Washing Wells.

Few women have success In wash
ing white chiffon wells and scarfs, and
attempt to clean them In various ways.
but they can be washed successfully,
and the method is very simple. Use
water that is only tepid, not hot, add
a pinch Of borax to soften it, and then
make a good suds with some good
white soap, says the Ladies' World.
Let the chiffon soak in this for about
fifteen or twenty minutes and then
squeeze it gently with the hands until
quite clean. but never wiring or twist
it. Rinse through several waters, add
ing just a suspicion of blueing to the
last water. Lay smoothly on a towel
or clean cloth and press between the
layers with moderately hot iron be
fore it is quite dry. Very hot irons
or hot water will yellow white chiffon,
and then. too. too hot iron is apt to
stick and pull the chiffon out OF
shape.

sugar and make the doughnuts as us

In place of eggs roll crackers fine

you would of eggs. You could not tell
the difference If you did not know it.
When you want pudding for dinner
and have no milk, try adding another
egg and few more raisins and use

SECRET OF GOOD FOOD
INDIVIDUALITY ~ COOKING IS
TO BE DESIRED
Woman Who Puts Herself Into Her
Work IL the One Whose Meals
Are Palatable.


A prominent Englishman. comment
/ ing on us and our institutions, says
that the food provided in the large
hotels is as good as can be expected
outside OF a small restaurant
IL is a criticism that has more In
II than seems, for II most of us we're
offered the choice of meal at a large
hotel or a small restaurant would we
not take the large hotel? Yet the
right kind of small restaurant would
in all probability furnish us with a
more palatable meal. For In the right
kind Of small restaurant one gets per.
sonal cookery. And delightful indi-
viduality In cooking Is as much to
be desired as in anything else. All the
places that are famous for their cook
cry are famous because of some per-
sonality. They become known through
their chef. They are spoken Of as
Oscars, or Josef's, or Nine. Gruyere's.
1t is the personality of Oscar, or Jo-
sef, or madame that is the sauce
piquante of the cookery there.
It is this lack of personal cookery
that makes the food offered in some
restaurants and boarding houses so
tasteless. 1t is as insipid as person
without any kind of individuality. In
certain kinds of restaurants, from
Maine to California, roast lamb tastes
the same, and coffee is the same
brown, insipid drink. The cook In
these restaurants probably says
Lambs lamb" and salts and peppers
it mechanically, with her mind on
something else, slams it into the oven,
and thinks cooking is beastly work
anyway, and she's going to get another
job.
Whereas the cook who adds person
atty to her cooking studies her roast
carefully, noting its weight and quail
ity, dusts with pepper and salt
thoughtfully. to get just the right
quantity, adds a bit of this herb, a
hint of that spill, watches it assidu-
ously, bastes it frequently and sends
it to the table with Joy, knowing 1t is
juicy and tender and has a flavor all
its own
She is putting herself into her work.
She is expressing herself through her
work. And isn't this more worth
while, just for ones own sake. than
to go expressionless?
Some of us look upon cooking as
mental and beneath us. And we do
not care very much what kind of cook
ing we turn out. But If we are going
to do 1t, why not put ourselves into IL?
Why not give 1t personality and pr
quancy? Why not let it become IA
nous in our circle, our village or our
town. 1t is worth while to express
our best selves In whatever medium
we take up.
