SEASONABLE RECIPES

Chestnut Patties.-After boiling and
blanching q pint of chestnuis, add
One-half cupful of cream to two
rounded tableSpoonfuls of butter one
and one-half cupfuls OF milk, two we'll
beaten eggs, one-fourth cupful of
sugar and salt to season. Pour into
patty tins and bake quickly.
Marrons Glace.-We find these now
in our best shops and they are we'll
worth the price asked for them:
Shell and blanch the nuts and thor
oughly dry them. Boil until not too
tender. When cool insert a toothpick
in each nut. To make the glace put
one pound of granulated sugar and
one scant cupful of water in sauce
pan and let stand until the sugar is
dissolved. Set over the heat where it
may boil without stirring or jarring.
When bubbles begin to look heavy,
drop a teaspoonful of the strip into
a cupful of cold water. If it is brittle
and makes clicking sound, add two
tahlespoonfuls of vinegar and lift at
once from the fire. Set the pan in hot
water and dip the chestnuts one by
one into the sirup. Remove the
toothpicks and place on oiled paper
to harden. If the glace is not good,
dip again.
When lamb steaks are casseroled,
make a bed of vegetables such as
peas, carrots, parsnip or turnip un-
derneath. Put the steak well Drowned
on top, sprinkling well with minced
onion and celery; afterward pour
over the gravy, thickened.
Chicken is delicious served en- cas-
serole with mushrooms and potatoes.
A dash of onion and green pepper also
improves the chicken, veal or rabbit.
Beef Tongue en- casserole.-Take a
tongue which has been lightly corned,
boil it after trimming well. Then re-
move the skin and rub with -four to
which has been added a dash of gin
ger and allspice. Fry an onion
(sliced) in salt pork, then put in the
tongue, tying it into shape. Fry
lightly, browning it ON all sides.
Make cupful of gravy, adding the
juice of lemon, three tablespoonful
of shredded almonds, and one-half
cupful of seeded raisins. Put the
tongue into round casserole, pour
the gravy over it and bake one-half
hour in moderate oven. Unite the
meat, turn on a chop plate and serve
with the gravy poured over it.
Lemon added to honey-dew melon
brings out it's flavor to perfection. 1t
is usually served with honey-dew in
most hotels.

tablespoonful of butter into frying
pan, add one tablespoonful of flour
and mix until smooth and brown, then
add cupful of the stock in which the
nuts were cooked, stir until smooth,
add salt and pepper to taste, pour
over the chestnuts and serve.
Sweet Picked Chestnuts-This is
a delicious condiment: Take seven
pounds of chestnuts from which the
shells and skins have been removed,
to three pounds of sugar. Pack the
uncooked chestnuts in jars. Boil the
sugar in sufficient vinegar to fill the
Jars, making allowance for waste in
boiling. If the vinegar is very strong
dilute it with little water. When
the sugar and vinegar have come to a
boil, pour over the chestnuts and let
stand twenty-four hours. Repeat this
for three days.

THE SEWING
CORNER
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculturel

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
While it is not always possible to
devote an entire room especially to
sewing, during the period in the fall
and spring when sewing is done in
many homes, on an extensive scale,
it is a good idea to arrange at least
corner of q convenient room for this
work. There should be good light,
to begin with, and space enough
should be planned so that partly fin
ished garments on the dress form or
on hangers may be left as they are
from one sewing period to the next.
Having a nearby closet with plenty of
shelves, or roomy chest of draw
ers in which to keep materials, find
ings and incomplete work also is an
aid to orderly and rapid dressmaking.
All sewing tools, including the sew
ing machine, should be in good order
before the beginning of that busy sea-
son just preceding the opening of
school and college. Some of the sup
plies to be checked up are: Sharp
scissors, accurate tape line, plenty of
pins, needles, threads and sewing silk
of different sizes and colors, snappers,
hooks and eyes, elastic, tape, dress
shields, betting, bias bindings and
other materials you are in the habit
of using. If you are making any
underwear requiring buttons, keep
supply of common size on hand. Pro-

When ready to turn up the hem it
helps to place the dress on a form
on table, so that the filter can
measure the distance accurately to
the level surface of the table. If a
dress is to have a belt, tape-line or
other means of confirming the waist
fulness it should be correctly placed on
the form before measurements from
the floor are begun, or the finished
dress will be shorter than was in
tended and possibly uneven. A rigid
skirt gauge is help, either one made
especially for the purpose or ruler.
but not tape measure. The height
of the skirt from the floor is partly a
matter of the height, weight and fig
ure of the person who is to wear the
garment and partly matter of the
seasons styles.
Basting, Stitching and Pressing.
Accurate basting and stitching and
careful pressing are essential in a
well-fitted garment. Stitching must
follow near enough to the line of bast-
ing that the size of the garment will
not be altered. Press each seam as
it is finished, especially when work
ing with silk or wool materials. One
final pressing will not produce the
same results. Turn the shoulder and
underarm seams toward the front if
they are not pressed open. Turn the
armhole seam and shoulder darts to-
ward the neck. Many other fine points
about fitting and making a dress will
be found in Farmers Bulletin 1530-F.

The points on which attention is
conferred in fitting one-piece dress
are the shoulders the under-arm
seams, the sleeves, the neck, and the
hemline. Any decorative features
must be planned with care so that they
are of the right size to harmonic with
the entire costume and the build of
the wearer, and they must be located
with reference to the other lines of
the garment as we'll as to their use.
For example, the length of the front
opening, or the depth of set-in plated
sections, or the size and position of
pockets, are matters to be decided for
each individual.
Shoulder Seam Acts as Anchor.
A properly placed shoulder seam
acts as an anchor to a well-ftted gar
ment, says the bureau of home eco
Monies. 1t influences the set of the
waist and sleeves and the hang of
the skirt. Therefore it should be To-
Gated most carefully, and the Shout
ders should be the first part fitted.
The under-arm seam in One-piece
dress should be perpendicular to the
floor. If it Tits backward or for
ward, the back or the front of the
dress will swing out correspondingly
at the bottom. Sometimes this defect
is corrected by taking darts in the
front section below the armseye and
at the hip line, and sometimes it may
be necessary to raise the back of the
dress at the shoulders and trim out
the armhole, rather than to turn up
the hem at points where the bottom
seems to sag.

Picked Reefs

Picked beets, which contain a high
proportion of vinegar, are easy to can
and may be processed in the water
bath Gamer. For picking, select
young tender beets of uniform size;
cook and peel them, and pack in
mixture of hot vinegar and brown
sugar in the containers. Process the
picked beets in the water bath for
so minutes. Beets canned without
vinegar should be processed in the

Making Corned Beef Hash

A good many people do not know
exactly how to make an appetizing
corned beef hash. There are several
"tricks" to it, according to the bureau
of home economies. One is having
about equal amounts of cooked meat
and potato. Another is in grinding
the meat and potato together. A third
point is in flavoring with a little
minced onion and a dash of cayenne
pepper for piquancy. Generally there
is enough salt in corned beef to sea-
son the mixture.

IF THERE is one thing more than
j another that the present styles ex-
Gel in, it is color Interpretation. Es-
pecially are the new woolens enchant-
ingly colorful. Bordered fabrics which
feature ombre stripes are among the
enticing weaves which court favor for
daytime modes.
A very charming adaptation of ON
bre-striped wool poplin is presented
in this illustration. In this two-piece
model the shadow stripes are arranged
so as to border the blouse about the
hips, and the skirt at the hemline.
The sleeve is also prettily trimmed
with stripes and the tie of self-mate-
rial carries the color scheme also. The
solid portion of the original frock here
pictured is beige, the bordering car
ried out in tones of brown. This at
tractive material is also featured in
beige with green stripping.
The two-piece styling is becoming
almost standardized for sportswear.

ROBBERS ESCAPE
IN BULLET rain
Believed to Be Slayers Of Officer
Hollis

Dedham, Mass, Oct. S UP)-
Two safe crackers early today made
three breaks here and escaped after
gun battle with Patrolman Archi-
bald Campbell.
The men are believed those who
murdered Reserve Patrolman Alfred
y. Hollis during an attempted burg
larry IN Quincy and entered several
places early yesterday in Norwood.
While passing the yards of the
Dedham Lumber Co, about 2 a, m,
on his regular round, Campbell was
attracted by light in the office of the
company. Drawing his revolver, he
started across the yard to investi-
gate. AS he did so. two men, ap-
parentlv hearing him, came dashing
out of the office.
One of them fired several shots
from an automatic but none took
effect and Campbell returned their
fire but his shots went wide Of the
fleeing men.
The burglars started down the
tracks of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad toward East
Dedham, Campbell in pursuit, then
turned off and disappeared in the
Eastern avenue swamp where dark
hess prevented the officer from
tracing them.
Campbell then returned to the
police station and Chief Warren c.
Cotty called out tho entire force to
search the town.
Investigation revealed that the
yeggs had succeeded in knocking the
combination off the lumber com
pany's safe when they were inter
rupted. They had entered by fore
ing a window.
Earlier, the burglars had entered
the shop OF Alonzo w. wilmington,
carpenter. where they obtained a
sledge hammer and chisel
They then crossed the street to the
Fisher Churchill Coal Co. where
the forced a window and entered.
Apparently finding the safe here of
more sturdy construction than the
others, they gave UP and went over
to the lumb-r office. The Fisher
Churchill safe was denied and scar
red by the chisel.
About the window sill, police
found a. number of fingerprints.
These will be examined today by
Lieutenant Avery of the Quincy po-
lice.
Campbell described the men as
both short and underweight. One
was dressed in raincoat and the
other had no cap. This seems to
jibe with descriptions of the men
sought for the Quincy murder.

WILSON R|D|CULED
IN english DIARY
Biography, Recently Published,
Alleges War Scandal

New York, Oct. 6 P-President
Wilson was called that ass" and
the civil and military chiefs of the
allied nations are classified as
fools" in extracts Of the diary of
the late Field Marshal Sir Henry
Wilson. The extracts appear in the
biography Of Sir Henry, written by
Major General Sir C. f. Caldwell and
published today by Charles Scrib-
ners Sons.
The writings of the British field
marshal rail with bitter sarcasm
against Wilson and the league of ma
tons and state that General Perish
ing himself openly rdiculed the
league of peace.
The book gives a picture OF the
war years and portrays the mar
shals life to the day in June, 1922,
when he was ASA ssinated on the
doorstep of his London home by
two Sim Feiners.
"1f President Wilson has any
sense he will go back to America as
soon as he cam the field marshal
wrote of the meeting at the Qua
D'Orsay in 1919. To-day Wilson was
rather tiresome and Lloyd George
was asleep"
Il was introduced to President
Wilson and had a ten minutes
talk" he goes on. He did not i'm
press me In the least" and he added
the prediction that Wilson would be
discredited.
He attributes his failure to be
made CHIEF Of staff to a remark he
made to Premier Asquith. Asquith
had Observed:
Strange, isn't It, that this war
has produced no great general"
NO, nor any statesman. either"
retorted Sir Henry
