DINING ROOM WALLS

The prettiest dining room walls are
those decorated with china instead OF
pictures, for this treatment gives dis
tinctlon from any other room. Pieces
selected for the walls must of neces-
sity be striking. either in color or
shape, preferably both. They may be
large or small, for, odd though it may
seem, there is no difficulty in attach
ing even a heavy piece securely.
With plate racks around the walls
we are all familiar, and yet they grow
tiresome. But unless the reach OF
wooden shelf is made too long they can
be most attractive.
placed between two windows consists
of a shelf fifteen inches at its widest IN
the middle, narrowing down to SIX
inches. and then one at either corner.
The swell thus made gives plenty or
room for holding a large salad BOWL
Ten inches below is another shelf nav
ing a serpentine front and of the same
inches wide placed around the edge
holds the dishes in place.
For hanging plates there are light
weight racks which do not show. Brass
hooks hold cups by the handles. II
plates or platters are placed upright
on shelves 1t is most important that
thew should be secured from slipping,
either by narrow strips of wood tackled
about two inches from the back, the
plates being put behind these, or by
grooves in the shelf.
China selected for decorative pur-
poses should have little white about it
and the patterns must be large in size,
as we'll as bold in design. Some of the
so-called cottage" figures are partic-
ularly effective, while old blue willow
is lovely. Real old Canton, and even
the reproductions, are especially suited
to walls, SO intense and satisfactory is
the blue.
Another not uncommon Chinese ware
in which the china is covered with fig
ures and landscapes done in many col
ors is among the best that can be Sc
lected for the purpose. French chinas,
because of their dellcacy, must, as a
rule be sparingly used, for they fail
in effectiveness. Nevertheless cup,
bowl or plate of fine porcelain, If placed
to advantage, rather low where the eye
may appreciate its beauty, will rank
as an ornament.
China, like pictures. must be chosen
and placed with discretion, in order
that no inharmonious effects may be
produced. 1t Is not advisable to mix
different makes any more than it is to
mingle different subjects in pictures,
and for the same reason-they clash.
China ware and French together are
bad taste, whereas China alone or delft
alone or grouped in different parts of
the room is successful.

WAYS ABOUT THE HOUSE

Some women keep on hand a sheet Of
clean glass to use for protecting pud-
dings or jellies from dust Or germs
when standing on a window sill or out
doors to cool.
To peel oranges pour scalding water
over tFtm and let them stand five min
utes. You will save time in peeling
them. The thick white skin that is so
hard to get off will come off with the
outside peeling and the fruit will be
ready to slice.
The busy housewife who breads darn
ing day may not know that paraffin
rubbed on the heels of stockings re-
duces friction and saves many a Jagged
hole.
Waf1es are much lighter If made
with sour cream and the batter kept
rather thin. To eat with them try
chicken gravy or cinnamon and sugar
mixed, or Jumps of maple sugar melted
down and served hot.
A woman who always has delicious
little cakes and cookies on hand keeps
cut lemon or orange in the jar with
them to give a "faraway'' and delight
full flavor.

IkT like to look at and talk to that
woman" said one man to an
"A other not long ago, because she
is so distinctively herself. Her indi-
viduality stands out cameo clear
against the mass of feminine individ-
uality which confronts one in this day
and age, and is restful to say the
least"
A glance showed why this man had
liked to look at her. "Restfur' de-
scribed her exactly. There was moth
ing artificial or upholstered about her.
and she did not look as if she had
been strained through sieve into her
clothes.
Her figure was not one to look well
in the serpentine effects that have
lately been so much the rage, and this
woman had sense enough not only to
realize the fact, but to keep it in
mind when she had her clothes made.
Her gown was of good material, and
1t was well cut, but to suit her indi-
viduality, not to conform to the rage"
of the day. Her throat was not suited
to low and diaphanous draperies and,
knowing this fact, the woman whom
the man liked to look at wore her
laces high and close, held in place by
a pretty jeweled neck clasp.
There was but little trimming on the
gown, but what was there was rich
and effective. 1t belonged exactly
where it was placed, and did not give

WOMEN EMINENT AS BIOLOGIST

Mabel Bishop, who has been appoint
ed instructor in biological science In
the Womens college of Baltimore, af-
fords a striking example of the fitness
of women for higher education. She
received the degree of bachelor of arts
in Wellesley and the master or arts
degree in Smith. She was assistant for
two years in the department of pathol-
ogy in Cornell university Medical
school; she taught ZOOLOGY for two
years in Smith college and she will go
to the Womens college after spending
a year as instructor in cytology and
embryology in the biological laboratory
at Cold Spring Harbor. Asked If he
advocated equal suffrage, Miss Bishop
replied: IT might advocate it If had
time to investigate it."

MAPLE SUGAR CAKE

There is nothing more delicious than
the flavor of maple sugar, and the
cake for which a recipe is here given
is well worth trying: One teaspoon
full of baking powder mixed into five
cupfuls Of flour, three cupfuls of gran
ulated maple sugar, one cupful of
butter, the yolks of five eggs, one
cupful of sweet milk. Cream the
sugar and butter together, beat in the

The crossing from France to Eng

the day when such flights will cease
to cause newspaper mention. AS the

their development would seem to pro-

HOMEMADE TOWELS

The careful housewife will find that
she may have even an excess of towels
at quite small expense if she will fin
ish the ends herself, instead of buying
the fringed or bordered towels. Four
teen yards of damask toweling will
make one dozen towels, and six of
these might be finished with hem
stitching and the other half dozen
scalloped. Each towel may be cut
forty-two inches long, which will leave
ample room for either a hem or a
neat scalloped finish.

trouble. An autopsy held Tuesday
disclosed the fact that a clot of
blood had interferred with the heart

Mrs. Williams had not been feeling
well lately, but paid but little atten-
ton to the matter, ascribing II to
some slight stomach disorder. She
had prepared for retiring and was in
the act Of reaching up TO turn off the
light when with a grasp she dropped
back, dying.

Halloween party of the week was
that given by DIR. and Mrs. Cue on
Saturday evening, to the young people.
The guests were hidden to appear at
$3.50 in ghostly attire appropriate
to the evening, the dinner table was
laid in one, long table and illumination
was furnished by the primitive candle
and Jack-o-lantern, table decorations
were weird and grotesque emblems of
the mystic night among them being
cold and clammy gum drop feet, black
cats, pumpkin figures, witches, devils
heads, spiders, monkeys, and every
thing to remind the guests that this
was an unusual occasion. Place
cards were black cats and witches.
The rooms were decorated in gold,
and many cosy corners invited conf
dences. The dinner menue consisted
of autumnal dishes suggestive of the
harvest time, last on the list was
fortune cake, which disclosed to
many their destiny. Before dinner
ended a ghostly visitor came upon
the scene and many were the guesses
as to the identity 500 was the game
of the evening, wish bones were Civ
en- to each player and upon these
pumpkin seeds were strung to denote
the number of games won. After
cards slips bearing numbers we're
passed and as each number was call
ed guest stepped forward and was
given an emblem by which to remem-
Der the occasion. Horoscopes of the
lives of those present in a more or
less unfinished conditions were Civ
en- to the guests and they were ex-
pected to finish them. This afforded
much amusement.

per and place between slices of hot,
crisp toast.
Instead of sewing the turkey after
you have put in the dressing insert
toothpicks on either side of the open
ing and lace string back and forth
over the picks. When the turkey is
baked the picks and string can be re-
moved without tearing the meat.
In preparing the turkey for the
oven do not pack the dressing too
closely in either the crop or the body,
but allow room for it to swell when
it is moistened by the steam in cook
ing.
Where the family is large and oy-
sters are considered an expensive dish

MAKE thin batter of beaten
eggs and flour, add salt stir the oys-
ters in the batter and fry in hot lard,
dipping up one oyster to a cake. 1t
is one of the most delicious ways of
cooking oysters, and brings out the
juiceness of the bivalves better than
the ordinary frying in cracker crumbs.
Make the cakes small, only use
enough batter to cover the oysters.
