WHITE SAUCES

TO ALL DISHES

Different Methods of Serving Prevent Family From Tiring of Most Common Vegetable Preparations. All green vegetables, roots and tubers should be crisp and firm when put on to cook. If the vegetable has become wilted, it will regain its original crlspnesa if soaked in very cold water for about twenty minutes. Vegetables that form in heads that afford hiding places for bugs, such as the cabbage, cauliflower and head lettuce should be turned upside down in water to which has been added a little salt or. vinegar. Any remaining insects will crawl out. All fresh vegetables should be put on to coek in boiling water but" should not be ullowed to remain in the water after they are cooked tender. Green and starchy vegetables are Improved by the addition ot salt to the water as it seasons and helps to preserve the oolor. When the quality of turnips, Deeia ana corn is not tne Dest add a little sugar to the water. During the cooking of all vegetables and particularly the strong-flavored ones, the cover should be drawn to one side of the kettle or removed en tirely so that the gases formed while cooking may pass off in the steam. In some vegetables the gas is so strong as to injure the flavor of the whole dish as well as make it more difficult to digest. Ways of Serving. There are so many different ways of serving vegetables that one need not tire of them. Sauces may be varied that change the character of the dish and buttered crumbs give escallopcd dishes a crisp and delicious finish. W'Mie sauce, the foundation of so many dishes, is made In many differeat .7ay3 but the most satisfactory sauce is the one made in a double boiler. Heat the milk first, cream the butter or drippings with the flour and seasoning. When the milk Is scalding hot add the thickening, stirring until it is thoroughly mixed and sirooth. White sauce varies with the amount of flour used to the quantity of liquid. If one tablespoonful of flour is used to a cup of milk and one tablespoonful of butter, it is known as white sauce number one; twice that amount of flour to the same II .1 T .VI,A cuiivuiii ui uijuiu manes wuut? sauce number two and so on until four tablespoonsful of flour is used which is about all that one cup of milk can take up. Drawn butter sauce Is another palatable sauce for vegetables. Melt the butter, about one-fourth cup, add three tablespoonsful flour and pour on one and one-half cups of water, season with salt and pepper and cook five minutes. Buttered crumbs are prepared by mixing dried crumps with about one fourth as much melted butter and stirring In a sauce pan until brown. Married Life Fourth Year By MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Dear, Khali we leave a quarter for the chambermaid? It has been only one night, but I suppose she will expect" "'Sure!" Warren drew out a handful of change and threw a quarter on tho dresser; "They have made us pretty comfortable here. These Bosion hott ls give you mighty good service. Ready?" "Did you ring, sir?" asked the bell boy. who now' appeared at the door. "Ys. take that suit-case and bundle down." "We came here yesterday morning and now it is after four," whispered Helen, anxiously, as they went down to t!m office. "Do you suppose they will f.h-jrge you for more than one day?" "Well, they will not get paid for more than one," grimly. Helen was t worried that they had not. given up the room that morning, but evidently It was all right, for when the clerk handed Warren the bill, he paid it without comment. "Get me a taxi," to the boy who still had his suit case. "I can get you a cab, sir, but we don't have a taxi service." "Don't care what service you have I want a taxi." "I am sorry sir, but they don't stop here." "Oh, that is your graft, is It?" War ren turned sharply and took his suit case from the boy. "You have oiny cabs and they charge the guests what they please. That's it, eh?" As they pushed through the revolving door the uniformed doorman outside touched his cap with a polite: "Cab, sir?" "Taxi," snapped Warren. WARREN INSISTS. "There is a cab right here, sir, persuasively. "Yes, I see there is, but I am not going to fall for that little game. A lot of taxis pass here now you flag one! Understand?" "I don't know if they will stop for me?" sullenly. "You mean you won't get youRrakeJ nff from th enh nmle?" 1 The man spluttered an " indignant protest, as he made a feeble effort to signal a passing taxi. ' "You see sir, I tlld you they would not stop." "You took blamed good care that he didn't see you," snorted Warren. "Pear, let's walk, suggested Helen, Yvrsrtar.': " If the suit case is heavy ' yon can get boy to carry It." "Come on then, , it Ms not heavy." Then as a parting shot at the doorman.. "This is a great game you have

GRANULAR FLOURS GIVE BEST RESULT

... III BREW MAKING Hard Wheat Product Makes Softer Dough But Requires Longer Time for Rising Than Others. The great difference in flour makes it difficult to give exact amounts in giving recipes. Some flours are very much more moist than others, this flour can absord more than another, Many cooks, rather than commit them selves to a certain amount in giving recipes say, "Flour to make a stiff batter," or words to that effect. To an experienced listener that may be definite enough but the novice is .left very much at sea. It is only by patiently experimenting with various amount tnat sne can learn tne proportion of flour to liquid what a stiff batter is. Flours are made from both hard and soft wheat, alone, or of blends of the two. Hard wheat flour is also called gluten fluor because it contains a larger per cent of gluten than soft or pastry flour. Gluten is the protein found in flour and gives it its elasticity. Flour that is creamy in color is more to be prefered than the pure white or bleached flour. The best flour is that which has a granular feeling when rubbed between the fingers rather than the perfectly smooth flour that holds the shape given it when squeezed in the hand. Give Kind on Label. When hard wheat is used the bread can be made into softer dough than with the soft fluor, but the dough requires a longer time for rising. Soft wheat dough should be stiffer and al lowed to rise for shorter length of time. That the ' housekeeper may know which kind of flour she is using most manufacturers state on the sack which kind of flour it contains. It is very important to keep the flour in a perfectly dry receptacle an 1 place, so that there is no chance for the growth of molds. Moldy flour gives the bread a bad flavor. The bread itself should not be kept in a wooden receptacle as wood absorbs moisture and causes the bread to be come dry too soon. Tin boxes ant cans or earthen ware are the best and they must be often cleaned and scalded. Crumbs left in the bread box soon mold and impart a bad flavor to the fresh bread. Dr. Geisefs Question Box Question: What is the cause of adenoids? Answer: An adenoid is caused by a fungus or parasitic growth in the nostrils. Adenoids should be removed instantly. They bring pressure to bear on the arteries that carry blood to the brain so that a child is stupid. They also obstruct the Eustachian tubes so that the child becomes a little deaf. Question: Should tonsils be removed? Answer: They should not be removed unless they threaten the life of the child. Tonsils are a necessary part of the physical mechanism. Up to fourteen years of age, they secrete a mucous substance that acts as a trap to catch the disease germs that are breathed in. Question: If one can't eat beans and meat, what should he eat? Answer: He can eat cereals, fruits, vegetables and nuts. Question: Has the appendix and use? Answer: The great von Schraeder says that the appendix is a kind of oil that secretes a lubricating fluid for the benefit of the colon. Dr. Geisel recommended the following recipe for bread: 1 quart bran, 1 cup flour, 1 cup Orleans molasses, 1 pint sweet milk, 1 teaspoonful soda in a little hot water. To this may be added a cup of raisins if desired. Bake one hour in a slow oven. here but you can't pull it off with New Yorkers." "Do you think he is to blame?" ventured Helen, as they hurried down the street. "Of course the hotel gets something from the cab company, but do you think the doorman and bell boys do?" "Oh, they all get their rake-off. It is a hold-up I won't stand for. Why pay a dollar for a cab when you can get a taxi for eighty cents?" He glanced at his watch, "Only twelve minutes. We will take no chances on missing that train. There's a taxi," raising his cane at the driver. They were quickly whirled to Back Bay station, and as Warren already had their tickets, in less than ten minutes they were comfortably seated in a chair car on the "Merchants' Limited." "Jove, I am tired," Warren tipped his hat over his eyes and leaned back heavily. "Hungry, too. Didn't have any time for lunch." "You didn't?" anxiously. "And you had breakfast so early. Warren, you SHOULDN'T go all day without food." "I tell you I didn't have time," irritably. Had to crowd three day's work Into one." "Then we will go in to dinner just as soon as the dining car opens." "Baseball extra! Latest Boston and New York papers!" shouted a train boy who now passed through. HE BRACES UP. Warren bought a couple of papers and threw them into Helen's lap. The train was moving out now and they were on the sunny side. He tipped his hat over his eyes, while Helen gazed out at the bleak warehouses that skirted the railroad. The slant rays of the snn illuminated the dingy, soot-streaked windows into mirrors of fire. When a waiter came through with the "first call for dinner," Warren greeted the announcement with reviving spirits. "That sounds cheerful. Think I can stand a little nourishment.'-' They passed through the long train

A PAQUIN MODEL FOR FALLSEASON

HO 1

Tl 2 bodice of this black charmeuse Paquin model, is crossed at the front, and fastened beneath by a huge poppy of purple velvet. The sleeve of silk muslin, veiled by bjack net, is narrowed at the wrist by a brace charmeuse. The V shaped neck is trimmed by , one-black and one white velvet poppy. The long tunic of black tulle, is trimmed with six rows of black silk braid, and laid over a narrow underskirt of black charmeuse of vestibuled cars to the diner. Except for one man, they were the first arrivals. "Bring me a dry Martini right away," ordered Warren, taking a table on the shady side. "I am sorry, sir, but our license ran out six weeks ago. We can't serve any drinks." "The deuce you can't ! Mean to say I can't get a cocktail?" "We have only soft drinks, sir, turning over the dinner card, on the back of which was a list of mineral waters instead of wines. "What has that man got?" Warren demanded, glancing across the aisle. "That is his own, sir. If you have anything in your grip, why it is all right. But we can't serve it." "So that is the last wrinkle on the railroad, is it?" "It is not only this road, sir. The Pennsylvania, and New York Central have both stopped serving it. They have put the license too high." "Since when?" Warren looked incredulous. "Just within the last month or so, sir." The man across the aisle now turned and handed Warren a traveling flask with a hearty "Won't you have a drink with me? I was caught in the-same fix last trip, so I came prepared." "Are they going to keep the thing up?" asked Warren, taking the flask with the same hearty good-will with which it was offered. "Well, the new tax is pretty high. I believe every dining car has to pay three hundred dollars for each state in which it serves liquor." "That is stiff. Still I would think they would take in enough to pay It." "Cream of tomato or consomme?" queried the waiter, as he removed their oyster shells. A BOTTLE OF VICHY. "Consomme. Ami you can bring a bottle of vichy," ordered Warren. The car was fast filling up, and before they reached the roast almost every seat was taken. Each table seated four, and to Helen's discomfort two young men were now ushered to their table. Without raising her eyes, she could see the large seal ring and striped cuff of the one who sat next to her, and promptly conceived for him an instinctive dislike. "Can I trouble you to pass me the salt?" asked the man who sat next to Warren, who wore an aggressively new suit of loud gray mixture. Helen who was too self-conscious to talk in the presence of strangers, was glad when the waiter brought Warren the check. It lay beside his plate and she could read the figures upside down: . . 2 dinners ........... , .. .$2.00 yichy ....... .. . ." 40 Cigars . . ." , .25 $2.65 Warren laid , three one-dollar , bills on the check, and the waiter scurried off. "Dear, how far are we now?" asked Helen, as they waited for the change. "About sixty miles out. We just left Providence." The waiter seemed unnecessarily slow in ' bringing the change. , , He passed their table several times without a glance their way. -. "So-that is what he is trying to pull off," muttered Warren .finally. "Go-

Mock Plum Pudding and Foamy Sauce Help Housewife Prevent Waste When Appetites Take Slump. Appetites are apt to be capricous during the hot weather, and the house keeper is often confronted with leftovers that at other times of the year would have been hardly enough to satisfy the family. Here are some ideas for using up cake that has been cut too freely. Mock Plum Pudding. One well-bcaten egg, one-fourth cup sugar, one-fourth cup molasses, onefourth cup chopped stewed prunes, three-fourths cup chopped raisins, two teaspoons mixed spices, one-fourth teaspoon soda, one-half teaspoon salt, two teaspoons lemon juice, one-fourth cup flour, two cups stale cake-crumbs softened in one-fourth cup hot milk. Mix and bake in a moderate oven 45 minutes. Serve hot with foamy sauce. Foamy Sauce. One-fourth cup butter, three-fourths cup brown sugar, four tablespoons cream, one-half teaspoon vanilla, a few drops of lemon juice. Cream butter and sugar and beat until light. Add cream and flavoring. When ready to serve sttvnd the bowl over boiling water and stir until the sauce is foamy looking. Trifle. Cut stale cake into slices and spread preserves between them. Lay in a deep dieh and heap high with whipped cream. Sponge-Cake Porcupine. Cut as large squares as possible from stale pponge-cake. Place in pudding dish, moisten with sweetened orange-juice.

With grim determination Warren waited another five minutes to make sure of the waiter's attention. Then with clenched fist he suddenly pounded on the table with an energy that rattled the dishes, and made every one turn. A SCENE. "Here, waiter!" his voice rang through the car. "Where is my change?" The waiter hurried up, looking blankly innocent. "Why why, sir, I I didn't know you wanted the change!" "You didn't, eh? Well, when I tip a waiter I tip him but he don't appropriate any change of mine! Understand ?" Sullenly the waiter threw down the thirty-five cents on the table. Warren pocketed the ten-cent piece and left the quarter with a muttered, "You ' would have had it all if you hadn't tried that little game. That don't go with me." His loud, angry voice had attracted the attention of everyone at the surrounding tables, and now as he pushed back his chair and stalked down the aisle, Helen followed him with flaming cheeks. Oh, why had he done it? Why had he not let the waiter kept the change rather than have made a scene? He always tipped most generously, yet those flashy men at their table thought he wanted that ten cents! Helen had seen one of them smile and raise his eyebrows. She longed to turn and shriek out at him, and at i the others, that Warren was generous generous to a fault, that it was only his determination not to be imposed upon that made him rail at waiters and cabmen. When they reached their seats. Warren, in no way perturbed by the Incident, rank back with a self-complacent "Those grafters think all travelers are easy marks. But they will have to get something newer than those whiskc-ed hold-ups if they expect to work them off on ME!"

Forceful Isms By G. R. Stuart

A dog of mine swallowed a stick of dynamite. A tramp kicked that dog. Later on I picked up the dog's tail and said, "Wife, this is the end of our dog." Two young women saw a young fellow coming up the street. "What a funny mustache that fellow wears," said one. "Yes," replied the other, "he's my beau. That mustache has tickled me often". Women don't grow old any more. You don't know how old the girl is you're getting married to. In this time of false eyes, false teeth, false hair and false eoler, a woman can marry a youngster anywhere from the seminary to the cemetery. A society woman went down the street wearing a polka dot dress and leading a spotted dog by a string. "I always wear this dog with my dress," she explained to a frfend, "because they match so well."" "' The other day a man was complaining that he had eye trouble and saw double. The gas company immediately offered him a job reading meters. I ain't going to talk to you women about your dress because there ain't enough of it to talk about. Albert H.
