A HOMEMADE DOLL

A doll which will prove serviceable and attractive to nearly all little tots may be easily and cheaply made.
 Buy sofa pillow top on which is printed the face of a pretty girl. Round the corners until the face is in the cen Ire of a circular piece about twelve inches in diameter. Run stout thread around the edge, draw together and stuff with bits of paper or shreds of cloth. This is to be the head. From stout unbleached muslin cut, all in one piece, the body, arms and legs. Stitch around edges, cutting an opening down centre of back. Turn inside out and stuff with sawdust Close opening care fully and sew on the head. Dress in a little Red Riding Hood outfit, and the result is doll that will be joy forever to the little heart whose property she becomes.
 A little girl who has dolls of all de- scriptions, from big French doll that talks, down to one made as described above and chr;stened "Raggy," loves Raggy better than all the others, and once, when thoughtless auntie made some disrespectful remarks about her "rag doll," the little mothers heart was almost broken. Surely many little girls not so we'll favored as the one just men toned, whose parents have to spend their money to buy shoes and other ne cessities instead of dolls, would appre- ciate doll like this. Many a child s life can be made happy for years by one of these inexpensive but beloved toys.

over each step carefully with your pa tron, making sure that you each under stand alike. The wisest way is: draw up written memorandum in duplicate and submit 1t to her before you go ahead. You will have to use tact in doing this. Many women dismiss business matters with a shrug, but are quick to take offense over discussions of prices and payments. Strike all your bargains first i; have the money question so clearly un- derstood that there can be no feelings y
 It takes courage to have money deal7 ings with friends, but you must make up your mind to keep your head clear, smile and be pleasant about 1t, and know absolutely that you are in the right. Be ware of the friend who says: "Oh, don't bother me with prices; just go ahead and do the best you can and know it will be all right" Nine times out of ten, she is the one to complain and feel that she is being cheated, no matter what price is charged her.

The Frenehwoman Adores a Muff

The Frenchwoman Adores Muf
 The possibilities of coquetry in a huff are fully appreciated by the Parisienne who dearly loves to pose with huge, fluffy muf. in her hands,aand has her sumner niuffs of chiffon and lace as we'll as the warmer sorts for practical winter use This froek of pale 'mauye caehrere de soie is. matched by huge huff of the material trimmed with lace fri1ls and silk cord.
 Late summer always brings the prob lem of the unlined gown. To any but the most slender figure fitted lining is essential to sfapeliness, yet we hesi- tate to put permanent lining into a gown that is fo be laundered. The scam fitted corset-cover, either alone or Tn one of the sheath combinations, solves the question SO far as the waist is con- .eerned. Its use avoids the necessity for bust supporters and the several cor |set-aeccsseries of this kind that, mean ing additional clothing, are none too welcome in very warm weather.
 The plain corset-cover may be relieved from absolute severity by the judicious use of trimming, which should never be elaborate, however. The disclosure, through a sheer waist, of an over trimmed corset-cover and large corset bow of colored ribbon, that had certain vogue last summer, is in questionable taste-to criticse 1t even mildly.

Pare and slice thin raw potatoes in the proper tion of half meat and half potatoes; chopi a small onion fine; put the whole over the fire in enough cold water to allow, for several hours cooking without re- plenishing, which detracts from the rich- ness of the hash.

 dice; put over the fire in cold water to cover well; add for each two cupfuls of meat one teaspoonfui of minced onion and pinch of celery seed. Cook twenty minutes, season with salt pep~ per and butter, and thicken the gravy with one heapi1g teaspoonful of flour wet with a little cold water.
 Mutton Hash with oresn Peas
 Chop the lean portions of cold roa5t or boiled mutton fine. Cook in enough cold water to cover, adding, if the flavor is liked, little minced onion. Bring slowly to the boiling point, then move the vessel to cooler part of the ranEs and simmer until the meat is very ten der. Season with salt, pepper and but ter, thickening with flour. Have ready sewed peas, fresh or canned, seasoned for the table, also a sufficient number of buttered rounds of toast; heap a helping of the hash in the center of each round and surround with border of peas. Hash in Pepper Shells
 Chop cold roast veal or fowl fine; cover with cold water and cook slowly suntil very tender. Then season to taste with salt; add dash of cayenne and a generous lump of butter. Remove from the fire and add sufficient bread-crumbs to give body to the hash. Have af hand the required number of pepper shells washed clean; fill these with fl1e hash, stand upright in a baising-pan, dot with butter, half fill the pan with boil- ing water and stand in a hot oven hf- teen minutes. This makes delicious luncheon dish or an entree.

decorations, and discuss them with your patron, but always keep back some little detail as surprise If there is a guest of honor, decorations in the latter's favorite color are delicate compliment
 will not go into detail about all the favors, score-cards and odds and ends which make an affair unique. Should you hit upon. happy idea for score cards, you might work your way into furnishing them to stationers. When I stand over a case of unattractive favor cards i'll shop sometimes think: :: What pity more girls with real talent and originality do not try their hands at these" If you went about to your friends in your own town and towns near you and offered to supply the favors or decorations, or to suggest them, do you not believe that your offer would be hailed with delight?
 Catering
 If you have any knack at all at pre- pairing dainties, the catering for parties will appeal to you. First, there are the dainty bonbofs, matching the decorations with fruit and vegetable havorings and colorings. Dig up grandmother's old cook-books and try her recipes for n1ak- ing ambrosia, nectar and all the old delicacies See how many new things you can evolve. There is a host of candied fruits and flowers that hostesses love to serve in cut glass or fine china compotes for afternoon tea. Each hos tess strives for something new in the way of little cakes, tarts or biscuits Set out, for example, to coat different kinds of fruits, cakes and crackers with chocolate or colored. icings, and you will be surprised at the delights you can manufacture
 Originate cakes, candies and salads. Plan little menus which can be carried out with little expense. After all, your own garden and pantry hold the mate rials necessary to -lake good foods. T cannot make things good enough for parties" you say. Find good caterer and engage her services then, remember ing to always give work to others you cannot do yourself The fame of one who can furnish dainty, decorated cakes and salads goes abroad I know a won- an in a Southern city who. ornaments cakes with flowers of icing, and was urged by ladies who visited her city and liked her cakes to establish branch shop in a Northern city.

FOR THE GIRL WHO WANTS
 TO EARN
Possibilities of the Social Season

T WONDER if the girl who wants
 to make money has ever thought
 of using the social and club sea
 son as means of making extra money? Just now, in big cities or in smaller, you hear much of card clubs, literary clubs, dancing parties, afternoon teas-the whirl of the season is we'll be- the girl with will is concerned.
 Every social and every club entertain menf must have its touch of hospitality in the way of refreshments. Every hos tess and every committee reach the point where they would be glad to have certain details taken off their minds and hands. Think of the opportunity this gives you, in no matter what line your talent lies. How to Go About It
 Suppose you, live in big, old-fash- toned house, the kind with center hall and long double parlors, or with one big parlor; why do you not DO right into the entertainment business? Rent your parlors to hostesses and clubs. Clear the rooms of superhuous furniture and tint the walls soft neutral tint, against which pretty gowns will be in color harmony. You can tint the walls yourself to save expense, but remember that certain strong colors will spoil the effect of certain other colofs. You will want to change the colors of your floral decorations to suit seasons and occa- sions, and that is another reason why you must not have bright background.
 Buy or rent folding card-tabies and chairs. If ingenious, you eau maf,u- tacture card-tabies yourself with board for the tops and broom-handles for legs. Cover the tops with muslin or felt. Invest part of your capital in pretty, inexpensive china (if your own china closet will not supply enough }, and do not forget the sherbet glasses. These are always in demand, and you can doubtless rent them many times over. You can get very pretty plated forks and spoons in artistic patterns.
 Little by little you can add the napery, epnbroidering t with yorr monogram or your favorite flower. or If you give your narlcrs name, with the initial of that. Special carIors. equipped with tine tables, chairs and skryice for entertainsns have Rccpu1e a need where space is scarce,

form and harmony of fruits and salads. Luncheons, wedding breakfasts and teas give the caterer and decorator the best chance. As society reporter, I heard many ladies, including the wife of a former president of the United States, lamenting that more young women with artistic sense did not enter this field, hostess, see that the tables and parlors were properly arranged and everything in readiness in the kitchen.
 In connection with her entertainment bureau" the ambitious girl must not neglect to study forms of social eti- quette to advise puzzled hostesses; to know the correct wording of invitations and the little points that many hostesses dread. Here, too, comes in the work of making out lists and addressing invi- tations and delivering them Empress a small boy in neat clothes into service for this), ideas for announcements of various sorts, getting up programs, sell ing advertising space on programs-all these can be taken in charge.
 Winter and Summer Work
 The willing girl will find a large field in selecting prizes for card clubs and contests or games. She can haunt the home shops and send for catalogues rom dealers III other towns. OOt1lllOn I favors should bring fame and money to the clever girl. I knew little German woman, street seller of artificial flow CTS, who was grabbed up" by CO., tillion club of generous young people, and kept busy and happy making worl- derful things of tissue-paper = boas, rnuffs, wands, hats, garlands, flowers. / When summer rolls around you can move your entertainment scenery out-of- doors. Arrange your lawn and your porch for party-giving You will need fresh white covers for your tables and chair backs to protect dainty gowns 1; lanterns, big jardinieres, rugs or canvas, if tables are set upon the lawn. There are many little details which the ob- servant bostcss does not neglect You have good chance to help your boy friends. Interest them in forming a string orchestra or mandolin and guitar club, and engage them to play for your parties. Here, too, you have chance to help a girl friend who is musical by engaging her to play. One young woman, a widow with two sons, culti- vated her talent for playing good dance music and had her musica1ly inclined son taught to play the drum, ard the two are kept busy with engagements.

and are welcomed by the hostess to whom entertaining means deal of work, worry and a complete readjustment of the domestic machinery.
 Renting Rooms
 Large pariors with little furniture are pretty good asset for any girl to have There are many times when she can rent them-to the kindergarten teacher, for rehearsals, for readings, recitals and demonstrati of women lecturers. Mothers would rather have their sons and daughters attend dances given in the parlor of house than in a public hall Big storerooms and attics may be rented for the storage of furniture I know one young woman who conducts a stor- age house, hiring the teams and taking care of a big business. As bookkeeper in storage house, she was given much more than her share of work by the lazy manager.
 She did not complain, but spent her time learning the work and making friends of the teamsters and patrons and saving her money. The next thing she did was to establish her own busi- ness, and she is succeeding well. One girl, owning a fine, roomy brick barn, fined its wallis with felt for winter, put in big stove, cleaned and decorated It, called 1t The Barn andsrerted 1t very successfully for social affairs and entertainments Tn the summer she rented it to an artist and his wife. Two other girls of my acquaintances rent their old barn to neighbors for storing their autos. Big houses and big barns can be turned to account in many ways. Decorating
 But there are many more lines of work for you if you decide to try the enter tainment bureau. There are the decora- tions. You can plan these and make the artificial ones, including the candle and lamp shades. You can gradually ac- curuulate palms, ferns and rubber plants and baskets of trailing vines, which you can rent to others, just as the florist does. To keep the goodwill of the flor ist, if there Is one. you could tell him you T to work s with him. 'l he a furnishins rY sm the plants and flowers and you asxang- ing them.

corset-cover and a white carnbric skirt,
 Is to have fitted slip made for this purpose. It takes the place of a lining and certainly makes one seem much
 more properly dressed.
 If made of suitable material it may re- place the corset-cover and long petti-
 coat. Under gown of transparent fabric a slip of this sort Is practically a necessity. It assures the same shade and color under both waist and skirt,
 and by its s1noothly-6tting lines adds immensely to the good effect of the cos tune. It also does away with that bug bear of the sunlmertime-the gaping waist-1ine. Still another advantage is that by supplying slips of different colors, and
 using corresponding ribbons at girdlc, neck and hair, very pleasing variety | may be given to one gown. The slip

 mon dish, few cooks under stand the art of making it and do not appreciate that the ordinary mixture of meats and vegetables, masquerading as bash, is but a travesty upon the we'll made article.
 If the directiops given in the follow ing recipes for the various kinds of hash be strictly observed, the result in each instance will be most satisfactory revelation to the housewife whose make shift of dish called, for want of an- other name, hash, has only met with scant welcome on the family table: Corned-Beef Hash
 This is, perhaps, the most usual and at the same time one of the most savory kinds of hash. To make 1t, allow one part of cold boiled potato cut into small cubes to two parts of cold corned-beef chopped fine; mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper. Put large tablespoonful of butter in frying-pan !; when melted turn the meat and potato mixture into 1t and add enough boiling water to noisten thoroughly. Cover closely and set on a hot part of the range for five minutes, being careful not to let it scorch. When crust is formed on the bottom, turn and brown the upper side; then transfer to hot platter and send to the table at once.
 Corned-Beef Hash with Cheese
 Prepare the meat and potatoes as in preceding recipes, then put into but tered baking pan, molding with the hands into the form of an omelet. Dredge with bread-crumbs, dot with bits of butter, and bake a light brown in a hot oven. Just before taking the hash from the oven, cut four ounces of American cheese into small pieces and stir over the fire in two tablespoonfuls of sweet milk until melted Beat an egg light, add one tablespoonful of milk, mix well, add to the cheese, season with cayenne, and stir few minutes. Turn the hash out on a hot platter, pour the cheese mixture over it, garnish with parsley, and send to the table at once. Beefsteak Hash
 Cut the lean portions of leftover steak
