Laundry Notes.

To make any clothing extra stin
when laundering, it is best TO dry the
garments first. then run through
starch and dry the second time. Flour
starch should not be used for dainty
waists, since it gives a yellow tinge
to them. A mixture OF lump and
gloss starch will be best and such ar
ticles should be wrapped in damp
towels instead Of being sprinkled be-
fore ironing. First iron the sleeves
then the front, lastly the back and
collar and place the waist to dry on a
hanger made from a rolled newspaper
tied in the middle with a string This
keeps the waist from creasing by be-
ing hung with other clothes on the
rack. Small starched articles Ike
cuffs and collars should be dried be
fore the kitchen fire or they absorb
any dampness in the room and be

BRAIsED MEAT THE BEST.
Many Advantages in French Method
of Cooking.

Braising is a combination OF roast
ing and stewing small joints of meat
in a shallow stewpan, called
'braisoire" or braiser, which has a
close-fitting lid with a groOved edge
round il, on which hot Goals (char-
coaD are placed, whereby the meat
can be cooked with a fire above it as
we'll as under i. This process of
cooking, it is said, greatly decreases
loss by evaporation. 1t is favorite
method with the French, and is sup
posed to bring out an unusually fine
flavor and aroma
The pan in which a braise is TO be
made should always be lined with
slices Of bacon, carrot, onions and
herbs, upon which the meat is placed.
II is usually moistened with stock
or stock and wine. The more delicate
meats, such as sweetbreads, fillets,
fowls and turkeys are sometimes COW
cred with buttered paper; this is
done 10 prevent the heat from the top
of the pan scorching or impaTting too
much OF a roast favor to the meats
which are 10 be braised.
Occasional basting during the
process of this method Of cooking is
essential When done, the meat is
taken up, the fat removed from the
vegetables and gravy, which latter is
then reduced, strained ami blended

sauce

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A teaspOonful of pulverized alum
mixed with the common stove polish
will give a wonderful polish.
Scalding the milk for custard pie
adds greatly to its flavor An addi
ton of teaspoonful of brown sugar
or molasses is also helpful.
To keep your favorite cook book
open at the right page use a band OF
elastic an inch wide When not in
use you may strap il around the

it to fit over the toe by sewing two

Stains made by medicine and lini-
