TRIMMING FOR LEGHoRN HAT
Garland Of Highly coIored Flowers
the Most Appropriate That Can
Be Devised.

A round leghorn seen recently had
a garland of fiat flowers applied tight
to the brim near its edge. A band Of
blond inserting about eight inches
wide was laid on the brim over the
flowers and gathered in around the
crown by tight chain Of flowers.
This hat was decidedly low. the
crown being hardly more than three
inches. The lace heading stood up
around the crown and was about an
inch higher Naturally this formed
rather full ruche, since the insert
ing covered the whole brim and this
edge was corded with French blue vel
vet. which reminds us to record the
fact that touches Of blue and other
colors are often introduced on hats
by means of n binding or very small
bow, usually of velvet ribbon. French
blue, primrose and mustard are the
colors most often introduced in this
way. This is Partisan touch. quite
out of the ordinary. and clever way
of mingling colors. for nowadays most

NUTS AS FOOD.

Nuts may be served au naturel or
in croquettes, salads. desserts or
soups; in fact they may be used In
such variety of ways that space Will
not permit Of the list. Think OF nuts
as meat and they will not be served
after hearty meal as dessert.
Peanut Puree-Take a pint OF pea
nuts, shelled and the brown skin re-
moved, and pound to a paste. Peanut
butter may be used in place OF the
paste. scald a pint Of milk, add the
peanuts to a pint Of white stock.
thicken with two tablesroonfuls Of
-four and little of the milk mixed;
add seasonings and the milk. Serve
hot after the flour is we'll cooked.
Walnut croquettes-Cook together
a cup of milk and cup of crumbs to
paste; add three-fourths Of cup
of walnuts, the yolks Of two eggs and
seasonings. Shape in balls and fry
in deep fat.
Peanut Candy.-Shell and remove
the brown husks from pound OF pea
nuts. Roll with the rolling pin until
like coarse crumbs. Put on to the
stove a pound Of light brown sugar
and twelve level tablespoonfuls OF but
ter; stir constantly, and after the mix
ture begins to bubble cook ten min
utes, then stir in the nuts and pat out
into a pan to cool. Mark Off immedi-
ately, as 1t hardens very quickly.
Apple, nuts and celery with boiled
salad dressing is a salad universally
liked.
Walnuts added to baking powder

serve with tea or chocolate.
Ice cream may be made into a very
fancy dish II served in stem glasses.
sprinkled with chopped nuts and gar
nished with fresh cherry or straw

Nut and RaIsln FIIIins.-Chop fine a
cup of raisins. add a cup OF chopped
nuts. Beat an egg white stiff. add
two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and
half cup Of powdered sugar and
half teaspoonful Of salt Mix all to-
gether and use as filling in layer cake.
This combination Of nuts and fruit
may be added to boiled frosting
and Is even more palatable.

Pettticoat Pocket.

A novelty of the season which will
be received by many women with
gratitude is the petticoat with pock-
cts, which has been made in a really
practical manner, with two ample
pockets, one on either side. for the
accommodation of treasures too pre-
cious to trust to the handbag. says the
New York Herald. Especially will
this be useful now that the season of
travelling from place to place is about
to set in. The petticoat is made of
satin and the pockets are equipped
with flaps so that they will be entirely
safe.

Ancient Schooner.


The second Oldest schooner In the
United States is now tied up at Red
Beach. nine miles from Calais, her
home port. She is the Hiram, and
she was built IL years later than the
famous old Polly. Her keel was laid
down at Biddeford in 1919 and since
she was launched the little two-mast
ed schooner has led a strenuous life
up and down the Atlantic coast. AL
though the vessel has been repaired
time and again, she still has her
original keel and bottom. which are in
good condition. She Is 69.5 feet long

carried n crew of three. For manJ
years after she was built the Hiram
was commanded by members OF the

GOOD THINGS FOR HUSBANDS
CRONIEs.
By Marth. MecuIIoeh WIlIIa


Mans part at home is to endure all
things and eat all things. smiling as
though he liked 1t all. whatever the
facts in the case may be. And most
men. believe. nobly flI the part.
Therefore. 1t seems to me fitting that
every once in a while they should be
given, by way of reward, a supremely
maseuline evening. whereat 1t is un-
derstood that woman's part is to
stand in wait and supply the GOOD
things to eat-good things that have
been cooked to perfection in paper
bags.
AS to the nature of the evening. let
the man himself decide.
Many things heretofore described
in this column suit such festive occa-
sions. Savory mouthfuls, hot chicken
biscuits. hot oyster sandwiches, paper
bagged oysters either In shells after
Soyer's recipe. or cooked In quantity
with butter, cream and lemon Juice
and their own liquor added later
they all will satisfy hungry souls and
whet the palate for things potable.
especially II supplemented with
cheese crackers, also hot. salted nuts
OF any sort, olives warmed in very
little sherry, or crisp radishes and
Invariably good sharp cucumber
pickle.
Sliced beef crisped is not to be
Cespised. especially II the man of the
house has a weakness for ale or 'alf-
and-'alf. To go with 1t make pricked
biscuit; none you can buy will match
them. The foundation II pun paste.
and do not spare either shortening
or work in its making. Put in a
trihe more salt than for pastry uses.
roll out less than quarter inch
thick, and cut In rounds two and a
half inches across. Prick them we'll
over and bake crisp In well buttered
bag. Sprinkle about half Of them be-
fore baking lightly with dry mustard
or black pepper and paprika. or even
the barest busting Of cayenne. Keep
these seasoned biscuit separate from
tho plain ones and serve on separate
plates. Instead Of the mustard and
pepper, you can use finely grated
cheese. or lay a very thin slice of
cheese between two biscuit after bak-
ing and heat in a bag until the cheese
melts. Pimento cheese spread be-
tween such biscuit, which have been
very lightly buttered. also makes a
well favored mouthful.
