cupful of sugar, and the juice of one
half lemon. Ice the top and sides
of the cake with the following frost
ing: Put into a pan the juice from
the pineapple used for cake filling,
and boil with sugar, allowing two
cupfuls of sugar to one of juice; for
each cupful of sugar used, take the
whites of two eggs and heat stiff;
when the syrup cooks thick and
spreads, pour gradually over the egg
whites, beating; cook over steam to
the proper consistency for icing.
Cinnamon Rolls Take bread
dough that is very light, lay on a
buttered molding board, roll thin,
spread thick with butter, sprinkle
well with cinnamon and s.ugar, and
roll up, as you would sponge cake.
Cut into slices- crosswise half an
inch thick. Place these slices in a
deep pan, let rise until very light;
spread the top thickly with sugar,
and nearly cover with boiling water.
Put into the oven and cook until
done. The water should all be cooked
out by the time they are done. Mrs.

Getting Ready lor Winter
White clothes, especially white
dresses and. lingerie, will usually
turn yellow during the retirement
for winter. .To prevent this, rinse a
piece of white sheeting in strong
bluing water, making the water very,
blue, then let dry; -when dry, make
a bag of this cloth and fold the white
fabrics within. This is as good, if
not better, than blue paper. They
will come out in the spring white.
In the fall, no matter how hard
one tries the "swatting" business,
there are apt to be a few, more or
less, -fly-specks on white or light
colored window shades. This can
be removed by rubbing gently with
the finest sandpaper, then clean by
using a cloth wrung out of one pint
of hot water in which three table
spoonfuls of benzine have been
dropped. ' Do this, away from all
possible' contact with flame or fire,
as the benzine is very explosive. Dry
them well with a soft cloth, and if
the shades are, white, rub lightly
with powdered starch.
When putting up the stoves, it
care is not taken,, there will be sobt
marks on the wall paper from care
less touching. To remove this, dip
a piece of cheese cloth in dry corn
meal and rub the spots; the smear'
will be removed. If very much soiled,
the corn meal maybe moistened with
a little ammonia water or gasoline
just the ieast bit is sufficient. Do
not try to wash, or wipe off with a
cloth dipped, in water.
If you are one of the renting class,
and are looking for a comfortable
habitation fdr'YhV cold months, you
will find, if you are any judge of
house-building, that it almost im
possible to find even a new house that
is well built, or calculated to with-,
stand the onslaught of strong cold
winds and biting frosts. The .houses
may look very 'handsome, and you
may sigh contentedly over the( fine
varnish finish, stained, painted or
waxed floors, closets, and elaborate
light fixtures, tiled bath rooms, con
venient kitchens, but a very short
time will disclose the cracks; and
loose joints, ill-fitting doors, and"
poor plumbing. A good house' costs
money, and there are few houses like
the old-time builder put up.
