Charlotte Pudding
Favorite of Goethe

OF the bread and butter that Char
lotte, the beloved of Goethe, was wont
to prepare for his delight we have so
often heard that it is quite relief to
know that there were times when she
turned her hand to concocting puddings
and pies. The following is the recipe
of a pudding which she made to per-
fection on Sundays and high days. and
to which Goethe himself, who reveled
in 1t, gave its name.

Fine Lace Work

CHAPTER xxi.
A Weird Adventure.

-HE truth was that Gwynne had put
on the life preserver and risen
above their heads unobserved.
Fortunately the vapor which he
had allowed to escape from the appa-
ratus was not deadly. 1t was more in
the nature of a fog,' impervious to the
vision. though easily breathed. The re-
suit was fetching; so much so that on
the following morning, when he again
appeared among the lamas, many pros
trated themselves before him.
Gwynne decided to drop the question
suing more crafty methods for their
discovery. The buildings were enormous.

there were constant arrivals and de-
partures. There were ge-tSuls, chedas,
and members Of the fraternity unknown

circumstances of their adoption. They
were foreign-they were unique in the
history of the church.
Gwynnae announced to the abbot that

Diet Has Effect On
Falling Out Of Hair

If You notice the hair is coming out,
eat as little meat as possible and all
the fresh eggs, vegetables, and fruit
You can. Diet has more to do with the
hair than is generally understood. II
the hair Is turning gray too early, con-
suit your physician. Iron may be need
ed in the system. or the nerves may
be deranged. Air the hair well and
try to give 1t a daily sun bath.
You can make straight hair soft
shiny, and beautiful simply by bestow-
ing a little good care upon 1t, and no
part of the human being responds to
attention more quickly than :he hair.
1t is absolutely necessary to nave per-
fectly clean brushes and combs free
from any suspicion of dust. They may
be washed weekly in hot water and
ammonia without soap. Rub them with
the hands; shake well through the wa
ter; rinse several times through more
clean, warm water; shake to remove
as much water as possible; then dry In
the sun with the bristles down. This
will prevent the back of the brushes
from swelling, warping, or cracking,
which so often happens with the silver
mounted ones, and then they are
ruined.

~ nee upon a time there was a
woodcutter and his wife who
lived on the edge Of forest.
They had one son named Will
liam; at least, they called him their
son, for the woodcutter found him on
the steps one morning and had taken
him in.
William was a tiny baby then, and he
had no father and mother but the wood
cutter and his wife.
But the woodcutter was very poor,
and now William was grown and there
was no money to educate him.
Let us divide the little we have with
him and send him out into the world to
seek his fortune said his mother.
So they called William to them and
told him what they intended to do.

Bath Towel Hat
Is Latest Paris Fad

The latest fad from Paris is the wash
rag hat. There may be those who will
not believe that SO humble cloth could
be utilized By Dame Fashion. but the
latest thing in millinery Is nothing more
nor less than Turkish bath towel. Yet
It must not he supposed that because
the material Is plebeian that the nat IS
so too-far from it. 1t is undoubtedly
a very chic affair. in a smart ana be-
coming share. usually lined with black
velvet and crnamented with black vel
vet bows.
No. it will not wash and Is not de-
signed from this economical point OF
view. For seashore wear and mountain
strolls the bath towel hat is the smart
est thing of the summer season:
The woman who is clever with her
needle might copy a hat CT this kind.
The cost could not possibly amount to
much, as the materials used are mex
pensive. After selecting a becoming
wire frame. cover it with Turkish tow
cling and ornament with velvet IN any
desired shade. An old winter hat might
be disguised In tho same way.

Girls Have Scheme
To Keep Hair Back

Girls have invented quite clever
scheme this summer to keep their locks
in place in or out of the house by using
the tiniest kind of hat elastic around the
hair. It matches their locks and does
not show. It makes a tiny ridge, bare.
" visible. where it tightens the hair, but
the locks can be pulled up above 1t with
a hairpin.
1t keeps the hair from blowing down
on the neck and over the face and gives
a trim, trig look over the forehead ana
ears. It is not as substantial as net,
but It is much less trouble to put on and
serves very well for those who cannot
wear the other. The elastic Is tleo
around the hair in tiny knot without
ends.

Suggestions on Pie
And Piecrust Making

To prevent Juice or filling from run
ming out, trim the undercrust even with
edge of plate, allow top crust to hang
over half an inch, after wetting the
rim of pie. Press closely together, then
turn the overhanging crust under the
bottom part, lifting the dough from the
plate little by little and tucking 1t
under all the way around. Uress down
to the plate once more. This Is little
more work than simply pressing the
wet edges together, but your hlling

Linen Made Glossy
By Proper Ironing

Cheap table linen may be made to look
as glossy as fine damask IL ironed in the
following way: After the linen has been
washed, boiled and rinsed, wiring 1t as
dry as possible, roll 1t up in a dry sheet
and leave in for an hour. then iron 1t
till 1t is thoroughly dry. In this way
the linen escapes the wear and tear Of
hanging on the line and keeps better
shape.
