THE GEORGIA CRACKER
GAINESVILLE, GA
ALL OVER THE HOUSE,
ture sketched in an 'English paper.
A tall cheval glass has before it a
low square seat and at one side a
double tier wicker table with a wide
arching handle, used often as a nee-
dlework table, but in this instance
holding the impedimenta of the
dressing table, brushes, combs, mir
rors, bottles and the like. The
frame of the glass, the seat and the
frill around the upper shelf of the
table were of cretonne matching the
hangings of the room. This ar
rangement is to be recommended
where space must be considered and
is of value also in securing the best
possible light for hairdressing, a3
the seat and table are easily shifted
about the room when not in use.

“I don’t see why they call you the
star boarder," complained the fellow
who always got the wing.
“That’s easy," replied the other
in his copyrighted superior style.

How to Make a Delicious Salad Out of
a Pineapple.
Pew people are aware that owing
to the cultivation of pineapples for
medicine they may be found, ripe,
high flavored and inexpensive, even
during wintry weather. For 10 cents
one was bought recently that be
came the foundation for a salad “fit
for the gods." When it is remem
bered that invalids who crave meat
and hitherto have been denied it on
account of its bad effects in certain
diseases are now allowed it if eaten
in conjunction with this delightful
fruit. It is not to be wondered at, as
it takes a higher gastronomic place
than every For the salad choose a
tender, juicy pineapple.* Mind that
it has bouquet. If not just ripe,
keep it until satisfactory^ as every
thing depends on due ripeness. Peel
the fruit and cut in dice. Avoid
sugar. Prepare a nice head of let
tuce and spread fruit on the heart
leaves in the center of the bowl.
Add a little celery, also cut in dice,
if liked. At the last cover with a
thick mayonnaise and serve with
saltine biscuits. Unless the fruit
has a full pineapple aroma the salad
will hot be a success,, and as it is
when this fruit is too ripe to keep
well that it may be bought cheap it
is a luxury the home caterer who
watches the market properly may
allow, though she mast use strict
economy. . • '

For a Cough.
This homemade medicine will of
ten loosen a hard cough: Pour one
cup of cold water over two ounces
of pulverized gum arabic and two-
thirds of a cup of sugar. Put two
heaping tablespoons of unbruised
flaxseed to steep in three cups of
cold water. Set in a hot place, but
not where it will boil, says a writer
in Good Housekeeping. When this
grows thick, strain it over the sugar
and gum arabic, which ought to be
like a thin jelly. Add the juice of
two lemons. Take a tablespoonful
every half, hour till the cough be
gins to loosen.
Serving Grape Juice.
Grape juice for a first course at
luncheon may be served in a lemon
cup. The top of the lemon is cut
to form a cover, the meat of the
shell being entirely removed. Into
this is put the grape juice flavored
with a little of the lemon juice, the
top restored, a perforation made in
it permitting two straws to be in-,
serted, a tiny ribbon bow ,tied round
them at the point of insertion.
Through these without removing
the cover the contents of the lemon
cup are taken.
