Recipe and a Useful Hint.

GOOD CHOCOLATE ICING-One cup

dered chocolate-more if you like it dark
and less If you like 1t highland boiling
water to make the icing the right consist

would be enough for this quantity Of sugar
Have you ever tried taking the lid of
spice can to get clean those kettles that
things will stick to? Two tablespoonfuls of
lye in a good cup of water will take out
anything that has been burned on in a
kettle and leave no stain after it has been
secured well with some good preparation
made for that purpose. Boil the lye and
water in the kettle for about ten minutes
before you scour the kettle. l hope these
hints may be Of use to some one.

WHAT DOES SUNDAY MEAN IN YOUR HOME.

J HAT do you make Sunday mean
l 4 ! for your householder If put the
Wv question in this form, It is because
I firmly believe that the way in
which Sunday is regarded in any
family is due TO the woman at the head of
it, I don't mean that the husband and
father does not have a great influence in
determining the character of the day; but
after all it is up to you" in the slang
of the times. to decide how Sunday shall
be kept. Is it day of rest and glad
ness or is it one of dullness and depres-
sion; or is it just like the other days Of
the week, except that the men of the house
are at home instead of at work. and that
every one eats too much?
Something is wrong with the manage
ment of your household if the work on
Sunday is as heavy as it is the remainder Of
the week. l say this knowing the while
that in many homes the labor is greaaer
then than on other days If this is true of
your establishment. set yourself to reform
conditions at once
But" you say, can't make change
On Sunday the family counts on a good
meal, and l have to get it. 1 don't even
have time to go to church. because there is
SO much to do in the line of cooking"
Other plants of that sort have come my
way before. but they do not alter my stand.
Plan your work so that it will not burden
you on Sunday. You have surely as good
a right to a little repose as the man serv-
ant, or the maid servant, or the cattle of
the seventh commandment. Putting aside
all considerations of a religious nature you
owe it to yourself ahd to those to whom
you important to take your share of
cessation from strenuous effort on the Sab
bath day.

Planning 10 Study Lam.
In obedience to a burning desire to
study law. l have made arrangements with
one of the leading schools of the city for
my instruction, but, owing to my small
salary as a stenographer and the depend
ence upon me of my aged parents, l cannot
possibly purchase all of the expensive
books which are necessary. l wonder If
some of your kind readers or their friends
have any second hand law books which
they would be willing to loan an eager
and earnest student, who will accord them
the best of care and return to the donors
when they have served my purpose In
classes. Anything offered will be accept
able, and I shall gladly call at any address
for them. If you desire to confirm my cir
cumstances as outlined above l shall be
glad to place you in touch with my present
employers upon receipt of advice from
you" J. e. b.
To my mind there is little doubt that this
letter will meet a prompt and satisfactory
response. While law books are expensive,
there must be kind hearted lawyers who are

cannot help feeling that she will make a
mistake If she always conceals from her

of discovery and the shock then would be

Plan Oh Saturday.

Think about it a little. You have a late
breakfast on Sunday morning, probably,
and heavier than on the week days Make
your arrangements so that the additions to
the bill of fare may not bring an added
burden on your hands. Plan items for this
and for your dinner which can be prepared
on Saturday. Set your raised biscuit, or
your mullins, or your Sally Lunn, or other
hot bread to rise the night before. so that
all you have to do with it the next morning
is to pop it into the oven; or If you can bake
your rolls or buns the preceding day and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-30

the labor should be planned and divided
so as to ease it as much as possible.

way no one will feel it an imposition. Try,
too, to have your breakfast at reasonable
hour, SO that there may not be too much
