NEW ORLEANS, Feb. Liverpool
came in strong today with futures about
points higher. Spots points higher;
sales 5000 bales. Higher futures as usual
bring more spot demand and so the bull
ish machinery seems pretty well in mo-
tion again Consols declined further to
745s. Spot interests in New York were
persistent buyers of contracts there yes
terday, feeling certain of their ground
after the grade revision.
First trades here were at an advance of
about points Selling was inundated
market. and the disposition of scattered
shorts to cover provided a little buying
which caused an advance to 1858 for
July, but trading was light and without
enthusiasm
Weather conditions continue very ia
vorable. Spots today are &c higher to
buy on the advance in futures. Demand
small and scattered but offerings equally
light.

WAYS OF SERVING LETTUCE
Vegetable May Re Utilized

There are so many ways of cook.

pear on the table every day in two
forms, once as salad, once as a
cooked vegetable. One rather un-
usual way makes use Of sort of let
tuce which any amateur grower some
times raises, much to his despair and
regret This Is lettuce that has gone
to seed. Let it grow eighteen inches
tall, strip the stalk of all leaves and
cut the stalk in inch pieces. Boil
these until they are tender and serve
them with well seasoned cream
sauce. Lettuce served in this way Is
truly delicious.
Lettuce boiled like any other
green and served, chopped, with but
ter, pepper and salt Is also very
good. 1t should be tender and fresh
before it Is cooked if it is to be ten
der and delicious when it is served.
Lettuce cooked like a green in the
following way is worth trying. Boil
it in salted water until it is very ten
der. Then drain it in a colander and
chop 1t fine Measure tablespoon
full of butter and half as much -four
for each quart of the green and blend
them in a frying pan, adding the
lettuce when the butter and flour are
smooth After four or five minutes
stirring add salt, pepper and quar-
ter of a cupful of cream. Stir until
the cream is hot and serve.

ECONOMY IN THE HOME
HOUSEWIFE MUST APPROACH
IDEA WITH COMMON SENSE.
Many Methods of Avoiding Waste
Really Are More Costly Than the
Ways They SuppIant-Saving
Must Be Worth While.

There is a great deal of talk about
the waste which constantly occurs in
the household. Housewives, some
critics assert, do not understand the
fundamental principles of economy.
Waste which would never be toler-
ated in the running of big business
goes on in the homes of the land
every day.
In a big rubber factory little while
ago there was a chemist who thought
that he could obtain sulphur, which Is
needed in the manufacturing carried
on in this plant, from old rubber. The
sulphur used cost a few cents a
pound. The chemist finally perfected
a method Of extracting sulphur from
the old rubber, and he submitted his
method to the factory heads.
1t was a perfect method. The sui
phur was perfect sulphur. But the
method necessitated the expenditure
of sulphur saved. And the factory
heads, remembering that sulphur cost
only few cents a pound, refused to
consider the young mans plan.
1t is just this sort of wasteful econ
omy which goes on in some house
holds-and which should be con-
demned much more energetically than
the actual waste that occurs.
A certain housewife heard that
dried potato parings made excellent
kindling for fires, and she spent an
appreciable amount of time each day
rescuing the skins from oblivion and
spreading them out SO that they
could dry properly.
The woman who knows how to dis
tinguish between real wastefulness
and expenditures for legitimate needs
is the really good housewife.

One woman has converted a hall
room into the daintiest of tiny IL
braries. On one side is a set of
shelves for books. The walls are
covered with blue damask of very
delicate shade. The ceiling is blue,
with a conventional pattern of white
trailing vines dropping gracefully
down to half-length. The rug is delft
blue. and the room contains one chair
upholstered in delft-blue brocade. A
small mahogany table holds a tele-
phone and blue and brass writing
outfit. A small lamp hangs from the
center of the ceiling, and 1t has blue
and rose glass shade with crystal pen
dants. When lighted, it throws a
beautiful glow over the little reading

To Remove MiIdew,

Take one teaspoonful of chloride Of
lime and one teaspoonful of washing
soda. Put this and the mildewed ar
ticle into two quarts of cold water and
let it boil for about four hours; then
skim off the scum, add two pailfuls of
cold water and let it stand over night,
with the article we'll covered. II this
is not long enough, put the article
back again and soak it until the mil
dew entirely disappears; then rinse
we'll and wash in the usual way BE
sure to take off the scum, for that is
what burns the material in so many
of the recipes given.

BriQht Buttons.

Buttons come in solid colors, in bril-
liant reds, blues, vivid greens and yel-
lows. with novelty tones such as terra
Gotta, flame and reds of the Pompeiian
order. The tones are sometimes soft
ened by a tracing Of dull gold in Chi
nese or Japanese characters. This
tracing is sometimes In black, The re-
suit is so good as to indicate a great
vogue for these buttons.
Galalith copies of the striped china
buttons which have been so fashion
able this summer are being brought
out for fall, and have already been
heavily ordered.
A continuation of the vogue of the
button in one color, showing circles in
a bright shade, may be expected.
