on skewers, brush the potatoes with
melted butter and place skewers across
narrow baking pan SO that the bacon
will drip into the pan. Potatoes so
cooked make a delicious accompani-
ment to a rather light meal of fish or
cold meat.
A trick OF Southern cookery worthy
Of imitation by the housewife who en-
joys novel seasonings is the use of
crisp fried bacon finely crushed. In
this can be rolled vegetables meat or
fish. Parboiled sweet potatoes sliced,
brushed with melted butter and rolled
in the finely crushed bacon crumbs
can be arranged in a shallow baking
tin and cooked in the oven or they can
be bro!led. The bacon crumbs impart
a particularly delicious flavor
The famous Southern dish known as
candied sweet potatoes can be most
conveniently served in a shallow cas-
serole. Parboil the potatoes, remove
the skins. cut in slices 1engthwise and
arrange in a buttered casserole. Make
q syrup Of sugar. butter and water and
pour over the potatoes. reservng some
for Blasting during cooking. They should
be tender and well cantiied when ready
to serve.
Stuffed sweet potatoes are a favorite
order at many tea rooms presided over
by Southern women. Rather large
sweet potatoes are used. Bake and cut
them in half lengthwise and scoop out
the centre without breaking the skin,
Press the pulp through a ricer and add
melted butter, salt, pepper. onion juice
and chopped parsley. Return the pulp
to the potato shell, heaping the mixture
well above the edge Of the skin and
brushing the top with beaten egg.
Brown in quick oven. Garnish the
ends OF each potato half with sprigs of
parsley. This arrangement of sweet
potato Is appropriately served with
chicken. either hot or cold.
Sweet potato roulettes make an appe-
fixing garnish for a platter of meat or
game 10 each cup OF mashed potato
add the yolks OF two eggs slightly
beaten, two tabiespeonfuls Of cream and
Ia little sherry. This gives the potato a
flavor similar to chestnuts. Season with
! salt and pepper. When cold add the
stiffiy beaten whites OF the two eggs.
Mould into small halls, dip in egg and
crumbs and fry In deep fat. Pile cam
non ball fashion around the edge Of the
platter, ALTERNATING with sprays Of
parsley.

Central Park when the red ball haa
conveyed to skaters the news that the
lake Is open and observe how much fun
thousands of young, middle aged and
elderly are deriving from the heaithful
sport, and unless you are too eedate
or set in your ways you will catch the
fever and resolve that you Will be over
at the lake on the following evening
with a pair of ice skates as compan-
ions
And what girls. If the lake had no
other claim to distinction 1t must be
given the highest award for the num-
Der and beauty of the girls it attracts.
They come from all parts OF the city,
they are of all ages and some Of them
can skate. There are girls to suit every
mans taste There Is the dashing girl
who will not consent to allow any
skater on the ice to pass her because
OF superior speed. On the other hand
you see the reserved girl. who believes
in enjoying herself by skating In a
dignifed way. sometimes holding the
arm of a male companion and some-
times in company with another girl
Unlike the dashtng girl she never seeks
TO accept the challenge of some one
who wishes to race.
The lake has been and is the place
for beginners. No other body OF Ice
in the greater city affords beginners
better facilities and thousands of per-
sons have learned TO skate on It, Fer
one thing the lake Is large enough TO
accommodate all classes There ID
plenty OF room in the centre for those
who know how 10 skate and who like
to glide along at great speed without
being interfered with by less speedy
skaters. While the speed marvels are
enjoying themselves in the centre of
the lake those who are learning find
ample room for practice along the bnr-
ders. where they are sure to be out
OF the path OF skaters.

CENTRAL PARK SKATERS.

A LTH0TGH the subway has brought
n Van Cortlandt Park within easy
reach from all parts of the city
the fact remains that the lake in Gem
tral Park retains It's popularity among
Ice skaters. If you doubt this asser-
ton the next time the announcement
is made that the lake is open for skat-
ing take car or walk to the Seventy
second street and Central Park West en-
trance and notice the large number Of
skaters making their way 10 the lake.
Some skaters prefer Van Cortiandt
Park because of the natural surround
ings. for there nature has been allowed
to take its course and has not been
aided by artificial means like Central
Park. When you take into conSidera-
ton the fact that some skaters do not
fully enjoy themselves unless they skate
in such an environment the reason for
Van Cortlandt Parks popularity with
skaters becomes apparent
Even with this advantage in It's favor
Van Cortlandt Park has not been able
to coax away from Central Park the
skaters who have used the lake for
almost a score of years. These skaters
planted in their esteem by Van Cort-
landt Parks lake, Prospect Parks lake
or any other lake within the confines
of Greater New York.
Perhaps as much from sentimental
reasons as fEam anything else the
lake in Central Park will retain it's
popularity. Some of the young women
and young men, some OF the middle
aged women and men learned to skate
on the lake. They look back with pleas
ure to the days when. with their first
pair, OF skates under their arms or
clutched tightly in their hands. they
descended the long winding Hill lead
ing from the Seyents--seconti street and
Central Park West entrance to the
lake. And where is there q skater who
has descended that hill who does not
