Simple hospitality beats elaborate entertaining in social life
Simple acts of hospitality please guests more than costly affairs. Inviting a visitor to join your family at the table shows welcome. A theatre bonnet is suggested for women and avoiding large hats or feathers is advised for churchgoers.
Practical Household Hints From Ladies World
A mustard paste will not blister with a pinch of rye meal. Hot peppermint helps when chilled to fend off a cold. Cocoa can substitute for chocolate in baking with less effort. A newspaper laid on the chest and shoulders under a cloak guards well against cold. A medicine dropper should serve one medicine only to stay clean. Apple jelly flavor comes from parings, yielding a clear red jelly regardless of peel color.
