow even fire until the caps are filled
with juice. then lay carefully on slices OF
brown toast put a bit of butter on each
mushroom and serve hot.
Baked Mushrooms.
Peel and remove the stems from good
sized mushrooms. Saute lightly with
butter seasoned with salt and pepper, lay
thickly over slices Of toast, which will
retain the juices as they exude, and bake
from fifteen to twenty minutes. When
ready TO serve add tablespoonful of hot
cream to each plate.
Stuffed Mushrooms.
Scrape out the inside Of the caps. chop
the stems that are too long to be left
standing and also the mushrooms that
are too small to fill. Mash with potato

probably give the property thorough
