CLAM SOUP.

One pint of CLAIMS, one teacupful of
cream, one small onion, piece of but
ter half the size of an egg and one
small bay leaf Put the soft part of
the clans in a dish by themselves.
Cut off the dark, tough part of the
necks and put in a pan on the stove
to boil with one pint of water, the
onion chopped fine, and the bay leaf.
Then take the other tough parts of the
CLAIMS and, after chopping fine, put
with the soft parts. When the mix
ture on the fire has boiled for an hour,
take it of and strain through the
colander into a saucepan. If there is
less than pint of this liquor, fill up
to that amount with hot water and
put over the fire. When it is boiling
hot, put in the uncooked clans and
then the butter. Salt to taste, add a
little black pepper and a little red
pepper and let it scald a minute or
two. Add the cream and serve inn
mediately. Great care should be taken
not to cook the clans too much. Over
cooking toughens them.

FINANc1ERINe IN THE KITCHEN.

Anna Steese Richardson, in the
March number of Woman's Home
Companion, gives some helps that are
of inestimable value to the housewife,
and especially to the girl who earns
her own living.
One woman writes her:
+TIow can I earn money without
leaving home? Can woman whose
one talent is housekeeping turn it to
practical ACCOUNT
Her reply in part is:
1.-THE woman who can cook well, who
knows how to prepare dainty as well
as wholesome food, who has something
worth offering in the culinary line, is
really better off to-day than the home
girl who is an Indifferent cook. but
free to turn to office or store work
when the family income drives her to
wage earning.
In every city the country over you
will find women who seldom leave their
kitchens, yet make incomes that put a
stenographer or bookkeeper to shame.
''They bake cakes, bread and pies for
private customers, or exchanges for
women's work. or grocers. They special
ize on salads or jellies or homemade
candies. They provide college spreads
in university towns. They cater to
hostesses who cannot afford the pro-
fessiona1 caterer from the nearest city,
and whose servants are not to be
trusted with dainties for luncheons,
card parties, receptions, etc.

ORANGE MARMALADEs.

G. H. T. W.: Below are two recipes
for marmalade, one calling for the bit
ter Seville, the other for the ordinary
sweet orange. TIE genuine bitter mar
malade is prepared only from the Se-
vile orange, which is not easy to obtain
in this country. The ordinary orange,
however, if a few lemons are added,
makes fairly good substitute.
The first rule is for a transparent
variety, which is genuine Scotch re-
cipe given by housekeeper, a native
of Scotland, where they know just how
to prepare delicious marmalades. Select
Seville oranges of good quality. Squeeze
out the juice, setting it aside, and put
the rinds In a jelly pan with a plentiful
supply of water. Boil them until soft,
adding more water as it boils down, if
necessary. When thoroughly cooked,
turn the mixture into bag, pressing
and squeezing the mass as hard as pos
sible to secure all the juice. Mix this
juice with the juice that was taken
from the fruit before boiling; then
measure, and to every pint of it add
one and a half pounds of lump sugar.
Boil it for half an hour, then test by
putting tablespoonful on saucer to be-
come cool. If when cool the jelly curls
when twisted or pushed by the finger it
is ready. Remove the syrup from the
stove and fill marmalade jars with it,
sealing as usual with brandy papers,
etc.
A so-called Dundee marmalade'
made with the ordinary orange, the re-
cipe for which an excellent authority
gives, calls for the use of two lemons to
every dozen of large oranges, thus Of
fering a fair substitute when Seville
oranges are difficult to obtain. Slice the
oranges very thin, removing the seeds
and adding if possible bitter orange
to every dozen. Add the lemons, or
merely their juice, and enough cold
water to make seven pints. Let the
fruit and water stand overnight in a
covered earthen bowl. The next morn
ing put over the fire in preserving
kettle and let the fruit cook until the
strips of rind are tender. Then add
seven pounds of loaf or graduated
sugar. Let it continue to boil gently,
stirring frequently, until the rind is
transparent and spoonful of the mar
malade, when cooled, has a jellylike
consistency Upon its reaching this
point take the preserving kettle off the
fire. Let the marmalade become partly
cooled in the kettle and then transfer 1t
to jars or jelly glasses. To seal proper
", fit round of paper dipped in brandy
in the top of each jar. Then put on the
covers, or, if the jars have no covers,
seal the top with paper brushed with
the white of an egg, allowing no corners
or spaces where air can reach.

SEWING LACE.

Here's a tip that will save many a
rim in your summer clothes. When
sewing the two raw edges of fine lace
together. like the tiny lace ruffle on
lingerie waists or dresses, do not fell
it in the old-fashioned way. Place the
two right sides together and bind the
edge with the finest thread, making a
buttonhole stitch along the edge. Put
a stitch in each mesh and you VIII
have a neat lace seam, which, when
pressed, can scarcely be observed and
will not fray.

MOCK TURTLE SOUP.

This recipe, though it does not use
fresh vegetables exclusively, is too
good to be omitted from the list: It
requires one quart of black beans, one
shank of beef, and two large onions.
Boil the beans and the beef separately
all day, adding water when necessary.
Rub the beans when done through a
colander while they are hot. Boil with
the beef the onions, one tablespoonful
of whole cloves and one of allspice.
Pour the mixture through a colander
and mix at night, while hot, with the
strained beans. Cook only long enough
to warm the next day. Serve with
slices of lemon and hard-boiled egg.
