ROSE BEADS.
From A. p, WdShinqtorl.l

For E. L. c.: When I was a child
my governess, a German woman,
was forever making rose beads"
and though I disliked the woman
intensely loved going to her rooms
on some errand for my mother be-
cause the rooms were so sweet.
The process, I think, is quite tire
some and very messy" and, need
less to say, many petals are needed.
My father permitted Fraulein to
select the blooms she needed from
the inconspicuous shrubs from
which the house was supplied.
Fraulein had meat grinder at
tached to a work table, and the
petals, detached from the rose, were
put repeatedly through this grinder
until a thick paste was formed. I
believe it had to evaporate a little,
as it was rather moist until it was
of a consistency to roll between the
fingers and form small balls which
she then impaled on long hat pins,
thus forming the holes for use later
in Stringing as well as offering an
upright medium for protecting the
beads until they dried. The drying
takes quite a few days, but I don't
remember just how many. Before
the beads were dry, Fraulein used
the round end of small hair pin
to impress designs into the paste.
A warning must be made that the
paste turns darker and darker and
is finally a sooty black and in all
stages stains rather badly; partic-
ularly the fingers.

CUCUMBERS WITH CHEESE;
CREAM SAUCE,


From Mrs. J. r. B., Orange.)
Being q born-and- bred Washing
tonian and Il am sure) one of the
charter members of the RICH,
could not leave it behind when we
moved down here in Virginia. So
continue to read my Star and the
Clearing House with much pleasure
and profit and, in common with so
many of you, like the recipes on our
page the best. Walking in another's
footsteps among the pots and pans
is the most fun of all.
AS I came from the kitchen this
evening after making some bread
and-butter pickles, and into house
redolent with the sweet-sour odor,
1 read Miss c. C's complaint about
too many picked cucumbers, and I
could sympathize with her! They
can be mighty tiresome. I looked
up some of my old Star recipes and
found the following, which sounds
grand. Why not substitute fresh
cream for sour and sprinkle the'
"cukes' with cheese?
Peel couple of "cukeS" and dice
them. You should have enough to
make 4 cupfuls. Cook in just
little boiling water in saucepan Cor
for a minute or two in a pressure
cooker. Don't drain off the cook
ing water. Add cup of sour cream
and a few caraway seeds. Season
with very little salt and pepper and
just heat through, but don't let it
get to boiling. Serve hot These
are delicious with fish or duck or
chicken.
Before 7 close may I add one more
suggestion which has proved an alb
solute lifesaver to me. I have al
ways loathed making cream sauce,
with it's resulting collection of as
sorted sized Jumps appearing about
rs per cent of the time. This is one
neVer-fail method:
Take about 70 of your milk and
warm it slightly on the stove. While
this is warming, put the other %
In jar with a tight fitting lid. Add
your flour to the milk, screw on your
top and shake hard for just long
enough to mix your -four and milk
1t doesn't take more than 80 Sec
onds. Then add your flour mixture
to your warmed milk and stir until
it begins to thicken. Add your lump
of butter, salt and pepper and cook
while longer. and there you are.
l was so delighted to see how
many times I could make perfect
cream sauce this way that I'm sure
I made it many a time just for the
pleasure Of seeing 1t come out 100
per cent.

CHERRY STAINS?

MANAGEMENT?
AFRICAN VIOLETS.

From Mrs. d. L., Washington
Does any one know where I might
get some information on manage
ment, expenses, ETC., of real estate?
The books I find at the library deal
with craftsmanship only.
I have some purple African violet
leaves if any one would care to call
for them (about 10, I guess. Also
some "Sagittaria" plants from my
tropical aquarium.

sos!
From Mrs. w. A. L., Coltons Point
This is one of the sos type of
appeals. For years l have made
stuffed animals and dolls for mis-
sions and church bazaars. Always
though, I've realized how quickly
the tinted muslin dolls would
lose their fresh beauty and soil.
A friend suggested I ask your help
as to some finish I might apply to
cloth faces to resist soil. Paint,
wax or what?
This is an urgent request as some
of the things are sent to DR.. Gren-
fell's mission in Labrador and last
shipment to that ice-bound country
is early in September.

know where directions could be
found for punch work, done with

TOURIST CABINS?

(FrOnl Mrs. Fl. w., ArEngtOn.j
Perhaps some one who has driven
to New England recently could tell
me what to expect in the way of
tourist cabin accommodations along
the way. I feel that I could man
age with my 10-month-old daughter
so much better in tourist cabins
than in hotels or tourist homes, but
have heard that the cabins are
rather scarce in the East. I plan to
buy one of the small ice chests as
suggested by one reader, but I am
wondering whether the daily pur-
chase of ice is a very great problem.
I have been considering taking the
baby's play pen to use as a crib, but
would like to hear from some of you
who may have tried this.
Some time ago contributor
praised the wire mesh-type of dress
form. However, have not been able
to locate one in Washington. Could
any one tell me whether they are
available locally?

grows profusely in Nova Scotia but
I have never seen it here. Neither
