lndeed,sgenerally speaking many useful
pieces Of best quality plated ware can be
bought at about the sans cost as good
china; they viii last for many years,
and can be replated at any time. A prac-
teal vegetable dish<has a detachable nan
die; removing it and inverting the cover
turns the single dish into a pair OF low
ones suitable for salads, compete, etc.
Dreamed caullhowers and purees are
served in silver dishes, because these re-
tain heat longer than china; for the same
reason the silver plate, with its dome
shaped cover, is in high favor for grid
die cakes at breakfast.
Other suitable silver pieces are bread
trays. nut bowls, platters for meats, game
and fish; holders for Edam cheese ana
the round bottomed bottles of ginger ale'
pepper and sugar shakers.

discarded and their places filled with

Indigestion Really Means in the feoru-

heated milk. No other food is actuaiy
necessary-in fact, one might be better on
with even a lighter meal. The neaVy
breakfast, quickly and carelessiy eaten
by the average family, brings ABOUT such

consist of a cream soup, two or three
slices of whole wheat bread and butter,
any little light minced meat. and again
fruit. This meal may be closed with a
rice pudding. a cup custard or some
simple dessert made principally from eggs
and milk. rice and milk, or whipped
cream. The night meal, after the day $
work is over, should for its first course
have a perfectly clear soup, either plain
consomme or a bouillon made entirely
from vegetable matter, or a clear, ngnt
tomato soup; the idea is to warm ana

nourishment. Follow this with a red

Pretty little black silk pockets were
sold at a woman's exchange during the
fecent holidays. They were made of
ffve-eighths of a yard of double-faced
satin ribbon, three and a half inches
wide. This was turned over at each end
on opposite sides to form a pocket about
five inches deep. The hem of this pocket
was feather stitched across in black, or,
If 50 preferred, could be in gold or any
other color. The ribbon was then folded
so that enc pocket hung just above the
other and was gathered at the fold with
out cutting, to a large black safety pin,
by which it was attached to the belt.
These are convenient for housekeepers'
pockets, for holding a bunch of keys
and a handkerchief or in going about
the streets to hold a little change purse
and memorandum book. Some young
girls made them in sets to go with their
stocks and belts, using solid color or
more effectively a plaid ribbons for
the tie, waistband and pocket. Such a
set made an extremely pretty and attrac-
tive gift put in a pretty box with a little
sachet.
1t is easy enough to have a great black
velvet hat all a-gloom, with black plumes,
but to have a bit of priceless real lace
with just the right bloom of ivory upon it
TO draw across the brim of the hat, that is
another matter. And it is one that makes
all the difference between a picture hat
and one that is merely a "big hat" The
all-black velvet hat is not as plentiful as
many women think. The reason that the
very biggest of fine hats does not look
gloomy and heavy is hat it is not all
black. The brim may be black, but like
as not it is black mousseline de sole and
not velvet. The very edge may be REIN
forced with a putting or a pair of bands
of velvet. The crown will as like as not
be of. dark blue velvet instead of black,
and every other feather of the richly nod
ding collection will be blue instead of
black. So, Though the entire hat will seem
to have the dusky effect of an all-black
picture hat. it really is quite different.
In view of the fact that there is a SUI
-perabundance of peanuts raised every
year in Virginia, North Carolina and
other parts of the South, the suggestion
is made that peanut oil be used more
extensively in pharmacy, and be permit
ted to. take the place to a certain extent
of olive oil, says the Pittsburg Dds
patch.' Professor S. p. Sadtler recently
Produced an experimental soda soap from
the oil extracted from American peanuts.
