Selling Grapefruit MarmaIade.

Selling Grapefruit Marmalade.
Mrs. T. H. B.-To my mind there is
no reason why you should not make a
good success selling the marmelade. The
recipe which you ask for follows: A
clear. delicate marmalade is made by
taking three grapefruit, weighing some
thing over three pounds in all. making
about three pints when cut up. Wash
carefully, slice in thin strips. removing
white center and seeds. Soak in twice
the measure Of water for three days,
stirring each day. On the third day boil
until tender. add seven pounds of sugar
previously heated. and boil until IL
thickens, stirring frequently. The time
OF boiling varies. but usually requires
three hours or more. This quantity
should fill about fourteen glasses Of ordi-
nary size.
Boudoir Caps.
Young wife-Yes, boudoir or breakfast
caps are much in evidence these days,
and you will not find 1t hard work TO
make you something pretty and attrac-
tive in that line. There are often on
sale a lot of motifs in lace or embroid-
cry, which. though more or less soiled,
are perfectly good. These may be bought

bluntly triangular shape, and when these
have been washed ana ironed arrange
them together so as to form a square.
Make a plated frill Of fine linen and
finish the edge with a narrow Valen-
cIennes.
This fril must be deep enough in the
middle of the back to reach from the
crown of the head to the nape of the
neck From there II graduates on In

front. The front and side medallions
are fastened together just at the points,
and this allows the delicate blue or pink
satin ribbon to pass under the front
motif, bind the plaits In a little. and
tie in the back at the bottom Of the frill
in a bow with long ends.
The square Of medallions sets right on
the top OF the head, and the frill covers
the back and sides almost entirely. and
friIl. above the lace, serves to convert
1t into bewttching little cap. The deep
est part of the frill is about six inches.
Good Form.
Mrs. LIN speaking Of your husband
to intimate friends IL Is better form to
use his Christian name rather than doc
tor; II you wish to speak Of him more
formally say DR.. Smith.
Even IL you DO not intend having
special "at-home" days 1t is better to
enclose eafds stating that you will be
at home after a certain date, naming
the place of residence.
The plain silver service Is always ele-
CANT and In good taste, although there
are many simple floral designs which
are very attractive and desirable.
To Cleanse the Face.
Louise-Almond or corn meal would be
used as you would soap, simply moisten-
ing 1t suhiciently to rub on the face.
washing OF well with warm water and
rinsing with cold. \
There are a number Of good creams
which are prepared for the face and
which are said not to cause the down
10 grow on the skin, but an ordinary
cold cream would probably have q ten
dency to do this Be careful in using
any cream not TO allow the pores to be-
come clogged.
There is really nothing to permanently
remove this light growth of down Perox-
ide Is said to tighten II and make Il less
conspicuous It might be well to avoid
using the cream for while and Try
good soap containing olive oil or almond
