WILSON GIVES RECIPES FOR V V More Than Thirty-five Varieties of This Vegetable Average Analysis Given Roast ing in Ashes Gives Delicious Taste Dumplings and Crust for Meat Pie. Cups to Hold Vegetables in Appetizing Salad fPHIS nutritious tuber is said to " have saved the Irish people from famine and it is fitting that this va riety of potato should bear that name. The potato was unknown to Europe before the venturesome ex pedition of the fifteenth century to the Americas, where it was found to 1 be used freely by the natives of both continents. Frequently it has been said that the potato competes with bread as the staff of life, because its use is almost universal. There are more than thirty-five varieties of potato and, although it is affected by soil and climate, the sandy soil necessar for its successful growth is founl in almost every country. The housewife should understand its food value. The average analysis of the white potato is as follows: Sixty-two per cent water, 2 per cent protein, 1 per cent fat, 4 per cent carbohydrates (starch and sugar), 20 per cent waste and 1 per cent mineral ash. The proportion of water found in the potato depends largely upon the soil in which it is grown. The small protein content is offset by its large carbohydrates (sugar and starch) content. Potato Dishes One of the best forms of serving this tuber is to roast the potato in the ashes. Pew will realize how deli cious it can be. Wrap the potato in tissue paper and then cover with hot ashes, then cover with coals and roast about one hour. Next to this method comes the baked potato. Wash and dry medium-sized potatoes and then rub well with shortening, and place in the oven and bake for thirty-five minutes for small potatoes and fifty minutes to one hour for large ones. Greasing the potato well before bak ing prevents a hard crust from form ing and permits the entire contents of the mealy sack to be eaten. Boiling potatoes in their jackets causes the potato to lose about 2 per cent of its nutritive value, while peeling before cooking causes a loss of 14 per cent. If necessary to peel, use a Bharp knife and remove the very thinnest portion of the skin; scraping new potatoes is better than . peeling them. 'S Potato Cakes Cook three large potatoes and then peel and mash fine. Measure and place two cups of the mashed pota toes in a mixing bowl and add Mrs. Wilson Answers Queries My dear Mrs. Wilson Will you please publish a recipe for sweet buns with currants for breakfast that can be made with baking pow der instead of yeast?

The fat should brown a crust of bread while you count 101, 1102, 103, 104, etc., until you reach j 110. Now reduce the heat slightly aim atari coosing. uo not aau too many crullers at once, as this cools the fat.

Mil II o4 THE SATIN NIGHT ROBE VtTHl h m I I'M' 1 tiPv The nightgown of cool satin or repe tie rhlne Is a joy for wnrm summer nights A I)all Fashion Talk by Florence Kose THC cool, dainty nightgown Is far more apprciintpd in the summer time than at anv other time of the jear, for during hot weather there aie few women who do not find a few min utes to slip into a nightgown for a short rest. When I went shopping this last week for a friend who desired some new nightgowns I. too, fell a victim to thp bpautips and loveliness of the present fashions in night gowns. Personal! I am not so much interest ed in the Ince-trimmed things, but those of beautiful materia! and cut do make me enious. 1 fought one to send away, cut on what is known as the Grecian robe stjle. There were no sleeves, bnt the fullness of the bod of the garment helped out for the sppcs. as far as protection to the arms went. The ma-' terial was a wonderful quality, for these dajs crepe de chine. The low, rounded neckline was bound with a bias band of ,1lnK satm nuout nn """ lu width, and hcie and these were French roses iu o 1 a deeper Miade in pink. The armholes were bound with satin in like mannpr. It was, indeed, erj simple, but so lovely. At the left of the drawing today Is one of these Grecian robes. In this instance the material is crepe de chine, embroidered on the upper part, and helcl in at the waist with the filet lace and the ribbon nt the front. The neck line and the armholes are also fiuislied with the hit t laip. Thp drawing at thp top shows a nightgown of satin mndp with a dropped arm piep and decorated with embroid er and tucks.

I hon estly didn't Intend to stay nway so long, but I've been rather busy here of late. That, nnd the hot weather, I offer as excuses', And when, during your daj's work, jou vainly strive to brush away lsions of a cool, inviting lake, nestled among the mountains; gentle breezes laden with t)ic smell of pine trees; wonderful moonlight nights and and and but what's the use? Visions and dreams were never known to satisfy on empty stomach and to eat we must work, it seems. "Happy," please nccept my sjmpa thy, admiration, best wishes and per,Uhlng. After writing that tet ter j on should be elected president. vice president nnd secretary of our club. It was great! I'd like to say n few words to the girls, in particular, every one in gen eral. (Heart-breakers please note). My subject Is, I think, one of the most vital things in the happiness of everj married couple' jet apparently it is the most neglected. To be brief, it's simply this: "The study of the man jou arc going to marry." No doubt jou hnve all read hundreds of times that most men are, at heart, nothing but babies. But have jou ever I stopped to figure just how much truth there Is in this statement? As a mat ter of fact, truer woids were never spoken. Now to prove it. When you first begin to think seri ously of some ceitalu man. do jou nt once start in to study his good and bad points, or do j on merely tnke everj -thing for gi anted and trust to love (and luck) to bring happiness? Sad to say, most of jou depend upon the latter. Result: divorce, or worse. Every man, if he's a real man. secretlj longs to have "the girl" make a fuss over him. Of course, he would rather die than admit it to anj one, Nevertheless it's true. Hut don't mis understand me. Thut doesn't rcean that the minute he enters the zoom you should drnpe jourself about him like a flag and remain there the rest of the evening, nor ask him every five minutes if he still love jou. Do the latter and jou won't keep him long. One of our popular authors has said that the best way to tell what kind of a man jou have is to hnd out from his mother what kind df a babj he was. If he was one who, j"us,t to look at him, made evpry woman stop and kiss him, thpn, continues this author, you may dcpi'nd upon it that his mother will keep up this practice even after he has grown to be a man. He will never be too big for her to make a fusa over him. Naturally, being used-to this, it's pnlj leasocable to suppose that he would not only expect but look for a continuation of this treatment from the girl he marries. Picture what it means to such a man to marrj a girl who can't understand nor satisfy this natural longing. Hut jou say, "Dick gets real angry if I muss his hair, or kisft him back of his car and the hundred nnd one other things I like to do to him." Of course, lie does.

He will probably sulk and tell you he Is Lthrough with all girls, etc. You Know the symptoms, at least you mothers do. Hut don't be fooled. Keep nt him and sooner or later he will ad mit that that was what he wanted nil along. What about It, girls? Don't you think it's worth while to consider 'this sub ject? It may mean a lifetime happi ness to try it out. And jou who hnve experienced this sort of thing, espe cially the mothers, haven't j-ou found It to be true? If so, perhaps jour Btory would be some help to the rest of ns. At nny rate, it r a better sub ject than "heart-breaking." IjnUTENANT B. Don't Drop Him Dear Cynthia Two weeks ago, when on my vacation at the shore, I met a joung man. We were not Introduced, but saw each other on the beach every morning, got to speaking nnd he took me on the piers several times. When we were returning to the city (he also lives in Philadelphia) he asked if he might call, and I said it would be all right. Now, Cynthia, I have thought the matter over, and concluded that It was a very wrong thing to do and would like to give him up. but find it Is very hard to do so, ns I care very much for hjm. Please tell me what to do. Shall I give him up? Have bojs any respect for girls thev pick up? SOMEBODY ELSE'S STENOG. If the joung man has done nothing to forfeit jour friendship there is no reason to drop him now.

' SOME HIN,TS ON MAKING PIN MONEY AT HOME There Must Be Demand for Your Work, You Must Know How to Do It, and Then Qouragc THE subject of pin money will always bo an absorbing one with women. Time after time the mall man brings letters that plead to be told how to make Rome extra pennies to make the house hold money go further, to save to send n boy to college or nny number of other equally noble purposes. One takes up the subject of making pin money or money at home gingerly, for so many women have admittedly failed; yet on the other hand so many hnve succeeded that It seems only fair to give some suggestions to those who are apt through perseverance' to be In cluded in tho latter 'class. Women have made money with little front porch tearooms where dainty sandwiches, cakes, chocolafc and iced tea nre sold. They have made money jierving a noonday meal for workers in the neighborhood, by selling school lunches all put up, by fixing up at tractive picnic lunches in the season. Other women have piled up neat little incomes through making hand-embroidered things for babies, by Initialing linens, by doing family mending a,ud Business w omens mending. There is a true story told of one girl who put herself through her senior year at col lege by mending and pressing other students' clothes and nt the end of that time her business was so prosperous that she hired two assistants and went in for the work permanently.

Jersey, marywma ami , Lilawar TTlir '' il1LUt'l' T AM not going to name the dozens of other ways in which ingenious wom en hnve made "pin money" because these are apt to suggest themselves to wideawake persons, and I wont a minute to say a word on the broad, gen eral rules that will, if nnythlng, Insure success. First, make sure that there Is a real need for the article you are planning to make and sell or the noon meals you would like to serve. Secondly, be sure you know how to do well what you are planning to do. A dissatisfied customer is a very poor advertiser and people always want their money's worth. Thirdly, provided your case compiles with these first two rules, re member that "Ilome was not built in a daj" In other words, realize that all of these successful pin money enter prises were the result of much faithful working, watching nnd waiting. Ta tience, which never, however, folds Its hands, nnd courage are the two prime requisites for success. Canvas Hats An unusual style recently innovated In sport hats is the hat of canvas, of a striking lemon color, trimmed with wheat or barley. It is undoubtedly a durable style, is not heavy or uncom fortnble to wear, and provides a satis factory shield from sun or rain.
