\K?offler) Epicurean Episodes m By DOROTHY DIX. ™ Among the most popular hors d'oeuvres Is Deviled Mother-ln-Law. Indeed, although this dish is highly Indigestible and certain to disagree with every one who partakes of it, It practically forms the staple diet of moat famlllee, where It Is not only served at the beginning of a meal, but also at the end and frequently through the middle. There are fifty-seven different va rieties of Deviled Mother-ln-Law, each household having its own cherished receipt, and each a little more acid and vinegary and full of pep than the other. Not only Is this the case, but men and women vie with each other In concocting: this savory relish until It is hard to say whether the husband or the wife is the greater artist In its manufacture. Hence it Is not at all uncommon to see two Deviled Moth ers-in-Law served up at the same table at the same time. Strictly speaking, Deviled Mother ln-Law is a family dish, especially when It is particularly highly sea soned, but occasionally It Is passed around to guests and acquaintances. This, however, is not good form. Deviled Mother-ln-l-aw, like ripe watermelon, should only be partaken of In the privacy of the home circle. Good taste demands this. Also, It is to be observed that one of the peculiarities of this plate is that while we all have an insatiable appetite for the Deviled Mother-in- Law of our own make, we do not in the least care for that prepared by our friends, and a very little of it satiates us and palls upon our palate. To .obtain a Mot!,«r-ln-Law for deviling it is never necessary to either buy It or to go out and hunt for one yourself. It is always wished MOTHER OF SCHOOL GIRL Tens How Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Re stored Her Daugh ter's Health.

MONDAY EVENING, upon you, and whatever kind you get you are sure to think that It is the very worst that ever happened, and you would have preferred any other known variety. Occasionally a man undertaken to make a confection of his Mother-ln- Uw by stowing It down In a syrup of sweet words and loving attentions and sugary compliments. This Is never done unless the Mother-ln-Law belongs to the species known as the Rich Widow, which Is simply bulging with money. The result* in such cases are said to be so highly satisfactory that the men who cook up Mother-ln-Law In this way are enabled to knock oft all other work, and to ride In automo biles, and drink vintage wine, and live on lobster Newburg and planked steaks, and only use Mother-in-Law as a sweetener. So far as Is known, women have no knack at preparing any variety of sweetened Mother-ln-Law, and never try their hands at anything but devil ing it. As a matter of fact, men sel dom attempt It either, for It seems to be the consensus of opinion that to do anything but pickle a Mother-ln-Law is as unnatural as it is to make soup out of buttermilk, or to put sugar on flsh, or pepper on strawberries. Some people commit these gastronomic crimes, but they show a queer and exotic taste. To devil a Mother-ln-Law man style, take the Mother-in-Law that you have unconsciously acquired by marriage, and give it the once over to see where the tender spots are. It is sure to have a few sensitive places that you can discover by a little care ful study.

Of course you can do this much more thoroughly If your Mother-ln-Law Is always handy about the house, but with persistence you can turn out a neat Job even when Mother-ln-Law is far away. Then you can give It absent treatment, which serves every purpose. Having carefully prepared Mother ln-Law, make a Bauce as follows; Take a ton of criticism, the more acid the better; a barrel of ridicule, a bushel of assorted prejudices, and an unlimited amount of determination not to be bossed by the wife's mother. Dissolve all of these in plenty of temper, and steep the Mother-ln-Law in It until It becomes sour enough to set your teeth on edge. Serve this dish with a garnish of sneers and jeers and cold looks and frozen faces. Deviled Mother-ln-Law a la Bonne Femme is prepared much in the same way 1 . Women, however, always begin making this dish by separating the Mother-in-Law from the son it adores. This breaks its heart and makes it .easy to pickle. Having thus prepared the Mother-ln-Law for the pickling process, the housewife submerges it In a sauce the basis of which is jeal ousy, but to which have been added equal parts of temper, nerves, stingi ness and malice. Add no salt to this mixture, as the tears of the Mother in-Law make it sufficiently briny. Let the Mother-in-Law soak in this mix ture until it acquires the desired pep pery flavor. Deviled Mother-in-Law is highly recommended as a hot weather dish, as It is guaranteed to send the tem perature of any table nbout vfhich It Is freely passed down to z£ro. THE FAVORITE MIDDY IN GUISE A New Model With the Fashionabh Belted Effect. By MAY MAN TON I 8727 Middy Blouse for Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18 years. The belted middy is a new one of the •eason._ Here, it is made of white linen with trimming of the awning stripes that make Buch an important feature of sum mer fashions. The belt confines the ful ness slightly and is buttoned into place, so that the garment can be drawn over the head without difficulty. Thecombina tion of a striped material with a plain one is one of the best liked of the season, but trimming always can be varied and just now we are wearing middies of color as well as of white and the colored linens galateas and the like are singularly attractive. If the sleeves are cut in elbow length, they are finished with rolled over cuffs; when they are long, they are finished with cuffs joined to the lower edges, but in both cases the cuffs are straight and consequently are adapted to striped materials. l or the 16 year size will he needed 3 yds. of material 27 in. wide, 3 vds. 36, yds. 44, with 1 yd. 27 for the trimming.

HAVE GREAT CROP State Department of Agriculture Reports Show Big Yields in Almost Every Line HESSIAN FLY WAS BAD Peach Crop Not as Badly Damaged as Feared—Turkeys Fewer in Number Now Tn nplte of the unfavorable weather conditions, insect pests, fruit tree reau of Agricultural Statistics for the Minlit and other drawbacks Pennsyl vania will have rifrht sizable crops this year. Reports made to the State Bu last month show that the crops will be of an extent which would have been considered very tine ten years ago. al though by contrast with the extraordi nary yields of last year they will not show up so well. For instance. It is stated that the wheat crop was damaged only five per cent, by the Hessian fly which was very troublesome in the Lebanon valley and in Berks county, but not as bad in Montgomery, Chester and other counties as it was in 1914. The fly was reported in counties in this section along with about thirty others. It Is believed that the loss from the fly will be only half as great as a year ago. The harvest was later than usual this year, ranging from July 6 tn south ern counties to July 20 in the north ern tier. Estimates on the oats crop made by L. H. Wible, chief of the bureau from the reports show that 1,105,000 acres were set out and that the production will be about 83.5 bushels per acre and that the total will run close to 37,017,- 500 bushels, an increase of five million bushels over 1914. Corn stands at 94 per cent, com pared with a ten-year average early In August and the production this year is estimated at 37 bushels per acre or a total of 56,314,000 bushels, a drop of almost 2,000,000 bushels as compared with 1914. Weather, frosts and pests have injured the crop in some counties. An acreage of 277,200 as Riven for buckwheat, slightly leas than last year with a possibility of 19.8 bushels, per acre or a total of 5,448,500 bushels. Reports show that the area planted to tobacco is 95 per cent, of last year, or 31,500 acres with a probable pro duction of 44,305,000 pounds against 4 7,9 95,000 last year. The crop condition is 97 per cent, of an average for ten years. Hay acreage is given as 3,015,000 acres with a prospect of 1.18 tons per acre. Last yeai the production was 4.020,000 tons. Potato production is estimated at 24,493,000 bushels, which will be above the acreage, but not as great as last year. The production per acre is esti mated at 8 9.6 bushels. Detailed Information on the fruit crops is that in addition to there be ingtheusual shortage of a crop follow ing a heavy year such as 1914 late frosts, lire blight, high winds and hail, caterpillars and other pests damaged the fruit. The crop will run consider ably below normal yields. Peaches are reported the most advanced, the condition of the crop being 77 of an average for ten years at this time; apples 60 per cent: pears 58 per cent., having been hard hit by blight; plums 70 per cent. Fair crops of berries were reported. The number of turkeys reported is 83 per cent, of an average and the condition 90 per cent., wet weather having interfered with the growth.
