Dainty Butter Pats.

If you want your butter to look really
inviting, have it done in tiny rolls, one
for each person You can buy the cor
rugated boards for making it up. Scald
them thoroughly first and let them lie
in cold water till you are ready to be-
gin. Take bit of butter about as big
as walnut, put it on one board, and
with the other pat it down till it is
about an eighth of an inch thick. Then
roll it, place it on the butter dish. and
do the next in the same way In hot
weather these should be thrown into
salt and water If you want to make
them some hours before using and only
placed on the dish when wanted.

may be made to last an abnormally
long time is to burn the ends of the
stems with a piece of wood; not with
