Valuable Things to Know About Cheese

CHEESE> is credited with containing V as much nutriment in one pound as is contained in two pounds of beef. It bothers the digestion of some, but the melting or cooking of 1t does away with this trouble, and there are many who believe that the merits of cheese are all on the side of ease of digestion and that this is one reason why it has remained always the last dish of the dinner.
 In the old days, when heavy feeding and many bottles of port were dinner fashions, the dish of cheese was of im- mense importance. It was not morsel then as ir is now to give zest to the meal. Huge cheeses were brought whole to the banquet boards and were carved and served with a great flour :sh. Big Stilton cheeses were scooped out and filled with champagne for spe- cial occasions, and many mixtures were made of the softer creams with butter and wine forming paste to spread on crackers.
 Toasted cheese is a great Engl1sh delicacy, but for some reason 1t Is not much in favor in this country except in the rabbit The old London tavern on Fleet street. the Cheshire Cheese, got it's name from the excellence o1 tts

toasted cheese. A handy way to cook cheese in the manner called toasted IS to chop or grate quantity of 1.-the mild American cream is best-and then spread it neatly on saltine crackers. Place them side by side on a flat pan and put them in under the broiler long enough to melt the cheese. With a drop of worcestershire these are very dainty and appetizing.
 The ordinary rabbit made with melt ed cheese blended with ale or beer and poured over buttered toast satisfies most people. but there are variations. One way is to boil two large onions. chop them and mix them with butter, cream, salt, mustard and a small cup of grated cheese. This can be poured over toast or crackers.
 Broiled sardines also mix nicely in a rabbit. They are placed on the toast, skinned and boned. and the cheese is poured over them.
 A Mexican way is to use tomatoes. Break up half cup of American cream cheese and rub it to paste with but ter, mixed mustard, a little cream and tabascO sauce. Stir this as it melts and have this sauce ready to add to it: Three peeled tomatoes, an onion and a chopped pepper cooked together.

Revival of the PettiCoat

Petticoats having the curved slit, back and front, are new. net petticoat cut in this way. with overlapping edges, is finished with two inch valenciennes lace of cream color and a bow of wide satin ribbon
 at the opening, both back and front Inch wide ribbon run through inser-
 tion, with bows repeated at intervals. is trimming much in vogue again, chiefly for skirts of null and lawn. Just how popular the colored petti-
 coat will be it is hard to say, although
 it is predicted as a fashion note by tho French modistes.
 Pink, blue and yellow, with yellow
 first choice this year. are the colors ex-
 plotted in crepe de chine. with nar- row valenciennes edge as a finish. Colored lawn, with an eight or twelve
 inch plaited ruff1e of lace edged net in
 white, is still another guise for this
 garment to assume.
 For the skirts longer than the frocks
 under which they are to be worn it is
 used extensively.
 It is not an expensive trimming and
 can be renewed easily. Even the high
 priced laces and embroideries will not
 make a daintier showing below the dress than these soft plaitings of fine cream or white net.
 The really high style petticoat is tho
 skirt made of net, chiffon or organdie.
 It is very sheer, of course, and is moro
 of lace lining intended to be worn
 with a sheer frock and to beautify the
 same than for any real utilitarian pur- pose.

ISINCLASS AS A COMPLEXION
 PEEsEnvATiyE.

A WELL known woman golfer who owns a beautiful, smooth complex ion attributes the preservation of her skin to her plan of dissolving a little isinglass in hot milk, bathing her face in it and allowing 1t to dry on before she ventures out. Any feeling of con- traction soon passes of, and the isin- glass forms an invisible coating to the skin and protects it from the ravages of the wind.
 Instead of isinglass, either gelatin or white of egg beaten to a froth may be employed. The latter Is an excel- lent remedy against all chapping and is in itself cleanser. A good plan after the face has been exposed to the wind or cold is to sponge 1t with rose water into which has been dropped . little eau de cologne or lavender water. or as a further eSzoilient amply cs,al milk to the skass.

Valuable Hints For Keeping a Dresser Daintu

IF you are dainty about your boudoir
 and it's accessories you have no- ticed how dust seems to collect on the dresser overnight and to the dust are added siftings of talcum powder. It is well nigh impossible to remove all the dresser belongings each day and shake out the covers. but going over the dresser top with a small whisk broom will help matters amazingly. The brushes, | frames, bottles, etc., should be carefully dusted every morning, for nothing is 80 distressing = dust on . dainty dresser.
 The idea of having Aaslab of beveled Giass over the embroidery or lace cover does not appeal to some women. It has . coldly neat but obviously labor saving suggestion that implies econ- omy exercised in housemaid service so most dressers are graced with spreads of cretonne, lace, embroidery or swiss, entirely unprotected by glass 5Cretonne covers are serviceable, but they are not as dainty as covers of em- bfoidery, dotted swiss or lace trimmed organdie over a lining of colored sa- teen. This lining should be exactly tho OiEo of the sheer cover and not the size oE tho dresser top. If small metal snap buttons are attached to sateen lining and cover at the four corners tho top pieces of fabric will not slip apart or ride over-' the edge of the dresser at the front as covers sometimes do. If cretonnc to match curtains or cushions is used to cover the dresser a strip of white net, first shrunken and pressed out again. should be laid over the cre- tonne and attached to 1t around the edges under fancy edge banding or ball trimming. The yelling of net sof- tons and blends the cretonne colors into beautiful harmony of delicate tints.

A LTHOUGH the stif1y starched pet
 ticoat is still on the shelf, petti- coats of silk and net and fine muslin are once more a prominent feature of the wardrobe.
 They are not only for wear, but for show as we'll. The dress with the turn ed back cuff requires a petticoat to complete it. In many instances two or three inches of plaited lace or net or embroidery are displayed quite sans gene.
 While the clinging lines continue for dresses, the petticoat, too must cling For this reason crepe de chine soft taf- feta and net are high favorites. The silk petticoat will be especially popu- lar under the filmy cotton dress and far from an extravaganza will prove a real economy.
 It is often without ruffle of any sort-just the straight length. with a scalloped edge and bit of embroidery, and 1t has an undoubted elegance that many of the elaborately trimmed en- tirely lack.
 On the other hand, the cotton petti- coat will be worn under the silk dress in this topsy turvy world.
 Petticoats of lawn, with straight twelve inch f1ounces of embroidery, that are quite fine and dainty are offered for a very low figure in very good shops. Those of null, with hand em- broidered ruffles, cost little more, de- pending on the elaborateness of the de- sign for their price.

KITCHEN KINKS,

TE7HEN making mint sauce, if hot vinegar is used instead of cold 1t will greatly improve the flfiavor and give the sauce a better color.
 When making lemonade always dis solve the sugar in little hot water before putting it into the lemonade. This keeps the sugar from sinking to EtAe bottom of the glass and sweetens .ik more quickly. Another method is to put the lemon in hot water before pqueezing, as it gives more juice.
 To remove rust moisten a piece of soap and rub it all over tho steel; then powder the range with some bath prick and with dry rag rub the steel with this; then polish the steel for the last time with another clean dry rag ana you will be surprised at the change this makes.
 By slipping stitf collars into . glass tumbler after they are ironed and al- lowing them to dry they can be made to keep their shape.

Pajamas or Niqhties-
thhi.;n

THERE are a few women who have
 been sensible enough to take to pajamas, but the rest cling to theiy nighties with tenacity worthy of greater cause.
 Pajamas are sensible because their legs can't get up and wrap about ones waist as the skirt of the old time nightgown always did, always does and always will Besides. pajamas are be- coming if they are pretty and fit fairly well. Especially do boarding school girls like them. They are so much warmer than the night robe when one is running about from one room to an other to surreptitious spreads and the like.
 So when you have occasion to give . boarding school girl or a college girl a present why not give her a pair of embroidered pajamas? They may be very plain, with just brier stitching about the places where there must be hems and a monogram over the hand kerchief pocket, with silk frogs to fas- ten the coat, or they may be quite elab. crate and feminine. with a much em- broidered coat, and may even have touch of embroidery about the bottoms of the trousers legs
 Pajamas with turnback shawl col- lars are somewhat newer than the coats with simple collarless V. Cream silk pajamas with wild rose pattern or forgetmenot pattern down the front of the jacket. about the shawl collar and the turnback cuffs are fascinat- ing. There are any number of other collars and also other materials be- sides silk. Pajamas should never be, of course, of g. dark color. Daintinass must be their keynote, and therefore We must adhere 70 the pastel shades.
