The KITCHEN GABINET

■bndr V, •9E \ iKjWsV Let my advj.ee on your friendship glimmer— Print all his faults In nonpareil But publish his virtues In big long primer. —Robt. Burdette. V MEMORY JOGS. Plain walls are best for a small room and a good background for pictures. Dates stuffed with left-over icing flavored with lemon juice, are a most acceptable sweetmeat. Good for the lunch box. i If you have a faded paper, with no red or runny colors, a coat of calcimine over it will make a fresh wall decoration. Plain white cheesecloth with a strip of some color to harmonize with the room makes most dainty curtains for a bedroom. Left-overs cannot he carelessly seasoned and be at all palatable. They need more careful seasoning than do the fresh dishes. If you have an unsightly fence or building, cover it with the wild cucumber vine. It will grow in sun or shade, and is a graceful vine, adding beauty to any place. Don’t throw away' a little left-over boiled frosting, as It can be kept soft If set In hot water. A few nuts and' raisins chopped added to It and drop on wafers, bake to a light brown, and you have a nice little cake to serve with a cup of tea. Pid you ever notice that we usually do the things we want very much to do? We are bound to find time for them. Are you house-cleaning and the violets In bloom? Just keep in mind that dirt we always have with us, but violets come but once a year. Keep an eye out for the delicious mushroom, learn a few and have a dainty dish served at least once a week. Early in May the bonny little caps appear with their frills of pink and lavender, and they last until the freezing frosts of the autumn.
