Two and one-half cupfuls Of milk. two
tablespoonful of almonds, yolk OF one
egg. one heapins tablespoon Of chocolate

little. Divide into four portions. Put
one portion in the wet mold. set aside
until firm; add a few drops of red color
ing to the second. pour It over the first

egg into the third portion and allow
1t to get firm. Add the grated chocolate

on plates before serving. 1t is delicious
when served with whipped cream or
crushed fruit.
Care should be taken to see that the
gelatin when poured in the mold is Just
ready to set. as the heat from one layer
will melt the other. II the gelatin that
has not been nodded becomes stiff II
should be heated gently until 1t reaches

DEEP BREATHING.

The easiest. but also the most impor-
tant, OF all health exercises is deep
breathing. which ought to be practiced
by every one, for it has wonderful ef-
feet on the respiratory and digestive or
gans. and therefore on the whole ply
sique.
Stand erect, in an easy attitude. the
feet firmly planted little apart, head up,
lips closed, arms hanging loosely at the
sides. Draw the breath in steadily
through the nostrils till the lungs are
fully inflated, and at the same time slow
~ raise the arms till they are extended
straight above your head by the time
the inhalation is complete. Remain so
for three seconds then exhale as slowly
and steadily. lowering the arms to the
original position.
When deep-breathing exercise is first
started five inEalations in succession are
sufficient, increasing the number daily
and by degrees, till a hundred inhalations
may be made without any sensation OF
discomfort. The exhalations may be
through the mouth. as this strengthens
the vocal chords, but the inhalations al
ways through the nostrils: and the eXer-
else should be done before an open win
dow or out of doors il possible-on a bal
cony peThaps-never in a close room.

FIRST PROBLEM FOR ALL BRIDES

When a young woman sets her feet
upon the dazzling and adventurous road
Of matrimony. does she realize the num-
Der Of problems that are before her? The
very first one. perhaps, is the furnishing
and decorating Of her home, and II re-
quires as much time and thought as does
a problem in Euclid.
The first thing to be considered after
the woodwork has been decided upon is
the wallpaper. A plain, one-tOne paper
is in good taste, and is an excellent back
ground for pictures. Select the warm col
ors for the north rooms and the cooler
colors for the south rooms
II you have chosen a plain wallpaper,
figured curtains and draperies are very
artistic. but II you have chosen a figured
paper. plain curtains and draperies are
better.
In choosing rugs, care should be taken
not to select one with a bold design, as
rugs also are merely backgrounds for
your furniture.
The nving-room should have the best
and most interesting pictures, as this Is
the room where the family spends most
Of its time. The dining-room seldom has
any pictures. and only a few should be
used in the bedrooms
Last of all, in arranging your furniture
be sure to have harmony OF line.

NEEDLEWORK.

Some housekeepers object TO the but
tonholed scallop on embroidery because
II trays in washing. This can be over
come in several ways. The surest is TO
buttonhole a second time over the puzzled
edge. when the scallop has been worked
and cut out.
Another method is to run the outline
Of the scallop with machine stitching be-
fore buttonholing. or in cutting leave a
narrow margin and turn back under the
sCallop and hem to the material.
II these are too much trouble, at least
wash the linen before cutting out. The
material shrinks and is much less likely
TO fray. Where the entire piece is not
washed, the embroidery edge can be
dipped in lukewarm water a few min
utes. then ironed dry and later cut out
close to the purled edge.
Often ugly rents will come in some
conspicuous place in an otherwise per-
fectly good garment. Try using gum
tissue. Bring the edges as close together
as possible and press a small piece of
the tissue under the darn. lying on
hot iron for five minutes.
In other ways II is valuable TO the
home dressmaker. Try. when facing
jacket. a strip OF this between the cloth
and the facing. then press with a very
garment and is not at all hard to do.
1t can also be used when thin pieces
begin to appear in any part Of a gar
ment, giving 1t a new lease of life.
To work durable button-hole in heavy
material. such as linen. duck or madras.
mark with a thread the place and size
with a row Of machine stitching on both
sides as close as possible, then cut with
pair of sharp scissors and work in the
usual way.
Not only does this help in wearing but
is very much easier to work and does
not need fine stitches. In sewing on but
tons in goods that have a great deal
of wear. try sewing them on by placing
a toothpick under the button and then
sewing in the usual way, being careful
to fasten the ends firmly.
If you want the button loose as you
may in blouse, try taking a double
thread, very coarse, twisting It and sew
ing once through the button.

good one. especially when the ounces
are tough.
Ounce Honey.
In certain parts Of Pennsylvania the
housewives made a delicious ounce
product known as ounce honey. which
they use as a second spread" a filling
for tarts or for layer cakes. To make
this select good firm ounces and rub the
skins thoroughly. Now CRATE the fruit
without pairing. To every three large
ounces measure out one pound of granu-
lated sugar and one quart of water into
porcelain kettle and let it come to a
boil ACd the grated ounce pulp and
boil twenty minutes after il has come to
the boiling point. Stir constantly, taking
care that II does not stick to the bottom
Of the kettle. Put in jars or bottles as
you would lam. and the ounce honey is
ready for use.
Baked Ounces.
To make baked ounces that are not
tough wash and core as you would ap-
pies to be baked and put them in a pan,
filling the center OF each ounce with
graduated sugar, and a little cinnamon.
Add a little water TO the bottom of the
pan, and cover the ounces so that they

CLEANING CUTLERY.

Caring for the knives-When knives are
put away. enough being kept out for
everyday use, the blade of each one
should be rubbed thoroughly and care
fully with olive oil. Then wrap the
knives, each one separately. in paper and
store them in as dry a place as possible.
Every three months they should be taken
out and looked at to see IL there be any
signs Of rust. Put fresh oil on them be-
fore putting them away again. and when
they are required for use wash the oil
on and rub each knife with knife polish.
To clean rusty knives-Use powdered
bath brick made into a paste with paraf-
fin and apply II with a flannel Finish of
with dry bath brick and a soft rag, which
will leave a splendid polish.
To remove loose knife blades-Immerse
the handles in boiling water until heated
through; then pull handle and blade
apart.
To attach knife handles-Fill the ham
dies with equal parts of powdered resin
and silver sand. Heat the knife tang,
press firmly into the handle and cool in
water.

fervently.
Charlotte stared at him. What do
you mean. dad?"
Just get me the old album. that's a
good girl" SAP her father by way of
answering.
Charlotte got up and went to the top
shelf OF the book case. The album was
a funny old-fashioned thing, full of
quaint photographs that Charlotte had
not looked at for a long time. When
she laid the book down on her father s
knees it opened OF itself to a certain
page.

her father grinning. Lord. I haven't

Charlotte was looking disdainfully at
the woman in the picture. To her the

curls, and surrounded by a little bon
net with a dropping feather was alb

frilled, in her eyes were like clumsy up

Dad cried Charlotte protestingly.
Her father grinned and turned the
of her mother, though she had hardly
seen it since she was a child. The gown
was old fashioned, but had the dignity
of being plain; the hair was drawn into
a chignon and its beauty and abundance
were natural. and there was no covering
to hide it. Charlotte suddenly saw a
loneliness in the old picture that had
never so appealed to her before. She
though:
How could we have left It in that

Well, what do you think Of it," said
her father.

MAKING THE PORCH
MORE ATTRACTIVE

Everybody likes a pretty and attractive
porch, and it cannot be unless the flow
ers are kept in a good condition. Potted
plants will thrive better under these con-
ditions. Put them out in the yard at sun
down and leave them there until the next
morning. The dew and early sunshine
are beneficial to their growth.
A new idea is to have a shelf inside the
porch rail about one foot wide and one
foot from the porch floor. Paint this TO
match the woodwork. This will be use
full in many ways. The men will find
1t just right for resting then feet: the
women a convenient place for their work.
