CARROTS GOOD FOR SYSTEM
HeaIthful Vegetable Can Be Served
in Number of Most Deli
cate Dishes.

The humble carrot has an especial.
ly good effect on the system at this
time, and despite its strong taste 1t
may be made into the most delicate
dishes. Winter carrots are slightly
boiled in three different waters to
remove this rankness, but the new
spring sort is dainty enough to re-
quire one water only. Spring carrots,
which begin to appear in March, are
delicious when boiled plainly and
served with maitre d'hotel-clarified
butter sauce. A dust of finely chop
ped fresh parsley on top gives them
a new piquancy to those who tire of
the carrot taste. Carrots served with
cream are first boiled in plain water,
and then drained and warmed anew
in the sauce that has been preparing.
To make this sauce dilute a little Of
the boiled water with two-thirds
cream and thicken slightly with corn
starch season with black pepper and
salt and add a tablespoonful of but
ter. Carrot fritters are made with
the cold boiled vegetable mashed up
and mixed with bread crumbs and
egg; enough cream to make thick
ish batter is used and the fritters are
fried in boiling oil. Oyster plant and
parsnips are also delicious when serv-
ed in fritter form, the various in
gradients used giving the vegetables
a most delicate taste.

The appearance of a book OF up.

humor as a safety valve to career

life. 1t Is fact, not usually recog'

which, are concerned with philosophy,
mathematics, statistics, or other abb

BLUE SERGE ALWAYS USEFUL
Gown, II Possible-Serves So
Many Purposes.

II possible, every woman should m
clude in her wardrobe little one
piece gown of thin blue serge. 1t
serves purposes for which blue linen
and blue surah are not available. 1t
is not marred by the rain and it is
not easily mussed
A one-piece blue serge gown may
sound plain and anything but indiv-
idual, but its possibilities are unlim-
tied. Silk collars, folds and bands
may adorn it, and the skirt Ray be
made with a knee-deep hem. The
skirts are slightly raised on the bodice,
thus giving an Empire effect, and the
bodice is loose and easy.
The trimming of the bodice is
matter of individual taste. Some pre-
fer the deep rolling collar of black
satin, over which a small collar of
Venetian lace can be turned, as the
black is not so becoming next to the
neck. Others have deep collar COM
ing almost to the waist line, made of
allover lace, dotted net or sheer eye
let embroidery piped with a narrow
fold of black satin.
Some may use a touch of color on
the blue serge gown, but this should
be judiciously applied. A panel lined
with a vivid green or glaring cerise
is not altogether smart, while cravat
of green, kings blue or light red silk
cannot fail to be good looking. The
farseeing woman will see to 1t also
that her blue hemp hat is frightened
with a bit of the chosen color, and
will have also tailored parasol to
carry with this serviceable blue outfit

Double Faced cIoakIno~k

Not a shop Of Importance >but is
showing double faced cloakings, with
plaid and plain reverse side, and great
er novelties In the ratine effect, often
with one side In silk. Some Of the ex-
treme novelties are so wholly unlike
on the two sides that 1t seems almost
as II two materials had been pasted
together.
Another interesting feature in mate
rails for wraps is the double faced
silks, with one strong color on one
side and another on the reverse, with
no indication of the other from either
side. That is to say, in blue and red
combinations, for example, there Is no
trace of the changeable effect; one
side is absolutely red and the other
side absolutely blue. II is two toned
and double faced in the stIctest sense
of the words and not changeable or
shot.-Chicago Tribune.

cism of young surgeons for removing

The graduates of high school In
Washington were warned to keep
away from the fashionable set If they
wished to avoid degradation and lead
upright Christian lives. But the elo-

that 1t takes something more than
nondetermination to lead upright lives
to get into the fashionable set of the
capital--it takes money.
