RECIPES THAT SAVE MONEY
Writer Shows How Same Effect May
Be Obtained With Less Expen-
dIture. .....

What may be done in the way OF
economical cutting Of recipes may be
seen from the following:
Coffee Cake (original recipe)-One
and, one-haK cups of brown sugar. ono
cup of molasses. one egg, one-Quartef
pound OF citrons, one teaspoon OF
soda, two pounds Of raisins. one tea
spoon of cloves, one-half cup Of butter,
one cup Of strong coffee. four cups Of
-four, one tablespoonful Of cinnamon.
This was changed to read as fol-
lows: One and one-half cups Of brown
sugar. one cup Of strong coffee. one
half cup of butter (part butter and
part lard), one cup Of raisins, one tea
spoon Of cinnamon, one-half teaspoon
Of cloves. two teaspoons Of baking
powder. two heaping cups Of -four.
Baked in a loaf this cake. without

A recipe for cornbread read like
this: Two heaping cups Of cornmeal.
one cup of -four. ~ cups Of sweet
milk, one tablespoon of lard, two table
spoons OF sugar, two teaspoons of bak.
ing powder, one teaspoon Of salt, two

The eggs were omitted from this re-

IN COLOR COMBINATION
NEW MILLINERY HAS A CHARM
OF ITS OWN.
Small Hat Is Most In Favor-For
Trimmings, Feathers and Ribbon
Are Preferred - Illustration
Shows Popular Design.

There is much to be said in favor OF
the new millinery, for, although many
perhaps the majority of hats seem al
most ridiculous in their eccentricities,
as they are viewed from their pedes-
tails in the glass cases of the shops,
they are certainly picturesque and
conservative enough when properly
adjusted atop Of the head.
The new hats show the interesting
color combinations SO fashionable In
gowns. Many models have either the
crown and brim Of different colors. not
to mention different fabrics also. or
else the crown and brim are one OF
color with an under facing that is in
strong contrast.
Almost without exception the hats
are small, with close-fitting crown and
brims-if there are brims-that hug
the head The trimmings are legion,
with feathers and ribbons in the lead.
Most of the dressy models are
planned to give extra height, and the
result is achieved through the trim
mings, as in the hat here sketched
with it's large mount of black plum
age toward the rear. The hat itself
is one of the new ''fan-tailed" shapes
with a close cap" crown slightly
gathered, and narrow poke brim that
increases in width at the back, where
it is turned abruptly up against the
crown, allowing a glimpse of the Golf.
On this particular instance it is de-
veloped in black and white. The

FOR THE AFTERNOON TEA
Hostess Must Be Quick to Pick Up
Ideas Others May Be Able to
Give Her.

The clever hostess knows there is
no surer way to keep abreast of the
times in the matter of afternoon tea
accessories than to pay frequent Wis
its to the big hotels and restaurants
at the tea hour. Almost each hotel or
restaurant has it's special" One es-

PLATE.GLASS SHELVES BEST |
1ave Many Advantages, Which the
Good Housekeeper Will Be Quick
to Recognize.

Plate-glass shelves are much USED
over wash basins in bathrooms. al
they look well and are easily cleaned.
II you use one, be sure to set 1t on q
slight angle, sloping toward the wall.
SO that articles placed upon it will not
slip of into the wash basin and break
1t. A small washer placed under the
lower arm Of the packets will give the
desired slope.
When washing sateen little borax
put into the last rinsing water Is very
good to make the sateen glossy when
ironed.
Shantung silk is popular for outdoor
coats, and is usually lined with ninon.
These coats are fascinating when
trimmed with lace OF deep ecru. Of
white or cream.
When matches are scratched upon
light paint or woodwork, they leave
an unsightly mark. This may be re-
moved by rubbing the stain with cut
lemon.
To remove finger marks from var.
nished furniture sweet oil Is very
good; but kerosene used on waxed or
oiled furniture gives better results.

colored linen is made with a panel ex-

What Is a Mustache Worth?

What is the cash value of mus
tache? The question is raised by q
forthcoming legal action in France,
in which a young man is suing his
late employer in peculiar circum
stances. He recently obtained the pc
sition of valet to an attache OF the
Chinese embassy here and one of the
conditions of his employment. was
that he should shave off his mustache
The young man complied with this in
struction and sacrificed his hirsute
adornment, not without regret. But
a week later he was discharged and
he is now suing the attache for $40
as damages for the. ''esthetic preju-
dice" that he has suffered through the
loss of his mustache. This would seem
to be modest valuation, especially
when one takes the esthetic prejudice
into account.
