SIMPLY DELICIOUS.
low Expert Pastry Cooks Make n
Fresh Strawberry Pie.

One Of the most delicious of all pastry
Is pie of fresh Strawberries. Line a
deep tin pieplate with the incest pastry
you can prepare. Fill the pastry with
uncooked rice and bake it in the oven.
When the paste is done remove the rice;
it can be soaked and used for boiling,
or it may be kept on hand to bake in
pastry. 1t simply serves to prevent the
form of pastry from rising and getting
out of shape as it would if it were not
filled. Apple jelly is sometimes used
to fill the pie, and when the crust is
baked its contents are scraped out, leav-
ing perhaps quarter of an inch of jelly
in the bottom. The apple jelly is some
times given the exact flavor of straw
berries by mixing strawberry juice in
equal proportions with apple juice
when the Jelly is made. When the crust
is filled with jelly it makes rather
more elaborate pie, but takes moe
time.
In either case, as soon as the crust Is
baked dredge little sugar over it and
fill itwith perfectly ripe, luscious straw
berries well sweetened. Heap sweet
sned and whipped cream thickly over
it. 1t may also be covered with mer-
ingue made of the whites of three eggs
beaten to u stiff froth, four tablespoon
fuls of sugar and the juice of half a
small lemon. Cover the berries careful
ly with the meringue, which is non
conductor of heat, and isolate the pie
plate holding the pie from the oven bot
tom by setting it on thick pine board,
and bake the meringue in this way in
moderately hot oven for 20 minutes. If
the work Of isolation has been properly
done the berries will not be heated, but
the meringue will have risen and will
be well done and only a delicate brown.
Remove the pie to cold plate and let it
become ice cold before serving it.-N.

When young man marries and

tinuous conversation at the telephone.
'Send me up pound of carpet tacks.

say, send me half peck of nails. Ten

say, 1 want a good strong stove leg.
We broke one in moving. None of your

got to do is to send up leg"

WOMAN AND HOME.
PRETTY VEIL CASE.
4 Present Which Is Not Only Attrnc-
tive, hut Useful Also.

4 Present which Is Not Only Attrnc-
tive, hut Useful Also.
Many women find an added charm in
a gift that has been the personal handi-
work of friend. The article seems to
its actual monetary one in such case.
Yet, with plenty of spare time on their
hands, and all the necessary executive
ability, many givers of presents are
obliged to content themselves with the
purchase of their gifts ready-made be-
cause they cannot plan out anything
that shall be ut once useful and orna-
mental, and so able to justify its anna
teur construction. To such u puzzled
devotee of the work table, the veil case,
shown in the accompanying sketch, is
offered for consideration. There can
be no question about its pretty APP
pearance, and any woman who has had
her good veilings spoiled with knocking
about in her drawers, to catch inevita-
bly, upon every glove, button or hook,
will decide that such a separate recep-
tacle for them would be of the utmost
service.
For a present that is to be as hand
some as possible, the veil case should
be developed in white satin, with pow
behring's of blue forget-me-nots, a lin
ing of pale blue silk, and cord and
ribbons in q similar shade. To make
the shape, the ubiquitous mill-board
must be again called into requisition,
and two palette shapes cut from it;
the size may be decided at the work
er's pleasure, but generally useful meas
urements would be from 7h to 8
inches in length, and about six inches
across. This gives the veil comforta-
BILE space, IL it is folded carefully.
Cut two pieces of the white satin,
and two of the blue silk, the same shape
as the palette, only rather larger, to al
low for turnings. Then proceed to
stretch piece of satin and piece of
silk on either side of cardboard por-
ton, taking care that there are no
wrinkles; turn the edges of the ma
terials inward, and stitch firmly to-
gether round the edge of the palette.
The remaining piece of satin must be
daintily embroidered with single flow
ers and the word "Veils" in forget
