Gossip Of the Doings

w. ]. Shotwell, one of the directors
of the Western Pacific, is greatly
pleased at the showing made by the
line during the recent bad weather.
In speaking of this he remarked: You
know the route of the Western Pacific
was laid out with especial regard to
high water, and though we have been
assailed by the worst storm known on
this coast for several years, the grade
of the Western Pacific has not been
injured The canyons near Oroville
had the highest water ever known
and our grade was not affected, which
proves that we are safe. Two tempo
rary bridges were carried away, one
at the junction of the Feather and
Middle Fork rivers and the other at
Pardee. Two of the temporary piers
of the steel bridge which is to be
built at Sacramento were swept away
by the flood but that was to be ex-
pected. There was no damage to the
grade at Niles and we are we'll salts

How to Laundsr kerehiefs.

When washing handkerchiefs put a
small muslin bag containing a little
arrowroot in the water in which they
are boiled. This will give them a
faint but agreeable scent when ironed
If borax is added to the rinse water
it will give the sheer handkerchiefs a
little body without making them
harsh as when stiffened with starch
Then when ironing the handkerciefs
an excellent plan is to fold all torn or
ragged ones in a three-cornered shape,
while those that are in perfect condi-
ton may be folded square. If the
members of the household are taught
the significance of the different
shapes they viii often be saved from
the embarrassment of opening up a
ragged handkerchief. which was APP
parently respectable when neatly
folded.

come In Hot Weather.

Puddings made with corastarch and
turned over oranges are apt to be bit
ter; so are most tapioca and orange
puddings. Here is a new way. The
sago OF tapioca Is cooked to a clear
jelly in water in double boiler and a
pinch Of salt added. Turn this into
the juice Of several oranges. mixed
with plenty Of sugar If they are tart
II too sweet. use a little lemon Juice
with them. Pour into a serving dish
to cool and prepare two nice oranges
for the top by cutting them, skin and
all, into thin slices. Lay the slices
prettlly over the top and place on ice.
In this way the heat does not draw
out the bitter taste Of the oranges.
Bread is often wasted that could be
utilized in batter cakes OF buildings.
The queen Of all puddings is an old
time fayorite that can be put together
without great trouble Make it when
eggs are plentiful in summer. for in
winter It would not be an economical
way TO use the bread. One may find
many recipes, with slight variations,
but the usual amounts are the yolks
Of four eggs to a pint Of bread
crumbs. one quart Of milk, the rind
Of a lemon grated and one cupfuI Of
sugar. This cus:ard is baked. Then
it is spread with either strawberry or
raspberry jam or currant jelly.
The whites Of the eggs are beaten
stiff with cupful Of powdered sugar
in which some Of the lemon juice has
been mixed, the rind only being used
in the custard part of the pudding.
This is nice either freshly baked or
when cold. When ready serve cream
with il. Some recipes call for less
sugar in the meringue and others sug-
gest simply heaping up the beaten
whites of the eggs and dredging sugar
over them just before returning 10 the
oven to cook the meringue.

THE PORCH IN SUMNER.
Cushions and Pillows That Make for
Real Comfort

For porch furnishing and for the
summer parlor couch there is nothing
smarter than big cushions or square
pillows of down, covered with the bril-
liant plaided material of fine spun cot
ton known as madras. Just why the
East Indian name should be applied
to a material made in the West Indies
il would be hard 10 say.
A deep garnet. crossed with golden
bars, or narrow lines of deepest stem
green, is blocked with white or yel-
low. Amber tones. a glowing yellow
like the yolk of an egg are combined
with deepest marine blue, or a chest
nut brown. The plaided arrangement
is utterly unlike that of the Scottish
tartans. and always more vivid in col
oring

Be sure that the corner of your
