TABLE DELICACIES
GOOD SUGGESTIONS BY ExPERI-
 ENcED COOKS.
Proper Way to Make Caramels-- Banana Salad a Pleasant Change Good to Remember When
 Feeling Oranges.

Caramels.-Burn one cup of brown sugar and add cup of water, little by little. Put in another cup of brown sugar and some butter and let it boil. When 1t hairs put in but tered pan and cut. If you want them to be chocolate caramels add some chocolate or cocoa.
 To Peel oranpes.-If you will pour scalding water over the oranges and let them stand five minutes you will save time in peeling them. The thick white inner skin, usually so hard to get of, will adhere to the peel and beautifully clean and ready to slice.
 Improved Pleplant.-To improve the taste of pieplant stew some finely cut lemon peel with 1t
 Banana Salad.-This salad is served in banana boats, which are large, firm banana skins, from which only one strip has been removed. The grapes used in this salad are Malaga: cut in halves and remove seeds. The ba- nanas are peeled, sliced, and quar- tered. the endive, very white, Is shredded finely and the whole mass of fruit is covered generously with or ange juice and over all pour mayon- naise dressing. Place on small blanched lettuce leaves with sprigs of water cress at each end for decora- ton.
 Devils Food Cake.-Two cups sugar creamed with half cup butter. Then add two beaten eggs; half cup sour milk; one teaspoonful soda; two tea spoonfuls vanilla; two and two-thirds cups flour; half cup of chocolate in half cup boiling water, stir, into paste, let cool, and pour into butter.
 Lazy Woman's Ple.-Line a deep pie tin with rich pie crust, core and pare apples as for baking, stand in the crust and season the pie with butter. sugar, and spice the same as an ordinary pie. No upper crust. Bake and serve hot or cold with or without whipped cream.
 Vegetable salad.--One quart of po- tatoes cut in dice, one good sized cu- cumber cut the same way, three table spoonfuls of green peas, two pimentos shredded. Mix with pint of cooked salad dressing. Serve in individual dishes on lettuce leaves frosted with whipped cream or sprinkled with paprika.

Wicker Furniture.

If wicker furniture has been var nished 1t will not take enamel until the varnish has been removed. To do this pour boiling water in which a little washing soda has been dissolved over and through the wicker for about ten minutes. After 1t has dried go over it with a flannel cloth dampened with naphtha. This should be done in the open air, and the piece of fur. niture should be left out of doors un- til all traces of the naphtha have disappeared, as it would be dangerous to put near fire.

 Creamed oysters on rounds of toast, potato croquettes, toasted mullins. olives, spice cake and coffee.
 The mullins were bought at bak- cry, split open, toasted and buttered. The spice cake was baked in one large loaf and served fresh, but cold.-Har- per's Bazaar.
