Smothered Mutton.

Cut in small pieces as much raw, lean mutton as desired. Slice seven small potatoes thin, peel four large onions. Tn a baking dish put layer of mutton, sprinkle with onion, salt, pepper and dots of butter. Gutter may be omitted.) Cut bread in dice, dry in oven and use for next layer, or use only potatoes. Fill the dish with layers making the top one of bread. It is nice to use bread only for the top. Onion extract may be substituted for the vegetable. Turn over all one and one-half cups of hot water Bake slowly.

MANY WAYS OF COOKING HAM
More Tsnder If Baked Than If FrIed- Excellent Idea for . Lunch
 con Dish.

Sliced ham Is more tender If 1t Is baked than if fried. Cut a slice three quarters of an inch thick, put 1t into a small enamel pan, turn three-Quarters of cupful Of milk over 1t, cover and bake for an hour and a quarter. bast- ing every 16 minutes with milk.
 For luncheon grind the ends of a boiled ham and mix it with a button onion that has been chopped fine and little minced parsley. Put the mix ture into a pan with little butter and moisten with hot water or cream. Simmer four or five minutes and then heap on slices of toast.
 For curly bacon cut 1t very thin and half-cook 1t in boiling water, then curl It, fasten in shape with a toothpick and broil 1t over the fire.
 A little grated American cheese mix ed with minced ham used in sand wicbes is delicious if the sandwich is fried brown and served very hot.
 Cold ham is tasty If it is shredded and cooked in currant jelly sauce. Put cupful of the shredded ham into a saucepan with level tablespoonful of butter and half cupful of currant jelly. AS soon as the jelly and butter begin to bubble add four tablespoon fuls Of sherry and a seasoning of pap rika. Simmer the mixture about five or six minutes and serve with toast

Suaaeatlona.

Pantry windows often require shading, either from the sun or from the passerby. This may be cheaply and satisfactorily done as follows: Cut white tissue paper the size of the panes, smear the glass over with milk. then press the paper on smooth ly. When dry the panes will resemble frosted glass and cannot be distin- guished from such from the outside.
 When tablecloths and sheets are new, a piece of tape should always be sewn fiat on the hem at each corner, so as to double the life of the arti- cles and also prevent it from getting out of shape. Another good plan is to occasionally fold them width ways instead of lengthways. This prevents the folding from always being in the same place and thus wearing into holes quickly.

 With toilettes recalling the empire style it is quite suitable and pretty to wear a beguin or a Charlotte Cor day. bonnet. Heavy materials have been given up for these evening coif- lures. Silver and gold lace or tulle are almost always used. They are, of course, greatly enriched and beauti- fled by an aigrette or a jewel placed at the front. Ancient cameos, mount ed on pearl or diamond settings, are pretty on black, golden brown or white tulle turbans
 Heavy and gorgeous, although SUD- pie, materials are much sought for in the making up of evening cloaks and mantles. For instance, gray velvet figures on a cherry colored back ground and blue velvet on a green background. Blue and gold, gray and silver brocades really give a sumptu- ous effect. The cut of such cloaks must be ample and very simple, the only trimming being deep collar of fur.

THAT TOUCH IN TIME
IT MEANS THE SAVING OF MANY
 ANNoYANcEs.
Small Nuisanees Too Long Neglected When Little Time or Trouble Is Needed to Remedy Them
 Some Useful Hlnts.

It is astonishing how we impose on our patience and strength by neglect ing little things about the house creaky hinges, doors that latch and unlatch hard, catches that don't catch. loose handles-annoyances we notice every day, but never think of repair ing unless some unusually provoking thing happens in connection with one of these little slipshods.
 A good plan Is to go over the house periodically and remedy these mat ters-you will be surprised at the number of them.
 For dresser and chiffonier drawers that stick, remove the drawer, turn upside down, and rub the bottom edges with soap. Rub the places where the drawers rest with soap also. If the dresser sticks because it Is too close a 1t, get some one to shave 1t oil a bit at the edge with a plane.
 For creaking door hinges apply a little vaseline with a duster. Sewing machine oil will do, too, or even olive oil if there is nothing else handy.
 Buy small bottle of stain and tin of white enamel and touch up all the spots on the floor or door and window frames that have become marred. Take out all the unneces- sary screws and hooks that mark the places where curtains used to hang
 If the wall paper is torn and the plaster is broken, fill the broken place with plaster of Paris, then cover 1t with piece of plain white paper con- ing just to the edges of the torn wall paper With the children's water colors paint the plain paper, following the design of the wall paper, and the place will never be noticed. Of course, this Is unnecessary if there are any left over pieces of wal paper at hand.
 Replace all lost knobs and correct faulty catches on wardrobes and cup board doors in particular. Doors which will not shut should be planed of at top or bottom.
 Gas fixtures may, be made as bright and shining as new with metal paint,
 Window blinds that are worn and dirty may be unrolled, taken from the roller, turned end for end and tackled on again, and new hem sewed in the lower end with the sewing machine.

Mix together, except flour and fruit, which should be added last Bake as solid or layer cake.

Noodle, and ox,.er,.

Noodles are sometimes used instead of cracker crumbs or grated bread when preparing dish of scalloped oysters. Cook the noodles like mac aroni. Arrange them and the oysters in alternate layers, putting some of the noodles at the bottom of the dish, as well as at the top. Season with salt and paprika and moisten with oyster liquor, and, if convenient, add some cream. Spread the top with butter, and bake until cooked through and 9 delicate brown on top. About twenty minutes will sufHce.
 Macaroni may be used to advan- tage in the same way.

EMPIRE STYLE LIKED
HAS APPROVAL OF FASHION FOR
 EVENING GOWNS.
Parislan costumer Has Produced Ef- feet Which Has Become Decidedly
 PopuIar-How His Idea ls llA to Be Used.

Despised at first, the empire style of evening toilettes, first created by a very artistic Partisan couturier, is now rapidly growing in popularity. The waist is left absolutely free of belt or sash, a narrow cord placed well above the belt line being the only indication of a waist, if any is given at all
 These gowns are made of the sheer est materials, embroidered or beaded fin the designs of the period. They scarcely touch the ground. It Is fashion which was deemed quite ec- centric last year, but is now almost generally accepted by fashionable women.
 The opening of the bodice is round ed and trimmed with lace or tulle fichus, and the sleeves, according to taste or circumstances, are either long or short Strass, as last year, is used largely for trimming. A broad band of strass laid broad over the upper part of a mousseline de soie bodice and on the edge of deep Japanese sleeves gives charming effect.
 Gauges and mousselines de sole. embroidered in pearls or interwoven with metals, are to be found in most smart shops. These materials are em- broidered along the selvage so that the width wanted can be cut, and to avoid seams.
 Among these varieties are found white and black chiffons woven in sil- yer and black, blue gauges beaded in steel and black gauges beaded in moonlight and silver. The pearls form B deep border, which is placed at the foot of the skirt and on the bodice.
 Fur is often used on the border of mousseline de soie tunics, falling half way down the skirt over dress of different material. These under dresses are made of contrasting heavy stuffs, such as brooches shot in metal or satins embossed with velvet fig ures. A small band of fur edges the sleeves to recall the trimming of the tunic. At the waist gold and silver

When Buying Vegetables.

In buying vegetables avoid carrots, beets and similar roots that have their green tops removed.
 AS withered or discolored tops would betray vegetable age, the dealer care fully cuts or trims them off. Roots with the earth clinging to them are usually fresh. Roots that are too free from earth and very clean looking are usually stale and old They look clean because they have been freshened by soaking in cold water. Dealers have not time enough to clean fresh vege- tables simply for the joy of doing it. When they do so you can be sure that t is to their advantage.

WooIen Veil.

A dainty little matron who suffers from occasional twinges of neuralgia has discovered that a woolen veil prevents much of the trouble. This veil, while it may sound clumsy. is really a stylish and delicate face GOV ering. The mesh is wide and the strands heavier than an ordinary veil, but otherwise the observer will not notice any difference. The fric- tion of the woolen strands keep up the circulation in the face and is in- valuable on very cold or windy day. Another thing about these veils is that they can be washed out in soap and water and look like new.

Ham Baked In Milk,

A delicious way to prepare ham Is as follows: Get slice of ham about one and one-half inches thick, place in shallow pan, and cover with milk. Bake in a slow oven until milk has soaked into the ham and until the ham is light brown on top. Gravy is made by adding milk to the grease which remained in the pan after ham has been removed and then thickened with flour.

Put corn in dish, beat eggs and milk and seasonings together, add to corn and set in pan of hot water; bake in moderate oven until set. To be eaten hot; this quantity makes enough for six people.

DomInoes.

Have a plain cake baked in thin sheets and cut into small oblong pieces the size and shape of a domino, a trifle larger; frost the tops and sides; when the frosting is cold, draw the black lines and make the dots, with a soft brush dipped in melted choco- late. These are nice for children's parties.

Serve hot or cold.

The Baby Show.

One of the most interesting
events of the mid-Winter season
was the baby show, given by the
Margaret Davis Hayes Chapter U.
D. g. at the Kentucky Home, on
Friday afternoon, February 10th.
The judges rendering theimport-
ant decision were Messrs. Brown,
Burckmeyer, Glazener, Waldrop.
and DR.. Morse. They deliberated
with great carefulness, and con-
scientiously made their choice,
which was truly difficult in that
array of infant loneliness. More
than twenty babies contested for
the. five prizes. Each was num-
bered, weighed, and that with the
age written on a card, was at
tached to the girls by a blue rib
bon, to the boys by one of pink.
The first, a ring, for the finest
child under one year was awarded
to Edward Murray Brooks, a pref
ty, blonde boy. The second, a
spoon, to the finest under two
years, was won by Frank Reese, a
sturdy specimen of a young noun
taineer. The third, beauty pins,
to the finest under three years, to
little Miss Pauline Brown who was
admired not only for her beauty,
but her gracious and impartial
firtations with each of the judges.
The fourth a spoon for the finest
under four years, went to Joe
Oliver, a handsome young visitor
in our midst. Everybody was re-
quested to vote in the final con-
test which was for the prettiest
child under four years. This was
a beauty pin, captured by Miss
Blanche Carter, a beautiful, little
maiden. Her lucky number was
Ii, and she had 13 Votes. 1t is
conceded that no town of equal
size to Hendersonville could have
exhibited such a number Oh
healthy, handsome, attractive chill.
dren, indeed they were all prize
specimens.
The show was well attended, and
great enthusiasm was shown over
the rival merits of the candidates
The Chapter is much indebted tt
Mrs. Cover, for her hospitality
and her kind assistance in making
the baby show such a perfect sue
cess.
