The grated rind of oranges makes fine flavoring for cakes and fillings. If dried it will be nearly as good. Add a tablespoonful of vinegar to tough chicken or any stewed meat; the flavor will not be noticed and the vinegar will soften the tough fibers of the meat. Nice buttons should never be left on a shirt waist that is sent to the laundry, or even done at home. Boiling does not improve the luster of a handsome button During the lovely summer days, those who have mending and sewing, should get it ready, doing all machine work at odd times so that the sewing may be done out of doors in the lovely June weather. For those of the many housewives who h.a've to depend on inferior cream, the use of viscogen is a boon. Viscogen is not found in the store, but Is easily made, and if kept in the dark will keep for years. The resourceful woman has learned that by adding to her work she lessens it. that is by preparing a larger quantity of food that is keepable, which takes no longer than to prepare a small amount, she saves herself much work. Spices for flavoring soup, called a "soup bag,” are made with three cloves, six pepper corns, four mustard seeds, three branches each of parsley, thyme and basil, a fourth of a teaspoonful of celery seed. Tie all these in a round of cheesecloth. On the days when the work is lightest is the time the forehanded woman provides for the future, getting raisins ready for cakes or pudding, breaking the macaroni and grating the cheese, so that it may be quickly prepared when the time for it comes. When using a thin cream which refuses to whip, add a fourth of a teaspoonful of the vlscogen to* threefourths of a cup of cream; stir well •while adding, and then whip as usual. The results will well repay one for the trouble of making the viscogen. To make vlscogen dissolve five ounces of sugar in ten ounces of water. Add six ounces of cold water to two ounces of quicklime, and let it gradually slake, then strain through a fine sieve, and combine the two liquids and shake occasionally for two hours. Set the mixture aside to settle, then pour off the clear liquid. Store in small bottles with tight corks, as the liquid absorbs carbonic acid from the air, which darkens it and reduces its strength. )
