slams from rocky stronghold on an
eminence between the termination of
Mount Washington and Kings Bridge.
Filled with a spirit of daring two of
our men sauntered forth from the fort
to smoke several Hessian sentries out
of their shelter. In the face Of brisk
fire from the musketry behind a rock
and field piece on a nearby hillock.
they made their way steadily forward
and were soon joined by a dozen of

Thereupon so of the Hessians main

that their position was desperate, our

that when a girl is grown up" is
not time enough" to wear dainty
clothes. There is a knack that is re-
quired In the wearing of finery that
with many young women cannot he
acquired overnight. French women
sometimes say that one reason why
English women do not dress so we'll
as they might is that they are so
often kept in the nursery and allowed
to wear only the most substantial sort
of clothes until they are ready to take
their part in society. Perhaps that
is unjust-perhaps 1t is only from the
prejudiced French point of view that
English women are not we'll dressed
anyway.
American women have been blamed
for overdressing their little girls
and that may be unjust, too. But one
thing certain is that whether or not
a little girl possesses by nature a
knack of wearing and caring for
dainty frocks, she has an innate and
very decided liking for pretty frocks

Nutrition Nuggets.

Don't forget vegetable hashes.
Hash made by meat is, of course,
delicious if properly done, but left
over bits of freshly cooked vegetables
are excellent in combina ton and rich
in food value. Celery and potato
hash offer a good example of this
type of dish. For every three or
four cold. boiled potatoes. allow
sufficient chopped and cooked celery
to make a savory hash. The moisture
may he supplied either by the water
in which the celery is cooked or
milk, or a combination Of both. 1t
takes only a little study to evolve
unusual and delicious combinations
in this group of foods.
Save all dripping. Bacon is good
for giving flavor to hash. for saute-
ing hash brown potatoes, and for
those who like the flavor, it is a
good appetizer to use in pea soup.
A little of the bacon fat is melted
and Drowned with enough -four to
make paste and this combination
is used to "hind" the soup. In any
of these uses, however. consider the
taste Of your family. TO some per-
sons the flavor of bacon or ham
fat used in this way is very distaste-
full. although perfectly wholesome.
Combine. raisens with your corn
meal porridge and YOU will have an
unusually attractive breakfast cereal.

Now that the season for more eX-
pensive eggs is at hand. plan your
baking with the idea of using one
whole egg where two egg yolks are
called for in the recipe. This gives
practically the same consistency and
Is decidedly more economical. Dishes
calling for even extra whites of eggs
are in themselves expensive.

When Fur Flies.

When fur flies 1t is inferior fur
either because of its poor felt or it's
poor dye. OF course. hard wear will
exact its toll from the best fur OBJ

First of all. don't buy your fur
coat this year by its trade name. For

natural sealskin or sealdyed musk

siderably more than the other. and
their wearing qualities are also in
variance.

Shark Furnishes Man

The old-fashioned shark is now be-
coming sought and respected on ac-
count Of the many uses which are be
ing found for his jacket and what he
contains. A considerable amount Of
"cod-liyer oil" is really shark-liyer oil,
and possesses medicinal properties of
the same character. Shark-fn soup is
appreciated by the Chinese. The eyes
Of the shark, after they have been
boiled, lose their outer covering, and
the residue becomes quite hard and
has sort of shifting light in its tex
ture. These are mounted on tie-pin or
other forms Of jewelry and present an
unusual appearance. A valuable part
of the man-eater is the skin. The thin
outer skin is removed and when dried
has a remarkable hardness, and is used
by cabinet-makers for giving polish to
hard woods ivory, and so on. The In
ner skin is tanned so carefully that
1t eventually yields a waterproof, non
cracking leather. Different parts of
the skin give differing shades of color,
and the tanning process succeeds in
these dark green's and
browns so that shoes, travelling bags,
purses, belts and similar articles made
of the skin have handsome appear
ance.
