New silk stockings have four but
tonholes stayed with a strong tape;
through this the garter is clasped.
This prevents the stockings from run
ming.
To keep furs from moths, hang
them on the line for several days and
beat them well. Put them in an un-
bleached muslin bag, tied tightly at
the top. Moths never will enter.
Handkerchief linen can be pur-
chased for SO cents yard, and this
will make nine handkerchiefs They
can be hemstitched and an edge of
lace sewed on; they are very pretty
A serviceable house skirt is Of dark
blue denim, made in plain, simple
way. 1t is easily washed and will
outwear all other kinds of goods
Denim sells at 124 or Is cents a yard.
Many cooks use this receipt in pre-
pairing creamed Goldfish: Soak the
fish three hours; boil in fresh water
until tender; pick out all the bones;
take one pint Of milk and bring to the
boiling point; thicken with a table,
spoon of cornstarch dissolved in
little water, add a spoon Of butter,
then stir in the fish, a good, large cup
or a little more; add two well beaten
eggs, let them cook moment.
Jellied chicken is delicious. Here is
a recipe for it's making: Boil till
bones drop away from meat, then re-
turn chicken to water and leave there
all night; next morning chop chicken
very fine, season with salt, pepper and
a little butter; mix thoroughly, put
in little moulds, after it has set to jelly
take from molds and serve sliced.
Very nice served each slice on a let
tuce leaf.
Here is an excellent method OF
cleaning white gloves and plumes:
Mix a paste Of gasolene and flour.
Put gloves upon your hands and apply
the paste with a clean white cloth.
All soiled spots will be removed. In
cleaning plumes they should be i'm
mersed in the paste. This is very
good time to clean the plumes from
winter hats. After they are cleaned
with the paste, they may be put away
and the moths will not bother them.
Green peppers are almost as useful
as tomatoes for summer salads. These
individual appetizers may be stuffed
with any mayonnaise, cucumber and
tomatoes, or boiled slaw made Of red
cabbage seasoned with caraway seeds,
sugar and vinegar. If the last is used
it must be drained dry Of liquid be-
fore it is put in the peppers. A little
top is cut off these at the stem end
and after the filling is put in the top
is put back. The seeds and pith must
be removed from the peppers, of
course, or else they will be too hot to
eat.
Flowered organdieS are back in
fashion for summer frocks. Lovely
effects may be obtained by mounting
the fiowered organdie over thin silk.
The silk need not necessarily match
the tint of the flowers; for instance,
a lavender fiowered organdie is mount
ed over pale pink pussy willow, still
a rose flowered organdie is mounted
over faint lilac, and so on. Black
velvet ribbon sashes are much fancied
with these pretty costumes, and the
sharp note Of black seems to make the
soft colors of the organdie all the
softer and more dainty.
A formula for a scent to place
among her bed linen is usually liked
by the dainty woman, and here is a
most excellent one: One ounce Of
powdered gum benzoin, one Of pow
dered cloves and two of powdered cin-
namon; add to these seven ounces
powdered cedar wood and the same Of
dried lavender flowers; mix, sift and
put into fiat bags to lay between
sheets and smaller ones for the slips;
or if pads are made to fit the shelves
it will answer as well. Balsam, the
fir tree balsam, gives of it's own fresh
fragrance from pads made and filled
with it and these, with the old-fash-
