Mashed Potato. ~ There is one essential thing to remember about mashed potato which we so univers- ally serve: it is that it must.not- be allowed to stand after it has been" mashed and seasoned. It loses all its quality by so doing. Siotrue is this that thousands of peopfi‘dornot, know ,what true mashed pfiato is. If it must be prepared beforehand:- pack it into a hot earthen dish, brush the top with butter or egg. and put into the oven for ten min- utes. A tablespoon of cream to each two potatoes and an ounce of butter to four medium potatoes seasons them well, with the salt and perhaps pepper. It is best to have the cream hot. or hot milk may be used instead with a little more but- ter. Potatoes Baked and Stuffed. -â€" Potatoes prepared in a little differ- ent way from those sometimes put in to bake with a roast, in the last hour, may be done as follows. Peel as many potatoes of medium size as are needed. making them egg shap- ed or pyramidal. or in any form you please. Cut all one end so that they will stand and make them with the roast- or by themselves. When done out off the top. dip out the pulp. mesh. and season; refill the pots; toe-s, put on caps or part cut oil, set in oven ten minutes, and then pour some melted butter over them before serving. Butter, cream, and egg yolk may be used to season the l inside and some finely chopped meat or bacon and some chopped mushâ€" room may be added. These may be made a. decorative garnish. . Potato Noisrttcs. Noisetru means nut, a hazel nut. and vege table noisettes are little vegetable-I Spheres the siZe of a hazel nut cut out witha tiny scoop or round spoon cutter. One advantage of these is that- they may be cooked: quickly and are deCorative. The cooking may be done in ten or. twelve minutes.

Cooked in plain salted water and served in a little hot cream they are delicious. but cannot so well be used as a garnish. Small onions will cook from twenty minutes to half an hour as follows : Remove the thin paper skin so as to leave them as comely as possible, cover with a little cold water or meat stock, boil up, then cover cooking veSSel close- ly. and finish over the simmering burner. The steam generated helps to cook them better than in an open vessel. -.Potatocs a la Brabanconne. â€"â€" Cook one-half onion sliced.

Will Drakc‘s drum be beaten now for the third time? In the great hall at Buckland Abbey in Devonâ€" siiire. a. few miles from Plymouth:â€" the ancestral home of the family of Sir Francis Drakeâ€"etherc hangs an ancient drum of a pattern not known these hundred years. It is the famous drum of the great Eng-. li-sh sea fighter, his companion throughout this whole adventurous care-er. It beat the signals on his flagship when be scattered the Spanish Armada; it went with him on the first British ship that went round the world. and it sounded the taps when. after his death at sea in the West Indies, his body was com.- mitted to the waters of the Atlan- tic Ocean. When Drake lay dying, so runs the tradition, he commanded his brother, who was a. captain of one of the ships in the British fleet, to take his drum back to England. and hang it in his hall at Buckland Abbey. Whenever danger threatâ€" ened Britain let them sound on that drum. and his spirit. would enter into the British admiral and scatter his country's foes as he had done in the days gone by. His brother did as he was commanded, and afâ€" ter three centuries the drum'still hangs in Backhand Abbey. which is now in the possession of a descend- ant of Drake's brother. Twice. runs the legend, has the drum been soundedfiand not in vain; once, in the. generation after Drake‘s death, when the Dutch sought to wrest the control of the seas from the. British, and the doughty Admiral van Tromp sailed up the British Channel with a broom at his masthead. to signify that he would sweep the English from the ocean. At its sound the spirit of Drake entered into Adâ€" miral Blake, who triumphcd over the conquering Dutch. Again, when the genius . of Napoleon threatened the very existence of the British Empire, thc drum was ant mated the greatest of English sea fightersâ€"Admiral Nelson. And now. when Britain is inâ€" volved in the greatest war of her history. it. is said that Drake‘s drum will again bc soundedâ€"to raise up, if the legend be true, the‘ spirit of the old captain for the: The old tradition is the l subjcct of a. poem by an English,1 writcr.

A pink chiffon blouse has a high lace collar for all the world like the oldâ€"fashioned lace collars that used to be wired up under oiir ears and fastened with banks in the backâ€"two decided differences. Inâ€" stead it is fastened in the front and it is loose enough to stand up with- out wires. It is edged with fur and SQ are the fronts of the pink chiffon blouse, and the fur is put on with it band of narrow black silk braid. It is decidedly smart. this use of fur and braid together. The skirt scalloped about the edge is an accepted thing nuw, and it is as attractive as it is usual. It breaks the full line about the ankles and makes the shorter skirt. less ab' rupt in its ending. Short Eton effects of lace 4:11 chifâ€" ,fon blouses are decidedly becoming. The little jackets usually fall over a girdle of some decided shade â€" orange, green or bright blue velvet. Wide silk braid is noticeable on many of the new Frenclh importa- tions. Sometimes it is used for belts, drawn through straps of the fabric of the frock, sometimes it is used for patch pockets. It is form- ed into upstanding collars and deep cuffs, and it even forms the edge of tunic-s and of the foundation skirts beneath them. Black velvet ribbon is one of the minor features of the fashion: Sometimes it is worn about the throat, tied in a bow, with a. long end or loop reaching to be caught in another bow on the [mat of the bodice. For a child there are seal and hat sets. trimmed with red or pink rosesâ€"one on the hat, one on the muff. both bright and cheerful. There are many sleeves of white net. rather full, gathered into a narrow wristband in dark serge and satin bodices. These give a. touch of daintiness that is essential in woman’s dress. Leaves are twisted, one stern about another, around the crown of a black velvet Spanish sailor hat.

He was a new recruit. and the first day of parade he was mustered up along with a batch of other re- cruit-s to do drill. “Attention,” thundered the sergeant. “Shoul- der arms!

The sergeant was mad with rage. and going up to the new recruit. caught him by the neck and shook him. asking if he was deaf. “No, sir." came the answer.
