DISCOVERIES.
Mrs. Frank J. Graham, Chairman.
The old saying "'Tis the little things in life that count" has in-
spired us to give you this chapter of little things that have counted
in the lives of others. It is our sincere wish that "Discoveries" may
prove of use to the possessors of the Atlanta Woman's Club Cook
Book.
REFRIGERATORS — To keep refrigerators pure, wash out
twice a week with sal-soda and cold water.
Mrs. R. M. Striplin.
MERINGUE — If meringue or any egg mixture is cooked in
oven too hot, it invariably falls. Cook in moderate oven or leave
oven door open.
Mrs. W. B. Price-Smith.
FISH — will scale much easier if dipped into boiling water.
Mrs. Porter King.
IODINE — may be removed from any fabric by soaking the
article in lime water.
Mrs. Alonzo Richardson.
SILVER — To clean easily, put pieces into a large pan of
boiling water, into which you have put a small amount of Ivory
soap flakes. When tarnish has disappeared, rinse in hot water and
dry thoroughly.
Mrs. M. H. Stevens.
SHERBET— In making fruit sherbet, add a pinch of salt.
Sherbet will have more body and taste better.
Ida Crossett.

GILT FRAMES — When gilt frames are new, go over with a
coat of colorless varnish. All specks can then be washed off with
water without injuring.
Mrs. W. F. Melton.
CLEANING FLUID FOR BLANKETS.
2 bars ivory soap (grated). 1 gal water.
6 tbls. powdered borax.
Mix above ingredients thoroughly, place on fire and dissolve.
When cold add 6 or 8 tbls. household ammonia. Make this mixture
the day before planning to use. This forms a white jelly which,
when used in the proportion of a cup of mixture to several gallons of
water, cleanses perfectly.
TO SET COLORS.
1 tbls. alcohol. 1/2 gal. water.
1 tbls. turpentine. 1/2 cup salt.
Soak goods over night to retain color. Fold cloth carefully and
place in tub, pouring over the above mixture. The next morning
take out, but do not wring. Stretch on line and pin with clothes
pins. Cloth thus treated needs pressing. If goods should be shrunk,
heat the mixture before pouring over.
Mrs. Hugh Willet.
PUNCH — When making punch, put large silver spoon in bot-
tom of bowl, add ice. In this way there is no danger of breaking
bowl. Put silver teaspoon in jelly glass. You can fill slowly with
no danger of breaking glass.
Mrs. J. A. Carlisle.
CURDLING — In serving acid fruits, put a large piece of ice
in dish with fruit; then pour cream over all. The cream will not
curdle.
Mrs. Lee Hagan.
MINT — Fresh mint and parsley placed in air-tight fruit jars
will keep in good condition for a number of days.
Mrs. Beaumont Davison.
RECIPE HOLDER — Paste an envelope in your cook book for
new recipes.
Miss Cobble Vaughn.
TO LOOSEN FRUIT SKINS— To quickly peel ripe tomatoes—
and peaches, immerse for a moment in boiling water, which will
loosen the skin.
Mrs. Chas, Evans.
TO BEAT EGGS— In beating eggs separately add pinch of salt
to whites. They beat more quickly in this way. Then add a little
of the beaten whites to the yolks as the yolks beat up nicer.
