Show J$ AROUND p THE HOUSE Filling the icebox with scraps of left-over food is a waste of room and usually of food. Never allow them to accumulate. When a sweater is washed the buttonholes will not stretch if they are sewed together before the sweater is put into the water. Plant bulbs close to the window panes and away from the heat of the room instead of starting them in a dark room. You will get better results. Hard sauce, highly flavored with cinnamon, grated orange and lemon lem-on peels and a little fruit juice, gives just the proper finish to hot fruit puddings. A little sweet cream spread over the., top crust of a pie before it is put into the oven will make the crust brown' and flaky. When a splinter has gone very deep into the flesh, try extraction by steam. Heat a wide-mouthed bottle and fill it two-thirds full of very hot water and place under the injured spot. The suction in a few minutes removes both splinter and inflammation. This method is particularly good when the splinter splin-ter has been in for some time. |
