BEST OF SANDWICHES SOME NEW IDEA8 EVOLVED BY CLEVER COOKS. j Improvements fn the Popular Tit-Bit Known as the "Club" Have Been Made-Oysters Used in Place-" I*5* of Chicken. i? Tea rooms in the big city shopping districts are serving some new vari eties of the always popular club sand wich.' While the principal ingredi ents remain the same each style of club sandwich differs from its fellows In some detail which makes it dis tinctive, i What is known as a French club sandwich is served with a toasted English muffin substituted for the usual slices of toasted bread. It is set down before one garnished with a few sprays of parsley pressed deep into the yielding surface of the half muffin which tops the substantial fill ing of chicken, bacon, mayonnaise, let tuce and sliced tomato. Watercress is used in similar fashion, the spray of green in either case being embedded in the toasted muffin so firmly that it seems to be a little flower holder. Two halves of crumpet are used for a similar sandwich and filled with the same combination, making a sand wich still more hearty. Where toasted bread is used vari ety is given to the club sandwich by reason of some other meat or fish be ing substituted for the usual founda tion layer of breast of chicken. Thin ly sliced duck is delicious with the bacon and other ingredients, and tur key is also another good substitute. Strips of rare beef, either cold or freshly cut from a hot roast and moistened with horseradish may also be used, and strips of rare steak are . equally appropriate. An oyster club sandwich has for its distinctive feature two or three large fried oysters. These are laid on the under slice of toast, sprinkled with lemon juice and then topped with two strips of bacon, two lettuce leaves, a spoonful of mayonnaise and then the second slice of toast. For tho^e who do not care for fried .oysters the oyster club sandwich comes in still a different form, the oysters being poached in their own liquor until the gills curl, when they are drained of moisture and used for the foundation of the sandwich. If preferred oyster club sandwiches may be served with Russian dressing in stead of mayonnaise, as the addition of the tomato flavor in the chili sauce is particularly agreeable with oysters, ?ither fried or poached. Sardine club sandwich is made of large boned sardines, sprinkled with lemon juice and arranged as usual ?nd finely cut lobster, either bot or cold, offers still another variety. The egg club sandwich is usually served with a basis of an egg fried on both, sides, and reasoned well with salt, pepper and paprika before the other materials for the sandwich are added. Hard-boiled eggs, sliced or chopped, result in a sandwich less rich. In both cases the eggs should be served hot. Economy Helps. In most households greater economy of time and energy can be practiced by cooking larger amounts of food at one time, and this means a saving in the fuel bills as well. Enough mayonnaise dressing for all the salads you will make in a week can be made on one day. It is just as easy to cock a kettleful of potatoes that will last two days as it is to pre pare only enough for the midday meal. There Is hardly a vegetable one can think of that cannot be cooked in large quantities to advantage and that will not lend itself readily to warming over in a variety of ways. And on those days when the oven ls being used for baked dishes in which the vegetables play an important part, double portions of puddings should be baked. What is not required that day can be served a few days later, steamet over the vegetable pot, and it will b?* just as appetizing, if not more so, as if freshly made. Fruit Cream. Cook the juice of three lemons and three oranges with two cupfuls ol' eugar, set aside to cool. Soften two tablespoonfuls of gelatin with milk, then heat over hot water until dis solved. Whip two cupfuls of cream, add the fruit juice and gelatin, stir until well blended, then pile high in a deep dish or mold if preferred. Steamed Dried Beef. Here is an unusual recipe, but a very good one. Prepare a spiced vinegar au for fruit pickles, only less highly sea soned. Cut very, very thin slices of dried beef in narrow strips, diamond or any fancy shape, and cut with scis sors. Steam the beef in the vinegar for one hour. Serve hot with toasted wafers. Stuffed Celery. Wash tender celery hearts and put 'them into cold water to become crisp. Mash fresh cream cheese, then add chopped nuts and chopped olives to taste.

The secret of success in washing chamois and doeskin gloves lies in using lukewarm or cool water-better cool than even a few degrees too warm. That, at least, is one of the secrets; the other is to use soapy water. The soapier the water, providing it is of the right temperature, the silkier and softer the gloves will be. They should first be freed from all dirt in a soap bath, and then put through another soapy bath in order that they may be rinsed from the dirt set free. They should then be pressed and squeezed in a thick towel until they are free from soap and water as nearly as pos sible. Then they are ready to be hung to dry in a cool, dry place. Nev er hang' them near a fire, and never hang them in the sunshine if you would have them soft and pliable af ter laundering. Date and Peanut Pudding.
