New England Cookery

One of the most prominent New England dishes is baked beans, served with brown bread. Many housewives refuse to bake their own beans, because they feel it is such a task requiring much attention during cooking. Others feel that it is more economy to buy them ready baked. If you are living in the city where gas rates are high, it is more economical to buy them ready canned. But if you burn your own coal or wood you have a splendid opportunity to bake your own beans. Gingerbread is another New England favorite and you will find it served two or three times a week in the majority of homes. One of the customs of the New Englander is the frequency of serving pie for breakfast. It is not an uncommon sight to see people in New England eating pie for breakfast the same as we eat it here for dinner. New Englanders are very ( fond of johnny cake or corn bread as we call it. It is always made from yellow meal and not ground too fine. They make it thin, crisp and brown and it is baked in a very large tin in order that it will be crisp. When baked it is usually 1-2 to 3-4 of an inch thick. It is served hot or cold. COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN NAMED FOR LEAGUE Mrs. Eugene C.

TAMALES Mrs. Florence P. Kahn, Congresswoman from California, Gives Her Favorite Recipe.

EDITOR’S NOTE—This is the second of four articles in which Congresswomen are giving their favorite recipes. The favorite recipe of Mrs. Florence P. Kahn, representative from the Fourth district, California, is

one for tamales, “a typical California dish, reminiscent of the Mexican occupation.” Mrs. Kahn gives these directions: “Mix two cans of canned tamales with 1 can of canned corn; season to taste with Worcestershire sauce, tomato catsu p, pepper and salt. Put in well-but-tered baking

dish, cover thickly with grated cheese and bake in moderate oven for 20 minutes.” Orange-Almond Conserves Another favorite of Mrs. Kahn is for conserves: “Oranges and almonds being two of California’s chief crops,” said Mrs. Kahn, “I combine the two in a conserve that is a sweet fit for kings.” The recipe calls for: Six oranges, six and one-hulf pounds of sugar, three lemons, one pound almonds. “Slice the oranges and lemons very thin. Blanch the almonds. Cover fruit with 10 cups of cold water and let simmer,-uncovered, for an hour. Dissolve the sugar in a little of the liquid from the kettle, cover, and when boiling return to kettle. Boil 20 minutes, add almonds, then turn into the glasses. This should fill 15 glasses.”

MRS. COOLIDGE TURNS TO SNAPPIER ATTIRE ' * _ v

BY ALLENE SUMNER NEA Service Writer mHE Prince of Wales may determine the cut of Britain’s pants’ legs, but it has never been customary for American fashion plates to follow the cut of the satorial jib of the Presidents’ wives. In fact, it has been quite the thing for fashion to make the same grimace about the clothes of our first ladies as the same old dame makes when surveying Queen Mary’s hats. Please observe the past tense. “Has been.” Have you seen by the papers the, latest picture of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge? v It was the one taken at the President’s birthday celebration recently. Did you see the modishly brief skirt, the big summer hat sans the erstwhile w. k. Coolidge feathers, the cute and chic little kick pleats, and the tout ensemble of modishness?? And before that, many an “Oh-and-ah” was heard o’er this broad realm when the photos of the "Two First Ladies,” Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, flooded the land. “Two snappy looking girls!” was the general verdict. Times change.

No one would have the temerity to suggest that the President’s wife had posed as an illustration of a Before and After ad—or to illustrate a fashion monolog entitled “How and How Not to Dress.” BJUT no law forbids thinking, and many people have been thinking that a handful of years of White House living have certainly changed the style of Grace Goodhue Coolidge until she could very ably pose as a Before and After ad of White House life. ‘She’s actually snappy!” is Washington’s conservative substitute for a remark which once went, “Yes she looks nice, but she’s too conservative—always wears her skirts too long.”

Even with all the evidence of the latest modish photos, Mrs. Coolidge has not utterly forgotten the political cause of a husband who has requested her ot wear her evening gowns mor* than once, and not to be photographed more than once a season in really formal clothes. But—political husband with an ax to grind or not—Mrs. Coolidge is a far different appearing woman today than when, entering the White House, she admitted that Calvin often selected her hats and gowns, or asked her not to wear things which he disliked. The tale of the toque and the hat with the wings! T~T| RS. COOLIDGE wore the jy[ toque for motoring, but Calvin didn’t like it, so she wore the hat with the wings, complaining

Struggle and Progress 'Not Fame, Worth While By MARTHA LEE “What wouldn’t I give to turn back the clock to the old days of work and struggle,” said that "grand old lady erf the opera,” Mme. Schumann* Heink, in a recent interview. Not fame, but the struggle and progress made in achieving an ambition, hold the greatest satisfaction in life. Success, as often has been said, is not necessarily in the fields of public life. The woman who has brought into being fine thoughts and ideals in her children; who has helped them to come into clean, wholesome manhood and womanhood, has made a success in life if nobody in all tha world outside of her immediate circle has ever heard her name.

Feels Overworked Dear Martha Lee: I get so discouraged that I sometimes wonder If there is anybody who has a worse time than I have. I have five children and about all I ever Set accomplished is cooking and washing lshes. It Just seems to me that what is the use of anything? I sure feel like lam tired of it all. MRS. L. M. C. With five dear little children to call you mother, you feel that life holds nothing? Why, Mrs. L. M. C., you are a most important person, with one of the biggest opportunities imaginable. Five little lives you are molding. Just think of it. Surely your work must be heavy and the days must seem overburdened and long many times, but some day, if we’re to believe the words of so many folks who have gone through the experience of struggle and accomplishment, you will look back with loving memories of this time. She Is Embarrassed Dear Martha Lee: I surely need some advice. I am a girl, seventeen years old and have the highest ambitions and alms in life, but there Is one thing which surely hinders me. I am bow legged. Now, Miss Lee, it it was not for this, I would have lots of chances of making good. I try to not be self conscious, but the young folks notice and boys snicker and laugh. Do you think I could be helped or must I go through life this wav? ? It’s certainly too bad that you’ did not have braces when you were younger and it would seem as if the chances are not good that anything can be done now. However, if I were you, I would consult some reputable physician who will no doubt direct you to those who can give an expert opinion. There’s one thing to take courage over. Short skirts, now so fashionable, and which of course cruelly reveal a trouble like yours, will not always be in style. History repeats itself in styles as well as in other things. There is no style which has not changed in time, so later on, when skirts lengthen, you’ll not be at such a disadvantage. Shall He Marry? Dear Martha Lee: I am a fellow 25 year* old. Recently I became engaged to a girl I have been going with for three yeara. Now my mother did like this girl but since I have become engaged, she talks against my marriage, saying I had better not get married for a long time. Now. I would hate to lose this girl. I have a friend who was prevented from marrying by his mother under about the same circumstances as mine and he says 'or hie to go ahead as he has never been able to love any one el# as he did the girl he lost. What do you think of this? If you are earning sufficient money to marry, use your own judgment. Often mothers feel a sense of jealousy when sons contemplate marriage, but only a selfish one will for this reason keep her child from a which seems to mean his happiness. Pall Wedding Mr. and Mrs. Edward F. Etter announce the engagement of their daughter, Mary Emma, to Ferdinand A. Finchum, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Finchum. The wedding will take place this fall.

that the next one shall be a sureenough marcel wave. No women feels it fair, of course, to dig up the pictures of yesteryear and contrast them with her present ones.

But, granting that fashions come and go, there is more than that to explain the difference between the Mrs. Coolidge who was laughed at on inaUguaration day because of her hat, and the Mrs. Coolidge of today whose hats are sans reproche. The same independence about dress still exists. Mrs. Coolidge wears her present snappy clothes because she has cultivated a taste for them and not because she thinks she should.

HEN she was the vice presiW dent’s wife a society reporter .4 called her at 6 o’clock one evening and asked what she was wearing to a 7 o’clock dinner.

“I don’t know,” said Mrs. Coolidge. “I have only two or three evening gowns, you know, and it seems so silly to keep reading about them. Oh, it’ll probably be the blue one tonight.” “Oh,” said the reporter, “we’ve been calling that green.” “Fine!” laughed Mrs. Coolidge. “now write it up as blue and they’ll think I have anew one!” In the same spirit she wore remodeled gowns to the White House receptions and joked about their remodeling. Rumors are about that the snappy, chic, voguish, fashion-platey Mrs. Coolidge of the present, who is wearing her skirts as short and as tight as Fashion’s best, may change her mind about wearing “Americanmade clothes only!” and try a few flyers into the fashion realm of Paree. It’s a safe bet, though, that the very fashionable first lady of the present tsill watches her pennies as when she first entered the White House and bought one of her best dresses at a “going out of business” sale for $39.50.

Mother Saw TANARUS/ Own Faults in Daughter BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Once upor. a time there was a woman who took it into her head that her husband did not understand her. Nothing original about that, of course, but this woman believed herself to be an unusual person. She knew that she was patient, broadminded, up-to-date, good-look-ing, kind and loving. All the virtues in one. Few women were up to her standard, she thought Her motto, like one of Frank Daniels’ old comedies, was “Os course you can never be like us, but be as like us as you’re able to be I” Angered by Criticism She dhliked it very much when her husband told her she was touchy and always carrying a chip on her shoulder. She disliked it still more when he told her she was too bossy. She had a habit of thinking that every one must do as she told them. What made her most furious of all was his assertion that she talked too much and gossiped. All this time a daughter away at school kept herself very busy turning into a young lady. For about three years the mother had seen her at short intervals only. Things had interfered, and even summer vacations had divided the family more or less.

Studied Daughter Then at last the family spent a summer together at a quiet place and the mother had a chance to become acquainted with her daughter. For a few weeks she observed her closely and then one day she told her daughter a few of her shortcomings. She told her that she was too quick to take offense, that she was too dictatorial and that she had noticed her saying unkind things about her friends. There was one thing she disliked and that was a gossip. Later mother went to him, a conscious flush on her face. “I see it all now, John,” she admitted. "She’s like me. You were right all along.” Mothers and fathers, too, may often learn their own shortcomings if they observe their children.

Woman’s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER The woman shopper was working feverishly, keeping one eye out for A saleslady. ’‘Here,’’ she directed her friend, “help me look over this rack for imperfections. See if you can find any ripped seams, any missing threads, any imperfections in the weave.” She lowered her; voice—"if you should accidentally catch your and make a snag in the goods, my feelings wouldn't be dreadfully hurt.” “What's the big idea?” asked her friend, beginning to rummage the pile of jewel colored summer prints; ‘"looking for a masquerade costume so you can go as Miss Rag Bag?" The Idea “No, if you must know, I’n working to beat the high cost of living. Don’t you work that old trick of finding damaged goods and getting a knock-off price! Why, Min, I’ve saved $135 this year just that way. The better the store, the more they’ll give you, so it pays to keep a charge account at the best store. They’ll throw off more if you have a charge. They want to keep satisfied customers.” In Action A saleslady hove into view with a pleasant, “Can I show you something?" My good woman was ready for her. “I’ve found a perfectly sweet little jade crepe here, but I’m not awfully sure of the size. Is this a 38?” Reassured, she started for the fitting room, all according to her carefully worked-out plan. Suddenly she dived at the dress as it hung over the salesgirl’s arms. “Don’t tell me that's a drawn thread in the sleeve! Oh, I wouldn’t risk that for anything! Please sec if you have another in that size!” How It Happened Now, I can’t swear to it, but I am rather sure that the prongs of the woman's ring had something to do with that “drawn thread.” And I am rather sure, too, that the shopper knew perfectly well that there was no similar dress on the rack. The salesgirl reported this fact. Sorrowfully, the shopper moved away with an “I’m so sorry; it’s just the dress I wanted, but those drawn threads are so treacherous. They start runs, you know, and I just don’t care to take a chance.” True to form, the saleslady rushed to the rescue. Diffidently, “I know that probably money is no object to you. But it might make you hesitate less about taking a chance on the dress if you didn’t pay such a price for it. If you would wait just a moment I’ll see what the buyer will do about it.” It Worked Still playing the game, the shopper appeared indifferent, but murmured, “If you like,” turning away to wink triumphantly at her friend as the bore the frock away. It worked. She returned with a “We’ll be very glad to allow you a $lO reduction if you care for the dress.” which the crafty one did, though appearing doubtful and disappointed to the very end. “The public is always right.” This is the slogan handed the lowliest shop girl. The public can do no wrong. Sometimes we think that they might seem* to practice this belief more than they do. Sometimes when a store sends sis somebody else’s kitchen toweling instead of the rose chiffon that we bought and ordered sent, and we are forced to wait our turn in an adjuster’s office for a half hour all because their mistake, we’re not so sure that we, the public, are considered as we merit. But when again we listen in on a woman who makes damaged goods if she can’t flnd > them, we wonder how stores keep As decent to us as they do ! 1

About Hosiery

BY lIEDDA HOYT United Pres* Fashion Editor Legs nowadays are conceded to be the main items of feminine attraction and therefore, stockings also continue to hold our interest. The rogue for wearing skin-toned stockings still continues as far as the majority of women is concerned. Smart women, however, are striving to introduce new stocking shades which conform more closely with gown shades. The stocking which contrasts too severely with the gown is no longer considered smart in some circles. We shall see evidences of harmonizing the tone of the stockings with the dress as Fall approaches. But where Summer is concerned, the majority of women remain nude-limbed. Nude Shades Wane Even now, however, the deeper beige tones and sunburned colors are more fashionable than the paler nude hosiery shades. Sunburnt shades in hosiery are particularly well liked with white or pastel shoes since they give the leg the effect of actually being a wholesome sunburned color. . A great many fashionable women began the Spring by wearing gunmetal or deep gray stockings with dark dresses. In this manner they harmonized stockings with the gown without exactly matching the two. Os course, dark frocks have been discarded during the Summer months and therefore light-hued stockings prevail again. However, as fall approaches we shall see not only gunmetal and# gray stockings, but deep brown shades, golden browns and dusty beiges. Amber Popular One of the popular fall hosiery shades Is known as “amber.” This is a golden beige shade which may be worn with brown, tan or black. Co-coa-tan is another shade of coming importance.,This is a rather brownish tan which will harmonize with brown kid shoes and brown costumes. It is thought that some of the darker gray shades will be popular owing to the fact that they harmonize with blue costumes. The new shades introduced for evening verge on mauve tones. One might call them flesh mauve shades although each individual tone has a name of Its own. There’s an evening stocking of mulberry mauve tone which is most attractive. Lighter than this is “opal mauve,” which can be worn with light gowns. Darker mauve tones will be worn for dressy afternoon wear. Mirage, a new grayish beige is another good afternoon hosiery shade for the fashionable.

Magazines Rule Lives of Women BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Perhaps the most striking evidence that women have not attained their full mental growth is the number of magazines that cater exclusively to feminine readers. They are not trade journals. They are the mentors of our existence. They hand out advice about our every action. They give us no credit for originality, will power, brains or even common horse sense. We are creatures over whom the presses of the world must grind day and night in order that we shall be able to get through our duties creditably. And they are positive Insults to us, as individuals. They tell us what clothes suit our type, how to raise the children, how to vote, how to entertain our friends, how to treat our mother-in-law and how to manage our husband. No Secrets There is no intimate secret of a woman’s life that is not subjected to dissection, no personal quality that is not used for copy, no intimate heart-beat over which we are not brought to task. Now it is all well and good that women should possess publications to assist them in their work, just as men do. Needlecraft, cooking, fashions, house beautifying, are all excellent and advice about practicali things from authorities is welcome,™ but this thing of telling us how to regulate our ideas and how to keep our husbands is all bunk. If we haven't sense enough to live with our families and manage our children without consulting the pages of a magazine, we ought to be in the feeble-minded institute. Not for Men Can you stretch your imagination enough to visualize the men having pages and pages of the purest rot thrust at them, telling them the correst way to adjust their necktie, the manner in which they should approach their employers, the proper way to behave while in the office, the correct etiquette of poker and the most gracious way of getting their own way at home? It is the general supposition that men have brains enough to arrange their clothes, their manners and their morals to suit their own personal convenience. They live very happily without the aid of publish- [ ers. But we women, from the news I stand angle, appear the world's champion dunces. We can’t do any--1 thing from mopping to marrying without having editorial coaching.
