Famous Women
Her Birthday and Yours
Marie Marin-Luey Hayes.

Marie Letitia Martin. who was born
ninety years ago today in Ireland.
was a woman of extraordinary generosity
and kind-heartedness- Her father lived
in Connemara, where he owned one OF the
most extensive estates in Ireland, some
20. 900 acres in all. and because his daugh-
ter devoted her time to the tenantry on
the estates of her father she was known
as the Princess OF Connemara-"
Then when the great Irish famine came
in the years 1916 and 1s47, Marie redoubled
her zeal for the tenantry. They could
pay no rent and this meant privations for
her family, but Marie not only stood this
hardship bravely, but gave what she had
to buy food and clothing for the poor
people. To add to the difficulty she
married just as the famine days were
drawing to a close Arthur Come Bell,
very poor man whom she loved, IN
stead OF any OF her Weather suitors
whom she did not love.
Her husband assumed the coat-of-arms
and the name OF the Martin family.
Following this Mrs. Martin made heavy
loans In order to go on with her charita-
BILE work and finally through mismanage-
ment and frequent borrowing for the
sake OF the poor not an acre Of the eX-
tensive property which she had inherited
from her father belonged to her. She was
practically a pauper. In this extremity
Mrs. Martin turned her attention to
writing for a living. She moved 20
Belgium where she could live on a very
small income and with her husband

When peaches are peeled and sliced for
dessert, put them in a bowl covered with
a damp cloth and set them in the ice box
until ready to serve.
When you buy berries to serve for to-
morrow mornings breakfast, look them
over at once and take out any that are
very soft and not likely to keep. Spread
the rest in a thin layer on a platter and
set in a dark, cool place These will keep
fresh and crisp until the morning, and
the oversoft ones may be stewed in
syrup
When cheese becomes too hard to eat

prove their favor, But not enough should
be used to give a strong onion flavor.

1T will make a man OF him was the
shipowner's excuse for sending his son
Jim onto one Of his ships. His instruc-
lions to the captain were to make the
boy work and put some ginger into him
The captain OF the schooner was a
drunkard. His first mate was a bully
and also a heavy drinker. There was
hardly a man on the old wooden vessel
who. II the occasion provoked, would not
plunge his knife into the other fellow s
back. Into this junk ship, among the
crowd OF brutal, unprincipled men, Mr.
Marshall. rich shipowner. sent his son to
reform him-''to make a man OF him"

boy into such a mess, was taking the
right course TO make a devil Of him.

fact that he was raised in ease and

except that there was just one clean
thing on the ship-a girl. She was the
daughter of the captain.
In time Jim meets the captains daugh-
ter Elsie. and as the days passed by. he
comes to love her. Elsie returns this
love.

Helen Lindroth developed her latent
talents in the best Of schools. the EOs-
ton Museum Stock Company. Then she
met with unusual success in such plays
as Polly of the Circus" "Springtine"
and The Nest Egg.'' and that vaudc-
willie classic with Emma Dunn, The
Baby" Miss Lindroth has endeared her
self by her appealing acting, charming
personality and beaRty.
As a motion picture actress she has
added many new laurels to her list of
successes. In this field she has the
greatest possibilities TO portray varied
parts, and il is needless TO say she has

KITCHEN HINT.

In the kitchen wall shelf is conven-
lent for the clock or a neat row of spice
boxes. Quaint little Delft china recep-
tacles come on shelves built especially to
accommodate them, and these are both
useful and ornamental in a blue and
white kitchen.
- No cellar is complete without a hang
ing shelf swung on chains or wooden
supports from the rafters. Safely out
Of the way of mice, such a shelf is con-
venient for preserves or fruit, or Cor
storing large bundles. In the cellarway
there is room for an additional shelf to
hold the necessary bottles OF blue, am
monia, and the like; and outside the
kitchen door a series of shelves will be
found convenient for clothes line buckets
and the like. II these shelves can be
made into a closet with a door, all the
better.

TO PRESERVE COLOR.


II there is danger of the color run
ming, add to the extra water a little
vinegar. for mauve or heliotrope, OK
gall for brown alum for green, methy-
lated spirits for all shades Of lemon
or yellow, and salt for blue. A hand
full of salt, byt the way. in the rinsing
water nearly always acts as a. preserv-
alive for ny shde or coor.
Frocks always look best If they are
washed in bran water, without any soap
being used. The bran water is made by
boiling a pound of bran in two quarts
Of clean warm water, and wash the
dress in as many lots Of water as neces-
sary. Rinse thoroughly in cold water,
and when half dry iron on the wrong
side with a hot iron.
Summer silk blouses need washing
quickly and carefully, one at a time.
Squeeze. but do not wiring, the blouse
through two bowls of soapsuds, then
rinse through clear warm water. Most
pale coIored silks are improved by be-
ing given a second rinsing through
blue water. Squeeze the blouse as
free of water as possible roll up in
4 dry towel, and before it is quite dry
ron with a fairly hot iron, keeping a
piece of muslin between the silk and
he iron.
All sorts Of summer clothes made of
lighthouses, dresses. or what not-need
to be given very particular washing.
White lace should be first soaked in luke
warm soapsuds. then washed in another
supply of warm soapsuds The lace
should never be wrung or rubbed, but
simply pressed and squeezed.
As many supplies Of soapsuds must
be used as are needed 10 get all the
dirt out of the lace. then it should
be rinsed first through tepid, then
through cold water.

Housewives Daily
Economy Calendar.
The Housewives Cook Book.

The best sort of cook book Is really
not a cook book at all II might be
called a cook book. II It had to have
a name The ideal way Of keeping
cooking recipes Is to write them on
cards arranged alphabetically accord
ing 10 subjects, and these cards are
best kept in a little box. A neat lit
tie box with q hinged cover complete
with a set Of cards can be bought
for about Is cents. Any box that will
neatly hold a set of cardboard cards
Will answer the purpose, however. The
chief advantage Of cards over the pages
of a book Is that they may be re-
moved and conveniently laid before
YOU as you cook, that when soiled they
may be copied and the old cards de-
stroyed, and that they may be rear
ranged at will, giving room for new
recipes at any time
Every housewife should have q cook
book. Of her own. There are many
large complete books on cooking that
are almost ideal in their directions for
cooking. but no one Of these books, nor
al OF them will take the place OF the
f5dfviduaI book-the accumulation OF q
lifetime, sometimes, and the register OF
family tradition, taste and individual
ity First Their are these old recipes
that are a matter OF family tradition
and what household has not special
ways Of cooking the common dishes
that are more acceptable to the par
ticulhr family than all the scientific re-
cfpes In the world? Then there are the
recfpes that come as a matter Of in
dividual experience, inventions In Gull
mary art that every housewife works
out for herself Then there are re-
cfpes gathered from many outside
sources. II you keep a cook you will
be able to gain valuable recipes even
from the least efficient Of them Ma
tional dishes, often embOdying valuable
nrinciples of economy, can be learned
from the European women who hnd
employment in our kitchens, and these
recipes adapted to the American taste
and food supply should ind place in
the housewives cook book Then the
housewife always finds new and inter
esting ways Of cooking things when
size travels, or gains suggestions from
the restaurants, hotels, or the social
luncheon or dinner party.

FRUIT SoUFFLES FOR SUMNER

The foundation for nearly all sOuffies
is white sauce, but after the founda-
ton once is made, the souffle may be
come. by skillful combinations and adap-
tations, one of cheese. fish, meat. rice.
potato. fruit, or custard.
To make the white sauce, heat to-
gether in a saucepan two tablespoons OF
butter and two heaping tablespoons OF
-four; when frothy. add half a cup OF hot
milk and stir to a smooth velvety cream.
Add salt to taste. unless the souffle is
TO be Of fruit. IN which case, pepper and
salt may be omitted. The white sauce
made, add the yolks of four eggs and the
fruit pulp, grated cheese, faxed fish or
whatever foodstufT is desired. Cook until
the mixture is thickened. and then cool.
When quite cold. add the stiffiy beaten
whites and bake the soufie in individual
dishes or a large dish set in a pan Of
water.
The following recipes will serve as ex-
ampleSs from which others may readily
be made. For meat souffle the founda-
ton Of white sauce is seasoned with a
little onion Juice, chopped parsley and
celery salt. Add to II two cups OF finely
chopped meat solidly packed. This may
be beef, veal. or lamb, or IN combination.
chicken or fish also are delicious. When
chicken or oysters are used. a bit of nut
meg Is often added to the seasoning.
When hot. add the well-beaten yolks of
four eggs. Then cool and fold In the
stifiy beaten whites. Bake in a buttered
dish from twenty to twenty-five minues
and serve with tomato or mushroom
sauce.
In baking soufies, have the oven quite
cool. as too sudden exposure to heat
causes the air bubbles to break and
crust is formed on top so that the souffie
cannot rise. Bake from ten to thirty
the souffie.

Picked STRING BEANS.

A fine way to prepare string beans fer
winter use: Take beans Just as they are
picked from vine, do not cut or string
them, wash them well and place a layer
OF beans and a layer Of salt alternately
in stone jar until jar is full, then cover
with large plate: put a large rock on
plate. In few days they will have made
pickle enough to keep them finely all
winter. Now as you want them take out
and string and cut them and soak them
overnight 1t will be necessary TO change
the water quite a number OF times as
they are very salt. but after they have
been thoroughly freshened you Will End

BOOMERS FOR GIRLS.

Little boys are not the only ones who
can revel in boomers. Now the small
girls can enjoy their play to the utmost
with no hampering petticoats, and with
their dresses so short that the boomers
peep out below.
1t is a delight to them as well as to
the mother, who knows very wen the
difference in the laundering. for this
sensible custom does away with petticoat
and drawers. The boomers are made of
the same materials as the dress, and
take the place of underwear.
Striped fabrics, not the Roman stripes
Of spring favor, but fine, two-toned
stripes are worn by well-dressed women

woman is made of striped crepe de chine,
