Worth While Hints

Here are few worth while hints: To
clean carpets, use two ounces each of sal
soda and borax, one cake of white soap
dissolved in a large bucket of boiling soft
water. Let it cool, then add two ounces
of su'phuric ether. Scrub the busted car
pets on the floor with the warm fluid and
wipe with a dry cloth. This will clean
the carpet beautifully and destroy moths
To fill cracks in floor, soak newspapers
in a paste of half pound of flour, half
pound of alum, and three quarters of
water. Allow it to boil until you have a
putty like mixture. which may be forced
into the cracks with case knife. 1t will
harden like papier mache. For tired,
burning feet, two ounces of grain (never
wood alcohol, two ounces of witch hazel,
20 drops of carbolic acid. Battle the feet
in hot water and wipe dry. Rub in the
alcohol solution every night.

Lobster a la Newburg

Can you give me a recipe for crab
meat la Newburg? I inclose a stamped
and self-addressed envelope for reply
''B. Med"
With twelve well-attested recipes for
cooking crab meat before my eyes, I can
find none under the heading "a la Mary
land" My chagrin is sensibly nitigated
by the certain hope that one will be con-
tributed by a wiser housewife. I transfer
the request to her. Here is the lobster a
la Newburg: Stir pinch of baking soda
into pint of cream. Put with this the
beaten yolks of three eggs into a double
boiler and bring to the boiling point, stir
ring often. When it has thickened stir
in quickly a glass of sherry. Add at once
two cups of lobster meat cut into small
cubes and seasoned to taste with salt and
cayenne. Stir until 1t is smoking hot and
serve in a deep dish. The quantity of
the delicacy depends upon obedience to
the directions herewith given and upon
ready serving.

She Smokes Cigarettes

Il smoke cigarettes OCCASIONALLY and
enjoy it! I think 1t no worse for a
woman to smoke than for man to do it,
My fiance doesn't know this, and I am
afraid he would not approve of my doing
it, although he thinks it smart in
other girls. Shall 1 marry him without
telling him and trust that he will not be
much upset about it? Please tell me
what to do. "NICOTINA.'
Unless you are phenomenally careful
in concealing the evidence of the prac-
tice the chances are 10 to he suspects
it already. One of the drawbacks to
women smoking (and to men, too, for

hair of the victim of the habit. If Nour
fiance does not like to have you smoke
cigarettes, why should you do it? Sup
pose he INDUCED privately in pipe, al
though he knew that you detested the
practice, what would be your feelings
when you found out the deception? My
counsel Is that you make sure of that
of which you are now afraid and if
your fears are well founded run no risks
The love of a good man is worth more
than all the cigarettes in the world. You
need not confess what has been your
practice in the past since you have no
conscientious scruples as to the pro-
priety of it. But give UP the pleasure CO.
