paper, leaving sufficient margin all
around so that IL may be easily

Here Are Some of the Lovely Things That You
Can Make With Ribbon as the
Inspiration and Foundation

boudoir caps making use OF ribbon.
One is the sort that begins with a little
circle OF lace formed by drawing lace
edging into circle. Then row OF
ribbon comes--the inner side OF the
circle OF ribbon gathered slightly to
make It'll circle. Then comes another
row OF lace, fits straight inner edge
slightly gathered. And so on until the
cap is large enough. The edges are
drawn in and finished or with a rdfi'e
OF lace or loops OF ribbon or n row OF
tiny flowers. There Is another boudoir
cap made with center circle and an
outer rufIie of crocheted lace, with
band OF wide. gathered ribbon between.
and narrow ribbon run through holes
In the outer ruffle OF lace.
All sorts OF bags can be made of rib
bon. from the big bag to hold mending
and knitting TO the tiny party bag &c
hold a handkerchief and powder pun.

HoU to Keep Bread and Cake
The Kind Makes Difference, and There Is Such
Thing as Being Expert in the Matter

IS good thing TO remember. too--that
sometimes n thick. soft frosting put on
a cake that was unfrosted TO begin
with freshens II, or at least seems to.
Fruit cake should be cooled before st
Is taken from the pan. and SO should
similar rich cakes containing much
fruit or nuts like Dundee cake. The
sogginess that results IS an additional
attraction in such a cake. And this
sort OF rich cake is better kept in ar
old-fashioned stone crock than in 4
tin box. Such cake, too. if II is to be
frosted-and many cooks never frost
fruit cake-should be frosted only after
Il has stood q while. In the case OF
fruit cake. il should really preferably
stand a couple Of weeks before srosting
A nut cake. like Dundee. may be
frosted the next day after baking, al
though usually such a cake is not
frosted al all
For Cookies.
Sugar cookies. which are OF a GRUMPY
nature, should be placed while hot in
an earthen jar IN which a linen cloth
or towel kept for the purpose has been
folded, on the bottom and around the
sides Thus kept, sugar cookies are
most delicious. Cookies of the very
crisp sort should be thoroughly cooled
in a warm, dry place, and then put IL
an alright box. One good cook keeps
crisp cookies in one OF the pans which
came originally for her fireless cooker
those aluminium dishes with the cover
that clamps on. She bought an extra
one. OF the large size. especially foi
this purpose.

GRAVY FOR THE BABY.

Gravy rs not supposed to be whole
some for children. II is too rich, too
greasy, and the cooked -four in il IS
not sufficiently and properly cooked for
them. Nevertheless children like It.
This is the way one nurse prepares
so-called gravy for her small charges:
She makes beer or mutton or chicken
broth, and pours II into a bowl to cool.
When 1t is cold she takes off the
grease. which has become solid, She
gets off every bit OF grease. Then
she heats the broth. which is a little
stronger than she would serve for
soup, and thickens it with a little ar
rowroot and navors II with salt. It is
really thickened soup. but the children
like il with their vegetables and will
often eat it m1,en they grow ti.ed OF

What would our New England
friends OF generation ago have
thought OF our modern habit OF frost

just modern Innovation One thinks
1t is a modern innovation. and one
wonders IL mans taste for sugar In
these more or less dry days makes the
many shops selling coffee and crul!ers
sweet because they are rolled in
sugar even II they are not frosted-so
popular in the big cities.
