One of the more delicious ways
of cooking them is to have them
split down the back, brushed with
butter and cooked for about 80
minutes under the broiler, basting
and turning constantly. The heat
cooks them quickly and gives them
fine nutty flavor.
The broilers can also be stuffed
and baked. Mushroom Stuffing is
suitable stuffing for the halves
of chicken. The stuffing also in
creases the number of servings and
makes them more moist.
The halves of chicken should
then be placed on a rack in the
roasting pan and baked in a hot
oven. The time will vary with the
size of the chicken.
The halves of a chicken weigh
ing one and one-half pounds should
cook in 40 minutes. Cook them
with the stuffed side of the chicken
down and haste every Is minutes
with melted butter or salad oil.
The halves of the chicken can
also be reunited after Stuffing and
roasted as a whole chicken. In this
case the time of cooking should be
increased to go minutes and the
temperature of the oven should be
lowered to $50 degrees.

CAPE AND JACKET OF LACE FOR EVENING

WITH A CAPE or bolero
of lace, any simple evening
gown becomes a vision OF
summer formality, and here
are of the loveliest separate
toppers we have found. The
wide loose cape Of black
Chantilly lace makes a per-
feet summer evening wrap.
It has an epaulet effect on
each shoulder which gives the
desirable width, and it will be
lovely over a gown of nearly
any color or white. The lace
bolero will be grand over a
simple crepe in any color, and
it is fairly informal, as it is
of starched cotton lace. It is
brief and simple, though the
lace is in a dressy pattern,
which gives an air of for
mality. Best of all, it is not
expensive. For the name Of
the store where you can find
the bolero and the cape, call
District 1000, Extension 459,
during business hours, or
write Miss Laville at The
Times, enclosing self adj
dressed, stamped envelope.

walnut cO1Oring is o dye, and is
it safe to use on the hair?
MRS. L. o. H."
The walnut stain is, in effect, a
dye, although the stain can be re-
moved without affecting the natu-
raj color of the hair. The walnut
stain in itself does not contain
aniline dyes, and it is non-metallic.
The old method Of making the
stain was to grind the walnut shells
and mix them with olive oil, and
after it was thoroughly beaten to
a cream it was permitted to stand
Tor a while and then strained and
used on the hair.
A mixture of the ground shells,
alcohol, water and alum may be
used for extracting and blending
the color, but these methods are
really not satisfactory for home
use, as there can be no accuracy
in the correct blending of the
shade of the hair. The walnut
powder is now on the market ready
for use with the proper directions
for mixing.
Dear Donna Grace:
do you think one should mix
and blend face powder at home for
their own use. / want to get the
right one to suit my skin and think
1 might have to buy it and mix it
myself. DAISY BELL"
1t was a fad of a few years ago
to blend ones own powder, but the
girls who INDUCED in the practice
found it both expensive and I'M
satisfactory.
To begin with, it takes a num-
Der Of tintS to make some of the
shades, and it takes a lot Of prac-
tice to do an expert blending, and
worst Of all for the home mixer.
Each shade when bought in mix
ing proportions will be much
more expensive than q whole box
Of the correct shade ready blended
would be.

Everyone knows there are good

Lincoln had a stepmother, and he
never failed to attribute much of
his success to that good woman's
care, and her sympathy with his
ambition to get an education in
youth. 1t was the stepmother who
encouraged him to study by the
fat pine logs that burned in the
