Travellers Find Odd
Foods Interesting

One of the incidental pleasures that
the traveller derives from going
about consists in the variety of food he
has served to him. Often the food itself
is not different, but it is served in
different manner or different COM
bination. You can secure variety at
your own table by occasionally trying
some of these foreign tricks:
For instance, in Holland they serve
stewed apricots-made by soaking and
cooking in water the dried sort-with
chicken and other birds 1t is pleas
ant change after our incessant cram
berry sauce.
In France they serve cream cheese
sprinkled with sugar. The result is de-
llcious, say those who eat 1t that way.
In Denmark they serve baked ONE
let with p hard sauce made by Dreaming
sugar ana butter together. And in some
sections ot Denmark they serve rich
cream on lettuce.
III Australia, am told, they eat hot
pancakes piled up, with mashed sweet
cncd fruit between them. The result
Is delicious when crushed Strawberries
are used in this way.
German cooks serve raisin sauce with
tongue. This is very good when spinach
is the accessory vegetable.
The Italian cook sets cornmeal mush
away to harden He then slices it as
we would for frying. But he dips 1t in
mixture of grated cheese md egg, and
then fries it. It makes = delicious

Chests Hold Treasures.

covers-in which to keep their things
out of the way of dust and disorder. In
some of the recently arranged period
bed rooms we find large chests placed at
the foot of the bed or against the side
of a wall, not so much because these
chests are needed to put things in, but
because they are in keeping with the
period chosen for the furniture.
In Elizabethan rooms or those fur
nished in old Spanish style, large, pom
derous chests of carved wood are often
seen.
All Of this reminds us that chests
really are most convenient, and that
even though we cannot afford, or do not
choose, to have a bed room furnished
in historic period furniture, we can well
make use of chest or two. They are
excellent places to store extra bedding
or supplies of undertakings that we do
not expect to use Immediately.
Then, too, a chest is an excellent
place to store personal treasures, old
letters, diaries, pieces of lace and other
choice materials that we do not wish to
use at once And there is the obvious
use of chests as places to store Winter
| clothes in Summer and Summer clothes
in Winter. The chosen place to stock
such chests is in a store room or attic
but in the small cottage or apartment,
where there is no such stowaway place,
the chest may be placed somewhere in
the. bed room.
An inexpensive and attractive sort of
chest may be made from a good sized
cardboard box with a cretonne case. If
you cannot get box of the size you
wish you may get heavy cardboard of
the sort used for large suit boxes and
fold 1t into shape so that the box will
open at the top with two flaps of the
cardboard that close down together in
the center of the box.
The cretonne cover may be made to
match the cretonne used for drapery or
upholstery or it may be simply chosen
to harmonic with the general color
scheme of the room. 1t should be cut
to make case that fits on easily over
the box-a piece the size of the base of
the box with four extensions that will
form the sides Of the box and flaps for
the top. Seam the material when it is
cut out SO that you have a seam at all
four corners Of the box at the sides and
finish this with q straight band of
matching or plain material to reinforce
the seams.
The extensions OF the side pieces at
left and right should be long enough to
come up and meet in the center of the
top Of the box and should be neatly
hemmed or bound Off The extension
of the front piece should be long enough
to reach the center of the box, while
the extension of the back piece should
be long enough to cover the entire top
of the box and flt down over the top.
The edges of this should be neatly
bound off and the flap should be finish
ed with large snapper top, the base of
the snapper being sewed to the front of
the front side cover

Fad for Use of Letters
Extends to Various
Articles of Clothing
and Other Things
Places Where They
Are Most Effective.

THE old fad for cutting your name in
trees has developed into q modern
mode of having your initials on all your
personal things.
You must look to your stationery,
your purses, hats. undertakings, party
frocks, jewelry, automobile doors, rid
ing crops, cigarette holders, breakfast
di hes, lampshedeS and many other
ng5 this coming season TO make sure
they are their snartest.
This being smart consists in having
an original slant to the initials, the
monogram or the given name:
Paris introduces the eutest little white
linen handkerchiefs with your name
written in them in diamonds or circles,
making quite effective designs that look
from the distance like modernistic
prints. These can be had in different
colorS, and most of the names that
have a vogue today can be obtained.
Or, of course, you can make your own.
But q monogram that lends itself to
making a figured motif is an especially
good one to have. Circles, diamonds,
triangular and other geometric t1gures
worked out of the initials of your name
are no mean achievement ana ado iot
of snap to your things. An ordinary
little linen fiocA, for instance, hand
embroidered with youn very own mono
gram, takes on the airs of much mere
expensive garment.
The newest undertakings prefer one OF
two ways of identifying themselves to
their owners-either they write your
given name in small, fine script en-
broidered over in 1elf-color, or else they
use rather fancy letters, perhaps your
two initials, instead Of all three.
The place to monogram your indies
is as follows: Nightgowns, up high on
the left shoulder; chemiSes, shirts and
slips, in the center front, and very
small; panties, at the lower right or

MOnograms Are Popular

left side above the fiounce, lace or
embroidered border.
Bathing suits this Summer set the
style for sweaters this Fall. You will
win laurels If you wear your initials
Smartly posed in decorative motif in
the front Always in contrasting color,
much in the manner that school letters
are put on.
Monogram clips and monograrns that
can be put on purses, bags, luggage,
nata and other articles are the newest
kinds of monogram jewels. Some jew
elry houses are using real diamonds,
pearls and other stones to make ex-
pensive clips that come in pairs, bear
your initials and can be used on slip
pers. together for a brooch, for a belt
buckle effect, shoulder decoration or
singly as hat ornament. You will find
less expensive limitations of these that
are really decorative and pretty
Tor Winter there is a new fad for
letters along the sleeve of your frock,
always the left sleeve, at the old-fash-
toned vaccination line. Sometimes, in
nautical manner, yellow linen sports
shirt or pink crepe blouse will have a
couple of lines of color under the mon
ogram, Stimulating the braid banding
that sailors sleeves bear
Probably the most original place to
have a monogram is illustrated by q
gray woe frock for Vail, made with a
cute little yoke from the collar to the
sleeves, forming cape sleeves, and tie
last initial is worn on both shoulders.

Picking Days.

Pickles in bottles bought at the store
ale delicious. Probably mora delicious,
on the whole, than those we make our
selves. But nevertheless We like to
make pickles. most of US. We have
our own recipes, some of them of long
family standing. And We like to use
them.
The woman who really likes to make
pickles can at very small expense pre-
pare a most interesting array for her
pantry shelves. Bottles and jars of the
most delicious dainties can be prepared
at small expense, for the markings for
pickles are usually cheap. Green toma-
toes and green peppers, mustard and
vinegar and spices can all be bought
reasonably. We can fill bottles and
bottles without breaking the family
bank.
We haven't the same reason our
ancestors had for preparing big supplies
of pickles, for nowadays we get good
variety Of all sorts of vegetables through
out the Winter. Nevertheless pickles
add much to the savorincss of Winter
eats. Almost any careful cook can make
them successfully.

Can we afford a cat?
Can we afford a maid?
Can we afford ORR ental rugs in the

Can we afford trip away from

These are some of the questions that
present themselves tb American fam
lilies all the time and very often it Is
up to the housewife hnd mother of the
house to decide the answer to the
question.
Very often the WY people go about
answering any of these questions Is 70
say: Our income Isl about equal to the
Smiths. They have q car, so why
shouldn't we?" or 1.-THE Smiths have
