The balance seems to hang be- tween the straight-line silhouette to which we are entirely adapted and the new silhouette that dressmakers have been stressing in Paris as a relief from the straight lines of which they have wearied. If we continue with the former—and smartly-dressed women in France and America are amasingiy stub- born about dropping it—then we shall still have need of the straight- line cost. If. on the other hand. we are inveigied into the mode of 1840. with its fuller skirt, then we shall soon be wearing coats of flaring lines. Already some of these costs have appeared. made with a tre- mendous circular flare. and some of the new mandarin costs over which Paris has already become rather on- thusiastic are made full enough to accommodate the width of an IMO skirt. :THE: HOUSEHOLD “in.

About a half hour before the roast is to be done place the potatoes around the meat. allowing them to brown on one side and then turning to let them brown on the other. Did you ever try ricing potatoes? They should be well cooked. peeled and then put through the vegetable ricer. to about three cups of the riced potato add a quarter cup of butter and salt and pepper to taste. Beat well and put into a buttered baking dish and set in the oven to brown. Bacon and sweet potatoes make a delicious combination. The pota- toes should first be cooked and peeled and cut in two lengthwise. Now have ready as many slices of bacon as yon have potato halves Put the bacon and potatoes to: gether into a frying pan or small dripping pan and place in the oven. leaving them in until the bacon is done and the potatoes are slightly browned.

BENCH fried sweet potatoes F are not so easy sweet ANDWICHES have come to S play quite an important part in refreshments served at social gatherings. At card parties and teas. wedding receptions and buifet luneheoos the sandwich is an indis- pensibls part of the collation. And do you know how sandwiches had their origin?

WITH CHEAP EGGS. ; OW that eggs are cheap and KN plentiful—at least compara- " tively speaking—it is a good lplan to include custard desserts in your bill of fare. for custard is ex- tremely wholesome and not hard to make. Here is a good rule for plain boiled custard: For each quart of milk use three or four eggs and from one to two tablespooos of cornstarch. That is, with three eggs use two tablespoons of corn- starch and with four eggs use one. or one and a half. Heat the milk in a double boiler and add half a cup of sugar, mixed with the corn- starch. Stir this in and then pour it over the eggs beaten slightly with an egg beater. whites and yolks to- gether. Return to the double boiler and cook carefully. stirring con- stantly until it is smooth and thick. If you have a small family it is a good plan to make a batch of cus- tard to use two days. If kept in the refrigerator it is as good the second day as the first. Many de— licious desserts can be put together quite easily if you have a good cus- tnrd on hand. Here are some sug- gestlons: Put a layer of minced canned pineapple in sherbet glasses and over this pour cold boiled custard. Then lay a whole section of the canned pineapple and on top of this a meringue made by adding pow- dered sug. and a little finely minced pineapple to stimy beaten egg white. Put a layer of crushed and sweet- ened fresh fruit—bananas. straw- berries or peaches are delicious— into a baking dish and cover with crumbled macaroons. Over this pour a boiled custard and cover with a meringue and set in the oven and either put on tops andlctitbrownordmpfy’no.m , whipped. «can. -M‘ . -r ~r - .. . .. .. i. u... ~.-...... scum <--w~m-m “my-— . .mwwwus..w.w
