Maria M.-Will you please send me
your receipt for making laundry soap,
also have you good receipt for a good
toilet soap adapted for baby use?
The receipt for laundry soap referred to
last year is the property of a third person
and l cannot give it away. 1t would be
difficult to make toilet soap adapted for
baby's use, as good soap requires age TO
fit it for delicate nursery and hospital
purposes. The best white CASTLE soap
sold commonly at 10 cents cake, should
be bought in quantities and stored to

pure and of the best materials, there is a
crudity about them unfit for sensitive
skins. Soap making is an art only to be
learned by great care and experience. The
best soap makers who have been in the
business for years find their watts of soap
at times failures from apparent triaing
causes.

substitute for the almond, and as it is
made less expensive, it is worth while to
know how to prepare it.
Being this moment flushed with tri-
umph-my effort at the s'salting'' today

while the matter is fresh in my memory,

and would not be mentioned except that
already two housekeepers who have eaten
OF my sailed nuts have asked il l started
with the ordinary roasted peanut.
l used the nut-cracker, gently crushing
the shell to avoid breaking the nut. By
using boiling water the peas are readily
blanched, the red envelope being easily
rubbed off. In my first essay the water
was not scalding hot, and that led to my
first discovery
In order to bring to the requisite heat
set the dish containing water and peanuts
IN the oven. Then there was short call
on my attention, causing me to forget the
nuts, and on going 10 the oven l found

boiling. But after rubbing off the skins,
l spread the nuts on a tin dish, treated
them to butter and set them in the oven
again. 1t was then at a baking or brown
ing heat, but was not a quick oven. This,
too, worried me, since the directions
called for quick oven. This second mis-
take, was sure, would complete the
failure.
Fhe nuts were in that oven for a halt
hour at least before they were Drowned OF
sufficiently parched, that is, until they
had turned a light snuff-color. Then 1
took them out and sailed them hot.
Were they spoiled? They were SUI

ate.
A similar verdict has been pronounced
on them by a half score of skilled 'tast-
ers.''
] now consider the peanut for sailing
preferable to the almond, because it is
more moist and will therefore bear long,
thorough, slow cooking before scorching.
Deep browning ought to be avoided, with
both almonds and peanuts, since this rem
ders the nut, in either case, bitter.
While the ordinary wasted peanut of
the market is trying to weak stomachs,
the sailed pea is purely harmless, and
may safely become one of our table deli
cacies. MARY MAXWELL.

Aid for the Hostess at Afternoons.

A mistress of ceremonies at afternoon
functions this winter is necessity; some
one generally who can by song or recita-
ton fill a vacant place on the programme
and who also can bring together consid-
cradle talent from among her friends for
some occasions when the hostess herself
has not the time to give to it. Women of
society, unused to speaking to a large
audience, like the idea, as it relieves them
of all responsibility. Mrs. Jennie D.
Losier, the President of Sorosis, is giving
this winter series of at homes, at her
residence in New York. At the last she
was assisted by Mrs. Lena Sittig and Mrs
Henry Firth Wood, who announced the
programme and gave several Rotations.

In Broadway window there is a group

The Women of the Chicago Univer-

sity.
The establishment of the Chicago Uni
versity marked step in both education
and civilization. The faculty has been
chosen from the field of the world, and
five OF its members are women. The first
fellow appointed was a woman. There
are to be more dornitory accommodations
for women than for men. The dormitory
and gymnasium distinctions areabsolutely
the only ones. The five women OF the
faculty are especially remarkable for one
reason. These women must necessarily
be in a great measure self trained, and
yet they were able TO come here and
take their places and ask for no odds.
HEAD DEAN OF THE woMAN's COLLEGE.
1t is the intention of the head dean,
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, TO keep the
social tone of the college at the highest
level. Like all women and men who
have been pronounced successes in any
avocatiOn which calls for large contact
with people, Mrs. Palmer first attracts
by her personality and then holds by her
attachments. She represents American
possibilities and probabilities. She was

stimulate people to read. 1t requires the
study of practical moral questions, also a
thoroughly trained mind.
Mrs. Dixon is a graduate OF Mt. HOLY

The first fellow appointed in the new
university was Miss Myra Reynolds, the
daughter of q Baptist minister in Pueblo,

was for some time professor at Walls

literature at Vassar.
There are several other women fellows
