Bon Voyage Gifts


If ones friend is an experienced
sailor one of the special steamer cake
boxes will make an acceptable bon
voyage gift. These boxes are fitted
with lock and key. and may be used
afterward for the safe keeping of
personal belongings. Inside are little
trays and drawers, each filled with
appetizing sweet and spiced cakes.
Afternoon tea on board the steamer
is a great institution, and the woman
who can dispense hospitality in the
way of delicious little cakes is sure
to be popular. Preserved ginger in
the small blue jars in which it is put
up is another thoughtful bon voyage
remembrance, for there are times
when at the thought of anything ex-
cept preserved ginger and lemon the
very soul sickens.
A steamer rug is a substantial and
handsome gift. and a rug. pillows and
rubber-lined case in which these be-
longings may be packed is gift that
any traveller will be overjoyed to re-
ceive.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
Conducted by Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk

Who would care for Sunday or
Monday, or any day, for that matter,
unless we had unexpected company
drop in" occasionally? The only
uncomfortableness which ever should
be felt by the hostess is when she is
not prepared with enough in her
larder to serve these extra guests
for luncheon or supper. ID
If meals are planned in advance.
do not make any changes for the aln-
expected guest. There is nothing
which adds more to the discomfort
than this extra work. idea of hos
pitality. To have the guest most
comfortable and perfectly welcome,
ali that is necessary is to put on the
extra plate. and add little more in
quantity, IL ample time is given for
it. If not, then the emergency shelf,
which should always contain reserve
food such as canned soup, vegeta-
bles, noodles, waters of several
kinds, canned salmon, lobster, tuna
fish, crab meat, deviled ham and
chicken, olives or pickles, cocoa, cof-
fee, tea, and in the refrigerator
grape, lime or pineapple juice or
ginger ale.
With some or all of these things
and plenty of good seasonings a
soup can be quickly made or an
extra dish prepared which will help
stretch out the meal
If there is to be freedom and
pleasure for the mistress of the
home, during the coming hot days,
then she must use her brain very
freely in planning at least three
meals in advance every day.
Breakfast.
Cereal with figs and cream
Eggs au gratin
Rolls Cocoa Coffee
Any prepared cereal may, be used,
but, if oats or cracked wheat, it
should have most of the cooking the
night before, either in double
boiler on the stove or in a fireless
cooker, and whole washed figs may
be cut up in this cereal and served
with cream, but no sugar, as the
figs supply the necessary sweets.
Eggs Au Gratin.
Butter a shallow brown baking
dish and break into it an egg or
more for each person to be served.
Turn in enough cream to well cover
the bottom of the dish; sprinkle the
eggs with salt. paprika and grated
cheese. Set in pan of hot water
in moderate oven until the whites
of the eggs are just set. Have the
rolls heating at the same time.
Luncheon.
Cold sliced or jellied veal
Whole wheat bread and butter
Orange and rhubarb nlarmalade
Tea cakes
q Milk or grape juice
N The meat is from Saturdays din
ner, and plenty was purchased to
allow for sundays luncheon. This
may be roast or knuckle of veal
seasoned very highly and cut in
small pieces and allowed to cool and
jelly in its own liquid, in which IL
was cooled.

Materials-Oranges six; rhubarb,

You would secure better results by
washing it before the application of
the heavy braid. should think, but
am afraid if you try it the design for
the heavy braid will be washed out.
You know it comes out easily. So
think you will have to finish the en-

a couple of Turkish towels, while
damp, in order to make the pattern

window. ] have done this with one

FOR THE KITCHEN NOTE BOOK

Chopped English walnuts add an
interesting flavor TO vanilla ice
cream.
All vegetables should be put to cook
in boiling water. We read every now
and then, in supposedly reliable pa
pers, that vegetables put to cook in
boiling water will, become tasteless.
Tastes differ, but principles should be
followed in even the cooking of vege-
tables. Some people may like wet,
soggy, potatoes; but that does not
make them wholesome.
When baking beans, use few small
brown mustard cups for portion,
with a bit of pork on top. Such a
dish makes pleasing change for the
lunch basket.
Raisins cut in halves make nice
addition to a fruit salad.

Tight shoes may be stretched by
filling them half full of oats, damp
ened with water. Plug the top of the
shoes. with paper, the dampness will
soften the leather and swell the
oats, stretching the shoes. Lot the
oats remain until thoroughly dry.
