In the preparation of our coffee, or
in the buying of coffee, it is very much
better to buy the coffee unground. for
after it is ground the aroma or flavor
is very quickly gone. If the coffee
u be purchased ground take only
small quantities and keep in a glass
or tin jar. AS soon as it comes from
the store empty it out at once, for If
allowed to stand in the paper a large
amount of the strength and quality
is gone.
Chicken pancakes is a new one. Cut
the breast of cold chicken into dice
shaped bits, mince some skinned and
blanched mushrooms, add these with
a tablespoonful of finely chopped ham
and a truffie finely chopped. Let these
simmer in just enough good stock to
keep them moist and free from burn
ing. Make a thick light pancake.
spread esome of the mixture over it,
put another pancake on top, garnish
with parsley, and send to the table at
once while hot and fresh.

of cold water, yolks of four eggs. two
tablespoonfuls of -four, butter the size
of an egg, five tablespoonfuls of vine

tract. Boil until thick, then bake with

of sugar, beat together and spread

pie and is much cheaper and more
easily made.
One of the worst features respect
ing the unlimited adulteration of food
is that the taste of the people living
in the cities is becoming so Initiated
that there is positively no check on
the use of adulterated products. People
born and raised in the city, who have
never tasted jams and jellies prepared
by the conscientious housewife in the
country, do not hesitate for a moment
to buy and use the beautifully labeled,
highly colored preparations on the
table, for the simple reason that they
do not know how to Judge the false
from those that have been honestly
prepared.
Try some potatoes with cheese for a
change. Heat one cupful of cream and
when at boiling point stir in a heapins
teaspoonful of -four mixed smooth
with a little milk. When cool add the
beaten yolks of two eggs, a sprinkling
of red pepper, a salt-spoon of salt and
a teaSpoonful of lemon juice. Slice
cold boiled potatoes into a baking dish,
season with little salt and pepper and
bits of butter, pour some of the sauce
over them and sprinkle thickly with
grated cheese, tnen more potatoes,
sauce and cheese. until the dish is full,
covering at last with bread crumbs
and cheese. Bake slowly for half an
hour.
AS the mending of stockings will
hardly go out q fashion as long as we
continue to wear them a labor saving
hint may not come amiss. When a
hole appears, examination will show
that the opening is due largely to the
stretching apart of the broken threads
and if these are caught together with
fine cotton or silk, there will be less
darning to do and the place will be
smoother and better strengthened
when finished. OF course the darning
ence OF thinness. This method of first
drawing the edges into place Is also
used to greater advantage in the saw
ing of labor and better results in re-
pairing torn pieces in other garments.
The thread used for the preliminary
may be taken out if it shows at all
when the mending is done.
