BY MARY LEE.

MY friend Mrs. Wells has sent me
some recipes for our club COOK oooR'
said Mrs. Happy Homemaker.
You see that is the way we make
our cook book grow. We write to our
friends all over the country and ap-
peal for unusual recipes. then we have
them typewriter and clip them into the
loose-leaf binding
These are perfectly lovely! They are
'mock-meat' recipes, and l know II this
woman lived in Germany she would get
the iron cross for her inventive genius
Just listen to few:
Mock Pressed Chicken.-Into one
quart of boiling chicken stock stir one
pint of cornmeal. Season to taste, add
ing small bits of chicken or any bits
of meat. When cold slice and garnish
with sliced hard boiled eggs.
Mock Beef Loaf.-Make a stock of
one pint of boiling water and one table,
spoonful of beef extract. Add two well
beaten eggs and one pint of bread
crumbs. Season with salt and pepper
| to taste. and leaf or two Of sage, add
ing scraps of meat if there are any at
hand. The usual amount of beef extract
for stock is one tablespoonful to one
quart of boiling water, but to make IT
richer j double the amount Of extract,
and so have tasty substitute for beef
loaf.

A Bag for Everything.

If you wish to make a novel gift for
an engaged girl. give her a set Of
housekeeping bags. You can make
them all yourself. and you can make
the set to consist of as few or as many
bags as you wish to have it.
Make all the bags of materials that
can be easily washed Make all with
stout drawstrings of white tape. For
some of the bags cretonne can be used
and for the others muslin and cheese
cloth.
There are the refrigerator bags in
one set. These should be made of white
muslin. soft. but strong. There should
be big one in which a chicken, wash
ed and stuffed. ready to cook, can be
placed. to stand in the refrigerator I'M
til time to cook. Then there should be
one for washed lettuce. one for celery
hearts and stalks that are cleaned, one
for parsley. The uses of these bags
should be put on them in ss-stitche ed
or outlined letters.
There should also be a bag for to-
matoes. The tomatoes are placed in
the bag and then dipped into boiling
water. removed Immediately. chilled
and peeled. This method of removing
the skins leaves a firm, smooth tomato,
neither cooked by too much scalding
nor hacked with a knife.

SILK ALPACA TO BE FASHION LEADER,
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. April 26.-When the
fashion experts told the public that
silk alpaca would come into use this
spring the public smiled and thought it
a Joke 1t savored somehow of Cuban
mahogany sofas and seats of chairs that
had long been discarded and then re-
vived into fashion. Now women are going
about telling each other that it is quite
possible to get suit of this old-fashioned
fabric and be in the first fashion of the
day
In white and in black it is better than
in color. but France puts the seal of
her approval on dark blue in this
weave as she has in every other.
1 wonder what made France revive
alpaca for the spring of 1916? There
is some secret about it. Probably the
mills had a great quantity on hand, or
the looms used for weaving it were
easy to put into service. Rest assured
there is some connection between its
revival and Frances economy in fab
RIGS.
No American will object to the re-
vival of alpaca. for it is peculiarly suit
able to this climate between the months
of April and October. 1t has often been
objected to as harsh and unbecomng,
but the present weave of il is as soft
and pliable as crepe.
There are few of the French design
ers who have not turned it into a suit
or a frock or a top coat, and this must
have been done with an idea of pleas
ing Americans. for alpaca and mohalr
are indissolubly connected with other
days in this country.
Each designer also has method
peculiar to the house. Drecoll makes
regulation coat suits of it with splashes
of white shown in bands. buttons, but
tonholes and collar. Premet uses it for
a short coat and draped skirt for after
noon wear. combining its blue surface
with Scotch plaid silk. a soft. twilled
weave which she again calls surah.

Cheerful Window Boxes.

This is the season of the cheerful WIN
dow box. Indeed. the city dwelier usually
knows when spring has arrived by the
increasing display of window boxes on
the fronts of the homes of the more pro-
gressive of his neighbors. Hotels and
clubs. stores and dwellings all bloom forth
with the first spring days in a series OF
narrow gardens planted in boxes on the
window lodges
The thing of first Importance in plan
ming window box. either in city or coun-
try. is to fasten the box securely. Per-
haps the best way to do this is to have
hooks and staples fastened to box and
house. so that the box can be hooked
into place in the spring and unlocked
when its usefulness in that position Is
over. These fastenings are quite secure
and are almost unnoticeable. The brass
and the hooks into the boxes with little
effort.
very good plan. if the boxes are on
second-story or higher windows. or If
they are indoors, is to have trays made to
At under them a little larger than the
boxes to catch dripping water II you
don't want to go to the expense OF hav-
ing the trays made YOU can buy those
10-cent oblong trays and then buy boxes
small enough to stand on the trays.
In filling the box begin with layer Of
thinkers or broken flower pots. to give
drainage space at the bottom Then put
in the earth. which can be procured from
florist or in the woods.
Vines should be planted toward the front

plants should be crowded in rather close

Geraniums are always a good choice. for
they bloom we'll and are sturdy. and. with
their green leaves, make brave showing
Don't make the mistake of using red

Pink and white geraniums look far better
shades of bricks and geraniums are just

Pansies and sweet alysSum are lovely
together. and the pansies should be pick

Let the blossoms stay on the plants al
day-this for the appearance of the box

and they will give pleasure in the house.
Nasturtiums are of hardy growth and
| they, like panses, give cut flowers for the
house.
Window boxes should be soaked with
water. Water them every day They are
almost sure to be successful il they gel
enough water and occasional applications
of fertilizer. This should be given to them
about once a week. There are fertilizer
tablets to dissolve in water for window
boxes. and these are perhaps the easiest

too much fertilizer. or the leaves will turn
yellow and the plants will eventually die.

Hints for Housewives.

Salt water will clean bamboo furni-
ture and Chinese and Japanese mat
ting, and will prevent it from turning
yellow.
II a spoonful of lime is kept in the
pantry where the jellies and preserves
are stored, it will prevent them from
n olding.
To prevent table linen from becoming
yellow, fold it in an old sheet that has
been well blued before putting it away.
To save time and work we should fol-
low the example of the Japanese and
eliminate all useless things in the
house A profusion of things in the
space and makes endless care and dust
ing necessary.
Acid fruits should never be prepared
with a steel knife The best preparing
tools are nickel or silver knives.
When making hot starch always use
soapy water, as it gives the necessary
shine to linens, and the irons will not
stick.
Shoulder of pork Is delicious when
stuffed. Buy a nice fresh shoulder:
have the butcher bone it, then stuff it.
Sew it up tight. roll it in a cloth and
boil it two hours. Then remove the
cloth from 1t, put 1t in an iron baking
pan and bake it two hours.
When serving hot bread or pastry of
any kind use hot plates. The most deli
cious pastry can become soggy when
served on cold plates

Alpaca Combined With Surah.

1t is also strange that France brings
back the old fashioned silk which we
in America liked very well under the
name of surah and which later gave
way to the more debatable fabric call
ed taffeta. 1t is a soft fabric. clinging
to the figure and not liable to crack or
fade. In the old days we did not have
it in a variety of colors, but today We
can get it in Scotch plaid and in stripes
The latter is used abroad more COM
monty than here, for France is still I'M
der the romantic influence of the cos
tunes of its Highland soldiers.
One of the best suits of alpaca that
Premet has sent to this country is
being widely copied. 1t is sketched to-
day. The objection to it is that 1T is
too much draped and too ornamental
for the uses to which the American
puts alpaca.

The blossoming of nature in spring
time undoubtedly is responsible for
the human impulse to blossom in new
and fowerlike apparel at this season
of the year. Fashion then takes on
a lighter tone, and even children don
raiment that reflects many of the DOM
inant features of their elders attire.
This dainty petticoat represents a
design so simple that even a child
could make it-for wear beneath
party dress or a May-day costume. The
bodice section is a straight strip with
edging at the top and fastenings at
the back, and the pattern will serve
for a perfectly plain, medium fancy
or a very elaborate petticoat. A bo-
dice is furnished that is cut out around
the armholes and can be used for play

Attractiveness, accuracy and educa-

be considered by the board of award in
the prize poster contest being staged
by The Star in connection with Wash
ingtons baby week campaign, May
6-13. inclusive.
Not only must the prize winners be
pleasing to the eye as regards work
manship. but they must be considered
from the poster standpoint and must
convey a lesson to the beholder i'm
mediately he views them, for the more
quickly such a production carries its
message the more value it possesses.
The lesson conveyed must be of value
to the educational phase of the cam
paign for baby welfare. and must be
in pithy form.

to use it in this fabric it may serve
as an admirable model for satin or
soft silk Its skirt has the appearance
of being made up of two aprons in the
front-a method which the mouse OF
Premet. with Renee as it's designer, is
fond of employing.
This apron idea comes from Brittany
and is being used more or less by all
the French houses. Premet makes II
quite definite, especially In the upper
part of the skirt. as this sketch shows.
The skirt is quite short, the apron front
falls in a thick cascade at the side and
the hips are fattened and fitted by
fine tucks. The short coat has the now
famous Premet collar. standing away
from the neck and lined with plaid
surah. This trimming is repeated in the

Bulgarian forces moved toward haysla
the Greek government ordered three
divisions of IT'S army still remaining
in thai vicinity to retire. TINS was
explained by a military authority OF
the Entente Allies to-day, as follows;
"The Serbians had not finished tne
consolidation Of their position IN the
Florina, Caradjova and Corytss sectors
and. therefore, the Bulgarians found y
easv TO force a certain retirement. BUY

ton TO the advance of the enemy
Where the enemy attacked the regular
defences Of Salonica they accompllshed
nothing. As the attack has so far &C.,
yeloped. il is without strategic value.
Bulgarian air raids on Kilkich ana
Yannimsa have killed a number Of
Greeks. The Bulgarisns and Germsn
Ministers have repeated previous as
surances that the integrity Of Greece
will be respected. The civil population
in the attacked districts is fleeing IN
all directions,
