The Savory Bean Pot.
n AKED BEANS are SO nutritious that
n they should more often appear on

~ AKED BEANS are so nutritious that
n they should more often appear on
the family menu. If they are not
relished, you may be sure that they are
not cooked in the proper style. Too often
they are undercooked. JUST try the fol-
lowing recipe and you will be convinced:
Take a quart of beans and put them to
soak in whole dishpanful of water over
night Next morning put them to cook III
a big kettle of hot water, and when they
are half done pour that water away and
put on more boiling water, with piece OF
sweet pork.
When they are little more than half
DONE they should be put into a big bean
pot with the pork, a big spoonful OF made
mustard, one-half teacupful of good mo-
lasses, small chopped onion and the
taiipiece of a salt Goldfish well scrubbed
Bake them slowly for five or six hours
and serve with chopped pickles.
The typical New England baked beans
are the following: Soak pint of small
white beans in water over night. In the
morning drain off the water and parboil
them twenty minutes. Strain through a
coIander and put them in an earthen bean
pot, with one tablespoon Of molasses and
cold water to just cover them. Lay half
pound of salt pork on top, put Oh cover
and bake. Slash the rind of the pork with
a sharp knife and bury in. the beans with
the rind exposed on top to brown. AS the
water boils away. add little more. Bake
at least seven hours.
If you like pork and beans with tomato
sauce, try this: Soak one full pint OF
white beans over night in water enough to
cover we'll. In the morning put on 10 Doll
in water to cover to the depth or two
inches. Bring to boil and then place
where they will gently boil until they be-
gin to grow soft. which should be, IN
about two hours. When they have reach
ed this stage. take half pound of break
fast bacon and slice into a bean pot,
which should have a capacity Of at least
three pints. Season the beals with salt,
pepper. a teaspoonful of sugar. ana a
dash of cayenne pepper, salt very ightly,
for II the pork is very salt the flnisheu
article will be too salt. Nix with the
beans pint of canned tomatoes, which
have been run through colander. ,ano
pour the mixture over the bacon. cover
the bean pot. and bake three TO four
hours in a slow oven.
Wash clean as many navy beans as de-
sired. Start to boiling in cold water, With
salt to taste: boil slowly until tender;
drain off all water. Put one tablespoon
full of butter in baking pan. set on stove
and melt. Pour beans in the PAN tut
four tablespoonfuls of catsup and two la
bleSpoonfulS of brown sugar; stir until

few thin slices of onion over the beans:

slices of bacon on top: pour enough boil

in the evening. Moreover. she doesn't
wear it, and there is always something
q little odd about high collar and an
uncovered head.
The tailored suits of this autumn are
unusually attractive. The new fabric
called duyetyn, or peau dc peche, gives
to the figure a suppieness that many of
the other heavy fabrics deny IL II is
warm and yet soft, and easily can be
manipulated into folds and drapery. The
colors in it are good for there is some
thing about the weave that gives out. or
rather takes in. soft smoky tones of red,
gray, purple and green that most wom-
ntcan wear.
In dark green. dark purple and deep
Khaki, one sees the majority of street
suits. Raquin uses more marine blue
than any of the other houses. and she
also uses coats of silk matelasse, which
some of the other houses have dropped.
One must say they are a relief-these
brocaded coats-to the universal black
velvet, which looks as though it might
be, overdone in the near future.
Whatever the names of the fabrics
used, however, they are all soft. Pos
sibly they had to be SO to combine with
the new methods of dressmaking One
cannot make Turkish trouser-skirts out
of stiff material, and satin is too cold to
tempt the American as a winter suit.
Velours de laine was good to look at
but it was too heavy to drape. and there
were many women who complained that
Ii did not wear well.
It is too early to say whether or not
duvetyn will merit the same reproach,
but it is the fabric of the day. and Amer
lea probably will be wearing it as stead
lily as Paris when November comes in.
So far there has been no. return to
long coats, except the compromise made
by. Paquin between the long godet coat
and the, short flaring one. Young, slim

Ruches and fichus are worn to great

net being the favorite fabric on account
of durability.
Many fancy waistcoats are made of

and tilt up I'm front They are fastened
in straight line to the neck and topped
of with some kind of high. loose collar
that does not cling closely to the neck.
The sleeves are long and usually eNag-
gcrated in shape. They are never con-
ventional nor do they start from con-
yentional armholes.
1t might be said Of all the clothes OF
the. day that they are comfortable. They
hang from the body instead of continuing
it: the shoulders are broad and full; the
sleeves are immense; the waists have no
idea OF restraint, and the movement or
the skirt at the knees is like that OF a
pair Of zouaye trousers. The only part
of the whole costume where one may eS-
pect to find discomfort is in the narrow
footline.
But no one finds inconvenience in this
when 1t is properly cut. There Is always
a manipulation of drapery or horizontal
pleating, invisible though 1t may be. that
keeps the hem from catching around the
ankles as the wearer walks. and that
upward tilt i'm front does a great deal to
facilitate graceful movement.
If YOU could see all the women dane
iiay the tango and the Brazilian Anaxixe,
with case and freedom In these SEEM
ingiy narrow skirts you would realize
instantly that there must be some trick
cry about the footline that gives fuilness.
Another clever idea on the part OF the
dressmakers is to turn up the back of
the skirt to form a cum. IL Is an imtta-
ton of the cuff on mems trousers, and
II is the popular idea over here. because
it keeps the back of the skirt from catch
ing OIL the heels.
