Always-Ready Lemonade.

There is nothing more refresh
ing on a hot day than "a long
drink of cool lemonade, but how
ever anxious the hostess may be
to serve this beverage, it is some
times impossible TO do s. owing
totthe lack OF necessary ingredi
cnts. In fact, it is tor just this
reason that the sirup that may
be prepared by the following re
cipe is one of the greatest of
household conveniences. 1t is
delicious, but what is still more
important it enables one to pro
cure supply OF lemonade liber-
ally at moments notice, says
the May DELINEALoR
Extract the Juice from a dozen
large lemons; CRATE the rlnd OF
six OF the lemons, and add it to
the juice. Let the mixture stand
for twelve hours, or over night.
In the morning make a thick
sirup of granulated sugar and
water, using about six pounds OF
the sugar and jnst as little water
as possible, as the sirup; must be
both thick and smooth. When
it has cooled, strain the lemon
juice into it; bottle in glass, be-
ing certain that tie tops are Sc
cure and air tight. In making
lemonade with this sirup, place a
little crushed ice in the bottom
of "a tall glass; add one or two
teaspoonfuls of the sirup, accord
ing to taste, and fill with either
carbonated or plain water.
This sirup may also be used
successfully in making cakes,
pies, puddings, custards, etc, be-
ing a most economical method OF
using lemons, as it enables til"
cook to obtain absolutely the tull
value OF both sugar and fruit.
Surely this is a tact worthy OF
consideration by the economical
housewife.
