I have a reception hall, living room, dining room and music room. How should I decorate each room, and which will be the best for the bride %0 be in when she is receiving her gifts? As I expect to have from forty ¥0 fifty guests, I can not seat them at the table. Should cards of any kind be used when passing the refresh ments? . What would be a pretty way in jbringing the gifts to the bride? I have a little girl two years of age, with long golden curls, whom I thought could ®elp in this, or is she too small? If mot, how should I have her dressed? Please excuse my many questions, but I have another one which has puz zled me. When you have been introduced to a friend and when you or they are ready #0 part and they say, “I am glad I met you,” what is the correct answer %0 give them? 1 hope you will have my answers in the paper soon. A Young Wife. You need no decoration save the flewers in season, and if you have potted plants place them where they s#how the best. Arrange the flowers #imply, in vases, bowls and baskets; place them on the mantels, in front of #@replaces, on the piano and on the porches. I should say that the living »00m would be the best place for the de and the guests, as it is doubt ess the largest. You do not need ace cards unless you seat the guests t small tables and serve all at once. am afraid the little two-year-old will too young to assist. When you ish to reply .to the remark men oned, just say, “1 am sure the pleas e is mutual; I'm glad I met you, " There are no set phrases for vertain occasions; just be your own ilatural self. Perhaps you could place nll the parcels in a flower and rib iboned tie basket and let the wee @aughter drag it in by white ribbons to the bride-elect. From an Olld Subscriber. Having enjoyed reading your depart ment ever since it began, I now seek wour advice. About a month or more ago I met a Jady who lives not far from us. Later, mother met her. The lady has lived n the neighborhood several years long er than we, but hasn't called on us yet. She has a daughter whom I have never met and who has been away to sehool and recently returned. As I would like to meet the daugh wer, should I call on her first or wait for her to call on me in a case liks this? Is a girl of eighteen too young to have visiting cards, and if she is the only daughter how should they be en graved. A Subscriber. i s © M you have been reading our de partment all these years you certainly deserve to have all your questions an swered and I invite you to come as often as you choose. Seems to me I would run in to see the daughter informally, if you are neighbors; it does not pay to stand too much on ceremony. A girl of eighteen I 8 not too young to have her own cards and they should be engraved just *Miss Smith,” no initial and no name. ‘This shows that she is the only or ¢ldest daughter, For a Lawn Party. Will you suggest something enter waining for a lawn party for boys and #irls between the ages of twelve and fifteen? Our club of seven wishes to entertain as many boys. The decora: +dons are pink and green; flower, pink carnation. We have small funds to work with, but will be ever so much obliged for any help. Secretary. I am sure you can arrange a beauti ful time. Have the ice-cream in pink and green, with small cakes frosted #n the same colors. Give each one a pink carnation to wear. Then have a match game of croquet, and if you nre very good, won't “mother” see to having a prize ready for the winners? ‘Perhaps you have a tennis court; if 80, & game could he arranged. All out doer sporis are in favor, including the good old game of archery. 8 ss 1 Soup Course at Dinner, I have the soup course in a “prog ressive” diuner party. Kindly tell me it moup Is the only thing included in this course or if celery, olives or bread ie served with it? A Reader. Serve wafers or bread sticks or the yfitle dinner biscuit with the soup, also elives, radishes and celery if you can et it small and tender. MME. MERRI, METHODS THAT WILL BOTH REN OVATE AND PRESERVE. Use Spirits of Wine, With Warm Wa. ter, to Freshen Satin—Proper Care of Glass—Washing Soda for Silver, To Clean Satin.—Take equal propor tions of spirits of wine and warm wa ter, sponge the satin on the right side with this, working down the material and not across it. While still damp, iron on the wrong side. Another plan is to clean the satin with the following mixture: Four ounces of honey, the same quantity of melted soap mixed with one egg and one wineglass of gin, using a stiff brush. When the satin appears clean, rinse in cold water; press between clean cloths to dry or hang up to drain. Iron while still damp, and thorough ly dry before folding. ; Care of Glass.—There is nothing that repays one more for careful wash lnq rnd drying than glass. First one must have a bowl of warm water soft ened with dissolved soap, which makes a very good lather. Too hot water should not be used, as it might crack the glass. Have a bowl of clean water to rinse the glass in after washing it and if a very fine polish be desired on it have a third bowl of cold water with a little ammonia in it. Wash each article sep arately, rinse it well, and dry with a soft glass cleth, which should be made of linen or little, fluffy particles will stick to the glass and spoil the ap pearance. When it is washed and dried polish with a leather kept for the glass, or with a silk handkerchief or with some soft tissue paper. How to Clean Silver.—Have an alu minum pan containing about two gal lons of cold water. In this dissolve a piece of washing soda about the size of an egg, and heat the solution to boiling point. Drop into this the sil ver to be cleaned, taking care to keep the whole at boiling point. Let the silver soak for three or four minutes. Lift out with a wire spoon or long handled fork, wash in hot soap suds and wipe quickly with a perfectly dry towel. The pieces 80 _cleaned will be as highly polished as when new. This process will neither injure plated nor solid ware. When all the silver is finished, if there are any pleces that do not look white and clear, rub them with a little dry whit ing and a dry duster; then polish off with a soft, dry cloth. To Wash Feather Boa.—Prepare a soap lather and one or two lukewarm rinsing waters. Place the boa in the soap lather and wash it by squeezing between the hands till quite clean. Rinse it well io take out all the dirty water and soap. When this is done, squeeze the wa ter out of the feather and roll in a cloth, which will absorb the moisture. Take hold of the boa by the ends and twist each in the opposite direction, thus glving the natural twist to the boa. Fasten a piece of tape to each and tie these to a line to prevent the twist from becoming undone. Shake the boa to separate the fronds, and leave it until quite dry, occasionallly shaking it to keep the fronds apart. The drying process should be done in & warm place, so that it will dry quickly, and the fronds thus become fluffy, when it is ready for curling. Cream Hash. Chop veal or beef as fine as for hash, fry for a few minutes in salt pork drippings. Take from the fire; in the same frying pan make a rich, well-seasoned cream gravy if cream is possible; if not, use milk, thicken ing with cornstarch and adding a gen erous lump of butter. Pour half of the gravy into a pan over the fire, thin it with hot water, dip in slices of well-browned toast, then lay the moistened toast in a flat dish and set in a 8 warm place. Into the thick cream gravy put the minced meat; cook it five minutes and spread it on the toast. Delicious. Pumpkin Chips. Eight pounds pumpkin cut in thin and rather small pieces, four lemons sliced very thin, five cents’ worth of ginger root, five pounds granulated sugar. Put this all together and let stand all night. Next day bolil it four hours, then take from stove, let stand until cold, put in jelly glasses and cover with paraffine. This is especial ly good at breakfast, as it makes an inexpensive and very palatable mar malade.—Home Department, National Magazine. Add Lemon Juice. When using beef or mutton drip ping instead of butter for pastry try beating it to a cream with a squeeze of lemon juice. This will take away the taste that some people object to in dripping made pastry and makes it beautifully light and erisp. Rubber Cake, One cup sugar, one and a bhalf cups flour; one cup sour milk; one-half tea spoonful soda; two teaspoonfuls cin namon, one teaspoonful cloves, yolks of two eggs; beat all together and bake in a quick oven. | To Clean the Carpet. ~ If your carpet or rug is badly soiled, take a basin of water, put in three or four teaspoonfuls of ammonia, wash thoroughly and dry. This does not hurt the carpet. MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER B ~ e/ % 4‘:‘ ° ,'"J"" %9‘ " (% ‘% R ,_ " "‘ p‘ S 3 I O 2 e SATE o ’:s‘ B AGellNe” p i I@ﬂ] ol BMUHUE < The most scrupulous cleanliness is | needed for the hezlth and beauty of the feet, and so a daily bath and a comfortable supply of stockings are required. The best results are ob tained by putting on a fresh pair of stockings every day, and in case of profuse perspiration they should be changed at least twice a day. If the stockings are -waghed out immediate ly upon being taken off, six pairs would make an adequate summer sup ply. Silk is undoubtetdly the best stocking material for hot weather, this being cooler to the feet than cotton and permitting the shoes to slip on more easily. Gauze cotton is the next best thing in point of softness to the foot, and three pairs of quite fine stock ings in this material can be had for | one dollar. Lisle, even in the finest qualities, is to a certain degree rasp ing to the foot, causing often, besides, a most disagreeable.burning. Women in the smart set go to the pedicure for the removal of corns and callouses, but these afflictions can be treated at home and there are special baths for softening the horny places and for resting all the feet. One is made with ordinary washing soda— about a half cupful to a gallon of wa ter—this being for softening the cal louses preparatory to their removal with a knife or file or pumicestone, for all of these tools are used. A bath with a pound of sea salt will harden and strengthen the feet. Camphor is useful for massaging, thus reducing swelling, while massaging the feet and ankles every night with olive oil,‘ will, as the beauty saying is, keep them youngz. All care lavished upon the feet tends to keep them in good condition, even if the work consists only of a dainty polishing of the toe nails. When these are neglected they harden and coarsen, sometimes chang ing their nature and shape entirely. Before ministering to tormenting corns, bunions and callouses the feet must always be soaked in a softening bath, after. which they should be scrupulously dried at every point— particularly between the toes—and. then powdered. A good and cooling foot powder, by the way, is one of the greatest comforts one can have in summer, and there is scarcely a drug store that does not keep ‘several brands of it. A foot powder which can also be used to advantage on per spiring hands, and which is very con venient for gloves, is made after this formula: SEDENIC BOME ...\ ik ssiivinii A 0 grame PIGBNOL, |, il iiGiiviiainiisot . D BTN BARPON i et enrenincnian e 200 BTEINS Florentine orriB ...b.ccseevees-ee..150 grams Henence .of violet i iicviniiiess 2 gTAMSE Dissolve the acid in alcohol: add the violet essence, then the starch and orris root. A special powder for perspiring feet is made of one ounce of alum, two ounces of powdered orris root and five ounces of rice powder. Where the pergpiration has an unpleasant odor, however, a powder with lycopodium is better than any other, and such sorts are kept at all drug stores of any size, this condition being recognized as something of a disease, - After the bath, attend to the corns ior callouses at once, trimming the 'nails only as often as is needed. They l should be cut square across and left ~a little longer than the flesh. If there are soft corns, several foot baths a : day are needed, also larger shoes, and in extreme cases it may be necessary to place bits of absorbent cotton wet with some healing lotion or salve be 'tween the toes. For relief from blis ters the excessive pain of corns and ;other callosities, this simple pomade ' is highly recommended: Melted mutton tallow ............1%4 ounces | Mugwort, freshly gathered and L RPTIRBE Lt i v nvanissakeas S drams ~ Mix thoroughly and rub the whole foot with it, massaging it well into the skin. } A good bunion lotion is made of two |drams each of carbolic acid, glycerin and tincture of iodine. Flatfoot is a condition much recog nized just now, and in severe cases it is as deforming as lemeness. It is not always recognizable at first, only the pain and difficulty in walking be ing perceptible; but after a while the arch of the foot breaks down and then the beauty of it is gone. So when feeling a definite pain in the instep it is wise to wear strong-soled shoes with a stiff spring in the instep, as these will counteract the weak ten dency of the arch. Inner soles with high arches are also sold for the pur pose, while doctors recommended foot exercises for strengthening the mus cles of the arch and its supports. But, to go back to the mere com fort of summer time, the simple things ' one may do to have more ease with | feet whose only failing, maybe, comes ' with hot weather, extreme cleanliness and proper dressing are the things of vital importance. All exercise upon the feet, too, will improve their con l dition and beauty, while the mere heat iof the hands, while massaging with ! some unguent or other, will be an im ! mediate relief to strained and tired muscle - SAVE WORK ON SEWING DAY Here Is a Boiled Dinner Satisfying and Appetizing and Easy to Get Up. The working housekeeper who, be sides, makes her own clothes, knows the misery of getting meals on sewing days. If there is a large family the dinner is the most difficult to prepare, as substantial dishes are expected and sometimes a variety of them. 7Tne way out of the difficulty is to prepare the kinfolk with the idea that there will not be any grand cooking on sew ing days and then serve a boiled din ner, A boiled meal i 8 much more easily managed than a roast, and nu merous vegetables may be cooked in the same pot. Here i{s one recipe for a boiled dinner: Sauerkraut and Pigs’ Feet—Few families with healthy men and boys will object to this delectable German dish, which 1s as good as cheap and does not require the least looking after, Get a pig’s foot, front or back, for every member of the family, clean them all nicely and then put them on in boiling water, including, if the taste is liked, two large onions or half a clove of garlic. Let them sim mer for three hours, then dump in the sauerkraut you have bought at the delicatessen, giving it about an hour to cook. When ready to serve drain the kraut of water in a colander and bank it in a long platter around the pile of trotters. English mus tard is an addition to this dish and to the other boiled meats. GETTING UP THE CROQUETTE Some Simple Rules That Are Indis pensable for Success in This Appetizing Dish. Soak one cupful of stale white bread crumbs in one-half a cupful of!milk, mix with one cupful of chopped nuts (either mixed nuts or walnuts). Sea son with salt and pepper, add the beat en yolks of two eggs. Shape, egg and crumb. Fry in deep fat. How to Shape Croquettes.—lf the mixture is thick enough to be handled it may be rolled, into any desired shape. : How to Egg and Crumb Croquettes. —Slightly beat an egg and add one tablespoon of water. Dip the croquette in this mixture and then roll it in very fine cracker or stale bread crumbs. Th{ process may be repeated twice, which insures the croquette against soaking fat. Rules for Testing Fat for Frying— Drop into the hot fat a cube of bread from the inside of the loaf, and if in 40 seconds it is a golden brown, the fat is then of the right temperature for frying any mixture which has been previously cooked. For uncooked foods use the same test, allowing one min ute for the bread to brown.—Woman's World. Mother's Lemon Pie. Grated rind and juice of one lemon, one cup boiling water, one cup sugar, yolks of two eggs, butter size of an‘ egg, one slice white bread broken fine | (about one cup). Beat the yolks of! eggs well and add to the sugar and! butter. Pour the boiling water ontoi the bread and stir until well mixed, then add the sugar, eggs and butter.' Bake in a deep plate lined with pastry; when done whip the whites ot} the eggs to a stiff froth; add one tablespoonful sugar; pile this upon the top of the pie and return to the oven until it is a delicate brown. This {s the nicest lemon pie I ever tasted. Compote of Rhubarb. Make a syrup of six heaping table-! spoonfuls of sugar in about half a cup ful of water which has been flavored by simmering in it for 20 minutes the thinly pared rind of an orange or lemon. Prepare and cut the rhubarb into two-inch lengths, put a layer of‘ these into the syrup and cook gently (in a double pan is the best way) un-\ til quite clear, but still unbroken; then remove carefully and stew anoth-! er layer. When cold serve with cuse tard or cream, Elgsenheimer Cheese. Take one Philadelphia cream cheese, one-half quantity butter, one small pickle finely chopped, ten capers, one-quarter of an onion (Bermuda is best), and a few pounded caraway seeds. Mix thoroughly all together, mold on a small platter, then sprinkle a little cayenne pepper over all and keep In a cool place until ready to gerve. Excellent for gentlemen's luncheon. Simple Fruit Pudding. Stew currants or any small fruits, fresh or dried, with sugar to taste and pour hot over thin slices of bakers’ bread with crust cut off, making alter nate layex;s of fruit and bread, and leaving a thick layer of fruit for the top. Cover over the top with a plate, and bake in a moderate oven: when cool set on ice. Serve with sifted sugar or with cream and sugar. In Cold Water, There are certain vegetables it Is far better to put on in cold water than hot. Among these are dandelions, spinach, wax beans, carrots and on fons. To get the best results, dande lions, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, green peas and Brussels sprouts should be cooked uncovered. Potatoes Baked in Cheese Sauce. Place alternate layers of cold boiled potatoes, diced, and cheese sauce into a baking dish. Cover with buttered crumbs and bake till well browned. Children Who Are Sickly.
