SOME NOVELTIES IN HATPiNS
BOOSTERS, Pheasants and Owl Heads,

in imitation enamel or silver to huge
affairs in rhinestones with combs and
feet of colored jewels.
Some of these rhinestone pins are
three inches long from comb to claws.
Usually they present a side view when
in the hat, occasionally they are set
to look as if just stepping forth for a
morning crow, showing both sides of
the body studded.
Huge colored enamel hat pins have
superseded rhinestone ones for the
moment, though the former when of
good quality are always in style. A
good-looking one has large heart

TRY PULLED BREAD
GREAT LUNCHEON OR TEA DELI

Pleasant Variation on Usual Loaf OIL
Biscuits on Breadmakine Days
Crisp, Brown MorseIs Go
Well With Tea.

On breadmaking days a pleasant va
ration on the usual loaf or biscuits is

a bit Of cheese and cup of tea
To make pulled bread" take a loaf
OF freshly baked bread from the oven
and, while it is still warm and rather
underdone, pull the inside out of it in
irregular pieces about the size of an
egg. Put these in a good oven and
bake delicate brown.
Tempting breakfast rolls, light and
white as snow, are made according to
this southern recipe: One cup Of sour
milk, two-thirds OF a cup Of cream, one
teaspoon OF soda, one teaspoon of salt,
drop from spoon. Bake in moderate
oven.
Huckleberry tea cake is, as its name
implies. dainty concoctfon for the
supper table, The recipe for it follows:
One-haf cup sugar, one tablespoon but
ter, one beaten egg, one-half cup milk,
one cup berries. one cup -four with 1 II
teaspoons baking powder.
Rather companion dish to the
huckleberry tea cake Is the blueberryI
shortcake. This is made as follows i
TWo-th1rds cup sugar, one-fourth cup
butter, one egg, one cup milk, two cups
flour sifted with two teaspoons baking
powder, little salt and ~ cups blue
berries. Bake in hot oven. To be
eaten hot with butter l have made
this with preserved blueberries by
draining off the juice and using less
sugar, as the berries were sweet
These, 1t appears, are "our salad
days" Let us not be green in judg-
ment' as regards salad dressing. A
good dressing will make a poors salad
presentable, but a poor dressing will
ruin the best salad ever invented,
Here are two tried recipes for dress
ing. The first for mayonnaise, is as
follows: Yolks of two eggs, one-half
teaspoonful salt and dash of cayenne;
beat until it thickens, then add OIL, a
few drops at time, still beating.
Thin down with the juice of lemon
and add the whites beaten to froth.
The second runs like this: Scald one
cup of vinegar, Butter. the size of a
walnut, add two tablespoons of sugar,
one tablespoon of -four, one table
spon Of salt, one tablespoon of dry
mustard, stirred together with one
egg. Cook until thickened. When cool
whip one cup of cream and add This
can be kept several days If cream is
not added until ready to serve
/ Gooseberry jelly Is an unusual, but
very appetizing delicacy. To five
pounds green fruit add one pint Of
water and boil until the skins crack
open. Drain the juice in a cheese
cloth bag made double. Measure and
return juice to the kettle and boil 90
minutes rapidly, or half an hour if
not rapid boiling. Measure sugar, a

sugar thoroughly heated, add to juice
and boil five or ten minutes.

ATTRACTIVE REST SLIPPERS
The Mule Shape in Persian or Paisley
Patterned Silk Is Most
Admired.

Attractive looking rest" slippers
for the girl whose feet trouble her are
Of mule shape in Persian or Paisley
patterned soft but firmly woven silk.
For feet that are very sore or great
ly swollen the most comfortable slip
pers are the low cut strap affairs, re-
sembling sandals, made of fine kid
and equipped with thin, flexible soles.
There are also heelless slippers of
satin which will fold up and may be
carried in shopping bag of ordinary
dimensions, and less expensive replicas
of the same model can be made of
suede, which affords rather more sup
port to the feet.
If girl wishes to have rest slip
pers to match her various negligees
she may have them made of the same
materials, and if she cares for still
more elaborate footgear of a similar
type she may embroider pongee, braid
fine flexible kid or hand paint satin
tops, the pattern for which may be
procured from the cobbler who is to
attach them to soles.

SANDWICHES.

Sandwiches should be prepared with

least one day old. Warm the butter,
not melt it, and spread the bread.

A cucumber or two packed in the ice
is used to cool the lemonade, or may
be used as a salad filling with lit

cakes and salads may be added, pick

Iced coffee Is liked by many for a

ART OF KEEPING QUIET.

The blessed art Of keepng quiet Is
one which our American women must
learn If they would keep from nerv-
gus prostration and a hundred other
ells. The first lesson to learn Is to
know wher one has been talking too
much or moving too much. Half the
women we meet have no idea of ply
s1cal repose. She shifts position,
Swings her foot, twirls her thumbs,
turns her head and Is not quiet single
moment
A high pitched voice is another indi-
cation of nervousness, it is often the
sure sign OF exhaustion.
One Of the worst symptoms of a
nervous break down is the inability to
pet go. She holds on to the very thing
that is undermining her health like a
dog to a root"
The more she goes the more she
has to go. She loses all sense of the
Witness of things, and all ideas of the
proportion of rest and action that
must exist If one keeps sound and
sane. The asylums are not holding all
the insane men and women by any
means.
The great experts on keeping health
emphasize the art of keeping quiet.
The woman who gives up all society,
all vital touch with the world makes
even greater mistake as she is lost
both in the world and herself; but
there is happy medium. One must
choose between the two, it is not nee
essary to be either a butterfly of a
vegetables.
No doctor can do so much for a ner-
oss young woman as she can do for
herself. The art Of self control is
learned in keeping quiet
A day spent in the woods where one
can quietly sit for hours and be per-
fectly quiet will break up a good case
tof nerves. An hour a day in perfect
quiet where one can think out ones
own thoughts is a great help in main
banning mental poise.
