Iy ripe tomatoes may be scraped with·
the back of a knife to loosen the skin,
which then will peel easily, but this Is
less rapid than the scalding process.
If coolced tomatoes are to be strained,
It is unnecessary to peel them before
stewing, as the skin will remain In
the strainer with the seeds. Some
persons believe that Immersion In hot
water Injures the appearance and tla·
vor of the tomato and peel them with·
out this treatment.
Many persons prefer to serve toma·
toes unpeeled, particularly the hot·
house tomato or other varieties with
thin, tender skins. lf'th!s Is done, the
tomatoes, like all other fruits or veg·
etables eaten raw, should be washed
carefully. The very small red toma·
toes which grow In clusters, known as
cherry tomntoes, often found in large
marlrets, are very attractive for sal·
"ads. These- and the Yellow plum to·

Some of our popular garden flow·
ers occasionally have been used for
cooking purpose's. Nasturtium buds
are· sometimes pickled, ancl as their
flowers have a flavor like water cress,
they are sometimes .eaten in a salad.
Orange flowers are well-known In·
gradients of cakes, creams and confec·

which they Impart. Saffron and marl·
gold petals once were considered lm·
portant adjuncts In cookery, chiefly
for the, yellow color they Imparted, and
are often mentioned In old recipes for
sciups, etc. Saffron Is still a staple
article In use by professional cooks.

Argument on Suffrage.
Two women were having a ladylike
argument on suffrage In a New York
street car. - "I'm not so old-fashioned
as to lna!st that our only place Is In
the home, but-" said the blonde.
"Well?" asked the brunette, w!th bat·
tie In her darlt eyes. "Couldn't we
save all this trouble and russ by just
leaving things as they are? Why can't
we go on letting the men represent us?
They do the very best they can, and
everyone I know has a mnn somewhere or other In the family.'' The
brunette's voice was calm, but firm.
"Jnclt Is a Republican and I am a
Democrat. How can ha represent me,
when ho can cast only one vote?" she
Inquired sternly. For a few minutes
tho little blonde sat very silent. Then
she apoko. "Why, I. never thought or
that before. If you have a m!sr6presentat!va man In tho family, I Lt:ppose
you do need the vote." Her voice sank
In a whisper. "But please don't say I
said so."
