A pleasing drink for luncheons, where
women do not take wine, may be made
from undiluted orange juice. This is
served in tall glasses, and into each glass
is dropped a pinch of sugar, a Tokay
grape cut in half and seeded. a slice of
canned peach, a banana, orange or grape
fruit.
In making any of the clear jellies from
gelatine fresh rose leaves, pansies or
orange flowers are frequently moulded in
for a novelty. Candied violets or rose
leaves may also be used in the same way.
English chocolate pots are usually pro-
vided with what is called a muddler. a
longpaddle with a handle passing through
the lid of the pot. When a cupful is to be
served the muddler is turned to prevent
the settling that otherwise takes place.

"What are children good for, anyway"
once asked a bachelor. whose patience
had been exhausted by the questions of
an inquisitive boy. Good to make men
! and women Of" was the ready answer of
the child. The fact is one which should
never be lost sight of. the people who are
training the children of today hold the
fate of the future in their hands. We
train our horses carefully, we educate
our dogs, and trainers understand that
the training must begin early. The first
seven years are those for which the Jes-
uits ask.
Nursery teaching lasts through life, and
the hour in which you play will your
J children and direct their games will be re-
membered years afterward, when the ruff
files and tucks to which you devote SO
much labor are worn out. When you are

There is no such easy way 10 teach her
the art of needlework. No matter if she

eggs, a gill of cream and three-quarters
of a pint of milk; pour it boiling hot
gradually on to the burnt almond paste;
when cold add a gill of whipped cream
and freeze at once. This only makes a

multiplied according to the quantity of ice
required. Lemon Ice Cream: Rub the rind
of two lemons on to three ounces or SUI

juice of four, bring. to the boil and put it

If you nave any old lace which has be-
come too yellow to use, you can bleach it
by putting it in a glass preserve jar full
of water with a little of one of the we'll
known pure white soaps shaved, says
"Vogue." Shake we'll and set in the sun.
If not white enough in one day repeat,
| changing the soap and water. When the
lace is white, rinse well, but slightly and
clear starch, with very thin starch; clap
it well after dipping. Pin it out on the
ironing board, or on a sheet. on a car
peted floor right side down, and let it
dry. The selvedge of the lace should be
pinned first to keep it straight, as should
every little point. 1t is seldom necessary
to iron lace if tits properly pinned.
Delightful summer frocks, which can be
