Litt1e WINE Ate Everything.

Until they are trained to eat properly
youngsters are usually like little pig
gies. They root" through everything
and leave a muss after them. Willie.
6 years old, has a pair Of parents who
try to break him of the habit Of TAX
ing things on his plate that he cannot
eat and leaving much to go to waste.
He is in fair way to improve under
their watchfulness.
"You must eat the crust, too, Willie"
his mamma will say, and Willie will
dutifully eat the crust.
"Don't take such a large piece OF
cake, Willie, unless you can eat II"
his papa will say, and Willie will take
it and stuff himself with it rather than
to leave a crumb for his father to
grumble about.
The other day Willie was invited to
birthday party. His mother dressed
him in his best clothes.
"Now, mind, WILLIE" was the last
thing she said to him; "eat everything
you take on your plate.
Willie came home that evening with
severe pains. The little girl in whose
honor the party was given was ID
years old. Her mother had baked q
birthday cake, and part Of the, scheme
Of ornamentation Of It were Is wax
candles. There were three Of them on

far better to have the oven too cold to

Have large round bottom earthen

AS some flour swells more than others
the whole amount called for in a recipe

you must scant 1t or add little more

Test the oven again and put in the
cake. 1t will not be good if it waits.
An ordinary loaf of cake should take
about an hour to bake. Don't look at it
for at least ten minutes after it goes
into the oven. Be particular to close
the door carefully and not to jar the
stove. which would make the cake fall.
The draft may be increased after the
pans go in. but be very careful how
you lessen the heat.
If the top of the cake browns too
soon. have piece of asbestus paper to

1t should not begin to brown until fully

Easy Pick I'm work.

Summer fancy work should not be
too exacting- nothing that requires
much thought or taxes the languid
brain with counting. For this reason
the cross stitch on linen in which each
little square is worked over is desira-
BILE.
In one easily and rapidly executed
variety of this work the design is care
fully outlined in stem stitch with a
coarse cotton or thick kind Of wash
ing silk, while the background is en-
tirely filed in with the cross stitches,
thus leaving the design in the cream
colored linen, for instance, effectively
contrasting with the colored back
ground.
The designs for this variety are very
frequently large and bold. and when

DOUBLE CROSS STITCH.

this is the case the background is gen.
orally marked out in larger squares
than those used for the ordinary Rus
sian cross stitch, and these are filed in
with kind of double stitch in which
the threads are taken not only from
corner to corner of each square, but
also across the middle, thus forming a
very solid sort of stitch which COM
pletely covers the linen foundation.
This stitch is sometimes called in
France point du diable," but our
grandmothers frequently used it in the
old days of woodwork on canvas" and
it is said they bestowed upon it the
more polite name of "leviathan
