You can not really like an ego tistic man, but at times you ad mire him. It is softies who object to critics. Criticism — good criticism — is what there is not nearly enough of. But there are overwhelming oceans of gush. A good scold is preferable to a smearer of mo lasses.

When the felt is thoroughly damp it is easy to stretch it to the right size. * * « Milk Puddings — Orange peel shredded very finely makes an ex cellent flavoring for milk pud dings.

More nutritious and digestible, too. • • • Stewed Macaroni — Boil one pound macaroni in milk and wa ter for three-quarters of an hour, adding one-fourth ounce butter, salt, and an onion stuck with cloves. Afterwards, drain the macaroni, add three ounces grat ed cheese, a little nutmeg, pep per, and a little milk or cream. Stew gently for five minutes and serve very hot. * • • Keeping Cheese Moist—To pre vent it from becoming dry, keep it wrapped in butter muslin, or in the glazed hygienic paper in which some bread is wrapped. • • • Tough Pastry—Too much water will make pastry tough. pick your opponent.
