Angora Hood with Tabs 
Use celluloid needles. No. 4. 
Cast on 8 stitches. 
Knit across once. Turn, knit across, 
widen or make 7 stitches by taking up 
the rib stitch and knitting it. The work 
is knit back and across, leaving a rib on 
each side of the work. Once across and 
back is a rib. Increase 7 stitches in the 
first 10 ribs; you now have 78 stitches. 
Continue to knit until you have 31 ribs, 
but do not increase the sitches; be sure 
you have just 78 stitches and 31 ribs. 
Bind off very closely. Leave a thread 
about three-fourths of a yard long. Sew 
up with an over and under stitch. 
Now count 11 stitches from the back 
seam. Take up the 12th stitch and enough 
more stitches to make 15 stitches. 
The ear tabs have 7 ribs. Knit 5 ribs; 
in the 5th and 6th ribs narrow 1 stitch 
on each edge. Knit 1 rib, bind off. To 
finish the edge, crochet 3 chains in every 
2d stitch, making 50 picots. 
A pompon can be made by cutting a 
piece of cardboard as large around as you 
wish the pompon. Punch a small hole in 
the center. Sew back and forth over the 
edge, through the hole. When you have 
enough yarn on the cardboard fasten the 
middle so it will not slip. Slip the point 
of a knife or scissors under the yarn at 
the edge and cut it loose; turn the end all 
one way, fasten by winding yarn close to 
top, and fasten with a needle. Sew to 
the cap, sew ribbon to tabs to tie. 
I think I prefer woolen yarn or worsted. 
Angora appears to be nothing but cotton 
with rabbit hair twisted in, and flies all 
over and sticks to everything; it is a nui¬ 
sance. I have been knitting the caps by 
the dozen. J.n. B. 
Overalls and Candy Fondant 
Having read quite a lot in The R. 
N.Y. about overalls for women, I feel 
that I would like to add ray approval. I 
bought mine last May, and wore them 
all Summer. They cost me $2, ready¬ 
made, and had a full bloused leg, made 
with a band to button either above or 
just below the knee, or at the ankle. I 
wore mine buttoned just below the knee,

hot. Fill washboiler to cover jars two 
inches with water. Heat water in wash- 
boiler. 
Put apples through eider press. To 
seven gallons of the cider add five ounces 
of precipitated chalk (carbonate of lime) 
sold at any drug store. Roil in a kettle 
or vat for five minutes. Pour liquid into 
glass jars or pitchers. Let stand eight 
hours, or until perfectly clear. Pour the 
clear liquid into preserving kettle; do not 
let the sediment enter. Add one level 
teaspoonful of lime carbonate and stir 
thoroughly. Boil down rapidly to a clear 
liquid one-seventh of original volume. 
Test by pouring a little into cold water; 
it should have the consistency of maple 
syrup, but should not harden. Place con¬ 
tainer in larger vessel containing hot 
water, and allow it to cool slowly. 
Pour the syrup into hot jars; place 
rubbers and lids in position, but do not 
fasten airtight; keep tops of jars sub¬ 
merged two inches. Boil 15 minutes, 
counting from when water begins to bo3. 
Remove jars, tighten tops, and invert to 
see if covers are airtight. If leaks are 
found remove rubber, replace with per¬ 
fect one, and boil again five minutes. 
Danish Klejner 
I wonder whether Mrs. O. P., who gave 
the recipe for Danish roast goose, can 
give me the recipe for “kliners” or 
“diners.”. I spell the word as it is pro¬ 
nounced in the Danish language. It is 
a small cake, I think fried in lard. My 
mother is dead, and I cannot read her 
Danish cook book. To me apple sauce 
cake (a layer of bread crumbs fried in 
butter and apple sauce) heaped with 
whipped cream, and these little “Kliners” 
were the most wonderful treat in the 
world. They were made by my mother 
in three to four-inch lengths, about one 
inch wide, and a delicious brown. 
MRS. A. F. 
The following is my recipe for Klejner: 
Six egg yolks, two whole eggs, one-fourth 
pound sugar, two tablespoons cream, four 
tablespoons butter (be careful not to use 
the salt on butter) ; one pound flour, 2*4 
pounds of good lard for baking. I beat 
the eggs and sugar well, then add the 
cream and butter, and as much of the 
flour as it will take; then use the board 
and knead the rest of the flour in. Work 
it till it slips from board and hands, use 
extra flour. Roll, cut thin on well-floured 
board, cut a slash in one end, draw the 
one end through the hole with light fin¬ 
gers, and it is ready to fry in the fat, 
which must be hot; then keep even fire. 
There will be between 90 and 100 klej- 
ners. I strain the fat and use it for other 
frying, but not twice for klejners. 
MRS. 0. p. 
and they bloused over until they were as 
long as my skirts. They also have a 
bib effect, like the men’s overalls, with 
straps going over the shoulders, crossing 
in the back, and buttoning at the belt. I 
wore old waists with them that were too 
good to throw away .and too old to dress 
in. In that way I felt that I was mak¬ 
ing use of something that otherwise might 
have been wasted. I have picked berries, 
hoed, pulled plants, helped haul hay, and 
done garden work, ’tended chickens and 
done housework in them, and have yet to 
find the fiivst thing that is not done easier 
and quicker in them than in a dress. It 
certainly saves the washing. I’ve gotten 
my mother and a cousin in Philadelphia 
into the habit of wearing them. We had 
to stand a good deal of “kidding” at first, 
but that did not harm us any. It was 
my husband’s suggestion that i got. them, 
and he does not see anything immodest 
about them. 
Here is a very good recipe for candy 
fondant: Take the white of one egg and 
beat very stiff, add one tablespoon of 
sweet cream and a level teaspoon of salt. 
Mix with XXXX sugar until it will stick 
together well in a ball and not cling to 
the fingers. Separate into equal por¬ 
tions and add any kind of flavoring de¬ 
fin'd- I have used good butter for but¬ 
ter creams, and peanut butter is delicious. 
Lround nuts, canned cherries, ground 
strawberries, raising or any kind of fruit 
desired may be used. Pieces of pineapple 
covered with the fondant and melted 
chocolate mixed with it. turn out well. 
I roll out the mixture after it is flavored, 
cut in fancy shapes and let dry until a 
crust is formed. Then I dip in melted 
chocolate, to which I add a tiny piece of 
melted paraffin wax. This makes fine 
| hristmas candy, and is not all the same, 
bKe most homemade candy. The secret 
of making the best fondant is in making 
. “ s s °ft as it can possible he handled, 
just so that it will not stick to the hands, 
and work up smooth.

making some “pin money” at home?

An Economical Apple Pudding 
Slice five Baldwin apples very thin, 
chop a quarter of a pound of beef suet 
fine and put into a mixing bowl. Then 
sift on three breakfast cups of flour, add 
cinnamon or grated nutmeg to taste, and 
a pinch of salt. Mix all together with 
enough cold water to make a stiff paste, 
using a wooden spoon. Pour into a well- 
floured pudding cloth and boil hard for 
two hours, filling up the saucepan with 
boiling water as the water boils away. 
Served with butter and good brown sugar 
or maple 6yrup, this is excellent food for 
the children, and a wholesome dessert.

Saving Stockings 
A small piece of velvet pasted in the 
back of shoe where the most wear comes 
will save the stocking and keep the shoe 
from making a blister on the heel. All 
knit goods, when sewn on a machine, as 
in refooting a stocking, should be slightly 
stretched, or the stitch will shrink or 
break and rip. * j. ir. b.
