Dates stuffed with peanut butter and
then rolled in sugar are pleasing

If curtain or portiere pole is
rubbed with hard soap before being
put up the draperies will slip on cas-
tly.
Dates and figs cut In small pieces
and served with plenty of sugar
make a tasty accompaniment to a
dish of rice boiled In milk.
Cheese may be kept soft and good
for long time If wrapped in cloth
wrung out in vinegar and then
wrapped again in dry cloth.
Whole wheat or brown bread cut
into very thin slices and spread with
unsalted butter is tasty served with
oysters on the half shell.
Strange as 1t may seem, beef may
be kept for months If immersed in
sour milk. The Tactic acid destroys
the germs of putrefaction.
Scraps Of toilet soap should be
saved and when half cupful or so is
on hand it is good plan to make the
scraps into soap jelly.
Use hot milk instead of cold when
MASKING potatoes and they will be
fluffier.
Chicken fat is far better than but
ter to use in making white sauce
when creaming chicken.
Always lower the temperature Of
the oven somewhat fifteen or twenty
minutes after roast has been placed
in 1t. This will insure that the juices
be retained.
On rainy days, when it becomes nee
essary to dry clothes within doors,
use your theoretical knowledge that
heat rises and hang them as high up
as possible.

A hat, recently designed, Is made

CHAPTER xxv.-fcontInued,)

You swear you'll do your part?"
he said thickly. He took his purse
from his pocket and counted out the
amount due Hicks He named the
total, and paused irresolutely.
Don't you want the fire lighted?"
asked Hicks. He was familiar with
his employers vacillating moods.
YES" answered Ware, his lips
quivering; and slowly, with shaking
fingers, he added to the pile OF bills
In Hicks hand.
We'll, take care of yourself" said
Hicks, when the count was complete.
He thrust the roll of bills into his
pocket and moved to the door.
Alone again, the planter collapsed
into his chair, breathing heavily, but
his terrors swept over him and left
him with a savage sense Of triumph.
This passed; he sprang up. intending
to recall Hicks and unmake his bar
gain. What had he been thinking of
safety lay only in fight! Before he
reached the door his greed was in the
ascendant. He dropped down on the
edge of his bed, his eyes fixed on the
window The sun sank lower. From
where he sat he saw it through the
upper half of the sash, blood-red and
livid in mist of f1eecy clouds.
1t was in the tops OF the old oaks
now, which sent their shadows into
his room Again maddened by his
terrors, he started and backed toward
the door; but again his greed, the
one dominating influence of his life,
vanquished him.
He watched the sun sink. He
watched the red splendor fade over
the river; he saw the first stars ap-
pear. He told himself that Hicks
would soon be gone-if the fire was
not to be lighted he must act at
once! He stole to the window. 1t
was dusk now, yet he could distin-
guish the distant wooded boundaries
of the great fields framed by the dark
ening sky. Then in the silence he
heard the thud Of hoofs.

HINTS ON CANNING GREENS
Method Which II Followed Carefully
viii Insure Success
Every Time.

Many things used for green's may be
canned by the following method: Pick
over carefully and wash the leaves
mixture of kinds is desirable; cook in
boiling salted water as for the table
until nearly done; do not have much
water, but cook in closed kettles to
make the steam do the work. Then
pack closely in jars and pour over
them boiling vinegar to fill every air
space, then seal tightly as any other
canning. Pack the green's closely In
the jar, and when pouring in the boil
ing vinegar, run knife blade around
the edge in order to open up the
spaces for the vinegar. Wrap each
jar in brown paper, or put into paper
bags, and keep as other canned fruits
Spinach, mustard. chard, beet and 9TH
er greens are put up in this way

and dropping down before the table

pen.

Another very new model, in which
roses are wonderfully placed, shows
a large hemp shape with concave un'
derbrim filled in with very large full
bloom roses. They are mounted nat
against the underbrim, forming an en-

crown is trimmed with full ruche OF
lace and that finishes the design. The
shape is made with special reference
to this method of trimming.
