Seeming the Hair

Perfume has not the best of repu-
tations, but, nevertheless, it has its
uses, and very dainty ones at that,
1t has simply fallen into disrepute
because of the very lavish use that
was made of it for few years.
Provided one is careful to remem-
Der that the charm of a scent lies in
its ever-elusive, almost evanescent,
character-that it should be SO faint
as to be perceptible only to ones
ub-consciousness, as it were--a girl
should adopt one as her very own,
and see that all her belongings re-
ceiVe their share
A delightful way of imRarting a
delicate scent to the hair is to let it
filter through in the form of steam.
1t sounds difficult, but it is not at
all.
Simply fill a small bowl with boil
ing water and pour some of your
particular perfume upon it. The two
liquids will not mingle, but if you hold
your head over the bowl the steam
of the water will carry the scent with
it and through the hair in a most
satisfactory fashion.-Exchange.

The first-and easiest method is what
is called the eold-water method. RhL-
barb, gooseherries, and even straw
berries. may be canned by this
method.
Rhubarb may be taken as an eX-
ample. Select young, tender rhubarb.
Wash it carefully and cut into small
pieces without peeling it.
Pack it in jar as closely as pos
slble without MASKING it, place a new
rubber on the jar, fill it to overflow
ing with cold water and seal 1t. Al
low it to stand twenty-four hours.
At the end of this time the amount
of water in the Jar will APPARENTLY be
diminished-tha is, although the jar
was filled to overlooking, the water
will now be two inches from the top.
The explanation is that the water
has soaked into the rhubarb and
iced out the air.
Drain this remaining water from
Jar and fill it once more to over
wing with fresh cold water and
al it. Allow it TO stand another
Senty-four hours.
At the end of this time the same

For the Amateur Cook

Many housekeepers wonder why
they never have their soups as clear,
OF their roasts as juicy and tender,
as they would like. The wrong meth
Cd of preparation will spoil these ar

arc Of the best. The careful regulat-
ing of the degree of heat when cook
ing is one of the most important
points. Soup should not be cooked
too hard, neither should 1t be sim
mered below the proper temperature,
especially If it contains bones. Good
beef is often also spoiled by furious
boiling or by putting it into cool
oven. DO not sprinkle with salt until
nearly done.

The Way to Boil Lobsters

Put a handful of salt into large
kettle or pot of boiling water. When
the water boils very hard put in
the lobster, having first brushed it
and tied its claws together with AZ
piece of Irvine. Keep it boiling for
from twenty minutes to half an
hour, according to its size. If
boiled too long the meat will be
hard and stringy. When it is done
take it out, lay it on it's claws to
drain and then wipe it dry.
ct is hardly necessary to men
ton that the head of the lobster
and what are called the lady
fingers" are not to be eaten.)
When cool split open the body
and the tail and crack the claws
to extract the meat Remove the
sand pouch found near the throat.
Care should be exercised that none
of the feathery, tough, gill;
like particles found under the body
shall get mixed with the meat, as
they are indigestible.

Low shoes when new often bis
