The Little Parlor Table.

Aho Llttie IariOr laDle
!, A table for the parlor which is the fancy for
the hour, and which is pretty enough to be
popular for long time aud to be more than a
passing fancy, is made of any kind of WELL
seasoned wood 1t may have square or dia-
mond-shaped top; it has round legs, put on at
each corner; there are braces, also, that go
from one leg to the other. A beautiful cover
ing for one is dark green velvet; this is tackled
down on the under side If economy 10 no OBJ
ject, pretty silver clasps can be put on at each
corner. the legs are wound with alter
nate bands of the velvet and of cardinal satin
ribbon; the ribbon is tied in a bow at each cor
ner. The braces are bound with the velvet
alone. The wood Of which the table is made is
nowhere exposed to view This is hand some
table to stand in a bay-window and to hold a
small piece of statuary.
The color of the velvet must, of course, be
in accord with the general tone of the parlor,
but the shades of olive 80 popular now are
pretty with almost anything. There is rich
ness about the greens of the present day
which brighter colors do not possess.

one cup of butter, two cups of molasses, two

and the yolks of seven eggs. For the white
part use the whites of the seven eggs, one cup
of butter, two of white sugar, half a,cup Of
sweet milk, four cups of flour, and two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder. This cake can

A good way to save washing, and at the same
time to make a pretty covering for a bed, is to
