Cut up large plateful of any veg
etables one happens to have. For ex-
ample, carrots, potatoes, beans, parsnips,
celery. peas parsley, turnips, caulifower,
spinach or cabbage, may be used, but al
ways have either potatoes or beans for a
thickening. and onions are quite essen
tial. Put into a saucepan half a cup
full of clarified suet or fat from the
top Of the stock kettle. When 1t is very
hot put in the cut up onions. Stir we'll
to prevent burning. When they are q
rich brown color stir in a large table
spoonful Of -four till it is the same hue.
Now stir in pint of hot water and add
pepper and salt to taste. Do not put in
the seasoning before the water, else the
onions will be apt to burn. Next add the
other vegetables. Let the mixture simmer
for two hours, adding more hot water
when necessary Press all through a
colander. Put back on the stove and
let the soup simmer till the moment of
serving. 1t is nice to serve croutons with
this soup.

Washing Dried Fruit

An excellent way of washing either cur
rants or ralsins is to put them In a glass
jar and cover with cold water. Screw on
the top and shake vigorously. Change the
water sufficient number of times to have
it left quite clear after the last wash
ing. Spread the fruit on cloth and
roll up until quite dry. Always dredge
with flour before adding to a cake.

In Lieu Of Sleeves

Many evening gowns are made without
sleeves. few bands of tulle or net ex-
tending just below the shoulder, breaking
the length of the arm. With these, gloves

worn. Splendid opportunity is thus af-
forded for displaying bracelets above the
elbows.

Care OF a Hat

Don't take hold Of a hat by the brim
If you don't want to spoil its looks.
This seasons hats are very elaborate
and costly affairs, and it Is best to take
hold of them by their bandeaux If their
shape is to be preserved.
It is not good plan to rest one of the
intricate head coverings upon a fiat sur
face; instead, invest in hat stand.
