1T is perfectly marvellous the time
a housekeeper can save if she only
keeps her eyes and ears open and
profits by what she sees and hears.
1t has only been recently that many
women whose profession is housework
have grasped the fact that their time is
worth something and they should con-
serve it, along with everything else they
are conserving, and spend it in the way
that will bring the largest return.
One day. not long ago, club to which
some of our neighborhood belong gave
a luncheon at one of the rather new
restaurants in town, and the luncheon
was brought in and set down at each
cover on one huge plate. The plate was
divided into four sections, and each sec

For those people who crave a real

a delight. If the windowbox faces the

EXit-The Winter Je1lies

Then one can always use leftover
jelly with cream cheese and make very
dainty and attractive dish of it. too.
Mash and beat the cheese to a cream
and add the jelly to it. Half a glass
to 14-cent cake of the cheese is suffi-
cient; beat we'll and put away to chill.
When ready to serve press the cheese
and jelly mixture through Ii ricer and

crackers delicately and arrange around

And did you know that a meringue
is greatly improved by the addition of
a few teaspoonsful of jam or Jelly
whipped into the eggs when the merngue
is nearly finished? Try this with some
delicate marmalade, or some preserve
cut into tiny pieces. and you will be
highly pleased with the result.
Jelly and whipped cream pie is a de-
licious thing, but may find objectors.
owing to the price of whipping cream.
In that case substitute the white of one
egg and make the dessert almost as
good. For the pie, make a she'll of
flaky pastry and bake it golden brown.
When finished, spread it with jelly or
jam, using several kinds if you have
odds and ends to make use of, then top
with layer of sweetened whipped cream
and sprinkle lightly with powdered
sugar. If a meringue is used, brown
gently.
Jelly pie is a novelty to many, but it
is very simple and not expensive Beat

crust with strips of pastry arranged in
lattice fashion across the pie. A me-
ringue may be made Of the egg whites
and placed on the pie, or one whole
egg may be used in its making in place

Vines That Climb
And Those That Hang

The most satisfactory vines that will
hang down are ivy. vnca and nastur-
tiums. Those that can be trained TO
climb are morning glories. japanese hop.
nasturtiums, red runner bean. and for
a delicate foliage there is our homely
friend, the sweet potato. Occasionally
sweetpeas have been successfully grown,
but they are scarsely to be recommended
for they require deeper rootage than
can be supplied by wndowbox and
their time of blooming is short.
For the kitchen windowbox the house
wife can buy small plants of summer
savory, parsley, even root or two of
chives. and dwarf nasturtiums whose
spicy stems add flavor to Summer salads.
Though this list seems small COM
pared with the almost limitless variety
offered a country garden maker to choose
from, still they are all lovable, dependa-
bic plants and will do their very best to
make the face of city cave-dweller's
habitation look like beloved home
There is no general rule as to the
choice of plants for a windowbox, but
for the sake of the health and vigor of
the plant care must be taken not to over
crowd After all, there is but a small
amount of earth and the fewer the plants
in it the better they will grow; better
to have few healthy looking plants
than many sickly, spindling ones. Re-
member also that the green foliage of a
plant is always beautiful, even though
no blossoms dapple it,

wv 7ITH Easter coming so late this
w year, nothing will be more
popular at the Easter dinner
table than delicious frozen dessert
We have often been called nation of
ice cream eaters and this is the day
to live up to our reputation.
Plain vanilla ice cream with various
sauces is always popular choice, as
demonstrated by the number of "sun-
daes' sold; but new suggestions for this
popular dish are a thick maple sauce
over coffee cream; coffee marron sauce
over chocolate cream, and a strawberry
(made from preserved Strawberries
and marshmallow whip sauce over either
plain junket cream or a frozen Gus
tard
The following tested recipes give for
muas for novel creams that are deli
cious and not difficult to make at home.

I'm ALMOST every kitchen cupboard
or preserve closet, | venture to
say, there are odds and ends of
jam and marmalade, half jars of pre-
serves, a spoonful of this, mere taste
Of that, and not enough of anything to
make a presentable dish on either the
breakfast or the luncheon table.
But with prices only few rungs from
the top of the ladder, and the restrc-
tions only so recently removed from
sugar, no conscientious woman would
permit herself to waste even a teaspoon
ful of the sweets that she made with
so much care and so many economical
misgivings last summer. And there is
no need for waste, either, for if one is
among the initiated she will find dozen
ways of making use of these remnants.
Several delicious puddings, tarts and
other desserts may be made even more
tempting by the addition of these same
scraps, and there are tasty and delec-
table little additions to the menu that
require Just the flavor which they will
add to it.
Pudding sauces made of the jelly
(and several varieties of the latter may
be combined in one sauce) melted in
little hot water to which a teaspoon of
butter, few drops of lemon juice and
enough sugar to make it slightly sweeter
are added, are decidedly good. The
sauce should be thickened with a little
cornstarch moistened in cold water and
if desired, it may be given additional
zest by pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
Perhaps you would prefer a cold
jelly sauce, and here is very fine one,
a little more expensive than the first.
but good enough to warrant the extra
expenditure. Whip half a cup of cream
until very stiff, then add gradually half
a glass Of jelly, or you may use two
kinds if you have them; beat smooth
and velvety and serve on blanc mango,
or any cold pudding. Rice, cooked tender,
favored slightly and sweetened little,
then pressed into forms and chilled, is
very tempting when turned out and
served with this cold jelly sauce. And
for a layer cake filing it has no
superior.

~ITY people need green growing
things more than those who live
in the country. A wndowbox
s,led with blooming flowers gives more
;oy to passing city workers than an
acre Of land out where flowers are n
common heritage of the people. City
yeople have been accused of living not
!, homes. but in houses Whenever a
stranger passes by monotonous row of
apartment houses and sees windowbox
u;th green vines blowing in the breeze,
,r bright flowers looking up into the sun,
:, ;s obvious that behind that window
hov lives some one who loves the thought
of home and tries to create it. even under
difficult city conditions. Even facing
north and east, each window may have
its box.
Every city dweler can have window
box, no matter 10 Whlch point or the COM
mass his small window faces, for nature
has devised plants and vines for every
known situation. The art lies in proper
selection. Suggestions for the planting
Of windowboxes for all situations will
be given, but the first necessity for sue
cess lies in proper soil.
Any windowbox will do. even the sim
plest one made of rough lumber and
painted; and by the way we must say
that the most inharmonious, unsatisfac-
tory color to paint a windowboX is that
hdeous shade Of blue-green known as
bottle-green, with which nine out of every
ten windowboxes are painted This
green clashes with any known shade of
foliage Boxes can be painted rich

Sometimes they arc made in the form

rated but for the face of large apart
mcnt houses the simple box of concrete
or of wood stained n good green is best
Getting to the
Root of the Matter
Drainage is most important. There
should be holes in the bottom of every
box to let the surplus water pass out
and not remain to rot the roots. Each
hole should be covered with broken bits
of pots or stones The soil of window
boxes should be very rich for the re
strlcted area requires intensive feeding
of plants The earth should be mixed
with sand and leaf mould occasionally,
and the box should be watered with mild
solution of nitrate and plants fed with
bonemeal or other plant food. A little
water must be given every day, instead
of a great deal every few days.
There are two ways to plant window
boxes. One is to keep them in constant
bloom through change of plants; the
other is to SOW seeds of certain ANIMALS
and enjoy watching them develop. The
latter method is perhaps the most enjoy
able; certainly it is cheaper, but it does
not make the display that can be had by
an occasional transplanting of fresh
flowers as the old ones pass the blooming
time. For winter wndowboxes there
are many lovely dwarf evergreens such
as jumpers, arborvite, spruces, pines.
