WHAT FOOD KEEPS STAGE STARS SO YOUNG?
half a dozen bell peppers, parboil in
MAY ROBSON'S STUFFED
PEPPERS
a little salted water and fill with this
ill
May Robson.
By Caroline Coe.
May Robson, who has so success
fully starred during the past few
years in "The Rejuvenation of Aunt
Mary," is the best story teller among
the women of the stage. In private
life she is Mrs. Charles Augustus
Browne, wife of the police surgeon
ot New York city. r At their home on
Sunday evening there is always a
merry company when the actress is
"off the road," and when May serves
here celebrated stuffed peppers her
friends scarcely can tell which is the
.more individually piquant the de
lectable dish or the . clever stories
of their hostess. Here follows her
stuffed peppers'recipe:
Wipe carefully and grate into small
pieces fresh field mushrooms and fry
slightly in a tablespoon of butter
there should be a cupful of crea.ni, 2
tablespoons of soft bread crumbs, a
half cupful of chopped clams, ' 1
beaten yolkand half a teaspoon of
salt Remove sefeds and veins from
dressing. Bake in an earthen serving
dish for 20 minutes, and baste occa
sionally with butter and water.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Jam that has become hard and
sugary can be made almost as good
as new by placing it in the oven until
the sugar melts, then taking it out
and leaving it to cool.
To bake potatoes quickly boil them
in salted water for ten minutes, then
put them in the oven. The boiling
water will heat them through and
they will cook in a short time.
To perfume handkerchiefs tie a lit
tle orris root in a muslin bag and
place in the water in which the hand
kerchiefs are boiled. After ironing
they will have a delicate violet per
fume. After using a silver fork for fish,
especially anything strong smelling,
like herrings, the odor often clings to
the silver, even after washing. To
prevent this, directly after the fork
has been used wash it with water and
then stand it in a basin of tea leaves
for a few minutes. This will remove
the taste and smell.
Steam is an excellent thing for re
moving creases from gowns or coats
that have been packed away. Fix up
a line in the bathroom, hang the
creased clothes on it close to the win
dow, then let the hot water tap run
until the room is full of steam, leave
for an hour or two, then dry the
clothes in the open air and press on
the wrong side with a warm iron,
GRAPE CATSUP
Five pounds of grapes boiled to
pulp and sifted. Add three pounds of
sugar, one teaspoon of ground cin
namon, one-half teaspoon, 'each, of
cloves and allspice. Boil two hours,
taking great care not to burn. "Put
up. in jelly glassces or wide-mouthed
pickle bottles. Seal while hot.
