These egg shell cards are fine for

to cover gold piece, a ring or even
bright new pennies for the children.
OF course the shells have to be brok-

WAYS OF SERVING PIGS FEET

good-sized feet and place them in

then wash we'll and cook slowly in
water in which should be also stewed

HIGH NECK. WITH OR WITHOUT POINTER
CUFFS.
Accordion plating Is among the
smartest features of the season. This
model shows a waist made in that
way and it is exceedingly charming.
The blouse is made over fitted lining
that holds the portions perfectly in
place. The main portion Of the blouse
consists of only the front and back
portions with simple, one-piece sleeves.
The lining front is faced with contrasting
material to give the vest effect. The
pointed girdle and corresponding cuffs
are pretty features. Since the plating
must be done by machine, the making
is really very simple. In this instance,
crepe meteore is combined with brocaded
satin 't a,n?d, the neck edge is finished with
a fancy collar OF sat, ~, IN darker shade.
and, combined with a skirt OF the sani snse
material. it makes charming evening
gown. If the design is wanted for day
Cine or street use, chemisette with stock
collar can be used. All of the new ma
terials are soft and pliable and well
adapted TO the accordion plating but
the model might be developed as shown
in the small front view with the shoulder
place of the plating. Crepe de chine,
charmeuse and all similar materials are
equally good for this model and can be
combined with the brocaded material as
in this instance or with all-over lace, as
may be liked.
For the medium size the blouse will
require 3 yards of material AZ. az

POTATO SUBSTITUTES.

There are several kinds of foods
that might take the place OF the po-
tato, and for variety 1t is we'll to oo-
casionally miss a meal and substitute
one of them.
The cheapness and availability OF
the potato Is a great factor in its
popularity.
Rice, macaroni. bread crumbs and
combinations with these foods will
make quite variety to use in place
Of potatoes. occasionally.
Rice cooked until tender, mixed
with a little butter. sprinkled with
grated cheese and onion. Repeat with
another layer of rice. and bake. Makes
a most nutritious dish. which may be
served as a vegetable.
Rice and tomato, baked In layers
and well seasoned with cayenne pep
per, makes another acceptable dish.
Rice, plain boiled. served in pretty
mound. garnished with parsley. will
make a most acceptable addition to
beefsteak. The rice may be we'll sea-
soned and served on a plate, as one
does mashed potato.
Macaronl With Nuts.-Take cup
full of cooked macaroni, put 1t in the
bottom of buttered dish, sprinkle
with any kind of coarsely broken nut
meats, add a cupful OF white sauce,
cover with buttered bread crumbs and
bake until the crumbs are brown.
Hominy is another food rich In nu-
triment which may be served as
vegetable. Season, and serve well
cooked, as potato with meat, or it may
be combined with cheese and white
sauce and baked.
HomIny Griddle Cakes.-Add hom-
my to griddle cake batter, and cook
as usual, or add to muffin mixture and
bake In the form OF gems or muf-
fins.
Bread Crumb Omeiet.-Soak a cup
full of bread crumbs in hot milk, add

Just as was pondering in my mind,
ls my good colored auntie would say.

planning for Easter. Polly, my unfail-

But, Polly" walled. there was no
sgg trust then, eggs weren't 80 cents

real barn and ye had mothers piece

haven't now"
After this wall from my usually
cheerful self. Polly gave me this out
line, which l pass on: Ask just the
neighborhood children, say six or
eight, and save enough perfectly fresh
eggs to allow two for each guest. Set
the time on the Saturday before East
er, from three to FIVE, and request
each child, boy as well rs girl, to
bring an apron.
Hide the eggs In nests hidden care
fully behind the furniture, and warn
the little hunters to be most cautious
In handling the eggs. for they are to
take them home for their Easter
breakfast. 1t will be well to provide
small handled baskets for each one.
Tie bow of yellow ribbon on those
for the boys and white for the girls.
They will make acceptable favors

THE 1878 COTTON CROP

New Orleans, La, March 24.-The
outlook for the cotton crop of 1913 is
causing traders some anxiety on ac-
count of the conflicting reports as to
the preparations for the new crop. 1t
is generally assumed that acreage
planted to cotton in 1913 in this terri
tory will show an increase over last
year. but nobody can tell about that
for a month or So There is a feeling
Of security as to the spring floods,
danger being practically passed.
Floods last spring caused some decline
in planting, and resulted also in con
siderable abandonment Of acreage
which was planted. The boil weeyil is
expected to cut a more important fig.
ure in 1913 than in 1912, as the
weather at no time during the winter
has been cold enough to kill them off.
However improved methods of plant
ing and cultivation may Offset in a
measure the inroads of the pest.
