Almost every woman is a collector at heart, be it teaspoons, china, glass or antiques; ibut there is one collector's item which is altogether too popular — left-over food. Left-overs must be stored properly if they are to be used effectively at a later date. "Covered and cold" is the rule for keeping foods attractive and nourishing. If tidbits are congenial, store them together — potatoes, peas and carrots can all go in the same covered dish, Keep a jar in your elec- tric refrigerator in which to store the liquid that vegetables have been cook- ed in so that you may use this liquid to add flavour and vitamins to soups or cream sauces. USING LEFT-OVERS -Try combining a few spoonfuls of left-over vegetables with a white sauce or a tomato sauce or a tin of condensed soup to make a de- licious scallop. 2. A vegetable turnover is something we forget. Put diced vegetables in g square of pastry and fold over, then bake, Serve with gravy or onion sauce. S. Tag ends of celery, onion shoots, outer cabbage leaves may be sim- mered for soup stock, 4. If you throw away the hard ends of cheese you are throwing away a butter substitute., Even though very hard, let pieces float in gravy, soup or sauces removing unedible parts after the fat and flavour are rendered out. 5. Left-over egg yolks poached and mixed with salad dressing make a good sandwich filling or garnish for salads and sauces. 6. You can do any number of things with left-over cereal, Reheat it next morning with diced fruit, or chill it, slice and fry and serve with honey or cream. Combine it with scrambled eggs or use it to bind meat loaf together.

Mc. says: If you have some very old and treasured lace and you are afraid to launder it try this method — sprinkle some powdered magnesia or borax over it thoroughly. Wrap the piece 'in a towel and allow it to stand for several days, then shake out the powder and iron over a thin towel. Mrs. C. J. says: An old sofa cush- ion covered with oilcloth makes a good kneeling pad. Dirt can be wiped off the floor as well as the cushion, more easily. * * * • Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Advance-Times.
