through the cenIer-Dy the usual JUN

A good Sally Lunn, made according
to the original Sally Lunn's recipe,
without yeast is this: Mix three cups of
flour, three tablespoonfuls sugar, three
tablespoonfuls melted butter, one cup
of milk, three teaSpoonfulS baking paw
der, and three eggs together and bake
in a loaf If raised bread is de-
sired, nothing is better than this often
tested recipe. Add two tablespoonfuls
melted butter to one large pint of
warmed milk, then two we'll beaten
eggs and half a yeast cake dissolved in
three tablespoonful cold water. Pour
gradually over one quart of flour, and
beat to a smooth batter. Add one tea
spoonful salt and one of sugar. Set to
rise for two hours in a warm place and
bake. To those who like the hop taste
a whole yeast cake may be used with
these proportions, and will, Of course,
accelerate considerably the rising pro-
cess.
Everywhere one sees the glitter of
gilt upon glassware. 1t is a lovely fam
cy in it's brilliant delicacy, but one that
is doomed to a transient favor, since
anything SO striking soon tires the eye.
The rich old blue tracery on glass,
beautifully executed in Bohemian
work, is a welcome change from the
gilt, and yet almost as gay in it's effect.
One sees among the directions of
frst-class culinary performers hints for
vrhaf
as brick of pink jelly with a spray of
natural roses of the same color nodded
into it. This is to be served on a blue
dish garnished with pink and deep-red
roses, perhaps While the color effect
would be attractive it cannot seem ap-
propriate nor pretty to persons of taste.
Nothing that is not edible should gar
nish food and certainly should not be
nodded inside it. This is the reason
why nasturtium blossoms, rich and
decorative in their coloring and shape,
with their foliage, may be used salts
factorily to embellish a dish of salad,
because both are agreeable to the pal
ate, often forming, in stem and seed at
| least. an ingredient of the summer
salad so that they seem not out of place
here. Nothing is prettier than mahog-
any and deep-yellow nasturtiums to
garnish the golden mayonnaise thrown
over a salad.
AT a recent wedding hangings of red
gauze yelling mirrors and at doors and
windows, draped over mantels, and, in
| fact, wherever opportunity presented
| We're accessories that were not as the
atrical as it sounds to tell of them. The
| flowers were splendid red tulips and
magnificent Jack roses, and, as the
drawing and halls to begin with
| were done in pale Empire colors. this
riot of red really gave a very rich and
| imposing effect.
| For the summer veranda an artistic
as well as useful bit of furniture is a
! huge, tall screen made of one or more
breadths of dark-red mating set in a
| frame of dark wood, or that which has
| been stained This shuts off a too con-
spicuous part of the porch when after
noon tea is served there, it protects a
certain portion from the sun and serves
as an excellent background for light
| gowns in conjunction with silver-greer
Japanese piazza curtains or rich blue
awnings, and with pretty cushions
| helps to make q gay scene inside the
vines which are an essential part of al
| ideal verandaS.
High backed, tufted leather settles
are made with a carved wood, canopied
top when intended for use in a hall
The top is omitted if it is destined fol
library or a dining-room. These are
most comfortable as we'll as attractive
looking pieces of the newer revivals OF
| old-style furniture.
