CORDED SILK AND
SATIN in NEW CUSHIONS

The newest and most popular cush-
ions are round and several inches IN
thickness. The materials chosen for
| them are usually plain fabrics. such as
| corded silk. satin or velvet.
On examination some of the hand
some cushions made to order at an
interior decorators studio one notices
that the materials are put on full. top
and bottom. drawn down in tight folds
to the center. and fastened securely
under a button Of the material on
both sides of the cushion. On the ma
jority of the cushions heavy silk cords
matching in color are put on about
six inches apart and the material is
drawn tightly around the cushion, fas-
tening beneath.
Any amount of originality can be
used in designing these cushions and
costly materials may be employed In
their makeup. The fabrics chosen
are usually in dark, rich shades, har-
monizing with the rugs and hang
ings of the room. Some of the hand
soonest cushions are of velvet in red
bronze and brown combined with
heavy gold braid or cord. the center
buttons being carved gilt affairs of
generous size. Brocades of the rich
two-toned varieties make attractive
cushions, while black satin and black
velvet are particularly popular and
smart for decorative purposes.
A long, wide crimson velvet pillow
has a border of Oriental embroidery,
while a yellow boudoir is soon to have
a footrest of orange brocade trimmed
with gold fringe. Allover tapestry
is particularly good for these cushions,
though plain satins and velvets are
considered smarter by some authori-
ties.
Many of the newest boudoir cush-
ions of large proportions are of soft
satin shocked. Some have the little
frills of yellowish lace combined with
the shocking. giving an elaborate eff
feet.
Perhaps one of the latest iunova-
lions in the way of down pillows is
the saddle bag or chair back. This
is an oblong case partially filled with
down, making a light cushion easily
adjusted and thrown over the top of
chair to suit ones comfort. These
cu0hions are shown in all sort of fas-
cinating coverings.
with the revival of other oldtime
bits of house furnishings come the
foot pillows or footrests. They are
long affairs, at least two feet, and
about 2 foot or more wide and of the
same thickness. They are not soft,
yielding things of down. but are stuff
ed we'll with hair. A set Of these
conveniences ordered for a blue Ii
brary is Of heavy. rich blue cloth
embroidered with gold in square de-
signs.

Have you a fireless cooker? -.-
| And II you have one. do you make
good use of it?
It is a fact that many owners Of fire.
| less cookers have never really mastered
their use. They cook the breakfast
| cereal in them. perhaps because that is
decidedly convenient. Sometimes they
cook something elsa boiled ham or e.
piece Of corned beef-in the cooker but
| they really do not make 1t pay for itself.
Now a cooker can be made to pay for
itself in a very short time. and IL you
once get into the habit Of using one, you
can make 1t save your own strength and
time. Especially in hot weather. when
an absence of fire in the kitchen is de-
sirable, the cooker should be worked
overtime. Here are some recipes of very
good fireless cooker dishes:
Baked beans-Soak three pints of beans
for the night and then parboil with half
a teaspoonful of soda. Drain, and put in
the cooking vessel Season with salt and
four tablespoonfuls of molasses. Over
the top spread thin slices of salt pork. or
IL you wish to make the dish serve for
the mainstay of the meal, add one pork
chop for each person. Heat the disks,
put one under and one over the beans
close the cooker and leave the beans in
for four hours.
Soup and beef loaf-Put a shank Of
beef in the cooking vessel, with a cou-
pie of sliced onions If onion flavor Is
liked, and a sprig of parsley, and cover
with water. Put over the flame until the
meat is heated through and then put In
the cooker with hot disk under 1t until
morning.
Then drain of the liquid. and remove
all the meat from the bones. Cut into
r,in orS int
Strain enough OF the liquid to cove: the
meat. and to every pint add a quarter Of
a package OF gelatine-the liquid should
be heated. and poured hot over the soft
ened gelatine. Season well with salt,
paprika and celery salt. and pour over
the meat. Stand away to harden-and
the Jellied meat loaf is ready to serve.
Now strain the remaining liquid. dilute
1t with water If it is too strong. and If
there is not enough Of it add tomato
juice. If there is enough. add some diced
boiled noodles, or any other desired gar
nish-and the soup Is ready
These two recipes suggest how very
good meals can be prepared in a fireless
cooker. For the hot baked beans and
pork chops with the addition of tomat to
salad and fruit for dessert would make
a good dinner. And the hot soup, the
1ell1ed beef loaf with sliced cucumbers
or tomatoes and potato chips. with boil
ed rice for dessert, would make another
good meal. For the rice, wash two cup
fuls Of it. and heat it thoroughly over
water in three pints OF milk. Season
with little salt. sugar and nutmeg, and
put in the cooker. still in the boiling
water, on hot plate. Leave 1t there
three or four hours. Just before serving
heat on the stove. and add the beaten
yolks Of couple of eggs. Or, IL the
day is hot. serve cold. as 1t is, with a
sauce made of the yolks Of eggs beaten
creamy. sweetened. and the whites Of
the eggs folded gently into them just be- !
fore serving.

the fact that DR.. Anderson had the Wis

some effect on his selection of her for

Did IL ever occur to You to be grateful
for the sense of smell2 Probably not.
and yet those who have been deprived of

Harriet Martineau, the famous English
writer, lacked the sense of smell and
consequently the sense of taste, which
depends on smell. Once and only once
she tasted in all the intensity of flavor
slice of leg OF mutton. The sense
came to her suddenly and she thought
and hoped it had come to stay.

her one taste. land l looked forward
with great eagerness TO the dainties that
Il knew would be set before me. How I
should enjoy practicing my new found
sense of taste"
But. alas. the sense of taste disap-
peared as suddenly as it had come, and
never returned. and she went through
life remembering that taste Of roast NUT
ton as one of her keenest joys.
The poet Wordsworth also lacked a
sense OF smell. Only once was the ban
lifted.
