i think your little talks about

f. @. j." I learned a great deal
about caviar the other night that
never knew before, and your talk
last night about the way to plank
fish and steak was Just fine. These
are the things we houeekeepers like
to find out. We are so busy with
our routine that we seldom take
time TO try new things, unless some
one points out how easy they are.
Some time, Miss Doom, Will you
give me some sauces for fish and
ways of serving potatoes, etc, with
different kinds of fish. We have fish
every Friday in our house. and
sometimes II Is very hard to make
the dinner seem appetizing.

would tell mo how to prepare picked
pigs feet. I have tasted them, but
haven't an idea as to how they are
picked. In return l am enclosing a
recipe for making cream pepper

recipes for Christmas candies"
Cream Peppermmts
Take three cupruls Of graduated
sugar and three-fourths of a cup
full of cold water Put oyer the
fire and boil without stirring until
the mixture forms a ball when
ueopped INTO cold water. Add a
fourth Of teaspoonful Of cream
Of tartar and then remove the
mixture from the fire. Let it
stand about five minutes before
adding about eight drops of oil
of peppermint. Beat until a
smooth cream is formed. If it be-
comes hard add a little hot water.
Mold into balls and lay on waxed
paper to harden.
Am glad my improvements

planning to give such little talks
whenever I have an opportunity.

GRAYS AND BLUES
IN POPULARITY

Gray in all possible shades is one
of the colors of the season.
Pearl gray is being most success
fully combined with white velvet ana
ernine for really rich tea gowns;
and a deep shade of smoke gray is
being very much used for NANTES
in conjunction with bands of smoke
gray fox.
All shades of rich blue are in de-
nand in such materials as velours
de laine and liberty cashmere.
Costumes In these materials are
trimmed with- bands of sable or or
black fox. and the craze of the mo-
ment seems to be for Chinese en-
broideries of the finest description

AN EFFECTIVE WAY
TO CLEAN SILVER

Put a quarter of a pound of sal
soda into gallon of water.
Place on stove and let it come to
a boil
While it is boiling put in piece of
silverware one by one.
Take out Quickly and wash in soap
suds.
Dry with a soft clean cloth.
This will remove all discoloration
and the silverware will look as If 1t
were new, it will be so bright.

wide open. Behind the underbrush

Knocking on Wood
Dear Mss Doom :

Dear Mss Doom.
Please tell me how the custom o.
knocking on wood originated.
CURIOUS.
This superstition is of German
origin, I am told. Originally there
were three raps. They were sup
posed to drive away evil spirits
vexed by vaunted happiness or any
piece of good fortune.
The three raps originally signi-
fed the three persons of the Trinity.
Father. Son and the Holy Ghost,
and the necessity for rapping on
wood was because that was the ma
terial Of the cross.

Dear Margery Doom.

what the bridegroom has to pay at

The bridegroom fees the clergy
man Che gives the money in an en-
velope to the best man, who gives
II to the minister. He should also
fee the sexton of the church, if 1t
is a church wedding.
He pays for the brides bouquet,
the bouquets Oh the p4iucSihdtoS
and the boutonnieres of the ushers.
He sends carriages for the ushers
and provides carriage for himself
and the best man
He also pays for carriage for
himself and wife after the cere-
mony.
II the best man and groom have
come from another city the groom
is entitled TO play the host and to
pay for the expenses of both.
This is not obligatory and is gen.
orally not permitted by the best
man.
OF course, the little souvenirs
given at the farewell dinners Of
both bride and groom are paid for
by each respectively. These are
sent the day before the wedding by
messengers If no special entertain
ment is given.

What She Wears


The tendency of the autumn styles
IS smooth effect over the hips, q.
narrow effect about the feet and dra-
perry between.
The smartest gowns for general
wear have long sleeves that are fin
ished at the hand with frills to match
the neck trimming.
Not everyone is blessed with the
knowledge that green is the one per-
feet color for women with shades of
red in their hair
Turquoise blue is difficult shade to
many women. Perhaps this accounts
for its long unpopularity. But when
t Is becoming 1t can be worn with en-
cellent effect. II is a shade, however
which should only be used in the most
expensive materials. Cheap mate
rails In turquoise are apt to look
shoddy and ugly.
With the present style of dress one
must be slim, or at least of moderate
for what looks so fright
full as a very stout woman in tight
skirt? Yet it is a sight-sight. in
deed-that one often sees. And what
q mistake ii is when. she might appear !
quite graceful in a long coat.
