WITH APRICOTS.

1t is always worth while to buy a
very good quality, If not the best
quality, of dried apricots. They should
first be soaked for about a quarter
of an hour in cool water, and then
this water should be poured on-this
by way of cleansing them. They
should then be put to soak in fresh
water and left overnight. In the
morning cook them gently for ten or
fifteen minutes in the water in which
they have soaked, allowing 1t to boil
down so that there is just enough
juice for the apricots. Just before
taking from the stove add sugar
enough to sweeten to taste. and wnen
they have cooled slightly pour them
into a fruit or other covered CON
tainer for future use. They are de-
licious served cool for breakfast in
stead of fruit. A very delicate dea-
sert is made by serving stewed april
cots with q sweet syrup over vanilla
ice cream.
Apricots can be made into several
delicious frozen desserts. The freez-
ing process brings out all their deli

PLAN A SOUP CARD.

One thing that the men who have
have kept their eyes open concerning
culinary matters. is that no French
woman thinks the days menu is COM
plete unless soup is served once. If
she be very poor, soup forms the main
course of the heartiest meal she pre-
pares; if she order an elaborate meal,
soup takes q relatively unimportant
place, as it does in most American
homes. But it is always in evidence.
There is much sense in the French
woman's ideas on soup. 1t is an easily
repared-comparati speaking, at
Ieast-easiIy digested and inexpensive
dish. AS spring weather comes on the
heavy stock soups of the winter will
seem too rich for constant fare; and
vegetable soups suggest themselves
as an alternative. Many can be made
from odds and ends of leftover veg
etableS. But a soup garden of yege-
tables near the kitchen door will
prove an ever-he1ping source of in
spiration to the housekeeper. When
the greengrocer has nothing but
shriveled peas to offer you, you can
go to your soup garden and pull up
! half a dozen fresh, bright carrots, in
the pink of condition for cream car
rot soup. When the lettuce in the
shops is withered, you can pull half
a dozen heads for lettuce puree. When
cold day makes heavy soup desir-
able you can gather handful of
soup green's" to add TO the stock pot,
or cut enough okra for broth.
The planting and nurturing of this
soup garden. too, will form pleasant
ten-minute- day diversion.
A bed six feet square could be made
| to supply vegetables for the whole
summers soups-after they have once
reached the stage when they can be
used. a lettuce bed, two by three feet,
where seedlings could be transplanted
TO head, or where seeds could be
thickly planted, and thinned out leaf
| by leaf, which is really almost as
good for soup as head lettuce, could
occupy one corner. Two tomato
plants could be set next to lettuce in
a space of the same size, and parsley
see. soaked for twenty-feur hours,
could be planted as a. border on two
sides of the tomato bed 4 six foot
row of carrots, and a six-foot row of
onions. each running the entire
length of the bed. would take up
another two feet of width Another
row could be devoted to okra and
turnips-about three feet of each.
Still another row could contain three
pepper plants-sweet green peppers
and a little sage, thyme and summer
sayory.
A soup garden of this size could be
easily kept free from weeds and
supplied with moisture in ten minutes

Timely Suggestions for the
March Hostess-Arranging a
Birthday Party-Cclebrating St.
Patrick's Day.

One busy housekeeper has a method
of attending to social duties without
strain upon her time or energy. Amy
event of Importance in her friends
lives calls for phone message from
her; she finds it less formal and
quicker than writing note and
shows sincere interest. When the
evening paper comes in, she scans the
social columns for the names of
friends If one is mentioned as hav-
ing returned from a journey, or is i'll,
she goes straight to the phone and
gives her a cordial greeting or word
of sympathy. whichever the case calls
for.
She does this early in the evening,
when the cali is not apt to be an in
terruption, and when people are moro
likely to be at home. She remembers
her friends fads and tastes, and when
reading a magazine or newspaper she
reads with half an eye for them and
half for herself. and sends to Il friend
a magazine or newspaper with an ar
ticle marked which She knows VIII
appeal to her interest. Another pret-
q long -stemmed flower with her card
instead of making a call.
Well people love flowers as much as
sick people do, and another advantage
is that lady doesn't have to be in
afternoon dress to receive either the
telephone or the flower greeting.
What calling she does at all is done
in summer, One trip serves to see a
lot of friends informally, and she
never apologies for not coming at
other times. The telephone cali. the
gift of a flower or choice seeds or cut
tings, the loan of ma gazine or book,
the sidewalk call the quick congratu-
lations or words of sympathy, all
these things help to keep friends
without causing anxiety, time or
/ trouble.
