HOT WEATHER DRINKS.

During the hot weather there Is
great demand for cooling drinks, and
we prefer those made at home with
materials which are unquestionable
rather than many which are served IN
bottles or at the fountains. In the fol-
lowing, there surely will be found one
which will suit the palate of all;
Ginger Water.--This is tn old-fash.
toned drink which used to be carried
to the fields to refresh the tillers of
the soil who have made our country
what it is today. This drink is just
as popular today among the descend
ants of the early fathers of our coun'
try, and is so easily prepared that il
should be more frequently used. Take
a tablespoonful of ground ginger, add
three of sugar and a pint of ice cold
water. stir well and serve. In the
olden times they sweetened this with
molasses
Rhubarb Drink.-This is a very re,
freshing as well as wholesome drink
for children. Boil seven or eight
stalks Of pie plant in a quart of water
for ten minutes; strain into a pitcher
in which Has been placed the thin rinC
of lemon. Add four tablespoonfuls oil
sugar and let stand for a few hours
before serving.
Orangeade.-Make a strip by boil
ing half pound of lump sugar witt
a cup Of water. Pare four oranges
very thinly, put the rinds in a pitch

Let stand until cold. then add The
Juice of the oranges and six lemons
Add a quart of ice cold water, ant

Boston Cream.-This is a drinl
which will keep, and will be ready t.
use in an emergency: Take twt
pounds Of lump sugar and five pint
OF water; boil together fifteen min
utes. When cool add half an ounce o
lemon extract. two ounces of powdere
tartaTic acid and the whites of tire

TO SERVE UNEXPECTED GUEST
Simple Refreshments That May EaS
|, lily Be Got Ready When Casual
Visitors "Drop In"

The simple refreshments herewith
suggested make a good little supper
when entertaining few friends In the
evening. The bill of fare is very brief,
being nothing more than peanut sand
witches, salmon cups and coffee.
The plates may be artisticaily ar
ranged by placing the salmon cup on
a lettuce or nasturtium leaf. Pickles
should be cut in four pieces, but left
intact at the stem end. The sand
witches and the cup Of coffee can be
placed in the remaining space on the
plate. A fork and spoon are the only
necessary pieces of silver. A small
service tray with jug and glasses
would provide the water for the en-.
tire assembly.
Recipe for Peanut Butter--0ne-half
pound Of shelled roasted peanuts.
ground with the finest burr on the
meat chopper. (Place only few nuts
at time in the chopper, as they clog
badly and stop the machine) Add
three tablespoons of butter or two
tablespoons OF cream, one teaspoon or
sugar, and salt to taste, If cream is
used. Mix thoroughly with a silver
knife and spread on buttered slices of
bread. A lettuce leaf may be added.
Recipe for Salmon Cups-Prepare
potatoes as for MASKING, being sure
that they are beaten fluffy and light.
Cream or milk should be added gradu-
ally while beaten. Form into cups or
cone-shaped mounds and place In
warming oven. Have ready one can
of salmon, boned and faxed. Add to
this one-half cup Of white sauce, made
by Dreaming together one tablespoon
of butter, one of -four, one-half cup OF

Holmes, hopping on the other foot

you shopping here?"
The lady looked surprised, but not
by any means annoyed, ...
Certainly" she replied. But what
else should be doing?"
For a moment the salesman hest

well, madam, thought perhaps
you might be taking an inventory.
Then the lady melted away among
the shadows by the door.
