FOR HEALTH AND HYGIENE
Recipe for Softening and Whitening
the Hands-Cure and Prevention
of Headache.

recipe used by a Frenchwoman
for softening and whitening her hands
is made by boiling two or three doury
potatoes in their skin, peeling them,
mashing them and making them into a
paste with equal parts of rosewater
and milk. Apply this preparation at
bedtime while the hands are moist
after they have been washed.
Many women suffer from headache
after a day Of busy shopping. To
bathe the forehead with a sponge
wrung out of water as hot as can be
borne will in many cases bring relief
Repeat this as often as the sponge
cools. When the head feels tired it is
-efreshing to dash some cold water on
he forehead, then to wipe it off and
ie down for time. Closing the eyes
'or a few moments at odd times dur

icial effect and viii ward off many

Why, l couldn't have had less of an
eye out for my own interests myself
in the days when you and l were con-
tending suitors for the hand of one of
the Agathas. and you insisted that it
should be the heiress and no other,
and bullied me so because | didn't

knows you made enough fuss about
that"
But when l reported the result of
my remonstrance to Dearest, she said

persuaded her that speaking to him
herself would only make matters
worse and Terhune more obstinate.

STYLE IN SANDWICHES
JUST NOW THE ROLL SEEMS TO
BE IN VOGUE.
TrIangIes and Narrow obionss Also

nation Called for on Part of
the Hostess.

The modern sandwich is small and
shapely The favorite form just now
is round, though triangles and mar
row oblongs are also good. A rather
novel form is the roll. The thin slice
Is spread as for sandwich, then roll
ed In on itself until about the thick
ness of two fingers. Sharp biscuit
cutters are used for round shapes att
er the slices of bread are put together
with the filling.
Too great care cannot be eaken in
shaping, as sandwiches of uneven size
are not appetizing and reflect upon
the social knowledge of the hostess.
If made several hours before they
are used, sandwiches are packed close
ly together and wrapped in linen
cloth wrung from ice water, then in
a dry cloth.
Pass on silver sandwich plates, with
lace dolly underneath, or neatly heap
ed on a fiat china or glass plate COW
cred with a dolly. Where many sand
wiches are served small chop plate
Is often utilized. Where there Is
muffin stand the sandwich plate is set
on one of the shelves, with plate OF
crackers and a basket of small cakes
on the other two.
Sandwich filings are of three or
ders-meat, in which is included fish
and egg sandwiches; cheese mixtures,
and sweet sandwiches.
There are also various greens,

all forms that it can scarcely be
classed by itself In this class may
be put celery or endive run through
a fine meat chopper and mixed with
mayonnaise; cress and nasturtium
tendrils and pods mixed with French
dressing, and parsley chopped fine and
mixed with shredded peppers or
shredded onion.
For tea purposes decided onion mix
lures are better omitted, though finely
chopped white onion is relished with
capers and anchovy filings.
For ordinary purposes cold meat or
poultry run through fine chopper and
mixed to paste, with rich cream and
seasoning of salt and paprica, are de-
licious and not so rich as the mayon-
naise filings. Chicken and tongue
mixed in equal parts are a pleasing
novelty; so is shredded bacon and
ground chicken, with strips Of pimen-

Most of the meat and fish salad left
overs can be used as sandwich filling.

FOR FRlCASEE OF FOWL
I Directions by Which You Can Pro-
duce Dish That Will Make
Hit With Father.

Take a fowl as plump and tender
as you can get, clean it thoroughly
and wash inside and out in saleratus
water. Wipe dry, rub inside and out
with dry saleratus, not too much, and
let lay over night. The next morning
wash off the soda, cut up, taking
pains to disjoint 1t properly, put into
a kettle and nearly cover with cold
water. Rub first with salt, pepper
and a little sage. Bring to a boil,
then set back, closely covered, where
1t will just simmer until it is done.
When it is very tender remove the
chicken from the broth, keeping hot.
Skim off all the fat from the liquor,
set it where it will boil up well. Sea-
son more if needed, and add one pint
Of cream If possible, or rich milk.
Let come to a boil then draw to
back of the stove and stir in quickly
the we'll beaten yolk of an egg and
tablespoon of chopped parsley. Have
the chicken arranged upon a platter,
leaving a hollow in the center. Take
hot cream of tartar biscuits, split and
lay in the hollow upon the platter,
and then pour the cream and egg
gravy over chicken and biscuits and
serve at once. A little rice may be
added to the gravy, cooking we'll in
the liquor before adding cream and
egg. When this is done make crisp
delicately Drowned triangles of toast
and serve in place Of the biscuits.
Sometimes, when using the toast in
place of the biscuits, fry thin, lean
slices of bacon until they are crisp
and golden brown, then arrange the
toast upon the serving dish, place the
bacon upon the toast and the chicken
upon that, then pour the gravy over

country who filled up an application

he had secured an excellent customer;

A railway ticket I request

This brazen act of spending money.

Who deigns to show me collars,

I know that II there's any one he
Detests, it's me for spending money.
I've grown so accustomed to disdain
To having folks ignore me,
To feeling that I give pain
To clerks who stand before me.
Oh, speed the day when may feel

With Red Peppers.

Sweet red peppers are an improve
ment to the meat stew, pie or rag
out, to creamed fish dishes and to
other entrees. Some persons use
them with the canned corn which one
must go back to for the winter. The
peppers should be divested of their
seeds and be shredded fine. They do
not need long cooking. Some persons
who use them in salads shred them
in salted water for three or four min
utes to make them little more ten,
der than If they are used uncooked.
With cabbage salad they are delicious
chopped fine without cooking. Stuffed
with seasoned bread crumbs or rice
and meat and baked they are at their
best

Do you know that carpet. like an

classeses? First there is the jacquard
carpet with cut or uncut pile and a
mechanical repeat from pattern. In
this class are included brussels, will
ton and ingram. Then there is the
enlightening title of NOM jacquard. AK,
minister and chenille carpets are in
this group.
Finally, there is the printed class,
which includes fabrics on which the
design is printed after weaving.

Cretonne Shades.

The newest and prettiest thing in
home decorations is the lamp shade of
shirred cretoune or flowered silk. For
these hea-v wire frames are pur-
chased, the round shape being the
best. The cretonne or sill = is then
shirred tightly under this frame, and
clamped or glued to it. A narrow
border of furniture gimp conceals the
joining place.
In tapestry this variety Of lamp
shade becomes really gorgeous. The
idea. of course, can be applied in any
of these materials to candle shades
as well.
