) CORN FRITTERS ARE
RICH, SUBSTANTIAL

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.I
When the lunch or supper supplies
seem a trifle less hearty than usual, 1t
is a good time to have fritters, which
are rich and substantial-in fact, too
substantial to have in addition to 9TH
er foods on a heavy dinner menu.
With cold meat at any meal, they are
tasty and appetizing. Fritters may be
made of many materials, but are ex-
ira good when the basis is canned
corn. The recipe below is from the
bureau of home economics of the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture.
1H cups sifted soft 1 cup liquid, ell
wheat flour Their juice from
3 tsp baking DOW canned corn or
der milk, or the two
q tsp. salt mixed
cup drai ned egg
canned corn l tbs. melted rat
Mix the flour, baking powder, and
salt. Mix the juice from the canned
corn or milk. or whatever liquid is
used, the egg after it has been beaten
slightly, and the canned corn. Stir
this liquid mixture gradually into the
dry ingredients. Add the melted fat.
If the corn is very moist, even after
the liquid has been drained from it.
more flour may be needed. Dried corn
which has been soaked and cooked
until tender may also be used.
Fry the corn fritters in deep fat or.
if preferred, in a skillet in shallow
fat. In either case drop the mixture
by spoonfuls into the fat and fry rath-
er slowly. The fritters need time to
cook through to the center before the
outside becomes too brown. Drain the
fritters on absorbent paper and serve
hot.

butter, brown and graduated sugar,
two eggs. one teaspoonful each Of salt
and soda, one cupful of nutmeats, one
teaspoonful each Of almond and
vanilla extract and four and one
fourth cupfuls of flour. Cream the
butter, add the sugar, eggs and other
ingredients. Roll into two rolls and
let stand on cloth in pan placed in
the ice box. The cloth keeps the
dough from flattening and sticking to
the pan and thus losing its round
shape. Slice very thin, decorate with
half nut meat, raisin or cherry as
ones taste suggests.
Another food so much liked in all
our homes is fresh rolls. 1t takes
time to prepare light and crisp roll.
Here is a recipe which will keep for
a week or longer in the ice chest and
a pan of biscuits may be baked any
time one cares to serve them:

Rice Is Served With
Curried Dishes

A curry of vegetables is an East In
dian idea. Rice is always served with
curried dishes in the east. It is
cooked separately, so that it is dry
and fiaky. and placed in ring around
the other ingredients of the curry,
with the sauce poured over them so
that the flavor is well distributed. The
bureau of home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture says this vegetable curry is very
easy to make and quite delicious on
a cold winter night.
" cup rice tbs. butter or
1 cup diced onion other fat
1 cup diced carrots Y tsp. salt
1 cup diced celery u tsp. curry
cup fresh or tsp. worcester
canned peas shire sauce
Wash the rice and cook in two
quarts of boiling sailed water. Drain
in colander, pour cold water through,
and let stand over steam until the
grains swell and become separate.
Cook the vegetables In a small guam
tity of water and just before remov-
ing from the stove add the canned
peas, or if fresh peas are available,
cook them with the other vegetables.
Use the liquid from the vegetables
and add the fat, salt, curry and sauce.
On hot platter make ring of the
cooked rice. pile the vegetables in the
center. pour over them the liquid.

Did you ever try roast breast Of
lamb, stuffed with "forcemeat"?
Forcemeat is chefs name for WELL
seasoned mixture Of chopped meat,
bread crumbs. and vegetables, used
for stuffings of various kinds. The
bureau of home economics of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture gives the following directions for
preparing this cut so that all the de-
licious flavor of roast lamb is re-
tanned and the meat is tender. The
breast is one of the least expensive
cuts of lamb.
Select a breast of lamb, including
the foreshank, which will be used to
make the forcemeat stuffing. Have
the butcher crack the bones of the
breast so that it can be served be-
tween the ribs. Wipe the meat with

modes, designers are working the idea
for all 1t is worth.
The model pictured has been aptly
called a "double-date" dress for rea-
sons which are obvious. AS it stands
in the illustration it is ready to go
stepping to most any afternoon affair
from backgammon party to luncheon
here or there amidst smart environ

simply by removing the jacket, thus
rendering the gown sleeveless.
Note the graceful girdle. 1t is made
of shaded sheer velvet. In adjusting
the jacket one may or may not draw
this colorful sash through slots at the
side seams. The advantage in doing
so is that the jacket will not ''fiy
open" to the annoyance Of it's wearer
Then, too, it gives very charming
effect to tie the jacket down across
the front just as it is shown in the
picture.
The merit of sheer crepe such as
this bemberg type is becoming more
and more apparent. There is every
thing to recommend it, from the fact
of it being durable and practical at
the same time that it is flattering as
well as being sufficiently dressy for
festive occasion. With good reason
style creators are continuing to ex-
plot sheer frocks in solid colors such
as the model illustrated.
Quite few of the midseason dress
es of chiffon or sheer crepe are topped
with either lace, beaded or self-mate-
rial yokes, the latter usually in pale
pink or a delectable pastel tint or
pure white.
Speaking of the separate jacket, an
interesting outcome of the mode is the
solid-colored chiffon frock with a bo-
lero or novelty-cut jacket of lace In
matching color. A sleeveless sheer
gown, If it does not have a jacket of
self material, is almost sure to be
complemented with a bolero or eton

Manufacture of Sickles
Supports English Town

The sickle, one Of the oldest agri-
cultural implements in the world, Is
still in use in many countries. With
sickles Japan and Burma reap their
rice, sickles cut the pampas of South
America and various crops in Po-
land, New Zealand, the Fiji islands,
Peru, and hundred and one other
lands. A very large proportion Of the
worlds sickles are made in Conis-
borough, Yorkshire, England, which
turns out nearly $4,000 sickles every
week. Steel from Sheffield, only a
dozen miles distant, comes in in
strings a quarter of an
inch in width. These are sliced by
shearing machines into the proper
lengths, while other machines shape
them, bend them and perform the
preliminary processes. Then black
smiths. grinders, hafters and other
craftsmen give them their final edge.
The workers in this little town
are directly affected by happenings
in half the world. A good crop in
China means prosperity for them,
while revolution in South America
may spell short time.
