tine by saturatlng the spots for sew
eral hours then rubbing out, leaving
neither color nor texture injured; but
in the case Of the cream cashmere
coat which 1t is not desired to wash,
1t will be best for you to use salt and
lemon Juice. Fold a pad Of plotting
paper beneath the stain, touch the spot
with lemon Juice, and Immediately put
on fine salt; leave this for a time then
brush off and treat again In the same
way when the stain will be found very
faint. Rub the next application well
into the fabric with a soft clean cloth
and the final traces will disappear.
Touching the stains lightly with ia
velle water or solution of chloride of
lime will also bleach the Ink, II of
the common kind, but must touch the
stained portion only. Sponge off light
ly with a damp cloth and press when
the stain is removed.

WATER CAKE RECIPES
DELICIOUS CONNECTIONS MADE
WITHOUT MILK OR CREAM.
Sponge Cakes Made With Hot Water
Familiar Example of This Kind Of
Cooklng-Cookies and Spice
Cakes.

There are many delicious kinds Of
cake that may be prepared with water
instead of milk or cream, and in the
absence of the latter such recipes are
very useful. Hot water sponge cakes
are a familiar example of this kind.
Recipes for black molasses cake and
cookies and also spice cakes rich with
fruit often call for hot or cold water.
The following is q Washington pie
that calls for water instead OF milk:
Beat three eggs light and fold a cup
full Of sifted powdered sugar through
them, then fold in n cupful and a
half Of flour, slfted several times with
a teaspoonful Of soda and two of
cream Of tartar. Moisten the dough
with two tablespoonfuls of cold water
and favor 1t with lemon extract. Bake
In two layer tins after greasing them
with a little very pure fat. The house
wife who offers this recipe does not
use butter to grease her cake tins be-
u of the slight salty quality in 1t,
which she considers detrimental to
the delicate quality of the cake. When
the cake Is baked let 1t stand in the
tins, and when cool split open each
layer, thus making four layers. Four
layers OF this kind wifi make q much
softer and more delicate cake han IL
they had been baked In four layer
tins, because there is not so much
hard crust. GRADUATED sugar may be
used in the cake il the powdered sugar
is not at hand.
For the cream filing mix a table
spoonful of cornstarch with a little
cold milk, just enough to dissolve it;
then add an egg and beat the whole
into half a pint of boiling milk. STIR
ring the milk rapidly to prevent urd
ling. When all has become a smooth
custard, beat in half a cupful of sugar
and a piece of butter the size of a wal
nut. Spread the mixture, after flavor.
ing with lemon rind (grated). over
three of the layers and hen place to-
gether in the usual way, with the
fourth layer on top of all. This makes
a moist and delicate loaf with four
thin layers OF the cake and three lay
ers, almost equal In thickness, OF the
cream.
The following is a recipe for a white
cake with water instead OF milk:
Cream a liberal quarter of a cupful of
butter with a cupful of sugar. Moisten
1t with half a cup of water and stir
the whole into one cupfuI and a half

MAKING HOUSEKEEPING EASIER.

Have plain woodwork when it is Civ
en- you to choose.
Woodwork finished with a good var
nish may be cleaned easily with a
damp cloth.
Have the work table covered with
zinc and save scrubbing.
yarnish the shelves after q coat Of
paint. and they will clean as easily
as thing.
Keep plenty Of soft paper to wipe
out greasy dishes, pots, and pans, and
save the dish washing.
Keep a bundle OF newspapers handy
to set soiled and smoky pans on.
A window shade fastened to a set of
open shelves makes a fine curtain to
keep out the dust.
Use a mop with a large dust-cloth
and save STOPPING in busting floors.
Plan the meals a week ahead, at
least, and save unnecessary friction.
The areas of travel in the home
should be covered with rugs; light
ones, easy to dust and clean.
Rubber heels are a great saving of
both floors and nerves; yours and 9th
ers.
The v system pays toll alike
for Earring sights and sounds.
When ironing, place a folded rug or
piece Of carpet to stand on. The
amount of ease this viii give the feet
has only to be tried to be appreciated.
A rug should not extend under the
bed, az this complexities cleaning.
Small rugs are best for a bedroom,
one before the dresser, washstand and
bed are necessary.
Eliminate many Of the rocking
chairs from the living room and have
more room to move about.
Get rid of tufted and cushioned fur
niture as soon as possible. Dust Is
the greatest friend of diseases and
much of dust fingers in upholstered
furniture.
Aside from ventilation, windows are
made to look out of and for light to
look in. Do not load them with heavy
hanglngs.
Much of the so-called china on plate
rails catching lust would look better
in a closed closet.
The decorations of the walls in
the dining-room are usually considered
sufficient ornament.

645 EMBROIDERY DESIGN.
1900 Girls Plated Dress,
d to 10 years.

WITH LOW OR HIGH SHIELD.
THREE QUARTER OR LONG
SLEEVES.
Plated dresses arc always pretty for
little girls. This one combines single
plaits with box plaits and is unusually
attractive. In this instance embroidery
is applied over the box plait at the center
front, but it could be covered with band
ing or it could be left plain, or the edges
of the plat, the collar and the cuffs could
be scalloped to be very pretty. Linen
and pique suggest themselves as being
peculiarly welt adapted to such a model,
but it also is an excellent one for the
thinner lawns and batistes and materials
of the kind. In this case blue linen is
embroidered with white thread, but a
very pretty effect could be obtained by
making the frock from dimity, batiste, or
lawn and applying embroidered or lace
banding in place Of the embroidery.
For the 8 year size will be needed Al
yards of material II, 3@s yards 80, "a

The pattern, No. 1890, is cut in sizes
for girls of s, s, and 10 years of age, and
will be mailed to any address by the

one of the new shades. The wrap pic
tured is sleeveless. though often
sleeves are added; and the coat tails
falling almost to the skirt hem at the
back are particularly smart. The
wrap is made OF blue in a smoky violet
shade and p~laitings of the silk trim It
all around the edge. The long silk
gloves, embroidered on the wrist, are
lavender to ~harmonize with the coat,
but the smart buttoned boots are
white, to match the frock.

Who is 1t among us who would
not help an orphan child when in
need of help. True there are
orphan children, who are more
able to take care of themselves
than we are to help, made so by
the gracious provision of their
earthly parents. who by using
the talent that God gave them
for handling finances had laid
up enough 10 keep their off
spring in easy circumstances
after they are gone.
This is not true however in a
great many cases. There are
those who leave their little ones
TO the mercy Of the kindhearted
people of the land; leave them
penniless: leave them homeless.
Then where will you find a bet
ter place to put these little ones
but in a well regulated properly
conducted orphans home. We
are in receipt of a copy of the
Buckner's Orphan Home Annual
of the reports Of that Institution,
and find by careful perusal Of
same that that institution needs
more help than it is getting To
properly care for the inmates
thereof. The following is copied
from two pages of this book. and
shows that YOU can help them to
a certain extent, then out of
your b0untiful supplies will YOU
pass up this opportunity To do a
christian act?

Don't YOU believe orphan

The home has not half enough
good milk cows and could not
