AS velvet will be much used this win
ter it might be we'll to remark that any
pinning or basting on it should be
most carefully attended to. otherwise
marks will be left that are difficult to
remove. When pins are necessary only
the round glass headed ones should be
used not the common brass pin with
it's sharp trimmed head.
Basting threads should never be
drawn tight and when it is desired to
remove them each stitch should be
clipped and the thread withdrawn. To
pull basting threads from velvet in the
ordinary way means a much married
surface.
Leather is a feature of the new mil
linery this season. 70" patent leather,
chamoiS and suede are all used.

Fresh green peas and mushrooms
stirred together and served with cream
dressing in pate cases make delicious
summer dish.
If fresh fish is to be kept over night, it
should be sailed and laid on an earthen

gently in just enough water to cover
them.

Kitchen Hints.

New iron pots should always be
boiled first with wood ashes and cold
water; then thoroughly washed, and
they are ready for use. Skillets, grid
dies, iron gem pans, and waffle irons
should be well creased and allowed to
burn off once or twice before using.
Sheet-iron pans for cake and bread
are preferable to tin.
Earthen and StOneWare Jars or
crooks should be filled with cold wa
ter and put over slow fire and allow
ed to come to boil once or twice be-
fore using to cook in.
In washing greasy skillets, the addl-
ticn of a little soda to the first water
will neutraliZe the grease and make
ii much easier to clean. They are best
cleaned when hot.
Always keep the inside of your cof-
fee pot bright and clean to insure
good coffee. Boil it out occasionally
with soda and scour thoroughly.
Never set aside bottle, dirty.
Wash clean and turn with the neck
down that it may dry, and no dust in
it when you want it.

The Dutch and Eaton collars are
promised a renewed popularity through
the winter season.
The use of panne is Il millinery fea-
ture, especially for the purpose of fash

If necessary gloves should be sent to
the cleaners and then, cutting off the
hand part. the larger pieces could be
neatly sewed together and used for

A smart trimming for such a model
would be strips of narrow dark fur that
would hold down the brim drapery,

few tails at the left side front. This
would be an original piece of headwear
