BEAD BORDER A DECORATION
No Prettier Method of Adjournment for
Pillows That Are to Be Used
on the Porch.

An unusual but pretty way to decor
ate stand covers and pillows for porch
use is by means Of a bead border. The
stand covers as well as the pillows are
made of heavy canvas or monks
cloth The beads are sewed In place
to form border, following some SIM
pie set design. 1t is best to mark par
allel lines on the goods so that the
border will be straight. The beads
are then sewed in short rows at right
angles to the parallel lines. Green
and white beads are a combination
usually seen, as they give fresh,
clean appearance in keeping with their
use for outdoor decoration
The bead border makes the stand
covers heavy and in this they are
weighted so that they cannot blow
from the table. Either very narrow
border or design across the corners
is all that should be used on the pill
lows.

FAMOUS OLD SOUTHERN CAKE
Known as Lady Baltimore, Its Ad.
nnirers Claim That Its Superior
Cannot Be Produced.

Here is the one grand South Caro-
lima recipe for this cake, which has
been a favorite in all southern dining
rooms for over a century:
Two-thirds of a cup of butter, five
eggs, two cups of sugar, four cups OF
flour, one-half cup of rich milk. two
level teaspoons of cream of tartar and
one level teaspoon of saleratus (bak-
ing soda); cream the butter with half
the sugar, beat the remaining half of
the sugar into the yolks of the eggs.
and sift the cream of tartar and the.
soda (twice) through the flour; beat
the eggs and the sugar together with
the butter and sugar, add the milk
Slowly and finally beat in the -four
and the stiff1y beaten whites OF the
eggs; flavor half of this mixture with
rose, and into the other half beat one
teaspoon of powdered cinnamon, one
teaspoon powdered cloves and one
grated nutmeg and flavor with vanil-
la, lemon or almond; bake in four lay
er cake pans, two white layers and
two spiced layers.
For the Filling-Cut one cup Of
seeded raisins, spread thin half cit
ron melon, crate small cocoanut
and blanch three-fourths pound of al
monds. Make the ordinary boiled icing
and into it beat all these ingredients
except the almonds Put the mixture
Tricky between the layers and finish
the top layer, which should be white
one, with sprinkled powdered sugar
and the almonds stuck in porcupine
fashion The measuring cup is an or
binary coffee cup and is filled just
level. This recipe is always successful
when accurately followed.

In other summers women wore lace

on WASHING pav.

A little soap shredded into the boiler
on washing day makes the clothes q
good color, and if you put a small
piece into the starch it will make the
ironing easier and 1t imparts a lovely
gloss to the clothes. All the little bits
of soap that are left over should be put
into a jar with little water. Place
the jar in a moderate oven and leave
until the soap has dissolved. This is
excellent for washing flannels and
wooden things.
