Baked Custard

In a baked custard twice as much
egg is used to given measure Of milk
as in a soft custard 1t is cooked
without stirring in baking dish in
stead of in double boiler, and there
fore retains the soft jellied consist
ency which dlfferentiates 1t from soft
custard. Baked custard is done when
a knife dipped in 1t comes out clean.
A great variety of flavoring is pos
sible for custards. COMMERCIAL ex-
tracts may be added to soft custard
before serving or to the baked custard
before turning into the baking dish
Caramel may be added to the milk in
either case, or the custard may be
baked in a dish in which small
amount Of sugar has been caramelized
Chocolate should be melted and com
bined with the milk before pouring
over the egg. Fresh fruit, such as
bananas, oranges, or peaches; or dried
fruits, including dates, cooked prunes
or figs, may be served with either
type of custard as a means Of flavor
Custard should not be served on fresh
pineapple, which gives 1t an unpleas-
Ant. bitter taste.

stitch of floss. Extreme styles include
some unusual little costumes of sweet
ly tinted organdie or chiffon on which
a flower motif is painted, a rose or a
tiny nosegay. These are the prettiest
frocks imaginable, as delicate and
quaint as an ivory miniature.
The dressing of a young lady who
has grown to the stature when lines
and silhouette are important presents
more important problem. and much
compensation. For her there is larger
variety of material. of color and pat
tern, and the seasons market offers a
wealth of all these. especially in the
printed goods. The most striking nov
city in conception is the Ferronierre
design carried through all the fine
crepes and silks. These printed goods
illustrate an achievement in style and
grace and have an enduring artistic
appeal. The colors and combinations
are most original and are shown in so
many variants that frock of this fab
ric may be suitable for many differ
emf occasions.
The new chiffons present all the
charming colors now in vogue-per-

yellows and every tint that may be
found in a flower garden.

II Is a fascinating occupation, this
creating of costumes. with their
changes and variations, for the Junior
members of family. There is no
other having to do with dress and style
that makes such sharp demand upon
taste and energy. To meet the re-
qulrements of young aspirations and
preferences one must have magma
tlon, and that something that perhaps
only memory supplies, says a fashion
writer in the New York Times.
There is no more chic young person
today than the American baby from
her christening robe to her graduation
dress, and the ideal of each of these
and all of her wardrobe may usually
be traced to the atelier of some we'll
known Partisan couturiere. The span
across the ocean has been narrowing
as much for the younger as for the
full-grown butterfly, and Paris now
offers models for children's dress that
challenge the designers Of the world.
These styles for children, as trans
lated by American modistes, offer the
answer to every need. To begin with
the infant class. little frocks are to
be had in the fine cottons. These have
been introduced this season in imita-

Ribbons Making Demand

Ribbons that come and go, always
in themselves lovely, and holding I'M

peated demand for an important place
in styles. Their value, marketwise
depends always upon the prevailing
mode, which may or may not include
ribbon. But the artists of fabric q

SKILL IS REQUIRED
IN LAYING LINOLEUM
IF Work Is Not Done Prop.
erly 1t Is Liable to
Buckle and Crack.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Unlike most other floor coverings,
linoleum when once laid usually re-
mains undisturbed until 1t is worn
out; therefore particular care should
be taken In laying It, The floor un-
der 1t should be level, smooth, tight,
and dry. On rough floors linoleum
will wear unevenly, and moisture will
cause the burlap backing to deterior-
ate and may attract water bugs and
other household pests. Cement and
composition floors may need special
treatment before linoleum is laid, and
reliable dealers should be consulted
on this point.
: In cold weather linoleum should be
placed in warm room for at least 48
hours before it is unrolled. If this
precaution is not taken, the linoleum
is likely to crack, because cold makes
1t brittle.
To lay linoleum properly requires
some skill, and If the work is not
properly done it may buckle and
crack. Dealers can often give reliable
directions, or, If possible, it is well TO
employ trained worker who charges
by the square yard and brings with
him the needed tools and materials.
There are two ways of fastening
linoleum to wood foors-tacking and
cementing, states the United States
Department Of Agriculture. The first
is the simpler method, but by the Sec
ond the seams and edges are made
water-tight and the linoleum is said
to give longer service. First Of all,
the quarter-round holding along the
foot OF the Dashboard should be re-
running crosswise Of the floor boards
If possible. If it is to be tackled, the
strips should be fitted snugly together
along the seams but should not be
fastened for three or four weeks, for
linoleum usually expands when laid
on floor and if tackled down at once
Will buckle. To give plenty Of room
Tor this expansion it is a good plan to
trim back the edges next the base
board for one-fourth or one-half inch
or just enough so that the molding
will cover the edge. The moding
should then be nailed directly to the
Dashboard, leaving the linoleum free
to expand and to be trimmed more
next to the Dashboard If necessary.
The linoleum may be so perfectly held
In place that it will not need to be
tackled, but If 1t does, brads should be
set one-eighth to one-fourth inch from
the edge, about three to four inches
apart, and driven well below the sur.
face.
Linoleum may be cemented at the
seams and edges directly to a wood
floor or permanently cemented down
firmly over layer of deadening fell
paper that has itself been pasted t.
the floor. Some manufacturers anG
dealers furnish printed directions fol
this method. The cement used should
be waterproof and contain no silicatt
of soda (water glass;, because this ii

Certain Stones Which
Older Women Nav Wear

There are certain stones which suit
the older woman better than others.
Amethysts are lovely for white-haired,
blue-eyed women. Garnets are just
suited to the woman who would other
wise perhaps be colorless, as the
Springfield Republican expresses it.
There is a warmth about garnets that
makes them especially nice for the
older woman of neutral coloring. Onyx
has more life than jet. Aquamarines
set in gold are also suitable for an
older woman Pearls are soft and be-
coming TO most women, though there
are some who will look better, per-
haps, in the gray pearls which are so
much worn at present.
The cloudy amber which has grown
warm with age is the kind which be-
longs to the woman whose blonde hair
is touched with gray.

Vegetable and Cereal
Loaf Very Substantial

For lunch or supper, or for any meal
where a somewhat unusual dish is
wanted, vegetable loaf may be used.
Made according to the recipe below,
the loaf will contain rice or some other
cereal, and eggs, so that 1t will be
quite substantial. The recipe was
worked out by the bureau of home
economics, United States Department
Of Agriculture, in the course of recent
experiments In vegetable cookery.
These experiments were aimed at de-
yeloping ways Of cooking ordinary
vegetables to conserve the mineral con-
stituents and vitamins, and also In
cluded finding acceptable combinations
Of vegetables which might vary the
menu.

CHIC SUITS FOR THE BEACH;
MODES FOR YOUNG GIRL

IN A summer of gay apparel one
would expect beach and bathing
suits to outstrip all others In audacity
of color and design and among them
there are many that are wildly col
ored. But they are outnumbered by
suits made up in black or dark blue,
with touches of bright color in pipings
or bands. There is considerable variety
In design and much diversity in mate

entitled to 1t. Anyway, members of the
youthful Partisan smart set, as rep
resented in the Bots, are wearing the
most fetching coats that ever revealed
the genius of the French. Little
children usually seem all legs-their
coats and frocks are so brief, rarely
reaching to the knees. In the early
part of the season stockings that are
rolled just below the knees are worn,
but in warmer weather these will
dwindle to short sox.
For their youngsters pretty coats
the French are using flannel. duvetine,
poplin broadcloth and similar light
weight materials. They choose attrac-
tive colors-rose, green, blue, salmon

For the evening the tendency to

woman can face the vagarieS of
fashion until autumn. secure in the
knowledge that she has a slipper, to
wear with every possible dress.
The plain slipper of satin or lacquer
kid is sometimes worn unadorned. even
at night, though it is more often en-
riched by handsome buckle. Small
crescents sometimes outline just the
decoletage of the slipper. Made in
pearls and strass, they are effective
and welcome change from the con-
ventiona rhinestone or paste buckle.
The sandal is a possibility at night.
1t is often made with a center tongue
narrowing toward the ankle, where il
is caught into a narrow bracelet strap
that fastens at the side in an imper-
ceptible button and buttonhole.
Gold or jeweled heels, or those that
match the gown or a part of its trim

1t a point to express the ensemble
theme in every detail of dress. A
pretty fashion is slipper of finely
woven gold lacquer kid and silk. so
fine that it looks almost like a fabric

it will be seen that kid of an infinitesi-
