was rusty. and whatever paint it had
once possessed had been Clipped and
scratched off. The chest of drawers
was battered and lacked two casters.

had broken back and the other limped
on three legs. The original color of
the ragged rug was lost in the faded and
dirty condition it had attained. A torn

water and milk with tablespoonful of
butter for each four cupfuls Of fluid. Chop

and pepper to taste. When almost at the
boiling point. stir in slowly a table,
spoonful or more of -four which has
been previously mixed to very soft paste
with little cold water. A heaplng table,
spoonful should be allowed for quart of
liquid. Stir until you have a smooth

or macaroni. Those to whom l have
served these soups have relished them
greatly. l trust that this suggestion may
