in these rugs in the Clark collection

will not take up with that which Is

Mr.. Kellogg, and Mrs. Kellogg, by de
Laszlo painted abroad when Mr.. Kel-

You may prefer to make the little

following recipe which will make about
two dozen. The cakes will keep for a
long while If put between layers of
waxed paper in q tin box. To make
them, sift one and one-half cups of
-four with one teaspoon of baking pow
der, one-half cup Of powdered sugar,
one-eighth teaspoon of salt. Rub In
one-third cup of shortening until the
mixture is very thoroughly blended.
Then add one well beaten whole egg
and an additional egg yolk. II neces-
sary add little milk to form q dough
that can be easily nodded into small
balls. These balls should be about
one-half inch In diameter. Flatten
slightly on the top, press half q blanch-
ed almond into each ball and brush
with beaten egg white. Place on
creased pan and bake in a very mod
crate oven-325 to $50 degrees-for 20
minutes or until pale tan in color

Touches to Your Favorite Dishes.

! but sometimes the milk is too sour or
too fresh, so try this method.
If at any time you have more biscuit
! dough made up than you care to cook,
grease a piece of heavy waxed paper,
| such as comes in cracker boxes, and
securely roll the dough in it. Put in
the refrigerator and it will keep for two
| hard, dry crust on top. 1t can then
be easily worked into fresh dough.
To freshen bread. dampen a frying
pan. invert a pie plate over 1t, put your
rolls or bread on the plate, cover with a
close-fitting bowl to retain the heat,
and steam. Leave over slow fire for
five minutes and the contents will be
as fresh and hot as If they had just
| been baked.
When you are frying pancakes, place
a bowl or boiler, with a close-f1tting
cover, over a kettle of hot water on the
back of the stove. AS you cook the
cakes, place them in the bowl or boiler,
with a lump of butter, replacing the
cover each time. You will then have
delicious hot cakes when the family as
sembles for breakfast without the extra
trouble of bringing them to the table
so often.
10 not throw away the crusts trim
med from sandwiches. Sprinkle little
salt on thom and toast them in a quick
oven. You will then have a delicious
substitute for crackers, to be served
with soups or salads.
Other Helpful Hints.
To secure a special flavor in hot cocoa
or chocolate, add about half teaspoon
full of vanilla f1avoring to a pint of the
drink. This should be added just after
the milk has been added. Then beat
the cocoa with an egg beaten. Beating
the cocoa keeps scum from forming
on top after 1t has boiled.
II oil rises on the surface Of mayon-
naise dressing that Is left standing, dip
it on with q spoon instead of trying to
stir it in. After the dressing is made.
stirring injuries the quality and tends
to make more oil separate and rise on
top.
When mixing q gelatin dessert, it is
wise to mix 1t in O wide-mouthed
pitcher, then the gelatin may be poured
into the sherbet glasses or nolds easily
without splitting.

located near the city.
Early in the morning, before most
OF the city is awake, the caravans begin
hauling their wares. The old Farmers
Market was a picturesque place during
the early hours before daybreak. This
aided the wholesale buyers and huck-
sters materially The farmer would
often be sold out before the business
day began In one sense their early
departure made it difficult for house
wives to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to purchase the fresh produce,
which was probably picked the day
before the sale. Through scientific
refrigeration, however, most of the
shipments can be depended on to con-
tain excellent quality. The distance does
not affect the products. Even storage
fruits and vegetables can scarcely be
told from fresh-plucked goods.

Not long ago went to an afternoon
tea where the food that was served
was rather novel, in that 1t was made
up entirely Of Chinese delicacies. It
seemed to me that the idea was one
that was worth passing on to those Of
you who wish to do things in just a
little different manner, or who wish
sometimes to serve an especially at
tractive tea.
In the first place the tea table was
covered with a cloth of Chinese linen;
a bowl Of plum blossoms was used as
q decoration at the back of the tea
table. Chinese tea was served-pale
golden in color and delicately scented
with jasmine blossoms. This is the
ceremonial tea that Is usually served,
though of course II you do not care
for the flower flavor, there are the
plain teas to choose from.
Chinese tea Is served without milk
or sugar for those who want to truly
enjoy its flavor, but lemon, sugar and
milk had best be provided for most
American tastes. Thin rice waters and
tiny little almond cakes made up the
solid food. and golden preserved lines
and the deeper orange of preserved
cumquats furnished color and provided
sweet. These fruits may be inpaled
