A collection of household notes covers labeling spools, poaching eggs without water contact, buttered teacups for egg sets, onion odor removal by earth, earth to sweeten pickle jars, and preserving syrup by adding soda or vinegar to prevent crystallization or candying.
The piece surveys novelty wooden decor and humorous figures like coat hangers shaped as fops, wooden telephone ladies, spool ladies, enameled book ends, and tiny birds and ducks. It notes their impractical use but urges embracing quirky crafts to reveal humor, with craftswomen able to make many items at home using enamel and simple woodwork.
The article describes two sweet potato varieties, favoring yams for rich flavor and juices. It outlines candied sweet potatoes with lemon juice, sugar, butter, and banana slices, plus a baked method. A sweet potato puree with salt pepper butter and hot milk is suggested as a side, with tomato sauce and other potatoes as options.
A muddled recipe excerpt describes making Sweet Potato Croquettes with mashed sweet potatoes, cream, butter, eggs, and almonds then frying. It also references creamed sweet potatoes and a savory sauce, with notes on browning and serving. The text mentions measurements and steps, though details are garbled and uneven.
The article explores how costume design offers varied careers for women, from sketching for designers and advertising to creating stage costumes. It highlights different routes from assistants earning modest pay to designers earning substantial sums, and notes the need for artistic talent, study of dress history, and ability to interpret and create for the stage.
The text shows a garbled crochet or knitting instruction with rows named First Row Fourteenth Row Seventh Row and so on. It includes steps like shell stitches, sl st, ch between stitches, increasing until twelve stitches, filling with cotton, and repeated shell patterns. The fragmented, nonsensical OCR lacks coherent context or complete instructions.
