HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

= If a cake rises in heap in the cen
ter it has baked too fast. If it has
a coarse grain it was not beaten
enough or the oven was too slow.
Terpentine will destroy vermin if
applied generously to the cracks and
infested places. It is especially good
to use in the case of bedbugs.
If cranberries, rhubarb and like acids
are not sweetened until nearly ready to
be removed from the fire, they will not
need nearly as much sugar.
The level measure is the rule, and
level with a knife, not spoon. There
is a glass measuring cup, which is to
be advised if one is buying new, but
whether one has this or not, the same
cup should always be taken. A coffee
cup is the usual size meant by receipts.
Never measure acids in metal.
When potatoes have begun to be old
and rather tasteless, soak them before
cooking in sailed water. Boil them In
water to which some salt has been
added, and when they are done, drain
all the water off, keep covered and set
back over the fire to steam perfectly
dry. Stir the kettle to prevent the po
,tatoes from sticking to it, but do mol
! uncover them. Thus cooked they viii

PROUD OF HER SOUPS

Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart, whose ne
gro dialect stories ard readings have
made her famous, lis one of the best
cooks in America. She has made
money as we'll as a wide
reputation for her books, but
her pride is much sooner touched by
reference tc her soups than to her ro-
mances. When wearied with the pen
she can always find solace in mixing a
salad or compounding a gumboo, and
shows veritable genius in all that re-
lates to sauces and savories.
In the kitchen over frying pan her
keen sense of humor expands. She can
spin funny plantation jests and jingles
by the yard, her dialect is as sweet as
that Of a caneshed Niger and hear
ing her then, the listener realizes what
a remarkable gift this Louisiana woman
possesses. It is probably a combina-
ton of her southern temperament and
talents as a cook that causes Mrs. Stu

orally understood that where the au.
thoress is, there good things to eat are

WOMEN NEED INDIVIDUALITY

The chief requisite in the makeup of
the woman Of this period seems to be
" individuality. She must be just
herself, = and not ape any of her friends
nor take on any Of the little airs and
graces of her acquaintance.
Of course, her popularity will depend
upon just what form this Individuality
takes But, in view Of the possibilities
Of the age and the resources from which
she has to draw, it is confidently ex-
pected that she will be perfectly
charming woman.
Rude manners, unrefned speech, over
audaciousness are not to be counte-
nanced for a moment. In this tWenti-
eth century women are supposed to
have put away the childish things
which femininity may have acquired in
the march of progress, and to have ar
rived at the age of discretion. when
common-sense rules hold good.
Atho women are taking upon them
| selves more duties and are having more

QUEEN HAS FEW JEWELS

for queen. AS the youngest of three
sisters, her share of pretty things was
naturally smaller than those of the 9TH
er two. The most imposing ornament
Of which she can boast is diamond
necklace left her by her godmother,
the old duchesssof Inverness. A con-
dition attached to the legacy was that
on no account should it pass into her
possession until her wedding day. 1t is
said that when at last she was per-
.mitted to clasp it about her neck she
said coquettishly to her husband that
he must not take too much credit to
himself as her bridegroom, for she felt
she must make some sacrifice to
gain possession of her godmother $

Speaking of 1T, in Munsey's Magazine, Emma B.
Kaufman says: ''The father remembers the day of
his sons first public appearance. So does half of
Naples. It in the Teatro Nuovo, and-wonder
of NOTWITHSTANDING Caruso to receive 40 francs
month for singing-just for snging All day long
the father went about chuckling to himself. They
were going to pay Enrico to sing! He to sing
in AMIGO Francesca opera by signor Morelli, and
people would give up lire to hear him!' Now Enrco
receives 81 200 night.
Dignity does not weigh very heavily upon the
great tenor He is said to turn handsprings
sonally behind the scenes and he loves to tre with
his dignifed associates. Here, for instance is
story Miss Kaufman tells of practical joke played
by Caruso upon another Italian opera singer GiraI
doni:
'Caruso is singing dvinely of his most famous
parts-Enzo in La Goconda.' His friend Giraldoni
meets him in the center of the stage They bow
with dignity, they shake hands with empressement.
So it appears to the splendid, expensive audience
that fills the auditorium but Giraldoni feels
thing in his hand, something soft and smooth. He
clutches it while Caruso whispers 'Beware!' Fur
lively Giraldoni looks down. He has in his hand
an egg. Beware, beware!' He tries to give the
egg to the chorus, but the Of the chorus adore
Caruso and will not spoil his joke For the rest OF
that Giraldoni breathes forth melody gesticu
latng with clenched hand in which he clutches
an egg. ''-Current Literature.
