Some Useful Hints
For the Housewife

When washing a silk blouse 1t will be
found much easier to iron II a teaspoon
full of methylated spirit is added to the
water in which IT is rinsed.
If hat brim dips unduy, get some
millinery wire and sew 1t neatly just
under the brim. making the Join where
1t will not show This will make 1t
look neat and stiff.
Turpentine will instantly remove ink
stains from white muslin II II is applied
Immediately after the accident has hap
pened. The spirit will not spoil the
most delicate material
When working on new, hard calico,
soap the seam and edges to be sewn
together. The needle will then pass
through much easier. To run the needle
through a slightly oiled rag is also a
help.
If one teaspoonful Of glycerine be
added to every four pounds of any kind
of marmalade fifteen minutes before
boiling is completed. It will be found to
remove the foggy appearance and be-
come transparent and very much hrmer
than ordinary home made jam.
Game, unlike poultry, should not be
cooked fresh, but to be eaten in perfec-
ton should be kept in the fur or leath-
ers. not drawn, and hung the reverse

Good Way to Prepare
Delicate Mushrooms

Mushrooms bought in the market
these days cannot compare In flavor
with the delicate mama which now
springs into existence over night and
may be plucked in all it's perfection by
the ''early bird" who is willing to fore
go her forty winks.'
In cooking mushrooms simplicity
rules. It is a great mistake to con-
ceal their delicate flavor with high
seasonings. One of the incest ways
to prepare the meadow mushrooms Is
to peel them. trim off the. stalks and
lay them in a porcelain lined sauce
pan with a tablespoonful OF sweet
butter. Let the Juice gradually be
drawn out, then add as much cream
or milk as you have mushroom liquor.
Simmer six minutes. season lightly
with salt and pepper and turn over
deltcately Drowned slices of toast.
For dry mushrooms the button mush-
rooms are best. Take them when
perfectly fresh, place on clean sheets
Of paper and dry thoroughly in a slow
oven: When quite dry they may be
powdered or put away as they arr, in
clean dust and insectproof bags. When
needed for use put into cold gravy or
stock and heat gradually.-Exchange.
