Asbestos Mats,

The convenient disks Of metal bound
asbestos, plain on both sides or COW
cred on one side with thin metal, are
a boon to housewives, as they make It
possible to simmer with security. Al
most invariably, however, the first time
of contact of the asbestos with gas
flame or heated stove top results I'm
filing ones house or apartment with a
"reek" as Of pungently scorching pa
per. In order to avoid this incon-
venience let the new asbestos mats be-
fore going into use remain for several
hours either In a tightly closed and
well ventilated oven or else on top of
the oven, under the lids Of the back Of
the stove, where the direct up chimney
draft will carry Off the odor. One
good baking will generally make an
end Of the trouble, but If the inside of
the oven be chosen for the purpose
take 1t at time when no food Is to
be baked or roasted I'm it. as otherwise
ones cake or souffie may absorb the
scent Of scorching.

an enthusiastic devotee Of the game.
So very wide interest was shown in
her marriage to Prince George of Bat
tenberg, which took place recently at
the Chapel Royal, London.
The Countess Torby, mother of the
bride, was of extraordinarily romantic
descent. Her father was Prince Mich
Oas of Nassau, who in his day defied
royal authority by contracting a NOR
ganatic marriage with the daughter of
the great Russian poet Pushkin, who
was himself a grandson of Peter the
Greats black slave Hannibal.
1t is only necessary to look at the
Countess NADIA Torby to understand
that Prince George wanted her for her
self alone. She is a beauty Of the most
enhancing type. She has large dark
eyes, shaded by long lashes; a sensi-
i've and deIicately nodded face, a very
winning expression and a mass of
black hair. With all her charms she
Is simple and unaffected. The grand
duke has lived with his family for
many years at an English estate called
keele Hall, and he and his children
nave mingled freely among the people
OF the nciShborhood. The grand duke
member of the local board of edu-
cation. lie is known to many Amer
leans, with whom he has played golf
n perfectly democratic way at
Cannes.
The bridegroom, Prince George of
Dattenhcr@, is the son and heir of
d. 5. ii. Prince Louis of Battenberg,
WHO WAS formerly first sea lord of
Tue admiralty. Prince George Is a
lieutenant in the British navy.

THE TROLLS VISIT.

Once on a time there was a little
black troll who lived in the ground.
He was the grouchiest troll of the
tribe, and none of the other trolls ever
wanted him around.
Now, you may have heard it said
that misery loves company, and he
couldn't get it because none of his
troll companions, who were cheerful
little creatures who sang as they work
ed, could stand the little black troll
for more than two minutes at time.
And the little black troll complained
to the troll king that he was lonely
and that he thought the other trolls
didn't treat him right
The troll king thought and thought.
He knew just why the other trolls
didn't care to have the black troll
around, but he believed it would do
more good If the little black fellow
found it out for himself.
So he said: Every well. There's a
little boy not far from here that's been
complaining in just the way you COM
plain. 1 think I'll send you to visit
him for awhile"
The troll was quite pleased, and
when he reached Johnny Blyn's house
he was beginning to feel more cheer
full.
: Johnny didn't say, "Glad to see you"
or anything of that sort. He just star
ed at the troll and remarked, 'My.
what queer clothes you wearr'
The troll was hungry, and. as 1t was
lunch time, he followed Johnny in to
the lunch table. Johnny began by say
ing that he didn't want anything and
that there wasn't anything fit to eat.
He said such horrid things about the
food that at last the troll lost his own
appetite.
Then Johnny's mother told them to
go out and play, but Johnny said he
didn't want to play. He was tired of
all the games. When the troll suggest
ed some nice new ones Johnny said he
wouldn't play such dull games.
He stood it until tea time, and then
he said to Johnny: I'm going home.
don't think like 1t here"
OF course Johnny wanted to know
why, and the gnome answered.:
"You are too peevish and iii humor-
ed, that's why"
"You're peevish and Ill humored
yourself. you old black trollr' Johnny
cried angrily.
"Maybe 1 am" the troll answered
meekly. "but I'm not going to be so
any more, for If I can't stand you ]
can't expect anybody to stand me-"

ABOUT FURS.
Points About the Favor
lite Pelts This Season.

At present sealskin was almost any
thing originally. Muskrats and rab-
bits are mostly used. These substi-
tutes have not undergone as elaborate
and Disgusting a process as the real
seal, which Is first Of all plucked, the
coarse hair being entirely removed to
show the soft fur underneath. But
even that fur must be dyed.
So there is no such thing as natural
sealskin, except the hairy silvery pelt
which forms a handsome motorcoat,
usually of some few years standing.
Ermine is the favorite fur and in
sets and trimmings may be worn en-
promenade. For evening there are
long ermine cloaks.
Chinchilla, also costing huge sums,
Is another fur which is likely to be
unbecoming to certain women. Sew
eral furs initiate it from a distance.
and opossum is in something the same
coloring.
Skunk is very useful and becoming
fur and serves In a thousand ways,
being as much favored for trimmings
as it is for sets. 1t is the general
choice for collar and cuffs and trims
profusely many a Hudson bay SEAL
coat.
In novelties long black monkey is 8
Paris fad for trimming dresses.
= This long fur appears in numerous
ways, but as a fringe on evening gowns
1t is most conspicuous.
Fox sets are fairly classic.
Silver fox is one Of the handsomest.
Fisher is a magnificent choice, but it
is rather heavy fur, a good sized set
being somewhat weighty.
Russian fitch, cream and brown,
makes handsome set. The long stole
and the muff are made up in the mode
and most approved for sable sets.
The beauty and richness of furs are
indeed a delight.

Roast Young Piq.

A pig about six weeks old is best for
roasting whole. Scald and scrape the
skin and clean thoroughly the inside
the head and the feet, removing the
hoofs. Score the skin In squares, rub
lard over 1t and season with salt and
pepper. Fill with a bread dressing as
for turkey, or make a cornmeal dress
ing as follows: Salt two quarts Of
cornmeal-as for bread and mix to
stiff batter with boiling water; spread
In shallow pans and bake. When cool
break 1t up and add to 1t one-quarter
pound of butter, pepper to taste and
tablespoonful of sage or thyme Fill
the pig till plump. sew it up and place
It on its knees in the roasting pan.
Keep plenty Of water in the pan and
haste frequently, turning the pig as
you would turkey.
A half hour before the pig II done
place whole red apples In the pan and
bake.

Sleeve Facts.

Sleeves are rather doubtful quaint
ties this season, but none the less inter
esting at that. Most morning and aft
ernoon sleeyes are long. Occasionally
one sees three-quarter sleeve, but only
very seldom; it is usually flowing and
Is called the nuns sleeve or pagoda
sleeve.
Evening gowns show either no sleeve
at all or long, flowing angel sleeves or
some arm covering made by a cape or
scarf Of lace. Dropped shoulder capes
Of ribbon velvet, which show the top
Of the arm, but cross it just below the
top Of the shoulder, are found ON many
evening gowns.
A few kimOnO sleeves are to be found
In afternoon and evening gowns Of soft
materials like tulle, satin and velvet, as
this Is always a more graceful treat
ment than the set-in sleeve.
In suits the full length sleeve rather
large at the wrist to admit the loose
wristed glove Is to be found. In coats.
sleeves are larger and on the bishop
order. Raglan sleeves are to be seen,
too, in these separate coats.

THOSE HOT CAKES
Are They Not Americas National
and Best Dish?
HOW TO MAKE ALL BATTERS.

Griddles Are Important, and Cold
Weather Demands That a Table
spoonful of Shortening Be Added to
Give Richness to Your FIapjaeks.
We might call hot cakes an Ameri-
can national dish. The cheapest lunch
room, railroad dining room or most eX-
pensive hotel serves the omnipresent
griddlecake in varying degrees Of ex-
cellence.
To the woman IN the home, especial
ly one who does her own work, all bat
ter mixtures seem to be somewhat of
bother. She breads the smoke at
tendant on frying, the long time re-
Quired to prepare plate sufficient for
the family appetite, and she Is apt to
allow the head Of the house to seek his
cakes elsewhere.
But nothing, if well made, Is so
wholesome and sustaining as the hot
cake on a cold morning. Batters of
all kinds are extremely simple If im-
portant points in stirring and making
them are noted. Contrary to the usual
custom, it is better to sift the -four
into the liquid than to pour the liquid
into the flour. Add the two very slow
ly to avoid Jumps. Beat over and
over with a large perforated spoon or
whip. Allow the mixture to stand long
enough so that the flour may swell and
the mixture not be unexpectedly too
thick. If we notice the deft hot cake
expert in various restaurants we will
see that he pours the batter and does
not spoon it. Yet few women have
followed this common sense plan and
stick to the old, inefficient method of
ladling the batter instead Of pouring it.
The important thing about the mix
ture is the griddle. Custom has de-
creed that it should be soapstone, but
there are both aluminium and cast iron
and iron griddles which give excellent
results. The important thing Is to
have the griddle the right tempera-
ture before the batter is laid on it.
The griddle should never be washed.
but wiped with paper or towel Scour-
ing with salt will sometimes prevent
sticking. From supply stores we can
secure a little holder for the fat or
griddle greaser which will help US in
the somewhat untidy task of greasing
the griddle.
While many Of the prepared pancake
fours on the market are excellent, the
addition Of tablespoonful of shorten
ing increases the delicacy of the cake
Mixtures of milk are also more tender
and griddle cake is like other cakes
If you can't make 1t Of the best mate
rial 1t is not worth while. Eggs will
give 1t more nourishment and make It
more attractive looking. Wafles are
particularly nourishing because they
are a rich egg batter. The hot cake IS
nutritious because 1t combines milk,
-four. eggs and sugar, especially when
eaten with some kind of strip. As it
has a high starch, sugar and fat con-
tent it is an excellent food to resist
winter cold and keep up the body's
energy.
The sour milk mixtures made with
sour milk and soda are lighter than
those made with ordinary milk be-
cause in sour milk part of the protein
is already digested. But batters with
either sour or sweet milk are whole
some and easy to make if thought and
common sense are used.
