EASY TO SATISFY ALL
SUGGESTION FOR PALATABLE
SALAD ACCESSORIES.
For Catering to Conflicting Tastes the
Various recommendations Given
Herewith VIII Be Found of
the Utmost Value,

With family divided In its salad
likes and disllkes the serving Of two
or three accessories with all plain
green salads is an easy way to sat
isfy conflicting tastes. In the list Of
these accessories may be classed
onions. chiyes, cabbage, sweet green
peppers, pimentos, cheese, fruits and
nuts of various kinds.
relish dish is convenient recep-
tacle for these salad additions. Into
one subdivision put celery clipped In
1ulienne shaped lengths; into another
thin shavings Of raw onion and into
third long slivers Of sweet green
pepper. By passing these at the
same time with the plain green salad.
each person at table Is at liberty to
follow his individual taste. A vegeta-
BILE or fruit salad can be made a
matter of personal choice simply by
serving sections of grapefruit or Or
ange in one subdivision of a relish
dish and quartered tomatoes or shred
ded cabbage In another.
Incidentally this feature can be
made decidedly ornamental part OF
the table service and add greatly to
the attracttveness of the salad course.
A circular or oblong dish having sew
eral sections can be decoratively ar
ranged by choosing salad accessories
Of contrasting color. Tiny balls OF
cream cheese rolled in minced pars-
ley will give a good touch Of color in
one subdivision. with sliced hard
boiled egg in another. wedges Of fresh
or canned pineapple in third and
strips of brilliant pimento In
fourth. The list Of decorative color
combinations is almost as varied as
the materials.
Where the taste of the househr'd is
divided as to salad dressing, 1t lit
tie more trouble to provide both
French and mayonnaise dressing
Have the French dressing we'll mixed
in pretty cruet and the mayonnaise
in a glass bowl about the size Of
finger bowl. These may be placed on
a tray and passed after the salad.
Many boiled cream and egg dressings
are now In favor for salads, and any
one of these may be served instead
Of the richer mayonnaise.
In the matter Of expense this sug-
gestion for salad serving, II wisely
carried out, will be found an actual
economy. Small portions Of celery,
a single green pepper or left-overs OF
cold cauliflower or asparagus may be
utilized in this form. Once tha home
caterer begins to practice VIII salad
accessories she will be surprised at
the wide range OF possibilities before

WITH HIGH OR NATURAL WAIST LINE,
WITH DRAPERY THAT CAN BE GATH.
Erred INTO POINTS OR LEFT PLAIN,
WITH SKIRT THAT is PERFORATED FOR
SHORTER TRAIN AND WALKING LENGTH.
Draped .kirts are always graceful and
attractive. The newest ones are excep-
tionally lovely and this one is among the
best. The foundation skirt is a simple
one cut in two pieces and the drapery
Is made in two. In one view, 1t is cutaway
at the fronts and drawn down to form
points; in another, it is Tapped in the
front as well as In the back and allowed to
hang free, and both styles a1e good. In
this case, the foundation is liberty attn
and the drapery Is embroidered net, but
plain and brocaded satin would be beau-
tiful made this way and brocaded velvet
would be lovely over plain velvet or over
satin, while there are many simpler fabrics
adapted to such treatment. Embroidered
and beaded nets are greatly in vogue and
would make exceedingly handsome
drapery over satin. Amber color and
white are essentially smart this season
and amber satin with drapery of white
net embroidered with amber beads would
be exquisite.
For the skirt with the long train will be
needed "A yards of material AZ, 31S
yards sc or "a inches wide; for walking
length 3A yards AZ, as yards s6 or a
inches wide; for the drapery al yards
AZ or 36 inches wide. The width Of the
skirt in walking length Is yards at the
lower edge.
The pattern Of the skirt 7622 is cut
in sizes from 22 to 80 inches waist measure.

the board B between pieces A, on
the high side OF the house.
The roof may be covered IN any one
Of several ways, The main thing to
look out for is that 1t will be water
tight. The method shown In Fig. l
Is to nail on covering OF boards,
fitted close together, and 80 cut as to
form projection Of several inches
over the ends and one side OF the
house, and then cover these with a
piece OF table oilcloth, tar paper or
heavy canvas. The latter should be
painted after 1t has been tackled on, to
make 1t waterproof. The method of
putting on two layers Of boards, with
the edges Of the upper boards Tapped
about one inch over the edges of the
lower boards Gig. 81 is a good one,
while II you can get a few shingles
you can have a splendid shingled roof.
If you shingle the roof, split up the
them of smaller proportions; also ex-
electric-bell, and connect the remain
ing bindingpost Of the battery with
that Of the bell.
Cut small slot through the back
board of the case for nail E. You will
see that when nail e is pushed up,
block G will turn, and that when nail
D strikes nail F the electric circuit
will be closed and the bell will ring.
The rubber-band G Gigs. 3 and g. Is
necessary to break the connection
when the pressure on nail e Is re-
moved.
Now all that is required to COM
plete the mechanism Is lever extend
Ing from the winding key Of the alarm
of your clock far enough over to strike
nail E, so that when the clock alarm
goes off 1t will push up nail e and
make the connection between nails
D and +. This lever (H, Fig. 81 may
be piece Of brass rod, or large wire
nail. 1t must be fastened In q wood
en- post q, Fig. 81, and the end Of this
post must be cut to fit over the alarm
key and be wired to 1t, as shown in
Figs. and s. All clock keys do not
| turn in the same direction when un-
winding. If the alarm key on your
clock turns from right to left In un-
winding, the lever will press nail H
down instead of up; In this case the
contact nails D and F must be so
placed that the contact will be made
when the nail e is pushed down. To
shut off the alarm, it is Of course only
necessary to give the alarm key half
! turn.
AS it will take very little material
to cover the woodwork, you will prob
ably have enough stain or paint left
over from some other work with
which to finish 1t.

A PAckINGcAsE DoG-HoUsE.

A substantial appearing dog-house.
placed In prominent part of the
yard, will of itself furnish to resi-.
, dence considerable protection from
thieves, tnasmuch as the average thief
will much prefer to pass by that house
than to run the chances of encounter
ing the dog, which he will naturally
assume to be somewhere upon the
premises. / do not mean to suggest
that you boys build dog-house II you
, do not own a dog-although this might
furnish good excuse for getting a
dog later, but Ii you have a dog do
not fail to take advantage OF this
means Of making known its presence
to all passersby.
The size Of the house will depend
largely upon the breed of your dog,
/ but in any case it is better to get the
quarters too large than too cramped
for space. In the case of pup, be
sure to provide for its full growth.
! The house shown In Fig. 1 is "a
inches wide, "a inches high at the
lowest point, and AZ inches long, which
/ Is about right for a dog Of medium
size. The easiest. way to build it is by
using a packing-case. One of these
can usually be obtained at a shoe
store or drygoods store for 25 or 80
cents. You can probably get one OF
yer nearly the dimensions given
above, but If all you come across are
too large one way or another 1t will
not take long to cut one down.
The first step In the construction
Of the house should be the cutting Of
the doorway. For a house Of the di-
mensions given, this will be about IL
inches wide and 20 inches high. Mark
1t out upon the end of the packing
case, with an arched top, as shown
Gig. p; then with your bit and bit
stock bore a series Of holes close to-
gether and Just inside of the line, and
with q compass-saw or other small
saw connect the holes and saw out
the entire opening. A wood file and
sandpaper may be used to finish Off
the opening. When the opening has
been cut, 1t will be necessary to bind
/ together the remaining ends Of the
boards on each side Of 1t with vertical
battens. Place these upon the inside
! (E, Fig. ~. The end Of one or more
Of the bottom boards will also have
to be connected to the boards adjo1n-
ing by means of a batten fastened
across the under side
| The dog-house may have either a
peaked roof or lean-to roof. The
latter is the better form IL you fasten
| the house against a wall or fence, as
In Fig. 1, which Is good plan If you
| place 1t to one side OF the yard. A
well-made packing-case is REINFORCED
at the ends with vertical battens, as
| yhown in Fig. 2, and for the purpose
Of extending these ends to meet the
slanted roof, several inches of the up
per ends Of these battens should be
sawed off Gig. q. One or two nails

Training Babies While They sleep.
The fretful baby may be lulled
into reposeful slumber by his
mothers grooming lullaby. Let
the mother break forth In a
swinging melody sung in a high
key and see how quickly the
baby Is disturbed and awakened.
1t is the tune sung In a low,
soothing tone that is the most
Quieting. The words of the song
have little influence on the child.
1t is the tone of voice more than
words. The mother may change
the words Of the song and even
carry on a conversation IL she
keeps the same pitch and rhythm
without disturbing the child
Psychologists have carried on
numerous experiments to deter
mine the extent to which a child
can be Influenced by its sur
roundings during sleep. 1t is
claimed that wonderful results
have been obtained by having
the mother talk to her child
while it is sleeping. Perhaps the
best results are obtained during
the period that just precedes
sound sleep. when the conscious
will has been soothed In to
Quistude and yet all the recep-
tive faculties are still awake.
Even though the words them
selves and the thought are not
understood by the infantils mind,

CLYDE Van Wormer Here.

Clyde Van Wormer of Lafayette,
Oregon, is here on visit to relatives
and will remain a month. Clyde is
Princeton boy, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Van Wormer, who went west
seven years ago. He is engaged as a
school teacher in Oregon and likes
the country, but is gald to visit his
old home again. He says his father,
who is farming and fruit raising, is
doing we'll, although he lost large
number of his apple trees recently.
They became affected with Jose
scale and the state Inspector ordered
the tops of them cut off. With the
tops off the trunks can be treated for
the disease, but it will take six or
seven years for the trees to grow new
tops and again bear fruit.

Pressed the Wrong Lever.

E.. t. whitney motored over to
Cambridge on Sunday in Jay Herd
liska's small Maxwell automobile and
all went we'll until he started on the
return trip. Then, when about five
miles out of Cambridge, the machine
commenced to skid and Whitney
placed his foot on what he supposed
was the brake apparatus, but instead
he turned on more gasoline. The
result was that the machine went up
into the air, made several revolu-
tions and landed with a crash. One
of the wheels of the car was
smashed, two tires punctured and
other damage sustained-it was
necessary to expend 500 or more to
repair it. Luckily Whitney was not
injured.
1t appears that Whitney had been
accustomed to run a Ford machine,
which is differently constructed from
a Maywell-hence the mistake of
turning on the gasoline instead Of
operating the brake.
