FauOrite Recipes of
Prominent Women
BY EDNA N. CoLMAN.
Soft Shell Crabs.
MRS. MARY LOGAN TUCKER,
Daughter Of Gen. LoHaa.

Since girlhood Mrs. Mary Logan
Tucker. daughter OF the famous CvIi
War general. John A. Logan, has
worked enthusiastically for every
project that had the benefit OF the
Grand Army Of the Republic for its
incentive.
After her fathers death Mrs.
tucker was the companion and aide
to her gifted mother in her literary,
civic. patriotic and political activi-
ties and her faithful ally in all OF
her social and official duties Mrs.
Tucker Is naturally one OF the best
Informed authorities on Washington
City and its people as her parents
knew 1t during and Immediately fol-
lowing the period of the Civil war.
She also assisted her mother in her
great volume of correspondence and
in assembling and compiling data for
her books.
She is president Of the Danes of the
Loyal Legion, but 1t is in the role of
charming and gracious hostess that
she acQuits herself most attractively.
To many housekeepers the use of
soft shell crabs is frauEht with con-
Icern and uneasiness. Mrs Tucker
says she learned to cook them from
a distinguished cavalry officer.
Before frying soft-shell crabs put
them while alive and lively into q
Largo baking pan filled with milk.
After they have feAsted upon the
milk clean them carefully or have
1t done Just as short a time before
oookin as possible. II they are to
Be- cleaned at home remove the
spongy substance lying Just under
tho shell and take out the small
pointed section of the undersheil
called the apron. Wipe carefully
with clean. damp cloth and, IL de-
sired. they may then be allowed to
stand for an hour in milk to which
two eggs and one and one-half cup
fuls of milk to every six crabs is
allowed. 1t will be found that most
Of the milk will be absorbed. This
makes them much more juicy and
tender. and they may be put into it
before or after being prepared for the
pan, rs the cook prefers. Fry in hot
lard or butter.

Whv Raise Mosquitoes?

One of the greatest obstacles in the
way of the health education OF the
plain people is the fact that the plain
people already know so many things
which amt so. This Billings COM
plant is a great deal more serious
than the victims of it realize, for it
keeps them languishing in state of
;nisinformation which very OFTEN
means needless suffering. Take mos
uuitoes about the place. What lot
of plain people still think these pests
are unavoidable, that the mosquitoes
develop in the weeds, under the
bushes and in the tall grass abou.
nearby neglected yards, or even in
the cool shade of well kept hedges
dooryard! Surely they have been
taught differently-but that's the dis
couraging thing about Billings COM
plant. it's SO very, very difficult for
the victims to unlearn what they
know.
People with very bad cases of
Billings complaint find doctors an
unsatisfactory source Of casual o.
curbstone advice. 1t seems the peo-
rIe build up problems out of their
own understanding-wh Is all
wrong-and the doctors are too bored
TO attempt to tell it all over again,
and so they let it go or hem and haw
their way out of it the best they can.
This mosquito business now. 1t isn't
worth while trying to tell folks with
Billings complaint that the mosquitoes
do not breed under the bushes or in
the tall grass. for they know better
and only feel sorry for your ig-
norance.
The mosquitoes are partly to blame
themselves, for they certainly do like
to congregate in cool. moist. dark
places, in the shade Of the barberry
bush, where they exchange tales of
the chase and pick their teeth and
get tips on the lay Of the game. But
80 far IS any multiplication is con-
cerned mosquitoes can breed only in
standing water, an danything from
an obstructed cave to a cow track or
q discarded tomato can will do to hold
the water. If the tall grass, the
bushes or hedges are used as a
cover for discarded junk, mosquitoes
may breed there just as well as
they do In the rain barrel or foun-
tain or pond or sheltered creek. Clean
up these breeding places and the
mosquitoes viii disappear.

will wear we'll if you are careful not
to get it wet.
You will often see artificial silks
in the forms of part silk" goods. as
they are called. Sometimes such silk
is handsomely embroidered. or has
stripes, figures or patterns that make
it especially apropos for draperies.
Then. as for dress materials. al
though you cannot find a good strong
fabric for dressmaking which is
woven of artificial silk alone, you can
easily find satisfactory materials
made of the artificial silk with a cot
ton warp; and the high luSter OF this
silk is extremely effective in the cot
ton. Or, you can get knitted material
altogether of the artificial silk which
is quite satisfactory.
On the ribbon counter. too. you will
see artificial silks. There are many
ribbons of satin weave in which the
warp is of cotton. and the long
threads Of fiber silk. A gauzy, me-
tallic-looking material made OF -arti-
fetal silk is lovely, too, and it is
especially attractive in the light,
summary shades.
Artificial silks wear satisfactorily.
provided you do not subject them to
handle them carefully as you wash
and iron them. They are being con-
tinually experimental upon. and are
coming more and more into popular
favor.

TopcOats for the House Guests
ny MARY MARSHALL.

'The young girls OF today travel
with the least possible luggage-and
the hostess does the rest" The
woman who thus spoke has q charm
ing country home. two bachelor sons.
a daughter or two. a comfortable in
come and q soul OF hospitality that
keeps her guest rooms filled from the
first of June to the week that colleges
and schools open In the Autumn.
They wouldn't think of bringing
toothbrushes or toothpaste. soap or
wash cloths, and usually don't bother
with brushes or combs. They do bring
their own rouge and powder for fear
you won't provide the brand they
prefer. The hostess of today provides
a fresh toothbrush in a sealed pack
age for every guest, and is ready to
supply almost any accessory that a
guest might wish.
II send my maid to help the girls
unpack or to see what is needed. and
oftener than not ] have to provide
bathrObe, neglige and pajamas. So
We always keep a fresh supply on
hand so that there may always be
enough for unexpected guests.
"Raincoats, umbrellas. rubbers, top
coats-such things-of course, the
girls never think of bringing. Nova
days every country house has to be
supplied with quite a variety of
wraps-mens overcoats and girls
coats-needed for motoring, boating
and other Summer pastimes." So
spoke this hospitable woman whose
house is always full of young fry.
One woman | know who hasn't SO
much money to spend for the COM
fort of her guests almost never dis
cards coat. When it is no longer
needed by members of the family she
sends it off to the cleaner, has it
mended and then leaves 1t in the coat
closet on the first floor. 1t Is ready
then for motor parties and boat
parties.
There are some topcoats that just
seem fitted for such a career of hos
pitality. coats that seem to invite
owners of country houses to buy
them to keep on hand for guests in
sufficiently clad. The sketch shows
one of these ideal sport coats-one
that may be worn on any and every
sports occasion. 1t is of rough wool
plaid in two shades of brown with a
collar that may be turned up when
needed or rolled down in warmer
weather.

you will have little trouble. Eyes that
are well treated are bound to be bright

Rubbing the lashes with oil will do

What TodayMeans to You
Leo.
NJ NARY BLAKE.

Today's aspects are fair, although
rather unfavorable for any radical
departure or untried experiment.. The
signs indicate that it is a good op-
portunity for disposinE of matters
that have been carefully studied, but
on which no definite action has as
yet been taken. The vibrations also
favor the adjustment of personal dis
putes and MISUNDERSTANDING.
A child born today will, while
healthy and vigorous, be very pre-
cocioua As infant abnormalities often
develop into adult mediocritieS. care
must be taken that this child's mental
forwardness is not allowed to
jeopardize character fundamentals.
Precociousness, although a stimulant
to, is never a substitute for solid
learning. It should be compelled to
associate in early childhood with
normal playmates Of its own age and
made to spend as much time as possi-
BILE in outdoor recreations-
II today is your birthday you pos
sess a basically reliable character, a
keen perception and inordinate self
confidence. This latter trait Is not
displayed in any verbal trumpeting of
your own abilities, but Is shown in
your criticism Of others efforts and
indiscriminate fault finding.
A woman may have many faults,
but the one most dfmcu1t to condone
is "nagKing." and unless you pull
yourself up With a jerk you will soon
b . graduate Of this class. You a1e
not 70 perfect as to warrant your
criticising Others nor does your sex
give you this pre1ogative or extend
you this privilege. F1Y better would
1t be to use the many charms you
possess and to exercise tolerance and
forbeafance, so that life may be made
happy for you and for those around
Men can be forgiven seventy times
seven." but the unpardonable sin is
never ending fault finding and per-
petual knocking. You rarely can
summon UP courage to give praise
where it is due-you think this .
sign Of weakness; you are neither
tolerant nor Just. Even when some
effort compels your commendation
you generally damn it with faint
praise"
conceit is tho mainspring of fault
finding in either mon or women, as
by implication it Is inferred that the
criticiser claims superiority over the
criticised.

HOW TT STARTED
The Typewriter.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

A00 AypCwAASSAs
1t is difncult to imagine how mod
ern business would be conducted If
the typewriter were unknown. Indeed
dependence on the little machine now
extends outside the realm Of business.
The Queen OF Rumania, for instance,
never travels without her typewriter,
and Is known to have said that she
does not know what she would do
without 1t.
Yet only . half-century ago people
had to do without 1t. For the type
writer Is just 50 years old. Il halls
from the town OF Ilion, Hefkimer
County. N. Y. whore it made its first
appearance in the Fall Of 1sf3.
The Ar ut American patent on . type
writer was granted in 1899 to will
liam Burt Of Detroit. when \ con-
temporary Newspaper called his prod
uct "a simple. cheap and pretty ma
chine for printing letterA" Unfor-
tunately the model was destroyed In
a Patent ONCE fre in 1S3e.
Subsequently, beginning in the Sos.
several attempts were made to pro-
duce a typewriter, but not until 1857
did the inventors Of the modern ma
chine begin their lAbors. They were
Carlos Glidden. an inventor: Samuel
w. Soule, a printer. and picturesque
Christopher Latham Sholea journal
ist, State senator and At various
times in his life q millionaire. 1t waS
Sholes who gave tho machine itS
name Of "typc-writer.'
Like so many other important
achievements this invention grow out
Of a passing circumstance. 1t was
while Soule and Sholes were 1T work
on a machine for mum bering serially
the pages Of blank books that Glidden
remarked. Why cannot such 3 ma
chine be made that will write letters
and words and not figures only?"
The result was "a crude affair In
every way" but 1t wrote accurately
and rapidly. Improvement and devel-
opment followed. Early in the sos
the typewriter had established ttoelf
in almost every country in Europe.

Attractive Eyes.

n the eyes are healthy and rested
they will be attractive. l do not think
that any woman of ordinary intelli-
gence and good nature can have un-
attractive eyes. Size, shape and color
count little against brightness and
expression.
Let us consider the cures of some
ordinary eye troubles. Dark circles, for
instance. which come under the eyes; by
making a shadow in the wrong position
they completely destroy their beauty.
These circles are due to fatigue, ineuf-
ficient sleep or to some rundown condi-
tion. These are troubles to take to a
doctor, unless lack of sleep is due only
to keeping late hours. Conjunctivltis,
which means that the lids are red or
swollen, is sometimes due only to ex-
posure, to dust or strong wind, some
times to eyestrain, sometimes to a cold
in tho head. II it is from some other
cause better see a doctor or an oculist
