man who made plainness a first con-

To make deviled cheese. CRATE two
ounces of Parmisan cheese, add one tea
spoonful chopped pickles, teaspoonful
curry powder and plenty of mustard.
Butter slices of toast on both sides and
spread with the mixture. Put on a
well-buttered tin and bake five minutes
in a hot oven.
Altho in the big things of life, the
things that really matter, love Is gen.
erous and forgiving; in the minor faults
and small failings lovers are very criti-
CAL Little acts of carelessness will Vex
one grievously, says clever writer. IL
there is one thing more than another
that a man hates 1t is waiting for half
an hour or so while the girl OF his
choice is getting ready. In the fret and
fume thus occasioned he might begin to
wonder II he has chosen wisely. AL
ways be brisk and punctual II you are
keeping an appointment with the man
you love. Make a special effort to
please him, and do not relax this effort
when the nuptial knot has been tied.
So many wives make the mistake of
thinking that It doesn't matter after
ward" 1t does, very much SO. You
should always reserve your sweetest
smile for your husband, always give
him of your best, be gentle and sweet
tempered toward him. His very love
for you makes him critical, remember.
Do not take advantage of it, and think
that he is blind to every fault.
It makes little difference what one
wears. SO long as an air of daintiness
can be perceived. That comes from
clean hair, well arranged; from whole
some skin and carefully attended nails.
It means neatness in wearing apparel
and cleanliness of body, and is dis
tinguishing mark of the well-bred wo-
man of any Nation. The woman who
uses much perfume is bringing odium
upon herself. The first use of perfumes
was to hide lack of soap and water
Most men dislike any kind of perfum-
cry, except that which is given out by
natural flowers / know a man who
declares that his regard for certain
woman of his acquaintance had been
really lessened by her use of perfumed
soap, which he detests.
Pate de foie gras is an imported deli
cacy too expensive for the average
housekeeper. This recipe is simple, and
the result hard to detect as an imita-
ton. Boil one caifs liver; when cold
put thru the finest knife of the meat
chopper; add two cupfuls OF melted
butter, the juice of one onion, one-half
pound OF mushrooms stewed until ten
der, paprika and celery salt to taste.
Mix well, putting in some cut-up truf-
fies. Place in a buttered mold and
serve cold.
Roasted almond sandwiches are a
delicious change from ham" and other
common sandwiches. Shell the al
monds, put them in a bowl, pour over
sufficient boiling water to cover; let
stand for moment, drain and cover |
a second time with boiling water and |
let stand for about eight minutes. |
Drain. then remove the brown skins, |
which can be slipped off like a glove. |
Spread on pans and place in a warm |
oven. 1t Is best to keep the oven door |
partly open, as they quickly change |
color. Shift and shake from time to |
time. that they may dry evenly, and |
as soon as they are a pale straw color |
take out and let stand until cold: then |
chop fine. These may be prepared the |
day before they are needed Mix them |
with mayonnaise or very thick |
whipped cream.
To iron a white underskirt begin at |
the strings and waistband, then take /
The bottom of the skirt. Iron all around |
on the right side with very hot iron.
then iron the first frill. This friIl will |
probably have sewed work or lace. In |
either case it must be nicely ironed on /
the wrong side. Probably above the |
frill there will be tucks or hens. They |
must next be isoned over the wrong |
side and afterward on the right Rub |
the iron the way OF the hem. If there |
k second friil the cloth under the !
frill te ironed at the same time as the |
hem OF tucks and the friiI again ironed |
on the wrong side. Put skirt board into |
the skirt and place each end of the |
board on the table, thus allowing the |
skirt to hang over the board. 1t can |
thus be easily ironed and nicely in- |
