FOR WOMEN FOLK. ————— 0 ———.—— HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES. Meet- of fhe black and. white checka are touched up with a bit of red or green. New Norfolks have yokes pointed eaoh side the front, from which dep-en-d long stole ends. Such a pretty challie has little leaves and flowers, primed all over it in soft Persian colourings. A pretty little French slipper has an embroidered and beaded vine running all the way around it. Perhaps it is not generally known that left-overs from a gelantine dish can be re- moulded. The jelly should be warmed just enough to melt, poured into a mould, and put in a very cold place. A good pie-crust for a person of weak stomach may be made by using sour cream instead of lard. Take half as much cream aa flour and add bicarbonate of soda in pro- portion of a teac-poonful to a half-pint of cream. To Understand Women "The older I get the more I am convinced that if men and women* are ever to under- stand each other it will be the woman that will have to do it all," observed a. bright woman the other day. As it 1". women understand men a great deal better than men understand women. Women are far more discerning and sympathetic than men, for one thimg: and. besides, men on their part are far simpler and less subtle than •women. If You are Grey It is said that this simple lotion will restore the colour to grey hair if taken in time: One ounce of tincture of a.ceta.te of iron, one pint of water, half an ounce of jflycerrae, five drams of sulphuret of potas- sium and four drops eaob of oil of cloves and oil of "lavender. Mix well, and have the bottle stand uncorked until the disagree- able odiaan from the potassium is gone, after which add the perfum-e oils. Apply to the wa,lp daily. Mush room Ramekins Cut the mushrooms in small pieces. Throw them art-it into boiiing water and then into cold to whiten th-am. Drain and fry them in little butter. When they are browned a little sprin kle in some flour and some chopped parsley. When the flour and batter are cooked and Men tied, pour in a. teacupfal of stock and simmer for ten minutes. Add the beaten yolks of an egg and a drop of lemon juice. Put into the ramekins with a few breadcrumbs on top and set aside until wanted, when it is only necessary to set them into the oven a few minutes in a pan of boiling water. Baby's Pretty Ears. When a. child's features seem to be grow. ing heavy, when the little ears grow outward too inquisitively, it is often less due to a fault on Nature's side than to some trick or habtt of t.1be child or iack of knowledge on the part of the mother or nurse. Many P-eoplc, are seen with protruding ears who ceed never have had this trying dis- figurernent if the position of their ears and this tende-gcy had been noted ia ehildihood. Tight ca-ps are often responsible fur pro- trudirg earn. That. if the eap is p-nt on and the little ear is bent outw-ard. This k; often the cause of long crying spells, which seem bo be otherwise unaccounted for. If the ba-by lies onhir. ea.r bent in the cap. the results are painful and loudly proclaimed. A chiid that is habitually on the left arm will often have a protruding right ear. This, is the effect of the little head leaning against' the mother or nurse with the ear bent in an uimatnral position. The Beginning of Fatness When a woman begins to get stout the change is first noticed in her cheeks. These grow fulT and round, and the fulness and the roundness are not of the girlish order. where plumpness is the prettiest of all .attractions. But the fulness is of the bulg- ing type. The fat creeps up under the eyes a,nd begins to close them. At the same time the chin begins to get double. A double chin is a positive blot upon the eountenance of any woman. It destroys the three attributes, each of which is abso- lutely essential to its beauty. The double chin destroys the oval of the face; it takes the Cupid bow from the mouth; and it dis- figures the lines of the throat and neck. These would be enough if there were no other disfiguring accompaniments to the double chin. But there are others. The double chin for one thing obliterates the lines of the throat, back, and shoulders, and brings the chest up too near the mouth. There is no other way to describe it. for, with the throat gone, there is that carious, ruddied appearance which the double chin always gives. Savoury ups I In no way can ttus smallest odds and ends of various things be used mere satiefacto- rily than in the making of soups even with- oat stock. Stock adds to the nutritive value in some cases, but at certain seasons of the year delicate cream soups are more accept- able if not more wholesome. Clear SOUDS—ccunsomme, bouillon, etc.-are less nourishing than stimulating, and for this reason are generally used at the begin- ning of a. long or hearty meal. The heavier soups may form the main dish of a lun- cheon or dinner. In the south of Germany they are served most acceptably for supper. 'When the soup is to form the main nourish- -ment it must not lack in that requisite. 1 Peas, beans, lentils. the various cereals, ■ as rice. barley, sago, farina, macaroni. ?i'n?Ie vog-pta?bi-ee or mixtures of many, all may be added i? ??-k. mik. or water to make soup. A cup of beans or peas with a. slice of .jknion, <,ne pint of mjk. and a little care make a delicious soup. One- fourth of a cup of chicken broth, with milk and rice. makes another. Meat should be vut through the chopper if it is to be served in the soup: vegetables chopped or cooked in water or stock and put through a sieve.
