MIGHT BE "sPoTLEss TOWN.
WiIlemstad, Port Of Dutch Island Of
Curacao, One Of the Worlds Most
Delightful Spots.

Willemstad, the port of the Dutch Is
land of Curacao, is quaint little
town, and with its rows of brightly
colored tiled houses Of Dutch construc-
ton reminds one very forcibly Of the
pictures of "Spotless Town" The
Dutch government maintains gar
rison of home troops there and the
island Is under the management OF
governor sent from Holland.
The natives speak hardly word OF
Dutch, but employ patois composed
of nearly all languages, with Spanish
predominating. This patois is called
papiameDto.'
The harbor of Willemstad is very
beautiful, with depth of water suffi-
cient to accommodate the largest
ships. Steamers enter the harbor
through picturesque pontoon bridge
constructed by an American consul
who was stationed there for some
years.
The water in the harbor Is a clear
bottle green color and the masts OF
vessel that was sunk at the dock
years ago can be plainly seen. A
quaint tramway line with almost toy
cars drawn by one mule serves as
carrier for the population.
From Curacao the American steam
ers with transshipped cargoes run
across the very important town OF
Maracaibo. in the Gulf of Maracaibo.
Maracaibo is one of the most impor-
tant commercial ports of Venezuela,
serving as an outlet for all the coffee
and other valuable products of eastern
Colombia.

MAYONNklsE EASY TO MAKE
Popular Dressing Has Wrongly Been
Considered Too Difficult for the
Busy Cook.

The making of mayonnaise dressing
was formerly regarded as a very trou-
blesome affair. Exceptional cooks or
housewives, 1t fs true, would assert
that 1t was no trouble, once the knack
was acquired; but as rule it was not
popular dressing with busy cooks.
The reason was not far to seek. In
the first place, tradition held that if
mayonnaise dressing curdled it must
be thrown out and a new mixture
started; and, as it often curdles, this
was not a cheerful prospect to face
when time was short In the second
place, tradition asserted that good
mayounaise could be made only by
adding the oil drop by drop-a lengthy
and troublesome process.
Tradition in both instances was
wrong. II the mayonnaise curdles, an
egg yolk should be broken into clean
bowl and beaten thoroughly and the
curdled mixture added to this drop.
In this way the mayonnaise will be
recovered.
The three-minute mixture that saves
the tedious drop-by-drop process is
made as follows:
Measure out tho salt and mustard
into bowl and add a whole egg, both
yolk and white. Beat this mixture
thoroughly and then add onethird of a
cupful Of oil, all at once. Beat this
until it begins to thicken, then add an
other third Of cupful of OIL This
makes fairly thin mayonnaise. If
a thicker one is desired more oil must
be added, making cupful of oil in
all; beat until very stiff, then set the
bowl on ice until the dressing is
wanted.
Mayonnaise made by this process is
less likely to curdle than that made
In the old way, and the mixture is
quite as good.
A bowl or jar Of mayonnaise viii
keep for some time if put in the re-
frigerator, and It is very useful to
have on hand. It is well to remember,
too, that a mayonnaise can be trans
formed into a tartare sauce by the ad-
dftion of chopped gherkfns and capers.
Therefore it Is economy in time so to
plan your menus that a fish dish
served with tartare sauce is fol-
lowed the next day by a salad requir-
ing a mayonnaise dressing, or vice
versa.

Foolish Worry,

It's pitiable to see how old some
folks become before they reach mid
die life. They undermine their own
lives by carrying burdens that never
materialize. They are always borrow
ing trouble and making themselves
needless worry. And the sad part of
1t all Is that mental trouble is very
real. It's bigger burden than physi-
cal weights. If folks could only be
taught they would soon see that it's
not the real struggles that deepen
their wrinkles and unsteady their
steps. Worry is far more enervating
than physical strain, and the worst of
it is that most things we worry about
never happen. It's this dissipating
factor that's so potent in producing
Americanitis.- Grit.
