Dark Blue Serne

Year in and year out, the school
coat Of dark blue serge holds it's own
against all rivals. The reason for this
is not far to seek. The color is sub

sheds the dust. Blue will accord with
almost any other shade; it becomes q
youthful face, and it lends itself read

The Baldwin went down at mid
night in the midst of one of the fierc-
est gales that has swept the lake this
year. The wind was a terrific south
easter, blowing diagonally across the
lake at 90-mile clip. The Baldwin
was stone laden and towed a scow
with similar cargo, and the heaving
and pounding which the boat received
caused several seams in the stern por-
ton of the hold to open.
Before the pumps could be manned,
the water, pouring into the hold in
great quantities, flooded that section
and put the pumps out of commission.
Instantly the sailors-with the ex-
ception of four of us who were below
began to Chamber into the lifeboats

When washing tan. brown or linen

by pouring boiling water over hay.
Canton flannel is best for removing
accommodations of dust and it takes
every particle. but cheese cloth is best
for furniture with piano finish. Use
the flannel cloths wrapped around a
broom for busting walls, but some
times really better than this is the
white cotton mop used for scrubbing
purposes. They can be washed and
dried and, being so light, are easy
for a woman to handle.
There are many splendid utensils for
kitchen use, but nothing takes the
place of the old-fashioned iron pot for
boiling meats, especially small hams or
large roasts. But the best iron pots
wear thin on the bottom and this is
frequently the cause of foods being
scorched. 1t is advisable to remedy
this defect by placing a small tin lid
in the bottom of the pot, then there
is no danger whatever of the food
burning, since it does not come in con-
tact with the hot iron.

thicker than desired, add more milk;
If too thin, simmer longer. This soup
is good the second day.
DELICIOUS BREAKFAST CAKES:
-Slft one pint and half of corn meal
INTO bowl; add half pint whole
wheat flour, one teaspoonful of salt,
the usual quantity of buttermilk and
soda, the latter to be regulated by the
acidity or the buttermilk. Try one
cake to see if soda is right. If too
little, more can easily be added until
the desired amount is reached.
VIRGINIA APPLE PIE:-Sift one
pint of flour with a pinch of salt, into
tray. Rub into the flour one heaping
tablespoonful of nice lard until it feels
like coarse meal. Mix in one slightly
rounded teaspoonful of baking powder.
Use sufficient whole or skinned milk
to make dough stiff enough for bis
cults. Handle as little as possible.
Divide in half and roll thin. Line a
large pie plate with one pice. Then
pare and slice very thin enough good
cooking apples to cover the pastry to
the depth of one inch. Pour over the
apples two-thirds of a cupful of granu-
lated sugar and the grated rind and
juice of one small lemon. Drop bits
of butter over the whole. Cover with
the other piece of pastry, pinch down
the edges, cutting off the uneven parts,
and stick several times with a big
fork. Bake in a moderate oven until
brown. Serve cold.
SCALLOPED TOMATOES: - Pour
boiling water over half a gallon of
nice, ripe tomatoes, to make the skins
slip off. Remove the skins, and slice
one layer into the bottom of baking
dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and
a tablespoonful of graduated sugar.
Then add layer of stale bread crumbs
half an inch thick, with some small
bits of butter dropped about over it.
Repeat the process until the dish is
very full. They will sink down in
cooking. Bake until brown and serve
hot.
BAKED SUMMER CABBAGE:-Cut
into quarters and boil tender in salt
and water two medium sized heads of
cabbage, drain and chop. Arrange an
inch layer in the bottom of a baking
dish. Sprinkle with black pepper, then
crumb in layer of stale bread. Drop
small bits OF butter over the bread

dish is nearly full bread coming on
