French ana Italian restaurants, but
dates are now stuffed with cream
cheese. apples are accompanied by
cheese. melons and cheese are said to
be gastronomic compliments and to-
matoes stuffed with egg and cheese
are commended as excellent for li,ncn-
con or supper. To prepare them Sc
lect as many round firm tomatoes as
are needed. Wash. wipe and cut from
the top CT each tomato n thin slice to
serve as a cover Scoop out a little Of !
the inside OF the tomato. put In a bit
of butter and then drop In an egg, ,
taking care not to break the yolk. .
Sprinkle salt and pepper over It, dot
with butter and cover with thin lay
cr OF grated cheese. Replace the top
of the tomato and bake in hot oven
for about twenty minutes, or until
tender.
With the growing appreciation for .
decorations Indian comes the newly 1
awakened interest to the fact that the I
Mexicans of Old Mexico and our own
Southwest have many beautiful things
to offer us.
The serapes or blankets are fine in
weave and often of beautiful color
ings and design. They are too light in
weight to be used as the Navajo rugs :
are for floor coverings, but they make I
beautiful couch covers, portleres and .
wall hanglngs. .
The rebosa or picturesque long scarf !
which all women in the Spanish.
American countries wear thrown over
the head and shoulders lends itself ad-
mirably to decorative purposes. 1t I
comes in all colors, though the soft 4
cadet blue affected by most of the j
Mexican women is usually most effec- }
tive. When the rebosas are made in
silk, the color harmony Is particularly :,
fine. They are usually finished on the y.
ends with a deep knotted fringe. !
Their long, narrow shape makes them =
specially suitable for piano draperies I
and the like. j
Before washing red table linen add I
little borax to the water. 4
If an ordinary dining chair needs to 7
be made higher to accommodate I
small child try California cxpedient, 4
that is almost equal to having rubber {
lifts and is a vast improvement on J,
using the dictionary. This Is simply !,
to procure four of the glass insulators
such as are used on telegraph poles,
and set the chair legs into them. !

Lochinvar, comes out of the west" .
An excellent housekeeper who has I
learned to do her work the easiest {
way, washes her Navajo rugs every j
two or three months with the hose. =
Instead of the old-time back-breakng !.
beating, she has the rugs brought out !
of doors, hung over line or on the Z
fence, and then turns the hose on =.

they are turned over, and the wetting =

fresh and perfectly free from dust.
The unfortunate possessor of a red 3,
nose may be glad to know that cer- 3.
tain cure is promised if the following :.
directions are obeyed. Cut the meals :
down to three a day, and take all :
foods and drinks cool. Do not eat -
meat more than three times week, Il
and then only the lean. The foods j
which chiefly give rise to the COM j.
plant are sweets, fats and very rich :,
ones These must be avoided, par Z.
ticularly the sweets. Tea and coffee :.
must be left entirely alone. Drink
cocoa, cool and only slightly sweet =
ened, milk and water or barley water =
at meals. Take two hours open air +
exercise daily and sleep with open I,
and cure will undoubtedly 4.

An excellent oyster sauce for fish Is :.
made in this way: Stir together in
a half cupful of butter and y
two tablespoonfus of -four. When +

and stir constantly until thickened. j
Add one-half dozen oysters cut in bits, 4
and a few drops of lemon; let it just =,
