During this temporary eclipse no one on her deck could see the shore between the house and the dock. Alice saw in a flash the reason for Dicks sudden queer actions. "Oh, I understand! she nodded.

GOOD THINGS SEASONABLE The busy housewife with one pair of hands at command to do the dally tusks, must do without muny frills in cookery, no matter how much alie may enjoy them. How- In I p jl J E S simple garnishing Is well spent time. Carrot Pudding. Take one cupful of grated car- rot, one cupful of grated f potato, oue egg, cupful of f sugar, cupful of shortening, f cupful of raisins, one of soda and one cupful of flour. Steam one hour. Sour Meat Take a nice piece of round steak, lay It In vinegar with one onion, a teaspoonful of whole allspice, salt and pepper mixed, one bayleaf, allow It to stand for three days. Brown the meat In a hot frying pan, pour over the vinegar and sufficient water In equal parts to cover the meat and simmer until tender. Strain the gravy, then thicken It and pour around the meat when serving. f Chocolate Cookiss. Cream cupful of shortening with one cupful of sugar, add one beaten egg. Add one-hacupful of sour milk with one-ha- lf teaspoonful of soda, two squares of chocolate melted over hot water and one and one-lmcupfuls of flour, Drop by spoonfuls on baking sheets and buke In a moderate oven. Top with Icing prepared from powdered sugar, butter and a little vanilla and cream. Take one-haDrop Doughnuts. f cupful of cupfjl of sugnr, f cupfuls of milk, one and flour with one teaspoonful of baking powder, a pinch of salt and ginger, a grating of lemon rind.

Fold In one cupful of flour sifted with of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar and bake In a greased pan In a slow oven. Stewed Lettuce. Cook lettuce as greens lu very little moisture, serve with melted butter, a dash of vinegar, pepper and salt Onion Juice may be added for seasoning If liked. Pertinent Hints. As seasoning is one of the fine arts and marks the ability of a cook, It is wise to stndy the various combinations of season- The French cook Ing. has the seasoning sense jif developed to a high degree. Her foods are often of the most common and plainest kind, but the mixture of seasoning puts the dishes out of the ordinary class. A package of bay leaves will last two or three generations, as this Is a seasoning like garlic which should be used In very small quanltles. The little bit, however, Is needed to add that alluring flavor. A bottle of mushroom sauce, kitchen bouquet, Worcestershire and tabasco sauce, pepper sauce, curry, chill powder, celery salt, paprika, soy sauces of various kinds with the rommonei dozen of the savory seasonings and herbs should all be part of the kitchen. Scald a dish In which fish has been cooked with vinegar in the water, then wash with soda in the water. Old rubbers will be shined up by rubbing them with ammonia. A roomy market basket well padded makes- a fine bid for a small baby when traveling. It Is easy to carry and will also 'hold the bubys belongings. Relng able to carry the hnby without dixturhlng him or exposing him to the weather Is a greut advantage. Grease the cork of the bottle of glue and It will be easy to remove when needed. Between the rows of the vegetables which will soon be pulled like onions, radishes and such vegetables, sow flower seed which will delight you after the vegetables are gone. A good way to cienn closes Is to molten flour snd wash them on the hands, by rubbing and cleaning off the dark spots. Renew the flour and clean again. Kitchen aprons of unbleached cotton are much more desirable, as they may be boiled and kept white. A piece of Ice held In the mouth for a minute before bad tasting medicine Is given will dull the sense of taste. A little sand In a vn will add greatly to the comfort of using It.
