WAYS WITH CELERY.

FOPULAR SALADS. Celery blends well with many foods, notably cheese. A celery and cheese salad is something of a novelty, and always popular. Cut the celery into short lengths or cubes, and mould some soft cream cheese into small balls. Arrange in a salad bowl, and pour over a rather thick salad dressing. Garnish with slices of hard-boiled egg. A salad of this description is substantial enough to be a meal in itself, but, of corusc, can be served with cold meats if preferred. Celery and cold cooked potato is another good combina-

tiou, especially when a tiny sprinkling of chopped onion is added. Celery and Apple Salad.—A mixture of celery and apple, with a suspicion of onion, makes a delightful salad to serve with cold meats. TJse twice as much celery as apple, and just as much onion as the family approve. AVasli the celery, peel the apples, and cut into half or quarter-inch cubes. Add the onion (or merely rub the bowl with a cut onion if you find the flavour too strong), and then, just before serving, toss the whole in a creamy salad dressing. Garnish with celery leaves, or with tiny curled sterns. These must be prepared some hours beforehand. Cut 3in lengths of celery, and with a sharp knife slit the stein finely down 2in of its length. Let them soak in cold water until the slit ends curl up in the approved manner. A sprinkling of chopped walnut makes this a salad fit for any party occasion. Celery and AValnut.—One head of celery, i'b shelled walnuts, mayonnaise sauce and a little cream. Wash and cut finely the white part of the celery, and dry m a clean towel. Toast the walnuts in the oven for a few minutes; rub off as much skin as possible, cut into small pieces. Mix celery and walnuts together- with two or three tablespoontuls thick mayonnaise sauce and a littlo whipped cream. Pile in the centre of a salad dish, and decorate with shred or curled celery and a few halves of walnut. This salad is delicious with poultry. Celery and Eggs.—Two heads celery, three 'hard-boiled eggs. Chop celery and eggs together, then cover with the following dressing:—One cup vinegar, one teaspoonful salt, one teaspoonful mustard, two tablespoonfuls sugar, yolk of one egg, one teaspoonful cornflour, half cupful of cream (or small piece of butter), and a little new milk.

lODINE STAINS.

Children’s cuts which have to be treated at once are usually painted with iodine, and frequently the iodine stains their garments. These stains may be easily removed with bicarbonate of soda.. First damp the affected ‘part and then -rub in the bicarbonate of soda. Repeat the process several times applying the powder liberally. Finally wash the articles in the usual manner, and it will be found that no trace of an iodine stain remains.
