TO FOLLOW DINNER
SOME EXCELLENT IDEAS FOR
SUMNER DESSERT.
Apricot Charlotte One of the Best
Is Splendid Favored With Good
Blend of Tea-Lemon Custard
Popular.

To vary the summer dessert course
some time, try apricot charlotte. This
Is worthwhile sweet that Is not diff.
hcult to do
For 1t you must dissolve a third Of a
package Of gelatin In cold water and
add, after stirring, a cup of boiling
water, also three-fourths of a cup of
sugar, juice of one lemon and a cup of
apricot pulp from which all traces of
stones and skin have been removed.
When it is cooled stir in a cup Of
stiff1y whipped cream and put in the
fcebox until cold, after which 1t is
ready to serve at any time.
Some day, for a change, flavor the
gelatin with a good blend of tea. Even
those who do not ordinarily care for
the cup that cheers are likely to fall
In love with it in this form.
Soak two-thirds of two-ounce
package Of gelatin in enough cold
water to dissolve. Pour over this one
pint OF hot tea, made strong, add a
scant cupful of sugar and the juice
of two lemons. Strain and mold.
After cooling put on the ice to thor
oughly chill and serve with whipped
cream.
Cool jellies, rennets and frozen COM
pounds, that slip down easily and re-
fresh as they go, seem the ideal des-
serts for hot weather, but there are
always cool days when an oven dinner
Is substituted for the usual cold one,
and for one of these occasions blue
berry pudding is apt to figure, since
only in summer are the piquant ber-
ries available
A good way to make it is with
sauce, Favored with a different fruit,
for instance, cherries.
Separate three eggs and beat. Add
the yolks to a cup of sugar creamed
with tablespoonful of butter. Add
alternately -four and milk. The flour
should measure two cups and must
have three teaspoons of baking pow
der stfted in it. About a cup of milk
will be required Flavor with a little
nutmeg and add more flour if neces-
sary to make soft batter At the last
fold In the whites beaten stiff and one
quart OF blueberries dredged with
-four. Bake half an hour. For the
sauce cream fourth cup of butter
with cup of sugar and add a cup of
stoned red cherries mixed through.
For lemon custard sweeten two cups
Of milk with two ounces of sugar and
the thin grated peel of half a lemon,
add two inches of stick cinnamon and
boil up. Beat well in a separate bowl
four eggs, then pour in upon them the
milk, little by little, not having it too
hot. Strain through a fine sieve into
a plain mold which afterward stand in
a covered pan containing just a little
water. Put on the fire and let it SIM
mer for 20 minutes or until 1t has set
Take out Immediately, cool and chill
near the ice
Serve with cream and pass candied
lemon peel with it, or instead of the
cream you may use this very simple
sauce: Half pint of water sweet
ened with two ounces of sugar and
boiled down one-half Use very cold.

Rainy Day Hints.

When there is danger of a wet car
pet from the overflow of dripping UNI
orellas on rainy days put a large
sponge in the bottom of the umbrella
stand to absorb moisture.
If you have stand of china which ia
broken easily put in the bottom of it
rubber mat or rubber tubing coiled
into fat the desired size.
Never put an umbrella carelessly
into stand or you may thrust it
through the silk Of one already there.
Many good umbrella is ruined in
this way.
If you have borrowed an umbrella
never put it in public stand, espe-
cially If 1t is not marked. You may
be mortified to have it carried off and
not be able to return it, through no
fault Of your own

CONVENIENT KNITTING BAG
VIII Prevent Many Mishaps and Will
Keep Ball Clean and in
Good Condition.

Few things are more aggravating
in a small way than to drop a ball
Of knitting or crochet wool or thread,
more especially as such a mishap
only too often ends in a hopeless
tangle, while the ball is being hunted
for on the floor. A useful knitting
bag Of the kind shown in our sketch
will altogether prevent any accident
Of this description, and will, more
over, keep the ball clean and in good
condition.
This bag is made in silk or linen.

with thin cardboard and bound at the

galOw order, with prominent roof,
broad on the ground and not overly
high.
A distinctive feature of this design
is the use of cobblestones in the large
chimney and fireplace. These could
also be employed very effectively for
the foundation of the building.
A cobblestone wall can be made
very attractive If the man laying it
properly understands the work. In
any kind of stonework the mason
must use his head as well as his
hands The more variety of color,
shape and size can be obtained the
more attractive appearance will a
cobblestone wall present. The stone
should be rather large and laid at

random, not in rows, and should ut
together closely so that few of the
mortar joints are more than one-half
inch thick. The stones should stand
out prominently and should not be
mastered to a smooth surface with
mortar. neither should any broken
edges be visible. A good workman,
nv the proper use Of cobblestone. as
shown In this design, can secure a
very ornamental effect and one exact
" in keeping with the general atmos-
phere Of the rustic site on which the
house is built.
For the walls of this house either
cIapboards or shingles may be used.
Shingles are always appropriate for
the walls of house of simple design,
especially in connection with cobble-

stone work There are various pleas
ing ways in which shingles may be
laid to suit those who consider the
ordinary method of laying the shingles
in uniform rows, five inches to the
weather, too monotonous. A pleasing
variation is to place the shingles in
alternate rows of two and eight inches
to the weather. This requires no
more material or labor and gives a
very attractive appearance. The
shingles on the roof, however, should
always be laid in the regular way.
A glance at the floor plans will
show very convenient and comfort
able arrangement of space in this
house There is a large central hall.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1910-09-16

with a living room occupying the en-
tire space at the left, while the dining
room with the kitchen back of it is
at the right. On the second floor
there are three bedrooms and a bath
room, also four clothes closets.
1t is a design and arrangement
that would be hard to improve upon
for anyone desiring comfortable res
idence of artistic appearance. The
cost is estimated at $4,000, including
a good grade of plumbing and lighting
and frst-class basement heating plant.

In its turn, is edged with line of
stitching. The handle consists of q
loop Of broad ribbon, tied in bow
at the top and made sufficiently long
to allow the bag to be slung comfort
ably over the left arm while at work.
On one side there is a hole through
which the thread may be drawn with
out disturbing the ball, and with no
risk of pulling it out of its place.
The sides are of silk or linen to match
the front and gathered into a binding
Of ribbon, while on the front of the
bag the word Knitting" is lightly
embroidered in silk, chosen In some
contrasting shade Of color.

owner not only knew his business but
was interested in his birds. He gave
me all the information l wanted, and
was so much encouraged that went
back and invested in twenty pairs Of
homers and an equal number OF runts.
Following the advice had received
bought only mated birds, and as a
consequence began to make money
from the start At the end of that year
my profits were sufficient to lead my
husband to advise me to sell all the
chickens excepting just enough to
keep the family supplied in eggs and
devote my money and time to pigeons.
According to my experience it takes
four times as much time and money to
raise chickens as to raise squads. In
cubators and brooders are not needed
for one thing. Pigeons hatch their own
eggs. They are careful to keep the
young squads covered for the first few
days or until the young ones grow
feathers. They also attend to feeding
their young, which relieves you Of mix
ing and sometimes even cooking food
as you have to do for young chickens
All you have to do is to give the old
birds the proper food.
When the squad is from twenty to
twenty-five days old it is ready for the
market, and if properly fattened should
weigh something under one pound
Squads are sold wholesale by the
dozen, and the standard weight is eight
pounds to the dozen, but where there
is cross of runts and homers the
weight is almost four pounds heavier
| often have squads that weigh
pound each.
Many persons prefer the homer
crossed with dragons, because OF Inc
larger number of squads, but nave

The pigeon house must be kept

WYATT AIKEN LED ALL The REST

The Anderson Is. c. Daily Mail believes
that most Of the insurgents In congress
are insincere, and in>suppOrt OF this view
takes the liberty Of quoting from private
letter Of Wyatt Aiken, member OF the house
from the Third South Carolina district. Ii
this he says that ''the Democratic position
is better than ever, because we helped the

woods and refused to get rid OF Cannon

the Nothern press claim that they did won.

down at the crucial moment, and never
would have turned q wheel II the Demo-

That is an interesting story, though we
prieye to know that Mr.. Aiken should use
such language In his explanation OF the
alleged victory Of the Democrats In the
killing OF Mr. Cannon, our assistant telling
us that the phrase calling the speakers
bluff being one Of the forms OF expression
used by players In the gambling game OF
poker. How it happened that Wyatt
Aiken, a Presbyterian, should have dropped
into the vernacula Of the tables We can not
explain, but In this case, as In 80 many
others, "the least said the soonest mend
ed" and 1t Is none Of our business, any
how.
The fact that Aiken had to answer to
the rcll call first on the Burleson resolution
to declare the speakership vacant and that
he answered right is not surpnsing-that
is what his father, splendid soldier OF the
Army Of Northern Virginia and member
of congress himself, would have done, and
the rest Of the Democrats followed Aiken.
