SOME CORNl
Chicken Canapes.—Fry round slices
of white bread, or toast them dell
cately, and then top each with a lit-*
tie minced chicken and sauted mush-
rooms, seasoning delicately with salt,
cayenne and butter. Set in the oven
for five minutes and serve hot. The
drumsticks of a large roast chicken
*nd six mushrooms would make half
a dozen of these delectable bites. If
the chicken is dry. mix it with a little
fresh cream or olive oil.

anchovies to a smooth paste with a
little butter and season wtth cayenne
and lemon juice. Spread the paste on
thin strips of hard toast about two
inches wide, then sprinkle them with
hard boiled egg. chopped* almost to a
powder. These are delicious supper
bites.
Caviar Canapes.—Mix caviar to a
~ream with lemon Juice and spread
on thin strips of buttered toast. Sprin-
kle the bread in even rows with chop-
ped bard boiled egg and minced onion,
adding a dust of salt and cayenne. An-
other way is put a ring of onion on
the bread and then drop a slice or two
of hard boiled egg Inside.
Mayonnaise Canapes. -Spread rounds
of fried bread very thinly with an-
chovy paste and then cover with may-
onnalse. to which have been added
'hopped capers, olives and onion,
••■verve cold, and garnish the dish with
' frees.
Hash Canapes. -Put a little ham or
tongue with beef or mutton and chop
almost to a paste. Add one tomato
and a green pepper and season highly
*lth 'ayonne; only h«-at the mixture

cnts have hitherto been cooked, and
serve on slices of hot buttered toast.

in the house may always be added to
a meat hash, fish excepted.
Liver Canapes.—Saute thinly sliced
calf's liver In butter, not cooking it
too much; season with salt and black
pepper. Then fry a little thinly-sliced
bacon. Put the liver, cut In narrow

ALMOST over-night, some fashions
and fads become a furore, and
it seems as If every woman,
from Maine to California, wants
one particular kind of hat, or shoe, or
feather at the same moment, if the
j object of this sudden fancy is within
easy reach (that is. if its price is low)
Its popularity is brief, because any
! idea becomes tiresome from too much
( repetition. But if the thing, which
| finds itself suddenly in brisk demand,
can only be secured iiF limited quanti-
ties, its price is likely to soar for many
weekt or even months.
This is the case with the beautiful
paradise feather which women have
long admired. A spray of a few pre-
cious feathers, mounted in a pompon
of ostrich or marabout, used to be
considered an achievement very well
worth while. Extravagantly inclined
rich peoplo might Indulge in a whole
paradise bird occasionally. Then
came th« day when the whole hat
crown was encircled with a wreath of
paradise sprigs, and now has dawn-
ed the morning when hat crowns are
partially lost sight, of, enveloped in
an airy cloud of floating, graceful, in-
comparably fine plumage
Miss Gaby Deslys showed how many
feathers could be worn on one head-
dress. But one should not forget that
the stage requires exaggeration in
styles and its standards are to be fol-
lowed at some distance, as a rule.
I ho price of paradise plumage is
soaring. She who owns it should use
it while the furore is on. It Is very
likely to be even In greater demand
this fall, and Is one of the safe Invest-
ments In millinery, for it will never
be wholly out of style. Many women
accumulate a paradise spray by bpy-
lng a few feathers each season, Anally-
making up a large cluster. It Is best
to buy the natural color where this
course Is pursued. They are very
beautiful and they can be successfully
cleaned.

To Keep Flatirons From Rusting.
To keep flatirons from rusting whed
exposed to dampness, melt paraffin to
the depth of half an Inch in pans
large enough to hold two or more
irons. Wait until It Is nearly cold
and then put the Irons In. In that
way they will not sink to the bottom
of the pan. Irons treated in this man-
ner have not rusted when left six
months in a closed house.
In case you have no paraffin, greas-
ing the irons thickly and wrapping
them in newspapers will serve the
same purpose.
Stuffed Ham.
Select a freshly cured ham and
have bone removed. Pill cavity with
stuffing made of bread crumbs, tie up
securely and Inclose ham in a peste
of flour and water to keep Juice from
escaping. Tie in a pudding bag or
cloth, have ready a pot of Loilins? wa-
ter and let ham boil slowly about two
hours. When boiled sufficiently, re-
move the crust, pare skin ofT careful-

are of sheer white plaited net. White
buckskin colonial pumps accompany

Is of cerise.
Girls Men Hate.
Men may laugh and joke with the
girl who tries to be "manly," but they
never want to marry her.
Men heartily dislike girls who nag
and scold; they want to run a mile
from them Men may be sorry for
painfully shy girls, but these do not
appeal to them They make them feel
awkward and bashful themselves. Men
avoid girls who are always saying
spiteful things about other girl*
Men hate untidy, slovenly girls, with
badly brushed hair and a crooked
waist line.
Men fight shy of dull, discontented
girls; the bright, sunny ones get all
their attention.
That la, In the Latest Designs It
Agrees With the Millinery Ac-
companying It.
If the very decorative possibilities
of the parasol have been overlooked
of late, the warm weather has made
the fact clear that a parasol adds the
last note of distinction to a dress. Ev-
ery one interested In dress comments
upon the varied designs of this sum*
mer s parasols and upon the amusing
way In which each one agrees with
the shape of the hat that is worn.
When feathers tower above the
crown of the chapeau the parasol
carried has an obliging cupola crown,
and if the millinery is of a spreading
character then when the parasol Is
opened It Is seen that it is Japanese-
like in its flat aspect.
Lace posed upon chiffon or veiled
with tulle Is a combination of mate-
rials of acknowledged elegance for the
sunshade, and it not infrequently hap-
pens that a trail of moussellne flow-
ers Is posed Inside the parasol, per-
chance to coincide with the trimming
of the hat or with the flowers that
decorate the gown.
Of freak handles there are always a
certain number, and one of tl^> quaint-
est is the cuckoo clock. Press a
spring and the doors of the cuckoo
clock fly open and the cuckoo appears
on the threshold. He Ib a silent bird,
for his trick begins and ends with
the little performance already de-
scribed.
Sewing On Braid.
Braid should be sewed on by taking
a long stitch on the back and a very
tiny atltch on the right side directly
through the braid and down again.
Be careful to hold the material
smoothly over the finger. Kwp the
braid straight and firm and turn all
corners sharply. You will find when
using soutache that you can work
more rapidly and keep the braid
straight more easily if you use an
embroidery frame.
Placing Holes for Buttons.
When buttoning or unbuttoning a
garnif-nt. forcing the buttons across
tho width of the hole will soon tear
out tho latter. For this reason but-
tons with only two holes are better
than those with four and should be
placed
