IN THE SEWING ROOM
SHORT BITS OF WISDOM THAT
ARE OF VALUE.
VIII Be Found to Be Labor Savers as
Well as EconomIcaI-How Rusty
Needles May Be Effective
ly Cleaned.

When darning a rent in wooden
goods. and 1t is impossible to ravel
out the goods itself for thread to darn
with, use long hairs from your own
head. The loose weave of the wool
loses the hair in its meshes, and so
the darn becomes invisible.
The best way to clean rusty needles
is to run them up and down in the
earth. Just go out in the garden and
stick the needles in the ground. then
pull them out Have the needles
threaded, with the thread tied double,
so there will be something to catch
hold of to extract the needle from the
earth. This method is even better
than using an emery bag.
When buttons come of shoes and
you sew them on again, run through
all the other buttons with the same
thread with which you replace the
missing ones. 1t will strengthen them
all and make the next button sewing
a task far in the future.
Small holes in black or white kid
gloves can easily be mended with
court-plaster. Cut the plaster little
larger than the hole itself, and stick
1t to the under part of the glove d.
rectly over the hole, pressing the Kid
down smooth on the sticky surface OF
the plaster. This will last as long as
the gloves themselves do.
If the tip breaks off the end of your
scissors. the jagged point may be
smoothed off by rubbing 1t on a whet-
stone. The point will be uneven. but
it will cut all right. The same treat
ment may be used for blunted needles.
Glove clasps, or snap fasteners are
better to use as fastening for plack'
cts on cloth dresses than are hooks
and eyes. But when the latter are
used be sure to buy those having the
peat eyes instead Of the ordinary loop
eye.
Silk petticoats always give way first
at the seam therefore, when you buy
a new one, sew silk seam binding
over each seam on the right side.
This will often serve as cure for
wornout petticoats.
When doing drawn work or hem
stitching on linen, soap the place
where the threads are to be
drawn, using a thick soap lather and
soft brush. After the work is once
started. it will be an easy matter to
draw out the threads, as they slip very
easily on the soapy surface

Baked AppIes WIth IeInn.

Wash. pare and core as many large
apples as are required. Fill the APP
Piles with two teaspoonfuls OF dried
currants, one-quarter teaspoonful OF
ground cinnamon, one level teaspoon
full Of butter, Bake them until they
are cooked Let the apples cool and
remove them to another dish. ice the
tops and sides with any kind OF cake
icing and put them back into The
oven and brown them slightly. After
taking them out OF the oven place a
canSed cherry on top Of each apple.
Serve them with cream.

NOVELTY IN TABLE COVERS
Of Tapestry Edged With Metal GalIoen
They Are an Effective Or
nament.

Extremely effective are the covers
for the table in the library or living
room made of tapestry, edged with
the metal galloon. The shops offer
the wool, or wool end silk tapestry, in
unusually handsome combinations Of
colors. Some tapestries have the met
al threads woven into the designs,
this being the case especially with the
changeable effects. The cover is cut
to fit the top exactly or may be made
in the form Of long runner hanging
well over the ends or sides Of the ta-
BILE; or, in some cases, it is made
square. hanging down on all four
Sides
A banding of the galloon finishes the
edge and sometimes a second band.
paralleling this a few inches from the
edge, is used
A cover of this sort is not only ar
tistic, but has remarkable wearing
qualities
1t may be said in passing that short
lengths Of the tapestry are often to be
found at much under regulation price.
Agents samples are especially well
adapted to covers OF this sort.

Lobster Buttered.

Pick the meat from a large freshly
boiled lobster. Mince it finely, put it
into stewpan with an ounce and a
half of fresh butter rolled in flour. Stir
it over a gentle fire until quite hot,
then add the one-eighth of a nutmeg,
grated, or, If this is not at hand, com
mon vinegar may be used; three
grains of cayenne with large salt
spoonful of white pepper in it. Two
tablespoonfuls of rich gravy are
great improvement to this dish. Stir
the mixture gently over the fire until
quite hot. Serve in the shell of the
lobster with bread crumbs over the
meat. Time to simmer, 10 minutes.
This recipe is sufficient for six or sew
en- persons.

Even your book statesmen are good

There's a concern in England that

These stalls are manned by poor lit

Baked Fish a la Creole.

Boil three Irish potatoes, mash them
and mix with two tablespoonfuls Of
butter, one small onion chopped

-four sprinkled over it. Put in the pan
at the same time two tablespoonfuls of
butter, two dessertspoonfuls of olive
oil. a dozen fresh tomatoes sliced (or
half a can of prepared ones), and a
teacupful of water. Bake in moder-
ate oven until the fish is done and
then slice three hard-cooked eggs over
it. Stir into the gravy a tablespoonful
of tomato catsup and tablespoonful OF
Worcestershire SAUCE, and either pour

report. this time from the top of the

crouched one of the Japs, firing with
decision and much careful selection.
