Three and a half ounces grated cheese, one egg yolk, two ounces butter three ounces flour, quarter teaspoonful baking powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne, watercress to garnish, a little cream, one ounce minced walnuts, water.

Mix together the remaining cheese and the walnuts with the cream. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pile mixture neatly on top of biscuits, and garnish with watercress. Ground Rice Cakes. Two ounces flour, three ounces ground rice, three ounces castor sugar, two ounces butter, two eggs, half teaspoon baking powder. Mix together flour and ground rise and baking powder. Beat butter and sugar together until they look like whipped cream, then add eggs, one by one, beating each one in very thoroughly, then flour, etc. Put in small greased tins and bake in quick oven about ten minutes.

Shrewsbury Biscuits. 11b of flour, 3oz of fat, 3oz of sugar, a pinch of salt, one teaspoonful of baking powder, the grated rind of a lemon, Mix together the dry ingredients with milk, roll out, cut with a round fancy cutter, and prick, then bake in a quick oven.

Orange Cake. As a change from the usual fruit cake try this one with an orange flavour. Three eggs, 6oz flour, soz each of butter and sugar, the grated rind and juice of an orange, one teaspoonful of baking powder, pinch of salt. Cream the butter and sugar, add the yolks of the eggb, and, gradually, the alfted flour, and beat well together. Add the grated rind and the strained Juice of the orange and the baking powder. Lastly whip the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and fold into the mixture. Pour into a greased, paper-lined, shallow tin and bake in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour. Cool on a wire rack. TO REMOVE SHOE SPOTS To clean rain-soiled brown shoes, try rubbing the spots with a flannel cloth dipped in warm water and daubed with soft soap (states a correspondent). Do not make the cloth too wet—merely sufficiently moist to hold the soap. If tills is not successful, wait till the shoes are thoroughly dry and dab the spots with benzine.and finish with a good leather cream. Remember that benzine is highly inflammable and must not be used near a fire or naked light of any description and not in strong sunlight. SOME SEWING HINTS. The fashion for hats of gingham, pique, and linen must be a Joy to home milliners; they are so easy to make. And when you wear these hats with a suit, make yourself a blouse of matching material. It gives the right touch of smartness. Beware of the new gloves without markings down the back. They have a most broadening effect on the hand. One ingenious girl has worked her own markings in very fine chainstitch in a contrasting-coloured silk. The gloves look smarter. Her hands look slimmer. And the markings match the colour of her frock. Talking of cotton gloves, have you noticed that the newest are cut on the cross? Like frocks, they fit all the better for being cut this way. The newest cigarette cases are made of striped linen, stiffened with canvas. They look so fresh and feminine.
