TO LAUNDER BLACK CLOTHES
Wash In Hot, Clean soapsuds and Rinse In the Ordinary
 Way.

This is a problem which confronted he few months ago, on going into mourning for a loved one. It is abso- lutely necessary to wear clothes that can be laundered if one keeps nice and fresh This plan can be used for black lawn shirtwaists and corset GOV CTS. and sateen or any black under skirt except silk
 First, black clothes must never be washed in water that has been used for either washing or rinsing white things, as there Is always fine lint in this water that sticks to the black, and no amount of rinsing will get 1t of. Wash in hot, clean soapsuds, and rinse in the ordinary way. To starch take cupful of white cornmeal, place in a frying pan and set next the fire on the range. Burn this until 1t is black, pour in boiling water, stirring all the while. Then strain, and you have a splendid starch. Iron on the wrong side and your shirtwaists will be beautifully sweet and fresh.-Har- per's Bazaar

The broiler frame hangs perpendicu larly and as the meat is cooked the essence drips into trough below and runs out of little spout on the side and into a cup that Is fixed to the side of the casing.

Parboil, blanch and chill one good pair of sweetbreads and cut them into small pieces. Grind fine one dozen salted almonds, six olives, one green pepper and one gherkin pickle. Add these to the sweetbreads with the juice of lemon, juice of one onion and wine glass of sherry. Let stand one hour, then drain and serve in green pepper cases with mayonnaise dressing.
 The invariable rule of good salad making is to have all of the ingredi ents ready, but not to mix the salad until the last possible moment Of course, celery, where it is used, holds salad up pretty well, but if dressed too long 1t is bound to grow wilted and unappetizing.
