AldrIch Memorial House.

which was used by the household
when they entertained Facing the
closet, on the opposite wall is an Oil
painted portrait of little Tom Bailey
Aldrich, dressed in a continental uni
form that he wore In 1916 when he
commanded the Portsmouth Contin-
entails, a boys company of 25, for
which his mother made ali of the uni
forms worn by the lads.
The main hallway is furnished aft
er the custom of old times. The
kitchen is situated in the rear Of
Grandfather Nutter's sitting-rOom.
and with its open fireplace cranes
pots, kettles. hand bellows and other
utensils in vogue a hundred years ago,
carries the visitors thoughts back to
that period. The old blue Ridgeway
CroCkery dinner set, which has been
in the Bailey-Aldrich family for a pc.
riod of $50 years, occupies a conspicu-
Gus place on the wooden shelves.
Miss Abigairs bedroom is directly
over the kitchen. In one corner is a
large high top canoDied bed. In an
other is a small work table with Miss
Abigail's work basket, also a silver
sewing bird screwed to the table. On
the opposite side of the upper hall is
Mrs. Aldrich's room, with a high post
ed bedstead and dimity draperies, and
all other fittings that belonged to the
old period.
Over the front hallway is a small
room which was occupied by little
Tom Bailey AIdrich, and here can be
seen the bed on which he slept which
is complete in all of its details, even
to the patchwork quilt. On the wall
at the head of the bed is a small
bookshelf containing books of that Pc
riod that were the property Of Mr..
AIdrich when he was a youth. The
same high backed chair stands be-
side the bed, and on its back is hung
the little continental coat that Mr..
Aldrich wore so proudly when he com
msnded his company over 90 years
ago
So complete has the idea been car
ried out of having the interior Of the
house present the same appearance,
room for room, as described by Mr..
AIdrich, that even the garret has not
been overlooked. It was a favOrite
resort for Mr. Aldrich and his boy as
sociates. Here can be found all Of
the CASTOR articles on which Mr.. Aid
rich dwelt at length in his interesting
story. At one end can be seen the old
scenery and the green curtain which
figured so prominently when he and
his associates gave show, for which
the admission was a pin, and Kitty
Collins was Obliged to give clothes

FINISH FOR SALAD
HOW t. A.Ak- l@ -IC NNAlSE OR
FRENCa ORES ING.
One Great Point Is to Rave Every
thing Cold-To Prevent lts go
ing Back" Mix 1t d
by Drop.

Care is necessary to make good
salad. Dressing must be thoroughly
mixed, icy cold and the ingredients OF
the salad itself should be daintily pre-
pared
In making either mayOnnaise or
French dressing have everything cold.
Chill the bowl with ice water and in
hot weather mix in a larger bowl Of
cracked ice, or, if that be not convent
ent, at least sit in the cellar while
making mayonnaise; otherwise it will
be apt to curdle.
Always keep the eggs in the icebox
for at least an hour before making
dressing and see that they are so
carefully separated that not particle
Of the white remains
Patience is the one secret Of sue
cessful mayOnnaise. If the drOp-by-
drop principle is not rigidly adhered
to until the dressing takes on sub
stance that makes going back improb-
able, dire Will be results.
Should the dressing curdle, begin
over again with a fresh egg, mixing
in the curdled part after the new
dressing is we'll stiffened.
In making a quantity of mayOnnaise
it is better to thin with pieces Of
| cracked ice rather than with lemon
or vinegar, as, otherwise it may be too
acid
Even though the dressing looks all
right and has been set away for sew
| eral hours in the refrigerator, be care
| full not to stir it before putting on the
salad; otherwise you may be Mortified
to have it go back when just ready to
be served. This is not an infrequent
! occurrence, but is usually caused by
/ too rapid mixing.
If too late to start over again with
the fresh egg, the only thing to do not
| to delay the dinner is to hastily mix
a good French dressing, cOnsOltng
yourself that it is more healthful aft
er a big dinner than the heavier may

J Rub a bit of garlic or onion on the
salad bowl in making any dressing and

CARE OF SOFT-WOOD FLOOR.
Method Advocated by Writer in su-
burDan Life.

sOft-woOd floor can be made just
as attractive and as easily Kept clean
as a hardwood moor, according TO Su-
burbau Life. | have used me IoIow-
ing method with success on my floors:
First. the floor Ads, DE thoroughly
cleaned, then plaLeI smooth ana the
cracks filled, An eXCeuent pfepalauO
for filing CRACKS is I-au- as follows:
Put some sawaust IN d4sD, and pour
enough boiling water over II 10 cover
it, and let it stand until it Is almost
pulpy, stirring occasionally. When
the sawdust has reached this stage,
put il over a ne and DJI. until Il Is
about tie same consistency as good
paste. Strain OF all moisture. and add
enough thin glue-water q soften lit
tie. Press this into the cracks be-
tween boards and let it harden. The
next step is TO 90 over the surface Of
the floor with a good, ready prepared
wOOd-fller, which may be bought OF
any dealer in varnishes. When the
filler has dried, apply several coats
of floor varnish. To keep such floors
clean, all that is needed is a daily
brushing over with a broom, over
which there has been slipped a cheese
cloth bag, and an occasional wiping
over with Iinseed oil, applied sparing-
ly, and rubbed in with the grain OF
the wood.

CHOPS in Paper.

Select nice loin mutton chops, as
many as needed. Trim off outside
skin. grind or roll cracker crumbs
quite fine, and season them with salt
and pepper. Take one sheet of com
mon writing paper for every chop
large enough to wrap chop in; dip
chop in cracker crumbs on both sides
and then fold it carefully in the writ
ing paper so the crumbs will remain
on the chop and not fall out of the pa
per.
When chops are prepared in this
manner lay them in a dripping pan and
bake light brown on both sides
about 20 minutes in moderate oven.
Remove the papers from the chops
and then serve on warm platter. The
paper draws out the grease and strong
taste from the mutton.

those who hold the astral key of inter

This is the day when the proposition
of old lamps for new is not such an
unreasonable one. The passion for
things antique is growing all the time

value. With this passion, too, there
occurs a wonderful ingenuity IN find
