Household Suggestions.

Nothing is more refreshing after cold
walk or drive than a glass of genuine
Russian tea Its effects are more slim
ulating than ordinary tea. although the
slight nourishment afforded by the cream
used is missing in the Russian tea. Make
the tea in the usual way, sleeping a little
'onger. Fill thin glasses two-thirds full
of cracked ice, add squeeze of lemon
and thin slice Of the same, sugar if de-
sired. and pour in the steaming tea. The
ice should be fine enough to cool the tea
at once to the proper temperature for
drinking.
An ingenious cook keeps cracker boxes,
3 inches by II inches in size. to bake loaf
cakes in. OF course. the quick baking
cakes are not indicated, but when a cool
or a slow oven is required the boxes run
no risk of burning. and the parafine pa
per with which they are lined prevents
the cake from sticking. The size and
shape are exactly right for slicing.

Plants for Table Decoration.

The most satisfactory plants for table
decoration. all things considered. are
few species and varieties of ferns4g of
which the small and dainty pteris are
the most useful. writes Edwin G. Powell
in Good Housekeeping. A plant for this
purpose must be small aud OW-growiny
of a good green color and capable OF Nv
ing without sunshine and with little az
tention. Some plants, like the maiden
hair fern. absolutely refuse To live more
than a few weeks in a house. Others be-
cause of the color Of their foliage or
strong odor of their flowers are not adapt-
ed for this purpose.
The best course for the hnusekpencr.
oftcntimes is TO have her fern dish poftcd

kind Of soil and fill it with plants best
adapted to the purpose. Such n dish
will last for several months without re-

MUM falcatum, commonly known as tha

Along with the ferns other plants are
commonly employed, and with good effect.

propriate III the center surrounded by

a small dracena or q pandanus may b.
