If you adopt the following plans and suggestions your St. Valentine day party will cost you very little money and take little time to prepare. First: | buy some red cardboard and cut out different sizes of hearts. Save even the tiny scraps: you may need some very small hearts. If the hearts are to be festooned on'the walls or used as portieres, paper is as good as card- | board. If you wish to use the hearts for portieres: fasten them with pins or paste them to narrow strips of muslin. | Table Centerplece and Refreshments. A large heart cut from red paper land edged with tiny white hearts makes a pretty centerpiece for the ta- i ble, and plate and tumbler doilies can be made from the same material and | {in the same shape. Cut out tiny red hearts with which to outline the | dishes on the table or to scatter over the cloth. For refreshments there are many | | things that can be scrved in heart- | shaped dishes.

If butter is serv- {ed, that can be molded into little ihearts. A large cake, iced in white with a border of red hearts, makes a pretty decoration. Cover the cake smoothly with plain boiled icing, and then, before it sets very hard, mark it around the edge with a heart-shaped cooky cutter. Color some of the icing red. and with a cornucopia of white paper outline the hearts. Use enough of the icing so that the little hearts will stand up. Valentine Gifts and Cards. Any kind of a heart-shaped trifle will serve for a Valentine day gift. A little heart-shaped apron of white lawn, edged with dainty lace, is in it- self a valentine that is both useful and attractive.

When the candy has cooled, take it off the saucer, turn it over, and you you will have a candy saucer. A row of little hard candies will finish the edges prettily. In the saucer serve ice cream in bricks. A cup, in which home-made ice cream may be served, can be as easily made by shaping the candy over a tiny bowl. To make attractlve receptacles called “fruit wells,” bake any good cake mixture in gem pans, and when cold remove the center—oi the cake, spread the remaining top with vanilia frosting, fill the cavity with freshly cut fruit, arrange on a bed of ferns and serve with sweetened whipped cream. Banana ice cream served in lady- finger cases makes a pretty dish. To make the cases, dip the sides of the required number of lady-fingers in a soft white icing, which will keep them together when they are placed side by side. Arrange them around a bowl. " Tie a soft yellow ribbon around all to hold them in place, and remove the bowl when the icing has hardened sufficiently for the case to retaln its shape. If the refreshments are to be served at a Washington's | birthday party. tie with ribbons in the coloniai colors of bluc and gold, or the patriotic colors of red. white and blue. Pistachio cream and green rib- _bon would make it appropriate for a St. Patrick’s day party. “Peach surp: is a refreshing dainty that is easily prepared. Put halves of jce-cold canned peaches to- gether with a filling of whipped cream and chopped walnuts; top cach with a whole nut meat and serve with fancy cakes. Mint-stick ice cream is very deli- cate. It is made from one quart of cream, half a pound of mint-stick candy and the whites of two eges. Whip one pint of cream and the whites of the eggs: then mix thor- oughly with the remaining cream. in which the candy has been dissolved. Freeze and serve in glasses with a zarnish of candied violets and finely chopped candied mint leaves, or daco- rate with little pink and green mints. Making Your Own Lamp Shades. With the single exception of window valances of cretonne or silk. 1 be'ieve there is nothing that gives a house a “homey” look as auickly as a pretty and harmonious silk lamp shade. = The woman whose living room lamp or drop- light is severely shaded in frosted glass or china (these shades have their uses— both receiving and inflicting injus tice. i New Way to Bake Ham. !

HOME _ECONOMICS. BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT.

Without this knowledge they cannot buy intelli- have large hearts with dainty figures or verses on them. They can be cut out and used for different purposes. A few leaves of court plaster fastened between two of the hearts—to repair a heart that may be broken—makes an amusing gift. An attractive pjn ball can be made with an extra heart cut. from light felt or flannel and pasted between two fancy hearts from a post card. A simple valentine that combines a bit of humor -with the sentiment of the day can basmade by decorating a little card of white or gray with hearts and Cupide and printing the following verse on it: This rose is biue. This violet red: For canse of you I've lost my head. Paint a deep blue rose after the first line and a brilliant red violet after the second. Good Games to Play. If you play games that require the choosing of partners, tear hearts in two and distribute the pieces among the guests. The hearts that match will, of course, indicate the partners, To vary the old donkey game, have | two large figures outlined on paper, | one of a girl, the other of a boy. The boys. blindfolded, in turn, endeavor to pin a red heart on the figure of the girl, and the girls, also blindfolded, try to put the boy's heart in place. In another game red cardboard SN s s sl e soothing harmoniousness. Why not make these artistic shades ourselves? They are expemsive if pur- chased ready-made, but not if made bv our own hands out of remnants of silk we already have. Some women make them out of portions of worn-out silk dresses; others use faded silk cushion tops turned about, or parts of a_ dis- carded silk curtain. And one clever woman of my acquaintance used an old ‘white silk petticoat which she had dyed old-rose ! The first step in amateur shademak- ing is to secure a wire frame. These may be bought at large department stores, but to my mind it is’ better to have one hand-made by a tinsmith. For the cheap frames that one buys ready- made do not have flattened joints; that is, the round wire is not flattéened down wherever it crosses over—as it shquld be. Another argument for having “the frame made by a tinsmith is that one can have it the exact size one wants. The best way is to take’the lamp to the tinsmith (if it is not too large) and let him use it as a guide in making the shade-frame. After procuring the wire frame. the next step is to wind it all over with a strip of silk the same color as the lining; this stripsshould be about one inch wide, and where it is necessary to piece it one should make a bias seam. ‘And now comes the question of the kind of shade-covering—shirred or plain?

Home candy making has been revo- lutionized by the discovery that com- mon vegetables can be used as a basis for confections that heretofore have been made only from high-priced in- gredients, often difficult to obtain. These facts are of special interest to mothers, for the fancy candies that are 80 attractive to children can be made at home. Each of the following recipes shows a principle that can be applied to many other well known candies be- sides the particular confection de- scribed. Mocha Walnuts.—To the yolk of one eg8. beaten to a cream, add one tea- spoonful of coffee extract and one- half cup of white potato, bolled, drained and forced through a sieve. Gradually stir in confectioners’ sugar until the mass can be made into soft balls. Flatten them, press walnut kernels into them and spread them to dry. If you wish to pack them, dip them into a crystal cooked to 220 de- grees. DIpping them again after let- ting them dry for a day insures a good surface and keeps the cream from drying out. Ralsin Creams—Mold some potato fondant like that described above into balls, flatten them and place a sesded raisin on each side of each ball. Cook a sirup to 228 degrees and keep it warm. Into it dip the fondant bails, one by one. Dry them on racks. Ord nary bonbon cream, flavored and col- ored to suit the fancy, can, of course, be substituted for the potato fondant if you prefer it. made simply by gathering at top and bottom a long plece of silk the same width as the shade is deep and pin- ning this gathered strip at intervals around the frame; distribute the gathers evenly between the pins, then sew the gathered strip to the binding on the wire, cutting off any edges that may stick out above or below the frame. be raw edges at top and bottom of the frame, and these raw edges must now_be covered with some kind of trimming—either a gold braid or a narrow shirred strip of the same silk that covers the frame. A lining must now be sewed on the inside of the frame. If the frame-maker has not enough silk for a shirred covering and must have, therefore, a plain one, she had better try to carry out this plan: Make paneis of the silk as wide as the space between each two vertical wires of the frame; run a piece of braid (or other trimming) up each seam that joins these panels; have an_interlining of some pretty figured an interlining of some prefly Teure At this stage there will| lovely woman’s apparel.
