Chatting Dish Dishes.


As the bracing and cool days OF au-
tumn come upon us, the chafing dish
which has been having its vacation
time, is welcomed with real delight
There are so many appetizing dishes
which are only prepared and served
in perfection from the chatting dish.
One of the most charming things
about a chatting dish Is the seeing
dish made before the eyes. For De-
ginner 1t is best to start with some
thing simple, like fried bacon or liver
and bacon. Rub the blazer Win
onion and put in the bacon. When
crisp, lay in thin slices Of liver which
have been rolled in -four. Serve each
piece of liver with a slice OF bacon.
Curried Salmon.-Chop one small
onion and brown in the blazer in q
tablespoonful of olive oil, mix togeth-
er a tablespoonful of -four and tea
spoonful OF curry powder, add to the
onion, stir and cook until bubbling,
then add three-fourths Of a cup OF
hot water, a teaspoonful of salt, the
Juice of half lemon and the salmon.
Sardines on toast are another SIM
pie and tasty dish. Heat the sardines
and put on pieces of toast cut the size
and shape Of a lady finger. Serve
with chopped onion put on lettuce
leaves arranged around platter.
A Savory Rechauffe.-Stir together
tablespoonful of jelly, apple, cur
rant or grape and two tablespoonfuls
of butter in the blazer until melted.
Lay in slices Of rare roast beef or
cold mutton or lamb; season with salt
and pepper, turn often and serve.
Dreamed Lobster.-Chop the flesh
of medium-siZed lobster. Beat the
yolks of two eggs and mix with two
tablespoonfuls of cream. Season with
salt, onion juice, pepper and nutmeg.
Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in
the chatting dish. When hot add the
lobster meat; when hot add the sea-
sonings. Serve on buttered toast.
Curried Eggs.-Take six hard-boiled
eggs, slice crosswise into four thick
slices. Brown & small onion in q
tablespoonful of butter, add table
spoonful of -four, a teaspoonful Of
curry powder, half a teaspoonful Of
salt and cupful of stock cook until
smooth, then add two tablespoonfuls
Of cream and the sliced eggs.

fad will meet with strong approval In
this class; for what suffragette does
not yearn for shackles? Here Is a
chance for one and all to appear in
the limelight with their feet tightly
bound at the small cost of just few
cents for a good, strong, but short
piece of ribbon. Then the rush will
be over, and that is how the great
blow will fall.

to cut fashion every time.
This is an age when we are all
stepping along in the grand march of

keep up with the procession is that
the band will strike up a glide waltz

Dust, like the poor, is always with

sumes a large part Of the time of the

Now that we are beginning to re-

many Of them disease germs, which
are only waiting for favorable condi-
tions to develop, we should use more
care in the removal of dust. Brushing
with feather buster only stirs up the
dust, to be taken into the lungs
through the air we breathe
An amusing story is told by Max
O'Rell: When visiting in this coun-
try, his hostess and he came into a
room where a maid was welding a
buster with more vigor than judg-
ment, and replied, when asked what
she was doing: why, I'm dusting."

is the best, using a brush and pointed
stick to reach corners and cracks.
The cloth should be shaken and
well washed after using. The manu-.
