An authority on culinary matters
says tEnt in making good coffee great
deal depends on the kind of coffee that
is used. The price is not always to be
depended on in selecting it. Some
times better results may be obtained
with moderately priced coffee than
with an expensive kind. The best plan
is to experiment until you find kind
that is satisfactory and then stick to
that and to the dealer who supplies It.
The quality of coffee is often intlu-
enced by the way it is kept in the
shop; also sometimes when out of one
grade an unreliable grocer will sub
stitute another and cheaper quality.
In the buying of coffee much depends
on the good faith of the dealer.
a correspondent claims that she
makes splendid coffee for breakfast in
the following way: She uses Il scant ia
blespOOnful of coffee to Il cup of water
for each person She puts it in the
coffee pot with cold water in the even
ing before going to bed. In the morn
ing she let's it boil for ten minutes,
then sets it back on the stove and let's
it simmer for another ten or fifteen
minutes. In this way she extracts all
the strength there Is in the coffee.

New
Spring
Garments

are here for they have burst into full
bloom almost in a night and the colors
are so vivid and radiant that your
eyes will be dazzled almost when
you first behold them. A great many
conservative" folks have decided
that everything is too gay for them
this season and have decided to wear
their old clothes awhile longer, but
from the way their friends are snap
ping up the new garments almost be
fore they are unpacked, we think the
ones wearing the old clothes will soon
be the most conspicuous.
NEW SKIRTS are very full at the
hips and those made from plaid ma
terials are selling best. OF course
there are lots of the palmer ones sold
too, but everyone seems to want a
plaid skirt at once.
NEW SUITS have exceedingly short
the skirt to get the desired effect In
these fancy skirts with jackets OF
plain materials seem to have the call.
New Coats Are All Short
The shorter they are the better they
sell and bright colors are certainly
seen in all their glory in the coat
section. Sleeves are mostly of the
mandarin cut and the newest coats
are very full around the hips. We
show good line of staple styles too
but so far the Give ones" are the ex-
IRENE new models.

ARRANGING FLOWERS.

How to Keep Them Best When They
Are Costly.
In the winter. when flowers are cost
~ and rare, it is wise to learn how
to make the best IF them. When ar
ranging them never put too many
blooms in any one jar or vase Flow
ers are seen 10 far greater advantage
if loosely and simply arranged and
they last much longer. too. because
they get more air and water.
\ very good plan is to fill bowl
with water and to throw into it a
number of ordinary bottle curks. These.
you see. will buoy zip your flowers and
keep them in position without showing
ut all.
Another good scheme is to stretch a
piece of very coarse mosquito netting
over an ordinary round embroidery
frame and set it over Il soup plate or
bowl filed with water. The stems of
short flowers are then thrust through
the net. which prevents the flowers
from slipping.
Slender. clear glass specimen vases.
which hold only two or three blooms:
show off roses and carnations to the
very best advantage. but they are apt
to be top heavy and upset if placed in
strong draft. YOn will find. though.
that Il little lead shot placed in the
bottom Of such glasses will make them
as stable as rock.
Change the water in the vases every
day. and if you will take the trouble
to snip Il tiny piece off the end Of each
stalk just as often. holding the end of
the stalks under the water while you
do so. you'll find your flowers will
keep fresh much longer. This pre-
vents air getting up into the little
stem tubes. thus hindering the flowers
from drawing up rs mich moisture as
they require
See that 10 leaves are left on the
stalks inside the Ease either If they

Cookery
Notes
Careful Marketing.

Careful Marketing.
The art of marketing properly Is one
which requires considerable study and
skill. and the exact needs Of the house
hold should be ascertained to a nicely.
There is no need to buy four behring's
when three are ample, neither is it
wise to buy perishable goods in large
quantities.
Where one person has to plan the
entire work Of the household special
care must be devoted to the marketing
to allow sufficient time for the cook
ing and leave the mistress Of the house
leisure to attend to domestic matters.
A list Of the various meat. fish. veg
etables. etc. which are in season each
month should be kept handy. and when
the housewife takes her walks abroad
to do the required amount of shopping
she will know exactly what can be
found in the shops and by careful ex-
perience note where the best quality
Of goods can be obtained for the small
est possible expenditure.
Food Of poor quality Is never eco
nomical Doubtful eggs are a most
unsatisfactory Investment. Far better
pay a little more for reliable article
than make an unwise purchase. This
same remark applies to fish. meat and
vegetables.
All goods which deteriorate quickly
should be renewed daily. Butter should

chasing should he removed from the

able proof being that if the egg ap-
