SOME GOOD RECIPES
FOR BAKING COOKIES
Children Need Something When
They Get Home From School.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The old-fashioned cookie jar has a
place in every home where there are
growing children, for the custom Of
giving the children milk and a few
cookies in the middle of the afternoon,
when they get home from school, is
based on a real need of their active
young bodies. Growing children, es-
pecially those between twelve and
twenty, are using up so much energy
that an extra little meal of this kind Is
necessary to supply sufficient number
Of calories. This is not the same as
the tabooed habit of "eating between
meals" 1t is a meal in itself, with a
justifabIe place in the days menu.
Particularly in the case of those who
carry a sandwich lunch is that after

the strip is all absorbed by the peel.
Great care must be taken at this point
that the strip does not scorch, and
the strips of peel must be lifted or
turned frequently so that all are
equally penetrated by the strip. Use
a fork in turning the strips and In re-
moving them from the pan.
Store in Cool Place.
Place the peel on waxed paper, and
when cool roll the strips in granu-
lated sugar, turning them carefully
with a knife Let them dry out for a
few hours or over night, then wrap in
waxed paper and keep in tightly COW
cred tin or glass containers until used.
If left in paper boxes they tend to be-
come hard and crusty in winter or
sticky in summer. However, they
should keep in good condition for two
or three weeks if properly stored in a
moderately cool place.
The peel should be jellied through
out, translucent, thick, tender and
juicy, not shrunken nor gummy; the
skin should be soft and the outer
coating Of sugar in distinct crystals,
not in a crust
When larger quantities are jellied
at one time the process is slightly
changed. If twice this quantity is
used, choose a saucepan about eight
inches in diameter. double the guam
tity of all the ingredients and cook the
strips an hour Cor longer if necessary
in order that all the strip may be abb
Sorbed.
Size of Saucepan.
If four times the original quantity is
used, it will be wise to choose a sauce
pan about ten inches in diameter at
the top. Take four times as much peel
and Sugar, but in parboiling the peel
use only enough water to cover it
we'll In making the strip, use four
cupfuls of sugar but only about one
and one-half to two cupfuls of water (;
it will then be necessary to cook the
strips in the strip for an hopg or
more. Thus the boiling down process
becomes less tedious than If more wa
ter were used.

Hands and Nails May
Be Kept in Condition

If a little sympathetic care and at
IGNITION are given to the hands and
nails at the end of a few months their
condition will show a great improve
ment
Cracked and split nails are often a
sign Ct i'll health. A nightly appIica-
ton of cold cream, however, often
helps to overcome this condition.
The hands should be immersed in
warm, soapy water for few moments.
Then with a soft piece of old linen or
silk press back the cuticle of each nail,
separately.
For Is minutes soak tips of the
fingers in soapy water. After taking
care of the cuticle apply the polish,
paste or powder. Powder should be
moistened with cologne before apply
ing. Next, take a piece Of coarse linen
cloth and before the polish has a
chance to dry rub the nails well. Then
finish by about ten minutes rubbing
with chamois buffer. This will give
a brilliant polish.
Lemon juice will give the nails the
much desired transparency, besides be-
ing good preventive for growing cuti-
Gle. Lemon juice also is splendid
whitener for the hands and keeps the
skin smooth. It is as cleansing as
soap and water. When household or
other duties make the hands rough and
dry lerGon juice should be used instead
Of soap and water.

A winter CONNECTION which is easily
made and not expensive is jellied
grapefruit, orange or lemon peel. Gift
boxes Of jellied peel make acceptable
remembrances. The peel has a place
as final touch of festivity to the din
ner and can be served appropriately
at any meal.
The following recipe was originated
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture:
JeIIied Grapefruit, Orange or Lemon
Peel.
ounces of peel
1 cupful graduated sugar for strip q
2-s cupful water for strip. or enough
to cover
Il teaspoonful salt
X cupful granulated sugar for rolling
strips (about ounces).
Thick, soft, unblemished peel from
smooth fruit should be selected. Light
colored grapefruit skins are best for
this purpose, since russell skins impart
a dingy shade. Orange skins may be
bright or pale in color, but should not
be russell or spotted
Cut Peel Into Strips.
Cut the peel into strips one-fourth
to one-half-inch wide, or into inch
squares, which are not easily handled.
Parboil three times, using one quart
Of cold water and boiling in a lightly
covered pan for one-half hour each
time, and discarding the water after
each cooking. The strips should then
be tender and must be handled gently
to prevent breaking.
Place the water, salt and sugar for
the strip in saucepan about six
inches in diameter at the top, and stir
until the sugar is dissolved; then add
the strips Of peel, arranging carefully
SO that they lie parallel to each other,
to prevent their being broken when
turned. Place the pan over the flame.
Cook the contents rapidly for about
twenty minutes, then reduce the heat
and continue to boil very gently for
about twenty minutes longer, or until

Metallic Brocade
for Evening Wear
Winsome Fabric Reveals
Suraptuousness When
Worn at Night.

The metallic brocades are extremely
smart this season, and they reveal
their beauty and sumptuousness when
worn at night On the other hand, OBJ
serves a fashion writer in the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer if one buys frock
with the idea Of making use of it
throughout the spring, one Of filmy
tulle or chiffon will give excellent serv-
Ice. Satin is making its appearance
as an evening fabric, white being es-
peeiaIly good.
And speaking Of colors, don't be
afraid to bus al evening frock in some
vivid shade such as rose, flame, jade
green, gold, japanese tangerine, am
Der, turquoise blue or silver. These
are the colors which are in vogue both
in brocades as well as in plain ma
terials.
AS regards necklines, the hateau
seems to have almost entirely disap-
peared. Even when the frock presents
this line across the front, the back
may be cut in deep V. The round
neck is used for dinner gowns and the
square neck is also returning to favor.
For the more extreme decolletage a
single shoulder strap is often used, the
other shoulder being bare or having
only a rhinestone ornament or floral
band. the front of the frock forming
diagonal effect.
1t seems strange that the vogue for
the Spanish or Chinese shawl which is
SO pronounced in New York as well as
in the fashion centers of the old world,
should not make itself felt everywhere.
1t plays such a prominent part abroad
in matters sartorial that returning
buyers prophesy a revival of the Span
ish influence both in modes and de-
signs for the coming spring. In the
East entire frocks are fashioned of

loomed brocades, filmed with rainbow

Sandman filet, hitherto used princi-
pally in fine luncheon sets, is seen
upon afternoon frocks. This use for
it is part of the wide vogue for laces
of every kind.
Wooden jeWelry is seen now and
then with frocks embroidered in Czech
or Russian designs. This wood is
smooth as satin, highly polished and
carved into remarkable designs.
Choker necklaces of huge pearls are
a renaissance of the choker neck or
naments so fashionable last season.
The big choker pearls have come in as
foils for the black velvet frock.
Egyptian aIlover embroidery is now
seen on swanky little short-coated
suits designed for winter resort wear.
In some cases quaint little Egyptian
faces peer out in the midst of lotus
buds and ancient religious symbols:
Uncut emeralds in dull gold setting

Her dress was of self-velvet in shade
that matched the misted green of her
jewels.
There is a fad for rather small taf-
feta wrist bags to be carried to the
opera. These perishably dainty things
in faint rose, lavender and pearly
white are just large enough to hold
fan, opera glasses, handkerchief and
powder box. They are long and mar

is answered by the three-piece suit.
Extremely simple and smart in line
when the coat is worn, it may take on
a decidedly elaborate aspect when the

a really beautiful one-piece frock or a
