A Bed and Trunk

There is new sort of trunk on the
market. or perhaps it should be called
a new kind of bed. 1t Is both. From
the outside 1t looks like an ordinary
trunk of good SIZE.
When you travel you fill the trunk
with clothes-and 1t will hold about
as many as the ordinary trunk, and
start forth. When you stop for the
night, you open your trunk, removs
the springs and cushion, arrange the
springs on the open trunk, put the
cushion on them and go to bed A
simple operation this.

A WAY TO MAKE YOUR
OWN "OIL PAINTINGS

Many of the pretty prints which now
come with newspapers and as covers
on magazines can be made to look like
oil paintings by being treated in the
following manner:
Mix together one ounce of Canada
balsam and two ounces of spirits of
turpentine.
The print or drawing must first be
sized with a solution of ising'ass in
Ice water.
When this is dry take a camel's hair
brush and apply the composition and
the result will be astonishing.

AT a Dance

Dear Margery Doom:
Kindly advise me the proper
course to pursue in making up the
dance order when going to a full
dress dance. Does the gentleman
ask his friends to exchange dances
with him? FULL DRESS.
Sometimes dance orders are filled
out by the host or hostess, who
gives them to guests upon their ar
rival. This is only done in the case
of small dances, however. Usually
a girls escort will take her order
and see that 1t is filled. exchanging
dances with his friends. 1t is his
duty to see that her partners arc
introduced to her.

Two Things to Remember

Squeeze a few drops of lemon In
the water in which potatoes are

they win not turn black.
If soda is mixed with flour in maxi

as IS the usual way, they will be
lighter.

Here is q new way to whip cream,
which is practical and novel, too
You put the cream in a good
sized bowl. whisk it we'll for a few
minutes, until a froth forms.
Remove this, and place on a piece
of muslin which has been arranged
over a fine sieve over another bowl.
Whip the cream again, and con-
tinue to skim the froth as 1t forms
until all of the cream has been
beaten.
Then set the whip aside for sew
eral hours, or until the next day, IL
convenient. BY that time the froth
will have become solid, though it
will retain It's lightness, and the
cream which has drained into the
bowl underneath may be used for
making custard.
What do you think OF it, readers?
Worth trying, isn't it9
Give your thanks to May g. D.,
who sent the method to me. She
saws that by whipping cream as she
describes you get twice as much.
Of course you add little pulverized
sugar and a drop or two of vanilla
If you like.
