APPETIZING BREAKFAST DISHES

Corn Fritters and Bacon.
Cut and scrape kernels from three
or four ears of corn (either fresh Or
boiled). Beat two eggs and add one
heaping tablespoonful flour, into
which half teaspoon baking powder
and pinch of salt have been added.
Stir in corn and add milk to make a
batter not too thick. Fry thin slices
of bacon crisp and arrange around
edge of chop dish; fry fritters in fat
from bacon and pile in center of dish
Fried Tomatoes on Toast
Slice firm tomatoes mot too thin +,
salt well and dip in flour. Fry in hot
fat until done; then arrange on pieces
of toast on platter Put in pan in
which tomatoes have been fried a
piece of butter and half tablespoon
flour, brown and stir in milk to make
a gravy the right thickness; season
to taste and pour over tomatoes and
toast.
Chicken Cooked in Country Style.
Take a grown chicken, cut it up
and add just enough hot water to boil
it in; add one red pepper (fresh or
dried, cut in small rings. Simmer
chicken until tender, then add as
much good milk as you want for
gravy and thicken. When ready to
serve, lift out chicken on platter and
add to gravy one very lightly beaten
egg, stirring thoroughly until all is
foamy and light (do not let boil or
it will separate); pour over chicken
and serve with small hot biscuits.

In the most approved couture the
ears are concealed and the lower the
hair comes over them the better. The
wide band which has so long reigned
supreme is now being superseded by
the narrow ones.

There seems to be a predonin9noC
of wing trimming on hats from the
most notable of the Faris milliners
A favorite method Of arrangement is
a sort of banded effect so that the
wings entirely envelop the crown.
Entire foundation robes of white
lace are yelled with dark colored chit
fons and marquisettes, notably navy
blue and black. Again, a handsome
costume of white lace will be seen
with a scarf drapery Of co,ored chif-
fon. The colors most noted in such
combinations are royal purple, kings
blue, chartreuse yellow and emerald

ATTRACTIVE SILVER PIECES FOR THE HOME

Among the novelties in silver that
are practical is a combined cracker
and cheese dish The holder for the
cheese is attached to the center of
the ordinary sandwich place by a
slender silver stem. This does away
with separate plates and facilitates
service.
The cheese holder is shaped like a
shallow tin cup, and it is big enough
to hold the smaller cakes of round
cheese, or enough cheese balls for the
ordinary dinner.
An attractive set of individual nut
dishes is in the form of small silver
baskets of cut silver. For replenish-
ing these cases there is a large bas-
ket in the same design that is to he
passed by the waiter.
For the stout man or woman who
never can keep a napkin on the lap
there is an inconspicuous silver clip
that can be tucked in pocket or glove
until needed. 1t will fasten to deli
cate fabrics without caring and pre-
vents much fumbling under the table.
Couture ornaments are shown in
exquisitely fine skeleton leaves Of
chased and hand-cut silver. Some
times these are studded with rhine
stones to increase the brilliancy.
Silver holders of cut or chased sill
yer for ramekins, individual casser-
oles and bouillon cups are costly
when of sterling silver but add much
to the appearance of a table.
Effective for decorative arrange
ment of flowers is the silver stand
made of twisted wires and coils which
hold number of glass vases with
conveniently wide mouths. Often
these stands are sold in sets, a cen
trail one holding four or five vases
and smaller ones for each corner with
two vases each.
Another set of silver and glass
flower holders are shaped like small

but many other things affecting the
health of the family depend today
upon politics. And so the woman in
the home is affected by politics, as
she was not fifty years or one hun
dred years ago, when conditions of liv-
ing were vastly different. Thus poll
tics today are her concern, if things
that vitality affect the home and the
family are her concern.

with equal importance into her life.

is to be done her
So no longer can women say that
politics have nothing to do with her.
Many other questions, of course, enter
into this much-discussed subject of
suffrage for women. But these two
phases show that today politics do
vitality touch women, both in the home
and out. And women should no
longer put the matter from them as
not worthy of thought. They should
give it careful consideration from all
sides, and at least have good reasons
for deciding for or against it, They

Politics and Milk.

Politics are no longer outside the
home. They are very apt to be inside
the baby, as Charlotte Perkins Gilman
cleverly remarks. And being inside
the baby, they certainly become a mat
ter of woman's concern.
The sphere of politics has changed
within the last fifty years. And the
sphere of woman's work has changed,
Consequently, they are overlapping

women not to be interested in politics

This matter of politics and the baby
is not mere clever phrase-making.
The condition of the milk supplied to
all large cities comes under the thumb
of politics. Whether it is up to GER

THE GIRL WITH A CHIP ON HER SHOULDER

The girl with a crouch is an I'M
pleasant creature no matter where
one meets her, whether in the luNur
ious drawing room of society or be-
hind the oakribbed dignity of the Of
fee desk, but it is perhaps in the
latter position that her unpleasantness
is most pronounced.
In the drawing room it is an easy
enough matter for the girl with a
crouch to be avoided-one has only to-
cut ones call short at the first symp-
tom of 'grouChiness but in an office
one has no such liberty. If such girl
is in your midst she must be endured,
or cured, and curing a girl with an
habitual crouch is not a Lilliputian
task
This style of girl manages success
fully to spoil the spirit of any office.
The good fellowship that should exist
between people who spend the greater
part of every working day in the year
in each others presence, and who are
bound together by common interests
of business, is completely dampened
by the attitude of the girl with
Crouch all the little pleasantries Of
daily intercourse are killed.
A great deal has been written and
much good advice given on the sub
ject of proper dignity in office life.
And it is well that the girl just start
ing on business career should real
lie that it is neither wise nor in good
taste to carry too much vivacity Of
manner into her office life
Yet, on the other hand, the stone
image attitude is hopelessly obiec-
tionable. 1t antagonizes ones fellow
workers and frequently prejudices
ones employer Excessive reserve is
apt to engender an attitude of super
iority, and nothing is so surely fatal
to office popularity.
Let ones past have held what it
may of luxury and refinement, of gem
tie rearing and culture, when a girl
enters the business world she should
realize that during office hours at
least her fellow workers are on a foot
ing of equality and deserve all the
consideration and courtesy that she
would give to her friends.
The girl with a common school edu-
cation and simple, practical rearing
Ms in nearly every case a more eff
cent woman in an office than the girl
of 1.cre or less luxurioue. -t,r:eq 9. ?.
Then why should the latter feel SUI
perior?
They are both bent on an honorable
purpose, that of self-support and indie
pendence, and while the girl of cult
walton possesses some advantages that
the more simply-reared girl does not,
the same thing is equally true the
other way round.
The Girl With Reserve.
There is no occasion for superiority
of manner in office life; all are work
ing on a common basis and with COM
mon interests, and the girl is unwise
who draws into her shell, and per-
forms her duties with an air of panied
reserve.

BY MARION HARRIS NEIL, N. C. A.
Honey is a real food and need not
be grudged as a luxury to be given as
sparingly as possible. 1t will increase
vitality and give the body a goodly
amount of working power For honey
rs almost a pure carbon. And excel
lent gargle for the throat is made OF
honey and vinegar. Honey enters
largely into the preparation of many
beverages. We now use honey for
various kinds of choice ginger bread,
and in making certain kinds of candy.
1t is both wholesome and delicious
spread on bread and crackers. Chill
dren are particularly fond Of it, and
it can be given them quite freely.
The following are a few of the good
things that can be made with honey
as in ingredient, and many more will
suggest themselves when these have
been tried:

pound of sugar, one quart of honey

cup of honey, beat together, add the
whites of eggs beaten to a stiff froth,
sift in one cupful of -four, remove
the whisk, mix with a wooden spoon,
stirring as little as possible. Flavor

Honey Fruit Cake.
Sift two cupfuls of flour into a
basin, rub one cupful of butter finely
into it, add two teaspoonfuls of cream

ing soda, one teaspoonful of grated
nutmeg, one teaspoonful of powdered
cloves, one teaspoonful cinnamon,

one pound of cleaned currants, and
one pound of sultan raisins. Beat up
four eggs, add two cupfuls of honey
and one cupful of sweet milk. Pour

cake will keep for a long time.
To Preserve Fruit with Honey.
Make a rich syrup, allowing a quar-
ter pound sugar, and quarter pound
of honey to each pint and a half of
water, This is just enough for a one
quart jar. Boil the syrup down one
third and skim carefully While the
| syrup is boiling, rinse the jar inside
and outside with hot water, pack the
whole fruit in the jar, fasten the lid
part way, and set in a rack; then put
on the back of the range where it
will keep hot. When the syrup is
ready, pour over the fruit and seal
