Light, tender dughnuts quite unlike
the usual solid kind are made with a
cupful of sugar, a ~teaspoonful Of butter.
two eggs and a cupful of milk. Mix q
scant pint of flour that has been sifted
with two rounding t~easpoonfuls of bak-
ing powder, making a paste that Is
soft. Stand the bowl containing It on
the ice until it Is very cold and then
roll 1t out and fry before it loses it's
shape. The idea Is to make the paste
a little softer than can be rolled before
it is stiff with cold and SO to use as
little flour as possible. The doughnuts
should be turned continually while they
are frying.
To clean stains from bone or ivory
handles on knives rub them with a soft
paste made by mixing whiting with
lemon juice. Rub it in well. rinse the
handles in warm water and dry them
carefully.
The cornmeal slapper is a Southern
pancake that is a popular staple in
one of the hotel restaurants. Have
ready two cupfuls of sifted meal and
wet it up with boiling water, just
enough to moisten it thoroughly. Add a
~teaspoonful of melted butter, a little
salt and a ~teaspoonful of sugar. Ler
the mixture cool and then peat in two
beaten eggs and milk to make a thin
batter. Fry the cakes on a griddle.

Easter Dance Favors.
Dear Miss Doom

-
Having decided to give a lance
three or -four days after Easter, 1
would appreciate it very much If you
will give me a little advice as to
favors for boys and girls whose ages
M from 20 to 23. The decorations
will be yellow daffodils. Would like
something very cute and in keeping
with the season. Also kindly tell me
what kind of flowers would look we'll
with a p-each-colored dress, the vel
1owish shade of peach. Thanking you,
yours very truly, BRUNETTE.
Use fancy Easter egg boxes filed with
pansies and violets and tied with
lemon-colored gauze ribbon for the
girls favors, and for the boys fill the
boxes with candy rabbits, chickens and
Easter eggs
Unless your gown will admit of a
bunch of pansies or violets to be in
harmony with the decorations, it will
be better not to wear flowers. If you
would find out just what will look best
with you dress, take a sample with
you to the florists and experiment
yourself. Study the colors in the but
~terfies and in the pansies If you would
know what colors to use together. 1t Is
almost impossible to tell you just what
to wear with the shade you describe, as
there are SO many shades called by that
name.

Treatment for the Feet.

Dear Miss Doom:
Having read with interest your valu-
able advice TO others, L will ask that
You suggest a remedy for perspiring,
i1l-smelling feet. Trusting to be fa-
vored with an answer in an early is
sue, / remain.
A CONSTANT READER.
Warm salt baths twice a day will do
a great deal toward restoring the feet
to their normal condition. Into a foot
tub half filled with lukewarm water put
two handfuls of sea salt. Soak the feet
In this before retiring at night, and
upon arising in the morning. Follow
h soaking by a cold water shower.
Dry the feet thoroughly with a rough
towel, taking particular care to see
that there is no moisture left between
the toes. Before retiring u the feet
with alcohol or witch-hazel. Put on
clean hose once a day OF twice a day
IL necessary. Powder both the feet and
the hose every day with powdered boric
acid. Be sure to let the shoes air
thoroughly every night. It is wise to
have two pairs Of shoes SO that they
may lave a longer airing period.
l am sure if you follow these direc-
lions faithfully ycur feet troubles will
o o be at an end.

COLLAR AND CUFFS

A pretty and practical use to which
to put Turkish toweling is an attract
i've collar and cuff set for the coat or
even for the frock of linen. The collar
is cut IN the lines of the simple Dutch
collar and sealioped at edge with a
colored floss. Above the edge dots of
color are used, and running from four
or five of the scallop points a little
vine effect. Loops of velvet matching
the color used for embroidery hold the
collar together at front and about the
edge of he velvet loops appear a mar
row scallop of Irish crochet.
The cuffs to complete these sets are
made about three and one-half inches
in depth and finished with scallops,
dots and vines to match the collar.

The blouse that takes pretty, soft
folds and lines is always a becoming
one. This model is unusually graceful
and attractive. and it car be made
adapted to either evening or daytime
wear, as it is finished with or without
the chemisette and undersleeves. In
the illustration it is made Of chiffon
and the girdle is of satin embroidered
with beads, while bead fringe edges
the sleeves, but the model will be
found a good one for all soft materials
that drape effectively, wolfe and mar
quisette, messaline and the like quite
as we'll as the chiffon. The girdle can
be finished at either the high or
natural waistline. so that it suits all
figures, and If a simpler blouse is
wanted 1t can be omitted altogether
and the fronts and backs crossed in
surplice style. If a half low neck
wanted the chemisette can be used an |
cut out on either the round or square
outline. In whatever way it is treated,
whether made with high, low or half
low neck, the blouse is a charmingly
attractive one, suiting almost all
figures. The high pointed girdle Is ex-
ceedingly smart and altogether to be
commended when it Is found becoming,
but when a longer waistllne is needed
1t Is wise to omit 1t and to finish the
blouse with a straight girdle of any be-
coming width. There is a fitted lining
on which the various parts r ar
ranged, and the closing is made in
visibly at the back. The blouse itself
is cut in two pieces, shirred over the
shoulders and at front and back. The
pointed girdle is adjusted over 1t.
For the medium size will be required
az yards of material q or So, IL yards
A inches wide, with % yard 36 for the
girdle. 1 yard Of fringe and ~ yards
IS inches wide for the chemisette and
undersleeves.
The May Manton pattern, No 1888,
is cut in sizes from "a to AZ inches bust
measure. and will be mailed to any ad-
dress by the fashion department of
this paper on receipt of ten cents.
