batter before the eggs. This is ais,
nice made in layers and put togethe
with white frosting. Marble cake il
made by taking out a great spoonful
of batter favored with vanilla and mix
ing with it a couple of tablespoonful
OF grated chocolate. In putting thi
cake into the pan, there should be /;
thin bottom layer of white, then som
spoonfuls Of dark, which should BIZ
given a stir to make the marble ap,
pearance-more white on top, o.
course. Three colors may be made by
separating the yolks and whites of the
eggs.
For making fancy cakes the dough
should be baked thin and cut into odd
shapes, which can be frosted on top
and sides and decorated with candied
fruit, domino dots or what not.
For spice cake cold coffee may be
used instead of milk, and ground
cloves, cinnamon, mace and allspiee
used generally according to taste.
Raisins may be added if desired.
If only n egg is at hand a table
spoonful of c%ornstarch may be used in
stead of the second, but the cake will
dry sooner. This is a very reliable
recipe and saves much time and trou-
BILE In searching the cook books for a
variety.
Shirt waists and such garments need
not fade in washing. Salt will fix the
color for a single washing, and alum
will fix it permanently, and neither will
fix the dirt in the fabric. Soak in mild
salt or alum water for half an hour,
then put quickly through a clean suds
(using mild soap. rinse quickly,
starch, and hang in the shade to dry.
If there seems any loss of color add a
little alum to the starch. Any good
colored material SO treated will look
new until it is worn out.
Flannel-washing is a process entire
ly distinct from general washing. Soap
must not touch flannel, nor can it be
wrung by hand nor washed on a
board, each of these missteps result
ing in shrinking, hardening and stiff
| ening. Soap should be cut OF shaved
into bits and entirely dissolved in a
little water Ca quart will be enough
for a BARI on the stove, and this liquid
soap should be added 20 water barely
lukewarm until a very strong suds
is obtained. The fannels should be
soaked in this suds two or three hours
then rubbed by hand until perfectly
clean, then rinsed in water of the same
temperature, wrung as dry as possible
by putting through a wringer, stretch
ed (both ways), and hung up to dry
where they cannot freeze. If very
soiled they should have two suds in
stead of che. Flannels so washed will
retain their original softness and will
not shrink. Flannels may be ironcd
when almost dry, or quite dry. They
must not be sprinkled and rolled up,
The delicacy of olive oil as a frying
medium is somewhat counterbalanced
in the minds of many h~ousekeeperf
by it's alleged expense. But oil, like
lard, may be used a number of times
1t should be poured off carefully after
being allowed to stand a moment IN
order that n dregs may settle al
the bottom. Like lard, if fish is friet
in it, that supply should be kept to fry
fish only.
A formula for a cream salad dressin.

and two teaspoonfuls of vinegar. HAY
a pint of rich cream, very cold, an
beat until smooth and light. Stir thi
a spoonful at a time into the egg mix
ture.
Better than tin ans for keeping tn
tea and coffee are the ordinary glas
