Blend together half a cupful each of honey and sugar with two tablespoonfuls of water Heat over the fire until it forms a thread Remove, and stir in the stifAy-whipped white of an egg. Beat constantly until the mixture cools, when it will be soft and thick like cream. Spread between layers of the cake and frost the top.
 Honey Cakes
 In making cakes honey takes the. place of a part of the sugar. To cup ful of flour, use two tab1espoonfuls of sugar and three of honey, the cakes otherwise being made after the usual recipes. Spice cake has a delicious flavor and "stickiness," the same as when using nolasses. In sponge cake use twothirds of a cupful of honey. one cupful of flour and three eggs. Beat the yolks and honey together, add the flour and four tablespoonfu1s of cold water. Mix well, then fold in lightly the stif1y-whipped whites of the eggs. Add lemon or vanilla havoring. Bake in a quick oven.
 Luncheon Sandwiches
 Luncheon sandwiches are very ap- petizing made with one side of the bread spread with thick honey that will not run readily or ooze out on the edges. On the other piece of bread spread butter beaten to a cream. Chil- dren are especially fond of these sand wiches in their school lunches. They are also well suited to serve with after noon tea or coffee. For the latter. cut tie sandwiches in fancy shapes with tin cutters.

After removing it, the meat for the night dinner can be placed over or the stew for luncheon made ready in another compartment. It is unexcelled for cooking fruit for jams and jellies before the sugar is added, and also for cooking tomatoes for catsup and chili sauce.

must be constantly watched to prevent burning.
 There is no reason why the disagree able odors of boiling cabbage and cauli- flower should fill the house. Have the water boiling rapidly, and plenty of it, in an uncovered kettle. Cut the cab bage and caulflower in pieces, put in little at time to prevent the water from cooling, and with fork push 1t under the water every few minutes. In this way cabbage should cook Tn twenty five minutes.
 Before it is ready for the oven, bread should rise to twice its original size. Therefore, do not put i'll more than enough to half fill the pans, or the loaves may be an ugly shape and the rising dough may overflow into the oven.
 When frying in deep fat, never put too much food in your frying basket at once. or the heat of the fat will be reduced, and the outer surface of the food, instead of being crisp and dry, will absorb the fat, lose flavor or juice and become greasy and indigestible.
 When boiling beets, peas, squash, corn or turnips little sugar in the water will improve them.
 A skilful cook attributes her famed success in making delicious mayonnaise to the fact that she always adds few drops of onion juice.

Also put to heat In the double boiler pint of milk. Shave one small onion into saucepan containing a heaping tablespoonful of b--+-or, c-l cook 1t carefully but do not allow 1t to burn. Skim the asparagus out of the stock and add to the contents of the saucepan. Stir until the vegetables are well mixed, and add to them a table spoonful of four When this Is cooked and snoothed into the other ingredients, put the mixture into the stock and let it boil for twenty minutes. If you have timed yourself rightly the, milk will now be heated in the double boiler. Rub the stock and its favoring vege- tables through a sieve into the milk, and season to taste. Al, the last moment be- fore serving, the asparagus tops may be added.
 Are you signing because for want oi asparagus you may not try this soup al once? If so, I do not blame you, but on the other hand could not refrain from telling you about it, for without 1t, to my mind no chapter on soups with stock would be complete.
