Wash chamois and Doeskin Gloves

The secret of success in washing
chamois and doeskin gloves lies in
using lukewarm or cool water-better
cool than even a few degrees too
warm
That, at least, is one of the secrets;
the other is to use soapy water. The
soapier the water, providing it is OF
the right temperature, the silkier and
softer the gloves will be. They should
first be freed from all dirt in soap
bath, and then put through another
soapy bath in order that they may be
rinsed from the dirt set free. They
should then be pressed and squeezed
in a thick towel until they are free
from soap and water as nearly as pos
sible. Then they are ready to be
hung to dry in a cool, dry place. New
er hang them near a fire, and never
hang them in the sunshine If you
would have them soft and pliable af'
ter laundering.

BEST OF SANDWICHES
SOME NEW IDEAS EVOLVED BY
CLEVER COOKS.
improvements in the Popular Tit-Bit
Known as the "cIub" Have Been
Made-oysters Used in Place
of Chicken.

Tea rooms in the big city shopping
j districts are serving some new vari-
! cites of the always popular club sand
wich.' While the principal ingredi-
ents remain the same each style of
:, club sandwich differs from its fellows
In some detail which makes it dis
tinctive
What is known as French club
sandwich is served with toasted
English muffin substituted for the
usual slices of toasted bread. 1t is
set down before one garnisbed with a
few sprays of parsley pressed deep
into the yielding surface of the half
muffin which tops the substantial fill
ing of chicken, bacon, mayonnaise, let
tuce and sliced tomato. Watercress
is used in similar fashion, the spray
of green in either case being embedded
in the toasted muffin so firmly that it
seems to be a little flower holder.
Two halves of crumpet are used for a
similar sandwich and filled with the
same combination, making sand
wich still more hearty.
Where toasted bread is used vari-
ETY. is given to the club sandwich by
reason of some other meat or fish be-
ing substituted for the usual founda-
ton layer of breast Of chicken. Thin
" sliced duck is delicious with the
bacon and other ingredients, and tur-
key is also another good substitute.
Strips of rare beef, either cold or
freshly cut from hot roast and
moistened with horseradish may also
be used, and strips of rare steak are
equally appropriate.
An oyster club sandwich has for
its distinctive feature two or three
large fried oysters. These are laid
on the under slice of toast, sprinkled
with lemon juice and then topped with
two strips of bacon, two lettuce
leaves, spoonful of mayonnaise and
then the second slice of toast.
For those who do not care for fried
oysters the oyster club sandwich
comes in still a different form, the
oysters being poached in their own
liquor until the gills curl, when they
are drained Of moisture and used for
the foundation of the sandwich. If
preferred oyster club sandwiches may
be served with Russian dressing in
stead of mayonnaise, as the addition
of the tomato flavor in the chilli sauce
is particularly agreeable with oysters,
either fried or poached.
Sardine club sandwich is made
of large boned sardines, sprinkled with
lemon juice and arranged as usual
and finely cut lobster, either hot or
cold. offers still another variety.
The egg club sandwich is usually
served with a basis of an egg fried on
both sides, and seasoned well with
salt, pepper and paprika before the
other materials for the sandwich are
added. Hard-boiled eggs, sliced or
chopped, result in sandwich less
rich In both cases the eggs should
be served hot.

three oranges with two cupfuls Of

tablespoonfuls of gelatin with milk,
then heat over hot water until dis

purchase of materials for state road
building and in payment for convict
labor employed thereon.
This being the case in all probability
the board Of control at subsequent

amount, probably about $500 to aid the
