we might be approaching an era of a

TO PRESERVE FLAVOR
OF COOKED VEGETABLES

AS rule vegetables cannot be TOO
quickly cooked after they are gath
cred from the garden or field, if the
full flavor and goodness are to be re-
tanned when they are brought to the
table. This is especially true of green
corn. 1t is just as easy to cook vege-
tables in the right way as in the
wrong way. A housakeeper who
knows tells The Star one should never
cook a Wilted thing if il be possible
to avoid it. Nearly all fresh vege
tables are the better for coldwater
plunge until they are crisply plump
Wilted tissues become tough and
stringy in the process of cooking and
lose their proper flavor
Another thing worth knowing is the
difference it makes to have the water
boiling briskly when the green stuff
goes into it. Still another is the i'm
portance of skimming. No matter how
carefully things have been prepared,
in boiling they will throw off waste
and effete particles. which rise as
froth, and unless removed in time
either cake upon the edges of the
stewpan or incrust what is cooking
within it. The skimming needs to be
done within the first ten minutes after
put on lids unless there is extreme
need of haste. This applies even to
Irish potatoes, which are. however.
very much better steamed than boiled.
Beans Two Ways.
Wash the beans in two waters, then
soak before stringing. Break them in
inch lengths and boil until tender in
well salted water. Drain very dry,
then put them back IN the stewpan
with light seasoning of red and
black pepper, and a tablespoonful of
the best salad oil to every quart of
fire for five minutes, stirring most of
the time. Turn out into a hot dish
upon very dry toast, and serve with
either quartered lemon or pepper vine
gar. Instead of the oil fat bacon may
be used. Fry half a dozen slices crisp
without burning them, then put the
drained beans in the bacon gravy, and
stir well over the fire until it is alb
sorbed. Serve on a hot dish with the
bacon laid on top, along with hot corn
bread and sliced cucumbers in vine
gar.
Second way-Boil the beans after
stringing until tender, drain and put
in a deep dish with alternate layers
Bake until the onion IS well done.
Serve hot with corn bread and strong
pepper sauce.
Wiring off tops and tap root instead
OF cutting, so the beets will not bleed
too much in cooking. Boil until very
tender, and be sure the water is not
too salty. Drop in cold water, peel
and set on ice until wanted. They
may be served half a dozen ways.
sliced with vinegar, as a salad, or
made very hot and dressed with melted
butter. Anything with -four in it
spoils a beet. Melt the butter with
very little hot water, say a teaspoon
full to the tablespoonful of butter.
Beat in the lemon juice thoroughly.
adding a dash of white and cayenne
pepper, also little sugar, unless the
beets are very sweet. By choosing
red and yellow beets of equal size and
shape, slicing them in half length
wise and arranging them to alternate
around the dish you may make it very
decorative.

Boiled Cauliaower, American Style.

Pluck off the outside leaves and soak
in cold salted water, top downward,
for an hour, to thoroughly cleanse it;
then tie it in a twine bag to prevent
breaking. and cook in salted boiling
water for about twenty minutes, or
until quite tender. If it is not boiled
in bag remove the scum before it
settles on the caulifiower. Serve in
shallow dish and cover it with a cream
of hollandaise sauce. or add little
grated cheese; cover with cracker
crumbs, moistened in melted butter,
and bake until the crumbs are done
brown, or when cold: serve as a salad
with mayonnaise dressing.

Special Correspondence Of The star.
NEW YORK, October 20.-Evidently
America likes the. so-called moyen-age
line from the shoulder that barely de-
| fines the waist and tries to put the
hips within the same circumference as
the bust. 1t has gone through severai
stages since it was introduced last
spring. but in the manner of the sketch
today it holds good.
| When it was born, it wasn't at all
moyen-age: it was mid-Victorian. IN
stead of being sensuous. it was prudlsh-
People looked at it and said: wear
that ugly basque again: Never out
| TODAY it has nothing in common win

the hustle was worn when the basque

they are charming.
That transformation is due 10 the
women as well as to the designers
This is especially true in great clties
where women have many opportunities
to see all the fashions in the shop
windows, in the exclusive dressmakihg
houses and at important social anairs.
They are, therefore, admirable critics
of a new style and when working IL
out with the dressmaker they can sug-
gest often just the right turn to carry
the gown to success.
Probably it was some clever woman
in society who put her finger on the
secret trick that turned Victorian
basque into a medieval cuirass;, who
knew that American women would pre-
fer the raiment of the dashing Dago-
bert of Paris to the raiment of an eld-
erly queen.
Excellent for Alteration.
In the processes of altering one sea-
sons clothes to fit another seasons
needs-which some women like and
others despise-the separate moyen-
age waist might play an important
part. 1t can even be put with tight
and narrow skirt if such is to be left
in the wardrobe, despite the call of a
newer fashion.

material reaches much higher on the
figure than it did when the style first
came out. That trick is carried out on

Machine Guns.

In the British army the machine gun
is the Maxim: the French use the
Hotchkiss. or Puteaux: Austrians en-
ploy the Schwarzlose and Germans the
Maxim. In all cases machine guns are
attached to the infantry forces, usually
in the proportion of two guns per bat
talon, or 1000 men.
These guns fire rifle cartridges at I'm
mense speed by mechanical means. and
usually the kick. or recOil. of the gun Is
used for the purpose Of reloading. 1t Is
interesting to note that in test forty
two British first class shots engaged
against machine gun. each firing ut

LYNDEN MAY BUY
STREET SWEEPER

Lynden may purchase a sweeper
and sprinkler to keep the pavement
clean. The Council at its meeting
Friday night rejected all street
cleaning bids and left the matter in
the hands of committee composed
OF Councilmen Bostwick, Stuart and
Oldemeyer.
The bids submitted were widely
different, some offering to furnish
their own materials and others fig
uring on their services only. Rep
resentatives of companies selling
sweeping machines were present and
quoted prices.
The proposal to pave Fifth Street
was laid on the table by the Council
until the next meeting. The assess
ment roll on Grover Street, Improve
ment District No. II, was filed with
the clerk by Engineer Troutman.
