HOW TO COOK ONIONS
THEY NEED NOT ALWAYS BE
 PLAIN BOILED OR FRIED.
Formula for stuffing Them With sau sage and Egg-Variaticns in Pre- pairing Potatoes and Cauli-
 flower.

The days are here when the averas- housewife who must cater for herself IS put upon her mettle as a marketer.
 Onions we always have with us. and they are excellent in other ways besides plain boiled or fried, as they commonly figure in the household plan. For instance, they can be stuffed. the sweet Bermuda onions be- ing specially good for the purpose. Here is one popular formula:
 Large specimens are selected and boiled until nearly tender, but not quite so. The inside is taken out, taken out with three cooked sausages. hard-boiled egg, two tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, seasoning as liked, an ounce of butter, four drops of ta- basco and a little minced parsley The shells are filled with this mixture, cracker crumbs scattered over the top, tiny bit of thin bacon is put on each, after which they are baked 30 minutes, or until agreeably soft.
 Potatoes, the dependable, have the culinary virtue of being infinitely vari- able. For instance, when boiled and baked and fried they have become a little wearisome and the homely tu- bers are no longer young enough to carry sauce gracefully, try them baked with eggs. For a moderate sized dish in this style you will need four cold-boiled potatoes and six hard boiled eggs, all cut in slices about fourth of an inch thick.
 Put a layer of the potatoes in the baking dish, which must be well but tered, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cover with a layer of the eggs. Repeat this, and pour over the result two cups of thin white sauce. Cover with cracker crumbs soaked in butter. and bake until brown on top.
 For those to whose digestions the sturdy sausage filings would be anath. ema, this more delicate method may appeal.
 Cook and scoop out the vegetables as before, but stuff with a filling made of equal parts of chicken (cooked), loft stale bread crumbs, and the re- moved part of the onions. This should be slightly seasoned with salt and pepper, if liked, and Is to be moistened with little cream or melt ed butter. Sprinkle with crumbs soaked in butter and bake as de scribed above.
 In cooking caulifiower, try simmer ing it tender in half milk and half water, it greatly improves the flavor and appearance of the flower. After ward the liquor, which will have boiled down in the process, for this vegetable should never be cooked with the lid on the vessel, may be thickened with butter and flour. after which one has a tasty sauce with out further trouble

 In the carriage. grasping the lines 1n pretty ungloved fingers. sat a girl whose lips smiled encouragingly.
 You are the new trustee?" she in- quired. in a pleasant voice that some how seemed to speak of hidden strength.
 Brant bowed his head in uncomfort- able silence.

 Brant shufied the papers awkward ly in his fingers.

 All the amusement dropped out of the girls face, and her eyes suddenly looked intense and anxious.

 When the girl tried to express her thanks, his bashfulness returned with a flood, and he stalked into the house almost rudely.
 During the weeks that followed Brant never spoke a word to the little school teacher, but always before him was the sweet face, and his heart warmed every time he thought how her eyes had lighted over that paltry additional dollar

CARD INDEX FOR KITCHEN
Every Housewife Will Be Glad t Have This Service for Filling Away
 Her Recipes.

The housewife whose kitchen is full of modern appliances will hail with de light the new kitchen card index for favorite recipes, cleaning devices and other useful information which each new cook has to be taught.
 The young housewife may start with a few cards in a small index set on tue kitchen dresser, then as she ac cumulates more and more useful in- formation or gets better recipes for the same things she can discard and enlarge her files until she has enough to fill up one drawer or small cabin ct which may be put on shelf in g convenient spot.
 Then when she wants to clean some thing and is not quite sure how to do 1t, she opens the drawer, finds the name of the article, and there is the very latest idea, clipped perhaps from the daily paper or supplied by friend, telling her how to do the cleaning and exactly what the results will be.
 A small index may be made at home out of a stiff shoe box, or in fact any cardboard box, divided of by strips or cardboard with a letter clearly in- scribed at the top.
 Between these 26 partitions, put blank cards. which may be bought at any stationer's shop. and write or typewrite on them clearly the recipe you want to remember, or paste your newspaper clippings on them in al phabetical order, and your index is complete.

NOVEL COFFEE PERcoLAToR
Extracted Without Boiling the Ground Berry.

A device for making coffee that is said to be a big improvement over the old-style coffee pot has been de. signed by a New York man. This ia called the coffee percolator and the advantage Is that the essence of the coffee is extracted without boiling the to nberate the injurious tannic acid. The percolating device consists of two metal cups. one to fit in the other and both to rest in the top of an ordinary coffee pot or any similar vessel. The lower cup has a fine metal strainer and has a rim which supports it on the pot The other cup has perfora- tions so graduated as to regulate the

Do not wash the prints after soaking them in the ammonia solution A stronger or weaker bath may be used as the prints seem to require.

Through the graduated perforations this water will slowly trickle into the cup below and seeping through the coffee will absorb It's essence and drip into the bottom of the pot. The cups are then removed and the liquid poured.

 The midsummer fashions are des- tined to be most midsummery. Slow ly we approach that which is at once beautiful and comfortable. And now that Paris is turning out boldly a corsetless gown, and a bifurcated skirt which are taken seriously enough to be insistently reported, it looks as if new order of things were coming.

 that is beautiful. That bows of narrow velvet ribbon, or of folded satin, finish the center of larger bows of lace at the tLroat. Flower forms in shower effezts, like that shown in the picture, made of baby velvet rib bon and saIin ribbon. and neck bands of black velvet studded with tiny roses arid forget-me-nots of narrow ribbon have proved fascinating addi- tionz to the chiffon blouses, now the vogue.
 Very small flowers made of silk or Yibbon or metal tissues, or of all of them combined were never SO fully appreciated as they are right now. They adorn neckwear and bodices and millinery. Occasionally they appear on skirts. Nothing outvies them but the new beaded decorations. Small beads such as the Indians use are a feature of the season. Fabrics are cleverly woven to look as if beaded and one must examine at close range to be able to tell The effects are very unusual.
