EFFICIENT
HOUSEKEEPING
4 Sunday Dinner
By HENRIETTA d. CRAUEL
domestic Science Lecturer)

Good dinners have been cooked and eaten IN all ages, but Sunday
dinners seen to stand apart, with a comfortable superiority, from all
others.
Decide though you will to have very simple ones, they always bios
sol into something pleasant and elaborate.
This is because Wiley knows that there will be plenty Of time this
she does not have to hurry back and get supper.
Oysters roasted in their shells until their edge curl and seasoned
with a little butter, pepper and salt makes a splendid first thing. There
is not enough to satisfy you and the plates are followed from the table
with eyes of longing.
Next you can have terrapin in a big chatting dish, steaming and
aromatic and rich. Or a fish course may follow.
But where's the family that would not prefer fried chicken? Real,
fried chicken, ut in sew pieces. legs wings, two pieces OF breast and
back, to say nothing of the td-bits-the liver, heart and gfzzard. Cook
claims the neck!
This chicken is not dipped in batter and fried in deep fat until it
seems to be encased in plaster Of paris and is hard dry and flavor
less. mot much" 1t is sailed and peppered and dredged lightly with
flour and fried slowly in equal parts of butter and lard, in a deep old
fashioned skillet. Each piece is turned and moved into the hottest spot
until every side is a glorious. tempting brown.
AS fast as 1t is cooked it is lifted out onto the hot platter, with
no suggestion Of oliness, but crisp and tender.
When it Is dished, cover with a napkin and make the cream gravy,
with milk and -four, in the same pan in which the chicken a fried.
Mashed potatoes, creamy and fluffy at heart, but we'll Drowned o n
top will do or Of the vegetables. but praised sweet potatoes seem

And of course you Will want corn bread with fried chicken. 1t
belongs there. too.
To make it like Marster's" scald two cups of white meal and
when coo mix in two teaspoons of sugar, three tablespoons of butter,
one teaspoon of salt three eggs beaten very light, and n cup of sweet
milk, This should make a soft batter. Beat hard.
Bake this In a n earthen dish in a moderate oven, forty-fve minutes.
1t will be puffy, moist and tender, and the real thing. Having found it
you will never lose it again.
After such a dinner who wants dessert? Every one, of course, and
here it comes:

NAPKIN RINGS MOST ORNATE
Elaborate and Dainty Dining Table
Accomplishments Made Both In
Silver and Gold.

Oblong napkin rings with squared
of ends are among the novelties In
table furnishings. They are developed
In silver and gold, decorated with an
engraved pattern or repousse pound
ed into an oriental design and In
carved ivory or painted celluloid.
These oblong rings r found cheek
by jowl with the holders Of circular
type which, instead Of being rather
ponderous affairs. are how decidedly
narrow and rather sparsely decorated.
They also lack the rolling double rims
which erstwhile distinguished such
rings.
Not especially substantial. yet won
derfully attractive, are the napkin
rings Of filigree silver. OF the most
delicate design and irregularly edged.

carefully handled they do not bend

So many girls have written asking
what entertainments they could give

Motor Accidents.

Accidents to automobiles are in
ereasing at an alarming rate and there
are many persons who feel now that
they are taking their lives in their
hands when they start out on motor
trip. The dangers of motoring, not
only in the crowded city, but also in
the country, cannot be exaggerated
Collisions and skidding seem to be the
greatest perils to occupants of ma
chimes, and it would APPEAR that high
speed is responsible for the majority
of these accidents.
II a driver is going slow when a
coillslon occurs there is less Likelihood
OF serious injury, and this fact will
probably be bourne in on motorists IN
time, Skidding accidents could be
minimized by the use of chains on
wet streets and roads, but very few
take this precaution.
The danger to pedestrians is also an
ever increasing problem with the
growing use of the automobile, but the
victim of accidents are mostly chill j..
dren who dart out in front of vehicles
While at play in the streets. Children
playing in the streets are the bugaboo
of all automobile drivers, be they
chauffeurS or owners, and until par
ents are educated to the danger of
letting their little ones play in the
streets the number of accidents Of
this kind will not be decreased.-New
