need to get q hurry-up luncheon, near
| ly always make cheese timbsles and In
this way: Butter as many Individual
tim bale molds as there are people to
serve; slice into them small bits of
cheese till one.third full. Allow one
third cnpful Of milk for every two tim
bales, in the proportion of one cup of
milk to two eggs. Beat the eggs and
milk with salt and pepper to season
then pour II over the cheese, filling each
dish not quite to the top, since they
swell in cooking. Place the molds in q
pan of hot water, cover closely, and let
come to a boil. Next put small tin
oven over the second burner and slide In
some bread to toast. Just az soon as
the water around the timbales bols and
the custards begin to "set," remove the
pan, still covered, to the top tin oven,
where It continues 10 cook "a we'll az, II

sists of tho timbales garnished with pars.
ley and toast. II you serve the timbales
In the molds, you may use the milk and
eggs in the proportion Of one cup of
milk to one egg. Thus with a two
burner oil or gas stove, meal both ap.
peliz ng and nourishing Is prepared in q
remarkably short time.-Mrs. w. F.,

For the Eutertainer-A friend of mine
who entertsins great deal has lightened
the labor of serving by having light trays
of thin white pine made to fit her card
tables. These are finished with a mar.
row molding, then are stained. While
the last game is in progress, the trays
are laid with linen covers and served.
They are so light that the maid can
easily bring In one tray at time and
remove them when the refreshments
have been partaken OIL. q, Texas.
Washing Woodwork save time
when washing woodwork in my home
by using = piece Of tin about twelve
inches long to protect the wall paper
from the wet cloth. move 1t along the
wall above the board while I work. At
first tried card board, but the dampness
soon caused the paper to rub of, while
the tin lasts indefinitely.-E. NJ, Conn.
An Adjustable Apron-LoDg expert.
ence in selling aprons at q church fair
apron with strings Is the best seller.
But often the length OF the bib is not
right, and this causes the loss OF a sale.
At our last bazaar we made the bibs ad
Unstable. Each one was cut four inches
longer than the pattern and simply
basted In place on the belt. When q
prospective purchaser slipped 1t on, the
bib was properly adjusted and then i'm
medistely- stitched into place on tho
church sewing mschine.-Mrs. n. r. D.,
Washington.
To Strengthen Scallop-When but
ton-holing scallop on fine material, /
stitch around the entire soallopiug with
the machine. This strengthens and pre-.
vents any tearing between seallops. It
has proved q quicker way than any
have tfied.--Mrs. A.. j. Pr British |
Columbia.
A Sewing Help-Both time and trouble |
are saved by simply placing an ordinary
three-arm towel.rack above the right end |
of the sewing machine. On this rack |
can be hung the sewing-tape, ct oetera,
and pieces of unfinished goods which |
otherwise slip on the floor beneath the
machine. With this time-ssver, the
must be kept In It's permanent
position where the rack will always
serve it.-Mrs. A. E. NJ, New York. l.
To Darn Stockings-To the mother
who has her boys stockings to darn, let
me suggest real tlme-saver. Use black
