on tho wrong side, leaving the bast
ing threads in, and baste a band
(plain or insertion) one-half inch
wide when tho edges are turned in,
straight down through tho center of
the strip, keeping tho plaits or gath
ers in place; stitch this band down
on each side, removing the basting
threads (if done by hand). For
fastening on the waist, use little
fancy Bheath pins as you would but
tons. The stiff, straight collars may
be worn, with a small black bow,
or four-in-hand tie closely, or a but
terfly bow of lace or embroidery may
bo used. These butterfly bows are
easily made, but can be bought ready
made.
Some Timely Recipes
Sweet Potato Pie Three large
sweet potatoes parboiled until ten
der; let cool, peel and grate; beat
three tablespoonfuls of sugar into a.
teaspoonful of soft nutter and the
yolk of three eggs; to this add the
grated sweet potato a cupful of milk,
tho grated yellow rind and Juico of
an orange, and a teaspoonful of
ground cinnamon. Bako in a bot
tom crust as you would a custard;
make a meringue of tho beaten
whites and three tablespoopfuls of
sugar and pile on top of tho pie, re
turning to the oven until it Is "set,"
but not colored.
Egg Plant If tho fruit is fresh,
peel and slice about half an inch
thick, soaking the slices in water is
not necessary where Jho fruit is
freshly gathered. Have ready a bat
ter made of one egg beaten with half
a cup of flour, a little salt and cold
water to make tho right consistency.
It should bo just thick enough to
coat the slices. Put plenty of fat
into a deep skillet, let get smoking
hot (not scorching), and Into this
drop the slices and cook until brown
on one side, turn, and lot brown on
tho other. When brown, tho inside
should be done.
Egg Plant, to Stuff Wash, and
parboil until barely tender in salt-

soap suds until the color comes out,
leaving the garment white, or with
but faint color designs.

yolks of two hard boiled eggs, mash
fine, and place on a granite-ware
plate, set in the oven and heat,
mashing and turning the yolks until
the oil is all tried out, but do not
let burn. The eggs must be per

this: Fill the felt full of prepared

dered magnesia; or other cleaning
powder, brush and shake well, re
peating the process. Flour, or corn
meal may do. None of these will
do harm.
