MAKES A GOOD BOILED DISH
pepper Pot" May Be Recommended
as Substantial Feature for
the Dinner.

Use either knuckle of veal or
fowl or the carcass Of a fowl boiled
with two pounds of honeycomb and
two pounds of plain tripe. Wash the
cleaned tripe thoroughly, scald it,
bring it to a boil and wash in cold
water. Put it into the soup-kettle
with the other meat. Add four quarts
OF cold water, bring slowly to a boil
ard simmer for six hours or until the
tripe is tender. When tripe is tender
remove and strain the stock Set
beth away to cool quickly. An hour
before dinner the next day cut the
tripe into squares and the meat into
dice. Pare four potatoes and cut
them into blocks, then make so small
suet balls. (To do this, chop a cupful
OF suet, adding gradually a cupful Of
flour and half teaspoon of salt. Add
slowly sufficient water to moisten; do
not make them wet. Dust the hands
with flour and roll the mixture quick
ly into balls the size of small mar
tles.) Skim the stock. put it into a
kettle, add chilies, onions, table
spoonful of thyme, of salt and salt
spoonful of celery seed Boil for ten
minutes, add potato blocks, bring
again to boil, add tripe, the meat
dice and the suet balls. Cover and

out breaking potatoes.-Exchange.

FOR SERVING TARTAR SAUCE
Idea Put Into Use by One Hostess
Would Seem to Have Many
Good Points.

A good idea for the serving of tar
tar sauce of mayonnaise is suggested
by one enterpriisng housewife. She
cuts lemon in half, cleans out the in
side thoroughly and then fills the
halves with the sauce. She serves
one to each guest. When fish or sal
I'D is served the little lemon o6ps are
placed around the edge of the platter
anG one is taken by each guest. In
this way the sauce is kept firm and
strong instead of melting into liquid
when put on hot plate.
For the home where guests are al
ways arriving and departing there is
nothing quite so nice for the windows
as white cotton crepe. This may be
simply hemmed or trimmed with ball
fringe. For the dressers and bureaus
covers of fieece-lined pique will be
found very satisfactory. This may
be cut into the required size and the
edges buttonholed in scallops. Two
sets Of curtains and covers should be
kept OF hand, one in use and clean
ore besides.

PROPER DEGREE OF NEGLECT
Sometimes Hard, Even for the Wisest
Mother, to Know When to Draw
the Line.

Wholesome neglect is about the
best kind of care a child can receive"
she said. And my children have all
had plenty of it,"
The other mother was so impressed
by the words Of the mother of seven
healthy children that she actually be-
gan to practice little bit of whole
some" neglect with her own eve lamb.
One day the little girl came running
to her with cut finger. Formerly
that mother would have called in
physician to bind up the cut. But hav-
ing decided to make use of whole
some neglect, she merely took out
her handkerchief, wrapped it around
the child's finger, dried her tears, and
told her to run back and play.
The mother of the seven children
happened to be present When the
little girl had run away she said to
the other mother, THAT is very dan
gerous way to treat a cut. Do you
usually follow that practice?'
NO" replied the other mother; 81
usually send for the doctor But /
am following your example, and using
wholesome neglect"
The other mother meditated mo-
ment, and then she said 'It is not
necessary, think, to call in a doctor
when a child cuts her finger; but to
bind it up with handkerchief that
has been carried even for few hours,
exposed TO dust, and not to cleanse
the finger thoroughly before binding
it up at all, seems to me, if 1 may say
so, to be not wholesome but "un-
wholesome neglect. So many per.

he arrived at Tredannick Wartha he
found an extraordinary state of things.
His two brothers and his sister were
seated round the table exactly as he
had left them, the cards still spread
in front Of them and the candles
burned down to their sockets. The
sister lay back stone-dead in her chair,
while the two brothers sat on each
side of her laughing, shouting and
singing, the senses stricken clean out
of them. All three of them, the dead
woman and the two dementad men,
retained upon their faces an express
sion of the utmost horror-a convul-
sion of terror which was dreadful to
look upon There was no sign of the
presence of anyone in the house, ex-
cept Mrs. Porter, the cook aud house
keeper, who declared that she had
slept deeply and heard no sound dur
ing the night. Nothing had been stolen
or disarranged, and there is absolute
ly no explanation of what the horror
can be which has frightened woman

could coax my companion back INTO

drama which had broken in upca our
peace.
