A BOX OF CONTACTED SWEETS
Every housewife who takes pride il
her table feels her dinner is hardly
worthy of the name unless some dainty
in dessert form may grace the feast tc
make the end most sweet. Her provi-
dent mind. or else the necessity for clos
est economy viii not allow her to indulge
/ in what may be wastefUI extravaganza.
! She knows that the hearty, sustaining
food comprising the plain meal Of meat
| bread and vegetables is really all hef
( family needs for bare maintenance Of
health and strength. She. therefore
represses that innate desire Of every
born housewife for some of the rners
luxuries which give the artistic finish
to the repast. If you have a tiny plat
Of ground suitable for a garden, it is
more practical 70 plant it with vegetables
than flowers. But there is no reason
why you should not make your garden
attractive as well as profitable and to
this end brighten il with a few inexpen-
sive blooming plants
1t is just as possible for the house
keeper of limited means TO add that
touch of beauty and refinement to her
simple meals, which dainty but not nee
essarily expensive dessert will give.
Dessert JeIIies.
Among all the desserts there are none
more beautiful, healthful or palatable
than those made from a eglatine prepa-
ration which is known to be absolutely
free from all impurities and perfectly
wholesome
Such desserts are so light and easily
digested they may be partaken of by
even the most delicate person and chill
dren without the least fear of results
from over-eating of too much hearty
food. They are soothing and as CRATE
fully cooling to the palate as are the
sudden transition from the high temper
allure Of the hot foods as the very low
and Chilling temperature of the frozen
foods
Easily Made Dessert.
Nothing appeals more strongly to the
busy houseBeeper, especially if she has
but her two hands to rely upon in
the round of household duties than a
food preparation that viii save her time
and anxious thought The substantial
viands she knows she must provide-but
how much she would like TO surprise her
family with some pretty little kickshaws
at the end OF the meal
This has been made possible by some
of our enterprising food manufacturers
who study the question of domestic econ
omy mora closely than the average house
wife; and are. therefore, able and ready
TO help her in carrying out many little
pet ambitions relative TO her table, at
very small cost and almost no labor or
expenditure of time.
Gelatina jellies have always been prime
favorites with all classes of cooks, as
they lend themselves to such variety
of forms and combinations, from the
clear, sparkling lemon jelly to the elab-
crate and artistic moulded creation which
the chef delights in.
Instead, however of the old uncertain
and Iaborious method of maKNy even
the plain wine or fruit-fiavored dessert
jellies. made from calfs feet or even
the plain prepared gelatine and juices,
which she must prepare from fresh or
preserved fruits. the housewife can now
purchase a package of whatever kind of
dessert jelly she may desire. already
sweetened favored and colored with nat
IRA fruit juices lemon, orange. rasp-
berry. strawberry. cherry, etc. and by
adding a pint of boiling water to dis
solve the powdered jelly; pouring it into
moulds; adding fresh fruit if desired and
setting it at once in cold place to set

tractive dessert. suitable to grace the
table in the most modest hame or for the
entertainment of grandee Housewives
who are not blessed with "a jewel of
cook will find such helps over hard
places" a great blessing; for if her cook
cannot be safely trusted to even boil the
water which is added 10 these prepared
jellies. it wsl take but a few minutes
of the mistress time to do it herself.
while it will give her immense satisfac-
ton and relief to know that she can de-
