Washing silks of all kinds should not "be dried before ironing. Wring them carefully, spread in a dry cloth, roll up, and leave for half-hour: tlion iron wnilst damp. A very little soap in the rinsing water will givo the right stiffness of new silk. Blouses and dresses that are fastened with press studs should have the studs fastened before passing through the wringer: the studs will not then ho damaged. Save the Rice Water.—Don't throw away tho wator in which rico is boiled. Save it for soup making. And the same with the wator in which onions, spinach and other vegetables are boiled. The story goes that certain Japanese soldiers, privates, asked for the water in which the rice was boiled and left the ripe for the officers, and that tho privates were the better physically, llice water is recognised by dieticians as digestible and strengthening to fever patients and invalids of weak digestive organs. Mixed with milk, it forms a palatable and nourishing food for infants. Washing Wash Satin. —Wash satin blouses should wash well in lukewarm suds of fine white soap or Lux. Bo careful not to have iron too hot. A tablespoonful of bread-crumbs added to suet crust for puddings makes it very light. When putting away furs or woollens, place pieces .of yellow soap with them and cover with newspaper—both are preventives to moth. j When using dripping for pastry or cakes, beat it up in a basin with a fork and add a little lemon juice; it will take away the flavour that many people object to.

Welsh Pudding.—"This is nicest with red fruit —raspberries and red currants are perhaps quite the best but wellstewed apples, coloured with cochineal, are a good substitute. Make some fairlv thin pastry and line a shallow pieI ~~

dish, sandwich tin, or soup-plate with it, greasing the dish well first. Place the stewed fruit on this, taking care that '-t is a thick pulp, not runny with juice: Make some rather thick custard, with an egg and half a pint of milk, if you can afford it; if not, custard powder is very nice. Pour the custard carefully cn the fruit. Put in the oven and cook slowly, and on no account let tho custard boil if it is made with an egg, or fruit and pastry will be a sodden, unappetising mass.''
