We reckoned that a pa- per bag would have saved her half pound weight of beef, equivalent to twelve cents, the cost of many paper bags. Indeed 1 felt that the gas sav- ing alone would have more than paid for the bag, the clips, the greasing, Moreover, my beef was tenderer than hers, had a richer taste, nd was juicier.
 Smothered Chicken. Have a good sized broiler cut into joints, taking care not to leave sharp bones to the joints. Salt and pepper them lightly. dredge with flour and l~y in well- creased bag upon thin slices of bacon. Cover with more bacon slices, taking care to keep the chicken spread rather flat, Add tablespoonful of water, or a couple of peeled and sliced tomatoes. Shreds of green pep per add somewhat of flavor to the to- matoes. Seal in bag a--d cook for forty minutes, stacking heat almost half after the first five minutes.

PLAIN BOASTS.

SirIoin, Round, or Ribs of Beef.- Grease well with drippings (but this is not absolutely necessary. Put the joint in bag. Do not season the joint before cooking. Put the joint on a broiler, in a moderate oven. For three-pound joint allow forty-iye minutes; a seyen-pound joint, ar hour and twenty minutes; fourteen pounds, two hours and fifteen minutes.
 Veal Mutton, or Pork can be cooked in the same way as beef If a thick gravy is required, roll the Joint in four before placing in the bag. AL low the same time as fo" beef.
 Roast Chicken.-Cover the breast of the fowl or chicken with butter or drippings, or, better still, tie a piece of fat bacon over it. Place in bag and set on broiler in hot oven. AL low twenty-five minutes for small spring chicken, thirty-five minutes for a large fowl, forty-fve to fifty min utes (according to size) for stuffed poultry or game, in a moderate oven.
 Roast Turkey or Goose.-Allow one and quarter nours in a moderate oven; if stuffed, allow one hour and forty-five minutes to two hours.

TO SET OFF THE GOWN
DAINTY COELARETTE IS ALMOST
 A NECESSITY.
May Be Simple and Effective, and Yet Not Costly-Deseription of Some of the Designs Most in
 Vogue.

The most simple frock of linen, lawn or gingham will appear decidedly modish and attractive if adorned by a collarette of sheer embroidered linen, net or lace.
 These dainty accessories to the sum- mer froek may be extremely elaborate and cost fabulous sum, or they may be simple and effective. yet be "pur- chased for a song"
 Collarettes are practical addition to the wardrobe. They may be worn with number of plain dresses to con- stitute their only trimming
 Odds and ends of lace, embroidery and fine materials may be utilized in fashiontng these pretty bits of neck wear by the clever woman
 The collarette following the sloping shoulder line is of sheer white linen. Braids of striped linen of dark and light blue were used as trimming.
 Two rows of small crocheted but tons adorned the front and back of the collarette.
 One of the prettiest designs for this season was of heavy linen. The col lar was cut double, the top being of white and the lower dark blue.

SATIN BLOUSES
Striking Hues Are Very Much in Fa- vor in the Makeup of This
 Popular Garment.

Many very soft satin blouses are seen in such colors as taupe-gray, prune, bright purple, and black, con- bined with white. These are very simple in design. The neck is cut low, and generally finished with a plain, round, white null collar which some times Is made bit more elaborate by hand-embroidery. The back of the blouse is perfectly plain, and the white is attractively introduced as a vest ornamented with little buttons matching in color the blouse.
 Tt is quite the fashion these days to combine brilliant color with a more subdued one, as Oxford gray and Chinese blue. Many blue shades and brown tones will be worn," says the Woman's Home Companion. At the most exclusive houses we find cinna- mon brown fabrics, and others in the coq-de-roche, that burn orange shade of which the Parisienne is so fond''

DUEL BETWEEN PAN AND FAC.
By Martha MccuIloch Williams.

By Martha Mcculloch Williams.
 Experience has been mr only school which, perhaps, accounts for the fact that I hold no opinions half heartedly. Especially about cooking t. seems to me the finest of fine arts, all too much misprised, and held a drudgery instead of a privilege. Pos sibly this makes me reactionary-a holder-fast to old methods. Certainly when Soyer's paper bag cookery was suggested to me, there was not a stouter skeptic in all these United States. Soyer's experience did noth- ing to change my mind. Rather, it convinced me that paper bag cooking was one of the things that cost more thar they come to. For I set myself this sum. Bags plus greasing, plus clips, equal the cost of many sauce pans. Furthermore, 1t is against sense and reason that the mere put ting of food in a bag should either hasten the cooking or better the fla vor of it. Thus I argued the case forthrightly, but ended by conces- bion-I would try out paper bags and see what l should see
 The hrst bag left me warmly tri- Amphant.
 Wisdom ferments like yeast. As acquired it, there was no keeping it to myself. It dripped down upon my next story neighbor, cook both born and made. She was interested but cly ln notwithstanding of an open mind. So when I proposed an experiment-a culinary duel, if you please-whose result was to be decided by the scales, she was ready, even eager to engage in It.
 Each of us bought rib roast-hers weighing four pounds, mine but three. To the eye, they were identical save in the matter ot size And our gas ranges are oven-brothers, mc 1e by ex- actly the same pattern. Her roast went into pan, mine into a bag. Not having to haste nor watch mine, after the flame was turned down properly, had liberty to run in on her and see how she fared. She was doing her best-a best that is superlative, watching and basting her beef with the skill of chef. The result was something beautiful to behold when she took it out after little more than an hour. Mine was still in the oven, it's bag intact, though I had turned out the gas after forty-fve minutes. It had not been on full fer forty min utes, whereas my neighbor had kept hers lowered only the least bit. The exact saving of gas I do not under take to compute-but that tAere was a saving is beyond question.
 The scales showed her roast to have lost in weight a fraction over nine ounces. Mine, lighter by pound, had lost a fraction under two ounces. Furthermore all tho strength

BOON TO THE SLENDER PURSE.

1t is as true as 1t is piteous that the poor is destroyed by his pover- ty.' Strength and competence, the high roads of escape from poverty, depend primarily on health, which in turn depends so much upon food. For these many, many years 1t has been patent that many of our fellow ereat- ures have been handicapped in the race of life by improper food or the improper preparation of cheap food that would be health-giving in ample quantity if prepared properly for the palate.
 There is opening DOW an avenue Of possible escape. mean the paper bag. By it's help, the cheap cuts which alone are within the compass of slender purses, may be cooked in such fashion as yield the last grain of nourishment they contain, and be bettered in the process. Further, they will sauce and season much other cheap food-stuff, thereby dou- bling or trebling it's dietetic value.
 This can be accomplished through the medium of stews.
 Meat for stewing may be bought at the lowest current prices--fank, neck scrag, shank-it Is all the same to the bag. Have a care in cutting 1t up, that no sharp bones are left project ing. Wash clean, but very quickly, after cutting up, dry with a damp cloth-which is not paradoxical though it sounds so-season lightly with salt and pepper and let He for an hour in d cool place. Wash the vegetables carefully, cut them up, and put in cold water.
 Grease a roomy bag very well-a stew of all things needs not to be skimped in space. Put thick layer of the mixed vegetables, dripping wet, at the bottom of 1t, on that layer of meat, then more vegetables, the rest of the meat, then the last of the vegetables, thrusting in among them a good lump of fat, either drip pings, butter or lard, that has been rolled in flour. Pour in tablespoon ful of water for each pound of meat, fold the bag, clip it 0xtra securely, put in a hot ovsr, after ten minutes reduce the heat one-half, and cook from two to three hours, depending on the bulk. Take up in a deep dish, stir well, taste, add more salt and pepper if needed, and serve very hot.
 The proportion of vegetables to meat may be three to one, or even four to one, if there is plenty of extra fat.

HARD TO DROP But Many Drop 1t.

A young Calf. wife talks about coffee:
 Tt was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum trial, but my nerves were so shattered that I was nervous wreck and of course that means all kinds of ills.
 "At first I thought bicycle riding caused it and I gave it up, but my con- dition remained unchanged. did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble for was very fond of it.
 About that time friend came to live with us, and I noticed that after he had been with us a week he would not drink his coffee any more I asked him the reason. He replied, I have not had a headache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, anyway, after drink ing Postum'!
 q said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were convinced that coffee caused his suf- 'fering, so we returned to Postum, con- vinced that the coffee was an enemy, instead of friend, and he is troubled no more by insomnia.
 T, myself, have gained pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now to quit the old coffee that caused our aches and ills and take up Postum." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

FRILLS WILL BE MUCH WORN
Good Occupation for Leisure Mo- ments Is the Making of These
 Dainty Ornaments.

The girl who would occupy her leis- ure with work for her summer ward robe can make herself some frills, whose popularity still continues in a modified form.
 One new frill that can be buttoned to any plain blouse is made of white dotted net, pleated to a half-inch cen tral band of white wash silk embroid- cred with coin dots. The friIl is dou- ble, and an inch and half wide on the right of the band. and tapered frtll three inches wide at the top and narrowed to point on the left of the band. This wide frill has set in it three quarters of an inch from the edge a band of the embroidered wash silk to match the central strip.
 Another frtll easily made Is of heavy fish net trimmed on the edge, but not across the top, with an inoh and half strip of shadow lace inser- ton. The frin is then bound across the

Medical Paper Draws Contrast Be tween Care of Babies and
 Bugs.

Are the children of the United States worth one-eighth as much as the bugs? Andrew J. Peters, member of congress from Massachusetts. asked this rather startling question at Louis vile recently at mass meeting on child labor
 Mir. Peters showed that the bureau of animal industry costs the country $1,654,750 a year. and that the bureau of plant industry costs $2,051. .686. The proposed children's bureau would cost $29,4 ,440 and would investigate child labor, infant mortality and other important phases of child conserva- ton. It is being opposed. of course, by some manufacturers who want to employ babies in cotton mills, coal mines and other places admirably adapted for the growth of mind and body and the development of sturdy American men and women.

MADE IT ALMOST TOO STRONG
Bachelors Excuse for Not Visiting the "Only Baby" Almost Cost Him
 Fathers Friendship.

One of my closest friends" said a Philadelphia bachelor, "is the proud father of a newly-arrived baby boy. For some days I've had a sneak ing and guilty feeling that I ought to visit him and make some comment on the obvious superiorities of his off spring. 1 couldn't bring myself to do 1t, though, because, according to my way of thinking, no baby is human un- til it is at least one year old. I'm not very keen about associating with in- fants, anyway but I draw the line absolutely until the year mark rolls around.
 By way of apology, however, I decided to call up my friend on the telephone The first question he ask ed was why I hadn't been over to see Toodles.
 Well, old man, said, I've been intending to get around to see that boy of yours. In fact, made note of it six weeks ago.
 sIndeed!' he answered, and never before have I known a man to inject so much sarcasm in one small word. Well, it happens, he continued, that the boy has only been in this world three weeks
 Tt took me<ten minutes to regain his friendship"

Are Children Worth Saving?

of child labor is regarded as an un- warranted invasion of personal liber- ty. Certainly! Public schools were so regarded in their early days. No doubt we shall soon have a national league for juvenile freedom. secretly financed by the coal and cotton barons and demanding for the child the right to labor when and where it pleases. In the meantime,> if congress believes the baby crop is worth as much or one-tenth as much as the fruit crop, a children's bureau should be establish ed without delay .--American Medical Association Journal.

white makes this "dressy" enough for the thinnest frock of blue or pink lawn. A small flat bow of black satin is worn at the neck.
 White linen of the finest weave formed the square collarette. A fine ly pleated frill of black tuile finished the edge.
 The graceful jabot worn with this was graduated pleating of the tulle. White tulle may be substituted for the black if desired.
 Stylish to the extreme sense of the word is the Pierrot collarette of sheer white linen. A band of linen embroid- cred with bright pink dots bordered the edge.
 The bow is of black satin. This Is a splendid model to wear with a frock of pale rose linen or gingham.
