Curried Rice.-A cheaf) and ap- petizing dish for luncheon is curried rice--an excellent substitute for a meat curry. To make it, wash thor- oughly well about I-lb rice and par-I boil it; mix a dessertspoonful of curry paste with three-quarters of a pint of good brown gravy (using only a little of the "gravy at rst, and gradually adding more), and boil them together, then add the riceand let the curry simmer at the side of the re until the rice is quite cook- ed. Put it in a dish when ready, and] serve it very hot, the gravy of the! curry smothering the rice. The` juice of half a lemon squeezed into the gravy is considered by some an improvement, while others prefer the addition of a sprinkling `of celery salt. -:~-~!~+4'~-+~`-+"+'---~+-k-i~~-4`-'3` Soap and candles should be bought some time before they are needed, as they waste less quickly after being kept.

A foul-smelling cupboard lvgillcontaminate food in a very short tune. To keep photographs is a. problem `where space is such an item to be `considered. A good plan is to soak `the photograph from the cardboard in which it is mounted, using clear, clean water for .this. Cut the pict- ure as small -as possible without in- ljuring it, and. paste in a scrapbook |or postcard album. , Melt off the tops of large tomato cans and bake in them loaves of brown or white bread. When cut the round _slices of bread make at- tractive looking sandwiches, then the edges are not so- easily broken in |carrying as cut bread. Cake baked in_ this manner, cut thin and_,spread _w1th, tart jelly, is a mce addy.ti_on to a lunch basket for `school ch1ld_ren. A The most satisfactory _dishrag I `rhave ever used was made from white mosquito bar, writes a contributor to the $Delineator. To make it, lfold the bar six or eight times, cut [the required size, then stitch` on the `machine backwards and forwards three or four times` with' a good long stitch. These dishrags are light, durable, easily kept clean, and `very inexpensive. Cover the wall above the kitchen table for a height of 20 inches with oilcloth or- something easily cleaned. Fasten this by nailingto the top ed- ge a strip of soft wood about an inch thick. Fill with small nails or hooks and Ilse for cooking spoons, forks, egg heaters, and such Small articles as are in constant use in the kitchen. About 18 inches above place a long shelf,, the under side having.l ar'ge hooks for small buck ets, measuring cups, pitchers, tea, and coffee pots, or anything which may be hung up of keeping l I the table 1 out of the way instead in disorder. [The top of the shelf, covered with '~ '0ilcloth, holds labeled cans `or boxes containing cereals, tea, coffee, _wash- _ ing powder, salt, or any of- the thou- sand and.one things in daily use. b By such an arrangement much time and energy is saved, as everything -`necessary is within, reach and does - away with walking back and forth - to the. pantry. - h I ;\ THURSDAY."
