she should be counted as one of the happy; if
not, she can shield her black silk and velvet
dresses in this way: Take two breadths of wide
cambria, sew them together, hem all around
both ends, and run in strings to draw them to-
gether or pieces of elastic cord. In this slip
the dress skirt. Have two loops On the band of
the skirt. and let them come through the top of
the bag to hang it by. The object in having
both ends open Is so that the dress may be slip
ped out at either end, and also may. be ar
ranged so that it Will not wrinkle. There should
be loop on the bag also, by which it NAV be
left hanging in the closet after the skirt is taken
out.
HINTS ABOUT CO0KING.-The following Gull
nary rules are from the London Caterer: 1.
Never boil fat with bones or meat for stock for
GRAVES or soups. 2 Place all fish, salt or
fresh. to cook in boiling water 8. All fresh fish
to have vinegar and salt added to the water.
f. Never let fish boil fast draw 1t to the side of
the fire, and only let 1t boil slowly. s. Place all
meat to boil in boiling water, then the same AZ
rule 4. 6. All vegetables to be cooked In plenty
Of boiling water, with salt, and be rapidly
sprouts, to be cooked with little soda and saIt
In plenty Of boiling winter. 8. Carrots, par
ships, sea kale and celery, artchokes, beet root.
vegetable marrOws and onions to have fat
boiled Ia the water, with salt; no soda 9. All
things to be fried to be first well dried, well
Toured or egg crumbed and cooked In boiling
TAT, and plenty OF 1t. 10, Strain through til,
strainers all sauces, grayies and soups IL.
Dripping can be used for nsh twice; 1t should
not be discolored, bat while hot be strained into
lard or butter for basting and tor pastry. II
s should be noted that stewing and simmering
mometer will soon show the difference between
the two processes. Boiling points not reached
under 2l2 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas simmer
Ing requires only 186 degrees.
