Concerning Rhubarb.

Rhubarb, which is usually served as
fruit, is in reality a vegetable. as every
body knows. But everybody does not
know, perhaps. that it was the root OF
rhubarb that was first esteemed. 1t was
introduced from China into Europe in
the eighteenth century by the Tartar mer-
chants. 1t was used as a medicine. The
Tartars often sold fake rhubarb roots
But the Europeans soon decided that ever
the genuine rhubarb was not medicine
Then some clever cook discovered that
the stalks, cooked and sweetened, were
not only edible, but delicious.
If you have ever tasted rhubarb un-
sweStened you will realize what a stroke
rh1barb was, for unsweetened rhubarn
issabout as bitter as anything could be:
RhuAarb, like cranberries. requires all
the sugar you can afford, and then lit
tie more, as one old cook said.
One of the best ways to cook rhubarb
is to soak it for an hour in cold water,
then cut the stalks into inch lengths and
then to cook them, In g. double oolier.
without water. -Sweeten when cooked.
Rhubarb is beet when served very cold.
AsDeon as it is cooked it should be cooled
and then chilled on the ice.,
As an appetizer for luncheon, rnuoaro
can be carefully cooked, so that the form
pf the pieces is preserved, in lengths of
About an inch. 1t should be sweetened,
chilled and served in tall glasses.
Raisins. dates or figs. cut into small
pieces. can all be added to rhubarb ana
cooked with it to vary its flavor from time
to time. They alAc vary she texture OF
the cooked rhubaib dish iinaxing it some
what more substznaal. 81
When removing the skin from rhubarb
be careful not to cut too deeply Into the
stalk, as the pink chat is Just under the

SPLENDID DESIGN FOR TAFFETA.

edges are left open over the net guimpe,
and a collar and soft little revers of net
turn back from the neck. A black satin
tie is run under the collar and crossed
over the bust between the blouse edges.
then down through two eyelets in the
pointed taffeta girdle, where it is knotted
on the outside and finished with small
tassels.
As the kimono sleeve of the blouse is
hardly shaped in under the arm at all,
considerable fullness results. and this is
taken up in front and back in small,
gathered folds merely with line of
gathers. This is hidden by the double
pointed bib section of taffeta set in above
the belt well over to either side and
hooked loosely under the arms with one
point caught up against the front of the
blouse and the other against the back
The taffeta skirt is slightly gathered all
about the waist and is oddly draped in
front by means of three lifted tucks hori-
zontally run, from the ends Of which
graceful folds fall below the hips. i don't
know exactly how this is cut, but I'm

quite certain there are similar patterns
to be had from one of the large pattern
companies at home.
1t is q model well suited to any summer
silk and one that may readily be repro
duced in various pleasing color schemes.
There is no reason why it wouldn't be
particularly smart in a navy blue with a
touch of geranium color or of emerald
green in the figured chiffon blouse and
tie.
The lady who wore it is from Vienna,
and that is where most good styles origi-
nate!

Hats of Belgian Straw.

There is new kind of straw over here
which is very smart for street wear, and
many afternoon hats are also built of it.
1t has high gloss on it which makes
it acceptable for spring and summer, for
1t gives a decided color and gayety to the
costume. 1t goes by the name Of split
Belgian straw and no one is quite sure
that IL will wear well. e.
There have been many admirable
things put out on, the market the last
two seasons that have not been worth
the money. silk duvetynu was one and
there were kinds Of crepe with objec-
tionable features. and possibly the Bel
gian straw may not prove a success be-
cause OF the very fact that it is split. 1t

Recipe for Sponge Cake Tarts.

Cut up roll-shaped sponge cake into
fairly thick slices and coat these with
raspberry or apricot jam thinned with a
little hot water. then cover them with
chopped almonds. Spread the top of
each with stifny whipped and slightly
sweetened cream. and lay half stewed
or timed peach on each. This is a very
nice sweet for emergencies, as it is SO
quickly and easily made.

A charmingly pretty little Austrian lady
with quite the best sort of taste in clothes
is stopping at this hotel while the season
is on. and she has proved equally charm
ing to talk to. She was quite childishly
pleased when l told her I would like to
sketch the gown she was wearing to send

allowed me to get every detail. 1t is a
splendid design for new spring gown.
The original is in old blue taffeta with
a changeable silver tone, and has for a
blouse chiffon of the same blue ground
color stenciled in a black and white con-
ventionalized chrysanthemum design.

CARLTON Is SPLITTING COTTON
Mayor Orders Whiskey Dumped Into
Babbling Brook.

Upon advices from Portland of its
shipment, Carlton s mayor was on the
watch Thursday afternoon and found
that freight shipment of large
box containing whiskey and addressed
to the Carlton Pharmacy was not
marked with the name of the party
ordering it, as required by law. The
markings also failed TO comply with
the law which requires that the name
of the contents shall be in large
writing or print in a conspicuous place
on the package; in this case it was in
very small writing in one corner. I'm
der direction Of the mayor, the box
was taken down on the river bank,
broken open, and found to contain a

the law, was spilled. 1t is understood
that the loss falls ON the shippers

SHOULD COURT THIS TRADE
Tillamook Country Offers Opportunity
to Polk Producers.

There is an opportunity open tc
the people of Polk county for an i'm
proved trade with the TilIamook
country, and The Observer suggests
that this locality gets in closer touch
with that district. When at Tilla-
nook, Nehalem, Bay City, and Wheel
er recently the writer found that
merchants at these points were pur-
chasing potatoes, hay, flour, and feed
at Portland and from Eastern Ore
gon and Washington. While some
shipments of potatoes and onions
have been secured from the William
ette Valley the other products named
are being purchased elsewhere be-
cause of alleged higher prices de-
manded by shippers in this valley.
There is a large and constantly in
creasing market for produce in the
Tillamook country, and by giving it
proper attention it would not be diff
ficult for the Willamette Valley to
grow into a splendid business there.
1t is a growing country. Large gov
ernment appropriations have been
made for the construction of jetties at
Wheeler and Bay City, and approx
mately 1900 workmen will be en-
ployed during the ensuing two years.
Tillamook county is devoted exclusive
ly to dairying, its agricultural pro-
duets being bought outside, and hence
this opportunity.
