A burnt pan should bo washed out with boiling water and sodB, and bo allowed to boll up for a while on tho flro hoforo bolng rinsed.

A pint fruit Jar containing n scrap of lucon happened to ho left ovor night In one of his greenhouses. Next morning n dozen or moro cockroaches were vnln ly trying to climb tho slippery side of tho glnsB Jar. Tho HorlBt has succeeded In ridding his establishment of theso repulsive creatures, which formerly nto such hlgb-prleed plnnts ns orchids and gardonlas. It Is necessary to paste a piece of paper on tho outsldo of the Jar so that tho Insects can get Biifnrent foot hold to climb up Into the trap. In the original case tho la bel of the manufacturer supplied this neod.

The only thing to prevont this condition Is to wear a hat, a lnrgo straw one being the best for the purpose. Those hatB are not ex pensive and they will save tho hair from losing th nourishing oils nnd from tho starving of tho follicles.

A woman who can cleorly utilize odds nnd ends that most would throw nway has found a fascinating uae for small embroidered tea cloths that ire too small for a card table nnd too big for a contorpleco.

Sometimes a large monogram is embioldeied heavily In tho renter of tho ten cloth, It Is dono either In white or In n color to match tho lining This Is an excellent way to uso center-pieces that have worn Into holes, though the border Is still in good condition.

Bake In a mod erate ovon until cake Is done, nnd when cool turn out on a plntter with the peaches on (op, Put a llttlo pow dered BUgnr over the top nnd serve with chilled whipped cream flavored to taste.
