Tempting the Appetite.

when every one can get bright leaf
or gay flower from the garden, when
| summer fruits and vegetables are plenti-
full. the matter OF garnishing the dishes
served day after day Is not difficult. Blu,
when autumn comes, the successful cook
must begin to devise various ways OF
! making winter meat dishes and winter
desserts attractive to the eye.
Very often a dish may be delicious to
taste. but unattractive to the eye And
the eye judges it before the palate does.
SO make it attractive as we'll to the eye
IL you would have it a successful dish.
There are two sorts Of garnishes: Those
that add flavor. as well as decoration. and
those that are only decorative. and do not
add flavor. Mushrooms. for instance.
served with a ragout of meat. add to both
appearance and taste. A bright. green
to appearance This second class of
garnishes need not be served when they
are used on the serving dish.
Parsley is perhaps the most useful
garnish. In sprigs with cold meat, minced
with soup and vegetables and salads, it
Is always fresh in color, tempting in taste.
Mushrooms are useful, because, can
ned. they always can be kept on hand.
And so can peas A mound of canned
peas served in the middle of an Irish
stew makes it far daintier than a mound
of plain boiled potatoes. Potatoes, how
ever, can be used for garnishing. Scoop
raw potatoes with round scoop and boil
them. serve them with melted butter and
parsley for a garnish. Or force soft,
mashed potatoes through stiff paper
cone and brown in the oven. Or fry
brown small rounds of potatoes. Or use
French fried potatoes. And potato gar
nish is suitable with cold meat
Green and red peppers. too. can be
used to garnsh vegetables, meats and
salads. An egg salad is much improved
if it is dotted with bits Of red pepper.
Minced green pepper or shredded green
pepper adds both taste and looks to potato
salad
BeetS and carrots can be cut in rings
or stars, cooked tender very carefully, and
then used to garnish substantial meat
dishes.
Barberries are one of the purely orna-
mental winter garnishes. Holly, too, can
be used in season, and bits of evergreen
can often be called on to help make a
simple dish attractive.
Remember that the garnishing of dish
will often change it from something not
liked to a favorite with the family.

Brussels Sprouts au Gratin.

Boil the sprouts tender in salted
water. drain and cut each sprout in
four pieces. Cook together a table
spoonful each of butter and flour, and
when they are blended pour upon them
a scant pint of milk. When you have a
smooth sauce stir the quartered
sprouts into this. Season to taste, turn
all into creased pudding dish. strew
thickly with crumbs and bits of butter
and bake to a light brown. Serve in
the dish in which they were baked.

mere are many novelty wells on show
this autumn. although wells are not by
any means widely worn. Black chan
tilly lace wells are allowed to hang
loosely from the edge of the hat brim
to the shoulders, and are always pretty.
Much mohair braid, which gives a
military effect is used on new coats

Of the Old Orchard. Peter looked across
toward Farmer Browns house. There
were lights there. He remembered that
he had told Buster to wait until after
those lights had winked out and then
1t would be safe. He guessed. and he
guessed right. that this was just what
Buster was doing.
BY and by the lights winked out one
after another. When the last one had
winked out Buster gave a great sight
of relief. Peter smiled when he heard
1t. Buster waited a little while longer.
then very cautiously began to move
from tree to tree through the Old Or
chard. Peter followed at a safe distance.

Peter Rabbit was over at the Old Or
chard almost as soon IS the Blacks be-
San to creep through it. He had feel
ing, did Peter, that something was go
ing to happen in the Old Orchard soon
er or later. You see he knew that Bus
ter Bear would go far and do much for
a taste of honey, and that Buster had
got it into his head that there was a
lot of it hidden somewhere in the Old
Orchard. So Peter had made up his
mind that until Buster had found that
honey or given up looking for it the
Old Orchard would be a good place to
spend his nights.

Macaroni and cheese, or perhaps baked

Our grandmothers used always to put
fhe clothes to soak the night before but
now time and space seem to be lacking
for that particular rite. Much the same
result may be obtained by allowing the
clothes to stand for a while in hot soap

dirt, and the washing is made much
easier
There are some splendid washing ma
