Boiled Dinner.

Select a good piece of corn beef
weighing four pounds and cover it
with four quarts Of cold water. Allow
the water to come to the boiling point
and then discard it. Cover the meat
again with four more quarts Of water
and let 1t simmer until tender. Take
the meat out of the water. If the
liquid Is too salty, pour off part Of it
and add sufficient fresh water to have
at least three pints of well favored
broth. The vegetables should be
added at different times, depending
upon the time needed to cook them
tender. First add three large, onions
cut in halves; then, 20 minutes later,
two large turnips cut in quarters,
three parsnips, five medium sized car
rots cut in halves, and three large
potatoes cut in halves or quarters.
Fifteen minutes before these vege-
tables are done add one-half head
Of a medium sized cabbage cut in
eighths after being washed. Serve the
boiled dinner on a large platter with
the meat In the center and the vege-
tables drained and placed neatly
around 1t. The advantage Of this
method of cooking is to have the
vegetables tender and yet not over
cooked, as is sometimes the case with
q boiled dinner

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

"Come baby; lie down like a little
lamb, and go to sleep" And baby with
that idea in mind, obediently initiates
the little lamb and lies quietly, WOO
ing sleep.
Children stalk about rigidly, in imi-
tation of a straight.spined father, and
beholders say admiringly: isn't he
lust like his father" Enough of this
admiration and the boy becomes a
small pattern of his dad.
All through life we are uncon-
sciously holding a pattern before us
and trying to be like lit. Only think
Of the young ladies who ate delicately
and tainted easily in imitation OF their
Laura Jean Libby aristocrattc hero
ines. For heroes may be fiction or
real; so long as they capture our Inn
agination and make us long to be like
them.
Mother unconsciously provides the
model when she tells the child to be
like lamb. She just as unconsciously
and far more effectively furnishes him
with a less exemplary pattern when
she shrieks at him for misbehaving;
gossips about her neighbors or quar-
rels with his father. She has only
herself to blame, if he follows these
patterns instead of the ones she tells
him to initiate. 1t never pays to say
one thing and then do something else
Children are rabid hero-worshipers.
Sometimes their heroes are the ones
we would least like to have them imi.
tate. Perhaps timi laddy is awed
into profound admiration of the bad,
bold boy who rules the gang on his
street and whose escapades are the
subject Of much Mortified neighbor-
hood gossip. Son doesn't think of
him as bad. He admires and envies
E the attention he receives and he is
emboldened to go out and get some
like it.
What a lot OF good we would do IL
we would just ignore the escapades
and throy the limelight unobtrusive
Iy on good behavior. Most children
instinctively dislike ''goody" children.
But good children have characteristics;
bravery, modesty, good-sportsmanship
that all children want to emulate.
Conduct which is outstanding is al
ways easier to initiate than conduct
which is restrained. 1t Is easier to
initiate the loud and staggering per-
son than the quiet and modest one.
But one has to be on guard constantly
80 that the more obvious models do
not blot out the more desirable ones.

Sprinkle Your Coal.

Many people have their coal thor.
ougly sprinkled before it is dumped
into the bin. This is done not only
because it lays the dust. but because
a certain amount of moisture in the
coal gives the gases liberated by the
burning fuel more of chance to
throw off the maximum amount of
heat. The fact that there is gas to be
burned in the furnace is something
many people seem to lose sight of.
They are careful of gas and realize
that it gives heat when it comes to
them through pipes to their gas stove,
but they stoke their furnaces as If
they were burning only coal.

Attractive Made-Over FrOcks
BY MARY MARSHALL.

| satisfactorily made for us outside our
| own homes.
The great advantage of the ready.
made dress is that you can see 1t be-
| fore you buy it-and you can get 1t
| when you want it.
Still the custom Of buying clothes
| ready-made has induced many women
to neglect the gentle art of home
dressma king entirely-and with 1t the
trick of making over last seasons
clothes. And made-over clothes, I am
convinced, ought still to play an inn
portant role in the wardrobes of all
women in moderate circumstances.
Made-over frocks, like entrees made
from leftover meats. are frequently
most attractive-better sometimes
than the originals.
SO for the sake of dressing your
best for what you have to spend, let
me beg Of You to develop your skill
as an amateur dressmaker to the eX-
tent of making over some at least OF
YOUR old clothes. And just because.
after you have ripped up and cleaned
the material of an old frock sou don't
find enough to make into something
new. don't be discouraged. Many of
the smartest of the new frocks are
made with two materials of different
color or shades. The chances are that
YOU cannot match the old material
perfectly, so don't try to match 1t at
all Get material of an entirely diff
ferent color or tone and make com
pose frock. Recently l saw little
frock that quite took my eye. 1t is
sketched for you today.
It occurred to me that this would
furnish an excellent model for frock
made from material salvaged from
last seasons wardrobe. Too often the
home dressmaker tries to make the
old material do by skimping or by
covering up awkward piecings by per-
fectly polntless trimming. Better
make a virtue of necessity, 1t seems to
me. and make a virtue of necessity
by piecing the old material with the
new by means of an ornamental fag-
oting stitch.
II YOU are interested in this prob
lem of making over your old frocks,
send me a stamped, self'addressed en-.
yelope and I will send you diagram OF
the fagoting, with directions for
making.

which attaches itself somehow to all

treatment of the room, which is fur

Fortunately, the wrecking company
had saved the odd little half-moon
