DO YOU KNOW?

That TO save time when cooking you
should mix pepper and salt in proportion
to taste and keep on hand In n shaker for
seasoning vegetables.
That an oily complexion can only be
overcome by avoiding %gravies, pastries
and rich cake. Water must be freely
drunk between meals and plenty of fruit
eaten,
That the plugs should always be kept
in the tub and basin. and any other pipe
leading to the sewer, especially at night.
SO that the gas arising from that source
will find no outlet or make it's way inro
the hall ana the sleeping-rooms.
That when washing windows by adding
a small quantity of bluing to the water
the windows will be improved in ap-
pearance.
That in buying a thimble choose one a
size larger than your exact fit. When y
thimble is the exact size, or too small,
the finger will soon pain one.

In 1851 Miss Beecher wrote: I'm select
ing fish take those that are firm and
thick, having stiff fins. thick scales, the
gills bright red and the eyes prominent
and full. When fish are long out Of
water they grow soft, the fms bend
easily. the scales are dull and soft, the
gills grow dark and the eyes sink and
shrink away They should be dressed
as soon as caught, sprinkled with salt
and cooked the same day"
At Saturdays remarkable market was
heard: Fish at five cents a pound is
surely a remarkable blessing without any
disguise, but how do You cook fsh?"
Well. they can be fried, broiled, baked
with stutiing. crlmped, faxed and in
balls and souffles and creamed and an
occasional chowder.
One thing the cookery books direct you
to dc Is: Put the fish into as much or
more water as will cover them" We
never drown ours, for too much water
Is bad. II you want to boil the fish a
little more water than will half cover
Is sufficient. Keep the lid of the sauce
pan well down and simmer gently. 1t
eats much richer and has a finer flavor
than the book way, which soddens it
and takes away the hne frmness we
prize.

BRIDES MARKETING COAT

Since 1t has again become the fashion
for the head of a household to do the
marketing in person instead of over a
telephone, the bride-eleet who means to
take good care of her husbands income
needs n long coat with which to cover
her morning frock and ave herself the
trouble of making a special toilet in which
to interview the butcher and the grocer.
Always smart-looking and eminently
practical are the belted Mackinaw coats
which come In wood shades of brown.
green and gray and ave detachable
hoods. The same model comes in plaid
made up with a plain-colored hood, belt
and strappings; also hooded is a long
coat which comes In checked wool or
navy blu whipcord which has a lining,
reyers, cuff finishes and buttons Of shot
~tafeta. and decidedly chic are the coats
In dark blue serge having a rounded col
lar, left revers and cuffs of dark green
plaid.

A nice thing for a group OF intimate
friends to dc for a bride-elect Is to pro-
vide the fittings for her writing desk.
Two or three together might purchase
a desk-set proper, which consists of SIX
pieces in addition to the adjustable blot
ter pad corners. This set may be of
monogram or initial decorated celluloid,
plated gold, German or sterling silver,
steel-trimmed brass, etched bronze,
crystal, a composition resembling ivory
jade, any of the fashionable desk leath-
ers. mahogany. rosewood or white
enameled oak. Even more delicate and
really inexpensive, considering their
highly decorative character are the
Louis XVI. sets made of MORE embroid-
cred with ribbon work or with tinsel
thread.
Don't forget to give the bride-elect a
desk clock. Those of owl shape in gun
metal. with the face of the tlmepiece
set in the breast, or of carved ebony or
ivory, with the clocks face set beneath
the raised beak, are unique, especially as
the bird stares over both with amethyst,

To Bleach Blue Linen Dress

lear MISS LOON.
I have a blue linen dress which is
faded in several places. Can you sug-
gest a way to make it white? Also,
how can l remove the shine from a
dark blue serge skirt? BY answering
these questions you will greatly oblige,
A STAR READER.
Boil the dress until you have extracted
as much color as possible and then lay
1t in the sun and keep 1t wet for at
least, half a day. This method is the
best, for there Is no danger of ~lnjuring
the fabric. If the dress is not entirely
white after a couple of these treatments
you may use a bleaching solution, bur
you must be very, very careful. as any
solution strong enough to remove the
color Is very apt to injure the fabric.
Javelle water makes a good bleach.
Place side by side two vessels. one con-
tanning the javelle water, the other clear
water to which a little ammonia has been
added. Dip the dress in the javelle
water, remove it quickly, and then rinse
1t thoroughly in the ammonia water.
Hang 1t out in the air to dry. A couple
of treatments may be necessary to make
the dress white. Be careful to remove
It from the javelle water and put 1t In
the ammonia water very quickly, for If
you don't 1t will be perforated with holes
of various sizes.
The best way to take the shine from
the skirt is to sponge 1T with heated
vinegar. put a damp cloth over 1t and
press it carefully.

AN IDEA FOR A PARTY

Il remember how l used to hate to
go to parties when / was a boy" said
Uncle John. "Bu there was one party
/ remember hat l rather enjoyed. Curious
what little things will make an impress
sion ON a child, When we went in to take
our places at the table there we're three
little glasses at each place. One was
filled with red stuff, one with white, and
one with blue-or was it green? I'm not
quite sure. I'm not sure what the stuff
wal either. l hink the red must have
been cherry or strawberry Juice. The
white might have been lemonade, or, per-
haps, 1t was favored with pineapple. 1
don't know what would make the blue;
probably huckleberry Juice. What ! re-
member most clearly is the particularly
gay festal feeling it gave me to have
those three little glasses to choose among
and sip from. | think | really enjoyed
that party. The only one | ever did as |
remember. Such little things will often
please a child so absurdly much" said
Uncle John.

THE TEETH

teeth-are through, and in good condi-
ton, still that is not enough. They must
be attended to carefully. A mother
should procure a brush with quite soft
bristles, and with this and a nice tooth
paste clean the child's teeth morning and
evening-especially evening. Before a
child is put to bed at night the teeth
should be cleaned with care; that re-
moves any particles Of food that may be
adhering to them, and that is an i'm
portant point.
If a mother does this regularly, II be-
comes a habit, and the child later on will
just as soon think of going without his
face being washed as without his teeth
being brushed. The practise has become
a fixed habit and 1t is a good habit.
. 1t Is often asked: Why do teeth begin
to go so soon nowadays? Dur food is
chiefly to blame. We do not eat a sufi-
cheney of ~bone-forming foodstuffs. We
take too little of those materials that
are body building. Teeth reared on
Scottish oatmeal bannocks are usually
good teeth. and for two excellent rea-
sons. bannocks are made of oatmeal
that grand bone maker an body builder
and oatmeal, well masticated. Is one Of
the best known teeth cleaners and polish
ers.

CASES FOR NAPERY

Cases for individual napery, meaning
the centerpieces, side mats and tray
cloths, which are usually kept in the
sldeboard drawers, are made of long
strips of plain Irish linen, one end of
which is attached with tiny tacks to "A
roll of soft wood, also covered with linen.
After this linen strip has beens woun1
once about the roll there will be no dan
ger of its tackheads tearing the individ
ual piece of embroidered napery which
is rolled about 1t In company with the

Tn these days children's teeth are not
aiven quite that amount of Afternoon
thew ought to receive. 1t is a common
idea that the first teeth-the milk teeth
arc Of no importance. You will near
a mother say: 1--WE will have to waten
Jacks second teeth. They're the ones
that count" Very true; but unless tne
first teeth are properly cared for, the
second set won't be of great service to
the owner.
Give n child something hard to bite as
long as the teeth are beneath the level
of the gums. but once the teeth are In
view. no hard substance should be given
to a child. The enamel Is very easily
broken, and once that Is done, the too.h
is liable to decay quickly.
The seeds of indigestion are usually
sown quite early IN life. We who are
adults know very well how faulty teeth
affect our digestion. Very well; bad teeth
I'm children do the very same thing ana
~ tbe milk teeth are allowed to go bad
through neglect and so forth, indigestion
laws its horrible hands on n child, ana
the grin IS never released throughout
life.
1t sometimes happens that the second
set of teeth makes its appearance before
the first set is put. In a case of the KIND
there is but one thing to do-take the
child TO a good dentist, and get him to
open up the way for the second set Tn
less this is done, the second teeth have
no chance, and must push their way out
as best they can, with the result that In
the emf they are quite irregular, some
times positively Notwithstanding.
But granted the first set-the milk
