it takes the stiffness out of it. If neces-
sary to press it, lay the piece of silk be-
tween newspapers.

in your kitchen, one above the other.

Lemon Tea Cakes: One egg, one
cup of sugar, half a cup of butter,
three tablespoonful of milk, the
juice and grated rind of two small
lemons, one teaspoonful of baking
powder, flour enough to roll out Cut

fore peeling, and allow one pound of

I'm making the pretty glass jewel
boxes that are so much the fashion, be-
fore binding the edges with the ribbon,
| take care to stretch piece of bias mus
lin tightly over them and stitch together
| at the corners. This will prevent the
sharp edge of the glass from cutting the
| ribbon, which, if drawn snugly from
corner to corner, needs only to be folded
in the middle and caught together with
needle and silk (as was the muslin
strip to make it quite as secure as if
pasted down, and, of course, much
neater.-N. Y. World.
Boiled frosting: Boil one cup sugar
and one-third cup water until it will
| thread. Pour the sirnp slowly on to
tf" well beaten white of one egg, beat
ing all the time; add one teaspoonful
vanilla. It will require from ten to
fifteen minutes boiling for the strip to
thread" In testing use cold spoon,
as the strip will not thread from hot
one until it is cooked too much. The
sirup must be poured over the egg very
slowly, if possible, one person beating
the egg with an egg heater, while an
other adds the sirup.-Boston Globe.
| "A warm bath, or at least an ablu-
ton, every day is essential to child's
welfare. The temperature of the water
| should at first be 1000 F., and should
gradually be lowered to about 80 o; the
temperature of the room should not fall
below roo. The child should be imme-
diately taken out of the bath, if its lips
and fingers begin to look blue or its
jaws to culver. After every bath it
must be rubbed dry and laid in a warm
| bed. A warm bandage is necessary.
| partly to support the abdomen, the

protect the child from cold.

| one pound of veal, a few slices of ham,
| yelks of five eggs, three mushrooms,
one sprig OF parsley, pepper and salt,
