DaInties for June Weddings.

Nowadays the various pre-nuptial
entertainments are very important
feature of the last weeks before the
wedding.
A delicious sauce for a vanilla ice
cream may be made as follows: Chop
the ginger from a pint jar of Canton
ginger in small pieces, add the Juice
Of an orange and a tablespoonful Of
lemon juice, together with the sirup
from the ginger jar.
A nice luncheon dish for a small
party is creamed mushrooms, or
sweetbreads, or chicken, served in
croustades. These may be easily made
by cutting off the tops of rolls, re-
moving the centers, then filling with
the creamed mixture. Croustades are
made of stale bread, which are very
dainty. Cut slices two and half
inches thick, remove the crust, then
leaving halfinch margin all around,
cut down to half an inch from the bot
tom, and scrape out the crumbs in the
center. Brush with melted butter and
brown in the oven. Just before flll.
ing them dip the rims In the beaten
white of an egg, then in chopped pars
ley. This gives them pretty fringe
of green. Sandwiches are always in
favor, A sweet one is prepared with
grated maple sugar, chopped nuts and
little cream. A crisp, appetizine
sandwich is made by adding slice OF
two of cucumber to the bread and but
ter sandwich. Chopped olives make
another good filling.

There are none of us who enjoy do
ing hard things very often; but in all
housekeeping there is much that Is
hard and some things unpleasant.
A good rule to follow In doing our
work Is to do the hard tasks first, as
we used to do in childhood, with the
good things, save the choice bit for
the last as we would say: "The last
the best of all the game"
If one makes it practise to do the
hard task first we do away with the
long period Of dreading, which is
worse than getting right at it.
Without a definite planning to do
the difficult work first, 1t is the most
natural thing in the world to choose
the thing easier or most enjoyable
With a change the revision would
make in our lives, the hard work
would be more often behind US, fin
ished and done away with, and we,
free to enjoy much along the way that
would otherwise be crowded out, be.

ones own garden with care, they need
not be washed, but this will not apply
to those which come from the city

and clouds of dust through which they
have passed we are willing to lose a
little of the favor to be sure they are
we'll cleansed. They should never be
left standing in a pan of water in a
warm room, or put into a colander
where the sand washes down to the
bottom layer. Drop a few at time
into a pan of cold water, quickly re-
move and drain. The sand will drop
to the bottom Of the pan. More solid
berries can be handled less carefully,
but raspberries, blackberries and
strawberries need careful handling.
Granite ware or agate are best for
use in preserving. Most fruits keep
shape and color better if cooked in a
thick sirup. Watery fruits are i'm
