HOUSEHOLD TALKS.

If housewife prefers a tea ball to a tea
pot and the tea ball doesn't work we'll or
affects the flavor of the tea, she will find
this method to her liking: Let her make
little cheesecloth bags. three inches square
and fill them half full of tea After one
las been used for several cups it can be
thrown away, thus saving the trouble of
cleaning out the leaves.
When one watches the man in the win
dow of the confectioner's shop dipping
chocolates and rolling bonbons 1t looks like
a very simple matter. but one has only to
try it TO find out how difficult it is The
man in the window uses little twisted wire
holders. which require skill in the handling
and dries the candies on a large wire mat
But the best way for the amateur Is to use
a knitting needle and a colander. lining
the latter with stiff oiled paper The
reedle should be passed through the centre
of the candy. which is then dipped into the
melted chocolate, which should have little
lump OF paraffne melted with it If one
wants to get the professional glossy finish.
When the chocolate has been dipped sutfi-
ciently the needle is passed through one of
the holes in the colander and pulled out
On the other side II this is done quickly
the hole made by the needle in the candy
will not be perceptible. When the col
ander is full the paper can be lifted out
and laid on a board or platter until the
chocolate coating is cool and hard
The newest thing in marking napkins is
10 put the monogram in the centre of the
square. This, OF course requires that the
napkin be folded so that the monogram
comes uppermost.

ument contains stone taken from the

ed after her return from captivity and
