The Housewife

Weak spots in a black slik waist may be utrengthened by stickiug court piaster underneath. Bread and cake bowls, or any dishes in which ilour and egg bave been used, are more easily cleaned if placed iu cold water after using. For frying always put a pound or two of fat in the pan. This is no waste, as the same fat eau be used over and over by pouriug it through a straiuer into a crock kept lor the purpose. The cardinal rule in a kitchen is to clean tip as you go, and if attended to this saves half the laborïind fatigue cooks suffer trom who pursue the old method of having a grand and comprehensive "clean up." No matter how large the spot of oil, any carpet or woolen stuff can be cleaned by applying buckwheat plentifully, brushing ie into a dustpan after a short time and putting on fresh until the oil has disappeared.
