Hints for BAKING pax.

II hot water is used In making pie
crust IL will not bend outward, allow
ing the filing TO escape Put the soda
and cream OF tartar in the -four, stir
the hot water into Il, and add melted
butter or lard
II possible, the woman who does her
own baking should put the dough into
the pans at night to save time and
rush In the busy morning hours.
Baked custard will not curdle but
will be smooth and firm II the dist
containing it be set in a pan Of hot
water In the oven.
A mitten made Of white flannel Is q
great help TO avoid burning the hand
when baking. To make 1t, lay your
hand on a piece OF cloth and draw
around it with a pencil Cut out, leav-
ing half an inch for seam, and stitch
it up (Of course, the cloth must be
double.)

currants and the Simple LIE,

The latest to come forward in fa-
yor OF the Simple Life is the famous
German physician DR.. OFT, who at
tends many of the fashionables who
throng the famous Spa OF Marienbad
He denounces in strong terms exces-
siye eating and drinking in his hom-
lily on foods called Simplicity with
Moderation"
Commenting ON 1t, Sir Francis La
king, in attendance on King Edward
VII, adds his influence on the side
Of temperance in eating, and winds
UP with an exhortation to people to
eat more OF the wholesome and sus-
tanning currant." Currant-bread, cur
rant jam, currant cake, or just the
plain berries sweetened and taken aft
er dining are recommended as ex-
tremely beneficial.

JEWELS woRN IN NEW STYLE.
Parislan Fancy Taken Up by Smart
London Women Of Fashion.

One OF the latest Partisan fancies in
jewels to be taken up by smart Lon
don women Is corsage garniture Of a
flahnet drapery set with diamonds, the
whole forming a brilliantly scintillat-
ing drapery
The fisher net Is flet work Of ex
ceedingly fine gold threads, the meshes
formed Of diamonds. The drapery
covers the shoulders and droops sew
eral inches, and II is made entirely by
hand.
Mrs. Cavendish-Bentinck sister Of
Mrs. Ogden Mills. wore this sort of
diamond meshwork on the corsage Of
a royal blue robe, and Mrs. Edward
Ward. a recent bride, wore a similar
net OF diamonds over a clinging black
satin. Lady Camden was also seen in
pink robe having the diamond
meshed net. and In each case two large
diamond tassels and diamond sci cords
fastened the ieweled drapery at the
back
The inverted tiara Is another little
fad In jewels This is a straight band
front from which ieweled points de-
scend, disappearing in the couture.
Mrs. Waldorf Astor wore one Of
these inverted diadems the same eve
ming that the diamond studded corsage
draperies were seen.
The duchess Of Rutland also wore
a new pattern in diadems; in this in
stance It was a pointed crown OF wheat
ears meeting in the front and Queen
Alexandra wore a similar couture or
nament, but instead Of wheat ears a
diamond thistle rose from the center.

wives and daughters much. Tea and
toast, cake and preserves can be en-
joyed without fear OF hantering com

severe structures.
