/= Woman's World By MAIR M. MORGAN "A Woman'* Placa Is In tha Home." Fall Appetitiei. AVIth tha cool oveiilngs and bracing bri'czes o( autumn, our appelltea no longer demand tho crisp salads of Bummer days, but rovel in tliouglits of roast beef, stows and dumplings, of roast beef, stews aud satisfying can be envisioned tlian baked liani. Tlio following ofTers a nice varia- tion of this ever popular disli: Halted Breaded llani. Shoulder or Leg,â€" Cover a wliole ham or shoul- dorder with told watpr, bring slowly to the boiling point, then simmer un- til nearly tender. Carefully remove the siiin from meat, brush all over vith beaten csg, then cover with bread crumbs mixed with brown sugar, paprika and u little mustard. Place in the oven and pour one cup- ful of fruit Juico or cider in the baking pan. Hake about half an liMir. liaiilng now and then with the juice. Garnish with broiled peaciies or apples end make gravy from tho liquid in the pan. Veal Potpie With Dumpings.â€" I'ut one and a half pounds of neck of veal In cube.s, cover with water, and add a riuartor of a pound of .salt pork, 6lso cubed. Simmer for one hour, tlien add two onions, a (juartpr of n cupful of diced celery, halt a cupful of diced carrots, with salt aud pep- per to taste. Simmer one hour, then thicken the gravy with one table- • spoonful of flour blended to a pa.ste vitli two table.spoontuls of water. Add p;iprika and oilier sea.soning as ro(]uir- ed. and it tho gravy liaa evaporated m;uh add more boiling wator. Tor the dumplings sift together one and a half cuptuls of flour, lialf a te:ispoontul of salt, three teaspoonfula of haktnK powder. Add milk to in:,ke a stiff batter, al)out halt a cup- ful. Drop /from the end of a spoon Into the boiling gravy. Cover closely find cook rapidly tor ten to twelve minutes. For Company. â€" Add one cupful of Bmall canned peas to the potpie five minutes before serving. Irish Stew With Vegetables â€"One and a half pounds of lean veal cut Into neat pieces for serving.

Cook until the peas and potatoes are llnished, thicken the gravy and season as preferred. I)umi>- lings or noodles may l)e added to this very appetizing stow. For extra spice for jaded palates, small amounts of eaftron, sage, thymo and currjpowder give an added piquance. Try them. Deep-Dish Cherry I'io.â€" Line a deep earthen dish with flaky pastry and in thi centre placo an inverted custard cup. Kill the dish with pie chorries which liave been washed, pitted and well sweetened. Pile tho fruit higher In the centre than at tho sides of the dish, dot with butter and sprinkio vith two lablespoontuls of flour. Make a cover of the pastry i)ut do not slit It in tho usual fashion, and, pressing It down firmly at tho sides, brush over with beaten egg yolk. l?ako in a moderate oven at least one hour. Lift tlie edge of tho inverted cup when serving so that the juice may escape. Tlui pie is good, hot with hard sauce or cold with whipped cream. Some other fruits may 1)0 substituted for cherries, but the more acid ones give a tastier, more desirable pie. Colorful Cooking. A spoonful of jam, rlglil iji the ccntro of a cup custard, add.^i color and flavor. Cranberry sauce will give mayonnaise a rosy color that is at- tr;u'tlve. A da^h of grape juico gives a heightened, sharpened flavor to applij sauce. Later Supper Snack. Kor tliose who like a midnight spread and are peanut butter addida, till.' recipe may be especially nppi^al- Ing: Take l',i cups peanut bult(!r, l'/4 cups hot milk, 1 teaspoon salt, C half- Inch slices of bread and pepper.

Kemove from Are and combino with brans, ketchup, seasoning and broad crumbs. Fill onions with this mixture. I'luo In deep covered baking dish »;:h litllo water. Fiake in moderate nv ni IH hours or until onions are tcttdiA Unusual Touches. Tlio-so who enjoy something sweet with their meat will appreciate stuffed prunes with llieir saddle of mulloii aa a change from nxl-currant Jolly. IJe- move the stones from the prums after stewing and wliilo hot till willi a good sweet diutney. Serve liot with the mutton. Another unusual touch is tho serving of little banana fritters with chicken and, of course, an orange aai- od with wild duck. The oranges for tliis salad should have pips and every particle of skin and pith removed. Cut in tiiin quarter slices or in thin rings, arrange in layers in a dish; sprinkle each layer with a little castor sugar and a very little salad oil. Kitchen Wrinkles. Concerning Vinegar. â€" A little vine- gar will remove paint from windows. A little vinegar in tho dried glue will make it flt for use again. A tablespoon of vinegar in tho laid ill which dougiinuts are to be fried will prevent them from absorbin.; â- ;() truch tat.' A tablespoon of vinegar poured on a hot shovel and carried throuj!li the house will take away all cooking od- ors and make the air sw(!et. Undiluted viucgar is splendid lor cleaning the bricks around the lire- place and tho joy of itâ€" it will not harm your liands. Two Pals View Eclipse A .^liabhy silk umbrella can be re-! vived in tlio following way:â€" Pour 1 lialt a pint of boiling water over a tal)!ospoonful of sugar, leave until dis- solved, thou open tho umbrella, and spongo down the gores witii tho liquid,' from ferrule to tips. Aftetr sponging tho whole surface of the umbrella, I liang it out in the open air. j White materials sliould bo wrapped. carefully in blue paper before being turned yellow. When preserving eggs wiili water glass, smear each egg with butter bo fore placing it in the pickling solu tiou. This seals the poro.s of tlie eggs and they keep ranch heller. | After darning socks and stockings in the usual way, take a few runs from corner to corner of darn, inak- : ing a sort of cross on it, and it will wear twice as long. | Never trouble to grate chocolate to , be used for cakes or cold sweets.! Place llie chocolate in tho oven tor a- few seconds. It will becuine <iuite| soft, and can be creamed witli tlie but- ter or beaten up with eggs or milk. Atlor washing hanilkercliiefs, steep; them overnight in clean water to which a little cream of tnrtar has! been added. When irouvd tliey will be beautifully v/hite. To relieve a sprain. â€" Take a piece of old linen, fold It into a pad, soakj in vinegar, and apply to tlie sprained ! part. Then bandage firmly, hut not! too tiglilly. Honew the compress from ] time to time. To prolong the lite of your mincer,' oil it occasionally with salad oil. Powdered quicklime mixed with white of egg. the wholo beaten v.-oll , and sliRhtly wanned, makes an e.\cel-l lent cement for mending broken china. Wlien cleaning dotli, rul) it with a' piece of material of the same color.' It this is unobtainahie, a small ball of' wool of similar shado w-ill bo found; an excclleut substitute. A little sal ammonia will brighten | and remove stain.s from leather, par- ticularly if the stains are of an oily nature. A very iiltle should he a.\y- plied, then gently sponged off with cold water. Do not rub leather; use a sponge, J-emons will keep much longer if kept in a bowl of cold water which, is renewed each day. And, when a lemon has been cut, tlie unused part can he kept from dying by placing it. lilt .side up, benentli an inverted glass jar. Jimniie didn't want his canine companion to miss the big show so he borrowed an extra pair of smoked glasses. Of course there wasn't a total eclipse at Detroit, but it was swell while it lasted. Colds Declared Scourge of U.S. Of all Minor Afflicitions it Alone Resists Stubborn- ly, Says Health Report Washington.â€" The com.non cold â€" one of tlie few ailments that refuses to entirely surrender to tho onward march of medical science â€" is emerg ing as the scourge of America. The public health service presents information showing the cold to be the greatest single factor in econ- omic loss because of illness. Most other diseases are yielding, and a.s science gradually vanquishes them every American reaps the benefit In a death rate tliat has been steadily dropping for nine years. Today it stands at a new low 10.9 for every 1,000 population. Of the iiiinor afflictions only the common cold resists stubbornly and exacts a great part of the $800,000,000 that is lost annually in this country because of illnesses that could be prevented. "We are finding," public liealtii ser- vice ofllcials said, "that most com- municable diseases are showing de- creases. For instance, diphtheria, scarlet fever, small pox aud measles are showing a lower trend than they have In years. This has been par- ticularly notable in tho last tliree or four years, and theories have been ad- vanced that the depression mignt have had something to do with it. The best estimates available at the public health service are that every .\nierican can expect to have one cold a year. Statistics are conceded to be ratlier uncertain because the cold is tlie most elusive of ailments. In the language of science it is ultra- microscopic. That means its germ is one of the rare ones that cannot be encompass- ed by the all-seeing eye of the micro- scope. Wild Rose and Whin Wild rose runs riot through tha hedge. Blossom and bud and tliorn. But fioin the bank's gold po'.-dei'ed edge The scent of whin, love's constant pledge, Floats sweeter down the morn.

G3ld Mine in Cushion The dust-covered calm ot myriad antique shops ot Paris has been troub- led lately by a flood ot demands for old pillows, cushions, mattresses and overstuffed furniture. The reason is a discovery ot more than 100,000 francs in.side au old cushion at tha Hotel Drouot, the city's leading auc- tion establishment. During an unin- teresting session a number ot buyers started playing catch with an old threadbare, discarded cushion, throw- it vigorously from one to another till its outworn cover gave way, revealing a number of lOOO-francs notes. .\s the former owner had no heirs, ail !he money wont to the state.
