What the House wife Should Know EMB ..OID&RCD BUREAU SCARFS. DOILIES, ETC. Make thick lukewarm Lux suds and put in the scarf or doily. •Wash quickly by squeezing the suds through and through the ma tt ial. Do not rub as this is likely to loosen the threads of the em broidery. Even though one thinks the colors are fast, it is safer not to soak the article. If the suds be come soiled, use fresh suds to re move all the dust and dirt. Thoroughly rinse the scarf in clear, lukewarm water. Three rinses will probably be enough. Then squeeze out the moisture, do not twist. Roll the scarf or doily in a dry turkish towsl, knead for a moment, then unroll and shake the scarf into shape. This removes much of the excess moisture, making the scarf dry more quick’#. If the colors are unfast, this would help to prevent streaking. Don’t ever leave colored materials, or things with colored embroidery rolled up while damp. Whenever ironing embroidered articles, place them face down on a soft pad (several thicknesses of a turkish tow 1 or soft blanket) on the ironing board, and iron on the wrong side with a warm, not a hot, iron. Iron the material along the thread. This prevents the article from becoming pulled out of shape. Press until thoroughly dry. Leav ing edges damp, especially if scal loped, makes them look puckered when the material is dry. When ever ironing round or oblong doilies work from thj center to the edge! This prevents the doily from hump ing in the center or becoming warped out of shape. After ironing, hang the scarf on a line or rack to cool and become thoroughly dry, before folding, or rolling, and put ting away. •All white doilies, scarfs, etc., should be soaked for a hour or so in lukewarm Rmso suds, and then washed in hot Rinso suds.

Mrs. Harris frowns on her husband’s choice as she looks over a racing shee. Well, wife can disagree with her own husband. ROAST FOWLS Christinas dinners at home. I can see them yet. Great billowy mounds of creamy potatoes, piles of steaming rolls, platters of golden Hubbard squash, cold crisp salads of apples, nuts, and celery, crimson cranberry moulds, marvelous mince and pumpkin pies—and, crowning the feast, that epitome of color, flavor, and arcana—his majesty, the turkey. Consider your stuffings, for with a large number of dressings clamor ing to be urged down the generous gullet of our bird, the time draws near to weigh and choose. While as a rule, any good dress ing will be good in any good bird, well brought up ducks, geese, chickens, and turkeys do have their own favorite stuffings. The gamey flavor of water birds, for in stance, blends best with apple, or apple and prune dressings, potato stuffings, savory onion dressing, or a full flavored celery stuffing. Tur key is happiest when holding warm ly within it an oyster, egg and mushroom, chestnut, or other nut dressing. Chicken, on the other hand, may arrive at table encompassing feath ery dressings, featuring giblets, corn, parsley, or even coccanut as an ingredient. Remember in each case to stuff lightly, but still to reach every opening. And here’s another tip which will hold good for all -kinds of roast fowl in which the breast bone is not too protruding. In roasting place the bird on his breast instead of his back. Support on each side with skewers or small pans set in side the roadster, and proceed as usual. This arrangement allows the juices to drain down into the too, too dry and solid breast and lends added deliciousness to the whole. A delectable basting juice is made of one cup of boiling water, one half cup orange juice, and two tea spoons lemon juice. This piquant fruit flavor permeates the meat of the roast bird. Now for three quick tricks with Christmas stuffings. Til® first fills a chicken. The second com plements a turkey, and the third flatters a plump roast goose. Apple-Giblet Stuffing for Chicken 1 set giblets (heart, liver, and gizzard) 3 cups stale bread crumbs 1 cup minced tart apple 1-4 cup chopped onion 3-4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1-4 teaspoon pepper 1-4 teaspoon powdered sage Soak the bread crumbs in cold milk half an hour, then squeeze out quite dry. Add the apple, onion, and seasoning and mix welL Blend with this the giblets, which have been cooked till tender and then chopped fine * * * Oyster Stuffing for Turkey 1 pound loaf of stale white bread 1 pint sslid oysters, cut in halves 1 pint oyster liquor 2 teaspoons salt 1-3 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning Grated rind of 1-2 lemon 2 tablespoons melted butter Cut the bread in thick slices and then in cubes. Add the oyster liquor, then the remaining ingre dients, and blend. Add water if necessary to make packable. Stuff the turkey from both openings and sew up the entrances. * » • Prune Stuffing for Duck 3 cups stale bread crumbs 1 teaspoon salt Dash of pepper 1 cup chopped stewed prunes 1-2 cup chopped apples 1-2 cup chopped nut meats 1-4 cup melted buter 2 teaspoons brown sugar Juice of 1-4 lemon Prune juice Blend all the ingredients thor oughly, adding only sufficient prune juice to give a packing con sistency. RECIPES Sm ian Meat Patties 2 cups ground cooked beef (from soup bone) 1 cup cooked rice 1-2 teaspoon salt Grated onion Pepper 1 egg’ 1-4 cup evaporated milk Plain pastry Broth Chopped parsley Combine ground beef, rice, sea soning, egg and evaporated milk.
