Summer Vegetables. 
Boiled Tomatoes.—Choose ripe toma¬ 
toes of even size and arrange them, 
blossom end downward, in a saucepan. 
Add one teaspoonful of salt and enough 
boiling water to cover. Boil briskly. 
They will be done when they can be 
easily pierced by a sharp-tined fork— 
anywhere from five to 15 minutes, ac¬ 
cording to size. Take up carefully on a 
skimmer and lay on a heated platter. 
Cut two gashes crosswise in each, lay 
on butter the size of a hickory nut, dust 
with salt, pepper and a very little pow¬ 
dered sugar and serve immediately. 
These are delicate in flavor, and easily 
prepared. 
Portuguese Stuffed Egg Plant.—Wash 
a large egg plant; drop it into boiling 
water; boil for 10 minutes; drain and set 
aside until cold; cut into halves, and 
from each scoop out the center, leaving 
the walls a little less than an inch thick; 
chop the pulp fine and add to it one 
large green pepper, seeded, chopped fine 
and cooked for five minutes in one table¬ 
spoonful of butter; one medium-sized 
onion, grated; one cupful of drained to¬ 
mato pulp (the fresh tomatoes, skinned, 
seeds removed, then chopped fine) ; one 
heaping cupful of dry bread crumbs and 
one-half of a cupful of chopped cold 
chicken; season with one teaspoonful of 
salt; refill each half with the mixture, 
heaping it over the top; sprinkle with a 
tablespoonful of melted butter; place on 
a flat pan and bake in a quick oven until 
tender. Serve on a platter, and accom¬ 
pany it with a bowl of tomato sauce. 
Creamed Squash.—Wash two Summer 
squashes, either the crook-necks or white 
ones; if the skin is soft do not peel; if 
too hard to indent with the finger-nail, 
pare and seed; cut into small pieces, add 
a cup of hot water, a scant teaspoonful 
of salt and a tablespoonful of butter; 
cook until tender and dry; mash and 
add two tablespoonfuls of sweet cream. 
The secret of success is adding the but¬ 
ter during the cooking process and cook¬ 
ing down dry instead of pouring off the 
water. Good. 
Creole Tomato.—Cut in halves, cross¬ 
wise, three fine large tomatoes; place in 
buttered baking pan; sprinkle over them 
one-half green pepper chopped fine and 
one-half teaspoon of chopped onion, one 
tablespoon butter in small pieces, one 
saltspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper 
to each piece. When baked lift on rounds 
of buttered toast, add to liquor in pan 
one tablespoon butter and one of flour; 
melt and brown, stir well; then add one- 
half cup of cream or rich milk; let boil 
up, pour over tomatoes and toast. Serve 
very hot. _ 
Preparing Chicken Feathers. 
I always scald my chickens, before 
picking, then sort the feathers, carefully 
removing all that have strong quills. One 
may strip the flues from the quills if 
time is no object. Put the feathers into 
a boiler of hot soapsuds and boil for 20 
minutes or more, stirring frequently with 
the clothes stick. Then skim them out 
into a rinse of light soapsuds. I find 
they “fluff up” better with the suds 
rinse. I have a three yards length of 
single sheeting about a yard and a half 
wide, sewed up at the side to form a 
tube. Into one end f sew a good pillow 
tick, in the other I tie an ordinary wood- 
frame sieve about 14 inches in diameter. 
The feathers are put in close to the 
sieve, which is firmly secured by arrang¬ 
ing the cloth in folds around the sieve 
and winding it with strong twine. This 
contrivance is placed on a porch or roof 
where the sun and air are abundant, the 
sieve end toward the wind, which wili 
fill the tube, and as they dry gradually 
blow the feathers toward the pillow tick. 
The heavier ones go last, and may be 
sorted out for less desirable pillows or 
cushions. With a little care in sorting 
very satisfactory results may be secured. 
Shake and turn the lump of wet feathers 
every few hours to hasten the drying.

What shall I have tor dinner? 
What shall I have for tea? 
An omelet, a chop or two 
Or a savory fricassee? 
Dear, how I wish that nature.

Hadn’t given the task to a woman 
To care for a hungry man !
