When the dress is of thin material | the pin tucks are allowed to show on the right side, but when the material is heavy they are Inverted, being taken on the wrong. This mode of adjusting the fullness at the waist in dresses is French in origin. Parisi frocks frequently bear this touch. is nice to know that it can be put on at home, and with a small amount of trouble. Likewise may the fit of the shoulder seams be improved. A dress too long over the shoulder loses something in style that can easily be regained if the shoulder Is made shorter. Pin tucks again serve the purpose.

Concordia Patties. Broil one pound of hamburg steak, season with salt and pepper, and run through the meat chopper. Peel one- fourth pound of mushrooms and chop arsely, then add one-half a teaspoonful of salt, and cook for five minutes in two tablespoonfuls of but- ter, stirring frequently. Add the meat and two cupfuls of highly seasoned tomato sauce, which has been thick- ened with one tablespoonful of butter and one tablespoonful of flour blended together. Tomato soup thinned may be used. Make a rich baking powder dough, roll a quarter of an inch thick, cut in rounds or ovals with a scalloped cutter, and bake in pairs, brushing the lower halves with melted butter. Brush the tops with butter when removed from the oven. Lay on a hot serving dish, fill with the meat mixture, pour more around them, and garnish with parsley. Sliced and Baked Bananas. Very ripe bananas should be chosen. Those with almost black skins being | preferable. Before slicing for the older children and adults scrape deli- | cately with a silver spoon or back of | a siiver knife to remove the astringent | principle. For the runabout the ba- | nana is best baked in the skin. This | renders the starchy part more digest- | tole. “Do not, however, add sugar or | butter to the baked banana, as 1is sometimes done. Cheese Pudding. There are numerous possible varia- | tions of this. Grated cheese may be combined with bread crumbs and egg or with egg alone, according to ma- terials on hand. Perhaps the most at- | tractive cheese pudding is made by separating the whites from the yolks of the eggs, grating the cheese very | fine and stirring it through a hot | custard made of milk and the yolks of | the eggs, folding in the beaten whites.

The bedrooms are rather small, but additional sleeping quarters are pro- vided when needed by the two wall beds which let down into the living room and another which lets down onto the creened front porch. The porch side is toward the lake with the windows of the breakfast room, living room and one bedroom overlooking 1t. The living room has windows and doors at each end €0 that the lake breeze has a clean sweep through, and each of the other rooms has cross ventilation. / There is a dish cupboard between the breakfast room and the kitchen and clothes closets off each of the bed rooms. The living room fireplace placed so that the heat of its chim- ney warms both bedrooms during chilly weather. (Copyright. 1925.)
