The Cheerful Crouch on LandIadie

Next to the mother-in-law joke, and
a baseball day, l abhor that old bit of
facetiousness about landladies." Thus
the Cheerful Crouch with brow of
fury and a sweet smile
"Why do we abuse the long-suffer-
ing proprietor of the third-foor-back?
Why do we lampoon on all occasions
her who ought not to be expected to
furnish porter-house steak for six dol
lars a week? Can we not find some
body to raise the voice in behalf of
Mrs. Hashem? She isn't half so black
as she is painted, and even if she
were, there is every excuse. How
would any of us like to have every
meal disturbed with fear of what Mr..
Cross-Patch thinks of the meat? Or
whether Miss Lanky likes the des-
sert? Maybe there aren't enough bis
cults to go round, or the potatoes are
scorched? In your own private home
you can tell the good man or the chill
dren to eat light bread or go without
potatoes if they object to a slight
taste of the Empyreuma. But what
can Mrs. Hashem do? If her board
ers leave the rooms are empty and
the rent goes on and she is unable
to meet her rent, or Mr.. Hornswoggle
skips his board bill, Oh, there are a
million annoyances attached to cook
ing for other folks besides your own
family. And if the landlady is ner-
vous, anxious, hysterical and stingy
to boot, be patient. If she is gossipy
remember that you are her only ex-
citemen and make her daily round.
Above all, remember that if you don't
like her you can keep house-which
every woman ought to do, anyhow"

Wooden Utensils.

er nonfibrous materials. But in the
majority of homes the old-fashioned
kind are still on duty, and, indeed,
they are preferred by many house,
wives who are afraid of the danger
from breaking glass or china
But it must be remembered that the
chief drawback to the wood is the
difficulty in keeping it absolutely
clean. They are most unsanitary if
put away without thorough investi-
cation of every nook and crack in the
wood-those comfortable shelters for
germs and decomposing food. Before
putting the wooden utensil away,
scrape it well and wash it in cold
water. This latter is important, as
the hot water opens the poors of tic
wood thus rendering it more sus.
ceptible to dirt. Scrape and rub with
the grain of the wood, and never put
away without drying well-preferably
on the back of the stove.
A little salsoda in the water is a
sanitary precaution, and it is we'll to
remember that wooden bowls should
never be placed on the shelf upside
down.

Asparagus is extra dainty if served
with Hollandaise sauce to which is
added the juice of blood-orange and
a bit of finely grated orange peel.
For the Hollandaise, put two table
spoons of good vinegar into pan with
salt and pepper. Boil down to a tea
spoonful. Add to this two tablespoons
cold water and the yolks Of two raw
eggs. Stir till thick, then add an
ounce of butter. stirring it off the fire
till it melts. Let it reheat, and add
gradually more butter. perhaps three
ounces in all. Add spoonful of wa
ter to keep it from turning. (This
is an elaborate French recipe)

Jelly Tips.

Put up small amount of fruit at a
time. The result is more satisfactory,
and in this way the york is done with
less fuss and feathers than when a
whole day is consumed.
Care in selecting the fruit is i'm.
portant; be sure to take it under, rath-
er than over, ripe. Imperfect. cheap
fruit is never an economy.
The most satisfactory way, If one is
afraid Of experiments, lies in the old
fashioned way Of kettle canning"
which means merely stewing the fruit
with an equal amount of sugar and
sealing in hot cans or jars or glasses.

Nuts have an extraordinary food
value; they are the cheapest form Of
energy, and contain protein in abun-
dance. For this reason they are a
meat substitute, not an accessory.
They should not be eaten as wind
up to hearty meal, except in very
small quantities.
There are many combinations of
nuts which are both attractive and
wholesome-can be made into soups,
sandwiches and salads, and are ex-
cellent taken with all kinds of fruit.
The oil in the nut combines readily

Salt should be eaten freely with

A lesson in social economy can be
learned from the goose. The letter
V which they form in flight has its
origin in an instinct of mutual aid.
Every wing stroke of the rear birds
