14 HOME AND FARM MAGAZINE SECTION In the Home -- Fashions -- Household Hints ftecipes FfeAlSINS are coming to be regarded ( as a food instead of as a mere acces- v aory to cooking. As a winter food they are considered specially valuable, and are also said to contain aeids which are a digestive tonic. They fur nish in a natural form the sweet which children crave. In cookery, in bread, gingerbread and in puddings they moke an agreeable diversity, and add nour ishment. They need thorough mastica tion, especially when uncooked. Tea Stains on Linen. This is an excellent method for re moving tea stains on tablecloths. Im mediately after the tea is spilled cover the stain with common table salt, leav ing it for about an hour. Then wash in the usual manner, and find the stains have entirely disappeared. :?:: Stains on Dishes. To remove stains from fireproof dishes which have become brown from baking, try soaking them in a strong borax water, and yon will find it very satisfactory. New Potatoes. When boiling -new potatoes always place them in boiling water, to which add a little salt and milk. This pre vents them from turning black. ' If i To Clean a Coffee Pot. I dean my silver coffee pot in the fol lowing manner and find it very satis factory: Put a large piece of washing soda into the pot to be cleaned, and fill it with boiling water. Then boil it for one hour over a spirit lamp.., This makes the pot as bright , inside as out and will not injure the silver in any way. On Looking Dainty I AM sure every normal girl wants to look dainty and pretty, only she doesn't always know how to go about it. First and foremost let her stand straight. Stooping is a habit that one needs great will power to overcome. . There is a dangerous tendency to ward stooping shoulders in the present limp picturesque elothes now in fashion, but don't give way to it. Indulge in the baggy effects and Kaygar and kimono styles, but don't toop. Simply let them fall into natural, easy- lines. A enunpled eollar, a guimpe that is i so small that it gapes in the back just between the hooks, a button missing where its absenoe is revealed, a plain pin where '.here should be a little sil , et. or gilt safety pin, all these are ca lamities when one starts off in a hur ry ' and then is suddenly conscious of them. Of what use Is it to have a dainty blouse if you stoop so that it wrinkles and sags, or to have a handsome gown If you stand so badly that its graceful lines are spoiled. You've seen the girl who has a gen erous dress allowaaee, yet somehow caa not manage to look well dressed. We've all seen her. She exists every where. She wears her cloths badly in the first place, and she has not the slightest realization bf the value of little things which go to make a suc cessful toilette. Her ribbons are crumpled, her fril ling! are soiled, her eollar is not neat ly pinned down In the back, bnt Insists upon riding up under her eoat, so that it soon loses its pristine freshness. 1 Honey Bread.

Do ' pot ep oyer too tot, . , Fashion Talks BY MAT MANTON. TASTES in sleeping garments are widely divided. On the one hand, there are women who. want the daintiest gowns with round neck and short sleeves and, on the other hand, there are those who are warm advocates of pajamas. Undoubtedly, this last garment has advantages that are all its own bnt there is a daintiness and a charm about the lingerie night gown that is quite certain to appeal to the feminine mind, , , The kimono gown, 7944, is a very charming one yet perfectly simple, made all in one piece with only two seams. Hand embroidery makes the prettiest and daintiest finish and the design shown is by no means difficult but, when time and labor are to be considered, a dainty effect can be obtained by using the scallops only or by trimming with lace edging and insertion.

Draping Curtains ANEW way of draping bedroom curtains of sheer and soft, thin materials like ensement cloth, cot ton voile, marquisette or net, is to hang a single width at each end of the pole and let it fall in straight folds to tho floor. The hooks supporting these straight widths o'eccupy about one third of the space at each end of the polo, and next to them are suspended two doublo widths of material, both of which are hooked back at the window sill, but while at the top one of theso widths falls' natural- ly, the upper inside corner of the other width is brought forward to overlap the first one and hooked to the polo within three inches of tho end widths inside edge. Finally, several feet from tho polo at the opposite side of tho window this overlapping curtain is partly caught back by a narrow ribbon or twist of silk starting from its own end of the pole. The lapover fills In the space at tho top of the. window, which draped-baek curtains always form, and it is less stiff in appearance than is. the short w.idth of curtaining sometimes employed to obviate the abrupt break at the center, of the window pole.
