Salsify
By HELEN S. WILLARD
An of tho dlfllcultles In prepar

wuy of scrubbing, then scrap

little flour to prevent blackening, Is
fur more tiouhlexomu and less Batls
factory In bringing out the oystery
lluvor than is the following process:
Scrub the sulslfy, discarding tho
greens, and put to cook In boiling
waited wutor. When tender, In time
varying from twenty minutes to nl

holding the vegetuble knife lengthwise
of tho plunt und beginning at the
stout end, skin uh you would a boiled

In selecting salsify the thickness of
the root does not seem to bo a con
sistent Indication of its age or tough
nosoj more often a Ihlck, heavy skin
will bo the wrapper around a rather
woody root, upt to huve a strong
llavor, whllo a lighter and moro ten

happen to have been mndt by 1 cell. Is
charged to tho various members of tho
family, wo find that tho combined
cost of the telephono and tho maid's
wages Is not bo very much more than
tho laundry bill ulone when no maid
Is kept. Of course tho success of our
plan depends on our ability to keep a
maid, and for this reason, having fin
ally sccuicd ono who is reliable, willing
nnd good-natured, we havo made cer
tain concessions. She has two after
noons n week, on which days we havo
a "dollcatossen" dinner. Ea h evening,
after tho dinner work Is over, she also
has to herself, provided ."ho Is home
by a certain hour. Wo also exercise
caro as to tho slzo of thu washing,
which Is of necessity largo for a family
of flvo, four of whom are women.
Tho expenses avcrago about $7.G0
each per week. This covers rent, gas,
electric lights, telephone and maid's
wages; and wo have a home' We set
spoons to a cup of milk, and In the
same proportion one tublespoon of but
ter. Heat this, stirring Ucaslonully,
until thoroughly cooked, uadlng moro
cracker dUBt If needed. The exact
proportion of this thickening must bo
separately ascertained for each variety,
us cracker dusts vary greatly In theli
thickening properties. To bring out
the llavor of salsify, cracker dust Is
far preferable, to flour as thickening.
This dish may or may not be served
on toast, with a garnish of parsley.

TIIR most simple, practical, easy
and Inexpensive method of fix
ing n closet to hold the maxl
mum amount of clothing, and
also to hold them In the best way I
have "discovered" to bo as follows-
n..t.a.iPle,C0 of Br2an p,pe' ma" enough
that the hooks of coat, skirt and trous
ors hungers may boliooked over It and
short enough to gp lu any ordinary
closet. Through tho nino run n n,,n
stout iopo 01 wire I am using a piece
of tolcphono wire nt present and fast
en cither end of tho wile to the hooks
already In the closet. Tho pipe, lianrr.
ing on tho wire, makes a horizontal
bar on Which to hnnir vonr Mti....
and tho clothes hung in this mutineii
keep their shapo much better than
wiien uung nguinst tho wall. People
who move often, ns I do, will find this
most convenient, as It may be easily
carried with one, and adjusted In any
closet In a very few moments of time
thus making tho linnglng of clothes
against dusty or dirty walls unneces
sary. C. C HMtVCB

lamp shado which harmonized with

bo I bought an ordinary Japanese
shade und removed the gayly-coloied
panels, replacing them with panels of
Japuncso gruss oloth In a soft tone of
green. It was not at all hard to do,
and I hud a vory urtlBtlo shade, at
small cost.-C, C. '
