ADORNMENTS Fer THE TABLE
Cloths, Luncheon Sets and Oo''ies
Should All Be of the Finest
Possible Materials.

The tablecloth is becoming thing
of rare beauty and some OF the new
ones are lovely enough, with their
wealth of lace and hand embroidery,
to be used for lingerie gown.
For the round table the linen covers
only the top, a 14-inch border OF cluny
lace hanging below. This same lace
is inserted in the center OF the cloth
and takes the place OF the usual cen
ter-piece.
For the luncheon set color Is being
introduced. Daisies embroidered In
natural tints upon heavy Irish lineu
give a charming new touch. These
as a rule, include large centerpie~
and a dozen doilies.
Other pretty luncheon sets are made
Of finer linen. the doilies being cut IN
squares instead of round. while the
new punch work and very little nne
French embroidery are introduced.
All of these are rather expensive
when bought In the shops, but the
housewife who has several idle hours
during the day can with but slight
expense and little trouble give her ia
BILE linen a distinctive air.

COOKING PEAS AND CARROTS
Many Ways Of Preparation to Suit tho
Individual Taste-Peas Served
in Turnip Shells.

One way OF preparing peas. and for
my own taste there is none better:
Blend together two tablespoonfuls OF
butter and one tablespoonful Of -four.
one-half teaspoonful of salt and little
pepper. for each pint Of peas. When
the peas are soft stir this mo the
peas and cook five minutes. III pre-
pairing them in that way all the flavor
and nutritive value Of the peas are re-
tanned. Use care that there Is not too
much water; there should be only
enough to cook the peas in, which IS
scarcely enough to cover them.
To Cook Young Carrots.-Wash aud
scrape the carrots and cut in quarters
lenethwise; then holding the quarters
together place on board and cut
crosswise through the four quarters III
one-half inch pieces. Boil twenty MIN
utes or until soft in just enough water
to cover They are very nice prepared
by the same recipe given for peas; and
just before serving add Two teaspoon
fuls of parsley finely minced to each
pint Of carrots.
Peas and carrots.-One cup of car
rots cut in small pieces as stated and
two cups of shelled peas. Cook the
carrots and peas together until soft.
Drain: add four tablespoonfuls OF
cream and one tablespoonful of butter.
one-half teaspoonful Of salt and one
eighth of a teaspooonful Of pepper
Heat over hot water and serve as soon
as hot.
Peas Served In Turnip Shells - Sc
the fiat turnips for this dish ana
choose them near of Il size. Wash and
pare the turnips and with sharp
knife scoop out the center leaving a
shell one-half inch thick. Steam the
turnips and be careful not To overlook
them or they will fall to pieces Put
a folded napkin in the serving dish
and place the turnips on it; shake
little salt and pepper over them, and
fill with cooked peas which have been
seasoned with butter, salt and pepper.
Do not waste the turnip which was
scooped out. but cook and mash 1t anu
reserve for another meal.

Won't Have His Calling Insulted.

Won't Have HIS Gazing inSuiteu
There Is one sure way to insult a
delicatessen storekeeper and turn the
honey of his disposition into gall. 1t
can be done by remarking carelessly
as you buy his meat balls or fish
cakes that you only want them for the
cat, anyhow. No delicatessen man
with an ounce Of dignity can stand
that.
Il lost a customer last week by re-
fusing to sell a ring of liverwurst to
a woman who was buying it for her
dog" said one man In the trade. She
was a good customer, but when she
decided that she guessed that ring OF
wurst would do because she only want
ed it for the dog, l said: Madam, hu-
man beings might feel honored to eat
that wurst; it is not for dogs and l
put 1t back in the case.
Meat balls composed OF the very
best beef, veal, eggs. and cracker
crumbs are likewise insulted. They
will do for the cat If women must
buy these delicacies for their pets, let
them, but let them refrain from insult
ing the storekeeper by telling him

A Chinaman and a Japanese are
