watery.

Hints about Raisas.-It you wish to avoid
having all the raisins you put into pudding
sink to the bottom, follow this rule: Cook
the raisins in little water on the top of the
| stove; then, when the pudding Is half done
stir The raisins in. They will be evenly dis
tributed through it, and there will be plenty
! of time for the crust to form on the top of
| the pudding.
