LittIeLessOn
in Economy

When one wishes to have a hot dessert
in summer. as they sometimes do, there
is nothing more dainty OF less trouble than
a souffie. One must understand. however,
that the handling Of these "trihes light
as air. must be as light and dainty as
the preparation. in order TO avoid failure
The making of a soufie is exceedingly
simple; the only difficulty is in the serving.
This must be done quickly. Unless they go
directly from the oven 10 the table as soon
as done they are apt TO fall. especially if
the cooler air strikes them. They should
be covered with a heated pan until they
reach the dining room. When the cock
finds that she can make a soufie with un-
failing certainty of success. she is tempted
TO have them very frequently, on account
Of their delicacy and their requiring SO
little time and labor. There are souffies
and s~ouf1es, however. The omelet soufle,
the most favored, is the most difficult on
account OF its exceeding lightness. Those
with cooked foundations do not fal. so
quickly. but as a rule must be served at
once when done. AS they require so little
time to put together and bake, they should
not be made too soon, as they must not
wait the pleasure of the table. Let the
table wait the few moments necessary for
their making and baking and to insure sue
cess. See that the oven is in just the
right condition and have all materials ready
to put together at just the right time. The
frothed whites of the eggs must be folded
not stirred or beaten in, as the aim is to iu-
corporate as much air into the soufie as
possible and keep it there.
Omelet Soufle.-Separate six eggs very
carefully dhe eggs should be very cold)
add a tiny pinch of salt TO the whites and
beat them to a stiff, very dry froth. Beat
the yolks of three of the eggs to a cream
with six level tablespoonfuls of sifted pow
dered sugar; then add the grated yellow
rind of half a lemon. Fold the beaten
whites into this mixture as lightly as you
can thoroughly to mix materials. This
may be baked in a slightly oiled pudding
dish, or, if you wish something more elab-
crate, turn part of it into a fat dish with
bread edge, heaping it in mound shape and
making a depression in the middle. Put
the remainder in a pastry bag with a large
tube and press out, forming some design
for decoration. Sprinkle powdered sugar
over the top and bake in a very hot oven
for ten minutes. Serve at once in the same
dish. This may DE favored with a table
spoonful of lemon juice, a teaspoonful Of
vanilla or with orange juice and grated
rind, as preferred.
Vanilla Soufle.-This is a sample of the
souffle with cooked foundation: Put half
a pint of milk in the double boiler with a
a pinch of salt. Rub together to a smooth
paste two tablespoonfuls of butter and two
of flour, and when the milk is scalding hot
pour it gradually on the paste until il is
dissolved; then turn back into the boiler
and stir and cook for ten minutes

Concerning Honey.

The head Of the largest bee supply house
In the country has had a standing offer Of
$1,000 out for several years 20 go TO any
one who could furnish a fairly good cOun-
teTfeit box of comb honey.
That scores OF people AVE tried goes
without saying. but the ingenuity of man.
even with. a thousand-dollar bill hanging
in front Of him. has failed 10 produce even
an approximate presentmenc. Nor Is the
strained honey always open 10 suspicion.
Tons Of absolutely pure honey are shipped
10 the East from Arizona and California
every year. and when the bees themselves
are doing so well IL would be superluous
for man 10 add his labors 20 theirs. That
there are different grades Of honey is well
-known-some infinitely preferable in flavor
to others. but the glucose imitation may
only be feared at the hands Of the cheap
and unreliable grocer.
In strained honey. as with spices. teas
and coffees. the consumer Is largely az the
mercy Of the grocer. Hence the advisable

fully embroidered in white are finished with

past few months continues, all trace OF the

the rufles that are so stylish a finish.
They also outline lace or embroidered me-
dallions end edge folds of cloth. silk or

as a banding or gathered. Inch-wide velvet
ribbon is liked for edging bias ruf7es or

waists, and nothing is too odd or fanciful
in its arrangement. The range Is from
inch tucks 70 the finest pin tucks. and all
manner Of geometricaI designs are planned
from them. Stirring and shocking are
used freely also. and look well on soft ma
terials. Lace. OF course, takes the lead as
a trimming. but any Of the fancy braids,
cording. narrow ribbons or passemen-
terie may be employed. Very pretty, in

in white and in hatiste colors. also those
OF very fine white China silk. The former
are beautifully embroidered in white silk
or linen threads, and many are appliqued
with tiny lace or embroidered medallions.
White embroidered in black is especially
pretty. White embroidered in delicate tints

the trimming is restricted TO the outer side
of the brim. where, besides a bunch Of
flowers or fruits, it includes a dropping

I've heard of people borrowing almost
everything on earth. but the tale a Dakota
woman tells me quite puts all I've heard
before in the shade. She says she was stay
ing with an old friend on one of the bo-
nanza farms in the Northwest, and there
happened TO be visiting in the same house a
somewhat elderly woman, whose teeth
troubled her so much that when a dentist
from Fargo came that way for a few days
she had him pull every one of them out.
She was TO go to Fargo after a little while
and be fitted with a complete set of tailor
made teeth.
When the time came, and she began to
turn over in her mind the entertainments
i'm store for her in Fargo, and to think of
the people she'd be meeting before her new
teeth were done, her heart was troubled
within her. So, according TO the Dakota
woman, who is the most truthful mortal 1
ever met. she took the hostess of the bo-
nanza farmhouse into her confidence, and,
as they were about of a size, asked her to
lend her her false teeth for the Fargo trip.
She said she'd send them back just the min
ute her own teeth were sent home, and she
wouldn't mind a bit if they weren't an ex-
act fit.

An advertiser of n reputable article
should choose his mediums as carefully as
he selects his friends. The character of the
journal always has an influence in forming
the readers impression and in determining
the degree Of confidence that will be placed
in the advertisers claims. The desire TO
use the right kin of periodicals., however.
is not always coupled with the ability TO
discriminate. and in such a case the adver-
tiser who fails TO seek expert advice and
acts on his own judgment is in a similar
position 20 the man without legal training
who attempts TO act as his own lawyer.
