 Mushroom Sauce.-Wash a pint of small button mushrooms. removing the ground end of the stems. Stew slowly in milk or cream, seasoning them with peppeE and salt and adding a piece of butter rolled in a large proportion of flour. Stew them until quite tender, taking off the cover of the pan =occa- sionally to stir the contents.
 The flavor of the mushrooms will be improved by saltfng few the night before, leaving them in a covered d.sh to extract the juice and pouring it into the sauce while the latter is slowing.
 See that the mushrooms are a dull pearl color on the outside and are tinged with pale pink underneath.
 Boil an onion with them, and if any of the mushrooms are poisonous they will turn black. If this happens t1ro " the entire lot away, as it would be ex-3 trennely dangerous to eat them.

CT AM getting my daughter ready to
 go back to college after the holi7 days. What will she absolutely need in the line of clothes?" asks puzzled mother.
 She will need a tailored suit for going into town and a few bIouses to wear with it. Of course there must be a couple of white ones for dressy wear, but one of plain silk and one of match ing crepe de chine will be extremely fashionable and will save laundry bfllss an item worth considering. A one piece serge dress in dark blue will give ex- ceLent service and can be made vari- ously attractive by different neck fix ings, of which a girl can scarcely have too many. A short walking skirt to wear with a. middy will be necessary, and this can be one of those serviceable mixtures that are now displayed in the shops, 9. plaid a navy blue. She

 Utensils A small stewpan. split spoon, porous paper for draining.
 Directions-BIanch the almonds by pouring boiling water over them, It is betteYy to pour the water off once and renew it than to allow the nuts to soak in water, for in this way the nuts are thoroughly heated on the outside with out absorbing water. Put the nuts. a few at a time, into the oil and fry un- til they are a delicate brown Remove with split spoon, place on the paper to drain and sprinkle with salt. It makes no difference whether the oil is hot or cold to begin with. This is far more satisfactory than. browning the nuts in the oven and is not an expen- sive method if one of the cheaper cul1- nary oils is used.

FIRST FAMILIES DYING oUTY

| FIRST FAMILIES" DYING OUT2 esYTNHE fine old families Of PhiIadeI-'
 pf1ia's Quaker stock and those founded by New England's pilgrims came in for criticism at the convention of the American Association For Study and Prevention of Infant Mortality. on the ground that they were permitting themselves to die out
 The maxim as rare as dead mule orr a Quaker baby certainly goes for Philadelphia said Professor B. G. Conklin of Princeton.
 The greatest danger that faces this city and this country today is that good family stocks shall disappear. Good hereditary lines are running out, due, in most instances to voluntary causes which ought to be avoided. In Boston, Philadelphia and elsewhere the old families are disappearing. Every nor ma1 man and woman ought to be taught that they live not only for themselves Too often we read the headline The Last of the Family z stThe saddest thing is to see the splendid old families of Boston, PhiIa- delphia and other places families that have borne presidents In their time. die out"

 A neat silk crepe de chine gown might be included for dress occasions If you must econom1ze rather 1orego some garment than sacrifice quality and style in those selected. Clothes mean a great deal to a girl in school, and they should be of good material and made up strictly, along fashionable lines.
 l In footwear she will need a pair of stout walking shoes. as many dressy boots and slippers as the purse will permit, and there should be a pair of semules'' to go with the bath robe. In hosiery she will probably need all you can give her. If the girl cannot mend her own stockings you had better ar- range to have her send them home Co mother to be mended- It will pay

RESPONSIBLE FOR IRRi-
 TARILlTY.

MORE than half the i'll temper and irritabiIity displayed by women are due to fatigue not only of the body, but of the nerves. Every woman should learn how advisable it is to rest daily and to rest in the proper way. After tiresome day, whether it be of house work, looking after the children. shop ping or paying calls, ha1f an hours rest properly taken will work wonders
 Take off your shoes and put on soft slippers, take off blouse or bodice, skirt and corset and slip into a loose gown Pull down the blind. then lie down for twenty minutes. Even if you don't sleep you will rest After bathing, re- arranging the hair and getting into fresh clothes you will feel a totally different woman

youth1ul one shown is of uncut silk corduroy, a gorgeous yellow and de- signed bayadere. A deep yoke and cuffs of seal give very rich contrast, while the wrap is cozily 1ined with bro caded canary satin. Much more gor- geous is the evening wrap of rose panne velvet with it's unusual sleeves and vo1uninousness so layishly set off with skunk fur. Two beautiful jet ca bochons serve to fasten the cloak at the waist and throat, the fur covering the chin and, if need be, the cheeks. Lined with pale pink taffeta, this gar nent makes a very beautiful wrap for opera goers.
 Also dark brown frocks for evening have been launched by a famous de- signer. These frocks are usually of a diaphanous material over a white satin foundation. A brightly colored girdIe relieves any somberness and makes the brown evening gown a decided success. While the brown frocks come in vari- ouss shades, leaf brown and African brown are preferred.
