The Art of Using Left.Oyers.

Instead of throwing away the bits Of
stale bread and crackers, they should be
dried in the oven, rolled, and saved for
breading chops, outlets, and making
various escalloped dishes. A jar Of
these kept on hand is q great conven-
fence.
The less stale pieces may be used In
buildings, baking tomatoes, etc. 1t 10
no economy to use real stale bread In
buildings, it requires 80 much extra
milk.
Bits of leftover meats and fish, when
combined with small pieces of potatoes,
cream sauce, covered with bread crumbs,
.utted with outer and baked Till dell
;ate brown on top, develop into a mos
,ppetizIng dish. And meat pies, hashes,
cecils with tomato sauce, croquettes,
minced meat on toast, offer further va
riety for made over dishes.
Many savory soup is concocted out
of a few bones, remainders Of meats and
vegetables properly prepared and sea-
soned.
The cup Of cold rolled oats left from
breakfast Is valuable addition to the
luncheon mullins. The remaining coffee
may be used in coffee jelly, or small
quantity will give piquant fiavoring to
a mocha frosting.
The half-cau Of tomatoes, with the ad-
dition of salt, pepper, sugar, covered
with bread crumbs and bits of butter and
baked, will be readily eaten.
The scarcely touched can OF corn left
from dinner may be served as delicious
chowder at the next days luncheon.
Cold potatoes may be used in almost
infinite vsrieties-in hashed brown.
Lyonnaise, Delmonico, etc. Various
other vegetables may be converted into
toothsome salads.
Stale cake may return to the table In
the guise of a pudding.
Even sour milk has untold possibilities.
1t is unexceled for making doughnuts,
various cookies and small cakes, brown
bread, nut bread, griddle cakes, and
even finds its way into pies, to say moth
ing of the much priced old-fashioned cot

In trying out any fat, 1t Is always
preferable to use double boiler, as
there is no danger Of burning 1t and the

The tried out fat Of mutton, the fat

Salt pork fat, used as frying medium

The truly successful housewife must
be Argus-eyed in her watchfulness.
Not only should she know how to buy
wisely and to use what she purchases,
she must also be swift to detect the
countless small drains which creep into
otherwise careful management.-Ex.

First NIGHT Critica.

In TN article In tie American Maya
cine, Walter Prichard Eaton writes:
1.-The thcater door mai Is IN impor-
taut person on first nights, because as
he passes out return checks between
acts he hears the comments OF the au-
,lience. His ears are wide open OH
such occasions. and. mingling with the
crowd IN the lobby. are other attaches
Of the theater. ull seeking to OverheaI
the comments, and Ill rushing to report
to the manager. Not long ago the last
act of u play In New York was ell,
trely changed after the opening night
ro.ely because the women In the audi
rnce. us they left the house, were near
ly all complaining Of the tragic finish.
When piece hangs In the balance be-
tween success and failure. when 'tink-
ering' can perhaps turn the scale. these
frank comments overheard In the lobby
are OF great Importance to author and
manager. In other cases they are q
barometer of success or failure. though
the ultimate test. Of course, Is the
subtle attitude Of the audience In the
auditorium. its spontaneous enthusiasm

Graceful Leave Taking.

How thankful would have been In
my first girlish attempts 1T calling had
some tactful relative or friend coached
me q little in the art of taking leave
when the time to 20 had come! Looking
back now it seems almost ludicrous that
this simple matter should have been
such q bug-a-boo; but such 1t surely
wasl
1t probably arose from my having
made one awkward going, this causing
me to expect and dread similar blum
der. A young girl once conscious of an
awkwardness is 80 supremely miserable
over It!
But observation tells me that others
not always young girls either-dread the
moment Of leave taking. If you don't
believe 1t, watch the average woman
one who does not make study of so.
ciety-put off her going, the various at
tempts she makes at 1t, before really
getting away, her stupid lingering near
the door, her platitudes and repetitions.
How wearisome and invariable is her
"Now come soon" etc.!
Perhaps we all need to get 1t into our
heads that the best lesve-taking Ia swift,
gracious and cordial.
Let the beginner plan bit beforehand,
and follow some such formula" as this:
Before the conversation begins to drag,
just in an interesting place If possible,
let her rise, while she herself is speak
ing, adding impulsively to the sentence
"But | must be going"
If there 10 a friendly smile upon her
face and real cordiality in her tone, the
hostess will feel that she has enjoyed the
little visit without any trte remark TO
that effect, though she may say naively
81 am glad / came" or ~ am 30 glad to
have found you at home" Then If she
moves rapidly toward the door, there is
little chance for awkwardness in word or
deed, and If not too abruptly done, this
is apt to be both graceful and natural
It saves the hostess as we'll as the guest.
Protracted leave-taking Is one OF the
most trying things in social life, and 1t Is
80 common fault that would we could
start a reform. Anyone guilty of 1t
needs to try this plan of swift and cor
dial going until it has become habit.
Then calling will be no longer the bore
1t is so often to hostess and guest.
