IN BOSTON MARKETS
Butter Market Firm-Egg Supply None
Too Large.


Boston, May 1.-THE local butter mar,
ket is showing rather surprising firmness
and the local factors who have been hop
ing for further decline that they might
secure June butter for storing fairly
cheaply are beginning to be worried. Pro-
duction is increasing, to be sure, and re-
ceipts show constant increase, but there
are no reserves of old butter left and
current consumption absorbs about all
that is coming in. 1t is pretty difficult
to depress a market when supply and
demand are running right abreast and,
Of course, this situation stiffens the
views of the receivers in their attitude
toward the retailers. The market is
truly firm.
The cheese market also is very firm,
for with exporters gobbling up almost
all the new cheese that is coming on the
primary markets, receipts for local use
do not amount to much and current
wants have to be met to a large extent
from old cheese. supplies of which are
seasonably small. The advantage is en-
tirely with sellers and they are not slow
to press it. Supplies of eggs are none too
large for the current demand and this
market also has strong tone, with hen
merry stock really scarce and held little
higher than at the close of last week.

ties look well i'm entire suits. The best
choice for this purpose is the imitation
baby lamb, and this is the variety
employed for the suit pictured. 1t is
banded with an imitation beaver fur.
The coat is q three-quarter length,
Russian model, with wide belt lined
with satin. The skirt is plain and
straight-hanging, with its border twice
as wide as the landings about the bot
tom of the coat. This is a detail
that adds much to the smartness of
the suit. The wide collar fastens di-
agonally at the front with three black
satin-covered buttons.
While the designer has managed this
suit of fur-fabric so that it is altogeth-
er attractive, combinations of plain
cloths or velvet with these heavy
weaves are less difficult TO work out
successfully. In these suits the border
at the bottom of the cloth skirt some
times extends almost to the knees. Or
the skirt is laid in wide panels with

markets. The small ones cook quicker
and have a better flavor. For all dishes
where pumplSini Is used the first process
is the same. Cook it until it is dry
and brown, this develops the flavor.
Some cut it In pieces and after remov-
ing the seeds and fiber bake it until
II Is soft and can be scOoped out of
the she'll Whether boiled, steamed or
baked 1t should be thoroughly done,
finely mashed and sifted through q
sieve. For the ordinary taste one cup
ful Of pumpkin is used to pint of
milk. two eggs, teaspoonful Of ginger,
few drops of lemon extract, a tea
spoonful of salt, and sugar to make Of
the desired sweetness.
Pumpkin Muffins-Sift together two
cupfuls of -four, half a teaspoOnful Of
salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der, beat two eggs and add them to
two-thirds of a cupful Of milk and a
cupful of slfted pumpkin; mix well and
add u fourth of cupful of melted but
ter; turn into hot creased muffin pans
ami bake 20 minutes In hot oven.
Creole cooks serve pumpkin cooked
as one does squash, baking it in. the
shell and serving it with butter Pump
kin- served seasoned with butter, salt
and pepper after 1t is well mashed
makes a most agreeable vegetable.
A most delicious way of serving
pumpkin and one which is enjoyed by
all pumpkin pie lovers is to fill timbal
cases with the pie mixture and bake.
You get all of the filling with little
crust and that crust easier to digest
than pastry. The custard may be
cooked and just added to the cases
when serving.
Pumpkin pie covered with whipped
cream and sprinkled generously with
savory rich grated cheese is a dish
liked by all.
Pumpkin may be dried or canned
and so ready to use at any time during
the year.

PUT QUESTION BACK TO PAPA
Small Boy Rather Had the Best Of
Joke Initiated by the Head of
the Family.

Theodore Chaplin, the young son OF
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Chaplin of 244O
North Talbot, has wisdom far beyond
his actual six years of existence.
Theodore is just recovering from an
attack of typhoid fever, and, natural
ly has been placed on a limited diet.
which, by the way, he observes with
remarkable fortitude. One evening
recently he was invited out for din
ler by young friend, and on his re-
turn home, Mrs. Chapin asked him
what he had to eat. He began slowly
to enamerate those things which the
family doctor had given him permis-
sion to eat, but, with true mother in
stinct, Mrs. Chaplin knew that he had
omitted one thing. She knew that
| there was one thing that her son was
passionately fond of. and that was
fried potatoes, which the doctor had
