NOVEL WAYS FOR HOME
unGTESS

For An Evening Party-For the
chatting dish party, sweetbreads served
in terrapin style are irresistible. For
six guests parboil sweetbreads, extract
tubes and cut into half-inch pieces.
To pint of cream, walnut OF butter
little salt and black pepper, add the
sweetbreads and cook briskly at least
10 minutes. Add thickening OF flour
and cream and stir. Throw in a wine
glass of sherry and serve on buttered
toast. 1t would be improved by adding
white stock to the cream or consomme,
in equal quantities, and flavor with bay
leaf, BY substituting lobster for sweet
breads you have lobster la Newburg.
Disqualification a luncheon or tea:
If the centerpieoe is of large flowers,
put in small crystal vases one blossom
each. Place these at regular intervals
on the plate rail- A room with floral
frieze is gay. 1t is especially pretty
for an engagement party.
Birthday Cake-Use a large, round
granite pan with a buttered tumbler
in the center. The cake cooks perfect
ly. The glass is easily removed and
leaves hole in the center. Sometimes
children want the glass left in and
filled with flowers, candy or some
other surprise. Sometimes it is re-
moved and the hole piled high with
whipped cream.

ANXIOUS READER.
To cure blackheads make an oint-

Continue until the spots have disap-
peared Then twice week wash the
! face with this mixture, removing the
liquid at once by rinsing with clear
water. Wipe over the large pores
with a little alcohol.
For pimples that frequently appear
with blackheads make an ointment OF
20 grams of sulphur precipitate and
20 grams of potash soap. Rub over
the pimples at night. This may be
used at the same time as the black.
