eRANBMoTHER's SHAWL.
How PaisIsys Once More
Flourish In Today's Fashion.

Once more the little hamlet of Pals
ley, In Renfrew, Scotland, is on the
map, and again the name Of Paisley is
on the tip Of the tongue, as 1t has not
been for some fifty odd years-not
since the days when every fashionable
woman possessed Paisley shawl or
two In lieu of other cloak or wrap.
All over the land women are getting
out old shawls from old dust covered
trunks and finding In them a veritable
treasure for this winters wardrobe.
There is-really a big demand for old
Paisleys In the fashionable dress
makers and milliner's shop, and some
women have sold their old shawls in
stead of having them used for their
own costumes. In the meantime strips
Of Paisley are the most fashionable Of
the seasons trimming, and perhaps be-
cause Paisley shawls are not any too
plentiful and because limitations are
not very satisfactory the vogue will
remain good for months to come.
Cashmere trimming is also fashion
able, though one would really hesitate
at cutting up genuine antique cash.
mere even to be in the current Of fash
ion. Always valuable, cashmere shawls
are now veritable treasures. One wo-
man owns one for which her grand
father paid $1,000 when he bought it
sixty years ago for her grandmother.
And another woman possesses a little
shoulder shawl, just scarf couple Of
feet wide and four or five long, with
ends of the wonderful cashmere work,
and the rest Of plain black, which cost
500 half a century ago.
These lovely old shawls are really too
valuable to cut up for f1nery that will
serve for only year or two. But they
can be very effectively used If they are
In good condition for covering a divan

1917'S DINNER.
How to Prepare II Just Like a Real
Chef.

Chef.
Chestnut Stuffing.-Shell and blanch
one cupful of Spanish chestnuts.
Throw them into boiling hot water and
boil them tender. Drain and chop fine.
Add two chopped truffles, a teaspoon
full of melted butter, teaspoonful Of
salt and a dash Of pepper. Fill this
into the turkey and roast in a quick
oven, at first moderate, for three
hours, basting every ten minutes.
The menu should begin with soup
consomme a la royale, made after this
recipe: Take the meat from one shin
Of beef and one knuckle of veal. Crack
the bones. Cut the meat into small
pieces. Put into the bottom of soup
kettle a teaspoonful Of sugar; let 1t
brown and add one onion sliced. Stir
until that is brown. Take from the
fire, put in the bones, then the meat.
Cover the whole with FIVE quarts of
cold water and simmer gently for four
hours. At the end of that time put in
one carrot sliced, one large onion,
with four cloves, two bay leaves, tea
spoonful of celery seed, two cloves of
garlic. Simmer one hour longer. Strain
and stand aside to cool. When cold re-
move the fat and sediment. Beat the
white of two eggs, add them to the
consomme, add the juice of half
lemon, bring the mixture to boiling
point and strain carefully through a
flannel bag or two thicknesses Of
cheese cloth, and it Is ready to use.
Season, of course, with salt and pep
per.
Next comes lobster timbale. This is
how it is made: Chop sufficient cold
boiled lobster to make half a pint.
pound it in a mortar. Add teaspoon
full of salt, dash of white pepper and
two unbeaten eggs; stir In two table
spoonfuls of cream and then the well
beaten whites of three eggs. Fill this
mixture into small molds, either gar
nished with truff1es or oyster crabs.
stand the molds in a pan of boiling wa
ter and bake in a moderately quick
oven for fifteen minutes. Serve with
plain cream sauce or with oyster crab
sauce.
Cranberry sauce is the inevitable &C
compartment of roast turkey. To
make it wash one cupful Of cranber-
ries, add a cupful Of water, bring to
boiling point, press through a colan-
der, stir in one pound Of sugar and
stand away.
Mint sherbet tops off the meal.
In preparing it, first boil one pint of
water and a pound Of sugar for five
minutes. Bruise the leaves from one
bunch Of mint. Stir them into the hot
strip, and when the strip is cold add
the juice Of three lemons. Turn into
the freezer and freeze. When ready to
serve dish. this into punch glasses, pour
over a teaspoonful of creme de menthe
