longer boiling which this plan per-
mits Slide the asparagus (they should
be tender In about 30 or 40 minutes)

out part can be used for PURGE and
the cups put round 1t. Before filling
the cups, coat them with white
sauce.
Turnips au Beurre-Young turnips
are required, shaped according to
taste. Sufficient butter Is then to be
melted in stewpan. 1t should just
cover them In single layer and the
cooking should be gentle or they are
liable to break. Cook 80 to 40 min
utes. great Improvement in flavor
is effected by parboiling them in white
stock. Serve as they are. or sprinkle
with chopped parsley or capers. They
are nice with lamb or veal.

CITY HAS SET GOOD EXAMPLE
Movement for Home Gardens, Started
In Philadelphia, Enthusiastically
Taken Up by School Pupils.

The more than fifteen thousand
home gardens started In Philadelphia
under the general supervision OF
teachers are beginning to carry into
each household the benefits of the
agricultural competition In the school
yards. This element OF competition
is very important. The zeal of every
child is fostered by the knowledge
that close at hand another youthful
amateur is striving to raise, II possi-
BILE, better things. Eventually this
must quite naturally lead into larger
movement representing the interest of
the grown-up In civic development
and Improvement
In the Quaker City the school board
Is urging not only upon high school
pupils. but also upon those of tho
lower grades, realization of their
share of the responsibility In making
better and still more beautiful city.
A great deal can be done by our chill
dren in this direction II they will
make those little patches in front or
In the rear of their parents homes
more attractive by, planting some
flowers or shrubbery; anything to
please the eye and beget cleanliness.
Let us. then, go at 1t in the right
way. We will find ready response
on the part of our children If the
school authorities will persist in do
ing that which is done at Phlladel-
phia. Besides. 1t is a sign of the
times that child are encouraged and
urged to plant gardens under their
own windows at home and in school
yards.

small story and a half house or
cottage of five rooms is shown in this
plan. 1t is twenty-five feet six inches
wide by thirty feet in length. and may
be built with or without a cellar or
plumbing. However at the time of
building cellar under a small house
like this does not cost a great DEAL
and no modern house these days
should be built without water and gas
pipes and electric wiring.
Gas Is being carried in pipes along
thickly settled roads In the country
Almost every village having an enter
prising population has a gas plant, and
many homes have private plants Of
their own. improvements in the man
ufacture Of gas have gone ahead SO
rapidly of late that it is not necessary
for any person, no matter how remote
from large cities, to do without this
wonderful modern convenience in
housekeeping
You can have good satisfactory
water supply both upstairs and down
by simply putting good force pump
in the well, or cistern, with a little
piping and with tank sufficient for
the days supply. You car have a
more elaborate system for more mon
ey, but the point wish to make is
that no one need do without a water
supply under pressure If they really
want 1t.
Such houses as this may be built
for very little money. 1t is difficult to
estimate for different localities be-
cause prices vary more than half, but
| have known just such houses to be
built for $500 and finished up in a
way entirely satisfactory to the owner.
You can make It as much more elabor-
ate as you want to, but generally the
object In building small house is to
make a comfortable home for a small
family at moderate cost and that is
what this design is intended for.

Home and School Gardens.

1t is a sign of the times that chill
dren are urged and encouraged to
plant gardens under their own win
dows at home and In the purlieus of
school buildings. Not 30 very long ago
you could always tell school build
ing, not merely by the sinister and for
bidding architecture as Of the prison
house, but by the abomination Of des-
olation that prevailed around 1t. The
school yard was as bare as a cinder
track, on the theory that any grass or
flowers planted there would at once be
ruthlessly undertrodden. Nowadays
there is inculcated in school children a
reverence-easily convertible into real
enthusiasm-for growing things Of
their own planting. wedding, watering
and tending. from the seedtime to the
harvest. The $4,000 home gardens al
ready started under the general super
vision OF thirteen teachers whom the
little gardeners may consult will carry
into every household the benefits Of
the agricultural competition Of the
plots cultivated side by side in the
school yard.-Philadelphia Ledger

Mint Vinegar-Now is the time also
to put up mint vinegar for flavoring
purposes when the fresh mint cannot
be obtained, and the dried mint Of
commerce lacks the 'woodsy" flavor
that you are used to. Put the wash

tie, but do not pack. Fill up with good
cider vinegar. In three weeks uncork
and pour off the clear liquid into an
other bottle, corking tightly. If lit

each bottle before sealing. 1t can be
kept through the winter.

ADDS TO BEAUTY OF HOME
Brick Terrace Not Costly, and Houses
So Adorned Improve the Appear
ance of Street.

Robert and Elizabeth Shackleton,
who write about The Gentle Art Of
Home Making" In Harper's Bazaar, de-
scribe what they have done with their
own home. Their article begins as
follows:
There is something that would
add to the appearance of any home.
and which 1t would be easy to build
beside any home; thing not only Of
real beauty, but permanence, and
therefore Joy forever And yet it
Is something which. for the most part,
home-makers do without; even though
they may wish 1t were possible to
have 1t, they pass 1t by as an expen-
sive thing. not to be thought of by
him or her of moderate pocketbook.
We mean the terrace. and preferably
the terrace OF brick
1T Is one Of the curious things in
regard to home-making. that people
have so long been awed by. the
thought Of brick flooring. The man
who would go at building a stone wall.
or stone walk, without hesitation. Is
awed by the thought Of brick paw
ing for terrace or porch although
brick Is much more fitting for out-of-
doors than is wood. Nowadays. for
elaborate houses. some architects are
specifying brick-paved terraces. But
that is precisely the point; it is for
elaborate houses only; when, as
matter of fact, brick-paved terrace
may just as we'll be the possession OF
