I FOR r WOMEN FOLK. t—" m Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. A touch of some of the new silks and velvets is all that is needed to give a smart air to a plain gown. Once in every two or three weeks the burner of a lamp should he washed in strong soap suds or in soda. water. Many persons boil them in soda water, but it is hardly neces- sary. Miss Florence Haywood, of St. Louis, has been commissioned to select talented women of England and the Continent of Europe to represent their countries at the St. Louis Exposition. For eandwiches, chop boiled beef, tongue, and mushrooms together very finely; season with pepper and salt. Make it into a paste with French mustard, and spread between slices of thin bread and butter. It is possible, if proper care is exercised, to have laml)e almost odourless. The best lamp in the world for reading purposes is a sindent lamp. The first consideration in purchasing a lamp of any description is that it is safe. When using sardines for savouries the recipe generally directs that they shall be skinned. To do this just slip each one quickly in and out of boiling water, and you will be able to remove the skin quite easily with a knife. Take one quart of milk, and when nearly boiling mix in three tableepoonfuls of pure coffee, and let all boil up. Cover the pan and set on one side of the stove to steep for a quarter of an hour. Beat together five eggs, strain the coffee and milk, and add it to the eggs. Sweeten and pour into a greased mould and steam well. This gives coffee custard. Wrinkles Can be Avoided I vne ot tne prettiest women in London society is said to plunge a towel in very hot water, wring it out, and leave it on her face for half an hour every night before going to bed, and this lady has no wrinkles. Washing the face from the lower part to the top will delay the appearance of wrinkles. Coffee Buns I Three-quarters of a pound of flour, three trances of butter; rub the batter into the flour with the hand, then put in a table or dessert spoonful of yeast, two eggs well beaten, half- pint of warm new milk; mix all well together. Let them stand to lighten, then add three ounces of pounded lump sugar, and bake in' tittle tins. Boiled Lemon Pudding I Quarter of a pound of suet, one lemon, crumb of a half-quartern loaf, quarter of a pound of loaf sugar, two eggs, half a wine- glassful of brandy, same of sherry, half an ounce of citron peel, and twelve sweet almonds. Grate bread, add suet finely chopped, citron peel, and almonds cut finely or pounded. Beat eggs briskly for fifteen minutes, add brandy and sherry, beating briskly all the time. Then add the sugar- crushed—and, lastly, the juice and rind of the lemon. Mix well with dry ingredients, tie iown in a well-greased mould, and boil for tour hours.. Roast Duck I To roast the canvasback, red-head or mal- lard duck, select a fine fat fowl, pick, singe, and draw thoroughly and carefully; wipe out, and sprinkle the inside lightly with salt; cut an opening at the neck, and thoroughly draw the head and neck, letting the head emerge at the back between the drumsticks; truss it in place. Sprinkle salt and pepper on outside, place in a roasting pan in brisk oven, and cook eighteen minutes, basting frequently. Arrange on a hot dish, untrussed, add a few spoonfuls of white broth, garnish hominy and Jurrent jelly. One duck makes but two por- tions, as only the breast is served. Necessary in the Household Ammonia is of such. great value to house- hold matters that no housekeeper shortldfail to keep a supply always at hand. For instance, a few drops put into the bath water will make it most invigorating. Its uses in cleaning and removing grease are manifold. When a freshly-oiled sewing machine has left yellow stains on the fabric sewn these can be removed by rubbing them over with a little liquid ammonia and then washing in the ordinary way. Again, a teaspoonful of ammonia, in a cupful of water will clean gold or silver jewellery, and a few drops on the underside of a. diamond will clean it imme- diately and increase its brilliancy. When acid has been spilt on cloth and has taken out the colour ammonia should be applied to the spot, after which a little chloroform rubbed on will, in almost all cases, restore the ooiour. Always in Fashion I Fashion decrees that with most of our tailor-made dresses our hats should be in a sorrfesponding shade, but there is atill a great liking for black, and with our best frocks our picture hats should be black or all green. rhis is a safe rule which never alters; and It should be a consolation to the woman of limited means to know that the black hat, when of beautiful design, is always in fashion, and a joy for ever." There has been a decided feeling for plain tulle veils in brown, blne, and white, always treated in the American way, crossing at the back and tying in a bow in front. This is merely a fad of fashion, but at the same time it is a very becoming one. which has great advantages when the wearer is motor- ing or travelling. To bogin with, it keeps the bat on, and shelters the hair from the dust.
