Boiled Starch and Raw Starch

Dear Margery Doom:
Please do not think ! am an ig-
noramus, but / have just been mar
ried and do not know much about
homework, and I would like to
know how to make good, clear
boiled starch. Also how to make
raw starch / will appreciate your
reply very much, and hope you do
not think I am SILLY not to know
such things.
: ANXIOUS TO LEARN.
think you are very wise to try
and find out the correct method OF
making starch, or anything else.
You would be silly if you failed to
ask questions when In doubt.
Raw Starch-For family wash
ing take half cup of dry starch
and moisten with cold water. then
pour on a quart of boiling water,
stir we'll, and add teaspoonful OF
granulated sugar and allow 1t to
cool. This is the right consistency
for aprons, skirts, etc. For bosoms
of shirts, collars and cuffs raw
starch must be added.
Raw Starch--Molsten a third of q
cupful of dry starch with cold
water, then add q quart of cold
water and a piece of CASTLE or any
good white soap, to give a slight
soapy appearance. Dip in the ar
ticles which have already been
starched and dried Roll up tightly,
leave half an hour and iron while
sti'l damp.

MIDDLE AGE BRINGS WISDOM EXPERIENCE Why Regret
AND LOTS OF THINGS WORTH WHILE Departing Youtha

1t would seem that middle or later
life should be the most happy and
truly satisfying period Of life-that
to which the previous years all have
been leading. But we can't then stop
growing If we would be truly happy
and useful-and let us remember that
to be useful Is one of the prime
requisites of being truly happy. Some
things possibly have gone; but other
hings surely have taken or should
AXE their places. says Ralph Waldo
Urine, in the woman's Home Com
oanion.
Some of the bloom may have left
the cheeks; little streaAs OF color, diff
ferent from that of babyhood or
youth, may have appeared In the hair;
less lithesomeness In the form may
require a little different suit or gown
TO reveal It's greatest attractiveness,
or even to envelop II at all.
But whatever changes the years
may bring. and we will all reach mid
ile age--lf we live long enough and
have not already passed it--there
hould be gains. In experience, In
knowledge, in wisdom, and In pow
ers. that VIII far more than compen-

String about 100 beads on a piece of
wire leaving some free wire at each
end. Divide the string into fifty beads
each and take the free ends to the
middle and wind them around. thus
forming two loops This serves for
the outside Of the bow. The inside
loops are made In the same way with
the exception that It only takes sew
enty-five beads. The piece which
goes over the centre and holds the
beads together is made of two or
three strings of beads of about Ave
each. These are sewed to a small
piece of cloth to give 1t body, and also
that you may sew It to your bow Of
maline. These bows are very effective
also when made of black Jet beads on
black maline or ribbon. The larger
the beads the fewer It takes.

Amateur cooks often wonder why
the rarebit becomes stringy. The
reason Is that the cheese is too fresh

be taken TO test 1t very well before

A reader asked how TO make Phil
adelphia scrapp1e. She didn't want
to make it. she declared, but was
curious as to its ingredients, etc.
The following recipe was in my
scrapbook.
Philadelphia ScrappIe
Take the head, heart and any
lean scraps of pork and put them
on the stove in a suitable saucepan.
Cover with water and boil gently
until the bones may be easily re-
moved.
After removing the gristle and
bones chop the remainder fine.
Return the broth to the stove,
skim Off the grease very carefully,
and, when It boils add to ii the
chopped meat.
Season highly with pepper, salt
and sage. When 1t reboils stir in
sufficient white corn meal to make
it like ordinary mush.
Cook continuously one hour and
a quarter, stirring and watching
that it does not burn. Pour It into
an ordinary breadpan and put IL
aside until cold.
When about to prepare breakfast
have the frying pan on the stove
with a large tablespoonful of lard
smoking hot.
Cut the scrapple across into slices
and lay 1t in the pan.
Turn carefully when Drowned on
one side to brown the other Ar
range on a hot platter and send to
the table.

Serge is not especially new. but It

One OF the smart shops displayed

and the pointed ends of the sash
were braided in red silk soutache:
another was trimmed with bright
