When the key .lias finished twirljng, cut and fasten off the ends in 'a neat tassel. The cord is then threaded through the holes in the neck. COOKING. Tea-timo triumphs.—Biscuits can be easily made at home if you remember to use fine sugar, knead the pastry very thoroughly, and not to cook them too long. Here are some recipes: Shortbread biscuits.—Required : 4oz flour, 4 oz fine rice"flour; 4 oz castor sugar; 4oz butter; 1 Sieve the flour and rice flour together into a basin. Rub in the butter, then stir in the sugar. Beat the egg and bind the mixture to a stiff paste with this, using only just as much as you require to make it stiff. Be careful to knead thoroughly. Have ready a floured pastry board, turning the paste out on to it, and roll about l-sth of an inch thick. Cut into rounds with a fluted cutter, or else cut into plain rounds and make dents round each biscuit with the forefinger and the back of a knife. Press a gla.ee cherry into the centre of each and place, on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a steady oven for about a quarter of an hour. Cornish biscuits.—Required : Boz. flour; 4oz. butter; 4oz. castor sugar; 1 egg; 2oz. currants; pinch salt; i teaspoon grated lemon-rind. Sieve the flour and salt together, then rub in the butter. Next add the sugar. Stir the beaten egg into the mixture to bind it, being careful to stir it in lightly. Add the currants, which you will have ready, well-washed, also the grated lemon-rind. Blend thoroughly. The mixture should now form a fairly stiff paste. Roll out thin and cut into rounds. Bake' on a greased baking sheet for about 15 minutes, when the biscuits should be a very pale brown. Macaroon biscuits.—Required : 3oz. ground almonds; 4oz. castor sugar; 1 teaspoon rice-flour; lj egg-whites; Halved almonds and glace cherries. Put the castor sugar, almonds and rice flour into a basin and mix together thoroughly until well blended. Beat the egg-whites slightly and use them for mixing the almond mixture to a paste—not too stiff. Have ready a baking sheet lined with rice or wafer paper (white buttered paper can be used, but it is not so good), roll the mixture into small balls (1 teaspoonful is enough for each) and place on the rice paper, leaving plenty of space between each macaroon. Flatten the tops slightly with the blade of a palette knife, and press either a halved almond or glace cherry on each one. Bake in a moderate oven till crisp and slightly brown; they will probably take about 20 minutes. When cooked, leave to cool for a few minutes, then trim the rice paper neatly from the edges. And, talking of rice paper, it is the rough side which should be uppermost when you place the little heaps of biscuit mixture on it, and the smooth side next the tin. You will find it a great help in forming the balls if you put your hands in castor sugar first. Castor sugar is also useful for dipping the blade of the palette knife into before flattening out the little heaps. GENERAL. About your house.—lf you keep basins on high shelves, they are difficult to get down unless you adopt one of these two practical methods: Either let the basins protrude a little over the edge, so that you can slip 'your finger in, or sections can be cut off the shelving at intervals, 'and then you will find it easy to get hold of the basins quickly. A panel of glass, plain or plate, not mirror, behind the service table or wagon in the dining room is an excellent and not inartistic protection to the wall. It can just be wiped over, after each meal, and always ■ yojir wall is shown fresh and clean under the glass. Pictures are the pearls of a home, but, like real pearls, they must be properly graded, not just hung anyhow on your walls.
