MAKING USE OF GOOSEBERRY.
Jelly One of the Best Condiments
That Can Be Served With Fish
or Cold Meats.

1t would be a pity to let the goose
berry season pass without making
some goosberry jelly to serve with fish
and cc,d meats. 1t is made by adding
10 every cupful of goosberry pulp two
cupfuls of sugar and letting the whole
boil until 1t is of thick, jellylike con-
sistency To prepare the goosberry
pulp, top and tall the fruit, then add
enough water to it to prevent burning
Let it cook on the stove until the fruit
is soft. While cooking pound the fruit
with potato masher, occasionally to
hasten the process. When done press
the whole through q sieve fine enough
to exclude the seeds and skins This
gooseberry pulp may be spieed If de
sired, but it is delicious without the
spices. and is particularly good with
fried weakf1sh in midsummer. or, in
fact, with any fish or with cold meats.

CARING FOR THE CORSET
When Soled They Can Be Washed
at Home Instead Of Sending to
the Cleaners.

Some people, instead of washing
their corsets when they get soiled,
always send them to the cleaners.
But with little care corsets can be
washed at home most successfully.
First of all rip the front seam on
both sides and take out the steels.
II these are left in iron mold stains
Will certainly appear after washing.
Then dissolve some soap jelly, made
by shredding half pound of the best
yellow soap In one quart of boiling
water and simmering until dissolved
in warm water.
Two tab.espoonfuls of jelly to half
a gallon of water is usually sufficient,
but very hard water may require
more.
Put the corsets into the suds end
allow them to soak for five minutes.
Then spread them or a board and
brush thoroughly with a wellsoaped
nail brush, dipping them occasion.
ally into the suds to remove the loos-
ened dirt.
When quite clean rinse through two
lots of warm water and hang up to
drip dry. When almost dry iron on
the inside with a cool flatiron and aft
er a thorough airing replace the
front steels and sew them firmly in.
II this is carefully done the cor
set will emerge from the washtub as
good as new.

Cut one-half pound of tomatoes in
slices, add to the onion. and cook all
together for 90 minutes. Add last of all
the fish and a good sprinkling of pep

FAULT SOMETIMES IN IRONING
When Coiors Fade II Is Good idea
to investigate That Branch of
Laundry Work.

Fading is often caused by too hot
irons.
The fading of colored articles is due
often not to the washing, but the iron
ing.
Too hot irons are used directly on
the material, and this will fade deli
cate colors more than any amount Of
washing.
The effect is even worse than strong
sunlight
Be sure that the article is evenly
dampened and that the iron is only
hot enough to smooth the wrinkles
properly by firm. even pressure, and
you will have no more trouble from
fading.
Skirts must never be ironed across
The cores, but mp and down; other
wise the fit of the garment is ruined

Vegetables that have leaves or fold.

oughly.
Spreading a little flour on top of n
cake will sometimes prevent icing
from running
Bamboo furniture should be rubbed
occasionally with a mixture CT linseed
oil and turpentine, followed by brisk
polish with a soft cloth.
A good mixture to set color in cot
ton materials is one tablespoonful of
turpentine, a handful of salt and pail
of cold water. Put goods in over
night.

The marks of matches on walls may

done after strip is added to white of

A simple method of keeping butter
in warm weather Is to inyert large
earthenware crock on a flower pot over
the dish containing the butter, wrap
the crock with wet cloth and put a
little water in the dish with the but
