Five Minutes Ginger Bread.

There are few suggestions which have
occurred to me wh1le have been reading a
number of different recipes, and I am going
to pass them on, if you allow me. for the ben
fit of those who have not had anv experi
ence. 1 was reading recipe this morning
where sour milk is used Ii the best results
are to be obtained. never use soda alone
but take an equal quantity of tartar; also
be sure that your milk IS firm and solid. not
too sour and therefore watery.
Use 2 cnpS fl nv cup boiling water. 1
cup molasses, l teaspoonful soda (leveD. I
teasDOOntul ginger (evel), 4 teaspoon salt ::
1 tablespoon of shortening will give a per-
feet gingerbread If baked in moderate
oven. If people rearzed how many pre-
terred gingerbread to cake for common use
and how much better it was for them, there
would be great reformation begu in the
line of swee crke and Das'ry, and one of
the duties when take so much of our time
would b. done away with. 1t takes me
about five minutes to make this gingerbread
and my family prefer 1t to ordinary cake.

Cottage Cheese,

This is delicious made in this way.
"Ciabbere0" milk, not too DID, should be
poured into d large vessel and heated until
the whey will separate from the curd. The
precise temperature Is easily learned by ex-
pertinent. 1t must be learned il you wish
the cheese just right. An approximate test
is when you cannot hol your finger in the
whey. Remove from the fire, drain through
a colander, work it fine with the hands and
drain off every bit of whey. 1t is now 10 be
eaten as 'curds and cream" Add sparingIy
of salt. Work into the curd a little thick
cream which has just turned sour Make a
pyramid in pretty dish, or balls, and sur
ro1nd with curled parsley. This cheese
must not be left to get old; however, there
is usually no chance for that.

have narrow, low rim and be trimmed
in ribbon or velvet, matching the suit in
color. A plain veil should be worn to pro-

The shoes should be pair fitted to the

After all the pleasant time sought will
depend very much on the spirit of the

A determination not to be annoyed by
unpleasant happenings, little consideration

mind that what is wrong to do at home is
wron to do away from home, will all help.
