uents OF the asparagus, and can De
made into a delicious soup if a little
beef extract be added to it, as it comes
from the saucepan. 1t may be made
into a cream soup.
A German cook will add a teaspoon
full or more, of sour cream to a meat
gravy, greatly to its improvement. 1t
changes the color of a too dark gravy
to a rich golden hue, improves the taste,
and acts as a slight ~thickening. In
making gravies, only just enough fat
to take up a heaping tablespoonful OF
-four should be kept; any more than
that must be poured off. The -four is
added to the hot fat without stirring
first in cold water. The gravy of a
roast is usually a stumbling-block to
the average cook; yet upon its excel
lence depends the favor of the dish.
Housekeepers may well take pains to
make good gravies, if only to teach
the knack to cooks deficient in lit.
Spioed apples will be found useful in
tiding the housekeeper through the
scantiness of her preserve closet. Make
a syrup of equal parts of sugar, water
and vinegar, adding a few whole cloves
and a few pieces of stick cinnamon.
When scalding hot put in firm, tart
apples, peeled and quartered and cook
ed until tender but o broken. Re
move with a skinner, boil the syrup
until it thickens, and pour over the ap-
Piles.
A sandwich filling useful for tea is
made of cold boiled chicken chopped
very fine, to which, for the meat of one
chicken weighing about three pounds,
is added half a pound of almonds that
have been blanched and finely chop
ped. Season the mixture with two tea
spoonsful of salt, a tablespoonful of
pepper and add a spoonful of cream.
Wien thoroughly blended in a smooth
paste, it is ready to spread on thin
slices of bread. cut in oblong or fancy

The dish lobster a la Newburg," it
it said, received its name from it's in
ventor, Newburg, a freQuenter of Del

objected to the use of his name with
the dish unless it was partially dis
guised.
A chiropodist advises that foot COM
fort is much enhanced as the spring
weather approaches if all callous plac-
es on the feet are made perfectly
smooth. This can be done easily, and
the feet kept in excellent condition, by
using a fine pumice-stone every morn
ing. The pumice-stone should. of
course, be wet, and if rubbed daily
over the points on the feet that have
hardened or shown a tendency to har-
den, the places can be made and kept
perfectly smooth. After a corn has
been removed, too, a light rubbing dali
ly OF the place where it has been will
often prevent it's return. These sug-
g%estions are worth noting, for the first
spring days are apt to cause tender
feet to swell and become painful, max
ing their n conscious of every
tender spot.
I 1t is noticeable that pins and rings
are less used on curtains than former
ly. All light weight curtains are hung
now from a medium sized rod, which
is slipped through a hem at the top.

Dust with a soft brush, then rub with
