THE HOUSEHOLD. Merita of the Tabouret Beceptacle—How to Make One-Dutch Suppers-An Open Apple Tart Mere Mention. The tabouret has the appearance of an oriental stool, both in shape and manner of decoration. The majority of the oriental pieces, however, serve but the one purpose, j that of a small table, while this is adapted to at least two. The New York Herald illustrates one, with the cover in raised position, disclosing pockets in the interior of the inclosure formed by the six sides. In these pockets shoes, rubbers and slippers may be kept in neat order. To make this tabouret obtain six pieces of pine boards, each 24 inches long and 7 inches wide, and another piece about 14 inches square. These boards should be not less than three-1 quarters of an inch thick and planed | on both sides. From a piece of cardboard cut a pattern to conform to the j shape of the bottom of each side and in „ ifii i B i ■S*V® ! i® ;. a t I AS \ jQjf ’mt it tabouret, with cover raised. lay it in the proper place at one end of each board in turn. Mark the board around it with a soft lead pencil and then with a compass saw cut on the line so the piece of wood corresponding to the size and shape of the pattern will be cut away. With a plane bevel each side of the boards so they will all fit together, edge to edge, and with glue and slim steel wire nails attach them securely together. From a piece of board cut a bottom to fit snugly inside the inclcsure and fasten it in place just above the openings at the lower ends of the sides by driving steel wire nails through the sides and into tbe edges of the wood bottom. From a large piece of wood cut a hexagon top to extend half an inch over the sides all around and provide it with two hinges attached to one side that can be screwed fast to the top of one of the sides of the body or receptacle. Upholster this top with curled hair and denim of some desirable color and catch it all around the edges with large, oval headed tacks, that may be driven through a gimp band to hide the raw edges of the material. The entire outside of the tabouret ie to be covered with the denim and held in place with oval headed brass upholsterer’s tacks having heads threeeighths of an inch in diameter. The tacks should be employed, as they afford a means of decoration quite as well as to hold the fabric in place. Pockets of denim can bo made and tacked fast to the inside of each side, and they should be made full enough to receive a pair of shoes nicely. The pattern at the front and the circles at the lower end of each side are formed with tacks, the heads of which will act as a broken line if they are driven close enough together.

The cover is prevented from falling back too far by a chain at one side, the , ends of which are attached to the underside of the cover and to an angle at the side of the receptacle. i ——■■■" Dutch Suppers. “Dutch suppers’’ are meeting with great favor, particularly for Sunday night teas where the hostess has only one maid. The New York Sun tells that the dishes for serving this supper should be as much as possible of the blue delft pattern. The menu includes imported frankfurter sausages dropped into boiling water in the convenient chafing djsh and closely covered until they float, which only requires a few i moments. Sauerkraut should be pre- j pared beforehand by scalding it and after draining putting it into a dish with a small piece of fresh pork and a little ■water, covering the dish closely and baking it several hours. These, with ; Dutch mustard, black bread or pumper- | nickel, potato salad, pickled red cabbage, pretzels, plenty of good cheese and fine coffee, will be a delight to friends, who will welcome such a change from the regulation Sunday suppers. An Open Apple Tart. Make a puff paste or good plain paste and line the sides of a cake ring, cut up apples (pared and cored) in fine slices, and lay them on the paste, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the apples and bake tbe tart in a good oven. When nearly done, beat up a quarter of a pint of thick cream with 4 eggs, 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar and a teaspoonful of cinnamon. Put the mixture over the tart aud replace it in tbe oven till done.
