washed, be it said), it also retains those
possibilities which of flavor and flouriness of

very best to rob it. Dill'went sorts need
different treatment, but it may be takeu
as a general axiom that potatoes should
boil till they may be easily pierced by a
fork, and that after every smallest drop
of water has beeu carefully and studiously
drained away from them, they should be
steamed for only three or four minutes
over a hot fire and well shaken during
this process. Thev should then be served

Quilts are so popular now that a good

writer in the Housewife. The beautiful
