"A new kind of patchwork for the
little ones which is typical of the '.age
we live in" when contrasted with the
neatly Joined bits that our grandmoth-
ers taught their children to overland
together, is nevertheless very effective
and pretty. Small pieces of colored
calicos are tackled either in crazy-quilt
fashion, or in a pattern on muslin
foundation, and the jennings are hidden
by working the ordinary crewel stitch
over them with coarse white or red
working cotton.--N. Y. Tribune.
-Caulifower Salad: Boil a cauli-
flower in sailed water till tender, but
not overdone; when cold cut it up neat
~ in small sprigs. Boil up together

dish lightly with an onion, arrange the
pieces of caulifower ON it, strew over
them some capers, little tarragon and
parsley, all finely mixed, and the least
bit of dried thyme and marjoram.
Pour the oil and vinegar over just be-
fore it is required. -Housekeeper.

pieces of celery and pinch of salt, and
simmer very gently for twenty minutes
Tor five minutes longer If the joints are

small quantity of some carefully pre-
pared vegetable, if the latter is suited
