More than half the success in cook in early rhubarb lies in playing up the pink. How attractive a dish of the stewed fruit looks alongside bowl of custard or a pink binne- mange.

Rhubarb and apricots are delicious together in a pudding.

Sago In Variety
THE value of sago lies in its easy digestibility, which makes it ex- cellent for chlidren and Invalids, and in the fact that it is very easy to make into attractive dishes.
This is one of the simplest ways of making a saga pudding. Wash a cup- tal and a half of small sago, and put it in a dish with 14 pints of mlik, a tablespoonful of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let it stand for about halt an hour, then place in a moderate toven for an hour and a half without

This method of covering the bar completely only lakes a few extra inches

There is no need to have the wooden frames of your deck chairs always the same drab colour. Treat them with a coat of enamel or wash-
able paint in some vivid shade- scarlet, yellow, or blue, whichever inatches the canvas.
Examine rustic wood articles, especially the joints and see if any of them are rickety; If some of them ore, put a short brace of wood across the doubtful corners, securing it with brass screws or galvanised nails. Paint with varnish stain or creosote.
For Squeaking Chairs
Hammocks, tables, and adjustable chairs with metal frames sometimes develop an anhoying squeak in the hinges. Touch all parts which rub against each other with a spot of oil, and this will coon cease.
Olt is also an effective remedy for wicker chairs which ereak. Apply it where parts overlap, but avoid put- ting it where It may get on the clothes of those who use the chalc.
All garden furniture will benefit by good washing, whether you plan to repaint
or not. Warm, soapy water can be used on all painted and varnished garden furniture. If you any oak or teak garden tables or chairs, wash them down with o solution of a quarter of an ounce of copper sulpate to a gallon of warm water. This makes them clean and proof against insects and fungus.
