TWO GOOD RECIPES.

Potato Eggs-Roast four or six
large potatoes in the oven with their
skins on; remove the insides, but
keep shape of the potato. Put the in
side of the potato in a basin and add
one and a half ounces Of butter (ac-
cording to the number and size of the
potatoes) and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix together until light and add either
one or two well-beaten whites of eggs
and beat up all together Fill the po-
tato skins with the paste, first rolling
each piece in beaten yoll of egg; then
cook in the oven and serve as soon as
the tops are we'll covered-ten TO fif-
teen minutes.
Gingerbread-Pu into a basin six
ounces of fresh butter and half pound
of treacle. Warm thoroughly in the
oven. In another basin put two break
fast cupfuls of -four, a tablespoonful of
sugar, teaspoonful Of ground ginger,
the same of mixed spice, and a tea,
spoonful of carbonate of soda. Mix
add the warm treacle and butter, and
enough warm milk to make a stiff
batter. Bake in a moderate oven in 6
shallow, well-greased tin.

THE ICE CREAM CONE.

Freezers of the smallest size have
made it the work of a few moments
to prepare a pint of cream or of GUS
tard Tor freezing.
This renders it possible to combine
the frozen tidbit with other desserts
during the warm weather to the great
improvement of the latter.
To the children the little inverted
cone of vanilla cream surrounding a
baked apple or a saucer of berries is
luxury exemplifed and even pater-
families will smile upon the novelty.
The cream or water ice is so easy
to do that Lizzie or Bridget will not
object to the slight additional trouble
If her own portion is carefully reserv-
ed for her.

cRYsTALLIzED ORANGES.

These should not be prepared long
before they are served, but are de-
licious. Two ways of doing it are
given below:
Peel the orange carefully, removing
every bit of the white pith next the
yellow rind, remove every seed, and
cut crosswise into thin slices with a
very sharp knife. Beat the whites of
two eggs until no longer stringy, dip
the slices of orange in this until we'll
coated, then dip into powdered sugar,
let dry and repeat the process, serv-
ing very soon after the last drying
Another way is to take small, sweet
oranges, and divide by pulling the Sec
lions apart, after removing the rind,
and remove the seeds from each Sec
ton carefully; dip each section into a
, rich syrup made with one and one
half cupfuls of granulated sugar and
one cupful of water. Dip the sections
thoroughly in this, and lay to drain
on waXed paper, and when dry, dip a
second, and a third time. The third
time, before they are quite dry, roll
them lightly in a mixture of chopped
malaga raisias and powdered pecan
meats. If intended for picnic dinners,
fold each piece in waXed paper.

BEAUTIFYINe THE SKIN.

Here is a process for identifying
the skin which l find in an old, old
scrap book, and as it is very simple,
and, unless in rare cases., harmless,
one might give it a trial; it is
claimed that it is very efficacious in
cases of tan, freckle, blackheads or
oily skin, but if the skin is very ten
der from exposure to the sun, or if the
skin has been blistered in any way,
it's use is not advised: An hour or
, more before the treatment is to be
given, take six ounces of sweet milk
and pour it over enough fine table salt
to make a thick, creamy mixture; coat
the face well with this substance, and
after covering every part, including
| the neck, allow the mixture to become
completely dry on the skin. Then,
with the fingertips commence very
, gentle massage with the view of re-
moving all the grains of salt that re-
main on the surface of the skin.
When this is accomplished, apply a
good skin food manipulating the flesh
as in the usual massage. The result
is said to be a much whittier, finer
skin, in an extremely smooth condi,
ton, which is partly the result of the
manipulation. At first a decided
smarting and burning sensation is said
to be felt on the first application, but
it soon wears away. A very excellent
massage cream can be made after the
following formula: Almond oil, six
ounces; lanolin, one ounce; white wax
one ounce; spermaceti, two ounces

Other Uses.

Besides the fruit desserts just men
toned, a cone of cream in vanilla or
other flavor lis extremely good on
many kinds of pudding.
On brown betty, bread, fruit tapioca
and even rice pudding it is highly pre-

most minds, and is not more indigesti-

The improvement which a table
spoonful of ice cream makes in a por-

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR WOMEN.

While many women have taken up
photography as a pastime, some of
these women have developed into pro-
fessional artists, earning a good living
by their work. Women, as a rule, are
supposed to be more artistic than
men, grasping more readily the essen
tial ideas requisite for bringing into
effect some prominent feature of the
picture which men overlook. In pOr-

For instance, this one, which, al
though it takes little time, can be
made a success of by the culinary
tyro.

raw potatoes, two cups of tiny balls,
which cook in sailed water very care

To prepare the salad, cover the
platter with crisp lettuce leaves. Ar.

the center of the dish. Around them
group a second border of tiny white
bottled onions, and on the outside
group the red balls from the beets.
Sprinkle the whole literally with a
tasty French dressing, and serve with
toasted crackers and cream cheese.
Frozen Cheese.
No flavor is quite so delicious with
frozen cream cheese as that of the
preserved fig.
The frozen cheese itself, though its
cult is a new one, is easy to do.
Two of the little packages are beat
en- smooth with half cupful of
cream, whipped stiff. This mixture is
sweetened to taste, then put in a
mold and packed in ice and salt for
four hours.
When ready to serve, slice into
pieces, which can be two to three
inches thick; make a slight depres

There is a piquancy about spiced

A practical housekeeper has brought
forward a suggestion which she thinks
will help solve the maid problem.
She says that one reason girls who
are overcrowding factories and work
ing in restaurants at low wages cannot
be attracted to homework is because
of the social stigma. They and their
friends must go in and out the back
door They have no place to receive
and entertain their friends, especially
men, but the kitchen. 1t is true, that
there is something about this that the
self-respecting American girl and man
resent. And so the girl goes into
factories and laundries and such
places at net earnings far below what
she would make working in the home.
And the field of home work is demora-
lized.
This housekeeper, therefore, sug
gests that each community should
have Central House, sort of club
house, really, where the maids of that
community could live. In reality, il
would be their home. The bedrooms
should be dainty; there should be {
parlor, possibly a recreation room
where dances and other social affairs
could be given. In addition, if de
sired, there could be a restaurant fol
the public, and training school fol
domestic helpers. The house Nigh

indeed be open to women of other oc-
equations as a place to board, But in
no sense should it be a charity. And
it should primarily be a home for
those who were working in the homes
of the community. Here they could
receive their friends just the same as
they would in their own home or
boarding house, were they engaged in
some other occupation.
There is something to be said for
the suggestion. Without doubt, the
social stigma has much to do with

causes to be sure, but this is one.
And if this can be removed, it would
be we'll to remove it. With this out of
the way, perhaps some of the other
objections could be vanquished, and
the work gradually cleared of all OBJ
jectionable features. 1t is a problem
that sadly needs solving. On one side,
certain occupations are overcrowded,
and girls working at wages impossible
