The Clever Hostess.

A clever woman is the only one who
can be a perfect hostess. She must
make her guests feel perfectly at home
that is, interested unemparrassed and
happy.
She mnst make you feel that you, il
not the most distinguished guest, are al
least as welcome and important to her
as any.
She mlst make you feel that she is
glad to have you present in her home
and that she is interested in your own
personality
She must see everything and yet
possess the art of to seeming to see
nothing.
She must never look bored.
She must always be able to keep the
conversational ball rolling
She must never let anyone be slight
ed or overlooked.
She must know just when to ask the
amateur musician to display his or her
talents
She must be perfectly unselfish about
her own pleasures
She must not neglect her guests and
at the same time must not give them
too much Of her own society
She must remember that nothing is
so tiresome, so surely death to all en-
joymenl, as the feeling that one is be-
ing entertained.

SIMPLE RECIPES WORTH TRYING

Temperance Mint Julep-Bruise the
sprigs and leaves of two or three
sprays of fresh mint and place in a
glass half filed with shaved ice. Mace
rate thoroughly, add four tablespoonful
of grape juice and fill the glass with
settler or carbonated water.
Jelly Roll-Make a layer of sponge
cake, and while it is still hot cut off
the edges, spread it with jelly and roll
it together. Then roll it in stiff
paper and tie it. IF the cake is not
overbaked and is rolled while hot it
will not crack. The paper will keep it
in shape. Cover the top ends with
icing. Decorate it with traeings of icing,
eandied cherries and angelica.
Iced Tea-Make a quart of tea and
add half a cup of lemon juice, sweeten
to taste with powdered sugar. Into
tall glasses put half a glass of cracked
ice and a slice of lemon and add the

WHEN SERVING WATERMELON.

Many hostesses refuse to use water
melon on any except informal family
occasions. They say it is too sloppy and
hard to serve.
Certainly the old way of serving was
not dainty. The whole watermelon was
brought to the table on a huge waiter
and was cut with the carving knife
into hunks or segments.
Nowadays the rind does not make an
appearance The heart of the melon
is cut into regular shaped pieces about
FIVE inches square and two and half
inches thick. These are heaped in a
low cut glass or colonial glass dish,
have bits of ice scattered over the top
and sprigs of geranium leaves or any
bright green foliage tucked in the
edges.
A salad fork or an asparagus fork
is passed with it for serving.
This method of preparing watermelon
is not only attractive to the eve, but
makes the melon much more attractive
to eat.

WHEN WASHING HAIR BRUSHES

The good old summer time has the
drawback of heat, dust and SCOT. To
the majority of people it has no ad-
vantages which can offset this trilogy
of troubles.
Among the toilet articles that suffer
the most from these are the hair
brushes.
Ones long hair catches everything
impure that the atmosphere holds, and
as it cannot be washed like the face
and hands, it only way of being
daily freed from it's dust is by brush
ing.
Therefore the bristles of these
brushes should be well washed at least
three times a week.
Now there is a right and wrong
way to wash brushes. If you pay a
good price for one with good bristles,
you don t want it put out of commits
way you wash it.
Here is the proper method:
Place the brush in a bowl of water,
but do not let the water cover the
back of the brush. 1t must reach up
to it's edge.
To one quart of water put a table
spoonful of borax. This water should
not be hot, but lukewarm. as heat and
moisture together melt the glue in the
bristles which makes them stiff and
perfect.
A brush should not be left to soak
in the water longer than ten minutes.
This is quite essential if you wish the
bristles to keep from getting bent and
flabby.
While it is in the water rub it well
with another brush or with nail
brush, if you haven It anything larger.
Then rinse in warm water, afterward
in cold and dry in the sun. Place it,
bristles down, on a clean towel. Am
monia is sometimes used instead of
borax, and while it is just as cleansing,
it Injuries the handle wherever it
touches

To Keep Bread
and Cakes Fresh

In order to keep baked things from
becoming stale, it is necessary thai
they be cooled gradually. Things hot
from the oven need to be set on fold
ed cloth. Any solid surface condenses
the steam from them into water, max
| ing them heavy and sodden. Hence
the Importance of the bread basket
with a lining of doubled cloth. Hot
loaves set in it to cool have the moist,
ure taken up an dissipated as soon as
it forms, thus leaving the crust crisp
and appetizing and the crumb light
sponge.
Afterward comes the bread box or
jar. The box is the better-one of well
japanned tin, with tight-ftting cover
and good hinges. Line it inside with a
length of good linen crash, wide
enough to reach all round the bot
tom and wide enough to stretch over a
bexful of loaves. See that the cloths
are changed weekly and the box well
wiped out with a damp cloth and dried
Once month it should be scaIded,
using little dissolved soda in the wa
ter. Dry and air the box thoroughly
after the scalding, and set in the sun
or on a hot stove for a few minutes
Keep the top up while it heats, else The
last estate will be worse than the first.
Lay in the cooled loaves upside down.
Pound cake and all light cakes should
be kept in cake box very similar to
the bread box. It is more slightly and
picturesque if it is more round than
square, but it should have the same
sort of lining, whatever its shape. Cake
also requires to be cooled on porous
surface. Twice doubled damask is none
too thick for a big cake, and two or
three hours are needed to cool it prop
