FOLDING TABLE MOST HANDY

Economized.

For the small apartment where
every inch of space must be econo-

TO MAKE MOLASSES CANDY
Recipe That Comes Direct From
Louisiana, the Home Of This De-
Iieious Connection.

Louisiana is rightly the home Of mo-
lasses candy, for it was right here
(where sugar was first raised in the
United States, and molasses, sweet
and health giving, was first given to
the world) that molasses candy, or
candle tire" as the Creoles call 1t,
had it's birth. Candle tire" parties,
or molasses candy pullings, were
among the pleasurable incidents OF
life among the early bellies and beaux.
Take one quart Of molasses, one table
spoonful butter, one pound granulated
sugar, two tablespoonfuls vinegar, one
half teaspoonful soda and the juice
of one lemon. Boil the molasses and
sugar until it becomes thick when
dropped into water. Add the vinegar,
lemon and butter. Boil until it har-
dens when dropped into water, stir IN
small half teaspoonful bicarbonate
of soda, and pour into buttered tins.
AID as soon as it begins to cool, suffi-
cient1y, pull until white. Moisten the
hands, while pulling, with ice water
or butter. The sticks may be single,
twisted, braided or aattened, accord
ing to taste.

How the Nearsighted Old Man Al
most Slept Himself to Death,
Never Eating.

It seems that an old man with some
property had married an elderly lady.
The lady was a sprightly dame. eXecu-
tive, lively and keen. The bridegroom
could not see more than an inch be-
yond his nose. and he was pretty hard
OF hearing, too. So he depended a good
deal On his wife, you understand He'd
wake up in the morning and wonder If
Il wasn't time to get up for breakfast.
So he'd slide out of bed and look into
his wtfes room. II she was up. he'd
begin dressing; If she was still in the
hay. he'd go back and have another
nap. Well, the lady got on to this habit
of his. She fixed up dummy out of
bedclothes one morning just before
she went downstairs. The old man
came into the room an hour later,

NOTE IN COLOR HARMONIES

The subtlety of the color harmonies

of soft gray chiffon marquisette. 1t
is wonderful what effect can be Great

CHAPTER K.

"Now Tom" said Betty, with a lit
tie air of excitement as she rose from
the breakfast table that first morn
ing at Belle Plain, Il want you TO
show me everything!
Il reckon you'll notice some
changes" remarked Tom.
He went from the room and down
the hall a step or two in advance OF
her. On the wide porch Betty paused,
breathing deep. The house, stood on
an eminence; directly before 1t at the
bottom of the slight descent was a
small bayou, beyond this The forest
stretched away in one unbroken mass

paused.

Ware glanced about with dull eyes.

morning; you poke about and see
what you want done and We'll do it,

his Office.
Betty returned to the porch and
seating herself on the top step, with
her elbows on her knees and her chin
sunk in the palms OF her hands, gazed

HOW TO COOK BACON
NEED NOT ALWAYS BE SERVED
IN SAME OLD WAY.
Should Be Thoroughly Chilled Before
Frying to Get Best ResuIts-Vari-
Gus Nice Ways of Serving as
Breakfast Dish.

There Is a proper and an improper
way to cook bacon. One unfortunately
sees too much of the latter. Baked
on a rack or a broiler, it is consider
ed more wholesome than when 1t Is
fried, but most of the trouble with
fried bacon lies not in the fact that 1t
Is fried, but rather in the way 1t Is
fried. Il is too often sent to the table
either half cooked and floating In
grease. or else it is dried up and half
burned.
To fry bacon ideally, it should, after
it has been cut into thin slices, be
placed on ice to become thoroughly
chilled The pan must be very hot, so
that the bacon curls into little rolls as
soon as the pan is shaken. Fry 1t
thoroughly, but not long enough to
harden it.
Bacon baked as follows Is free from
grease: Cut it into thin slices and
place them on a rack such as is used
for roasting meat or upon grldlron
placed over a dripping pan. Have the
oven very hot and let the slices re-
main in it until they are crisp and
bro-n
The following is a unique way OF
broiling bacon: Cut it into thin slices
as usual, place cracked ice over them,
and let them stand In this way until
they are chilled. After broiling the
slices on one side place them again
on the ice In a moment or two put
back on the fire, and broil them on the
other side un:il done. The sudden
change of temperature is believed to
improve bacon.
There are iaany nice ways OF serV-
Ing bacon as 4 breakfast dish. Toma-
toes fried with bacon are favorlte
dish in many English households. Cut
the tomatoes (in slices, season with
salt and pepper, and, if preferred, dip
in egg and bread crumbs before fry
ing.
A catsup gravy is very nice when
fried in bacon. Pour off the super
fluous grease after frying, add little
catsup mixed with water and thicken
with flour, if necessary. About quar-
lci VI d Cuplul VI "dlCl 40 ouOOo W
half cupful of catsup.
Fried bacon with cream gravy makes
a nice breakfast dish in spring. with
corn bread. After cooking the bacon
free it from super1uous grease. Add
a little flour and milk to the drippings
that remain, cook the sauce on top of
the stove and pour it over the bacon.
Another way to prepare this dish is %
soak the bacon in cold milk for 20
minutes before cooking, afterward
dipping the slices in -four and frying
in very hot creased frying pan. The
soaking in milk gives a fine flavor to
the bacon and the flour, and the flour
insures a crisp crust. Shake the pan
we'll while cooking, and after brown
ing thoroughly on both sides remove
the bacon. Pour off superfuous grease
and place the slices on rough brown
paper to absorb any fat that may ad-
here to the outside. Stir into the fry
ing pan one or two tablespoonful Of
flour, gradually adding the milk the
bacon was soaked in, and season with
salt and pepper. When the sauce is
thick pour it over the bacon and serve
at once.

Cultivate Neatness.

Tidiness is one of the most attrac-
tive of feminine qualities. 1t is also
one of the rarest. Early and persistent
must he the training which carries
the girl into womanhood with her
bump of neatness" well developed.
Unless inherently fastidious during
school days, she is liable to drift into
careless habits which she never out
grows.
One girl may have trick Of leaving
shoes about her room. AS a child she
was permitted to do this, and as she
grew older the untidy custom was
never abandoned, for the simple rea-
son that she herself did not notice
anything unusual about it, and prob
ably nobody else took the trouble to
correct her. Another slovenly habit is
leaving q bunch of combings in the
comb or on the dressing table. Con-
stant vigilance on a woman's part Is
necessary in these small matters II
she would be thought really tidy.
