An egg beater should never be left to soak in water, as the oil will be washed out of the gears, making it hard to turn. In baking bread and rolls put a saucepan of boiling water into the oven. The steam will keep the crust smooth and tender. To keep milk toast from becoming soggy serve the boiling buttered milk in a covered pitcher, so that each one may pour it himself over his toast. If the collar bands of the shirtwaists are left unstarched by the laundress the necks of the waists will not break so early as they ordinarily do. By adding the left-overs of kidney beans, peas or cold potatoes to flaked Salmon and mixing all with a good dressing, an excellent salad may be made. Most housewives use the broom dishcloth, made of cord attached to a handle, which is vastly mord"convenient that the'old method of immersing the arms to the elbows. To clarify sugar put sugar and water on to boil. Mix the white of an egg with a little cold water, add to the boiling syrup, bring to the boiling point, skim, strain and let cool. A souffle should never be put into a very hot oven. It crusts over on top -MEHme to bakeproperly inside, and is likely to fall as soon as it comes from the oven.
