WOMAN’S PAGE
DON’T WHINE.
LICE GREENWOOD, writing to
her sex, says: ‘‘Don’t whine
—for the love of Heaven,
don’t whine! There is noth-
A
ing that so completely upsets a man
and makes him wish he’d bought a
dog instead of a marriage license!”
Alice is right, of course —don’t
whine, but the advice is just as good
for the man as the woman. Don’t
whine, Mr. Man. No matter who has
taken a kick at you down town, no
matter who has stuck a knife in your
ribs or put burrs under your saddle
or thrown salt in your eyes, don’t
whine!
What good does it do to whine?
It’s a mollycoddle trait, anyhow.
If you must swear, don’t, but if
you must swear anyhow, swear!
Don’t whine!
Go home and make home cheerful.
It's the only place in the world where
the world cannot sow tacks and
broken glass before your automo
bile. It’s the only haven you have
against the man who is after your
job or the iconoclast who is trying
to break up your business. It is your
nest—and when you whine, you de
file it! Keep it sweet and restful
and comfortable. Don’t whine there
yourself and don’t allow anyone else
to do it. If your wife perists in
making home like the wheat pit, stab
her with a bologna sausage and go
to prison for life as a matter of
choice.
These so-called homes that are
merely a rendezvous for a man and
his wife to whine at each other and
tell all their real and imaginary
troubles, are not homes at all in the
truer sense, and the sooner they are
broken up the better it will be for
the inmates.

Mrs. John Hay Gives to Yale Dor
mitory.
New Haven, Conn. —Announce-
ment is made by the Wright me
morial dormitory commission at Yale
university of a gift of $5,000 from
Mrs. John Hay, widow of the late

suite of rooms in the proposed dor

Dressmaker’s Form May Be Made at
Home.
The girl w’ho makes her own
clothes is ever in a state of despair
when it comes to getting them fitted
properly.
To begin with, take your hip and
bust measurement,. Then buy a form,
which costs about 50 or 60 cents.
This you want more for a foundation
than for its shape in itself; for, can
didly, its shape is its own, and no
more like that of a mortal being than
man is like the moon. In buying,
get according to the hip measure;
and do not buy one the hip measure
of which is larger than your own,
unless it is the smallest size made,
getting from one-half inch to one
THE JEFFERSONIAN
inch smaller. Always bear in mind
that you can fill out easier than you
can cut out.
Now have a tight-fitted basque lin
ing made; don’t mind how many
seams it has, and see that it fits you
just so from your neck down to the
point above mentioned. Carry the
shoulder line out to the very edge of
the arm, and if possible have it made
over as few clothes as possible in the
way of underskirts, etc.
After you have your sacque fitted
and the seams sewed up with a very
small machine stitch, proceed to fit it
over your form. Nine cases out of
ten it won’t fit; but that doesn’t mat
ter. By the time then you have fin
ished filling in you are liable to find
that the neck line of your new form
will be about two inches above that
of the foundation form, and the same
way with the waist line. In adjusting
this lining use the bust line of the
form as a guide. Buy about two rolls
of padding cotton, which costs about
5 cents a roll. You may not need
that much; you may need more.
Now* commence to fill in, not in big
pieces, but in little bits, so that your
lines will be smooth, packing in firm
ly but not too tightly. Take partic
ular note of any peculiarities you
may have, one shoulder higher than
the other, or one hip, or maybe one
side of the bust needs a little more
attention than the other. It is all a
question of judgment. Denver

* BORROWED RECIPES. t
As Good as Lard.
In these days of high priced lard,
save every bit of meat fat. Put all
kinds together, in any dish but a tin
one. When you have enough to
bother with, melt it together and
strain into another dish. I have one
for this special purpose, holding
nearly three quarts. Add a half cup
water and place over fire. When it
boils, remove it and fill up the dish
with cold water. Set away to cool.
Next day pour the water off. Repeat
the process for tw r o days. The last
time add no w r ater, but place on stove
until hot. Then add a sliced peeled
potato, cook until the potato is crisp.
Then strain into a pail. It is ready
for use. It is as good as lard or
cottolene for any cooking purpose.
A Dainty Dessert.
One cup cream whipped. Add %
pound marshmallow’s cut in quarters.
Let stand four or five hours. Just
before serving, sprinkle with chopped
English walnuts.
Serve with sauce made of 1 cup
sugar, % cup w’ine and % cup water.
To Protect Preserves.
Preserves should always be shield
ed from the light. An old window’
shade will answ’er. It should be
hung exactly as it would at the win
dow and, when drawn, will effectu
ally darken the shelf.
English Cherry Jani.
Make a syrup with four pounds of
sugar and two cupsful of water. Re
move any scum that rises, then put
in four pounds of stoned cherries,
one pound of almonds that have been
blanched and shredded, two cupsful
of currant juice and half a teaspoon
ful of almonu extract. Cook slowly,
stirring often, until the jam is as
thick as desired. Delicious.
Cheese Souffle.
Cook Vs cupful of soft bread
crumbs with 1 cupful of hot milk to
a smooth paste; add 1 cupful of grat
ed cheese, and when this melts add
the yolks of 2 eggs well beaten, and
a dash of pepper. When the egg is
slightly thickened, remove from the
fire and let it cool a little, then fold
in the whites, stiffly beaten. Fill but-
tered serving dishes and bake in
moderate oven about 15 minutes.
Serve instantly.
Chocolate Pie.
One heaping tablespoonful of co
coa, a cupful of granulated sugar, ¥2
cupful of warm water, 1 dessert
spoonful of corn starch and the yolks
of 3 eggs. Mix sugar, corn starch
and cocoa together dry, then add the
egg yolks, beaten light, and the
water; mix all thoroughly and bake
in under crust only. When done take
from the oven and spread over it a
meringue made from the three egg
whites and three tablespoonsful of
sugar; return to the oven and brown.
Prune Pie.
Take 1 pound of best prunes, wash
thoroughly and, after soaking for
several hours, cook until soft, and
then add about a half a cupful of
sugar to the sirup after the prunes
have been taken out. Split open the
prunes and carefully extract the pit
and insert the meat of an English
walnut and close the prune again.
Make a rich pie crust and lay the
prunes in and cover with the sirup
thickened with flour. After the pie.
is baked and perfectly cold cover
with whipped cream and serve.
Individual Strawberry Shortcake.
These are delightful for tea, made
like baking powder biscuit and slight
ly sweetened. Roll out an inch thick,
cut in diamonds, squares or circles
and bake in hot oven. When done
break open—never cut —put between
them mashed and sweetened berries
(canned ones will do), buttering the
biscuit first, if preferred. Put on
top of each little shortcake more of
the mashed berries with one or two
large berries cut in halves, sprinkled
with powdered sugar, and, if wished,
crown each with a spoonful of
whipped cream.
Italian Cream.
Put 1 ounce of soaked gelatine, 6
ounces of sugar, 1 teaspoonful of va
nilla, and 1 pint of milk into a sauce
pan, boil slowly, and stir all the time
until the gelatine is dissolved. Strain
the mixture, and when a little cool
BETTER THAN SPANKING

home treatment, with full instructions.
Send no money, but write her today if
your children trouble you in this way.
