three such cups If smaller cups | are used only a tablespoonful each of the fruit and batter should be placed In each one. Cook in a steamer for forty.live minutes, and serve with any liquid sauce suitable for steamed pudding, or with sugar and cream.
 CrystaIized Apples.
 Two cupfuls of sugar. lIa cupfuls of water. F lemon, apples and whipped cream. Take a little care in selecting your apples, so as to have them of good size and quality Boil the sugar and water for tif- teen minutes, together with half a lemon which has been cut in rather thin slices, the seeds being removed In this boiling syrup drop, at the end of fifteen minutes, the apples, which should be peeled and cored Watch them carefully while they are in the syrup so that they shall not break. They will need to cook for ten minutes or more. the time depending on the kind and size of the fruit. Try them with a fork, used on the inside to avoid breaking them. When they seem to be done remove them from the syrup to a warm glass dish, arranging them tastefully. As soon as the syrup has become cold pour what is left over the apples, using the lemon slices to garnish. Set in a cold place. Just before serving fill each apple with a little whipped cream. If you choose you may put on top of the cream little currant jelly or bit of walnut meat.
 Asbestos Mat Under Bread-Pan will help the bread to rise on a cold night The ordinary abestos stove mat may be heated for this purpose and placed between news papers to retain the heat, and then slipped under the bread pan.
 To Remove Stains.
 Fruit stains. or those from vege- tables, tea, coffee or wine, may be removed from white goods by treatment of common alkalies, such as salt borax, soda and chloride of limo of ha hnC effective treatments is that of salt Heap salt upon the freshly made stain and rub quite vigorously, then rinse in hot water to which a good amount of borax has been added. and the stain will instantly disap- pear.
 To Clean White Furs.
 Heat eornmeal in pan until it is as hot as the hands can bear. Put the furs in the meal and rub them as one would if using soap and wa ter, keeping the meal hot. After a few minutes of hard rubbing shake them out thoroughly. Another way, and one particularly recommended for children's white "bearskin" coats. is to rub them with stale bread. As soon as the bread becomes soiled and crumbles take a clean piece Continue doing this until the whole surface has been gone over thor ouehly: then take a perfectly clean comb and comb the fur the right way.
 When Pressing Dark Garments
 Cover the ironing board for the time with some dark lining material. Otherwise, sometimes after the gar ment has been dampened and press ed on the usual white cover white blotches are seen. owing to the starch on the cover. The dark cover also keeps the usual white one clean.
 Shapely Shoes.
 If cotton be stuffed into the toes of shoes when not in use they will retain their shapliness much longer than by the ordinary treatment. If properly followed up this is a satis- factory and inexpensive substitute for shoetrees. Crowd the cotton into the toes of the shoes when you take them off, while they are warm from contact with the feet and all wrin- kles and creases will disappear. At the same time rub them with a lit tie vaseline, using a soft cloth, and they will be bright, clean and pli- able as well as shapely.
