ONE of these supposedly merry men
~ sat on a costume chest outside
small canvas shelter. His tongue was
in his cheek and his brow was wrinkled.
These stock expressions had amused
thousands when aided by the white
powder and red daubs of his makeup;
but just now they had become very
earnest and human, picturing his utter
woe and perplexity.

he would do. Glowing with him had
been somewhat lucrative profession,

first of the present season. would bridge
over the necessary layoff. But other
things were troubling him. The sudden
stoppage of the show promised to play
havoc with all his finer and more cher

he said to himself.
The sound of step caused his quick
upward glance and deeper frown. A
young woman, who carried bag, coat.
and other signs of departure, had come
up as if to speak to him.
"Hello" said Flinders. Where you
off to, Bet?" He knew where she was
off to. and in the circumstances couldn't
blame her for the decision; but he sought
to feign something of surprise.
Don't think I'm going to linger till

head, giving her pretty chin jerk to
signify that she didn't care.
Flinders stared at her for full minute
and then down again at the muddied

Hints For Kitchen.

The few spoonfuls OF leftover mash
ed potato can be used to form the
foundation of rice soup. If mixed
with cold chopped meat and rice, and
an egg and suitable seasoning, they
make appetizing croquettes.
The last spoonful of Jelly can be
acded to pies or cooked prunes.
A hard boiled egg is useful as long
as there is a piece OF It in the house.
Unpalatable soup meat is made very
appetzing when chopped fine and mix
ed with small can of salmon, to form
croquettes.
Old bread just now takes it's new
form in breadcrumb cakes. Soak the
bread in buttermilk and use flour to
thicken the batter
A half can of tomatoes can be used
TO make tomato souffie. Season with
salt and pepper. and butter, strain and
add cup Of cream. Serve with saited
crackers.
A saucer Of baked beans can be heat
ed with catsup in a pan and a spoonful
on toasted crackers serves nicely for
the MONDAY luncheon.
Tough steak should be chopped and
mixed with diced potatoes and then
baked. Cheese grated over this dish
improves the flavor
odd pieces Of fruit, such as one ba o.
mana. an apple or an orange, are mixed
with lemon gelatine.

NEW CORSET COVER

Many women desire to efface the line
which is often noticeable from the top
of the corset in a tightly fitting gown.
At the same time they do not desire
OF require a regular boned bust sup
porter. For these women there has
been designed the brassiere corset
cover, which is really nothing more
than heavy muslin, but so carefully
shaped that it acts like a supporter.
Sometimes these brassieres are very
elaborate, one illustrated I'm an earlier
number boasting handsome insets Of
Irish lace.
These brassieres may be worn as a
substitute for the corset-cover, or are
yelled by the sheer corset-cover Of tho
combination or a lacey chemise. They
vary largely in price according 10 the
material and amount of lace used IN
