CLEANING THE FLOWER VASES.
Tea Leaves and Vinegar Should Be
Used to Remove Stains.

The careful housewife is now con.
fronted with stained flower vases at
every turn. The summer flowers have
this effect on crystal, china and silver.
If fresh water is put in the vases
twice day the stain is not apt to ap.
pear, but doing this takes time and
trouble.
II Is forgotten even If one intends to
do it, and the consequence is the vases
are filled at the bottom and in the
crevices with green brown stains that
are far from pretty
And, again, they are far from easy
to get out Possibly everyone does
not know that there is no method of
removing them so excellent as the use
of tea leaves and vinegar.
Place handful OF used tea leaves in
the bottom OF the vase and pour over
them little vinegar Then place the
hand over the top of the vase and
shake steadily until the marks have
disappeared.
II this does not take them all out
add little fresh vinegar, wind soft
cloth around a small sharp stick and
run II around the vase and In and out
of the crevices.
This will efectually remove even
the most obstinate stain caused by
water and flowers that have been left
for two or three days in one vase.

SOME WARM.WEATHER SALADS.
Appropriate for Luncheon or. Supper
During the Hot Days.

"One of the prettiest of the luncheon
or supper salads is made by cutting
the top from green pepper, removing
the seeds with knife or stick-they
burn the skin If touched with the fin.
gers-and filling the basket thus made
with chicken or lobser salad" says
Christine Terhune Herrick in the
W1man's Home Companion. Each
pepper may be placed ON lettuce leaf
and crowned with spoonful of mayon-
noise. Another salad is prepared by
following tomato and filling It with
dice of cucumber, or peeling cucum-
Der, cutting it in half lengthwise,
scooping out the inside, and replacing
this with dice of tomatoes. Serve
either tomato or cucumber on lettuce
leaf, and garnish with cucumber rib,
bons. These are made by shaving the
peel from the outside of cucumber
and then slicing this. Take a slice-it
should be rather thick-and with a
sharp knife cut this in a spiral, as you
would pare an apple. The shaving
must be very thin, as II is not long be-
fore the seedy center is reached, and
only the flesh of the cucumber will
serve for the ribbons. Cucumber boats
filled with shrimps are satisfactory
dish for cold supper Mayonnaise is
served with this, or good boiled
dressing. The cucumbers halved and
filled with other sliced or diced Gu.
cumber, served on lettuce. garnished
with cucumber ribbons and with strips
of the scarlet sweet pepper cut very
thin, make a good dish"
