ALL AROUND the HOUSE

A clothes tree on which to hang unfinished garments ls a great convenience in a sewing room. Do you know that by turning a cauliflower head downward it cooks more quickly and improves In flavor? A favorite dish at a certain tea room consists of pate shells/fllled with a mixture of chicken livers and mushrooms in a cream sauce. When powdered sugar gets hard run It through the food chopper. This is an easier way of breaking up the lumps than using a rolling pin. To thicken gravies for pot roasts or stews put a piece of brown bread in with the meat. When you go to make the gravy rub it up for the thickening. Clotheslines may be washed by winding them on a long board, then scrubbing them with a brush. This prevents them from tangling and makes them easy to wind once they are dry.
