Housewife:
No yvodaii who values the peace OF
mind OF her family will serve cucuiIi=
bers and onions sliced together The
bers should be in one dish and
the onions in another. The latter
should not be allowed to stand upon
the table, as their strong flavor will
tnfuse itself into all :he other ~iands.
They shcugh instead he passed by the
waitress to those who like them and
then be removed from the scene of &C.
ton.
question which must have arisen
in the mind of every one who has eaten
oatmeal from blue Porrilge bowls or
peaches and cream from bite saucers
Is, why de- hot,sekeepefs ever allow
milk to be served in blue ware: Tile
richest cream ever sent out of a model
d airy takes on a thin, milky look in
blue bowl. AS for mere milk, it seems
like the very skinned, half-water
fluid dear to the professional humorist.
alue is = charming color for tableware,
but the inside of dish which is de-
signed to- hold cream should be OF Il
rich yellowish tint, that will intensity
the quality of the dairy product.
A plate is an awkward dish upon
which to pile sliced bread for break
fast Or luncheon. It has an unrivalled
taeulty for scattering crumbs: A
better. Very pretty ones. 1nade of
closely woven glasses in which a line
of green is here and there discerniblc,
are sold cheaply. The bread basket
makes possible the display of an en-
broidered dolly as lining, and is to

There are still housewives who do
not know that the accommodating Sill:
versmiths have invented a sort of
spoonfor< for those desserts which
seem to demand both implements 1t
is spoon-shaped bit of silver, rather
sharp at the edge, and dividing into
two prongs, with which an obstinate
speared, while the spoon part insures
the gourmahd against the loss of the
surrou nding sirup.
fable linen embroidered in white
possesses an advantage over that
marked with colored silks. Its owner
does not have to replenish her CHI ina
closet in order to have tremendously
set ia BILE. Linen EN- broidery has an
Advantage ever oills in that it does not
become yellow with age in washing.
The regulation tablec1oths and nap
kins are most effective looking when
they are adorned only by a narrow bit
of drawn work above their hemstiched
hems and an embroidered nlonogra III.
In the tableclOth the monogram is ar
ranged to lie on the center of one side,
between the edge of the table and the
centerpiecc, with the tops of the letters
pointing toward the center. Napkins
are folded in four square parts and the
monogI am embroidered in the center
of one division.
There is no place among civilized
beings for the woman who fails to have
q canton flannel under cover for her
table, or for her who allows the laun-
dress to iron tablecloths and napkins
into intricate designs. or for her whose
waitress is permitted to set knives.
forks and spoons in ''stacl<ed-arms'
style at each place,or for her who fails
to put ice under her butter during the
dog-days. or for her who does not have
a bunch of flowers Or a bit of greenery
on her ia BILE at every meal, or for her
who fails to serve hot plates with hot
food and cold dishes with cold viands.
