Bread Quickly Made.

I'D BREAK two cakes Of yeast into one
ID cup of water at blood temperature.
Put a tablespoonful Of sugar on the
yeast to stimulate its quick growth.
While this soaks, warm two cups Of milk
with one cup of water. This, with the
water over the yeast. makes a quart OF
vetting sufficient for four loaves.
In a large mixing bowl put several
sleeves of flour and make depression In
the middle of the -four. into which put
level tablespoonful of salt and a heaping
tablespoonful of lard. Pour the liquid
and the yeast upon the -four and mix
the outside into the liquid in the middle
of the mass. Make a stiff dough and lift
the ball out. putting away any remaining
flour for future use. II the flour Is gran
ular let the dough lie on the board for
ten minutes, covered with a warm bowl,
that the flour may properly absorb the
moisture. If the flour is not granular.
this wait is not necessary.
Now shape the dough without knead-
ing, lay the ball in buttered bowl.
and butter the surface OF the dough to
keep 1t soft Cover and let 1t double
in a warm place, an hour to an hour and
half II you wish still further to hur
ry it, set the bowl in warm water and
place a smaller bowl of warm water on
the lid of the large bowl containing the
dough.
When doubled. shape quickly into the
baking pans for the second rising and
bake when again light. This recipe is
excellent for use when one must have
bread in a hurry. Half Of the dough
may be made into crusty rolls.

Of apparel who were unemployed had

1t is only natural that in New York
one should see the greatest evidences
OF prosperity, not because there is
prosperity In New York alone. but in
America. When the average American
has any money above his or her neces-
stiles the first idea is to take trip to
New York to see what is new. and. if
possible. to buy it. New York. there

of women over the entire continent be-

You see how admirably the two con-
ditions dovetailed. Parts, which need

of new fashions.
While waiting for the changes to

have gladly accepted them. The mill

is really the most genial cooperation

Black lace is one of the strong cards
which the milliners are playing this
year. and it is so widely used for

has been made in imitation. The fact
| OF the becomingness of a black lace
broad brimmed hat is never beyond
dispute. Those who are good judges
Of such things say that irregular
shadows thrown over the face are
always Objectionable. but women have
shown how little they care for this

which have large and irregular pat
terms worked on the surface.

regular surface, which is broken by
one or more pleated frlls, tends to de-
crease the appearance of height The
original Louis Philippe model which
launched the fashion had a pompon of
small, colored ostrich tips used at the
side, but the majority of limitations
omit this touch.
The novelty touch that the majority
of women will most quickly notice
this season is the use of glisten1ng
straw made into roses. flowers and
leaves of different kinds. A black

On another hat of black straw which
had a high wide crown and tiny,
rolling brim there was an immense
drum-major ornament made out or
dark blue straw.
Colored as we'll as black straw is
used for bands and bows instead OF

so overworked that it is probable that
we shall be tired of it before spring
comes All these novelties are quickly
run to ground, especially when they
start SO early in the season.
There are a great many black straWs
in evidence and there are also colored
ones. Satin is again used in combina-
ton with fine milan straw, and enor-
nous sprays of eoura feathers are used
haringly across the back or side OF
hat. The milliners say that this re-
vived fashion for goura was brought
about by the hats chosen by Mrs. Will

for these hats two months ago. ana

There are one-piece frocks, to be worn
the afternoon. that also show the fash
| ion for the mingling of two materials.
A blue faille skirt with a bodice of
gabardine is used for one Of the new
models for one-piece frocks. 1t takes
one back to the races in Paris nearly
two years ago, when the first tight
little bodice Of gabardine and a flarine,
striped skirt were worn by that cele-
brated beauty, Mile. Forzane. The model
has evidently lain fallow in the brains
OF the designers and has been brought
out again for the spring.
In its present form it gains a touch
of novelty by being made of two ma
terials that are in sharper contrast
than the materials used two years ago
After Doucet launched his remark
ably lovely evening frock of silver It's
sue last November, America took hold
of the idea and exploited it. but very
few women would wear the gown
Probably they were afraid of the repu-
tation that silver tissue has of tar
nishing and turning black when left to
itself. And yet, after this gown was
launched, women took hold of the idea
of wearing colored, metal cloth frocks
The production of this material was
a triumph of the looms and of the
master weavers. 1t was fosted upon
the public without much heralding and
1t became easily the foremost fabric
Of the month. Happily. it has not
been dyed in brilliant colors; it has
been guided by an artistic hand into
pale rose pink, mauve, peculiarly
lovely shade of sky blue.
Entire frocks have been made Of
this ia brio, the saving grace being that
the skirts are very short and the
bodices slim and low. Where trimming
is demanded, it is supplied by silk

side streets when the demands for
women's apparel have been so insistent
and the prices so consistently high.
1t is no trick of the imagination to
think that New York has more people
in it than ever before; It is fact. and
all of these people are in Gotham to
spend money. The hotels have been
so full for five months that an associa-
ton has been formed to provide places
for every one: one hotel alone had
floating population for the month of
5000 people. When the first cold snap
of the winter came an immense munic-
ipal lodging house which is establish

quick advantage of this wish for some
thing new. That is the reason that
the shops offer as many fashions at
once as women can afford, regardless
OF the season. 1t is not their place
to ask tine reason why; it is their place
to supply.
Nothing pleases commerce more than
to have women change their minds

If the idea of ain entire gown of rose
or mauve metal tissue does not appeal
to a woman. at least she may care to
know that the fabric is in fashion in
order to make use of it on another
gown. A bodice of mauve-colored
metal tissue goes very well with a
skirt of mauve-colored tulle or even
one of white, and a simpler adjust
ment of the fabric is to use it as a

Mrs. Farmer of the Boston Cooking
School gives the following directions
for Boston baked beans:
Pick over one quart pea beans, cover
with cold water and soak overnight.
In morning. drain. cover with fresh
water. heat slowly excepting water be-
low boiling point, and cook until skins
will burst, which is best determined
by taking a few beans on the tip of
spoon and blowing on them. when
SKINS Will burst II sumcIentiy cooked.
Beans thus tested must, of course, be
thrown away. Drain beans, throwing
bean water out of doors, not in sink.
scald rind of three-fourths pound of
rat salt pork, scrape, remove one
fourth-inch slice and put in bottom of
bean pot Cut through rind of remain
ing pork every one-half inch, making
cuts one inch deep. Put beans in pot
and bury pork in beans, leaving rind
exposed. Mix one tablespoon salt, one
tablespoon molasses and three table
spoons sugar: add one cup boiling
water and pour over beans; then add
enough more boiling water to cover
beans Cover bean pot. put In oven
ana bake slowly six or eight hours. I'M
covering the last hour of cooking.
that rind may become brown and crisp.
that by adding with seesonings one
half tablespoon mustard the beans
are more easily digested. II pork mixed
with lean is preferred, use less salt.
The hne reputation which Boston
baked beans have gained has been at
| trtbuted to the earthen bean pot with
small top and bulging sides IN which
ly good beans have often been eaten
where five-pound lard pail was sub
stituted for tho broken bean pot. Yell

afar
A woman who bought gown in
Paris last spring. which had a wide.
striped skirt of heavy silk and a short
little jacket of sober black satin, has
found herself quite out of the runnin z
until now. She has resurrected it and
feels like putting the tag 1916 on it,
for some of the new gowns France
is sending over are built on this model
One of the best has full skirt of blue
and brown striped silk which is top
ped by a blue serge jacket, open in
front to show vest Of white muslin
This. ,mingling of striped. silk and
plain blue serge promises to be a popu-
lar feature for the spring. A hand
full Of straw point to the fact that
we will wear skirts and jackets of
different fabrics on the street, and
the favorite choice for the skirt will
be striped or checked. heavy silk. The
stripes. mind you, run around the fig
ure more often than they do up and
down.
This same idea is followed out in
evening gowns, for skirts and bodces
do not match in material, even if they
do in color All winter we have worn
the bodices of gauze, and now it is
supplanted by bodices of silk. heavily
embroidered in silver.
