Nothing is more embarrassing tc
hostess or guest than introductions
where there is doubt as to the proper
form pursued in the introduction. So
it behooves the prospective hostess oil
guest to be absolutely sure as to the
thing to be done and the thing to be
left undone.
1t is best as a general rule, to give
simple introductions. Mrs Johnson
let me present Mr.. Horner," will be
found correct at almost any time. The
old mode. Let me make you acQuaint-
ed WITH" is awkward.
When introducing men to women. the
woman's should be the first name
the lady. A good form and one that is
complimentary for a man to use, when
presenting a masculine friend to g
woman is: Mrs. johnson, Mr.. HorneT
desires to be presented to you"
When one makes q stranger known
to a group of guests, the host or host
ess, il the person TO be introduced Is
a woman, should say: Mrs johnson,
let me present Miss Canning, Miss Rosa
When the stranger is a young woman
or man, the host or hostess may dis
nanse with superhuous words, and, first
nresentinR the name OF the stranger,
then specify the guests or friends pres
ent by their proper titles or surnames
in the following manner: Miss Jonn-
son, Mrs. Smith. -Blanton. Dr.
Lewis"
One should never make the serious
mistake of leading lady ABOUT
room full OF guests and introouclne

-IL1a a. the case of debutante or

when there is q decided difference m
tbe apes of the two persons introduced,
are Younger woman is introduced to
the elder. thus: Mrs. Johnson. let me
nresent Mrs. Smith" An unmarried
woman is always presented to matron
the exception being when the one
unmarried is elderly.
when any distinction as to age
would be disagreeable. mode equally
deferential to both is: Mrs. Johnson.
this is Mrs. Smith; Mrs. Smith, Mrs.
johnson"
In a drawing-room presentation
WHARF, men are introduced. one needs
not be SO punctilious as to distinctions.
A young man. or q bachelor. would
quite naturally enough be presented
TO an elderly man. and plain citizen
to q Judge, senator, or governor, or
other titled man. Where these distinc-
tions may be eliminated a good form
of introduction is: Mr.. Smith, Mr..
Lewis"
1t occasionally happens that host
esses may be able to put their guests
on an immediate pleasant footing. by

Diced white turnips and beets. small
segments of caulihower and peas. or
diced sweet raw green peppers, shred
ded onion and string beans make good
combinations. A little diced onion or
onion juice may be used with any of
these vegetables.
Milk Bread.
Scald a cupful of milk and in it melt
a teaspoonfuI either of lard of but
ter or other shortening. half a tea
spoonful of sugar. Dissolve half a
cake of yeast in half a cupful of luke
warm water and add to the milk when
cool. Then stir in a cupful and a half
OF white flour and place the bowl in a
pan containing hot water-water as hot
as the hand will stand. Cover and keep
the water at the same temperature for
about an hour. when the dough should
be full of bubbles. Then add more
nour. until the dough is stiff enough to
retain its shape. Mix the -four in with
knife and spoon. Put again in a pan
ful of hot water and leave for another
hour. when 1t should have risen to
twice its bulk. Then put on a Toured
board and form into two Ioayes. Place
them side by side in a pan and LET
them rise till double original size. Bake
for about three-quarters of an hour in
hot oven.
Graham Bread.
One pint sour milk, one teaspoon

bring to the boiling point, covered.
Steam for two hours, and do not un-
cover during the steaming. Then bake
Tor fifteen minutes in brisk oven.
To Dry Fruit.
Different fruits are treated somewhat
Inherently in the drying. To dry ap-
pies, slice rather tart apples and
spread them in a dryer, in a warm
oven or in the sun. If in the sun
cover them with mosquito netting to
protect from insects, and when they
are dry steam them for a few minutes

sliced and heated, sprinkIed with
sugar, in the oven, and then dried like
apples. Cherries should first be
sprinkled with sugar, and then dried

USING OLD EMBROIDERY.

The using OF old pieces of embroidery
is an art An exquisite piece Of embroid-
cry should be as carefully preserved as
a fine bit Of lace. 1t frequently has Just
as much patient labor upon it. Old
pieces of embroidery cannot be, or should
not be, used for the making of articles
that require frequent laundering, or the
life of such pieces must be necessarily
short; but fragile pieces of fine work
may be used for pillow tops that are more
for ornament than for use. little drawing
room tables, ones best boudoir cap, that
is kept for occasions, baby's very best
cap. or visiting bib, etc. Sometimes only
small sprays can be saved from a piece
OF fine embroidery that is beginning to
wear, but the small sprays can be cut
into medallions and inserted into piece
Of material that matches or contrasts in
weave to that In the embroidery.

Questions and
Answers
Potato Cake from NJ. G.

Two large breakfast cups OF cold
boiled potatoes. one large breakfast
cup of flour, salt, one small tin Of
smoked sardines.
Mix sufficient salt with the cup of
-four to season. Then put tine potatoes
on the rolling board and roll the roll
| ing pin over them several times to
take all the Jumps out. With a knife
scrape all the potato into a heap on
the board, and sprinkle the flour lit
| tie at a time over the potato, and roll
| 1t into the potato with the rolling pin.
Do this until all the -four is used up.
Then roll out in thin cake about the
size of your frying pan. and fry in a
| little butter until brown. Turn in pan
with litter. so as not to break the
cake and brown on the other side. Put
on hot plate and butter; now spread
all over the cake the sardines. which
have been well mashed into a paste
with a fork, in their own oil. Put in
oven to keep warm while you fry an
other cake to go on top. Butter this
last cake and put the butter side
down on top of the mashed sardines.
Pat the top cake gently down and cut
cake across in four pieces and serve,
piping hot.

If the cake does not hold together,
put a little more flour in, as there is
great difference in potatoes.
This makes a good luncheon dish or
for Sunday nights tea. You will be
SURPRISED how easy ii is to make, after
trying it once or twice. 1 have never
found any one who did not like them.
and have never found any one in this
country who had heard Of them be-
fore. 1 have given the recipe to several
people.
I learned how to make this potato
cake from a lady when 1 was In AUS
tralia; so perhaps it would be appro-
pirate to call it Australian potato
cake.
French Dressing.
The usual rule is three times as
much oil as vinegar. II you have not
vinegar of a very mellow. bland quail
ity, lemon juice is preferable, as it
unites with the oil more satisfactorily
than sour or harsh vinegar. Beat the
acid and the oil together with fork,
and season to taste with salt and cay
enne pepper. Other fiavoring may be
used II desired. The vinegar in which
capers have been picked may be used.
or parsley may be soaked in vinegar
and that vinegar may be used. And
flavor of celery salt or paprika may be
used instead OF cayenne.
Combination Salad.
Combination salad is made of cold
boiled vegetables, mixed with French
dressing and served on lettuce leaves.
The vegetables should be very neatly
prepared, and combined with an eye
to color and sRvor. Cold peas and
diced. boiled carrots are good together.
String beans, cut in half-inch sections.
with diced beets, are good. Peas and
beets. too. taste well together. When
using the beets. add them lightly. af-
ter the dressing is mixed with the other
vegetables, SO that the red juice from
them will not mar the rest OF the salad.

ALASKA COAL AND COPPER OUTPUT TO
 GROW IN 1916

Predicting that Alaska's copper out put for 1915 will be $2O,OO0,OO0 greater than it was in 1914. when 1t amounted to about three and half millions. J. J. Underwood. writing in the Seat. tle Times, says it will be even greater in 1916, and he predicts that coal will be added to the Territorial mineral production in that year
 Mir Underwood's article on this subject, appearing in the Times Of July 16. says:
 The S2O.OOOOOO increase in the out. put of minerals in Alaska this year. resulting from enormous copper pro- duction, will be supplemented next year by another big increase in the Territory's production. The 1916 to- tai will result not only from the coal that will be thrown open, to develop ment early next year, but also from the increased amount of copper that can be mined profitably when local coal ise available
 That it is the intention of the gov ernment to operate the coal land un- der the leasing law as soon as pos sible is evidenced in the large num- ber of surveyors now in the field. and in the further fact that George Wat kin Evans. a mining engineer of Se- attle, who has made several exam nation of the fields, has been in. structed by the government to pro- ceed immediately to Alaska to survey the lands into units of forty acres each. under which they can be leased and to gather data upon which Presl- dent Wilson can make reservations of land in both fields for the use of the government.
 Evans leaves for the North tonight He will make his first headquarters at Katalla for the greater part of the season. and later will proceed % the Matanuska field, with Anchorage. the point from which the railroad con- struction is proceeding, as a base.
 It is doubtless the intention of the government to have several blocks of coal land in the Matanuslya field un- der lease by the time the railroad is completed to Matanuska crossing which will probably be next summer It is understood that all of the brldg- es will be put in this year Secretary Franklin K Lane has indicated sev- eral times that he expected to have the field open by the time the road was constructed, so that the railroad project could begin earning back part of the investment.
 The head of the purchasing depart ment of the navy also is anxious to get some action on the Matanuska coal. test of which proved highly satisfactory for naval purposes.
 There are several big crews now in the field said Evans. land most of the work will be completed this summer The Gering river field is the more difficult of the two prob lens to solve. have been instructed to study the formations carefully so that the President will have all data at hand when he makes the reser- vations."
 Evans has already made several ex- amiuations of both fields, the work being done sometimes for the govern ment and sometimes for commercial coau companies.
