Dear sir: While in Hartford recently
I ate some delicious Clipped pear, and
asking my hostess for the recipe, she
gave me the following which I think
you may like to use in your interesting
"Hints for Housewives
CLIPPED PEAR.
Eight lbs hard, coarse pears baked,
pared and shipped.
Eight lbs. graduated sugar.
One-half lb. green ginger root (Buy
at drug STOREY
Six lemons.
Remove seeds from the lemons and
chop the rinds fine. (Best to put
through a meat chopper) Scrape and
slice ginger root, add one cup of water
and simmer all slowly for four hours
and bottle.
This will seem thin when done, but
will stiffen as it cools. Yours truly,
E. c. W.

Keep tea in a well covered canister.

To thicken clear soup use pearl tapio-
ca Let it boil clear and then add to the
souD.
Use lemon juice and salt to remove
iron rust, ink and mildew on white
goods.
After blood stains have been well
saturated with kerosene, wash in cold
water,
Put a teaspoonful of powdered borax
In old starch; it gives extra stiffness to
the linen.
Before using a new broom steep it
IN warm water for a few minutes and
It will last longer.
Vinegar water cleans and brightens
gilt frames. Use one-fourth vinegar to
three-fourths water and apply with
soft brush.
Fruit stains, when fresh, may pe re-
moved by pouring boiling water
through the stained portion until the
spot disappears
To clean the silver spoons and forks
IN everyday use, rub them with damp
cloth dipped in baking soda, then polish
them with a piece of channels leather.
Put tablespoonful of ammonia in a
quart of water, wash brushes and
combs in this, and all the grease and
dirt will disappear. Rinse, shake and
dry in the sun or by the fire.
Aluminium used in a griddle or bread
or cake tins need not be creased. The
food comes from them clean, brown
and without the aid of a knife. A waf-
f1e iron of aluminium is expensive, but
it is as light as the iron is heavy.
French dressed halibut, use one
pound and half of halibut cut into
strips or circles, laid in a French salad
dressing for an hour, dip in beaten egg
and bread crumbs and fry quickly i'll
deep fat. A spoonful of sauce tartare
may be put on each plate; garnish with
lemon or water cress.

It is a. pretty idea to serve fruit at
This season from the basket An ar
rangement of autumn leaves and inter
twiningvines adds to theseasona bleness
of the notion and if a dainty bow of
ribbon to match the leaves is tied on
the handle Of the basket the whole ef-
feet is pleasing and appropriate.

A nice chicken salad may be made
of chicken breasts divided into outlets.
Cover these for an hour or two with oil
and vinegar, a slice of onion, stalk of
celery and a little parsley. Prepare a
mayonnaise jelly by mixing together,
in equal proportion, cold aspic jelly and
mayonnaise. Coat the pieces of chick
en- with this keeping them cold so that
the jelly will not melt. Serve on lettuce
hearts or shredded celery.

with the pie mixture. Bake in thir
crusts of puff paste. This makes two
small pies.
Light cakes require a rather brisk
oven to raise and set them. Cakes
raised with baking powder also need
quick oven. Much sugar in a cake
will cause it TO burn quickly, therefore
the oven must not betso hot for them
Large, rich cakes require long an6
careful baking. Small sugar cakes
need a slow oven. Ginger bread
should be gently baked. The oven door
should be kept closed until the dough
sets; and all the time the cake is bak-
ing the door Of the oven should be
opened as little as possible, and very
gently closed, as slamming it will make
q cake heavy.
