Answers Queries
My dear Mrs. Wilson j- Please
tell me how to use an oven ther
mometer and how to regulate the
heating of a small gas range oven
for baking? Thanking you, I am,
Miss C. A. B.
Place the thermometer in the lower
part of the oven. If it has a base set
it right on the floor of the gas range,
letting the upstanding part come
between the wire shelves, then light
oven. To obtain the desired heat
light the oven for five minutes and
watch the thermometer. When the
desired heat is reached then reduce
the flame sufficiently to maintain
this heat.
My dear Mrs. Wilson Some
time ago you gave a lesson on a
meringue of one egg white and
chocolate layer cake. The me
ringue you said would taste like
cream. Can you tell me about it?
Mrs. G. P.
Fruit whip was used.
Fruit Whip
Place in a bowl
White of one egg.
One-half glass of jelly.
Beat until stiff enough to hold its
shape; use a dover egg beater.
My dear Mrs. Wilson Will you
give me your recipe for fruit whip
and mayonnaise dressing?
Mrs. W. I. P.
Fruit Whip
One-half glass of jelly,
White of one egg.
Place in a bowl and beat until the I
mixture holds its shape. If you use
apple, crabapple, quince or currant
you will have a beautiful white me
ringue. See the woman's' page June
3, 1919, for salad dressings.

The New Bags for Summer

The summer bag, are lovely even a slionpim hut; it n most "-ireful

lined with blue tall'eta. The other bags are described in today s luslimu
talk

ing iu the ordinary run of life, but in
the women's world in the summer time
it should be "a bag in the hand that
holds everything necessary, is worth two
that are only ornamental." At least
that is th" uy it looks to me on a hot
summer daj . when every extra thing I
have to carry sfrms a burden. Women
really have more to carry in the sum
mer time anyway, for even the women
who do not find it nerespary to carry
the powder puff, etc . in winter, lo f-o
in the warm weather. Then there is the
parasol, and now
that fans are the,

For no matter how expensive aud elab-
orate a purse may be. if it lias tlie ap
pearance of being stuffed, the lines of the
bag are lost and so is its beauty.
When speaking about roomy bags, I
do not refer to the knitting bag. which
so many women made use of last year,
but good-sized pujscs, for the knitting
bag is no more, except for the intention
for which it was originally designed.
While the new bags are ample enough
in size to be convenient, they are not
clumsy.

Adventures
With a Purse
UP COME the heavy rugs in summer
time, and down go the cool rag rugs
which help so much iu giving the house
an airy, cool appearance in warm
weather. One girl I know has a cool
little guest room iu mahogany and rose,
nnd for the summer, she has small rng
rues on the floor In gray and rose.
' I saw some rag rugs today, fifty-four
I inches loug, for $1, specially priced.
' There were pink ones, gray ones and
some with a mixture of colors. They
i are just a nice size for the bathroom or
fmall bedroom.
i "Tonight," said I to the Recently
j Returned, "I am going to be comfy.
I There's no company coming." And I
I Vns cosily eusronced in the big chair,
under my favorite soft shaded light, in
a Uimouo, wheu in walked the Recently
Returucd's uncle! That decided it right
then and there. Not only would I write
about the fetching garment I saw today
I would buy one for myself. First of
all, it is made of old-rose Japanese
crepe, cut with short kimono sleeves. It
comes to the ankles and slips on over
the head. One would rail it neither
negligee nor kimono, et under it one
could take off confining corsets and
petticoats. A black silk cord ties
around the waist, and a strmmg design
I stamned on the front gives one an op
portunity to embroider some striking
color contrasts in blacks, ercens ana
tans. Ready made, and stamped for
embroidering, it costs ?3. It is the
comfort garment for home wear that one
would slip into and then pray for un
expected company it's so attractive.
"Yqu will want to write about this,"
said Dorothea." It's the best cleaning
paste ever." It is a kind of paste that
you rub on your snoes or gloves, ana
then turn right around and rub off
again. But here's the difference be
fore you rub the paste on, spotty and
soiled may be your shoes or your white
kid gloves but when you rub it off
behold you find them white and clean.

IN THE DRESSING ROOM
OF THE SLEEPING AR
You Can Find Out a Lot About Dispositions Summer Timd
a Proving Ground for Character ,
TN ONE of the movies hero recently
J- they showed a close-up of a couple
of men trying to shave in a Pullman.
It was, of course our first chance to view
such a proceeding nnd we gave it our
full measure of mirth. The thing that
made it particularly funny was that the
men were trying tp be so polite to each
other. The train would lurch and send
the elbow of one man into the ribs of
another and the razor dear knows where,
and the gentleman would assemble him
self, apologize profusely for the colli
sion nnd proceed.
It was very funny, and then we began
to take sober second thought (we were
two women together). Wouldn't it be
fearful if they gave n close-up of the
other end of the Pullman? What a
contrast there would be! What a
microscope on the general undemocratic
nature of women ! And on herofttimes
(we are sorry to say) selfish tendencies.
There is no place where true character
shines out stronger than in the Pull
man dressing room. Ever watched the
woman who has been on the train all
night tcfore look with mingled pity and
scorn on the woman to whom all the
little contrlvancies are a deep dark
mystery?
Ever bumped into the woman who
combed her hair at one mirror, powdered
her nose at another and let her fitted
suitcase attend to the rest of the space
in the jolly little dressing room? I hope
you bumped into her. One does occa
sionally in the vague hope thqt she will
come down to earth and remember she is
not in her own leisurely boudoir, but on
a crowded train where there are at least
ten soot -bedecked women back in the
car waiting to take a hurried wash be
fore the train steams in at their ap
pointed destination.
THE summer time fs indeed a great
proving ground for what we really
are. All the time spent on trains, boats
or in hotels not only shows others what
we are, but it shows us to ourselves.

Monsieur Panchard, rnanaging chef of several
famous New York hotels, including the Waldorf,
sends us the recipe we give you below. Try this

new blend of nut and vegetable oils. See if you
don't agree that Monsieur Panchard is certainly
a judge, both of good salads and good salad oil.

Slice one medium sized tomato very thin, keeping
the slices together, forming the whole tomato and

Pretty Net Dresses
Some of the prettiest frocks for the
warm weather are made of clear snow
white net trimmed with lace and rib-'
bons. They are so simple in design that
a description is superfluous! they hava
bebe bodices, straight skirts and sashes.
Rivals to these are the models made of
the finest crepe and voile; there are slits
for the rjbbons to be passed through at
the waist, so that they can be easily
laundered. Little linen frocks have come
iuto their own again ; many take the
form of coats and skirts with revera
of white crepe de chine.
The removal of a hair growth
from under the arms or tho
face can be very easily accom
plished by using this excellent
preparation. Sold by drug
