ROAST PORK WITH coWPEAs
Cooked In Same Manner as Dried
Navy and Kidney Beans-Apple
Sauce Will Help.

Whenever cowpeas are common
crop, they are cooked in the same
way as dried navy and kidney beans.
They are first cooked In water, much
of which they absorb. When parboiled
until tender either beans or coWpeas
may be combined with meat.
A leg of young pork is the most
desirable piece of meat for preparing
roast pork with cowpeas. A deep cut
in the knuckle filed with sage, pepper,
salt, and chopped onion will give 1t
flavor. After being half-roasted the
skin should be cut, but not deeper
than the outer rind, in several places.
The excess fat is drained off when the
roast is almost done, and quart OF
parboiled white cowpeas is poured
into the roast pan. The meat and
peas must then cook slowly until the
beans are entirely done and the meat
is brown. Apple sauce is palatable
accompaniment to serve with the
roast pork and cowpeas, the United
States Department Of Agriculture sug-
gests.

Gifts Made From Ribbons;
Hats of Metallic Fabrics

It is long time since u~omen were
content with one hat for spring and
one for fall. With the greater activi-
ties of these days, there has come the
need of greater variety in millinery
to meet the requirements of widely
different occasions and since styles
change even more rapidly than sea-
sons, the fall hat is supplanted by a
mid-season hat and this in turn is dis
carded for the hat designed particular
~ for mid-winter wear, then come be-
tween seasons headwear, heralding
that of spring.
What fashion dictates as the proper
thing in dressy hats for mid-winter
may be seen in the group of models
illustrated here. Winter hats should
be bright, to relieve the subdusd

T. is not while beauty and youth
are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by
a tear,
That the fervor and faith of a soul
can be known,
To which time will but make
thee more dear.
No, the heart that has truly loved
never forgets,
But as truly loves on to its close,
AS the sunhower turns on her god,
when he sets,
The same look which she turned
on the rose.
