The KITCHEN GABINET

V Y F SHAPE oursejves the joy or V ” fear Of which the coming life Is made, And fill our future’s atmosphere With sunshine or with shade. HELPFUL HINTS. A pine pillow or sweet grass basket may be renewed by steaming them. Paint may be removed from window glass by the application of hot vinegar. , Turpentine will take ink stains fjom the most delicate fabric. Soak the stains over night or longer. Sew lead weights Into the hems of table covers or runners used on a porch. The wind will not disturb them. A nice delicacy for luncheon is a crisp cracker spread with cottage cheese and garnished with a cherry on top. X When carrying a freshly-frosted cake, put a few toothpicks into the cake to keep the covering from sticking to it. Dainty littje baskets for flowers or favors may be made from old straw hats. These will delight the children, and they may help to make them. If you have any faded roses or other flowers that need refreshing, use a little water color paint and a brush. The results will more than please. When preserving peaches, take the broken bits and can together. Thia may be used (put through a rlcer) for Ices, Ice creams and other desserts. The disposal of garbage In country places and small towns where no provision for Its removal Is made, Is a constant worry. All substances which decompose may be put Into a small hole In the-garden, and after the hole Is filled cover with dirt and. forget all about it, nature will do the rest. Tin cans, glass and crockery cannot be thus disposed of, as they are unsightly. A hole In the ground Is a good place for them if there are any hollows and holes to be filled. Filbert Butter.—Remove the coarse threads from hazel or filbert nuts and put through the meat grinder, thed pound with a pestle In a wooden bowl until smooth. Cream as much butter as there Is of the pounded nuts, add the nut paste gradually; season with paprika and use for sandwich filling.
