women have a marked aptitude for
public affairs. He recently addressed
the Associated Alumnae of Barnard

their private affairs they can still
look out on the affairs of the universe.

An old goose bears off the
palm for toughness from the rest
Of the feathered tribe. When in
his maturity he has likewise a
stronger favor than is agreeable
to fastidious palate. Wash him
out thoroughly after cleaning,
adding to the second water a
teaspoonful of soda. Rinse we'll
after this and cover with fresh
cold water in which you have
stirred a tablespoonful Of vine
gar to extract the rank taste
from skin and flesh. Wipe dry
inside and out and stuff with dry
crumbs well seasoned. Lay in
the dripping pan and dash over
it from the boiling tea kettle a
cupful of water. 1t should cica-
trize the surface Of the fowl.
Cook in a covered rooster, bast-
ing every fifteen minutes, allow
, ing fifteen minutes per pound.
The steam from the boiling wa
, ter and from the heating body
win gradually make the flesh

Use mirrors economically; make ev-
cry one count
Place one, after the French fashion,
over the fireplace to reflect the room,
or place one in English fashion be-
tween the windows at the end Of a
long narrow room to emphasize the
light there.
Place one where it will reflect a
charming glimpse of the garden
through window opposite it.
Place one in the hall opposite the en-
trance into the drawing room or living
room to give a sense of spaciousness.
Place one on dark wall where it
will catch the light.
Place one in bedroom where it will
reflect the mirror Of the dressing table.
Remember that flowers in front of a
mirror are twice as attractive as flow
ers placed against wall.
