Suggestions

When cooking in a gas oven ba-
sin of water should always be kept in
the oven.
To clean velvet scrape a little pipe
clay on it, then brush off lightly with
stiff brush.
Raisins may be easily stoned If
boiling water is poured on them and
they are left in it for a short time
Suede shoes that have become
worn and shiny may be freshened by
rubbing them lightly with emery pa
per.
After an umbrella has been used for
short time, put drop of oil in the
center of the top about once month
This prevents the ribs from rusting.
Tan boots and shoes can be reno
waited by well rubbing them with
rag dipped in olive oil and afterward
polishing with a piece of old velvet.
To render boots and shoes water
proof in damp weather, rub a little
mutton suet round the edges Of the
soles. Beeswax is just as efficacious.
Comforts and quilts should be
dried in a good stiff breeze so that
they may be as light and fluffy as
when new.
Flannelette may be rendered non-in-
fammable by rinsing it after washing
in alum water. Dissolve two ounces
of alum in a gallon of cold water.
When the color has been taken out
of a silk dress in some places by a
splash of acid it may be restored by
applying to the spot a little sal vola-
tile.
Frequent busting saves sweeping.
A room that is busted often and thor
oughly will not require such constant
sweeping as one that is busted care
lessly and seldom.
For mildew, salt water and sun
shine will remove the worst mildew
stains. Wet often when the sun is
bright, and persevere until the gar
ment is clear and white.
Patent leather shoes should have
the dirt removed from them with q
damp sponge. Dry with a buster and
then apply a very little vaseline and
polish with a silk handkerchief
To clean French kid gloves place
them on your hands and wash them
in some spirits of turpentine until
there is a current of air and the smell
will disappear.
Steel knives that are not in general
use may be kept from rusting If they
are dipped in strong solution of soda
Zone part water to four parts soda).
Then wipe dry, roll in flannel and
keep in dry place.
Dates stuffed with walnuts and then
dipped in melted chocolate make a
delicious bonbon. Among a saucerful
of such dates have, for varieties sake,
few that are stuffed with raisins
and dipped also in chocolate.
Silver dress trimmings which have
become discolored may be cleaned by
covering them with dry powdered
magnesia. Leave it for three hours,
then rub it well with flannel and brush
off with a perfectly clean plate brush
Dish cloths do not get the attention
. | -, or
dirty and quite unfit for use, After
washing up, always soap the dish
cloth we'll and then rinse in hot wa
ter with soda in it. Rinse again "l
hot water and hang it in the air to
dry.
Certain flavorings always seem 70
fit certain colors. No enlightened
cook would think of flavoring yellow
cake, bonbon or dessert with pistacA-
10, almond or rose, or a pink dessert
with lemon, pistachio or orange
Rose extract is always reserved for
sweets of pink or white tint, almond
for white, orange for yellow, and lem
on for white or green, and pistachio,
of course, for green. A discord be-
tween color and flavor, for instance
pink dessert favored with pistach-
10. or a green dessert favored with
rose, always seems like an atrocity
no matter how good" it may taste.
