Breakfast and Bread.

Bread is the most important thing at

breads appreciated. There are many
sorts of mullins that can he made in the
morning. but there arc a few sorts of hot
breakfast breads made from sponge set

should bake.
Sometimes the kitchen at night is cool
and the bread dough is not light enough
to bake for breakfast. The bread can he
set by the furnace if that is in warm
room. A hot-Watcr bag can be put by
the side OF the pan holding the dough or
under 1t. This should be we'll wrapped
up with flannel. The hot-water bag keeps
the bread just warm enough on cold
nights OF course, the water put in the
bag must be boiling hot. There is no
danger of bursting If boiling water Is put

the bag by filling it with warm water
and emptying it. Then half fill it with
boiling water. Hold the bag in thick

together. keeping them in place by stick

an inch or so from the tear. Then the
plaster is moistened and applied, smooth
ing until the plaster is well pressed into
the cloth. Lastly. press with warm
iron, using a thin cloth between. and the
tear Will be invisible. This method APP
pies chiefly to womcn's garments.
10 mend such a tear in a mans suit
Il piece OF cloth should be basted under
meath. and then with needle and fine
thread the edges are drawn together. You
start about half an inch from the tear
and push the needle through the cloth

until half an inch beyond the other torn
edge In returning the needle is put into
the same hole it came out of, but takes
slightly Slanting direction each time
it goes back and forth If done correctly
the thread will not show at all. except

When dampened and pressed even these
stitches will probably disappear. A bit
of mending tissue should be applied to
the back of the mended tear when the
cloth is rather worn, for Strengthening
purposes. 1t goes without saying that
rawlings of the goods are best for darn
ing. but the next best is fine cotton
To mend moth holes place a piece ot

Bad tears in boys clothing can be neat

You basic a piece of both under the
hole. and then, using very fine cotton,
you cross it back and forth. making the
rows quite close together. After a good
pressing the tear will be scarcely visible
When mending chiidren's stockings it
will make them stronger if a piece of
coarse net is first basted over the hole

When the hole is large the edges should
be drawn together by running a thread
all around the hole. This must not be
drawn SO tight as to pucker.
