and Make Eating a Pleasure

boiling water ready on the stove, slipping 1t in gently that 1t might remain whole, and let 1t cook. 2 Sometimes in an illness your invalid may have to be fed with a cooked yolls of egg, if, from the nature of the dis ease, the albumen of the white is harm ful, and this IS the way you would prepare 1t, giving 1t more or less time, according to the way 1t is to be served.
 l think one of the most useful dress ings, one which can be used for the greatest number of purposes, is the boiled dressing. It IS as delicate as mayonnaise-which is supposed to be the queen of all the salad dressings is made without oil, which pleases many persons who cannot teach themselves to like olive oil, and 1t IS convenient for family use, as it will keep for a week or ten days, so IS always in readi- ness in case of sudden company or other need
 Boiled Dressing
 Beat the yolks of three eggs until they are light and thick; add one teaspoohful of dry mustard, two teaspoonfuls of salt, speck of cayenne or paprika, two Iablespoontuls ot sugar, two tablespoon fuls of melted butter, one cupful of cream, one-half cupful of hot vinegar, and, lastly, the whites of eggs beaten stiff. Cook the mixture in double boiler until it thickens, stirring well the meanwhile
 It should be as smooth as cream, but thicker, about the consistency of boiled custard. Let it get thoroughly cold pour into glass jars and cover, then put away in cold place until you want to use it. This dressing was used on the baked-bean salad; also, in place of mayonnaise, on the tomato and shrimp salads shown in the illustrations.
 A tomato and lettuce salad is easily prepared. Peel the tomatoes and set them on the ice until serving time, talk ing care to select perfectly formed, ripe fruit of uniform size Have the lettuce washed, dried and put to chill, and at luncheon or dinner-time make nest of crisp lettuce leaves on individual plates.

Good Toast

Good Toast
 By the way, she. never insults the digestion of her family by making "toast" over flame, serving it burned black outside, soft and "waddyssinside. Instead she uses gas-toaster or, the oven. and feeds them on slices such as the heroine always serves-crisp, brown and tender, dream in the toast line.
 She is person who dares to have two ways of doing the same thing, and chooses the method best adapted to her time. When she comes in, tired and hurried. she starts the eggs cooking in cold water, because she knows that by the time the water boils the eggs will be ready to serve. and the table can be spread in the meantime. She objects to waiting when she is hungry. That is why she starts the coffee in cold water also
 Perhaps the very next day she xifi reverse the process. and start eggs and coffee ia boiling water, because there happens 10 be boiling water ready and just that much time is saved

Mix in the order givenS adding the oil very slowly. z This was the dressing which my young girl friend used for the asparagus salad and for the potato salad, which are shown in the illustrations on this page. Excellent Potato Salad.
 Now for potato salad which 1 know you will declare excellent.
 Cut three good-sized or six small cold boiled potatoes into thin slices; chop a small onion into small pieces and mix with the potatoes; chop few sprigs of parsley and two or three slices of cold boiled beets Put layer of potato and onion on cold platter, then sprinkle some of the chopped beet and parsley over it, add another layer of potato.

A dren's clothing are designated by ihe age and not the size, 1t is
 generally wiser, when ordering, 10 give the bust and waist measure in addition to the age Everyone knows how children of the same age differ in size, yet not everyone is familiar with the model measurements of the different ages.
 The bust measure for a girl, or the breast measure for boy, IS taken Tn practically the same manner as the bust measurs for a womans pattern The tape measure is passed around the body close up under the arms and in slightly raised line across the front. The waist measure IS taken around the natural waist-line, and the length from the un- der-arm to the bottom of the skirt, hold ing the tape in a straight line, not curv- ing ih at the waist.
 Importance of Bust Measure
 The length measure is the least i'm portant, as that may readily be adjusted, but if the bust measure does not nearly correspond with that of the figure be- ing fitted, there will be many difficulties to overcome before the garment can be finished satisfactorily. The bust meas ure is most important, because if this has to be changed it necessitates alterations at the neck and shoulders and in all the upper portion of the waist,
 The waist measurement IS of compara- lively little importance when ordering the pattern, but if one knows the waist measure that corresponds with each bust size, it is a simple matter to allow tor a larger waist when cutting, or baste the seam little deeper for one that is smaller.

Preserve the Flavor
 When preparing any given vegetable salad, the first care IS to preserve the freshness, the crispness and the flavor. To do this put the vegetables or herbs at least an hour, then dry them very carefully with soft towel or cloth, talk ing care not to bruise them.
 They should then be set on the ice until they are wanted for use Have both the service and the individual plates very cold, and do not pour the dressing over them until you are ready to serve them. In that way, and that only. you will have the salad as you want it.
 First. the Dressing
 Of course the important feature of the salad IS the dressing. Once the mys- tery of this is solved, the whole art of salad-making IS in your possession, and you marvel at its simplicity. "The dress ing of the salad should be saturated with oil, and seasoned with salt and pepper before the vinegar IS added It results from this process that there can never be too much vinegar, for, from the spe cihc gravity of the vinegar compared with the oil, what is more than useful will fall to the bottom of the bowl The salt should not be dissolved in the vine gar, but in the oil, by which means it is more equally distributed through the saladn
 All this relates to. the French dressing, which IS most often used with the vege- table salads, both raw and cooked. To make this dressing. you would use one saltspoonful of salt, one-half a saltspoon- ful of pepper, three teaspoonfuls of oil. quarter of teaspoonful of onion juice and one tablespoonful of vinegar.

In cutting the front of the waist, the straight edge of the pat tern laid even with the lengthwise fold in the center of the material, it was found that the latter was not wide enough and it would be necessary to piece the front,

A Simple Dress

simple Dress
 There IS no one style of dress that is prettier for girls everyday wear all the year round than the short-sleeve, round-neck model to be worn with q guimpe. The one shown is unusual be- cause the yoke and upper part of the sleeve are cut in one and there is no shoulder seam. The front of the waist portion below the yoke is tucked in the center and at each side, the tucks each one-half inch deep. The dress used for the illustration was in the nine-year size, and the material was blue chambray.
 Fold the material lengthwise through the center. and cut the front of the waist, the yoke and the front gore of the skirt. Open the folded material and double il the other way-the fold straight across the goods at half its length, leaving it spread out its full width-and cut the remaining gores of the skirt, the backs of the waist and the under portions of the sleeves.

then over the top sprinkle the remainder of the beet and parsley, pour the dressing over it and set aside to cool.
 If you want it to look particularly fine you may garnish it, as the girl did, with slices of beet cut in diamond shape, and between each point put a sprig of pars- ley, and put a finishing touch to it by boiling the yolk of an egg for twenty

 the raw edges, before the outside stitch ing, which will hold it in place, is placed.
 The edges may be further decorated with feather-stitching which may also ornament the edges on the neck and sleeves, or insertion or band trimming

 Arrangir- the Tucks

 iold-edge of the second tuck, and the perforations between these and those of the fold-edge of the first tuck represent the line to which the fold-edge O; the second tuck is to be brought.
 The seams should not be pressed open, but turned, both edges together, toward the front When both tueks are laid, the underfold of each will repre- sent the sewing that forms the tuck.
 A pretty finish, as well as an excel lent method of holding the tucks sc curely in position, is to eontinue the stitching across the tuck in a diagonal

regardless of wnerw the joining seam will come, but this would not be good dressmaking to achieve that result a little thought must be given to determine where the seam may best be concealed. In this case 1t was placed under the second of the two side tucks and the excess material cut off.

Forming the Tucks

Forming the Tucks
 A small perforation in the pattern in dicates the fold-edge of each tuck, and if pencil-line were drawn one-half inch each side of each perforation, each pair of peneil-lines would represent the sew ing lines that form each tuck. As the trcks at each side turn toward the back, the piece must be joined at the underside of the tuck, along the pencil line that is nearest the underarm seam.
 Allow on the front portion a seam (threc-eighths of an inch) beyond this fine, then cut the piece to be joined, allowing three -eighths of an inch for a
