Interrupted constantly by numer-
Gus orders from he city and without
the help OF an assistant. City Engi-
neer l.. A. Washington has little
hope of completing the block map
for city property assessment before
another years tipe.
A part OF the fnap has been made
but 1t Is tediods undertaking and
requires careful work. The small
portion that has been completed may
be used In the assessment for the
coming year, but City Assessor j. w.
Orr Will not have the opportunity OF
working with the finished map until
the fan OF 1919. when the city engi-
neer expects to have the work done
The present system Is inadequate and
in many instances property is not
listed at half Of It's real value. The
board Of supervisors therefore is
hindered and not able TO obtain the
real figures. With the use of the
block map this trouble will be ehmi-
mated and an equitable assessment
placed on all property in the city
This will increase the city's revenue
to some extent and Mayor Smith and
the general council are awaiting the
maps completion with anxiety. Many
complaints from property owners at
over-assessment are received almost
regularly by the general council and
referred to the board OF supervisors
for investigation. This is another
trouble that the block map will wipe
away
CITY Assessor Orr Will begin work
on the assessment for 1910 in abou:
three weeks. whit the board viii get
together the first of September. The
work will require several months.

years ago. Now, the woman who lives
fifty miles from fresh fruit will out Of
her storeroOna, bring canned fruits that
will be used or form the foundation,
for the finishing touch to the dinner or
luncheon. And not only desserts can
be formed of both fresh and canned
fruits, but those delicious connections
known as fruit cocktails" that are
welcomed as an accompaniment to the
luncheon.
Then there are fruit mixtures which
are having enthusiastic followers. When
dressed with vinegar and oil, lemon
juice and oil, or any tart dressing, it is
a salad; when dressed with a sweet
mixture it is called a compete. Do not
make the mistake of serving a compete
as a salad.
Allow a halved canned peach for each
guest and arrange in the center of a
dish, placing slice of banana in each
center, after dipping each slice in lemon
juice. Arrange halved sliced pineapple
overlapping each other about the
peaches, and outside of this layer place
canned cherries or halved, seeded Ma
laga grapes. Simmer one pint of the
peach, pineapple and cherry juices until
like strained honey; add a little lemon
juice to give zest, and when it cools
pour over the fruit and let all stand TO
become chilled before serving.

Fruit Compete
Dear to the ear of children, women

tiers not how delicious the substantial
menu preceding has been, there is more
or less mental speculation on what the
dessert will consist of. Grown-ups dis
tinctly remember the charm that this
word held for them; the delight with
which it was hailed when brought to
the table, no matter how simple the con-
coction served.
The fruits that are offered fresh and
canned during the year make this part
of the housekeeper's work more easily
disposed of than was the case a few
years ago. Even the advertisements

cold water to cover, adding, if the flavor
is liked, a little minced onion. Bring

than ripple.
Fried Food
For a long time fried food was under
ban. Just because it was so very
good, sometimes, she decided there must
be right way of frying. She expert
mented with fats first and decided that
butter was the poorest of all, because
It burned" before hot enough to cook
the food. The result was either a strong
taste or greasy food. Olive-oil was best
but its first cost was great. She decided
on a combination of three pounds beef
suet and one pound lard. Beef drippingS
and bacon fat were always saved. The
chicken fat shortened the crust of meat
pies.
To clarity the fat she either fried po-
tatocs in it, allowed 1t to settle and
drained it off carefully, or else she put
the cold fat into the kettle, added cold
water and then melted the fat slowly
When cold the clean solid fat was
taken off Fish fat was never used for
frying anything else.
The next lesson was to learn the tenn

WHAT TO WEAR
Suggestions for the Solution of the Ever Present
Problem of Dress

A hostess does not wear gloves 81 an
informal afternoon tea, or for the usual
days at home" but may wear them on
the occasion of a very large formal "st
home" Women or young girls who pre-
side at a tea-table and pour tea never
wear gloves.
At large evening party or dance, q
hostess should wear gloves, but she never
does so when receiving before dinner
or a luncheon.
Dressing for the Theater
Dresses for the theater may be similar
to those worn when going to an after
noon tea or reception; that is, they may
be of fine cloth. Pretty waists of lace,
or with lace or chiffon yoke, may be used
for the theater with separate skirt of silk
or cloth. Hats are removed at a the
alter. and the custom is TO hold ones hat
in the lap In box in theater women
need not remove their hats, because in a
box the hats do not interfere with the
view OF others in the rear
More elaborate gowns may be worn
for the theater, if preferred. These may
be of silk or lace. but these are not worn
when walking and must be covered by
=
high in the neck for the theater or for
dining in public, and hats are not re-
moved when dining in restaurant.
Street Wear
For street wear in winter. for shop
ping. for informal morning visits to init
mate friends, orsfor church wear, cloth
tailor-made dress of quiet color. Z hat
not too large, gloves of tan dogskin, or
Of undreSsed kid, gray or tan, and calf
skin boots, should be chosen.
Economy in Wardrobe

for the season, than 10 have many of n

where else in the world The reasons
of it are very easy to see, and reside in
those circumstances which distinguish
American life and customs from those of
other nations. 1t is not the stimulating
air or climate, for we have every known
climate. 1t is not an inheritance, but
it is the striving induced by surrounding
conditions-the desire TO be something
supposed by the individual to be better
and beyond that which he has or his
parents had
The Old World is somewhat ike one
of those planets in which, after ages Of
struggles, everything has come to q
stop. Here there IS constant ferment,
and. whether one will or no, he is drawn
into the struggle, and the wear and tear
of it after a time frazzies the nerves.
Nervousness Disease
Many people think that nervousness is
simply an exhibition of lrritability which
shows itself in an unusual and unneces-
sary display OF the emotions, a quick
ness OF temper and a peppery outpour-
ing Of words. These are the symptoms
OF d certain form nervousness, and
possibly NAV not be a display OF nerv-
business at all. but 4 result of a naturally
cross-grained disposition.
General Symptoms
The nervousness of worry, overworl
and effort are different. Sleeplessness
and iossfo appetite are the first synp-
toms; indigestion follows, then comes a
lack of power TO concentrate the mind.
These are the prominent symptoms OF
the nervous breakdown, the danger sig
mails which one should take note OF.
Man should feel, IN common With the
animals. a need for food at stated times,
and have the desire for sleep and the
ability 10 do so. If appetite is lacking
and the rhythm Of sleeping and waking
IS tangled. ihea the mind and reason,
which Is said 10 distinguish man from

style and material which will be appro-

Cooked Cucumbers
Fried cucumber is another deficacy
that all may enjoy now that these vege-
tables are sold at so moderate a price.
To prepare them, peel the cucumbers,
slice lengthwise, and let them lie in
sailed water from half to three-quarters
of an hour. At the end of this time
drain them thoroughly, roll in egg and
bread-crumbs, and fry until attractively
Drowned, in butter. Serve with tiny bits
of lemon as an accompaniment.
If the cucumbers are to be served as
an entree, cut them m halves length
wise-after peeling thenl-and remove
the seeds with a spoon. Drop them for
about a minute and a half into boiling
water to which some salt and little
vinegar has been added; then remove,
pour over them some cold water and
wipe dry. When this process has been
completed, fill the cucunbers with a
stuffing made as follows: To half a
pound of finely-chopped chicken add half
a cupful Of well-soalled bread-crunlbs,
two beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls Of
melted butter. and pepper and salt 10

full, as the stuffIng will swell when
cooking.
Put the two halves Of each cucumber
together, tie them with Irvine, and put
them in q pan with enough chicken
broth, or good stock, to half cover.
Cook very slowly until the cucumbers
are tender. When nearly done. season
with butter, pepper and salt, and when
the vegetables are finally ready 70 serve,

are in uncertainty as to the
appropriate dress for various occasions
that a few general suggestions may be
of interest.
Gowns for Day Weddings
AT day weddings, either at church or
at home, at wedding receptions, lunch
cons, afternoon teas, or card-parues
women guests wear reception or visiting
dresses, and hats and white kid gloves
Hats are not removed at any OF these
day affairs.
II wearing a heavy outer wrap or long
scat When driving in winter, this is taken
off and left in the drcssing-room at re-
CeptIOn or tea; but if one is wearing q
little coat, which is part Of ones recep-
ton dress, II need not be removed, and
one does not take off ones furs. A
short visit only is made at tea, or re-
ception, and for this reason one does not
remove outer wraps. unless they are
cumbersome.
1t is quite allowable to go TO a tea, or
card-party, in a plain tailOr-made street
dress. if one prefers. Wraps are re
moved at a Card-party, as guests are eX-
pected 10 remain two or three hours.
Gloves are taken of when taking ones
seat at table at sitting down wedding
breakfast a luncheon, or a card-party.
Gloves are not removed at a Standing
up" collation. at wedding reception.
Church Weddings
If wedding is in church, the brides
mother wears a hat and does not remove it
when returning home for the reception.
Her dress may be OF finest cloth, or OF
silk or velvet. The color chosen is usu-
ally gray or mauve, although any pre-
ferred color may be worn.
Bridesmaids wear hats at day we'd
dings, or they may wear short wells OF
tulle, fastened with small wreaths OF ar
tIhcial flowers.
The Hostess Gown
A hostess and those receiving with her
at an afternoon tea, wear dresses high IN
the neck. The materials may be silk,
or lace, or fine wooden fabrics Black
lace or dark silk may be chosen BY older
women Young girls wear white or
hght-colored dresses Of chiffon or other
material
