EVENING BULLETIN, HONOLULU. T. H, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1912
SKVKHAI. well-known women mayl
bo nccn bright niul early each
morning making tliolr purchnscs nil
tho big Chinese market on King
t.treet. They are not fnddlsts audi
huvu not formed n club (or tho preven
tion of belated deliveries of wilted
vegetables and half-spoilt fifth. They,
lmve, Instead, tnken matters Into their'
own linmlH, and the happy reHiiltH are
n matter of Individual rather than or
ganized satisfaction. Almost all of
thcKe women havo efficient corps of
servants In their homes and, wcro It
their pleasure, tho ordering might eas
ily ho accomplished by telephone or,
better still, hv an lmmacnlatcly-clad
Chinese chef. That they do not wish
It done In IIiIh way argues well for
their housekeeping methods and also
for the robust health of their families.
Tho compensations of tho "system"
lie not only In the' satisfaction of
knowing absolutely that everything
that goes Into their kitchens Is In
good condition, but also In nn early
morning spin with their husbands,
whom they "drop oft" at tho doors of
their business houses. ,

Apropos of tho recent Shrlners' fes
tivities In Los Angeles, tho California
girls have Invented a new hair "do"'
that is declared to be extremely fetch
ing and rapidly gaining In popularity.
It Is called tho "Fez." In outline resem
bling tho Shrlner's cap and so fear
fully and wonderfully Vonstructcd that
nt n dlstanco It is dllllcult. It Is said,
to distinguish from tho "real thing.'
Tho nrraugemeut Is completed by
placing the ends of the hair to ouo
sldo over tho left ear, the effect being
that of a tassel.

Plvo years ago tho "great manner
nnd magnlllcenco" of Prlnco Hassan,
cousin of tho Khedive of Kgypt, so ov
erpowered an American girl tljat, aft
er two months' romantic courtship,
she capitulated to tho title. It did
not take the Princess Hassan long to
discover sho had made a mistake, and
nt tho end of live years wo find her re
turning to her native California, with
the warning to American girls, "Nover
marry an Oriental: it's a fatal mis
take." Mlssi Ola Humphrey took this
step without' considering Jho racial dlf
, ferenccs between an American and an
Egyptian, oV tho Oriental custom
which practically effacos the Independ
ence and Individuality of a woman.
Wiser by her sad experience, tho Prlii
ccia Hassan comes back with "great
respect and admiration for tho Ameri
can man, tho Ideal husband." Tho ra
cial problom does not enter Into every
foreign alliance, but In n big majority
of the Instances where beautiful Amer
ican girls have sold themselves for Eu
ropean titles, tho sequel of Incompati
bility or misery or abuse Is Just about
tho same. Our girls nnd their parents
ought to havo learned by this time that
Micro are enough men of the right sort
In America to go around. A title can
not make n man out of nn empty head
or a depraved heart.
One of tho dangers of our civiliza
tion Is the frivolity with which wo
treat serious and solemn subjects. An
Instance In point Is a "divorce party,"
reported by tho New York Times, It
was given by tho released husband.
Tho house was decorated with sym
bols of Independence, tho dinner
cnids showed Lincoln's shattering tho
chnlns of slaves nnd tho happy di
vorced husband sang Oood-by, Little
Olrl, Good-by, nnd No Wedding Hells
For Mo. 'Tho whole thing was silly
enough, but Its very silliness and the
applause It seems to havo obtained
from Invited guests Illustrate u dan

of looking at life.

that corporul punishment Is discour

The hcaHhfulue8s of dwellings de
pends upon their faultless situation,
construction nnd management. It Is
n primary Importance that the foun
dations of our houses should bo on
dry ground, freo from decaying tnnt-
ter. Houses built over swnmps, orj
muis Biuiirnieii vviiu puiriu moisture,
such as those where old cesspools
have been, even though these places
have been filled In with gravel, are
unlit for habitation The earth never
becomes absolutely pure. Kspeclnlly
In warm weather It will emit exhala
tions which cannot fall to vitiate the
nlr. Ilefore purchasing a ready-built
house, or buying land, this matter
should be well looked Into. '
If one Is to locnto In n city, there
are two other Important subjects to
bo looked Into light and air. i
A construction conducive to a free
nnd ample supply of nlr and light Is
the main condition for a healthy home.
Try to havo your dwelling face on
freo and open streets. This Is to ho
preferred to courts or ulleywajs
where many cottages nre clustered. In
the city, a corner house Is greatly to
be desired In tho country, any open,
dry portion of land will make n good
building spot
Shade around our dwellings Is de
lightful, nnd, lu moderation, greatly
to bo desired, but care should be tak
en that such shade does not Bhut out
tho sun's rays and tho nlr currents.
When moving Into a newly-built
house or one which has been unoccu
pied for any length of time, one must
look out for dampness In walls, floors
and cellars. The gases which nrlse
from our cellars often Is the cause of
contagious disease. The habit of
sprinkling the coal In the bin will
cause It to send forth poisonous gases
Injurious to health. This leads us to
the subject of tho kitchen sink, and
tho outside sinks which are found lu
farm houses, for tho use of tho "help."
Oftentimes they become clogged and
the water stands In them, causing ty
phoid germs to form. Tho dish cloth
is u germ bleeder, but that Is another
story.
A healthy house makes healthy pco
tJiv It Rlinutil he ilrv. warm, nlrv und
'freo from smoky chlmnejs. Let plenty
of light Into all of the rooms. Throw
open the blinds and draw aside the
curtains.
Tho cellar should bo whltwnshed
twice u year, and all parts of It well
looked Into, to see that there aro no
decaying pieces of II re wood In the
wood pile, as there Is disease even In
this.

SOME NEW AND TEMPTING RECIPES
The Secret of Crltpneis.
Doughnuts and crullors. being hen
vy and solid as compared with cro
quettes or other small fried foods,
must be cooked in fnt which. Is nt n
lower temperature. The best test U
to put a small piece of the dough In
the pan and conk it. If It sinks to
the bottom nnd quickly renppenrs. In
creased in bulk, tho fnt Is. at tho right
temperature.
Do not attempt to cook too many
crullers at 0110 time, as they cool tho
fat. and consequently nbsorb grease.
Pour or live aro tho most that should
bo attompted at once. After draining,
shake them In n paper hag with n lit
tie sugar.
After frying any dough mixture, tho
fnt will appear cloudy from the Hour
thnt has fallen Into It. but If one .or
two rnw potatoes uro then cooked In
tho fnt this cloudiness will disappear
All frying fat should be Btrnlnedj
through n Hue sieve or cheese-cloth
before using, to remove any foielgn
particles that have fallen Into It from
the food. If not removed these will
burn and cover tho next nrtlclo cook ,
ed with black specks
Fried Clams.
Wash soft clams and drain them on
n soft cloth, wiping dry; then dip each
clam llrst In benten egg nnd next In
bread-crumbs, nnd ngani In tho egg
and crumbs If much breading Is liked.
Ono dipping, however. Is generally But
llclcnt. Have a rryltig-pan containing
hot tnt nn fnoI. deep ready for tho
frying. Test the fat by" dropping In a
bit or'cruinh; It should color to u gold
en hue at one e.
Lay tho clams In tho rat ono nt a
tlmo but ns quickly as possible, and
cook them on both sides linlll brown
not longer thnn live minutes, how.
over, as this dcllcnlo shell-fish, like tho
oyster, requires but little cooking.
Cam must bo taken that tho fat Is not
too hot, vlso the clnins will hurst und
not be ns line as thoy should. Cover
the pan In cooking, leaving an open
space nt 11110 sldo to allow the escntiu
