Concert Was a Deiiuht.

An enthusiastic audience heard the

count OF the weather not as large a
crowd as was expected attended How.
ever. there was a fair attendance and
those present thoroughly appreciated
the entertainment given them.
The Carletonians excelled not only
In their music but also In their read
ings and dramatic action. Mr.. Bryn.
gelson gave two very good read
ings; the first. The Soul OF the
Violin by Merrill. the second a
selected piece. The first number OF
the program was Twilight" by Buck
which selection was rendered in a
very pleasing manner by the entire
club. Other numbers on the list
were, A Hong Kong Romance by Had.

Tragic Cantata of the GrasshOpper"

evening and was very cleveriy exc.
cuted by the entire club with several
soloists. The singers presented the
Carmena Waltz song as their last
number.
The audience called the performers

spond TO encores and one of the most
enjoyed numbers of the evening was
their last encore, a medley.
Mankato was the last stop in the

Lamp Shades of Remnants.

The plainest room looks pretty with
lamp or candle shades. These dainty
little etceteras soften down all the
angular corners and shed a mysterious
and exceedingly individual glow over
a room.
By her lamp and candle shades shall
you guess the character of any woman
They, more than anything, will speak
loudly to you of her refinement, fam
boyancy or-carlessness!
Plain paper shades are certainly not
exactly the indication of a subtle or
particularly dainty mind.
IAN expensive luxury" you say Not
at all, A friend of mine bought some
plain paper shades, but when she had
finished one of them 1t was one Of the
daintiest of shades. And she did it all
from few odds and ends.
She had some rose pink silk left over
from a blouse. She cut equal strips of
this the exact depth of the shade Each
piece she plated in such a way as to
form a triangle. Each triangle she
sewed neatly to the shade, covering
the untidy parts, top and bottom, with
a piece of narrow gold or silver braid
In the plain pieces between the tri-
angles of silk she secured dainty lit
tie punches of flowers made from gold
or silver tinsel OR gauze. You can
imagine what a transformation such q
treatment made to the plain little
paper shade, can't you?
These dressed shades are useful az
presents and for bazaars.

TODAY,S HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

How to Make Stock.

No kitchen should be without its jar
cooks will not make stock until it is called
for by Il recipe they using, This
means a waste of time and material, for
in everyday cooking all unused meat or
fish, bones or scraps should be simmered
down for stock.
The purpose of making stock is to draw
out all the juices and nourishin2 quail
ties by slow simmering. The ingredients,
raw or cooked meat, bones or fish, cut
into small pieces. are put into 4 pot, Gov
cred with cold water and set over a SLOW
fire to simmer for two or three hours
The water should never reach the boiling
point, for if meat is cooked at TOO great
a heat the juices will not be extracted.
Salt should be added when the water
reaches the simmering point This Will
help to bring the scum to the surface
All scum must be carefully removed as
soon as it rises. If the scum is removed
clear and clean.
Vegetables to favoi. should be added
at the last hour of cooking. They give
the stock a stale taste if overlooked
When the stock is ready. pour it through
a wire strainer into bowl. When it is
cold remove all the fat which has risen
to the surface. and the stock will be ready
for ordinary use.
All SloCh. WlletHeF IL Is 10 tt' uSt'tt iOT
soups or graves. should possess food
value. A little good rich stock is of great
er value than a quantity of poor stock.
good quality of stock is especially es-
sential in making soups. If your stock
seems thin and poor it should be enriched
by adding little milk, butter, meat, ex-
tract egg.
The water in which meat or fish has
been boiled forms stock.
Fish bones. skin and the leftover pieces
of fish make an excellent stock for fish
soups.
The Water in which peas and beans
have been boiled will make a vegetable
stock for vegetable SOUP, ragouts and
some sauces.
An excellent water pot or casserole
with a cover makes the best pot for stock
and is very easy to keep clean. A stock
pot should be thoroughly cleaned after
each time that it is used. and the stock
should never be allowed to remain in it
overnight.
For Il clear soup that requires several
stralnings, an exceptionally strong stock
is needed. as the clearing of the soup re-
moves much of the strength and flavor of
the stock.

To DARkEN HAIR
APPLY sage TEA:
A few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur bring back
its vigor. color, gloss
and thickness.

Common garden sage brewed
into a heavy tea with sulphur and
alcohol added will turn gray,
streaked and faded hair beauti-
fully dark and luxuriant, remove
every bit of dandruff, stop scalp
itching and falling hair. Just few,
applications will prove a revela-
tion if your hair is fading. gray or
dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at
homo, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get the ready-to-
use tonic. costing about so cents
"a large bottle at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound thus. avoiding
lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and at
tractivcness. By darkening your
hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur, no one can tell, because it
does so naturally. SO evenly. You
lust dampcn sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning all gray hairs
have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.

Taste Has Changed.
NEW COVERINGS FOR
WALLS AND FLOORS

This, the precleaning season. is the
one in which most thought is given to
the furnishing of the home and the
needed renovations and replenishing
in it, As the wall and floor coverings
are the foundation of all interior deco
ration. they usually receive first con-
sideration.~ The chief requisite in both
is that they should make harmonious
and restful backgrounds for the furni-
ture, pictures and bric-a-brac of the
room.
In order to have them satisfying and
beautiful backgrounds it is necessary
to avoid designs which are made up of
conspicuous units or colors. Each color
has it's own vibration; and if the vibra-
tion is discordant, the result is tragedy.
Intense designs or colors. unrelieved
by half-tones, are always Irritating,
and they can never be induced to stay
back in their respective places. PIC
lures always show to better advantage
on wall papers where there is slight
contrast between the design and the
background.
The revolt against over-decorated pa
pers and carpets has brought most
desirable variety of quiet patterns. and
also plain or self-toned wall and floor
coverings on the market. Truly de-
lightful effects can be gotten with pa
pers and carpets or rugs having con-
ventional designs of closely related
tones and subdued colors.
There is decided attempt this year
to have both form and tone harmony
between the floor and wall coverings,
and this is shown more than ever In
the designs. There is little excuse for
a design being unrelated to the use and
structure of the object it decorates, a
fact which has evidently impressed it
self upon the designers of the newest
rugs and wall papers. hence we have a
fine assortment Spotty effects, made
by strong contrasts of tones and colors.

walls or floors.

Hors d'Oeuvres.

Hors d'oeuvres are an essential part
of the French dejeuner, but here they
are not often served at the family
luncheon. They are often convenient
however. to eke out and give little
appetizer TO luncheon that mlghl
otherwise be scanty, and a few good
idea for hors d'oeuvres and saNorles
are valuable for the housewife. Here
are a few sample recipes that can De
made and worked into luncheon al
the last moment
DFVILED SARDINES.-Take sardines,
warm them in their own oil. add a liltle
lemon juice, season hlgniy with SAT- pep
per and English sauce, serve very hot on
small rounds of toast
SAVORY TOAST-Chop very finely, or
run through IA meat chopper, any pieces
OF cold chicken. beef, ham or tongue.
Pound to a paste with the yoiks OF two
hard boiled eggs, a piece of butter. pep
per, salt, a little Chutney and Worcester
shire Spread rather thicllly on thlt1
strips of toast and set in the oven to
heat.
CHEESE CANAPES--Cut bread into
pieces one-half an inch thick, then stamp
them into circles with biscuit cutter
Saute the bread III a little butter until 1t
is of an amber color on both sides. Cover
cheese. sprinkle with salt, pepper and q
dash of cayenne. Fifteen minutes before
the time to serve place them in the oven
for Il few minutes to soften the cheese.
ANCHOVY CANAPES.-Spread strips
of fried bread with Il thin layer of an
chovy paste. Sprinkle over the top alter
nate rows of the white and yolks of hard
boiled eggs chopped very fine. Sardine
cafapes are made by pounding the sar-
dimes to a paste, spreading it on strips
of fried bread and springling the top
with some sort of chopped pickle.
STUFFED EGGS.-Cut hard boiled
eggs in halves. Take out the yolks care
fully and mix them with an equal guam
tity of softened bread crumbs: season
highly with u little butter, salt and pep
per. Moisten with any sauce: add a lit
tie raw egg. Fill the whites from which
the yolks were taken. round off the tops
smoothly. slice Il small piece off the bot
tom. SO that the eggs will stand upright
and serve. Any flavoring or seasoning
that is liked may be added to the mixture
for stufting eggs-mayonnaise. mustard.
mushroom, tomato. or they may be mixed
with a French dressing.

who made us realize that radial pat
terms, often composed of fiat radial
units. are superior to bilateral units
(the pattern of which always leads the
eye in one direction) in designs for
floor coverings. The radial pattern sub
ordinates the units, as d rule, and en-
phasizes the beautiful proportions of
the rugs by the borders.
Bare floors, rug-covered, are to be
commended on the grounds of health,
beauty and economy of cost and care.
Tacked-down carpets are to be eX-
cused only in old houses where the con-
dition of the floors will not permit
their being exposed. Even carpet
bought by the yard is now usually
made up into a rug with a border.
While Turkish rugs are undoubtedly
the least expensive in the long run,
good body brussels can be had at a
much lower cost Few tapestry rugs
wear as well. Rag carpet, in the newer
designs, is pretty and not to be ignored
in bedrooms where cretonne is em-
ployed in the decorations.
