This milk may be used exactly like nat- ural sour milk or buttermilk in any baking soda recipe.

To the unseeing eye the stuff in the shop looked just junk. Everything was dimmed by dust and neglect, as it ind come from sale room or cupboard.
But when a discerning customer took a dirly wooden box or a grimy vase home, and washed and polished, then the beauty shone out. The box was mndo of exquisitely grained wood, per- fectly put together and lined, the par- celain vaso showed flowers with the. colours fresh and glowing as on the day an artist painted them.

How many women just now are doing unaccustomed work, pre siding over families of ditacult chikiten, running clubs and canteers. showing all sorts of talent no one knew they possessed?
The quality was there, but it needed a polish. A sudden emergency acted like the bath of warm suda, or the briskly applled scrubbing-brush-it brought up the grain,

OU see the little model in the sketch. It is quite simple, yet the design is per- fect. It would look nice in either plain or patterned material. There are ever SO many new pretty materials in the shops now suitable for lingerie.
Follow The Diagram
NOW look at the diogram very carefully and see how the punties are cut out from 14 yards of 36in, wide material. You will need in addition 14 yards of narrow lace—that is, of course, if you prefer lace edying, but they would look just as nice with neatly rolled edges or very narrow binding made from cressway pieces.
