cream. Add gradually, stirring con¬ 
stantly, three-fourths cupful of oil; then 
one even teaspoonful of salt, one quarter 
teaspoonful of white pepper, one tea¬ 
spoonful of English mustard, one table¬ 
spoonful each of finely chopped shallots 
and capers, one tablespoonful of tarra¬ 
gon vinegar, and, lastly, one-half cupful 
of whipped cream. Mix well and serve.” 
The sauce Mrs. Lemcke really used 
for cauliflower was given by her as 
follows : “I shall place over the fire for 
a few minutes, one tablespoonful of 
butter, one of flour, and one-half cupful 
of chicken or white veal broth. When 
this has cooked for a few minutes, I add 
the yolks of three eggs, a few spoonfuls 
of cream, and a tablespoonful of lemon 
juice. This sauce, when used for cauli¬ 
flower au gratin, forms one layer. First, I 
shall place in a deep dish a layer of the 
cauliflower (boiled until tender); next, 
a layer of sauce, then a heavy sprink¬ 
ling of grated cheese ; repeat, the top 
layer being always a thick one of the 
cheese.” 
There were mushroom pat6s, and fancy 
potatoes in cones, apples in jelly, and 
other goodies which there isn’t space to 
tell about. The pig turned a most beau¬ 
tiful brown under his paper blanket, and 
the 300 women who wanted to find out 
just how to roast a pig, clapped their 
hands at sight of his tempting perfection. 
A rather pretty feature of the day was 
the service of the dishes concocted. This 
was accomplished by three trim young 
girls from the lecturer’s Brooklyn cook¬ 
ing class, in coquettish caps and aprons. 
Soup was served in tiny bowls ; boned 
chicken and fillet of sole in inch bits. 
But it was rapture to get even an inch 
bit of a cooking teacher’s delicacies. At 
least, so said the faces of the women 
who tasted. myra v. norys.

Ladies’ Draped Waist 6891. 
Figured violet silk, satin ribbon and 
chantilli lace are blended in this stylish 
waist. The lace, arranged in fans, falls 
over the full, puffed sleeves. Broad 
satin ribbon outlines either side of the 
draped front and encircles the waist, 
while bows at the shoulders, waist and 
sleeves complete the decoration. The 
trim adjustment is accomplished by 
glove-fitting linings performed by regu¬ 
lation seams and double bust darts, that 
close in the center front. The fullness 
of the back is disposed by gathers at the 
shoulder edges, and at the waist line it 
is drawn well to the center back. The 
front is smooth-fitting at the top with a 
slight fullness at the waist line. The 
drapery is included in the right shoulder 
seam and closes invisibly on the left side 
and diagonally to the waist line. At the 
neck is a standing collar covered by a, 
wrinkled stock of ribbon that is bowed 
at the center back. The fitting sleeves

soft, creamy lace. The mode is adapted 
to all seasonable fabrics and offers facili¬ 
ties for the execution of individual taste 
and various styles of decoration. To 
make this waist for a lady in the medium 
size, will require 3 % yards of 44-inch 
wide material. Pattern No. 6891 may be 
had in sizes for 33, 34, 36,38 and 40 inches

MAKING CHILDREN'S UNDER WAISTS. 
I USED to be much troubled by the 
childrens’ underwaists tearing cross- 
ways under the arm, where it was 
almost impossible to repair them with¬ 
out another tear coming above or below. 
When making the waists, before they 
were finished, I stitched a straight strip 
of muslin two inches wide on over the 
underarm seam, extending from arm¬ 
hole to waist line ; and it was then im¬ 
possible for the waists to tear. How¬ 
ever, that threw the strain around the 
armhole, and after a few weeks’ wear, 
they began to tear there, and were 
almost as hard to repair satisfactorily 
as the old ones had been. 
Then when new ones were to be made, 
I cut a facing just like the upper part of 
the waist, extending down an inch be¬ 
low the armhole ; sewed this all around 
the neck, turned and stitched it on the 
other side, then faced around the arm 
hole as usual, stitching the facing next 
the edge for greater strength. When 
putting on the facing around the bot¬ 
tom, I inserted an extra piece of four 
thicknesses where the buttons belong, 
and now we do not have to make any 
repairs on the underwaists, for the 
places where the strain comes are so 
strengthened that they will hold until 
the rest of the waist is worn out. New 
ones are made only every 18 months or 
two years, instead of twice a year as 
formerly. 
To recapitulate : A strip stitched over 
the underarm seam ; a facing extending 
to below the armhole, makes the mate, 
rial double where all the strain comes. 
Extra thicknesses are added where the 
buttons come, so that the buttons, if well 
sewed on with coarse thread, will not 
come off. While it takes about five inches 
more material and, perhaps, an hour 
more time to make, no after repairing of 
any kind is necessary, thus saving much 
time, trouble and worry.

any more,” said an old Davisvillian the 
other day. “ My daughter,” he con¬

does not heal. The best rem¬

When Anton Wenzl settled in Pawnee 
County, Neb., in 1867, he was compelled to 
work out by the month to support his family. 
To-day he owns 1,640 acres o( the finest farm 
land, valued at $30 per acre, together with 
stock and other property valued at $10,000. 
Every dollar of it was made on the farm. 
Mr. Wenzl is one of seven brothers whose 
aggregate land holding amounts to over 
5,000 acres. 
IN OUR 
NEBRASKA BOOK 
M40 Pagxs with Map# ini Illustration*) 
are dozens of statements like that of Mr. 
> Wenzl. They are made by farmers who 
have made a success of farming. They show 
that Nebraska is as good a State as any in 
the Union. 
The book in which they appear is as differ-’ 
ent from the ordinary agricultural pamphlet 
as day is from night. It is interesting, prac¬ 
tical, truthful. In a straightforward, simple 
fashion, it tells you everything you need to 
know about Nebraska — its climate, people, 
schools, churches, railroads, markets, soil and 
crops. It explains why the Nebraska farmer 
makes money In spite of low prices and hard 
times. Why land is cheap—and how it is as 
easy for an intelligent and industrious man to 
buy a Nebraska farm as it is to rent one in 
any State cast of the Missouri River. 
Every farm renter who wants to become I 
a farm-owner; every farm-owner who is tired 
of trying to make money off high-priced land; 
every father who wants to give his sons a 
start on the high road to independence, should 
write for a copy. Free.
