CARE or TABLE LINEN.
One Great Mistake That Is Made by
Some Housewives.

II matters not how neatly one may
have the table arranged, if the table
linen is not spotlessly white the ap-
pearance is marred by the defect
Care must be taken of fine table linen
or tt soon gets the yellow dip so
much dreaded by careful housewives.
The first mistake is made by throw
ing the tablecloth in the laundry bag
with napkins which are damp, and
they always are when the finger bowls
are used. Each piece should be dried
and stains removed before placing it
away for washing To properly wash
them they cannot be made pure and
white If placed in with other clothes.
This is warning to heed. Soak the
linen in tepid water for three-quarters
Of an hour. and always wiring the
pieces by hand, for wringer creases do
not come out at times even under a
heavy hot iron. Next put the clothes
IN a good suds, wash carefully and put
in boiler Of cold water which has
nothing but bOrax to soften it. Bring
the water to boil. give the pieces a
second suds, then carefully rinse. Two
persons should stretch the long table
cloths and place on a line, hanging
them perfectly even. II ironing they
must be rather damp. Fold side to side
with one seam only. Iron perfectly dry
until gloss appears. They must not
be starched, since good linen is stiff
enough when properly ironed Hang
the pieces over a rod where they hang
perfectly straight and allow to dry be-
fore they are put away. Now would
you know why it is that some women
have their table linen always looking
new? 1t is done in folding the ironed
pieces. Boards such as are used TO fold
dress goods on are what you will need.
Cover the pieces with any old muslin
and carefully roll the table cloth on
this. If the sides are too long care
fully fold the edges toward the center
Put in the linen closet and when ready
for use you have a new-loOking piece
for the table. Do not comb fringe on
pieces, but use a moderately stiff
bristle brush for the purpose. In iron
ing mOnograms lay the right side
down on a Turkish towel and the let
ters will be. beautifully ironed in this
manner, which is an improvement
over the soft blanket method.

How to Can Piums.

To every dozen plums take one cup
Of sugar, one-half cup Of water, two
whole cloves and a small piece Of
whole cinnamon (spice can be omit
ted. Boil the sugar, water and spice,
wash your plums, I'LL jars full Of
plums and put jars in a pan of hot
water. After the syrup has boiled
skim and let cool a little so as not
to break jars; then fill the jars full
Of the hot syrup, put the pan with jars
in a warm oven but without rubbeTs
and covers, close the oven door and
let them bake 15 minutes. Then take
pan out. put on rubbers and covers,
fasten down tight and put back in
oven again and bake 10 minutes longer
and your plums are done and as whole
as when put in jars. VIII keep fine
and never fail.

Using the Gridiron.

Always grease the gridiron well and
have it hot before the meat is placed
on it. Fish should be buttered and
sprinkled with -four, which will pre-
vent the skin from adhering to the
gridiron. Birds and other things which
need to be halved should be broiIed
inside first. Remember that a hot.
clear fire is necessary for cooking all
small articles. They should be turned
often to be cooked evenly without be-
ing burned. Never put your fork in
the lean part of meat on the gridiron.
as 1t allows the juice to escape. Cover
the gridiron with a tin pan or a baking
pan. The sooner the meat is cooked
without burning the better; the pan
holds the heat and often prevents a
stray line of smoke from touching the
meat. If the fire should be too hot
sprinkle salt over il.

AppIebeFry jelly.

To one peck of Siberian crabapples
add four quarts OF cranberries, cook
together in sufficient water to cover
until soft and strain as for other jelly.
To five cups of the strained juice add
four cups of granulated sugar, dried in
oven. Heat the juice before adding
sugar. Cook 20 or 80 minutes after it
begins to boil. Let cool in glasses and
cover with parafin. Makes a beauti-
full tinted jelly. good served with poul-
try or other meats. All iellies and
jams are better made on a sunny day.
In the above jelly, If crabapples can
not be had in cranberry season, the
juice Of the crabapple can be canned
earlier in season and added to the
cranberries later.

Cut a half chicken into bits, strip
ping all the meat from the bones, and
fry until brown but not hard or crisp.
Now put into the frying pan with the

for three minutes before adding a
handful of dried mushrooms which
have been soaked in water for ten
minutes. Pour in enough Chinese
sauce to make the ingredients brown.
then add water and stew for Is min

To Clean Old Silver.

From a box of old jewelry laid away
and forgotten was taken the other day
4 sterling silver pin of oriental f1ligree
work as black as the proverbial hat
The usual silver polish did not take
effect quickly enough to satisfy its
owner and she dropped it into a small
pan Of hot water with a pinch of
bicarbonate of sSda and boiled it for
a quarter of an hour or thereabout
Then she scrubbed it with soap and a
brush and it turned out lovely dull
silver tone. If it had been boiled long
er or there had been more soda in
the water it might have been brighter

Becoming Fond of Tea.

We Americans are growing almost
as fond OF our cup of tea at odd
hours as the English. Even our men,
of late years, do not disdain their
afternoon tea drinking, which is Ger
tainly better for them than an unlim-
tied number of cocktails, though they
have scarcely reached the stage of
going home from business early for
that especial purpose as does the
brawny Englishman.
