face for the relief Of pain is an old and
now universally recognizes its value.
One good way to utalize bits Of cold veni
son is to chop them fine, then heat with
some of the gravy left from dinner, or, if
you have none, with little water, in which
you put generous lump of butter; season
with pepper and salt; then fill some patty
pans with the venison, and cover the top
with crust. Bake until the crust is "done
brown"
Housekeepers who do not think they can
afford to have Worcestershire sauce on the
table often, can make bottle of it to do
good service by using the sauce as q favor
ing extract. There is nothing which adds
a piquancy and an indescribsbly good taste
to grsvies likc this popular sauce. A table
spoonful is enough to flavor medium
sized gravyboat full of gravy.
If you have plain, boiled rice for dinner
and have little left, it is Dy no means nee
essary that this should be thrown away; it
will help to make delicious fritters; add
milk and -four and one egg for the batter;
if you have fruit to put in, so much the bet
ter; drop by spoonfuls in hot lard and fry
till delicate brown; little sugar in the
batter helps to give it brown tinge.
An appropriate gift for a musical friend
is music portfolio, luxuriously lined with
silk, and ornamented with suitable designs
in outline stitch. For example, q pongee
portfolio is lined with brown satin, and
finished with cord. On the outside is
large harp, done with brown silk in out
line stitch, and intertwined among the
strings in an old English script is the le-
gend, eff music be the food of love, play
on" or the notes of some fsvorite strain
with the words, or a bar of some sonata
with the composers name, may De substi-
tuted.
For jumbles, take one pound of butter
and one pound of white sugsr-powdered
or granulsted-rubbed together to cream;
add elk we'll beaten eggs, the juice and
grated rInd of two lemons; to this add
-four enough go that you can mould them
into shape with your hands, but not roll
them. Dip each one in cracked loaf sugar,
drop blsnched almond on each. and press
in the centre of the tumble. Great care
must be taken to prevent burning while
they are baking. The quantity here given
makes large number of cakes.
How many mothers know that they can
knit up ss we'll as DOWN. When children
have reached the age when they wear out
the knees of their stockings and the heels
and toes also, the ingenuity of woman must
be exercised. In the most hopeless-looking
stocking there is usually a strip at least an
eighth of q yard long which is too good to
throw away, and yet is too much worn to
pay to ravel out and knit over; from this
then cut off the ragged top and bottom, and
knit up as we'll as down. II you can not
match the color, use another shade, or TO
brown strip knit a scarlet or grayish brown
top.
"Fsvorite' pudding is made by beating
three eggs very light, the whites and yolks
together; flavor with the juice and grated
rind of lemon and half tesspoonful Of
grated nutmeg; to this add one cup of gra-
ted bread crumbs, one cup of finely chopped
apple, one cup of English currants and enc
and half cups of sugar; stir these vigorous
ly till we'll mixed, then put in buttered
pudding dish and boil for st least two
hours and half. Serve with any good
sauce, or with cream and sugar alone.
One way to beausify baby carriage and
to make the young occupant appear to ad
vantage is TO make pillow-case for his pill
low of blue silesis; to this may be fastened
on the upper side soft cover of daIned
net. with an edge of torchon. Fasten this
to the silesia with small bows Of narrow
blue ribbon. Make each bow unlike the
others. This can be placed on the pillow
when the baby is to be taken out in his
best-at other times plain white pillow
case edged with Hamburg or torchon ia
good enough for the best of babies.
In fancy work are some new crewel de-
signs that are more than usually effective
and novelty adds charm that is peculiarly
its own. On tinted oat meal cloth are fixed
at equal distances five inch blocks of colored
sateen--pink, blue, yellow, or cresm-only
one color, however, being used for any sin.
