REALLY LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
Joke, 1t Appeared to Comedian, But to
CurIo Store Proprietor It
Was a Horror.

George Robey, the comediai. fire.
quently drops in for chat with a
dealer in London. In the outer room
are vases and jars, cups. groups and
sets of pieces. valued at anything from
so to 500 guineas. Inside is the pro
prietor's private apartment. To reach
him you gingerly pick your way
through the thousands of pounds
worth of valuable china
"One day, not long ago Robey
says, Il had been chatting within, and
a friend was waiting for me in the
saloon without. AS bade the dealer
Good morning.! and passed through
to the street / heard a dreadful crash

upon me an eye CLASSY with anguish
Never shall forget the proprietor's
expression of supreme horror as he
rushed from his sanctum and saw us
standing amidst the debris of broken
chinaware which lay strewn around
our feet. He was speechless -chok

Legal proceedings? Five thousand
pounds? In a word, what was the
damage? you inquire. Well, | am sor-

prietor was in bed for week as the

PROPER CARE OF BLANKETS
Usefulness May Be Greatly Added to
by Adoption of Methods De-
scrlbed Here.

II housewives knew what a great
saving there was in having three or
even four sets of blankets for their
beds, in as many weights, they would
not hesitate to make the outlay for
them. The cotton or silk and cotton
blankets of June, July and August
should be washed and rebound. IL
needed. and put away in their tar bags
to give place to those of cotton and
wool
Now, the all-wool blankets, as all
housewives know, are most difficult
to launder perfectly, and are not al
ways satisfactorily dry cleaned, SO
every effort must be made to keep
them clean This is done by using
them only in the extreme cold months.
December, January and February,
then shaking and airing them care
fully, putting them away. If the up
per sheet is very long, so that 1t folds
over, and the spread Is used over the
blankets, they may really be used two
seasons or more without a real wash
ing being necessary.
This method prolongs the life of the
anu LndheS IHeH always oceul
new. And once in two years one may
afford to buy new pair of blankets
to use for best or to replace those
that have grown the shabbiest in
service.
Old blankets are always in demand
in the household economy for under
blankets, ironing board pads. scrub
rags and polishing hardwood floors.
and in dozen other ways.
The Indian blankets offered in our
markets today are rather new, but
already in demand, especially those
of the Navajo weaving. This tribe
numbers about 900 natives and they
have million sheep on their reserva-
tions. The designs on their blankets
are geometrical as a rule, and the
colors are black. blue, red, yellow and
gray. They are warm and durable, SO
are in great demand for northern
travellers and residents at the army
posts. They are also quite dominant
note in the eastern blanket centers.

Apple Cream Cake.

Use this cream between and on top
and scatter whole preserved straw
berries over top if you have them:
Cream-Bake three tart apples after
coring. Scrape out inside of apple and
beat till it grows light colored. then
add little confectioners sugar and
beat again. Then add stiffly beaten
white of one egg and beat and add
enough more confectioner's sugar,
beating constantly till about the con-
sistency of heavy whipped cream. Use
the day after making. 1t sets into
sort Of sponge and looks like
whipped cream. The more you beat it
the whittier it gets.

OLD CHICKEN FOR FRYING
More Economical and as Appetizing
as Young Bird II Prepared In
This Fashion.

Few women know that from the
much-despised old hen one can make
a delicious dish OF fried chicken. The
market price of old fowl is always
from to cents less per pound than
that for the young birds; also, the
former has the better flavor.
Clean and cut up the old bird as for
stewing (this must be done in the
morning for an evening dinner), put in
stew pan two small onions, some pars-
ley, salt to taste and a pinch of pap
rika. Add the chicken and enough
water and stew gently until tender.
Do not take the fowl from the stew
pot too soon, as herein lies the secret
of tasty meal, but allow 1t to remain
in it's own juices until you are ready
to fry it. Then remove to a platter
and lightly flour each piece.
Have your frying pan hot; add your
butter and a few tablespoonfuls of
olive oil. Fry to a delicate brown and
serve in a bed of lettuce, with milk
dressing. or cream, If preferred.
The chicken stock will make a fine
cream of chicken soup or clear soup
for luncheon.
If the hen is fat, there will be on the
soup stock, when cooled, large
amount of rendered fat, which maybe
