Household Hints

The right way to peel onions Is
to begin at the root Of the onion,
peeling upward: the juice will not
then fly into your eyes.
When making an omolet do not
use too large a pan. The smallest
size obtainable is suitable for an
omelet containing two eggs. II
too large a one is used, the eggs
spreads and the omelet is thin and
tough.
Bones to be used for making
soup will remain in good condition
for several days II they are baked
for few minutes in a hot oven.
To clean tarnished silver,
moisten powdered magnesia with
cold water, apply to the article,
and let 1t dry. Rub off with a soft
cloth.
For cleaning plate, an old cork
dipped in a little moistened pow.
der is excellent. Egg stains on
spoons disappear II treated with
salt applied with a cork.
A vanished floor should never
be, washed with hot water: a
cloth wrung out in luke-warm
water Is best. and each piece
must be dried a. II " washed.

LAW AND COMMERCIAL TYPE
), WRITING. u. RI.

Joan Ayre, the youngest OF MISS
Puttock's employees, sat at the end
OF the farther row, her fingers tap
ping the keys of a Remington with
dizzy speed. She was not only the
youngest. but the prettiest girl in
the room:
1t was a charming. tender little
~ face that bent over the machine:
a face of a perfect oval. with a
clear. rather pale. skin that height
ened the redness of the curved
lips. Her fingers were very slen-
der and white. Her bright brown
hair was drawn back too tightly,
plated in a neat but attractive
mat at the back of her head. Her
blouse was of stiff linen, very plain
beside the startling confections
worn by the more dashing en-
ployes Of Puttock & Copes.
Presently Joan ceased tipping and
sat back with a little sigh. A visit
full, pensive expression came over
her face as though something had
happened which was puzzling her.
She fell into a brief day dream.
But day dreams were not per-
mitted in typing offices. and the
harsh voice of her employer called
her back to the present.
Miss Ayre! Come here, please,
and take Mr.. Mottisfont's instruc.
tons"
Joan rose hastily and crossed to
the desk, where stood the angular
Miss Puttock. beside a valued Gus
toner who had just arrived.
His entry was greeted by a slight
pause in the rattle of the ma
chimes for most Of the girls
glanced up from their work.
Philip Mottisfont, barrister-at-law,
was so strikingly good-looking and
almost miraculously well-dressed.
His clothes sat upon him naturally,
like the hide on a thoroughbred
horse.
He was TAN and well.built. his
features finely cut. his age not
more than thirty; short, yellow
hair, with a crisp ripple over the
temples. made him look younger
still. His eyes were light blue and
frankly supercilious, with an cx-
preston that bade his fellow-crea-
lures stand aloof. They were miti-
gated by a sensitive mouth.
Joan glanced at him little tim
idly. and her pale cheeks be-
came family pink. Mr.. Mottisfont
greeted her with a pleasant smile.
