The tough fibre of a pineapple can be broken and the fruit made tender by cutting it in slices and peeling them as thin as possible. • If you use asbestos plates on your kitchen range and they have become blackened, sprinkle them liberally with salt and allow them to become very hot. The result should prove to be satisfactory. To restore scorched linen, extract the juice from two onions and add one-half ounce of white soap, two ounces of Fuller’s earth and a half-pint of vinegar. Boil this mixture well and spread it over the scorched spots, leaving it to dry on the article. Rinse very thoroughly to remove all odor. A white beaver hat can be nicely cleaned with a mixture of equal-parts of French chalk and powdered magnesia. Sprinkle it well into the beaver and allow it to remain at least a day. Then brush and shake out thoroughly. Where the hat is badly soiled it may be necessary to repeat the operation. Cranberries will remain fresh indefinitely if the jar containing them is placed in some other vessel filled with water that is always kept cool. 7 Always, when cooking vegetables, place them in cold water. If they are put into hot water much of their flavor will be lost. Perspiration stains may be removed with a solution of oxalic acid and water in a proportion of one drop of oxalic acid to twenty drops of water. 7 Always empty out any water left before filling your kettle and it will do no harm to rinse it as well. The sediment in water settles and your kettle will become coated with it if not looked after. The best way to warm over a joint of meat is to wrap it in paper thickly greased and keep it covered while in the oven By this means the steam will prevent the meat from becoming hard and dry. ® . A very simple method to remove dirt marks from a raincoat is to cut a raw potato in slices and rub it well on the marks. Mud stains on skirts and coats will also disappear under this application. To make a good cup of tea and one not likely to bring on an attack of indigestion after partaking it, always use freshly boiled water. \\ ater that has simmered on the stove for a time is unwholesome and is likely to give the tea an unpleasant taste. The same rule should be followed in making’ coffee. A hot lemonade in which there is no sugar is an’excellent cure for biliousness or a bilious headache. • ..

The feet should receive as much or more attention than the hands as they are worked harder.

fgfUHITOFAHcW £ ■NE/w .Noti area ! Earrings are again coming into SSS fashion and the latest are composed J of seed pearls, with ten or eleven M strands hanging from a diamond top. .tl 1 hese earrings were designed in n Paris and are now being worn by be many fashionable women. I There is something new in coiffures. It is described as "the helmet” and comprises a chignon raised from the nape of the neck, round in form and I assuming the aspect of a helmet. Petticoats worn with evening frocks are now frequently made of white crepe de chine with lace ruf- 1 fles. The long Moujik blouse is very attractive and captivating when worn by tall and slender women. It is made of various materials and frequently of brocaded velour. Some of the new blouses of crepe de chine have combination collars which can be laced high at the throat or turned low. Some very original ideas in bride’s and bridesmaid’s dresses have been seen recently. At a wedding only a short time ago the bridesmaids wore shepherdess costumes of flowered silk, with full panniers and fichus of shadow lace to match. With their black plush hats their appearance was charming and in pleasing contrast to the fashion of the day. Most of the new spring hats are charming, and at present green and black are the favorite colors. Green straw crowns with black rolled or fancy brims or green brims with black crowns. Millinery of green and bright colors will be much worn. For little folks the sash will be a feature of spring styles. With a blouse it is used in quite a novel way, tied in a double bow with two ends hanging at the left side and near Hie front. ■kF -1 Kut | Hl f * : wB ■ BR^*****^ **■ . — •** * Copyright International News Service.
