There are Italian Renaissance mir
rors in painted wooden frames
showing dull red and soft blue
and gold.
They are the hand-glass type of
mirrors, which may be hung
against the wall in their gilded
wooden holders or used as real
hand mirrors, These are especi-
ally useful to hang in the hall in
addition to a big wall glass. For
with such mirror combination
the adjusting of the hat is an easy
and pleasant matter.

mirrors were made in pairs, and
ii is possible to buy modern mir
rors in pairs. Sometimes a pair
of matching mirrors is decidedly
effective.
Some mirror frames are lee
quered in Chinese red, or in
black traced with gilt. These mir
rcrs are charming in any room of
the'house.
Now there are such things as
unattractive mirrors, and some
times one find them already placed
in old houses. The thing then TO
do is TO treat them so that they
are as disable as possible.

Good Things to

-HOSE who like clans have an
advantage over those who do

more flavor in their repertory, to
put it that way. than in that of
those who, perchance, go as far
as liking oysters, but draw the
line at clans.
Minced CLAIMS.
Minced clans are delicious for
luncheon. To prepare them,
open and chop fine 25 clans, saw
ing all the liquor. Add the CLANS
and two-thirds Of a cup of liquor
to four tablespoons of butter,
melted, and cook for two min
utes. Then add two tablespoons
of minced parsley, two table
spoons of lemon juice, salt and
pepper. Heat thoroughly and
serve on slices. of thin, but but
tered toast.
Clam ChOwder.
Quite as important a part of the
season diet as fish chowder is clam
chowder. 1t is also a great all
the-year-round dish for luncheon,
Here is a tested receipt for it: Fry
three slices of fat salt pork, brown
in the bottom of a kettle. Then
add six potatoes. pearled and
sliced thin. and one onion, Add
boiling water enough to cover
them and boil slowly until nearly
done. Then add a quart of raw
clans, and boil slowly until nearly
done. Then add a quart of milk
a little butter, pepper and salt
and six butter crackers. split open
and moistened in warm water
The crackers called butter crack

Hang lots of them.
= = But hang them with dis
erection.
A mirror can do more than any
other one piece of household fur
nishing to change the aspect of a
room. 1t has bad as well as good
possibilities. Hung with knowl-
edge and discretion, it is won
der-working thing. Hung hit-or-
miss, wherever one happens to put
il, il is awful.
The thing of first importance in
hanging your mirrors is TO remem-
! Der that a mirror reflects. Some
women seem TO think only of a
mirror as a place wherein to see
whether their hats are on straight,
their noses free from shine, their
hair over their ears. They forget
that the mirror reflects everything
else that comes within its vision.
An ugly view through an opposite
window, a dingy hallway through
an opposite door. the faded spots
on the paper on an opposite wall.
So, place your mirrors where
they will reflect the loveliesi
things in your house. Place them
opposite doors and windows giving
on the garden, if you have one,
or on your favorite views, If your
house commands views. II your
windows and outside doors all
give on ugly things. place your
mirrors opposite interesting door

Some Boarding.
House Bores

-HERE is always the woman
who gave up keeping house
- ten or fifteen years ago and
who criticises the management Of
the boarding house. taking it for
granted that prices are the same
and conditions the same az when
she kept house.
And there Is the woman who is
afraid you will think that she
really likes to eat from plated
silver and heavy dishes. SO she

such heavy horrid dishes when one

And nowadays you will always

all right-you admire her for the
bit she did-only you get just a
little tired of hearing what 1--WE

of the boys" said TO her and
about that time she and two Others
were the only women among two
thousand men.
Then there is the rather old
woman who starts every meal by
telling you how the landlady'
cats annoy her. They torment hei
to death. She wonders why they
never try to get in other peoples
laps as they do in hers, when shC
dislikes them SO. Then wher
there is fish you notice that thi:
old lady always carries little of
on a saucer. If she sees you OBJ
serve IL, she tells you that she ha!

ment her to death for it. 1t il
the only way she can expect F.;
moments peace.
Then there is the person-ofteI

He seems to look at everything OIL

IRISH STEM

Irish stew is best eaten with
dumplings and boiled onions.
Roast of beef can be accompanied
by Drowned potatoes, string or
butter beans, or asparagus.
Broiled beefsteak can be accom-
panied by mashed or scallopad
potatoes. cauliflower or asparagus.
French fried potatoes are also a
proper accompaniment of broiled
beefsteak. Boiled tongue is served
with tomato sauce and spinach.

II would be interesting to take
up coffee as a hobby and TO be
come really intelligent on the sub
ject of various coffee blends and
flavors. Many persons are de-
voices OF Brazilian coffee. In
speaking of Brazilian coffee, how
ever. bear in mind that there is
the Rio and the Santos. The first
quite strong. and the latter often
difficult 10 distinguish from other
sorts of coffee. II is the strong
Rio coffee that many persons pre-
fer.
Some persons who have lived
in France are never through prais-
ing the goodness of French coffee.
and apparently hold the opinion
that d different blend of coffee is
used in France than any place
else. What makes the infusion
taste different is that usually from
ten TO thirty per cent of chicory is
used. Moreover. French coffee is
usually roasted somewhat more
heavily than is coffee for the
American table, and often butter
or sugar is added during the roast
ing. or course there are a good
many Americans who do not like
the result.

The food value of coffee as we

but IL was regarded as a food as
well as a beverage by the Ethiopi-
ans OF northern Africans, who
used il long before the rest of the
world knew OF its existence. They
used TO make balls from ground
dried coffee, mixed with grease,
and these balls were the only food
that they carried with them on

cursions.

nee the preachers preached
sermons and the moralists
raved against the pernicious
habit OF drinking coffee. This was
in England when coffee had first
government. authorities even tried
10 close coffee houses. because of
the supposed pernicious influence
of the beverage there dispensed.
If there was any Prohibition party
in those days il was the party that
looked with holy horror on the
new beverage that had been intro
duced from Africa while they
never thought for moment that
alcoholic beverages might some
time be looked upon as quite as
baneful.
Somehow coffee drinking seem
ed offensive TO the religious
mi"cNd. And now the religious
folk in the community are always
the ones who are most willing 70
do their bit in establishing coffee
houses as community centers to
take the place of the saloons.
The housewife once had to know
something about the blends of cof-
fees-or at least she thought she
did. She bought coffee by the
pound from the bins or bags where
II was kept in the grocery store.
and II she didn't know the brand
she liked best then she might go
home 10 find that the coffee she
mad bought was not what she
wanted. Now most of us content
ourselves with testing out several
brands of coffees that come in
packages and by getting the sort
that we find satisfactory always in
the future we manage to please
ourselves and our families. And
We really ought TO be grateful to
the distributors of these brand
cofees that the quality and flavor
Is maintained in uniformity.
There was time when most
American housewives asked for
Java and Mocha mixed and
ground. or in the bean, Java
and Mocha were terms that SEEM
ed 10 indicate just the right blend
TO most of us. Usually we didn't
know just what this meant. Now
the fact is that there never was
any coffee grown in Mocha. which
was merely shipping station sur
rounded by deserts. And now
barely any coffee is even shipped
from Mocha, since the building OF
the Suez Canal has changed the
course of commerce. But we still
talk of Mocha Coffee and can buy
IL in the store If we ask for il.
BY far the greatest amount o.
coffee is grown in Brazil now
though IL was not until 1740 tina
any coffee was grown there.
The first coffee was grown II
Africa and il was King Louis XIN
who first thought OF growing /
elsewhere. He conceived the fde.
of growing IL in the French IVES
Indian colony OF Martinique
From there il was introduced int,

then by the Dutch into Java ant
