The trick Of cleaning furs should con-
| tinue until no dust arises. Them the
pieces should be put out in the sunshine
| for day or two and then beaten again
before they are put away
| If the lining is soiled or warn, remove
it before putting the garment away for
| the summer. ~
F The closet in which the furs are to be
placed during the summer should be
scrupulously clean as well as cool.
Muslin or some close woven material
should be selected for the bags in which
the furs are to be placed.
With petite fours" sixty cents a
pound at the confectioner's and bakers,
and in constant demand for all sorts of
social functions-weddings commence
ment receptions, May parties, teas, etc.,
it is a gift worth cultivating to be able
to make them at home at half the ex-
pense. Bake simple light sponge cake
| in hollow tin like baking pan. The
| cake should not be more than an inch
| in thickness when baked. When quite
could turn out on the moulding board
and with sharp knife cut into diamonds,
dominoes and squares. Split each of
these through the centre, spread one of
the halves with soft frosting, jelly, pre-
serves or a chocolate or mocha filling,
put the other half ON it and ic etop and
sides with a delicately colored and flaw
ored icing Color with some cochineal to
| a pale pink and flavor with rose; some
with a pale green icing, colored with
| spinach juice and favored with pistache;
Others with yellow favored and colored
with orange, others with violet favored
with the same. The white icing or cocoa
nut filling may be favored with almond.
Some of these cakes may be left with the

| let, an English walnut meat, a eandided
cherry with a tiny bit of angelica to
simulate leaf; an arbesque of chocolate
pressed ON through paper tube, or a
bit of citron.
| The amateur who wishes to try berry
growing will find the black raspberry a
good plant to begin with. The raspberry
is in all probability the most honest of
berry growing plants. There is no waste,
the berries are uniform in size, and as
soon as gathered they are ready for the
table or for preserving. A plantation of
six or eight years. 1t will grow in al
1 most any soil except very stiff clay,>o
1 one that is so poorly drained that the
water stands ON the soil for some tinee
before being drained away. It is heavy
feeder, so it's soil must be fertilized every
year or two to keep up its maximum pro-
ductiveness.
/ A northern exposure is best for the
| plant, for it suffers from extreme heat
and the direct rays of the sun more than
extreme cold weather. A sloping ground
! IS preferred to either the summit or base
| of hill. The black raspberry is prop
agated by burying the tips of the GAME
with a spade and bend the cane so that
the tip will lie in the hole, then cover it
with soil and press it down. The weight
of the soil will usually hold the cane; il
not, small peg may be used. In the
| fall young plant with mass of roots
will have been formed The old cane
may be cut away and the young plants
will be ready for setting out In most
cases it is well to let the young plants
remain until spring before transplanting
Proper attention should be given to
pruning raspberries. Cane of the first
season produce fruit the following sea-
son, but after that can be cut away.
Guessing games are always popular,
especially when prizes are offered for
the most successful competitor At a
recent neighborhood evening gathering, a
typewriter list of twentyy-four "scram-
bled' words were given to each guest to
straighten out, writing the correct word
opposite the tumble. The list was taken
from objects in the room, all of which
were in plain sight. 1t included such
strange appearing words as naoridn, OF
| ypter, epilarecf, dwniwo, okobs, cutiper,
kesocbo agru tobeak, rutnica, etc, which
| being rightly interpreted became andiron,
pottery, fireplace, windown, books, pic
ture, bookcase and so on. The prize was
a pretty bit of Indian pottery. Another
