Then Mother Dear said:

Secret Kitchen for Flat

For years the comic papers have
amused themselves at the expense Of
fiat jewellers who endeavor to hide
necessary utility arrangements I'M
der the shells of pianos and easy
chairs to the confusion of unsuspect-
ing callers.
Tt has, however. remained for a
well-known artist IN, Gotham to
evolve practical and successfully
hidden kitchenette within the outer
covering of den, says an exchange.
The hardwood writing desk opens
out to disclose a gas stove, the cur
tains underneath hiding the oven
doors when the stove is not In use.
The window seat opens out into a
table on rollers, while the sides unfold
and disclose two inner compartments,
one for pots and pans and the other
for the garbage pail.
After the table is set its inventor
touches 1t gently and 1t rolls of its
own accord into the studio. when it
stops near a Dutch window. When
the meal Is finished the bottom shelf
of the china closet is found to contain
a sink with hot and cold faucets con-
nected through the wall with the
bathroom pipes. So much for in
genious man when he sets his mind
upon housekeeping in small quarters.

Importance of Rice

The German and French people eat
from thirteen to fifteen pounds of rice
each, yearly, while the English and
Canadians consume eleven pounds
| The inhabitants of India, China and
Japan live mainly on rice, each per-
son consuming about pound a day.
In America, where the cost of living
is the highest, the yearly consump-
| ton of rice is only about four and a
half pounds per capita, says the
Washington Evening Star
In spite of repeated directions how
to cook it, one seldom finds rice
served in state of perfection ex-
cept in the South, where they allow
plenty of water to the grain. do not
boil 1t too long and never stir 1t
while 1t is cooking. The right pro-
portions are one cup of rice to three
of boiling water, with q scant tea
spoonful of salt. Some think a tiny
bit of lard added to boiling water
gives brilliancy to the rice and pre-
vents sticking or boiling over. When
the sailed water is boiling briskly,
add the cup of rice. keep the cover
on the kettle, slightly pushed to one
side, and let 1t boil for fifteen min
utes. When the grain is soft, re-
move the cover, and at the same heat
let it dry out for five minutes. If
cooking on gas stove at the end II
five minutes lower the gas and let the
drying out process continue ten 20
thirty minutes longer. If cooking on
as wood stove or cook stove, at the
end of the five minutes place the rice
on the back of the stove, or in the
oven. to dry out. Never stir rice
while cooking When 1t is drying a
knife may be passed around the inner
edge of the dish. If you think you
must stir it use cork instead of
spoon.
Rice cooked in milk is much richer,
but has to be watched more closely
while cooking. Cooked as above IL
rected, it will be a grain food, not
sticky mush.
There are many attractive, nourish-
ing dishes that may be made with
rice. A bit of it need never be thrown
away. 1t improves any soup. Cold
boiled rice may be substituted to adj
vantage whenever bread is used as D.
stuffing. Spoonfuls of rice arranged
as border makes pretty garnish for
meats or vegetables.

EVENING WRAPS ARE
TRIMMED WITH FUR

Rose velvet is the material used in
one voluminous evening wrap, and
the wide collar Is made Of black fox.
Unlike the wide kimono sleeve used
on the coats last season, this wrap
is cut rather narrow where it joins
the wide cuff and affords some pro-
lection to the wrist.
Peau de taupe is the material used
in another wrap and the fiat collar
and wide muif are made of ermine.
The old manner of fastening the
ermine tails over the surface of the
white fur has been done away with
for the present, and the tails are
used as a fringe to trim neckpiece or
muff, says an exchange.
F'ringes of monkey fur are being
used on the edge Of some of the new
evening wraps This fur is particu-
larry effective with velvet wraps of
Indian mahogany, a fall shade pre-
dicted to become popular.

Concerning Quilts

A novel quilt.--A charming little
quilt can be quickly made for the
small boys and girls in this way:
Sew together handkerchief on
which there are bright printed pic
lures of nursery rhymes. Open the
hens and join them together. Make
a border of some light, pretty calico,
or any bright suitable material you
have. s.
Such quilt will afford no end of
amusement and comfort to a sick
child, and can be easily washed, as
such patterns on handkerchiefs are
always in O fast dye
Eiderdowns. When eiderdown
quilts lose their elasticity and be-
come limp and draggled-looking,
hang them out In the bright sun
shine for a few hours.
The result is very gratifying,
think you will agree.-Philadelph
Inquirer.

Eucalyptus Oil

Eucalyptus oil is largely used as a
disinfectant and deodorant.
Two ounces of oil of eucalyptus
placed in q porous earthenware yes
sci will keep the air of any chamber
in which the vessel Is suspended per-
fectly free from smell for several
months.
For similar purpose it may be
mixed with eight times it's weight
of sawdust and used to sprinkle on
floors, says an exchange.
As an inhalation, oil of eucalyptus
may be mixed with smelling salts or
teaspoonful may be stirred into
hot water in jug or bronchitis ket-
tie. This is useful both for checking
cold or influenza attack or for re-
lieving headache.
For malaria the oil is sometimes
given, though Its use is doubtful, in
place of quinine in flve-drop doses
on sugar.

than my heart. Mary responded to

a little. Her quick solicitude for me

"Come, Peter" she said. ''let me
tuck you in your chair before your

"A sponge makes the best of mus

mustard in basin of water until the

the handkerchief neatly to form a

panation:

The answer to the riddle printed
Thursday night is "A whale" The
whale was supposed to have hands

was inside OF him. OF course, there
can be no heaven or hell for
whale. The riddle was printed
several months ago in the Labor
Bulletin and prize given for the
correct answer.

Appetizing Sauces

let them stand in cold water for about
half an hour. Place in boiling water
and Ecook until tender; then drain
off the water and dress with butter

a little flour. This is a good sauce
to serve with duck.
Caper Sauce-To three tablespoon
fuls of capers add pint of drawn
butter to serve with mutton. Season
with pepper and salt.
Caper butter is about the same as
caper sauce in taste, but it Is made
differently and is served with fish in
stead of mutton. The capers must be
chopped very fine and rubbed through
a sieve and mixed we'll with salt, pep
per and cold butter.
Lemon Sauce-This is a simple and
tasty method of dressing boiled fowl.
Cut four slices of lemon into tiny dice
and drop them into drawn butter.
Let this come barely to the boiling
point and pour over the fowl.
