BUILDING PERMIT FIGURES Bet
" TER THAN LAST YEAR

Elk T1HIN EHOI IEHR
The contention of the striking
painters and carpenters that most OF
their men are working, notwith-
standing the strike;- is borne out by
the building permit figures for May.
During the past month 786 permits
calling for the expenditure of S7,9O2,-
900 in new structures were issued as
compared with IT'S for $6,919, $50 IN
May, 1913, and a lesser amount Tor
May, 1912. -,
If contractors were tied up with
present jobs there would be few per
mits issued at. this time. All through
the strike period the number of union
men employed has been about nor
NAL. The carpenters, perhaps, have
less employed than last winter, but
certainly there are more painters and
lathers working now than at any
time within the last II months.
The situation is not unusual, for
more contractors have signed agree
ments accepting the demands of the
carpenters, painters and lathers than
there are who have not signed.

SERVING THE AFTERNOON TEA
Dainty Appointments Have Much to
Do With Its Successfully
Cakes for Guests.

II a table or a tea cart is not kept
in evidence it is the correct thing to
have the appointments brought in on
a spacious tray, as a cramped appear
ance, piled-up cups, etc, is unattrac-
tive. If the teacups are unusual or
possibly have histories or have been
picked up in travels, so much the
more charming will be the tea table.
Some like tea n way, some an
other, and If a hostess wishes to be
remembered with gratitude let her
have cream, lemon and rum ready to
serve, so that she may suit all tastes.
Some people are satisfied with thin
bread and butter, or just plain crack
ers as a tea accompaniment, but it al
ways seems a trifle monotonous and
urcompanylike to have nothing else.
Some hostesses prefer to serve the
tiny bread-and-butte sandwich along
with rich fruit cake and a taste of
candied ginger for the second cup.
But the various kinds of dainty and
appetizing sandwiches and little cakes
to serve with tea are beyond descrip-
ton.

Splendid Green Salad.

Don't allow the grocer to weigh your
butter, lard, etc, in a wooden dish.
These dishes weigh from one to three
ounces, according to their size, and
you are therefore paying for that much

Don't let the butcher weigh your
meat and then trim it and charge you
for the trimmings that you have paid
for. The fat can be rendered into lard
and the bones used In soup. The

sells them for six or seven cents a

Ideal Scum Kettle,

One of the woeful aspects of soup
making in the pre-enameled-ware days
was the cleansing of the heavy iron
kettle; for washing a kettle big
enough to hold a shin-bone of beef
with trimmings was no joke. Today,
however, one can have the trim, enam-
eled kettle in any size, light yet
strong, and all it needs is hot suds
and a good rinsing to make it beauti-
fully clean and sanitary. If, in addi-
ton, there is a collander of enameled
ware for the straining of the soup
into a pan to match, the equipment
is ideal for cleanliness, quickness and
results.
