MUSHROOMS AND EGGS.

Tike several large mushrooms, and with a spoon scrape from the inside all the pink fur ; chop it small. Take the stalks and white outside and boil in a pint of milk for one hour, then strain. Put tbe fur of ths mushroom into the milW, find cook gently foe 10 minutes ; thicken with flour into a sauce, and place four bard-boiled eggs, cut in hilv-s, on a dish, edge upwards ; pour the sauce over.

THE WARM CORNTBR is the welcome corner in these draughty days of winter, when the fire glows wmui aud

o h eerrf vl. B v t — t hi s fire and its w a r m fc b draw the cold air into the room whenever a door ib opened, and tinderDeath the door all the time if the door does not fit; tightly. A loose mat iaid sgaiuet the eDtry is puahed away every time anyone comes m. It n batter to ta.ck a little strip of felt along the bottom of the door itself. A screen again does woadors in kespiug draughts out; and there is no more cheerful sight for xn incomer thau a comfortable armchair and a screen.

THAT ARMCHAIR, - however, should not slope too much in the back, or ,it becomes uuoomEortable to rend or work in. A WINTER TROUBLE that affscts many of us is cold, chilly hands and feet. They come from defective circulation

and poverty of theblcod.Poor blood is what the doctors call a ure m ia, always a prevalent trouble where women are concerned. It gives pe.ll id rheeks, fl *t figure, languidness, and a way f being easily i i cd. Very often it is the first step towards •• de-

el inc." or, as

people call it, consumption. Better stop ifc in time ; it is gooi to be rosy and well if you can. Here is a true story : Mis 3 Richardson, daußhter of the manager of a large brickworks at King's Dyke. Whilblesey, in Cambridgeshire, is a picture of health. Yet a little while ago she waa in consumption. Doctors attended, her, but the girl made no progress, and became so "weak that all quite expected her to die as consumptive people do die. By the merest accident the father found ont what cf n be done by Dr Wiliiams's Piuk Pills for Pale People. He read it, and s&id to his wife, " Here's somebody advertising, and if only balf what he says is true, there's hope for Jane yet." The same night he sent for a box of Pills, and before half the box was gono saw a marked changed. Miss Richardson is, in her father's words, "A woman again, and quite well." Her disease was a decline — consumption ; but there are no s'gos of that now. She was so weak that she could do nothing ; it appeared as if she hadn't the strength to walk. But Dr William*>'s Pills entirely cared her.

This is an example foe all women who feel languid, have a pain in the cheat or the back, or feel lhe need of a tonic.

DO NOT MAKE A MISTAKE

Have the genuine Pills which cured Miss Richardson, as I have just; told you. They are ■ only to be bad in a wooden tube or box in a closed pi ok wrapper, bearing tbe full came, "Dr Williama's Piuk Pills for Pale People." In case of tny doubt it i? better to send to the makers (the address is Dr Williains'a Medicine Company, Wellington, New Zealand) than to accept any substitute, for these Pills are not like ordinary medicine.

A PRETTY TIPPET AND MUFF. Tbiß if, as you see, a

very stylish addition to

a dress or oloth jacket — a tippet fashioned in velvet, and trimmed with ostrich feather and chiffon kilting, and a fascinating muff cii, suite. When the brighter weather allows of lighter and daintier toilettes thia will be found-
