Summer Vegetables. 
Creole Baked Tomatoes.—Parc large 
ripe tomatoes, slice and lay them in or 
dcr in a bake-dish, alternating with 
minced green sweet peppers. Dot each 
layer with bits of butter; season with 
salt and a dash of sugar to soften the 
acid of the tomatoes. Strew fine crumbs 
over all, and bake, covered, 15 minutes; 
then brown. 
Baked Cucumbers.—Parc the cucum¬ 
bers, chop them fine with a small onion 
and put them in a saucepan with a little 
water to cook for 10 minutes; prepare 
C070 Blouse or hliiit. Waist, 
82 to 42 bust. 
a rich dressing as for poultry, pour the 
water from the cucumbers, add the 
dressing and bake in a deep pudding 
dish. 
French Egg Plant.—Boil a large egg 
plant in salted water until tender; drain, 
peel and mash smooth. Add one level 
tablespoonful of butter, one scant tea- 
spoonful of salt, one-quarter of a tea¬ 
spoonful of pepper, two hard-boiled 
eggs chopped fine, one teaspoon fill of 
finely chopped onion and two table¬ 
spoonfuls of fine dry bread crumbs.

pers and tops in salt water half an hour, 
then stulT with a dressing made of half 
cup chopped ham, half cun cracker 
crumbs, small onion, chopped fine, and a 
little tomato catsup. Season well and 
moisten with milk. Fill peppers, pin tops 
on with toothpicks, set in pan with 
water in it. Bake three-quarters of an 
hour in hot oven, covering the last 20 
minutes. Anything in the meat line may 
he substituted for ham. 
Delicate Corn.—This is a most de¬ 
licious dish, like a very light pudding. 
In preparing the corn for this pudding 
the kernels should not be cut off, but 
the rows should he split lengthwise and 
the inside scraped out. The ingredients 
are, besides the good part of six ears of 
corn (taken out as directed above), two 
well-beaten eggs, a tablespoon ful of but¬ 
ter, a small teaspoon ful of salt and 
three cups of milk, stirred together and 
baked in a pudding dish from 15 to 20 
minutes. 
Scalloped Squash.—Boil and mash 
squash as usual; let it cool; beat yolks 
of two eggs and when squash is nearly 
cold whip those into it, with three table¬ 
spoonfuls of milk, thickened with butter 
and flour (as for white sauce). Pepper 
and salt to taste. Pour into a buttered 
baking dish, cover with fine crumbs, 
bake to a light brown and serve hot. 
Stuffed Baked Cucumbers.—Cut the 
cucumbers in two lengthwise without 
peeling; scoop out the seeds, and fill to 
heaping each half with a highly sea- 
soned bread-crumb mixture; moisten 
with melted butter and brown in a hot 
oven. Left-overs of meat, chopped 
olives or pimentos may be used in the 
filling._

Steel Shoes rivo absolute protection against colds, 
rheumatism, stiff ness und all other discomforts and 
diseases caused by cold, wet feet. After a full year of 
daily wear they will still be clean and odorless. Tho 
reason is that inside tho shoes is a splendid, thick, hair

ing. but absorbs, also, the perspiration and foot odors. 
Avery night this hair cushion can be taken out and 
easily cleansed and dried. Steel Shoes are easily slipped 
on or off when leaving or entering the house. They are

omy of Hteel Shoes. They will outwear from three to 
six pairs of leather shoos, to say nothing of tho saving
