BEAN SPROUTS MAKE
MOST SAVORY DISH

From Small Soy Beans.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There may be nothing new under
the sun. Certainly bean sprouts are
not new to the Chinese. To many
American palates, however, they are
unfamiliar, while those who have en-
joyed their delicious flavor and succu-
lent texture in chop suey and other
savory dishes served in Chinese res
taurants in this country have wished
that they might be commonly used
In American homes. The bureau of
home economics of the United States
Department Of Agriculture suggests
that bean sprouts can be successfully
produced in any home from mung or
small soy beans. The American
homemaker can thus add to her list
a new food ands one Of great value,
especially if the supply of fresh vege-
tables is limited, for bean sprouts are
rich sources of vitamins as well as
other food materials.

beans at time for they will keep in

noble prince, might we'll be proud
to don so lovely a garb as is this
fashionable tunic dexterously knit OF
cleaning silver threads and black.
However, the leading lady in these
modern times is the style-lOving Amer
lean girl who thrills all who behold
as she sallies forth on Fifth avenue

That Miss America Is so fortunate
as to wear a tunic Of such handsome
mien as the picture shows is not the
witchery of a little old lady in the
forest waving a fairy wand. Indeed,
no! TUNES such as this model,
checkered in metal threads and black,
are the direct and practical result Of
the marvellous knit-craft which so
splendidly contributes to the glory OF
present-day modes.
It Is not to be wondered at that Her
American Highness, having read the

closed between the pan and dough.
Put the pie filling In place
Roll the upper crust in the same
manner as that just described for the
lower. Cut perforations In the upper
crust to allow for the escape of steam.
Moisten the rim Of the under crust
with water, place the top crust in
position and press the two edges to-
gether again, using the tines Of fork.
Bake twenty-five to thirty minutes
in a moderately hot oven, |. e., at
about $50 degrees Fahrenheit.
No more water should be added than
called for in the recipe. The proper
tions given have been tested innumer-
able times, and the addition of extra
water will only result in cracker
like pastry. Extra flour will not offset
extra water because the proportions
of the entire recipe will then be al
tered. If handled and measured cor
rectly, this recipe Is always satisfac-
tory.
The old idea that only ice water
should be used for all kinds of pastry
is more or less Of superstition. On
the contrary, if the fat is very cold,
as it will be If it Is kept in a cold
room or out-of-doors In freezing wealth
err, hot water is better than cold for
mixing the dough. In very warm
weather, however, 1t is. well to use
cold water If the fat seems very soft.
Tn putting the pie crust on the pan
it should be cut enough larger than

should be well pressed into the pan
and around the bottom with the fin
gers so that no air can be enclosed
beneath it. single pie crust or shell,
baked as undercrust for lemon or
chocolate or custard pie, should be
pricked with fork in many places to
allow any air that Is below the crust
to escape otherwise it will puff up in
the middle. The upper edge Of this
.andercrust should be rolled under. the
edge Of the pan. This gives good
appearance to the finished pie.

Band of Fur on Skirt
Adds to Ensemble Garb

A noticeable feature of several of
the smartest ensemble costumes is the
band of fur around the edge of the
skirt. The coat extends to this band
and the effect is that Of Embroidered
coat. This is a distinctly new note
which is exploited by number Of the
best houses.
A strong rival of the twilled mate
rails is found in softer finished woods
of which probably the most noteworthy
is kasha. Returning travellers from
Paris brought word that beige and nat
ural kasha was eminently the ia
.gorite of smart French women and on
this side Of the water It's vogue prom
ises to be equally great. Black kasha,
given character by touches of white,
Chinese red and bright blue, appears
again and again In the showings OF
well-known houses and these models
are among the most interesting Of the
newest frOcks.

Bead Combinations to
Add to Accessories


One kind of bead to make a string
is quite the correct thing, but it is
never to have two or three shapes such
as triangle, cube and barrel all
on one string, but divided by small
fit or round jet or crystal. The COM
.bination Of color Is also noted. Strings
of fine beads, say turquoise and gold
are twisted together with barrel
bead at intervals.
One of the newest fancies in neck
laces is a combination of pearls and
amber, say, six or eight pearls, accord
ing to the size, with three small barrel
shaped amber beads and then the same
number Of pearls, etc. Pearls strung
this way are, of course, not so general
" useful as when used alone, as
neither amber nor any other stone can
be worn with every costume as can
pearls.

Style and Grace
in Outdoor logs
Boyish Clothes Have Call
and Are Regarded as
Ultra Smart.

The ever-growing love for the life
signed for days In the open. The girl
of the hour is the sports type, says
fashion writer in the New York Times.
She is the country girl of the Twen-
tieth century, creature of athletic
femininity, Of style and grace and
dash, and the very best designers put
their very best imagination and work
manship into the things that make up
her equipment.
The really smart woman Of today is
the sportswoman, and her togs are
worn by even those who form the ''gal-
lery" at sports events. Few are guilty,
these days, of overdressing at outdoor
affairs 1t simply isn't DONE" and
sports clothes on these occasions are
the proper thing quite as much for the
audience as for the actors.
Necessary uniformity in sports and
semi-sports styles suggests the dress
Of the Scotch highlands, whose plaids
are being reproduced in the very latest
woolens and introduced in most effec-
tive ways In Out-of-doors costumes.
The simplicity, even severity, Of this
type Of dress is costly and demands
more nearly exact skill on the part of
the tailor than softer more elaborate
clothes, and variation Is problem.
The Scotch tartans offer a most pic
turesque quality, and some Of the most
stunning outfits for sports and general
country wear receive more Importance
Among the newest fabrics are repro
auctions of historic patterns that have

Cranberry Sauce Useful
to Replace Fresh Fruit

Cranberries have many uses in adj
dition to the traditional sauce or jelly
that accompanies the Thanksgiving
turkeys. Coming on the market as
they do when cold weather begins,
they help to replace the fresh fruits
and berries that have disappeared
from the menu, and furnish fruit acids
and other valuable constituents need
ed in the diet.
Cranberry sauce is, of course, the
easiest use for these berries because
1t takes but few minutes to cook the
cranberries and sugar sufficiently.
When made with small amount of
water the sauce will be firm enough
to turn 'out Of molds when cold. Any
good cook book gives directions for
making cranberry sauce to accompany
turkey or other poultry. When cram
berry jelly is preferred the sauce must
be strained. Cranberry ice or sherbet
made with the juice Of fresh berries
Is often served with the meat course
instead of the more common cram
berry sauce.
The United States Department of
Agriculture suggests that either the
sauce or jelly may be stored like any
other preserves in sterilized glasses
covered with paraf1n. 1t is then use
full as spread for bread, as sand
witch filling, In tart shells for desserts,
on Ice cream or plain blanc mango, on
shortcake, as sauce for hot cake-like
desserts such as cottage pudding or
puffs, with pancakes. in jtlly rolls, lay
er cake, or charlotte russo.

How to Prove Purity
of Woolens and Silks

Any housewife can determine the
purity of wollen or silk materials by
burning few threads. If 1t looks like
wooden goods, burn separate threads
of both the warp and the filling. Cot
ton burns readily with very little
odor, leaving scarcely any ash. wool
burns slowly, has the characteristic
odor of burned hair or feathers. and
leaves much ash.
If the goods look like silk, burn
part of the sample. Pure silk will
burn readily and curl up in hard,
shiny, headlike ash. Weighted silk,
when burned, will leave a residue
which will hold the original shape of
the cloth, but fall In pieces when
touched.
