tisrranIum Leaves g . FlavorisG.

From time immemorial the rose ge-
ranium has occupied prominent place
IL popular favor. Our grandmothers
have been known to strew the fra
grant leaves among their lingerie, but
few know Of the culinary value OF this
humble plant. The next time you are
making crab.spple jelly try this re-
:eipt with few glasses; Have the
geranium leaves washed to free them
from any possible parasites. Then,
just before pouring the hot jelly into
the glasses, throw small leaf into
the bottom of each glass. It may be
allowed to remain until the jelly Is
used and will not spoil 1t in any way.
The result is an indescribable flavor
which improves the jelly immensely.
Sometimes when baking cake line an
earthen plate VIII the geranium leaves
and turn the hot cake out upon them,
leaving it there until quite cold. The
steam absorbs the fragrance from the
leaves, giving the cake the daintiest
possible favor, that suggests nothing
30 much as the odor of La France
