Economic on Table Linen.

The wise housekeeper of to-day
uses dOilies instead of tablecloths,
says the Delineator. Instead of US
ing a large tablecloth three times n
day it is better to have a square for
breakfast and luncheon put on dag,
onally, or else a set Of plain doilies,
for either Of these insure an attractive
table and also save laundering at
least two large cloths a week. A
few doilieS or square can be washed
out and ironed with very little trouble
whenever they need it.
With this partly-covered table
there should certainly be a growing
plant or fern for the center, no mat
ter how simple it may be. After
these things the china really does not
matter so much, though for break.
fast nothing is so charming as a set
Of blue and white, which may be
picked up almost anywhere for a
small sum. Graceful shapes can be
easily found.

Hospitaf Boiled Eoo

An excellent way to boil an egg so
as to have it soft and fluffy, suitable
for convalescents, is to cook it eight
minutes. The water in the kettle
must be boiling. Turn out the gas on
range and carefully place egg-which
previously has been dipped in warm
water to remove chill, as sudden
change in temperature would crack it
in the boiling water, and cover,
leaving upon the unlighted burner to
get the heat. At the end of eight
minutes take egg from shell, salt and
butter to taste, and you will have
soft, palatable, easily digested egg.

Irish Stew.

Irish stew is a capital dish, and
when properly made is as appetizing
as it is nutritious. But its appearance
offends the superfine taste of a
writer ia one of the minor society pa
pers, who condemns it in quite pictur-
esque language. He writes: Our
aesthetic tastes are too little appealed
to by what is set before us at luncheon
and dinner. How apparent this be-
comes to all of us who have ever sat
and boggled at the monstrous ugli-
ness of that mound of bones in a
grave of moist vegetation, known by
the barbaric name of the Irish
stew!'"
