PLANNING A WEEKS FOOD

When selecting the different uyDes
of hot bread for Sunday morning
breakfast remember that you have
a considerable variety to choose
from. For instance this week we are
featuring fruit coffee cake. a varia-
tion of the old time apple cake and
one that is not only appetizing but
rich in food value.
In preparing chicken fricasse if
baking powder biscuits are used. as
in this case, bake the buscuits crisp
and brown; split them and arrange
in serving dish just before the
fricassee goes TO the table. If
steamed dumplings are preferred, use
q rich baking powder biscuit dough
made more than usually soft by the
addition of more milk. Drop by
spoonfuls on The solid portions Of
the stew so that each dumping will
rest on the meat and vegetables and
not settle into the liquid.
Homemade cream puffs offer OPP
portunity for quite n variety. AS a
change from ordinary cream filling
try a filling of homemade chocolate
ice cream. IHeSe ice cream puiIS are
especially popular with the children.
1t is scarcely necessary to empha-
size again the Importance of evolv-
ing new ways Of serving vegetables
that make up a vegetable plate or
dinner. To- make mashed potatoes
into little cakes or carrots into tim
bales or spinach into a souffle may
seem a simple matter. These simple
processes, however, will well repay
the time spent. Members OF the
family who can scarcely be prevailed
upon to eat vegetables may find
themselves asking for more
In serving roast pork not only
have we bFen careful to serve cab
bage, but other Winter vegetables as
well. The reason for this has been
told in previous articles. Pork is
one of the heavier, richer meats and
requires a generous supply of vege-
tables to balance it so far as aka
Unity IS concerned. The vegetables
also contribute body regulating ma
terial that helps digest the pork.

New STYLES of Bobs.

There are several advantages in
bobbed hair. If you have very dry
scalp or a lot of dandruff. you can
keep your scalp soaked with oil for
weeks at a time, which in the end will
cure you, and still wear your hair in
an attractive way. c. course, with
long hair that's not possible. But with
very short hair it makes little diff
ference.
Suppose your scalp is in bad condi-
tion and you must treat it. I'd sug-
gest that you rub it every other night
for a week-that is. three nights dur
ing the week-with hot olive oil or
with hot crude OIL Rub the oil into
the scalp, parting the hair and rub
hing along the partings. 1t is non
sense TO say that this treatment keeps
the hair itself from getting oily, be-
cause it doesn't, but it makes it less
oily than if you had put it on in a
haphazard fashion.
Here's a suggestion about that sur
face oiliness, too. When you've rubbed
the oil into the scalp, take thick old
towel, preferably a warm one, and rub
and rub the hair with it. 1t rubs off
a great deal of oil and keeps it from
staining your pillowcase. 1t rubs off
quite lot of dirt and makes the hair
shiny rather than oily and sticky.

TRAYS WERE FAVORITE ARTICLES WROUGHT SIIEF


The term Sheffield plate" is famil-
lar to every person who is interested
, in silVerware. Home-makerS are
proud to possess it, and rightly so. It
IS marvellous ware, that has always
Eeld high place in wrought silver,
since it was made in designs exactly
the same as those of solid silver, and
the method of fashioning pieces was
the same also.
There is vagueness about the un-
derstanding of just what Sheffield
plate ls. That is not surprising, since
ii takes a certain eXpertness to dis
cover whether articles are of it or
sterling. However, there are some
ways Of distinguishing pieces that
prove of interest to women who are
wishing to add to their household sill
verware.
1t is necessary to know just a little
of the methods of manufacture of
Sheffield plate first of all. It is not
plated ware in the modern acceptance
OF the term, and neither is it sterling,
because there is a foundation of cop
per and brass. 1t is the difference of
the metals prior to fashioning articles
that causes the distinction between it
and sterling.
Marvellous Discovery.
A method was discovered acci-
dentally in 1742 by one Thomas Bois-
over when he was mending a knife
handle whereby silver was fused to
the handle OF silver and brass, making
one solid piece of metal with the sill
yer layer uppermost. This proved to
be marvellous discovery in the silver
smiths craft. 1t was perfected prin-
cipally by man named Joseph Han
cock. The ware took it's name from
the place where it was originally made,
namely, Sheffield, England.
What Sheffield Plate Is.
It must be remembered that Shelf
field plate is of silver of even a higher
than standard grade at first laid over
and later put on both sides of sheets
of mixture Of copper and brass.
These sheets We're then handled pre-
cisely as if they were sterling. They
could be manipulated and beaten or
wrought" into vessels, trays and any
thing formerly made of solid silver.

Unique Ware.
1t is easy to see the position of
Sheffield plate is unique. 1t more
closely resembles sterling silver than
the modern plated ware in which
ready nodded articles of baser metals
are electrically given a uniform coat
ing Of silver in a liquid medium, the
quality determined by the repetitions
of plating. The most usual of these
are triple and quadrupIe plate.
Process Relinquished.
After the process of eIectro-plating
was discovered in 1887 it proved to
| have SO many advantages CONNER
cially and in the simplicity of the
work that the Sheffield plate process
was abandoned. Partly because this
process is not now used, and largely
because of the exquisite workman
| ship, the choice designs and the type
| Of craftsmanship found in Sheffield
plate it is in great demand. Articles
Of it frequently bring prices equal to
and sometimes even exceeding those
paid for modern sterling. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that those unac-
quainted with Sheffield plate are in
clined to believe it actually is sterling.
Distinguishing Traits.
When trying to detect distinguish
ing characteristics of Sheffield plate
you will find that it has a peculiar
color and texture caused by the eX-
trcme pressure used in the process,
and these are readily recognized by ex-
perts. 1t has occasional tinv lines
indicating junctures of embossed mo-
tifs with edges of silver strips, for
Sheffield plate was necessarily made in
strips. Electro-plated ware has a uni
form covering. The term Sheffield
plate is often misapplied to other
plated ware, but there is a definite
and decided difference. No modern
pieces are She.1eld, for the very good
reason that the making of Sheffield
plate, while by no means a lost art, is
nevertheless an art of the past.
