HOME MADE TOFFEE

A reader has asked for a recipe for a simple toffee" for children. Here are a few which do not require the use of a therm- ometer in cooking, and are quite suitable for making" by the nur- sery fre one dark afternoon.

Butterscotch

Add a pinch of cream of tartar and half a pound of fresh butter in small pieces, boll- ing till the mixture forms into a moderately hard ball, when a small quantity is dropped into cold water.

The 'dressing

Green salads are, for the most part, dressed with oil and vingar, salt and pep per according to the green stuff, Sugar should over be used. The three important points to bear. in mind to obtain a "good salad are: (1) the freshness of the green stuf. If such saladings are lettuce, they should be fresh- ened in cool water, after having been carefully washed and trim- med.

(2) The quality of oil and vinegar. The oil must be of the first quality; do not forget that "salad, cil" sold everywhere will never replace pure olive oil for taste or for health. Vinegar "should be wine vinegar, and not malt vinegar or a chemical one which is extremely bad for the system.

(3) The preparation of the dressing. The dressing should be prepared in the salad bowl be- fore putting in the salad which, after having been washed and shaken in a salad basket, must be dried and the leaves torn, not си.

The red tray can be found in various directiona. There is again the heat-proof tray, which is a fine red, generally in a good shape, and fairly expensive; It looks charming for coffee-cups and needs no accessories. There is another kind, of Japanned tin, which may be bought for less than a shilling, which is round, about eighteen inches in diameter, and which is excellent for glass- es. There are also the cheap little trays made of glass with rea under it, and tramed in his ket-work, with which we are all familiar.

Red velns close to the surface of the skin are the result of little broken capillaries, sometimes caused by too vigorous patting or over-use of ice.
