II read your article concerning
potatoes in the diet and wonder
if you would not like to know
OF what, to me at least, is a new
discovery. The easiest way to
bake potatoes is to boil them in
salt brine. That is, put all the
salt into the water that it will
take up. Even if there is salt in
the water that is not dissolved,
that will make no difference.
Boil with the jackets on.
Contrary to expectation the
potato will not be oversalted even
II they are cooked in the salt
brine with the Jacket removed.
The potatoes will be dry and
mealy and actually not so moist
as a baked potato even after the
skin has been broken when done
to let the moisture escape.

fee any time after noon, it in

milk or cream and sleep soundly

III urious metallic fabrics that

made from this lovely stuff.

what is more beautiful than 4
shiek turban of this beautiful bro
cade. Black with silver motifs,
dull apricot with figures of old
gold, blues and silver, and numer-
GUS other combinations are offered
to suit ones individual taste. The
turbans are small shapes and are
wrapped around the; head in the
true Arabian style. No trimming
is necessary, although long ear
rings Will add considerable charm
to the appearance.
To wear. with a separate draped
or pleated skirt, the bodice of
metal cloth, is most delightful, and
forms the better half of a clever
afternoon or informal dinner gown.
The blouse should be simplicity
itself, relying solely on the beauty
of the material for it's success. An
oval neck, and sleeves Of the XII
mono type barely four inches long
are notable features of the newest
blouses, and the bottom is finished
with a broad, crushed band that
fits snugly over the hips at
rather low line.
Another type of blouse developed
in brocaded metal cloth is the
jacquette model that crosses in
front, and may be made with long
sleeves or none at all. These
bIouses form striking vests when
worn with a suit or topcoat.
For evening wear the tinted
metal cloth is well liked, and one
may have her choice OF silver or
gold melting into orchid, pale
green, peach, rose, turquoise blue
or black. These gowns are made
on the straightest Of lines, and
show the sleeveless bodice with
round neck, cut high at the back.
Sometimes the bodice is fitted with
quaint charm and attached to a
circular square skirt that dips
gracefully at the sides

Deane, of Zenith, Maine, vas
booking at it with her own eyes!
Dreams did come true, after all.
Bhe, forty-eight hours ago resi-
dent Of a sleepy Maine town,
was in the city whence came those
gorgeous women who, in the
hummelshine,, thrilled her as they
disembarked from their yachts
In Zenith Harbor, to stroll around
the town, amusement in their
eyes.
She looked to the, left. A linn
CUISINE, driven by a Inverted
chauffeur, beside. whom sat an
other nveried man, was also
stopped by the policeman in the
center of the avenue. Furtively,
Clancy eyed the slim matron
who sat, leaning back, in the
rear of the car. From the jaunty
toque of blue cloth trimmed with
gold, down the chinchilla- collared
seal coat, past the edge of brown
dpveteen skirt to the short
vamped shoes that, although
Clancy could not know it, had
just come from Paris. the woman
was everything that Clancy was
not.
As the policeman .bleW a
whistle and the taxi moved for
ward and turned up the avenue,
Clancy sat more stiffly. Oh,

well enough that he tailor-made

was the best that Bangor, near

And it would do. So would her
hat that, by the presence of the
woman in the limousine, was
made to seem coarse, bucolic.
Even her shoes. which she had
been assured were the very latest
thing, were, she suddenly knew,
altogether too long and narrow.
But. it didn't matter. In her
pocketbook she held the Open
Sesame" to New York.
A few weeks, and Clancy
Deane would be as well dressed
as this woman to whom . mo-
ment ago she had. been so close.
Clothes! They were. all that
Clancy needed. She knew that.
