CRATING THE TURKEY.
Buyers are often surprised at the
style in which so called turkey ex-

at the cruelty practiced or because
they must pay extra express on clum-

The summer resort hotels are a
lucrative market for green ducklings.
They cater to a bon ton trade with
money to burn, and their guests ere
a good advertisement for the business,
for on their return from the shore they
never get done quacking about those
ducks that melt in the mouth.
It is soon discovered by the fellow
that switches from the hen to the in-
cubator that chicks hatched and hov-
ered by hens can eat and digest almost
anything, while incubator chicks easi-
ly get indigestion. This weakness of
artificial chicks should be met by mod-
erate feeding and plenty of exercise.

RECIPE FROM CRESCENT CITY
One of the Novelties Deviied by •
Clever Woman Who Is Always
Thipking Up Something New In Rib•
tone—When the Pienel• Soares
liy Dear Elsa—i am feeling scrappy
today. Now, dear, don't get frighten-
ed and jump to the conclusion that I
am going to tread on the toes of all
your pet hobbles or make myself of-
ficiously obnoxious, fur l'w not going
to do anything of the sort. My pro-
nouncement merely means .that I'm
in a conversationally scrappy state of
mind. You know the mental attitude
—when Ideas dart In and out in a
jumbled hodgepodge fashion. You re-
member how our English teacher used
to call my mind a scrap bug affair,
don't you? Well, it reverts to type
every now and then, and today is one
of the news and thens.
For the first scrap—haven't you heard
people say, "Oh, I simply can't eat
pork or olive oil,' whichever the case
may be?
And haven't you known them to sit
down and eat at another's dinner table
nod enthusiastically announce their
delight In the delicious morsels --dis-
guised by a clever hostess, who smiles
In her sleeves?
Now, really, haven't you done these
things yourself? Most of us do hug a
pet dislike to our- bosoms when we
would be very much better off with-
out it.
I had an amusing instance of this
at my own table recently. Mrs.
Van A., a dinner guest of mine, was
•
FIRS DI•H OP RIBBON,
horrified when Dorothy D., another
est, mentioned the fact of liking a
Wight flavoring of garlic about certain
lashes. Mrs. Van A. bristled up 1m-
tnedlately, saying she never could en-
dure the odor, much less the taste, of
Rhe horrid things. And the joke was,
IBOisa, that at the time of the conversa-
tion she was eating my prize soup.
Which owed much of Its zest to the
flavor of garlic. And, best of all, she
begged pardon for her breach of eti•
Quetta and asked for a second helping
pt "that delicious soup." Wasn't It
too lovely?
But all our pet dislikes are not con-
tned to eatables. I know that some-
ime" I take a perfectly unreasonable
atred to a person In whom I am pos-
Itively sure I could find charming
qualities if I would only look for
Them.
This does not indicate strength of
t'haracter, as so many of us fondly im-
aglne, but a decided manifestation of
Weakness and one that requires a
Whole heap of will power to overcome.
Now for scrap No. 2—apple pralines.
bon't you love them? And in New
Orleans they make the best in the
iworld, so I am going to pass along the
Peelpe for them given to me yesterday
14 a woman visiting here in New York
from the Oreecent fifty.
These apple pralines, as you know,
are a French preparation made by
combining almonds and currant jelly
with apples as follows: Peel and core
six apples. Have four ounces of gran-
ulated sugar and a pint and a halt of
water In a saucepan and an soon as it
comes to the boiling point add the
fruit and cook It for fifteen minutes
'very gently, so that it will not break.
Turn the apples with a skimmer occa-
sionally so that they will cook evenly
on all sides. On removing them drain
them upon a cloth sod Ick them cool
toff. Blanch two ounces of almonds,
drain, peel and mince them and then
pat them into a copper basin with
three ounces of granulated sugar, halt
a gill of water and • teaspoonful of
vanilla essence. Stir the mixture with
• wooden spoon for half • minute.
Place It on • brisk flu and stir con-
tinually until It to a nice golden color.
Then remove from the fire. Arrange
the apples on a deep, pretty plate, All

spread the almond preparation over
(hem, then serve. Just to write about
them makes my mouth water They

A music los lug mother who hoped
to see her children develop Into mu -
steal geuulse* told me yesterday that
not only her hole, but the hopes of
many other mothers she knew, bad
been blasted by the attractions of the
pianola. Children, she explained, who
had shown quite a talent for music,
rebelled outright against further study
when a pianola became the property
of a neighbor. "What's the use of
practicing," they would argue, "when
we can make the machine play the
tune with our feet?" And, though
mothers' hopes may be blasted and
neighborhoods may suffer from the
number of plaudits going at once on
still summer nights, the days will be
more peaceful in the individual home.
The ears of the family will not be as-
sailed by the sound of Ove finger ex-
ercises, and there will be fewer con-
tentious because play is preferred to
practice. In fact, nowadays the only
children who do their daily two hours'
work at the piano are those destined
to be star performers later on. It's a
pity, but accomplishments are no
longer considered necessary in smart
society. All one has to do are "stunts."
which in most cases are puerile imita-
tions of some stage celebrity or an
accidental personal hit. 1f I don't stop
scribbling I might get logical, and that
would not be at all like MABEL

To Wives.
Don't Quote father.
Pet your husband. He's only a big
kid.
Meet him at the door with a smile
when he comes home.
Dress as carefully as you did when
be came courting.
Wear the color he likes you in and
the style of gown.
Have something in the way of a sur-
prise dish for dinngr occasionally.
Read the papers and magazines and
be your husband's equal.
Keep up with him In any special line
of work.
Encourage his hobby.
Keep his clothes in order, a clean
house and good food.
Be systematic and do not tell him all
the Troubles of the day. He has had
his own, more significant and impor-
tant individually than all yours put
together.
Your husband le then yours forever
and ever. No chorus girl or pretty
stenographer can take him away from
you. But keep him or somebody else
will snap him up and make him think
that she and she alone did or ever will
understand him.
Covered Ice Pitchers.
Careful housekeepers will find cov-
ered ice water pitchers useful for
many purposes besides the one for
which they are especially intended.
They come in different sizes, from
less than a pint up to a quart or more,
at prices varying from 30 to 55 cents.
They are of ivory tinted porcelain,
decorated with varied designs in color,
some for the little ones having Mother
Goose pictures. The covers are of
porcelain to match the pitchers. They
extend slightly over the edge of the
tatter and for this reason are un-
usually effective In keeping out dust.

A BLOOD MEDICINE WITHOUT ALCOHOL.
Recently it has been definitly proven by experiments on animals that ',tcoh)l

tract of roots, such as Bloodroot, Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Mandrake end
