HIS recipe comes from French peasants who are masters of the art of good, simple cookery.

It requires very little trouble to prepare; just the thing for mothers of big families.

be so warm that you are able to laugh at the winter in an ideal state et affairs, Also to be able to wear a thin frock under your coat without catching cold is a real advantage.

The coat shown in the left-hand sketch has all these virtues, as not only la is fur-lined to the waist, but the artificial slik from the waist down wards is warmly quilted.

Made from superfine British herring.

home tweed or tim weave, this coat is priced at 42s. for all sizes, SSW, SW, W and WX.

I find, too, that it is amply cist with a generous wrap-over, so essential in cold weather.

There are four colours for your etiolee-fawn, grey, blue or brown. By the way, the cosy baby lamb for ning is sewn in by hand and detachable.

Another dress problem 15: What colours can be worn under a top coat? Contrasts are the verue this season, and on the Arat floor in the same store I found an attractive frock in Jersey velour, which my artist han sketched."

But unless the linen is immaculate the table loses its charm.

It tea is spill on coloured linen the mark will disappear immediately if trented with hot water while still wet. Supposing that is Impossible and the stain is allowed to dry, soak the affected part for some hours in glycerine-this dissolves the tannin- then wash.

Cream, milk, or butter sometimes leave ugly aluins. Treat with grease solvent or with berzine and then wash. Benzine should be ap- piled to a dry surface, and, as it is highly inflammable. should never be used near a fire or a naked light.

Fruit stains, when fresh, may be removed by repeated soakings in warm water, or water in which a Ettle borax has been dissolved. I dry use warm solution of sodium perborule.

Dealing With a

Silk-Embroidered Cloth

It a k-embroidered linen cloth is to be starched, gather the embroid- ery in one hand, and dip the plain part only Into the starch, or the silk threads will be clogged and the ap pearance of the embroidery spoiled.

A much better treatment for thul type of article is to wash it in bran water. The necessary stiffness Is imparted to the linien, the colour s brightened, and no damage is done to the silk thrends.

To prepare bran water, tie some bran loosely in a muslin bag, cover cumpletely with water and stew for twenty minules. For washing, dilute the liquor with an equal quantity of water, for rinsing ord stiffening. Use full strength.

Indian or Chinese white embroid- cry on Inen-lawa may be stiffened with gum water, one tablespoonful to one pint of water. A much dearer and more pleasing, effect will thus be obtained and the iron will glide freely over the wet surface.

Organdie does not require starch If Ironed wel.

If a glossy surface is desired, iron on the right side, if a malt one, on the wrong. French women who are wonderful laundresses, rarely iron any material on the right, although it in advisable to do so in the ense of dam- ask or fine linen,

All embroideries should be pressed over a pad of flannel.
