If YOU arc going to boil fresh potatoes
for dinner, cook half a dozen extra for

in a. cup of water for ten minutes and
heat quart of milk in d double boiler.
When the milk comes to a boil add

ter and salt and pepper to season. Add
half the boiling milk to the potatoes.
stirring well: then put through col
andcr. Add to the rest of the milk
and chives and serve very hot with
croutons of toasted bread. These crou-
tons can be prepared at any time when
there are a few slices of stale bread
on hand and hot oven: then put
in glass cans ready for instant use.
Cut slices of bread in tiny squares,
lay on baking tins and set in the oven
and give the tins a shake. When they
begin to color watch closely and as
soon as a good golden shade take out.
Lima Beans.
While most of the fresh-grown vege-
tables are still scarce and high the
good old lima bean may be pressed into
active service. In the first place, they
may be treated just the same as the or
dinary pea or kidney bean and baked.
It is wiser after soaking overnight in
cold water to put the beans on in cold
water in the morning. changing twice
as it reaches the boiling point instead
of once as is usually the way with
baked beans. In making Succotash of
the dried beans cook until tender,
which will require several hours. then
add canned corn, half and half. or
two-thirds of corn to one of lima beans,

cooks, and some like the addition of
a little cream. This is a matter of
Individual taste.

Another interesting fact, which has
nothing to do with the fashions, is
that a majority of these noblewomen
did not pay their bills at all So they
were extravagant only in appearance.
Is that true also of our day? Well,
when / asked a fashionable dress
maker on 5th avenue why she had sud
denly developed a fondness for so many
rings, she answered that she took them
from a woman in lieu of money for
fine frocks she had worn All winter.

Upon one thing the American bankers
are all agreed. and that is that so far
the mission has stood firm on the prin-
ciple that the Indebtedness must be In
one form-straight bonds OF England
and France Jointly without collateral Sc
curity, but having priority over every
other form OF national Indebtedness OF
the two countries, including all war
loans.
ON the question OF interest there Is
general agreement that the mission
stands flrm on per cent. That does
not mean that the countries would re-
ceive the full face OF the loan, for II was
generally thought that the commission
of the syndicate will make the interest
to I've paid 5 n per cent.
The position last night seemed TO be
that the Ideas of the Anglo French mis-
sion have become we'll known to Amerl-
can financers and they in turn have ex-
pressed their views. II remains Tor haih
parties to get together on the best basis.
Not all the American bankers have
been heard from, however. and there
are engagements running several days
ahead for them TO express their ideas,
The bankers from the wheat growing
sections appear to be fairly well edu-
Gated TO the necessity for the loan. The
cotton section wants money and desires
IL on warehouse receipts. The manu-
facturers, particularly OF munitions OF
war, want gold.
