Parboil two pairs of sweetbreads in
salted water to which a piece of gar
lie and onion have been added.
Throw into cold water with a little
lemon juice and let remain 20 minutes.
Remove all pipes, skins and fat. Put

boiled eggs, small piece of garlic. a
sprig of parsley, half a can of good
mushrooms, drained, and one truffie.
To this put half a teaspoonful of Wor-
cestershire sauce, a dozen drops of
tobasco, half teaspoonful of lemon
juice, good pinch Of paprika and
white pepper, a little mace and salt to
suit taste. Put over fire half cupful

T is not possible 10 say too much II

cially in this delightfully."- equabie
and moderate climate.
All sorts Of summer houses and
open air living rooms and sleeping
porches. which are attached TO ma
5ority Of the newer houses. show that
an appreciation Of the pleasures and
BENEFITS Of being out OF doors as much
Of the time as possible is becoming
very widespread.
AS q certain freshness in the air
makes the presence Of the sun desir-
able the pergola IS more popular than
any other form OF roof covering, and
when II is twined about by vines
through which the sunlight filters it
IS all that any one would wish TO have
between himself and the sky.
The pergola originated in Italy,
where it was a trellis or arbor stand
ing alone in the midst of the beau
tiful italian gardens. The modern
pergola was first used here in the
formal gardens copied from those OF
Italy which were attached to some OF
the residences of the very wealthy
but the idea recommended itself TO
the American home builder and was
used and adapted in a great variety
OF ways. some OF which were very far
removed from the Italian model.
California. sometimes called the
modern Italy. is peculiarly the place
for the pergola, and has taken most
kindly TO il. Here its rigid outlines
are soon clothed by luxuriant vines
which grow as they will nowhere else

Mrs. J. #. KinsIow, Santa Rosa, Cal.
To two cups of chopped cold chicken
add half a cup of chopped cold boiled
ham, small onion and four hard boiled
eggs chopped fine; season to taste with
pepper, salt and parsley and add two
tablespoonfuls of thick cream and stir
to a paste.
Take a quart of -four, to which add
scant teaspoonful of salt and tea
spoonful of baking powder, into which
work scant two thirds cupful of lard
and q third cupful butter; work as

each biscuit out thin and cover with

Then fold and place seam on bottom of

will rejoice in their freedom from that

These out of door living rooms are
generally paved with brick or tiles
The furniture is of rattan, both light
and suitable. as it will not mind an oc-
casional wetting; easy chairs and ham,
mocks abound, as well as little tables
and low stools and hanging baskets of
vines or flowers.
Sometimes the construction of the
room is such that easements of glass
can be set in at the sides and over the
top for the rainy season. When this
is done there is generally a big fire.

house, and with. blazing fire of logs
and the added warmth of plenty of rugs
and a few draperies, the room will take
on such a CHEEKY aspect, that the drear-
lest of rainy days can be spent there
with enjoyment.
In planning a living room of this
kind, it should be placed as near the
kitchen as possible. so that the serving
of the meals will not be a difficult mat
ter, for if it is too much trouble dining
out of doors will not be practiced often,
and one of the greatest pleasures Of
open air living will be lacking.

distributed, and this latter is a very
important point, for unless there are
plenty of open spaces in the pattern
so arranged as to ''ventilate" all parts
of 1T proportionately it will have a
heavy appearance and the design will
be half lost in the close massing.
It is not by any means always neces-
sary to stencil the whole pattern.
When the stems are a prominent fea-
ture in a conventionalized design, very
often only they are stenciled and all
the rest of the forms are done in en-
broidery. Or certain parts of the de-
sign are done in stenciling and the
remaining parts are embroidered
Although some materials take the
color better than others, almost any
fabric can be stenciled unless 1t has a
very rough and hairy surface or unless
1t is so soft and slazy that it will pull
out of shape during the process. The
principal points to be remembered in
order to do neat, clean cut work are
to use plenty of plotting paper under
the material and to take but a
very little color on your brush. Shaded
stenciling is seen on some of the sofa
pillows and scarfs, and this is done
by using the smallest possible amount
of color at first and going over the
darker portions two or more times

You would not allow your chrysanthe-
NUNS TO grow in clumps and bushes,
but would pick off all but one bud on
each plant and allow that alone TO
come TO maturity. You would set most
OF your plants separately, SO that the
ground around them could be culti-

there would be many differences in
your methods IL the flowers themselves

Germ
IT is safe 70 say that the average
home garden is not entirely devoted to
either one OF these purposes, but that a
combination Of both is the aim, and so
some plants are chosen for their effect
when growing and some for the beauty
OF their blossoms when seen close at
hand.
Certain vines and bushes and flowers
will be placed where they will add most
20 the attractiveness of the house and
grounds and some will be set out,
probably IN the back garden. in sep
srate rows with the bare earth showing
between them.
Often a certain portion OF the vege-
table plot is devoted TO flowers raised
for cutting: many Of the old fashioned
gardens were arranged in this way.
The flowers are always placed so that
the sun will have free access to them,

When this sort of open framework is
used for covering the sleeping porch

gola is associated with marble seats
and steps and balustrades. with statu-
ary and fountains and all that goes
to make an italian garden, but IN it's
adaptation the stateIiness Of its asso-
Citations has been left behind 1t has

twined and covered with roses or wis

purpose OF an arbor for the grape vine.
often it is scrambled over by plants
which simply furnish foliage without
blossoms. but almost always IL IS an
attractive feature Of the house or gar
den.
And IL any one doubts the popularity
of the pergola, let him so through cer-
tain parts OF Piedmont or Berkeley,
where one might almost suppose them
to be required by the building regula-
tions, their use Is SO nearly universal
In order that the nnattracttvs bars

as soon as possible, it Is q good plan
to obtain some roots OF the hop vine
from a florist; these will grow quickly
and make a temporary covering while
you are waiting for your slower per1na-

During the long rainless season the
fact that the pergola offers no protec-
tion from the elements is not in the
least a bar to its enjoyment.
In its translation from Italy to Cali
fornia many notifications have been
made in the pergola- There it is US
ually isolated in the garden, whereas
here it often forms part of the house
itself. sometimes placed above the
sleeping porch or a wide piazza. or in
its garden form extending out from
the house at right angles.
AS it is really but skeleton or
framework, it is only when it is COW
cred with vines that it becomes
thing of beauty, and for this reason
it ought not to be over elaborated.
Long straight lines upon which the
vines may cling and twine are far
better than Jig sawed rafters or orna-
mented posts.
If the pergola stands by itself in
the garden some care must be taken
with its setting. Occasionally one
sees a framework of this kind, bare
of vines and lacking any apparent
reason for being, standing alone in
the midst of a garden, or even disfig
uring an open bit of lawn. This is an
absurd misuse of the idea, and 1t is
so easily remedied that one would
think the next arbor day would bring
the school children to the spot to plant
vines which would cover the neglected
framework with a cloak like that of
charity.
Sometimes logs with the bark on
are used when the pergola is intended
to be a sort of summer house, and
nothing could harmonic better with

IT makes quite difference in planting
and arranging your garden what Its
purpose is 10 be. II the prime object
is to make an artistic setting for your
house and you are not going TO de-
prive the plants of their bloom until
they have ceased to be decorative you
will select varieties and viii arrange
them differently from the way you
would If quantities OF cut flowers were
the principal thing desired.
You would place the plants so that
each one would have plenty Of breath
ing space and so that each would re-
ceive just the amount OF sunlight which
IS best for it, whereas. IL the decorat-
i've effect were the main consideration,
you would probably mass them more
and not worry so much about the size
Of the individual blooms.
Then you would select varieties with
long stems and would pay more atten-
tion TO the shape Of the separate fow-
ers and their delicacy OF coloring than

the colored surfaces with widely
spaced darning stitches of silk adds to
the effect. The use of satin stitch,
either fiat or padded, for little dots

vorite expedient, and sometimes when

year that the stitch can be done very
rapidly. A new way OF using it Is TO
take the stitches slantfng instead OF
straight across the stems and scrolls
and even across the forms In some de-
signs. and this adds very much to the
attractfveness OF the effect. The
square pillow, lacing at the top.
shown in the illustration. is an ex-
ample Of this; only in parts Of the
large forms are the stitches taken
straight across. The material of
which this pillow is made is Peru
cloth.
Natural colored linens and Russian
crashes are used great deal for pillow
covers and other household embroid-
cries, and special weaves, such as Ba-
suta and Peru and basket cloths, are
also popular. In colors the burlaps and
craftsman stuffs and dyed linens are
favorites. One Of the most attractive OF
the new fabrics is silk poplin. This
seems especially suitable as a back
ground for the shining wood silks. The
color generally chosen is a graytsh tan
similar to the shade of the undyed
linen.
1t is probably as result OF the craze
for everything metallic, which Is so con-
spicuous a feature Of the fashions this
season, that gold thread has found It's
way into many OF the embroidertes.

never allowed to become conspicuous.
The long cushion illustrated has some
of it's conventional forms outlined with
gilt thread; the lilies are worked In
several shades OF dull yellow, and the
material of the background Is a green
burlap. The gold thread is always
couched on the surface and Is never
taken through the material except at
the starting and finishing points.
The use of cords and bratds for out
lining in place OF either couching or
outline stitch is also to be seen In the
embroideries this year. Quite a variety
of different cords are sold for this pur-
pose, so that something can be chosen

of an inch on a card for a marker and
use this to measure the stitches until
the eye becomes accustomed to the
spacing, for regularity is the princi-
pal charm of the WORK.
Two threads of heavy twisted silk
are generally used. although for very
bold effects three are sometimes
taken; these may be of different shades
of the same color or of contrasting
colors. A knot is made and the heavy
silk is brought up through the mate
rial at the starting point, then an
other needle is threaded with a finer
silk and this is also brought up from
the under side. A little stitch is
taken across the threads of floss or
twisted silk, catching them down to
the material and three-eighths of an
inch farther on another similar
stitch is taken. The heavy threads
lie entirely on the upper surface OF
the fabric and only the stitches of
fine silk show on the under side.
Although its province has been In
vaded outline stitch has not been en-
tirely superseded by COUGHING, and
it is often seen on other parts of the
same design in which the latter is
used.
Satin stitch is one of the standard
methods of embroidery, always in evil
dence, which seems to be indispen-
sable. So many of the heavy silks
and fiosses are used for the work this
times during the cooking. Remove
to hot platter and surround with car
rots and turnips, cut in strips two
inches long.

which Is In keeping with the color and
character of each piece of work. A
black silk cord has been used for out
lining the stems in the green denim
table scarf shown in the illustration.
These stems. by the way. have first been
stenciIed in old rose and dull yellow.
The shaded circles are padded and
worked in gobeIin cottons in blue. Leaf

fringe at the ends is made OF the gobe-
lin cottons knotted into the material.
A fringe of some kind Is used to fn-
ish the ends of many OF the scarfs and
sofa pillows. Sometimes IL Is made OF
the material itself. raveled and knotted
or tied with embroidery silks. and
sometimes it is separate fringa

1T is coming to be the time of year
when people are beginning to think
about the gifts which they intend TO
bestow upon their friends for Christ
mas. The woman who can embroider
has al her command means of making
an endless number of pretty things,
which will probably be more appre-
ciated by those who receive them than
anything she could buy
There is no way more effectual
for stretching the contents of slen-
der purse to cover the requirements
of gift giving when one has a long list
of friends to remember than by the
use of the needle. Often the materials
of the most charming embroideries are
very Inexpensive, and it is only the
work and the taste used in creating
them that gives them value.
Many of the present methods of en-
broidery are very rapid and it is pos
sible to get quite an elaborate effect
and f1osses which are used fill up the
embroidered forms quickly. so that
often sofa pillow can be worked in
couple of evenings and one end of a
scarf may be embroidered in half that

combinations of these two methods are
made with others, so that there is no
lack of variety in the pieces of work
in which they figure.
Stenciling is in itself very artistic
method of ornamentation, one which
has always been used more or less
and which is sure to continue in favor
with those who appreciate good dec
Grafton. OF course it is capable of
abuse, but the conventionality of the
work makes even its worst examples
less offensive than they would be if
a more naturalistic treatment were en-
ployed
The main thing in stenciling, the
thing to which it is not possible to
