BELL RINGS FOR POISON Some time in the still, dark night ' somebody, the wife, the. baby or yourself may get sudden ly ill, and somebody Will hurry to the medicine cas, or the pantry shelf, o r wherever the medicine bottles are kept In the darkness a poison bottle" -.may be grasped and car ried to the sick room, and in 4he hurry incidental to sudden illness a dose m.ay be administered and a- funeral held later on. Or there may be medicines that must never be given to children. Bell bottles that's by way of warning. Get a number of tiny bells and fasten a bell to each bot tle containing poison or any med- icine which may have a serious effect if taken unintentionally. The ringing of the bell will then prevent you from making a fatal mistake. FISH PUDDING -, One pound of mashed potatoes, half a pound 6f cooked, chopped fish, salt and pepper, two table spoons of brown breadcrumbs, two eggs and two teaspoons of butter. Put the potatoes into a "basin, add fish; seasonings, butter (melted) and beaten eggs and stir together. Butter n mold, sprinkle in the breadcrumbs and fill with mixture. Put on the top a few pieces of butter and bake for about forty minutes in a mod erate oven. Turn out and garnish with lemon and parsley. MENDING LINGERIE Often lingerie blouses afld cor corset covers wear under" the arms when they may be in good condi tion otherwise. One satisfactory way to repair this sort of break is to set in a, new piece. ' Use a dress shield as a pattern, making the pattern deeper and more of an oval than the shield. Lay this pattern to the wrong side of the blouse and see if it is the right shape and large enough to cover completely, the weak spot. A new piece of the blotlse ma terial can then be set in, with beading or lace, matching thafcon the blouse perhaps, and outling so that it will not have the ap pearance of a patch A tear can often be disguised by setting insertion in, in that place, and in that Way prolong ing the life of the garment. Perhaps an almost new waist has beln apparently spoiled by a, burn or a hole made with acid, or a disfigurement caused by a stain. See if there cannot be a medallion of some sort set in, large" enough to cove the bad place entirely. Unless the spot or hole comes in the middle, it may be necessary to set two medallions in one on. ' each side of the front. But do not try this sort of repairing un less you feel certain it will work out welU - It's going to be a miserable hard winter back in Ohio.
