The new styles in handkerchiefs
are as usual, many and varied. One
of the prettiest Of the new ones shows
ruff1e about an inch wide, Of violet
tulle as an edging. The center is Of
very sheer linen and the ruff1e Is
very soft and full, and the little hand
kerchief is decidedly fluffy and dainty.
A Yorkville lady, who, by the way,
/ has the reputation Of being splendid
cook, uses this receipt in making po-
tato salad: Six or eight new potatoes,
two hard boiled eggs, one onion sliced
thin, one head of lettuce, a little chop
ped parsley, one-half teaspoon OF
salt, and one-fourth Of teaspoon
Of pepper. Ushe only freshly boil
ed potatoes. While warm, slice or
cut into cubes, add onion, parsley and
French dressing to saturate potatoes
Mix we'll and then set aside in a cool
place. Serve on crisp lettuce and
garnish with eggs and little picked
beet.
"Is there no new way under the sun
by which l can entertain the little
folks?" asks many a mother; and the
problem Is indeed a perplexing one.
If one will take an old magazine, and
on it's page carefully paste cuttings
and news Illustrations, the book will
be made quite attractive. Save the
fairy and other stories which are pub
lished in the Sunday newspapers; ask
a friend or two to do the same; sup
ply the children with blunt pointed
scissors and jar Of paste. The result
will be many happy hours and an
amusing as we'll as Instructive book.
OF course, a blank book or scrap
book is more substantial, but for
economy and pastime an old maga-
zine will answer. Pictures from old
calendars are good, as they usually
picture some noted spot, about which
mother or nurse can readily weave
some story starting with the time
honored "once upon time"
Since skirts are becoming shorter
and shorter as the season advances,
good deal Of prominence Is bestow-
ed upon the feet and ankles Of these
abbreviated modes and to go shabbily
shod or clad in cotton stockings is an
impossibility in these days Of full
skirts which swing fully eight or ten
inches from the ground. Now may
be every woman cannot afford to wear
silk stockings. They are looked upon
by many as luxury. This year,
however, many will wear these stock
ings who never wore them before.
And the point is-don't buy the cheap
kind. Women who wear the kind that
wear out after being worn two or
three times really cannot afford to
wear them. When you buy, don't buy
the kind that sells for so or rs cents.
1t is an extravaganza to wear them.
Buy those that sell for 81 or $3.50 and
you will find that instead of being ex-
travagant you will have really been
economical because a pair Of the good
kind will last five times as long as the
cheap ones.
Here Is a little bit Of verse which
John Quincy Adams has written. May
be some little boy or girl who has to
take part in a "Children's Day" cele-
bration or other festival, might like to
recite 1t:
One day between the Lip and the
Heart,
A wordless strife arose,
Which was expertest in the art
His purpose to disclose.
The Lip called for the vassal Tongue,
And made him vouch-a lie.
The slave his servile anthems sung,
And braved the listening sky.
The Heart to speak in vain essayed,
Nor could his purpose reach
His will nor voice nor tongue obeyed,
His silence was his speech.
Mark thou, their differences, child
Of earth,
While each performs his part,
Not all the lip can speak is worth
The silence of the heart.
whats the matter, Mrs. Tyson?"
asked Mrs. Grimm as she perceived
a worried look on the face Of her
neighbor. "Oh, dear" replied Mrs.
Tyson, lit is so hard to think Of
something new to get up for dinner.
l wish l never had to prepare a meal"
why, / know there are lots Of dish
es you have never tried" replied
pleasant Mrs. Grimm. There's egg
and tomato scramble, for instance.
Have you ever served that?" mo-" re-
piled the lady Of the worried coun-
tonance, how do you make it?"
Why" replied Mrs. Grimm, simply
melt one tablespoon of butter and add
one pint Of tomato sauce which has
been previously stewed with a little
chopped onion and a high seasoning
and then strained When it is boiling
hot slip the waterpan underneath
and add six eggs which have been
slightly beaten. Also add half
teaspoon Of salt. Then stir continu-
ally until the mixture is quite thick
and creamy, and then serve quickly"
Several days later Mrs. Grimm again
saw Mrs. Tyson and the latter said,
"Oh, Mrs. Grimm, tried that receipt
and the dish was fine. The whole
family enjoyed it ever so much" 81
am glad" replied Mrs. Grimm. May
be l can furnish you with more re-
ceipts some time"
