In arranging china and glass in the
pantry individual taste must be the
guide. The principal idea is to put
things in daily use within easy reach
The top shelves are reserved for those
plates, dishes and glassware less fire.
quently needed. A narrow piece of
wood should be nailed two or three
inches from the back of the shelves,
that there may be place for platters
and large meat dishes. Care is needed
that anything easily broken is not put
in front of them, as they must be
often lifted out Small hooks screwed
at certain distances under some of the
shelves are great convenience for
hanging cups and small pitchers, and
this arrangements adds much to the
general good appearance Of the pantry
itself.
The linen, (table cloths, napkins and
all covers used in the dining-room)
should be kept here in drawers; where
they are not built n, a small chest Of
drawers either painted or stained will
take the place Of the stationary draw
ers very acceptably. "A judicious ar
rangement is to keep one drawer for
fresh linen, another for that used at
the different meals, including the felt
cloth used under the table-cloths, and
another with the extra supply of linen
all practical housekeepers feel the need
of. Where there IS q sink in the pam
try there must be racks for soap, a
place for dish-pan and rinsing-pan,
and a convenient arrangement for
keeping a good supply of towels. This
same pantry, il provided with small
iee-chest or refrigerator, will commend
itself in several ways; for saving time
in putting away many little titbit
for some late conner or for keeping a
small supply at hand for late supper.
Date puffs are a dainty dessert. liked
by children and by no means despised
by their elders. They require two eggs,
one cup of sugar, one quarter OF cup
of butter, the same Of milk, one tea
spoonful of baking powder, and flour
enough to make thin batter. Stir in
one cupful of stoned dates; fill muffin
cups half full, and steam thirty min
utes. Serve with a liquid sauce or
with sweetened cream.
At chil6ren's party the name cards
of the company of little girls who sit
down to a five O'Clock supper might be
one of the most attractive features to
the young guests of the entire enter
tainment. They are sugar cookies, roll
ed out very thin, and cut in an oblong
card shape. Then baked, and after
ward the initials of each child written
on with stiff icing pressed through a
paper horn. sugar being sprinkled over
the initials.
An expert in the compromising OF
fruit salads says that an orange salad
to which is added at the last moment
after the usual arrangement of fruit
layers and sugar small after-dinner
cupful of apricot brandy, leaves little
to be desired. The apricot flavor con-
tributes touch that is quite indescrib-
able, but altogether palpable.
A substitute for punch in a dinner
menu is to fill the glasses with bits of
grapefruit, oranges, and sliced Malaga
grapes, mixed with rum or sugar This
must be served very cold.
Orange Marmalade-Is very much
relished for breakfast. The English
like it made with the peel left on,
and Americans generally like It With
