Too Many Apt TO Bring Cake.

One of the faults have noticed at a good
many picnics have attended is a prepon-
derance OF sweets. Especially at a basket
picnic there is a tendency to bring cake
sooner than anything else. When you give
the picnic yourself and select all the food
you can balance IL more wisely. but If a
number of people join. and each brings
something it should be positively decided
beforehand what every one is TO contribute.
There is as mich field for choice in the line
Of substantiaIs as there is in the direction
Of sweet stun. and the former cost no more
in money or labor than the latter. The
real need is for forethought and ingenuity.
Consider for q moment the things you
can take to the picnic. Sandwiches. Of
course. and these are the most convenient
form in which 10 carry bread and any
Bavory accompaniment. When one thinks
Of the infinite variety Of sandwiches. it
seems as though there were no need for
anything beyond these. Yet one may make
other dainties no less acceptable.

candied oranges but I am not cure how this
wsuld do for commercial purposes. You
know that something Is put in the candy of
commerce which prevents its drying and
hardening as home made candy often does.
1t is one Of the secrets OF the trade and Is
not in my possession. Can some one help
out this correspondent and give her the in

use OF the grapefruit where it grows Pend
ing this, am glad to offer my own recipe
for such candy for family use.
CANDIED oRANGEs-Make a sirup Of
two cups Of sugar and a gill of water, boil
ing them in a clean enamel or porcelain
lined saucepan without stirring until a lit
tie dropped into iced water becomes brittle.
Take the saucepan from the fire, set it at
once in a pan Of boiling water. add the
juice Of a quarter OF lemon to the sirup.
Dip sections Of orange into this sirup, hold
ing each piece in a pair Of candy tongs;
take out Immediately and lay on waxed or
oiled paper to dry. The work must be done
quickly, as the sugar hardens very soon.
and in this case the boiling water in the
outer vessel must be renewed in order to

buy a soft brlstled tooth brush which
should be kept for this purpose. as its shape
and size are most suitable Then fill two
cups with gasoline, one for rinsing Place
a folded bath towel over the corner Of a
table or board. and on this the yoke or
section of it which seems to fit. Dipping
the brush into the gasoline. carefully scrub
the yoke: the treatment will not injure any
buttons or colored trimmings. Go over the

is cleaned After you have been all over
It repeat the operation with the gasoline in
the second cup, laying the yoke over a clean
section Of the towel. Repeat the process
with the cuffs. When you have finished
hang the gown in the sun and air and do
the same with the towel before sending it
to the laundry. You will find the yoke as
clean as new. Going over the yoke in this
way before it is really soiled is better than
waiting until it is very dirty. Both gaso-
line and dirt go from the yoke down into

for such delicate work hope this process
will be found satisfactory.
