HOT WEATHER COOKERY.

An excellent idea of lessening the housework is sent in to an Australian paper by on experienced house-keeper. She says:— "Wo women, who attend to our households without any hired help, have reason to dread tho summer, for the hours spent in a hot kitchen while preparing and dishing up meals are most trying ti both health and temper. I have found by experience that ono can save a great deal of work by devoting a morning every now and then to preparing the meals for a day or two ahead. It can be done quite easily, even during the intense, heat of summer. For example, a curry made and left in a casserole will keep perfectly fresh for a couple of days. Ox tail, beef olives, savoury haricots," and mineo . are also among" the dishes that can be held over, and for these the inexpensive casscrolo is a perfect godsend. Wo prefer tho thick earthenware ones to those of rather costly French fire-proof china. ' Tho food is cooked and seasoned in the casserole, and is then put away iuto tho safe or larder. It is reheated and thickened when required, and there is no dishing up, for the food is served in tho attractive receptacle. Meal pies can be made one day for use the next, and pastry, tarts, and such like sweets will keep several days in an air-tight box, and when reheated will be as crisp and delicious as when first baked. Wo often prepare 'different sorts of milk puddings two days before they a're needed, and lind that they keep capitally. My daughters' and many of my friends ore following this idea of regular cooking mornings, and find the scheme an admirable one." SEA BATHERS BEWARE. Take care of your hair.
