SAVORY DISHES FROM ITALY.
Our simple mnnner of cooking maca
roril, one of the commonest of Italian
dishes, Is not a
simple dish when
prepared by them.
Macaroni a la
Rlstorl. Wlpo a
pound of lean beef,
add a fourth of a
pound of raw ham
cut In dice, and a
large onion sliced,
wash and remove the stems from a
pound of tomatoes cut In small pieces;
place nil together In a large sauce
pan with two tablespoonfuls of olive
oil, a sprig of paisley and a bay leaf;
simmer gently for two hours, then add
one pint of boiling water and continue
to cook until the sauce becomes re
duced and thickened Into a mass In
which the different Ingredients are
well blended. Cook the macaroni un
til tender, drain and place a layer In
a serving dish, sprinkle generously
with Parmesan cheese and cover with
the meat sauce. Repeat until the dish
Is lllled. Cover closely and let stnnd
' In the oven for live minutes until well
blended.
Chicken Livers With Mushrooms.
Cook the livers (six of them) with the
same number of coarsely chopped
mushrooms lnn cupful of stock for
a half hour; cool and drain. Prepare
n batter with two tablespoonfuls of
Hour, a little milk, and salt and pepper
to taste, and one beaten egg. Add the
livers and mushrooms and drop by
spoonfuls In a little hot fat In a fry
ing pan. Cook until n golden brown
on each side and drain thoroughly be
fore serving.
Chestnut Creams. Boll, shell and
skin a pound of large chestnuts. Pass
them through n sieve, add the Juice of
two oranges, sugar to taste, and add a
half pint of heavy cream, whipped.
Serve In sherbet cups garnished with
whole chestnuts and a cherry or a
small cube of jelly of bright tco!or.
Cooked chestnuts and orange rlnd
cooked In a sirup, using only the yel
low of the rind, then served with bits
of fresh orange and mayonnaise on
water cress or bead lettuce makes a
most delightful salad, which we can
appreciate on this side of the water.

CHICKEN FOR TWO.
In a family of two, poultry Is not
us often used ns desired because It Is
too much meat to be
cooked at once. In some
markets a half a chicken
mny be purchased but
even when this is not pos
sible a fowl may be
spread over several days
without becoming monot
onous. For one meal the
drumsticks may be
cooked, these from a six
to eight pound fowl will
furnish sufllclent meat to satisfy any
.appetite. After stewing them in n lit
tle boiling water to keep In all the
Juices and flavors, brown them In a
little butter and servo with drawn
nutter sauco and baked potatoes, The
wings and neck may be stewed and
prepared In the form of a small chick
en pie with the giblets made Into a
rich sauce to serve with It. Now the
breast may bo cooked, served In a
white sauce ns cream chicken or thin
ly sliced nnd used for sandwich fill
ing or combined with celery and ap
ple with boiled dressing making a
laost delicious snlad. The second Joints
Iniiy be cooked nnd browned as were
the drumsticks or they may be cooked
to make a fine broth, removing the
'bones and add vegetables nnd cook In
n casserole, adding rice or macaroni.
Chicken Jelly. Take one chicken
'breast, a pint of ttock In which the
chicken was cooked, anil n package
of gelatin. Dlssolvo the gelatin, add
onion Juice, celery salt or various sea
sonings, adtl the breast and mix all to
gether. Pour In a mold and when hard
ened serve as a salad with dressing.
After all the chicken has been con
sumed but the bones, they too. mny be
stewed after cracking them. Cover
them with cold water, add a slice of
onion nnd cook until all the fiavor has
been extracted. Strain, add a little
cooked rice or barley, ono or two beat
en eggs, and some hot milk or thin
cream with plonty of seasonings' nnd
you have a most delicious cream of
chicken soup.
The thrifty housewife In these days,
scalds thj feet and skins them when
they are cooked In the broth after all
are "well trimmed. They contain quite
.a little gelatin and add to the llavor
of the soup.
For an lnvlld's meal a bit of broiled
chicken breast sorved on toast Is n
most drinty meal. It may bo broiled
In a bit of buttered letter paper,
wrapped (Irmly, and pinned together,
thus saving nil the fine flavor. The
fleeseiy wteeHsl
small fillets are more tender than the;
lnrger ones and two may be served
If oue does not seem sufllclent.
SEASONABLE SALADS.
Mix cream cheese with finely
chopped peanuts and a little cream,
mold In small balls and
dust until red, with pa
prika, place three on let
tuce leaves and garnish
with slices of radish or
have them cut In tbo
form of tulips. Serve,
with any salad dressing
desired.
Cauliflower Salad.
Trim the stall; and out
side leaves of a fresh
cauliflower nnd soak In salted water
for .'!() minutes. Then wash carefully
and cook In salted water until tender.
Remove from the lire and when cold'
carefully remove the center nnd fill
the space with cooked peas dmlned
and seasoned. Pour French dressing
over all, garnish with lettuce leaves,
and serve cold.
Lemon Jelly and Cabbage Salad.
Take a package of lemon Jelly, add
two cupfult of chopped or shredded
cabbage, a little shredded onion, two
green peppers and one red one, mix
well and mold. Serve with mayonnaleo
on lettuce.
Apple Salad. Arrange diced pine
apple on lettuce leaves and In the cen
ter put a few shrimps, around this put
a circle of chopped apple and celery
and garnish with mnyonnalso made
pink with paprika.
Tomato and Cucumber Salad. Whllo
these vegetables are still expensive,
two or three tomatoes with one cucum
ber will serve several people If care
fully cut. A firm, ripe tomato,
If small, may be cut In halves,
thus serving two, or, if large,
cut In slices for three or four.
Arrange these pieces of tomato on head
lettuce and heap cn each slice a spoon
ful of finely diced cucumber mixed
with finely minced southern onion,
then serve with either French or may
onnaise dressing.
A few dates nnd raisins added to
Waldorf salad makes a change and Is
liked. Take twice as much apples as
celery and a few nuts with a handful
of dates and raisins, mix well and
serve with French dressing on lettuce
or In nests of water cress which Is
especially good at this season.
Polnsettla Salad. Small, bright, red
tomatoes may he cut In sections like
n llower, either six or eight petals, and
the center filled with a yellow dress-.
lug, served on lettuce or water cross,
It makes u most attractive salad.

it Is not so vital
that she keep sup

there Is no place to get a hurried sun-

An oyster-white silk crepe, a pongee
or "khnkl-kool" or nny of tho new
heavy weaves In silk, will ninke an
nftcrnoon gown like that shown In the
picture, that could not be excelled for
simple elegance or refinement. The
trend of fashion tQward the straight
silhouette has placed the seal of ap

nnd on long bodices without definition
at the waistline.

lug of this gown, Is essential, ns In nil
simple designs. In this respect the
home dressmnker must be faithful to
tho model If she undertakes to copy It ;
but a light wool or heavy cotton fab
rlc may be used Instend of silk, with
good success. Smnll shepherd check,
In black and white, decornted with
black soutache braid will convert the
model" Into a perfect one-piece street
dross.
As pictured tho dress Is mndo of a
heavy silk crepe and fnstens nt tho
front with white buttons, set close to
gether, nnd loops of silk cord. Down
each side of tho bodice at the back
nnd front n border design in soutache
braid provides a decoration In perfect
hnrmony with the dress. The design
Is widened nt the shoulders to extend
to the urm's-eyc. Tho sleeves nre long
and without cuffs, but the braided pat
tern apijears at the wrist and three
buttons, matching those thnt fasten the
dress, are sot close together here. A
narrow, Hat sash of the material Is
finished at the end with n bit of hntul
some fringe. It'ls tacked -to the dress
and looped over nt the front. The

THE STORY OF
from among the styles already pre.M-nt- I
cd. For by the time Kaster arrives
they have attended to nil needs, not
neglecting those of June brides nnd
bridesmaids and tourists and sports
women nnd people1 who nro devoted to
tailored things. The story of summer
hats Is told and It never was more In
teresting or better.
The group of hats shown bore gives
nn Inkling of tho variety of choice
which promises a happy ending to the
shopping tour. There nre lints of tho
airiest braids and tulle and hats of
fabrics more substnntlnl, nlong wltH
heavier braids and bodies that wo havo
known for many yenrs. One of these,
appears in the mllun, with round
crown and fiat brim, prettily trimmed
with a cluster of strawberries at each
side and a fiat bow of narrow ribbon
nppllcd to the crown at the front. Ml-
bins nre very flno this year and do tiot
seem heavy even by comparison with
hats of lace braid.
FOR MIDSUMMER
One of the latter Is pictured with a
wider brim than tho mllun model and a
round crown. It Is bordered, on the
tinder brim, with u narrow ribbon gath
ered at the Inner edge and a ribbon Ih
Introduced Into the crown In the same
way. A cluster of smnll roses Is posed
at the front. This Is u fnvorlte trim
mlng for both black and white hair
braid lints.
The third hat Is an unusual model of
purple georgette crepe nnd slppor
straw In the same color. Tho upper
aijd under brim nre of crepe with a
scalloped border of the straw. The
top crown and part of tho sldo crown
are covered with crepe, also with a
wide band of straw covering that por
tion of the crown which appears below
the wreath of violets nnd smnll roses
encircling it. The flowers nre In their
natural colors and they are lacquered
by a process which stiffens nnd bright
ens them so thnt they will hold their
own In the summer sun.

Deputy Minister of Highways of On
tario Advises Taxpayers to Pay
for Them by Bond Issue.
No mntter how good tho surface- of

nnd the culverts poor, the highway Is
far from satisfactory. Tho nnntinl rec

Is a largo sum. In progressive com

Substantial Structure.
verts are being constructed before ex
pensive road surfacing Is done, says
Indlnnn Farmer.
This work Is often puld for out of
the annual tax levy for road and
bridge const ruction, and absorbs such
u largo part of tho funds thnt too little
money Is left for gradlnc the surfac
ing. Good bridges and culverts nre
permanent structures, nnd tho deputy
minister of highways of Ontario, Hon.
W. A. McLean, has advised the taxpay
ers of that province to pay for them
by a bond Issue where tho total ex
penditure for the purpose Is large. In
such a case he suggests compiling a
complete list of the bridges nnd cul
verts needed, prepnrlng plans and es-.
tlmates for their construction, and
then flnnnclng tho work so that Its
cost will be equitably distributed over
a period of years rather than bo con
centrated on tho taxpayers of a few
years. Where there aro few of these
structures and nono Is expensive, the
policy of paying for them out of the
annual tax levy cannot be criticized,
In his opinion, for It does not Interfere
appreciably with satisfactory progress
In grading, drainage, surfacing nnd
maintenance.
SAVE COST OF MAINTENANCE.
Highways Which Cost Most at First
Are Always Cheapest to Keep
in Good Condition.
(By It. XV. GAY. Mississippi Experiment
Station.)
With the recently awakened Interest
In tho cause of good roads the ques
tion of financing road building Is of,
first Importance. How road building,
can be paid for Is not tho only serious
question, however, but which ono of(
sevcrnl possible methods of construc
tion will best suit the needs of tho
community nnd give the people tho
best roads at. as smnll cost ns posslblo
within the limit of the available funds.
The first cost may be only a small
part of tho total. Roads must be
maintained In good condition, nnd the'
chenpest road Is tho one thnt costs'
least per year to build and keep In
shape for travel. In New York stato,
It was found cheaper to expend $25,000
a mile In the construction of brick
highways than to pay from $7,1)00 to
$10,000 a mile for macadam hecauso
of the difference In cost of upkeep.
To stive maintenance expense the.
Idea of present economy must not boj
allowed to overshadow the Importance;
of building pennnnent "highways. As
n rule tho roads which cost tho most
at first will bo the cheapest to main
tain.
LONG ROADWAY OF CONCRETE:
Remarkable Example of Ubcb of That'
Material In California Cost
Almost $395,000.
Under supervision of tho California
stato highway commission there hnsi
Jwst been completed the longest con
crete roadway In tho world, a remark
able example of tho uses of that ma
terial. It Is a littlo moro than threo
miles long, a trestle construction, nnd
cost almost SHOn.OOO. Tho trestlo Is 20
feet high nnd wits built In units with
u rrtatlway '21 feet wide. It Is sup
ported on reinforced concrete piles,
each weighing from threo to flvo tons,
and the lloor Is mudo of "pro-cast'
slabs. All the parts were put togeth
er so carefully that tho completed
structure Is practically a monolith.
Convicts Work Georgia Roads.
Georgia employs virtually all her
able-bodied male convicts In road build
ing. In 1000 tho stnto abandoned tho
old system of leasing prisoners to pri
vates contractors, and slnco that time an
Increasing number havo been employed
on tho roads. Tho work hurt been con
sidered very successful.
