The Women's Corner For Anything of Interest to "the Homemaker and the Housekeeper There is almost certain to be sour milk 'on: hand during the hot weather, The: first thing that comes to mind is »eottage cheese, but - when there's only one cup or less and there's baking to be done the most satiisfac- tory way .to. save the milk is to use it in cakes or cookies. ; Altho many women hesitate to use ur milk and soda in baking, it is a mple- thing to substitute sour milk for sweet milk in any recipe. The easiest rule to follow is to use one-half teaspoon of soda for one cup'of- 'sour milk and omit 'one tea- spodn of créam of tartar or two tea- spoons of baking powder from the recipe. / Baking sode by itself is not to be recommended -as a 'leaven, altho it often is psed alone in making ginger bread and spice cake. When heated baking soda generates carbon diox- ifle, which is the greatest leavening en: in flour; mixtures, but the re- due left after the decomposition of the soda discolors the mixture and makes the . disagreeable taste and smelt. However, when spices are or they disguise the color and or. i Note Acidity Of Milk Ene acidity of the milk also enters into the 'problem. Milk which has just "furned" © will need. a small amount of 'soda to neutralize it and #tough baking powder will be needed Igaven the mixture. An eighth to aap of si teaspoon of soda to one of slightly soured milk and the al amount of baking powder call- ed for in the recipe should be used. The best way "to use soda in a re- sipe is to dissolve it in a little cold water and immediately beat'it into mixtyre. A small amount of gas y be 10st by this method but there i$: no danger of the tiny yellow spots 3 often noticed when soda is added the dry ingredients. Sour milk drop cakes are ping on hand. 8 DROP CAKES : «Two eggs, 1 cup sugar, 6 table- joons butter, 14 teaspoon soda, 2 téaspoons water, ¥4 cup sour milk, 2 ps flour, 2 teaspoons baking pow- Br, 14 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon van- worth it flour, salt' and baking 'powder d add with nuts to mixture" Add la dis vanilla.

In- dividual breakfast sets are attractive, of course, but by no means neces- sary. Neatness and spotlessness are the only requisites. Take care not to fill dishes too full. The jar of carrying may make them spill. For Lovely Luncheons When any member 6f the family must lunch alone why not serve the luncheon on a tray? An attractive tray carried to a cool spot on the porch, living room or garden does much to cheer a lonely luncher and refreshes as well as feeds. A tray dinner or supper during warm weather is pleasant for the family or guests. Each person should have a tray and serve himself cafe- teria style from the dining table. He can then join the group on the porch or lawn to eat. This tray service simplifies serving and is a change for the housewife as well as the family, Whenever a meal must be served out of doors, so to speak, the use of trays will save setting the dining table and many steps. The tray is taken to the kitchen all set with the silver, ready for the dishes of food. When ready to serve. it is taken wherever it's wanted and the dining room remains in its between-meal order. The tray habit is an excellent one. One use suggests another and makes for greater efficiency in housekeep- ing. FIRST AID METHODS REMOVING STAINS Now that tlie picnic season is in full swing it 1s useiul to have at hand first aid methods for the re- moval of stains, as prompt action within a few hours will save dainty summer frocks that have been mark- ed with grass or foliage spots and splashes of water, white shoe dress- ing, and foc! that has been spilled owing to ths unaccustomed attitudes rccessitated by out-of-doors meals. Green marks from grass, dandelion leaves, and other foliage yicld to sponging with methylated spirit fol- jowed 'by a wash in hot water. Hy- drogen peroxide will bleach the last traces. Water disfigures wool and silk be-] cause it dissolves the "weighting" ma terials, which is subsequently distri- buted irregularly when the {fabric dries. Moisten the garment with a L sponge or in steam and iron it whilst still damp. Stains from the dressing on white shoes should be sponged with water. When dry, the fabric is rubbed in the direction of the weave with a piece of the same material. Fruit stains usually disappear when. boiling water. is poured .on them from the height of a few fect, or when washed in hot water with- out soap. The latter would "set" the dye: inthe "uncooked juice and pro- duce a very resistant greenish-blue mark. Final traces of fruit stains may be sponged with hydrogen pero- xide and leit to dry in the sun. Tea stains should be soaked over- ing a teaspoonful of borax in a cup of water.

Added to clear starch, a tiny piece of soap will give a fine gloss and prevent irons from sticking, If the wash boiler is rubbed over withs oap while still hot it will not rust and the soap will make suds for next wash day. In damp weather, mirrors and windows get misty, Smear a lit- tle soap over them, and polish off with a soft duster. They will re- main clear on the dampest day. Soap is a useful addition to the fotorist's tool«box, for it will seal a leak in the petrol tank until it can be properly repaired. A ladder in silk stog¢kings can be stopped by the prompt applica- tion of a little soap. The fabric stiffens as thé soap dries =ad the stitch cannot run any further.

Scotland. D. MacGregor' Aberdeen, GIFT T0 HOSTESS NEEDS THOUGHT Reflect Some Thought and Care and Should Be Given on Arri- val or Sent Af-- ter Departure To be on time for meals, 16 depart before the welcome smile on the face of the hostess becomes strained and forced, to give, under all circum- stances, a brave imitation of a lady having a wonderful time--these are definite rules in the game oF being a good little house guest. In addi- tion, however, there are ceftain fine points that make one 4 past master in what can be a very pleasant and subtle art, For instance, there is no definite command that the guests arriving for a weekeend or longer visit should present gifts to the hostess; but it is a gesture that most persons like to make, particularly when they are not in the position to extend return invi- tations. The gift may be presented in person when one arrives, or it may be sent aftef the visit, but it is im- portant that it should give definite indications that much thought and care were expended on the purchase. The gift should be either novel or luxurious, although it need not be expensive. That is to say, it is far better to give her one pound. of de luxe salted nuts than five pounds of the mediocore sort, even though the latter purchase would cost consider- ably more than the former. Our old friends, candy and salted nuts, or combinations of the two, are always welcome, but: the candy should not be just a box of chocolates .obyi- ously purchased at the railroad sta- tion or at a drug store en route. No matter how fond vou or your hostess may be of chocolates they are a haz- ardous purchase during these hot days, par rly when. one is con- cérned about the appearance of the sweetmeats upon arrival, Just now the shops are showing en- ticing summer candies that not only keep their dainty forms during the most wilting weather © but would scem to be much more alluring to the palate than the cloying and richer sweets of other scasons. Some shops have a delightful assortment of jellied candies in the form of Berries and fruits, besides colorful hard candies. Some specialize in week-end boxes -- fascinating and ~ practical hampers filled with the assorted sweets and delicacies for which they are famous. They also have a wide variety of summer candies, including the imitation berries, etc." Their sugar petals, made to resemble flower petals in various pastel colors, would be fetching on the most hot and humid afternoon. If vour hostess is reducing or vou would prefer to give her something other than cdibles there are many novel and timely gifts and, inciden- tally, if you have time to shop around many good bargains are to be found here and there. The location of her home the length of her visit, your degree of intimacy and the condition of your bank balance will all be fac- tors in your decision. If the home is by the sea or lake or boasts a private swimming pool a good choice might be one of those rubber 'animals for water sports. Since they take up little space when deflated they are also practical from the transportation standpoint. In the sports department will be found the colorful new beach blankets and pillows of terry cloth, smart ac- cessories for the lolling and tanning now so modish. If your hostess is one who burns and freckles an amusing and inexpensive gift for an intimate might be one of thé new coolie hats. A new game would be an excellent choice and the hostess of a large and rather mixed party would welcome one of the marble games, also found in toy apartments, which become gambling devices among the adults.

'""To one beaver hat £2" and 'To one imitation hat £1" or prices thereabout are frequent entries in the~old book, while hats of cas- tor and borum are often referrea to. Needless to say, beaver hats were mens' fashionable top-hats of the day, manufactured from real beaver. skin, plucked, dyed, ironed and stretched over a frame. These were parents of the modern silk hat already appearing under the name "imitation" 'and' illustrated in the fluffy topper with which cartoon- ists adorn the head of Uncle Sam, Women's hats in Straw, chip and leghorn were also sold by Mr, Rog- ers at prices ranging from 20 to 40 shillings, and the ledger sghowk that Mr. Hollowell, the lighthouse keeper at the Island, paid £2 2s 6d. for "3 bonnets." Moccasins were bought by Rogers' customers at from 5 to 6 shillings a pair, But notwithstanding that furs were ri diculously cheap, fur coats were not in fashion and the women of early Toronto had to satisfy their love for fur finery with the then fashionable muffs and tippets. In this connection we see that F. Fish- er paid 50 shillings for a "lynx tip- ett'; Attorney-General Boulton £6 for '"2 martin tippetts"; Geo. Rid- out £6 for a "muff and tippet"; In. teresting entries are also recorded in 1828, when "John Wilson the "4th bought one sea otter cap' for 45 shillings, and Dr. Deal a similar headpiece for 60 shillings. Today sea otter is priceless and supposed- ly extinct, mmunity . | BATTLING FARM YOUTHS FINED Fought Over Girl--Promis. ed Not To Do It. ~ Again St. Catharines, July 17.--~Finer of $20 and costs were. imposed yes- terday afternoon at Smithville by Magistrate James H. .Campbell on Jack Inglis, aged 18, and Russ Swayzie, aged 17, the two farm youths who on Saturday night, July 6, engaged in a fistic battle in Smithville over a remark made by Swayzie about a girl of Inglis's ac- quaintance, Inglis pleaded ghilty, and his costs were $29, Swayzie's being $33.
