VALUE OF BOTTLES.

From Miss M. L. D., AlernndridJ
How should I. and where, apply
to find the value Of some old
bottles? These I plan to give to
the Navy museum as they de-
Scended to me in an old sea chest
of man serving many years in
our Navy, and twice under De-
catur, so that new little museum
seems their proper home. I plan
to reopen a correspondence with
Comdr. Davis who is in charge
there and who had expected to
call and see them last spring.
However. I should know the value
of the gift for our own satisfac-
ton.
Years ago I wrote the Smith
sonian and was informed they do
not appraise. In New York they
do. Recently, The Star had an
article on bottles on view at the
Smithsonian, hand etched, and
noted the etching was almost
similar to our bottles. They are
seemingly old American as the
glass is not clear. nor the shape
symmetrical, but they are beauti-
full and the etching exquisite. 1t

By the Chef

There's something new on the
market, which takes me back to
a Swedish cook we had years age
gingerbread doughnuts. Anna
used to make them for us on
Wintry afternoons-and when the
snow fell outside, and the kitchen
was warm and cozy, the spicy
fragrance of the frying dough-
nuts was tantalizing. Now you
can get them readymade and
probably one of the bigger baker,
les in your town will be featuring
them.
They are grand with coffee or
tea as an afternoon snack-al-
though they may not be so popular
with the breakfast doughnut eat
ers. The makers suggest several
effective ways in which these
doughnuts may be used-and one,
to delight today's child. is the
doughnut gingerbread boy.
For your youngsters next party,
put a big ball of vanilla ice cream
on top of a fresh gingerbread
doughnut. Scallop another dough-
nut to make a jaunty hat. Fasten
together by thrusting a pepper
mint stick through the works.

YOGURT;
SHIRT PROBLEM?

tFTUW INTS. u. ~. H., w WuSILEHytOI.J
In reply to Mrs. ". T. M,
Washington. I have been fol-
lowing with interest and amuse-
ment the various recipes and
comments regarding yogurt. I
must admit that some of those
complicated recipes have intrigued
me. Seriously, it must be very
diScouraging to one who does not
know how to make yogurt to see
that incubators and thermometers
are necessary. In reply to Mrs.
v. T. MS plea, I wish to say
that there is a simple way to
make yogurt. 1t is the way my
family and I have been making it
for years and years. I am cur
rently using a culture that I re-
lceived in August, and it is as
good and pure as the day I got it.
II make yogurt faithfully every
week and by doing this the starter
lis renewed each time and is con-
Isequently kept fresh. Here is how
I make it:
Boil one quart of pasteurized
lhomogenized milk for about 10
minutes. Watch it and mix it
from time to time to prevent it
from Scorching or sticking to the
pot or boiling over. Allow it to
cool at room temperature until
lit is luke warm. This takes about
As minutes to an hour. Then, in
a dippe1 or cup, mix about one
or two tablespoons of your yogurt
starter until it is smooth. Add
some of the cooled milk to it,
mix together and then pour this
mixture into the pot containing
the cooled milk. Mix all several
times to blend well, then strain
it into your containers. Cover the
whole business with warm
blanket or two heavy turkish
towels and put aside to "set." 1t
will be ready for the ice box in
about "a hours. I usually leave
mine for SO hours-it is thicker
and tastier for the waiting. That's
all there is to it!
| I would like to add at this point
that pour my yogurt mixture
into those small glasses in which
cheese spreads are sold, instead
of one large container. The re-
suits are better. A quart Of milk
makes about six of these little
glassfuls. Also, I might advise
you to put sheet of waXed paper
over the glasses before putting
the blanket or towels on. This
Iprevents the blanket or towels
from getting wet.
Now, for a question. Can any
one tell me what can be done to
a mars shirt when the collar is
bad and the body of the shirt
still good? My trouble is that
these collars are the kind that
have Stats in them and so make
lit impossible to reverse them
