Supper, which should be one of the
pleasantest meals of the day, because
at this hour work is over, and the.
family can enjoy one another's society
without anticipation of coming duties,
is too often neglected by the housewife,
who does not realize its Importance.
There should always be one warm dish,,
which need not be elaborate or expen-.
sive. Cold bread and butter, dish OF
fruit and a slice of cake form an old
fashioned, unrelished country supper.
Celery on Toast: If not used in
soup, celery may be creamed and served
on toast. The following recipe is we'll
worth trying: Cut the stalks of celery
into inch pieces, cover them with milk
and let them boil until tender. Season
to taste with salt and pepper, and liber-
ally with butter. pour over squares Of
hot toast and serve at once The milk
may be omitted and the vegetables
stewed in water till tender. seasoned to-
taste with salt, pepper and butter. In
this recipe it is not to be served on
toast. A pinch of soda should be added
while it is cooking.-Boston Budget.
A jewelers. journal tells how to
wash chamois skin as follows: Make a
weak solution of soda and warm wa.er,
rub plenty of soft soap into the leather
and allow it to remain in soak for two
hours, then rub it well until quite clean;
afterwards rinse it well in weak solu-
ton composed of warm water, soda and
yellow soap. It must not be rinsed in
water finally, for then it would be SO
hard as to be unfit for use. 1t is the
small quantity of soap left in the
leather that allows the finer particles Of
the leather to separate and become
soft like silk. After rinsing wiring well
in rough towel and dry quickly, then
pull it about and brush it well and it
will become softer and better than most
new leather.-N. Y. World.
