Food for Feasts.

Most cooks, even those ACCOMPLISHED
In the ordinary cooking of daily life,
must seek help when it comes to sery-
ing various forms of game as it ought
TO be served. And so much depends on
the way game is served, on the exact
flavor impaired to it in the serving,
that no cook should trust her instinct
or inherited skill in the matter. Here
is table of suggestions as to the an
propriate service of the more usual
sorts of autumn game:
Ducks. canvasback: Make a brown
gravy in the pan the ducks are baked
in. season with salt and pepper and
serve hot with the ducks Or pour
over the ducks when sending to the
table a tablespoonful of red currant
jelly and a wineglassful of sherry.
Ducks, of other wild species: Serve
with currant jelly, sliced lemon and a
rich sauce made by adding lemon Juice,
about two tablespoonfuls, and a table
spoonful each of mushroom catsup and
table sauce to the residue in the pan
in which the ducks were baked after
the grease has been poured off
Geese. Wild Stuff with tart apples
and serve with giblet gravy.
Grouse: Roasted, serve with brown
gravy; broiled, serve with cream gravy
Pheasants: Roasted. serve with
brown gravy; fried, serve with cream
gravy.
Quail: Serve with brown gravy,
green grape jelly and parsley
Rabbits: Roasted, serve like hare:

POTATO FACTS.

wholesomeness and nourishment. We
would all do well to eat of this good
dish oftener.
Potatoes that are going to be mashed
should be laid in water for an hour or
more before boiling. They should be
thoroughly drained before mashing, to
prevent them from being soggy.
Better than mashed potatoes are
whipped potatoes. They are made by
whipping with a fork till light They
are Favored with butter and a little
milk and whipped again until fluffy.
If the skins of potatoes are thor
oughly scrubbed before baking it is a
good idea to eat the entire potato. The
mineral matter lying close to the skin
is in this way eaten, and the skin has
the beneficial effect on the system that
Potatoes that are to be French fried
should be pared, cut into strips and
soaked three hours before frying. They
should be wiped dry with clean dish
towel before being entered into hot
fat in a frying basket.
If cooked in very hot butter or drip
pings fried potatoes are not indigeGti-
pie. 1t Is only when fried potatoes are
left in the grease long enough to alb
sorb it that they are less wholesome
than other kinds Of potatoes.
Cold leftover mashed potatoes may
be made into an attractive dish by
baking in a buttered dish with sprin-
king of grated cheese on top.
AT the present price potatoes are a
less economical form of starch food
than rice or macaroni, either of which
may be substituted for potatoes in the
menu once or twice a week to very
good advantage.

An elaborate blouse of brown chiffon,
finely plated over gold tissue, was
worn with this suit. The blouse ended,
as most of them do, in peplum out

made of kolinsky. Think of the sylph-

OF Interest TO Women
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, November An study
ing the new suits one is struck by the
influence of sport clothes which is seen
in some of the models. Coats of one
color and material and skirts of an
other recall the sweater and sport skirt
combination which we have worn for
several summers. Even the Russian
blouse shape of some of the coats comes
to US direct from the informal woven
garments which have become so impor-
tant a part of every woman's summer
wardrobe.
This blouse idea has taken a strong
hold on the whim of the moment and
one finds it in suits, in frocks and In
separate waists to wear with suits.
Most often it slips over the head and
has decorated opening at the neck.
and always it extends below the belt
outside the skirt. AS separate blouse
we find this model in all materials from
velvet to handkerchief linen. as coat
it is apt to be in a different material
from the skirt with which it is de-
signed to he worn.
The sketch shows one of these COM
binations in a suit composed of a blouse
coat of black velvet and a skirt of gray
broadcloth. Their relationship to each
other is assured by means of embroid-
Ing and cuffs. The velvet blouse. which
is a direct inspiration from the Rus
sian, may he worn as coat over thin
blouse or it may form the waist of the
frock.
The narrow belt is lined with gray
taffeta to strengthen the relation be-
tween the component parts of the cos
tune. The skirt has two pockets in
the front. another survival from sport
clothes. and the velvet blouse itself was
sent over here by some French design
er last summer. in cerise taffeta, to be
worn as a supper sport wrap. 1t was
a little in advance of the taste of the
moment and has been repeated for the
winter season to try its luck again.
That happens oftener than people sup
pose, by the way.
Skirts of One Color and Coats of
Another.
Several houses have sent models
which embody the idea of a different
material and color for the skirt and
coat of a suit. A very successful one
was Premet invention, with a coat of
putty -colored jersey cloth. worn with a
skirt of satin of the shade which has
been called "dregs of Wine" and is
really a sort of prune color. The skirt
was plated, as was the blouse of putty
colored chiffon, which went with it, and
the whole thing was lavishly trimmed
with moleskin. Another suit revived
the old idea of using striped and plain
material for the skirt and coat.
The jacket was a sort of Russian
blouse of brown velvet, with black and
gold embroidery on it and a big kolin-
sky collar. while the very straight and
rather narrow skirt was of brown and
black striped velvet, as old-fashioned a
material as one could wish, and both
were Auttoned everywhere that they

The newest sweater slips on over the
head 1t is not the old-fashioned Slip
on kind, for it is finished with "
shaped opening, instead of a high col
lar. It has a deep sailor collar in back
and there are usually some lacings at
the front, so that it has something the
line of a MILDLY blouse. There is belt.
The sweater of this type is usually
made of lightweight yarn.
A charming negligee is made of soft
mauve velvet, hanging in full folds,
like a wide coat, over sleeves and
chemisette of Softest white crepe.
Velvet in paisley design is used to
trim some of the lovely evening coats
of fur and velvet.
A smart little velvet toque has no
other trimming than two long. pointed
hat pin heads, covered with folds of
soft velvet.

MEXICANS ALSO

CARRIZAL BATTLE ALSO
RESULTED IN A HEAVY
LOSS FOR MEXICAN. CAP
TAIN BOYD rs DEAD.

Columbus, N. NJ, June r.
Unofficial reports from the field
tonight indicated that tine Ameri-
can forces engaged at Carrizal
were Troop H of the Tenth cav
airy, under Capt Charles Boyd,
O. strong. The same report gave
the Mexican strength at 200.
The troop of the Tenth cavalry
which FLASHED with Carranza for
ces yesterday at Carrizal held the
field for five hours before retreat
ing, although they were outnum-
bered five to one, according to UNI
official reports here tonight.
The reports said the Americans
only withdrew when heavy Mex
lean reinforcements were brought
up.
1t was learned that a courier
from the battlefield reached Gen.
Pershing's field headquarters at
Colonia Dublan late today and
the expeditionary commanders re-
port is expected over the army
wireless momentarily.
II Prisoners at Chihuahua
The seventeen American sol
dlers, negRo troopers of the Tenth
cavalry, who were captured in the
battle at Carrizal, were brought
here today with Lem H. Spills
bury, a Mormon scout employed
by Gen. Pershing, and were i'm
termed.
A Capt Moore, who was with
the American detachment, was
wounded in the shoulder but es-
capped.
In announcing this afternoon a
story of the battle which he said
Spillsbury told him, Gen. Jacinto
Trevino, commander of the mill
tary district of the northeast, de-
clared that at any time and at any
place the American troops move
other than toward the border, he
will comply to the letter with his
superior's orders and will attack
them as Gen. Felix Gomez did at
Carrizal. He said that all diplo-
matte arrangements are outside
of his sphere.

ENLISTMENT OF RECRUITS
HAS BEEN SATISFACTORY

Atlanta, June 22.-Recruiting
for the Fifth regiment of the
National Guard of Georgia reach
ed out today beyond the limits OF
the city and took in the neighbor-
ing towns of Marietta, Jonesboro,
Newman and Stone Mountain,
where numbers of young men
had signifed their desire to Join
the colors.
Adjutants General J. Van Holt
Nash, in command of the guard
OF this state, announces that three
regiments of Georgia guardsmen
ordered to the border have al
ready enlisted eliought men to
place every comany on the mini
mum peace footing of 65 men
each, but the new enlistments are
not evenly distributed among the
companies and consequently some
have more than they need while
Others haven't enough.
Therefore recruiting will con-
tlnue until each and every com
pany is up to the minimum of 65
men and then the extra recruits
will probably be distributed even
~ among the other companies, SO
as to make them uniform in size.
SO rapidly have RECRUITS been
fiocking1o the colors both here,
in No on, in Augusta and in Sa-
vannah that there is not the
slightest doubt of the three regi-
ments being ready to move to the
mobilization camp at Macon next
Monday.

SAYS THAT PRISON LIFE
MADE HIM YOUNG AGAIN

When David Esaacson entered
the Atlanta federal prison a year
ago and a day, he turned his face
to the red west and said: 81 am
going to my death | will never
see the sun again a free man"
When David Essacson left At
lanta federal prison Sunday, he
shook hands with the warden and
said: Il have added twenty-five
years to my life since | came
here"
A year and a day in the Allan
ia pen seems to have had a won
drous effect on this old man who
was indicted in New York for us
ing the mails to defraud and sent
to Atlanta alone-an honor pris-
oner, himself his own guard.
That was last June. He came
by way of Savannah and the peo-
pie on the boat never knew that
the quaint patriarch who spent
the long days painting sea scapes
from the deck was a combination
deputy-prisoner going to Jail.
Esaacson spent two days in At
lanta before he took himself to
prison. To a Journal reporter,
who accompanied him to the gate
in the great white wall, he babe
an affecting farewell. Tears rolled
down his cheeks, he clutched his
side with his hand, he could
scarcely speak.
That is the sunset of my life, y
he cried dramatically, as last
beam struck through the barred
windows on his face. 81 am dy-
img-dying."
1t was sheer melodrama, per-
haps, but melodrama ennobled by
the pitiful figure of the little old
man made, SO broken and old and
far from home.
The reporter did not see Esaac-
son again until Sunday year
and a day. The honor prisoner
came out smiling where he went
in with tears; he walked swiftly
along the walk where once he tot
tered; he was cheerful, almost
gay.
do not call me Esaacson," he
said, Call me the Prisoners
Friend. They elected me that in
side-those good fellows. And
now | am going to devote my Hfe
to helping them. Too old? l am
only seventy, and added twenty
five years in there. That makes
me As. I have a long time tc
live"
OF the warden, the deputies, the
guards, the prison system, Eaac'
son had nothing but good to say
He left Sunday night for Boston
glorying in his freedom, quoting
verse after verse of the Talmuc
where brotherhood is stressed.
