There was a decided attempt to banish the long- popular double and single ruffles from these ubiquitous comforts, but cords and ruchings seem to fail in the desired effect, and the spring output is fluffy with flounces. Cushions cov- ered with China. silk are edged with a double ruffle of the same material, the under ruffle being of a delicate shade to correspond with the tone of the design, whether it be a. woven de- as, for example, a bunch of yellow marguelf- itcs embroidered on some cafe-au-lait silk has the under ruffle of the same yellow tint as the heartof the daisies. Pink wild roses in a design upon a pale blue ground has the second ruffle of pale pink. A pretty but very delicate 'sofa pillow was covered with green China silk in the bright shade popular this spring, and over this is fitted a dotted muslin cover, the frill of the white showing prettily through the green silk ruflfle. a . . 1 r . u- ‘T lulu. 3’, Milk Toast. Milk toast, as it is served on nine tables out of ten, is uneatable. Prop- erly prepared, it is not only a good dish for the light menu allowed a con- valescent, but is welcomed eagerly by the children of the family, certainly if grated maple sugar is sent around with it. To two cups of scalded milk—and the milk should be merely scalded, not boiled, and if there is a scum, which there should not be, it must be remov- ed—to this amount of milk, stir in a paste made of a scant table-spoonful and a. half of flour, net in a little cold water. To the flour, while it is dry, add a good salt- spoonful of salt. When the paste is mixed with the milk, it should be cooked in a double boiler, stirring constantly When it is about as thick as cream, a piece of butter the size of a walnut is added. The bread toasted dry ls dipped into the sauce, each slice remaining until even- ly tender, when it is 'piled lightly on a small platter, and what sauce is lei: poured over and around it. It should be eaten while very hot.‘ . How to Wa'sh'Sh‘éepskin Rugs. If sheepskin rugs are washed, as dealers assert that they can be, it is pointed out by an authority on their cleansing that this process is not ac- complished in the usual way by im- mersion in a. tub. The pelt side should not be wet at all. To prevent this they are tacked around a. stout barrel and scrubbed with a clean scrubbing- brush and hot suds in which some good washing-powder has been dissolv- ed. They are thoroughly rinsed in. clear water and left on the barrel in the sun to dry. While the drying process is going on, a. clean curry-comb is useful to keep the wool from mat- ting. The final result is a” fluffy rug of dazzling whiteness. Straw Sewi'ing. Delft-handed women. find that it pays them to take a to v lessons in straw- sewing. The woman who learns save. many a penny by making her own hats. The hand-sewed hats with lined rims, _ if made in the fashionable designs, are always expensive. There are no mark- ed-down sales Of them until they be- come cheap by being out of date. It is here that the amateur straw~sewer finds a chance for thrift. For a few cents she can pick up a. hat sewed in an old season’s style, and with this supply of braid she can quickly resew it in any shape she elects. ' 1 Annual Sales overe.000.000, 30:10.
