HOwtOMdie Cottage Cheese

A LMOST every OLD hnusckeeper
knows how To make cottage cheese.
but there are young cooks who may
not be familiar with the very easy
process. so tor their benefit the fol-
low ng formula is printed:
When making the cheese there are
two points TO be remembered. The
sour milk. or "clabber." should never
be allowed TO reach boiling point in
separating the curd from the whey,
and care in draining the curd is
equally important
When the sour milk first forms a
smooth "Clahhrr' and before IL has had
time to sep'JAte Is the best time FOR
starting the cheese. SGT the pan or
the stove and let it come to scald.

To wash muslin curtains so that they

garland of pink sweet peas and their
leaves and tendrils. The handle is Of
enameled white wood. long. in the pre-
vailing style. and near the end of the
stick is a bunch of handmade sweet
peas.
The hat that accompanies the para
sol is fat shape in shepherdess style,
with the place where crown ought TO
be filled in with sweet peas. These
shepherdess hats are tilted on deep
bandeau at the back. which in this in
stance is filed in with a big chou of
white silk ribbon hand painted with
the sweet pea blossoms. Long stream
ers of the ribbon hang TO the waist line.
The slippers are OF the white silk with
miniature bunch of the sweet peas
on the toe.
Here's a hint the bride must pay no
attention to. The suggestion is in

is. If she is searching for a small gift
for the bride elect. This particularly
| appealing present is a heart shaped
scent bag. These bags are fashioned
from white silk marquisette and are
filed with dried roses. violets or Law
ender and are perfumed with the nat
ural odor of the flower. The dried
flowers in their pretty colorings can be
seen clearly through the sheer mar
quisette cases. and their fragrance
gives delightful odor to the contents
of bureau drawers. trunks. closets, etc
The rose and the violet bags are. per-
haps. the most appropriate for waists
and lingerie. and the lavender for
linen. A set OF three of these bags
would be a charming gift.

ment II was announced o-day that all diplo-
mats in the service of the United States had

twelve-inch gun broadside OF the super

person or persons who stole these important
plans than they did the day OF the dis
covery OF their disappearance
II is admitted that the plans could be OF
no possible value 10 any other than a
foreign government. although II is pointed
out that such a government need not neces-
sariiy be In any controversy with the United
States at the present time. But the point is
made that Il would have been next TO inn

TO know the exact spot In which to find the

government Interested. 1t Is declared at tho
department. however. that no one Is under
