The little plates commonly given
for bread and butter are large enough
and give prettier effect than bigger
ones. Beside the plates put the serv
iettes small round doilies, or paper
napkins folded in triangles. Pure white
paper napkins are far better than
those with colored borders, for the mo-

CARE OF WALL PAPER.

" on will get better results If you
put a full double plated ruffie on
the bottom Of the bag which you slip
over the broom to brush the walls.
Dust may be cleaned from wall paper
by rubbing 1t gently with wheat bran
which has been placed in a clean fan
mel bag.
A cloth dipped in -four and rubbed
across a smoky spot on the ceiling will
clean 1t nicely. If the ceiling is badly
blackened. make a fairly thick paste Of
starch and water. Apply this with
pad of flannel and allow it to dry on. then
brush off with soft brush. and you will
find the result well worth the trouble.
The following is a most excellent and
simple method Of cleaning wall paper,
and can be used with confidence. Take
one quart Of flour and stir in five cents
make stiff dough. Work and kneed un-
til smooth, then wipe the paper with this
batch of dough, working 1t SO that a
clean surface will be presented with
this way and It will be perfectly clean.
An excellent way to remove paper from
the wall when about to repaper a room.
is to make a rather thin paste OF flour
and water and go over the paper with
large brush or cloth, wetting every part.
while the paper may be taken Off in great
strips without spreading particle of dirt
or dust. The following is also good
way to remove paper. Dissolve quar-
ter Of a pound Of pulverized saltpeter in a
gallon of water and soak one strip at a
time When the paper comes off cell
ing in spots. 1t is almost useless to try
and replace it, unless you remove all the
old paper and give the ceiling sizing OF
glue or hot vinegar, when the new paper
will stick.
Sugar in paste will make paper suck
to the walls. Stir together one PINT
Of sifted flour and one heaping table
spoonful of sugar. Mix to a smootn
paste with cold water, then add Dol boil
ing water until of the right consls-
tency. Cooking the paste for two or
three minutes improves it.
When cleaning the baseboards OF
nanered room. use a strip of tin to

A Spice Box for Camp.

A WELL FILLED box of spices Will
~ be thankfully remembered at
every camp meal. If somebody is
thoughtful enough to pack 1T and see
that it reaches its destination, for
even the plainest food can be rendered
appetizing by judicious seasoning, and
the most appetizing dainties of camp
fare can be improved by spices that
bring out their flavor.
OF course, you will remember to take
along salt and pepper, but If you want
the taste immortal have the last of cay

of the last may be put in canned meat
soups instead of sherry, which Is more
bulky to carry.
Tomatoes always liven up a canned
soup, and so also a shaving of garlic
and a squeeze of lemon juice. When
using the sauce remember that 1t must
be cooked with the soup. A raw egg,
beaten into the soup after 1t has been
taken from the fire. or milk cooked
with it. Is a splendid reviver.

silks are often combined with cotton

appearance. Cotton net is more dressy

used with all the fashionable materials

n q AND needlework OF all sorts Is
l5I SO much admired nowadays that
u = il is not surprising that women
who go TO the country for hot weather.
and their less fortunate sisters who are
compelled to spend most of the heated
term in the city. always have handy
some bit of fine sewing for the rainy
dsys and the hours spent on the great
hotel piazzas or the little stooplike
porches of the city. And more than
one hostess, bored with the usual round
Of country or city life. has made the
needle an excuse for very pretty little
social functions.
OF all these functions. the prefer
.nce is for the porch bee. for 1t gives
one an opportunity TO look at the good
sky. at least, in the city. and. In the
country, also at the changing LEAKAGE
and all the rest of the rare and radiant
outdoors Then, though II is very
pleasant TO sew in cool living room,
and even though you know something
good TO eat is coming after awhile. you
know very well that IL won't taste half
so good as IL you had IL out where the
air could blow on you.
Indeed, Judging the whole thing oy

about the next best thing TO picnic.

little function certainly helps 10 while
