HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
MRS. S. A. NETTLES.

close together the given Width from
above to below through each hem al
ternately, plating at the same time
the threads thus stretched from one
side to the other, thereby showing the
three strands in plait-weave next to
the upper and next to the lower hem.
The stitches must be sewed well up
from the edge of the hem and regu-
larry, say sixteenth of an inch apart,
or less, or more, according to the ma
terial, silk, wool, or thread, used. This
border will suggest others.
High-backed dining-room chairs
are no longer considered desirable, so
low-backed chairs are the fashion.
The high-backed chair is the more
picturesque OF the two, but it is said
to be very inconvenient for several
reasons, the most important of which
is that it does not admit of graceful,
or safe, or easy serving on the part Of
the waiter. High backs and low-backs
are set alternately around some tables,
and thus much of the difficulty is OBJ
waited. There should, however, be at
least two high backs at the table, one
for the host and one for the hostess
for good effect.
CocoASUr CREAM.-To one pint of
cream add one cupful of grated CO.
coanut, and beat it until it is thick;
then add half a cupful of powdered

served.

one-third of cupful of crystal gela-

one-half cupsuls of -four, one cupful

and butter to a cream, then add the
starch and -four, and two teaspoon
fuls of cream of-tartar mixed in the
-four, and one of soda in the milk.
Put the eggs in last minute.
Next year when our bees have null
tiplied, and we have yet more honey,
I will add many more recipes. But
my own particular preference is for
honey just as the bees put it in the
ccmb.
