RECIPE FOR BANANA FRITTERS
Method of Preparation Not Altogether
New, But Carries Most Appetizins
Suggestion.

The following recipe by Jane NJ
Hill looks good. 1t IS something new,
and from its source must surely be
worth trying: One egg, one-half cup
of flour, one-quarter cup of milk or
water. one-quarter teaspoonful salt,
bananas.
Sift together the flour and salt, drop
the yolk of the egg into the center of
the mixture and slowly stir in the
milk; when the milk is about half
used, beat the mixture until very
smooth and stir in the rest of the
milk. Cover the batter and set aside
for an hour or more. When ready to
use, fold in the white of the egg beat
en- dry. Remove the skin and coarse
threads from the banana, cut them in
halves crosswise, then cut the halves
lengthwise and dip the pieces in the
batter, covering them completely Fry
in deep fat to a golden brown. Serve
sprinkled with powdered sugar and
cinnamon, as a dessert dish, or, with
currant jelly or a hot sauce as an en-
tree with meats. Often the pieces
of bananas are Sprinkled with sugar
or lemon juice and set aside half an
hour before frying. When so treat
ed the banana needs be drained very
carefully before it is dipped into the
batter.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

IVORY BRUSH REQUIRES CARE
Flour or French Chalk Should Be
Used for Cleaning This Popular
Toilet Article.

The popular fancy for ivory articles,
hair brushes particularly, has but one
drawback, the difficulty of keeping the

A dealer in ivory brushes says they
can be kept clean by rubbing plenty of
flour or French chalk into the brush,
wrapping it in brown paper and let
ting it stand over night. In the morn
ing the brush should be shaken hard,

1t requires patience and lots of expert
