One tablespoon of butter.
Four tablespoons of water.
Set the sugar to boil, and as it
begins to boil add the nuts, which
have been broken into small and me-
dunn sized pieces. Let all boil until
it begins to bubble, stirring constant

Matte Belle: When cold consomme
is mentioned it means a jellied con
somme. No soup is palatable co.'s
and fluis, but the jellied consomne
makes a. very attractive service. we
make chicken consomme by either
having our broth so rich that it Jel-
lies of itself Or by adding a small
amount of gelatin if We want the
consomme less rich.
A. l.. c.: In the beginning of the
season brown was certainly the Ia
vorite shade, but black satin has a.
\ strong hold for afternoon wear, so
has black velvet, but never the latter
unless YOU can afford a really fine
piece of velvet.

know is not right or proper, Believe
me when [ tell you that you will find

Mother: If you are afraid your
small girl will take cold with wash
clothes on in the winter and yet dis
likes wooden dresses for so small
girl. YOU can overcome this by haV-
ing the wooden boomers made on
the wooden underbody and the dress
of Bingham or lined or silk will be
warm enough. OF course you want
these boomers made of light colors
for wear under light frocks and the
darker ones under the dark rocks

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes
a new country cousin" to visit you for a
few minutes today. I have been residing in
Florida for only a few months. Ny home
town was Nashville, up in good old Ten
nessee, and, believe me, don't miss wish
ing 1 was back there, for don't believe l
/ was meant for a ''corn-fed" country girl.
1 believe one naturally prefers living where
they are reared. So, after all, town or
country is really not matter of choice OF
where to live. So, naturally, L am strong
for the city. The country sports are not
numerous, The city is the place for good
time AS for fishing, a fishing party can
be gotten up in the city, at leisure and the
crowd can fish at the nearest river take

For swim, belong to Y. w. G.. A. OF
Y. NJ. C. A. and enjoy a clean, cool, re-
freshing plunge. Then, too, there are
beaches, either natural or artificial, in all
cities. For horseback riding belong to q
Y. W. C. A. horseback riding club. So
that proves one doesn't have to live in the
country to engage in those three said same
sports. 1t is fine to belong to the Girl Re
serves, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and
Y. W. c. A clubs in the city. Go hiking
out the highways, and when vacation comes
have the camping parties go to real girls
camp. Then, too, city schools are the best
and educa ton is enforced and encouraged
