SOME OF THE OLD Triples"
Early Housekeepers Had Many Re.
cIpes That Have Been Handed
Down to Posterity.

Whether there will be a revival dur
ing the next few years of the domestic
art of making wine is a matter of pure
conjecture, but it is interesting to
recall that formerly many common
things that grow around us were util-
lied by thrifty housewives in the pre-
paration of "tipples" that were more
or less mild or more or less potent.
Generally the wine-making potentiali-
ties of these things are little thought
of now, and in most homes, even in
country homes, wine-making processes
have been forgotten.
Reference has recently been made
to the making of dandelion wine, a
sweet and potent wine prepared with
the aid of the golden flowers of the
dandelion. Elderberry wine and elder
flower wine were made in most of the
rural homes in the Potomac country
a generation or 30 ago. Blackberries
were gathered industriously by the
wine or cordial, and raspberries were
especially sought after that wine could
be made from them. It is probable
that in the minds of elderly persons
today there is preserved better mem
DRY of raspberry vinegar than OF rasp-
berry wine, for 1t was popularity be-
lieved that raspberry vinegar was SUI
perior to that made from apples.
In cherry time the fruit was treas
ured because it could be preserved or
converted into a familiar tipple called
cherry bounce" drink which at GER
tain stages of its "aging" or develop
ment was exhilarating and intoxicat-
ing.
The flavor of gooseberry wine was
known and esteemed by most OF the
grandmothers and grandfathers of
present Westinghouse.
On all the old farms there was
little distillery. though on some farms
it was not SO little, just as there was
an icehouse and a smokehouse, where
the peaches and apples and grapes
could be distilled into fruit brandy.
Cider-making was a ceremony. and
in the late fall when frost had pinched
and somewhat shriveled the persim-
mons strange potation called per
simmon beer was made.
Parsnip wine was made by British
housewives before emigration to
America set in, and the art of making
this wine was brought over by the
colonial times in America a drink
which was called peppermint wine, or
peppermint liqueur.

Hot-Water Platter,

Those who have to solve the prob
lem of cold dining rooms, especially
at breakfast time, will find greater
comfort in the use of the hot-water
platter. Boiling water is turned into
the tank under the platter and the top
screwed on. Then the nickel cover
is placed over the food, which keeps
hot and in perfect order for at least
thirty minutes. The original outlay
seems little large, as the medium
sized outfit costs about nine dollars,
but with careful use it will repay
one in the comfort of hot meals. There
is also the round hot-water plate
which is excellent for the breakfast
tray or invalid's use.

making his way across the public Of

Fairweather in her booth still car
ried out the pretense of typing things
from a notebook that lay upside
down beside her.
She knew that these men who ac-
companied Mr.. Gamlingay were
those who had come in response to
that breathless message sent over the
cable to Scotland Yard when the
murder was discovered, and glanced
up at them in wonder and dread as
they passed her and went to the lift,
and the mute agony in that glance
went straight to Cleek's heart and
set it hammering in spite of him. OF
a sudden, however. something else re-
garding her appealed to him and he
stopped short in his tracks, turned
round on his heel and walked back
to her.
"Miss-er-Fairweather, isn't it,"
he flung at her, leaning in through
the open door and making her jump
in her seat by the unexpectedness of
the thing.

to dump me here-without a friend

trived to make her believe that I'd
thrown her over and run off with an
other mans wife and been followed
and shot down in my tracks just as
such blackguard deserves. After
that. he coaxed and bounded her into
marrying him, and, although they
didn't live together after the first
three months of wretchedness and
disgust, she never knew that what he
told her about me wasn't the truth
until she walked in here last night
and saw me with her own eyes. And

frankly. "And if Mr.. Gamlingay has

knuckle of which was red and swol-

side; and from the manner in which
she looked at it and the start of sur
prise she gave when he called her at
tention to it it was clear that her
mind had been too much occupied to
feel or to notice the condition of it
before.
Cleek passed on, going straightway
to join the others at the lift where
Todgers, with agony in his face and
alteration in his eyes, was standing
and staring at the occupant of the
booth and unconsciously opening and
shutting his shaking hands. Neither
circumstance was lost upon Cleek;
but he gave not the slightest evidence
of the fact either in face or bearing
when, a moment later, he came
abreast of the lift and said in his
suavest and blandest tones: Tod
gers, maybe your memory is better
than Miss Fairweather's. How many
times have you taken her upstairs to-
day. She says her heads in such a
whirl she can't recall. Can you''
