In the substitution of pin-trays for pin
cushions an opportunity is afforded for COW
ering a part of the bureau or dressing table
with a pretty sachst. These are in varying
sizes, the smallest being infinitesimal and
the largest vast enough to conceal the
whole bureau top. In the latter case no 9TH
er cover is necessary, and the toilet access
series are laid upon the sachet, which, of
course. is nat, and but lightly stuffed with
the perfumed wadding. That is a dainty
fancy which many a woman has now Of
keeping every article of ner personal pos
session sufficiently in contact with the one
odor she selects and solely adheres to for
them to absorb and retain a faint trace Of

shows more lack of taste than the over-free

whole Wheat Bread.

Having for some time used this bread,
and finding it the most nourishing and
easily digested, have come to the conclu-
sion that it should be used almost to the
entire exclusion of that made from fine
white flour, which passes through SO many
processes that all the most essential prop
critics are extracted The ~albuminoids and
phosphates in this whole wheat are re-
tanned, the hull being only excluded. After
experimenting with the different recipes
better bread: Three pounds of flour, one
cake compressed yeast, two tablespoons of
lard, two OF sugar, one OF salt, mixing
either with milk or water, will make three
loaves about the size of our bakers FIVE
cent loaf. First put your flour in basin,
then mix through it thoroughly
the lard, salt and sugar. Now
use wooden spoon for stirring
in lukewarm water or milk, being careful
to pour in slowly, as it must be so thick a
spoon can scarcely stir. Should you nave it
too thin your bread would be sticky and
soggy. Last put in the yeast, which has been
dissolved in half a cup of lukewarm water.
Now stir it for ten minutes, when it will
be ready to stand in a warm place to get
light, which will not require the length
of time of other bread. When light put
into pans, letting stand to rise again, which
will be but a short time. Then bake one
hour in an oven not hot enough to burn.
It will come out a lovely brown. All house
keepers are 10 doubt aware tina bread

dry. But as each loaf is cut it seems fresh
Keep wrapped in a course towel and in a
tin bread box. 1t also makes lovely toast
If children are given this bread rather

not want to be eating all the while, as this
supplies the necessary food qualities thu
bones and nerves require.
