HOUSEHOLD BREvlTIES.

"A beautiful effect was produced at
recent country house wedding by a
vine curtain which fell over the broad
full-length mirrors of the drawing
room. Among the green were tied
roses at frequent intervals, producing
the appearance against the mirror of
resting on water.-N. Y. Times.
Bread Cake.-Three pints light
bread dough, one coffee cup of white
sugar, one teacup three-fourths full of
butter, two eggs, one-half nutmeg

creased deep tin or basin, in which it is
to be baked. Bake in a moderately
hot oven until done.-Farm, Field and
Fireside.

Potato Cheese cake.-Four ounces
OF butter, the same of powdered sugar,
and six ounces of white potatoes
boiled and mashed through a sieve; the
rind of one lemon and half the Juice,
unless more acid is liked, when the
whole may be put in. Mix these in
gradients well together, with two
eggs, and fill with the mixture tart
pans, and bake in moderate oven.-
Harper's Bazaar.
Apple Snow.-Peel and CRATE one
large sour apple, sprinkling over it a
small cupful of powdered sugar as you
CRATE it, to keep it from turning dark.
Break into this the whites of two eggs
and beat it all constantly for half an
hour. Take care to have 1t in large
bowl, as it beats up very stiff and light.
Heap this in a glass dish and pour a
fine smooth custard around it and serve.

An artistic and beautiful living
room is within the reach of most of
us who are willing to give time and
thought to supply a possible lack of
means and opportunity. The two ne
cessities of perfect room are artistic
form and fine coloring. Harmony of
color renders any room agreeable, while
the reverse is unsatisfactory, often ex-
asperating. A pleasant outline, an
agreeable suggestion of tone or shape
in room has it's effect ON all who may
enter it.
Fairy Ginger Cake.-Quarter of a
cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar,
half cupful of milk, two of flour, half
teaspoonful of soda, half table
spoonful of ginger. Dissolve the soda
in the milk. Otherwise put the in
gradients together in the order they
are mentioned. Spread as thin as pos
sible on fat tins and bake brown. 1t
can be cut easily while hot, just as it is
taken from the oven. Remember to
spread very thin, and then see if the
children don't like it.-Orange Judd
Farmer.
Potato Salad.-Boil eight pota-
toes in their skins, and do not peel
them until they are cold. Rub the in
side of your salad bowl with a Glove of
garlic (if you dislike the flavor of gar
lie you may omit this). Slice the pota-
toes into the bowl, and add to them
an onion which you have minced fine
and scalded for five minutes in boiling
water. Season the vegetables with
pepper and salt, and pour upon them
five tablespoonfuls of oil and two of
vinegar. Toss and turn them in this.
Some people relish the addition of a
couple of cold, boiled beets sliced
