Large drafts of ice water are always
mischievous. If slipped slowly, so that
the stomach does not become chilled,
1t is usually harmless; and eaten slow
ly, ice cream rarely Injuries even an
invalid. Fruit juices diluted with cold
water and sweetened to taste will
quench thirst better than water, and
are abundant at the hay and harvest
season, when most needed.
One of the most wholesome dishes is
baked apple. 1t is delicious at break
fast as well as at supper. In fact ap-
pies in almost any form are invaluable.
For varietys sake try peeling the ap-
pies before baking them. Peel and core
them, fill the hollows with spice and
sugar, and bake long enough to give
them thin, crispy crust. Sometimes a
bit of butter is placed on top of each
apple before putting in the oven.
Serve them cold with whipped cream.
A certain housewife uses nothing but
butter in cooking, thereby making her
pastry and many other dishes much
more appetizing. She uses it even when
1t is at its highest price in the market.
In summer when it is at it's cheapest,
she buys TO- Is or even 20 pounds, and
puts it in a large preserving kettle on
the stove. AS the butter heats, the
scum rising to the surface is skinned
off. When the butter reaches the boil
ing point it is removed from the fire
and strained into large stone jar.
When cold it is covered with salt to

If damp bran is used instead of the
traditional tea leaves, wnen one sweeps
carpet, not only is the dust laid and
the work facilitated, but the colors are
frightened.
White enameled kitchen utensils Oft
en- become to all appearances hopeless
ly ruined when food has burned to
them. Place mixture of strong soap
powder and boiling water in such ket-
ties, let them stand two or three days
on the back of the stove without
changing the water Chen pour off
the water and rub the inside with
soft cloth. All blackness and stain
will disappear. Be careful not to
scratch or scrape the kettle before
soaking in this way as the enamel will
crack.
writer in Harper's Bazar warns
girls who indulge in sea bathing
against allowing the salt water to re-
main in their hair. Sea water makes
the hair harsh and brittle, and often
destroys it's color Light hair is per-
manently darkened. The same warn
,, ing should be given to girls who spend
much of their time in the open air.
A little sun is good for the hair; too
much of it is fatal. A young girl de-
votee of golf quite ruined her fine
blond tresses in single summer. The
girl persstently went without a hat,
spending day after day on the links.
At the end of the summer her abun-
, dant hair, a beautiful blond tone in
June, had turned TO an ugly, ashy hue,
scarcely recognizable A year later the
: hair had not regained its original
brightness and probably never will.
