COLD DRINKS FOR HOT DAYS! When the hot days come upon us, the appetite craves something cool and refreshing and fruit juices in suitable combination, slightly sweet- ened and diluted, are best suited to strengthen and refresh lthe inner man â€"or womanâ€"or child. Lemons, oranges, fresh pineapples, limes, all fresh summer fruits and berries, spices, extracts, pure water, ginger ale and carbonated water are useful ingredients.

Squeeze the juice from the lemons and half the orange into a bowl. Add the sugar and stir well, then add the water and stir until the sugar 'is all dissolved. Slice the remaining half of the orange into quarter-inch slices, cut the pineapple slices into quarters and set the bowl into a cold place until ready to serve. Plain lemonade is made the same way, omitting the other fruits.

ON A SEWING TRIP. A friend who had dropped in as I: was about to cut out a new dress .noticed by my side a light matting (dress suitcase. “Are you going on a trip?" she asked. “Going on a sewing trip,” I replied. She looked puzzled until I opened the suitcase and revealed the goods land trimmings for a dress, In the wide straps tacked with small up- holstery tacks to the inside of the lid were patterns, scissors and other things needed in sewing. Also tacked to the lid were little cushions for pins and needles. At each end of the suit- -case were pockets for thread, thimble, buttons, and so on. “Such a splendid idea,” said my 'friend. “The lid keeps out the. dust, and you have everything together.” It certainly does save labor hunting for things when I go to sew. When the inevitable intermptions come I close up the case and put it out of the way. It is easy to carry\it to any part of the house, or outdoors if I wish to sew thereâ€"Mary Mason.

Labeling canned goods in either glass or tin is quickly and easily done if you write directly on the surface with a crayon or chinaâ€"marking pen- cil while the contents are still hot.
