namely, that the milk be sweet and only
luke-warm, tina is, about blood heat
the sweetening and ~favoring be dissolved
in the milk, the dry tablet, il that be
used. dissolved in as little water as pos
sible-one tablespoonful-added and well
stirred in the milk. and the mixture turn
ed at once into dishes for serving and
not moved during the thickening process.
The simplest form is merely the sweet
ened milk, favored with vanilla and eat
en- with sugar and cream. but ! find it an
improvement to add a tiny bit Of salt
with the sugar and to use less sugar than
most receipts call for. The milk may be
favored with coffee or chocolate, or with
grated lemon or orange rind, or with an
extract of nutmeg, almond or rose. Some
times beef extract is used. When it is
not desirable to have the junket white, it
may be tinted, not colored deeply, with
color pastes. Do this before adding the
solution of rennet.
Junket may be moulded in one large
dish-glass is preferred-or in individual
forms-frappe cups, etc. Fruit may be
moulded with it, but be careful to use
fruit which is not too acid. Sliced bana-
mas, ripe figs drained from the syrup.
fresh ripe strawberries, raspberries and
peaches are suitable. Or the fruit juice
may be strained from the mashed pulp
and sweetened to taste and eaten with
the junket, with or without cream. Mild
apple jelly. orange jelly and French cam
died fruit. finely shredded, may all be
used with junket.
The unpaid services of the housewife.
the disproportionate payment of women's
work in regard to its value, the economic
value to the State, of homes and of the
work done in them-all these questions
have been brought up by the recently as
sembled Congress of Women; 1t remains
doubtful, however, if they have been sat
isfactorily disposed of, or ever whether a
satisfactory solution of the problems
they present, is possible.
If you would know whether the house
wifets work is worth doing. you must
ask those for whom she tolls; but if you
would know whether or not it pays her
to do it, You must ask herself alone. Of
a truth, she is one who faces life as a
giver and not as a taker; who regards
work as her glory and not merely as her
duty; can we say, then. that she is not
treating her situation on the broad lines
of race. and that her work is anything
else than a valuable social function, per-
formed for all society as well as for her
own Individual set2 Let US rather rejoice
hat in our utilitarian age, when men
measure success by facts and figures.
there remain to us some who have eyes
TO see beyond and through these; who
have ideals above realities, who can gid
common clay until it looks like gold, and
who can find in Love the fulfilling of the
Law.
The worker whose heart is in her work,
be it professional or trade work. or mere
" that of a housewife, will always make
that work pay will make it yield a re-
compense beyond that of figures. There
is a reward in work, both for men and
women, when it is honorably and credit
ably performed, and which benefits others
even If it leaves the worker monetarily
poor. To all true workers there can be
but one standard of value by which to
test work-nanely, is it worth doing2 If
1t be SO, then it can never be unpaid.
A design which reflects positive pride
upon the very elegant family Of silk pet
ticoats can be developed after this pat
tern in striped turquoise blue taffeta
with trimmings of lace and black ribbon
velvet. The skirt is close fitting at the
top and is hung upon a pointed yoke of
black satin, or turquoise blue can be sub
stituted for the black.
The front panel of the skirt is made of
heavy insertion. which has its pattern
outlined with narrow cords of black silk.
It seems a pity, too, that so much ele-
gance must be kept from view, but when
It is considered that these pettieoats are
worn in the boudoir with fancy dressing
sacques to match, the trouble and ex-
pense of getting them up are not re-
GREETED
Around the foot of the skirt are six ac-
Gordon plated ruffles, each put on with
a heading finished with a tiny ruffle of
lace. Lovers knots of the ribbon velvet
are scattered over the skirt with studied
negligence. Worn under a thin gown Of
the same color, without a lining, the eff
feet of such a petticoat is delightful.

The requirements of health can be
counted on the fingers of one hand,
They are good air, good food, suitable
clothing, cleanliness and exercise and
rest.
The first two requirements affect the
blood. and as the blood circulates all
over the body. every part of the body, in
Guiding the brain, is affected.
Fresh air affects the purity of the
blood. The freshest air is out of doors.
and it is the duty of every one to spend
a certain amount Of time in the open air.
Good food is not necessarily expensive
food.
Exercise and rest should alternate and
balance each other. 1T is quite possible
to take too much exercise, and this side
of the question must be guarded against
just as carefully as the other.
Women, as a rule, do not rest sufi-
GENTLY. Every woman should try during
the day to get a few minutes of rest.
even if it interferes with her regular
work.
1t is impossible for her to attend to
the health and welfare of her family If
her own health suffers from overwork
and lack of rest.
T insure success in catering for a
small family. attention must be given to
