THE NEW BISCUIT BOXES "I never eat anything but a dry biscuit with my cup of afternoon tea,” is the frequent plea of the young person intent of keeping slim, when confronted by the sweet cakes and other fattening dainties provided by the hospitable. And so the biscuit Is coming into its own again at the tea table, and hostesses are on the look-out for some sort of receptacle that shall keep it crisp and fresh. The old-fashioned biscuit barrel is not a particularly lovely thing, and no very acceptable substitute seems to have been found for it, so it is up to the ingenious to devise one. I have seen lately both a gargantuan silver cigarette box (never used for smokes) X may say, and a lead-lined tea caddy of Sheraton inspiration, used for biscuits, with good effect. There is something to be said for the small biscuit tin that is covered in a fancy hand-printed paper, varnished to give it a resistant surface. I have met with similar tins covered in brocade, but the idea of a fabric in connection with food does not truly commend Itself. Glass boxes for biscuits are flat in shape, and circular. They are adorned with decorations in the form of birds, fishes, and mermaids, and have much to recommend them in point of beauty. They are made in amber glass, and also In one which is opalescent or milky in tint. The lids fit so well that the contents cannot become stale and soft, as is-the manner of biscuits from which the air is not duly shut off. TO MAKE AMERICAN WAFFLES Mix together a piece of butter the size of an egg, half a cupful of granulated sugar and half a teaspoonful of salt. Beat until light; add the wellbeaten yojks of three eggs and stir again. Now add, alternately, two cupsful of sifted flour and two cupsful of buttermilk or sour milk. Mix; add a level teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda, and stir again very thoroughly. Beat the whiles of the eggs to. a froth; stir these in lights, and bake the preparation at once in hot waffle Irons.

TRY VINEGAR! To restore its pristine brightness to a carpet somewhat the worse for wear, first sweep it well, then wring out a cloth in a pail of water to which a cupful of vinegar has been added, and go over the entire surface piece by piece. The cloth should be wrung out fairly dry. This process completed, go over the carpet again with the cioth rinsed out in plain water. * a * If, when boiling salt beef, half a cupful of vinegar is added to the water, the. meat will be deliciously tender and juicy. A little vinegar in the water used for cleaning windows will impart a bnUiant polish to the glass. When cleaning paint from window panes, soak a rag well with vinegar and apply. The paint will quickly disappear * s 1 * Old potatoes are vastly improved, when boiling, by the addition of a little vinegar to the water. •
