A lady of prominence has sent in
the following notes for publication in
the hope that they will be of interest
to our readers: "I have tried various
sorts of dishes for my ice-box, begin-
ning with blue and white to carry out
the color scheme of my kitcllen, but
new I have settled down to glass.
Glass looks clean and is clean, and I
can see at a glance just what each
dish contains. Any glass dish of
unusual size which I find I seize on
for my ice-box. but In general I prefer
tall narrow ones, because they take
up little space. Large mouthed pint
fruit jars are very useful, and one
can keep a surprisingly large variety
of things in them. The round glass
dishes that boiled tongue come in are
also very convenient. In my pantry
and in my sewing room I also use
glass dishes. As in the case of the
ice-box, the glass tells you at a glance
just how much the dish contains, and
usl_lally.wbat it contains also. lll the
pantry, however, I have even my
glass containers labelled, using the
gum labels that one buys for the pur-
pose.
All my blue and white spice jars
have now been replaced by the little
glass jars that candy sticks come ln.
As they are tall and slender. they take
uplittle space, and they have tight
screw tops which are much better
than the loose covers of the old spice
jars. For the sewing room I save
small glass jars such as cold cream
comes in, and in these I put buttons.
hooks and eyes, snap fasteners and so
forth.
I look upon my glass jars as one of
the institutions of my home, and my
squares of cheesecloth are another. I
couldn't keep house,-without either.‘I
have the cheesecloth hemmed, not
only to prevent ravelling, but because
a hem inspires respect, and I use them
made into bags and are llsed to drain
lettuce. One day I wanted a cloth to
wrap fish in for boiling. and In order
to distinguish it from the others I tied
a knot in the corner. Now all my
fish cloths have knots In the corners.
Ascbeesecloth costs only five or BIX
ited quantity of the "rags" and they
are so easy to launder that they do
not seem to make any difference ill
the week’s washing.
In one wants to use olive oil in con-
siderable quantities its ollincss can
be disguised by mixing it with ally
acid fruit juice, or pouring It over the
fruit.' A spoonful of olive oil loses
allits objectionable characteristics
when poured over a sliced oranlio “lid
adds to the flavor of the latter. With
half a grapefruit one can take several
tablespoonfuls without noticing it. Ol-
iveoil mixed with orange Juice makes
a pleasant drink, or can be used ss H

he dress takes little space and often
saves a great deal of inconvenience.
The suitcase is often a good place, too,
for the best dress. Heavy clothing
like cloth skirts and raincoats hold a
certain amount of moisture, which
puts delicate frocks in good condition
for wrlnkling.
In packing a trunk I often make con-
siderable use of crushed newspapers.
One of the secrets of successful pack-
ing, of course, is to have every little
space filled, and one cannot always
find enough stockings and other un.
crusbable articles for this purpose. In
that case I use slightly crushed news-
Dapers. and find them so useful that I
always put it lewin my trunk so that
I will have them in case of need.
The thickness of the layer of wax
which one puts on the top of a jelly
glass seems a small matter, but I have
found that it makes a great deal of
difference. If the layer is too thin
it breaks when one tries to remove
it, and it is diflicult to free the jelly
froln the small pieces. lf the wax is
about an eighth of an inch in thick-
ness. it not only comes off without
breaking, but one can easily wash it
alld put it away for future use.”

TRIED RECIPES.
GEORGIA CHOCOLATE ROLL
Two pounds sugar, cup rich milk.
two tablespoons butter, boiled togeth-
er; quarter pound chocolate melted
over llot water. Tcst the boiling su-
gar; as soon as it creams pour in the
melted chocolate. Remove from the
fire, add teaspoonful vanilla and beat
till somewhat ' cooled. Have the
whites of two eggs beaten very stiff
and into this pour the syrup slowly
alld continue to heat. As it begins to
cream and harden change the beating
to a kneading motion, rolling the
cream up from the edges toward the
centre and forming lt gradually into
loaf form, roll in cinnamon and pulv-
erlzed sugar. Set aside for several
hours, and then cut into slices or
cubes, or form into balls, and roll in
sugar and cinnamon. It should re-

worked into shapes, but not in the
least sticky.
