BERRY DESSERTS,
Some New and Excellent Recipes for Short
Cakes.

Cakes.
With the coming of Strawberries a
wide variety of tooth some desserts are
opened up to the diner. For this first
Of all fruits lends itself readily to sim
pie ''fxin's' and alone, unadorned, is
sufficient to please the palate of the
veriest epicure. ...l.
Shortcake is byword, but shortcalxe
is seldom made properly. Rightly con-
structed, this delicacy is of two sepa-
rate sorts-the genuine sponge cake
variety and the real shortcake, a bis
cult paste made with baking pow
der and not raised. These biscuit
layers are then split and the
berries placed between and on
top, the whole being afterward COW
cred with a rich cream. For the other
sort of shortcake the sponge cake is
baked in round tins, and each layer is
surmounted with whipped cream and
well.sugared berries laid closely to-
gether. a1tH" a.
Strawberry Bavarian cream, straw
berry cream tarts and strawberry syl'
labub are other pleasing variations Of
dainty sort. In making the second
of these, stew the berries and mix
with corn starch, adding whipped
cream when this mixture is put into
the pastry. For syllabub put the Der
ries into the oven and strain out the
juice to add to whipped cream.
Berry sauces for buildings are to be
highly recommended. They are made
in this wise: Put pint of strawber
ries into the oven with a little sugar.
The heat draws the juice out, and this
juice is to be whipped and stirred into
a hard butter and sugar sauce. Y,

which young lady he had escorted
thither, he was pulled up by certain
sense of pride and self-importance.
One Sunday evening when he was
calling on Miss Hadley she described
to him in such ALLOWING manner, with
such pretty smiles on her full lips and
such marvellous light in her dark
eyes-these were Rcggies thoughts
during the descriptions charity fair
which was to be held the following
week that he made mental resolve to
purchase an absurdly large number of
tickets. And she was to be In charge
OF the booth where discarded but still
useful articles of clothing would be re-
ceived for the deserving poor, who had
suffered so much during the hard times.
1t was such nice, practical idea, she
thought, which Is equivalent to saying
he thought so too.
When he left that evening he wrote
1t all down in his memorandum, for 1t
was not safe, he found, to trust too
much to his mind even then.
The opening evening of the fair
came and Reggie consulted the little
book, that its enlightenment might
put all shadows of doubt to fight, and
being assured of the rectitude of every.
thing he arrayed himself for the fete.
When he was about to start very
omiuous thing occurred. He tried nc
less than dozen times toignite pen.

old time symptom made him very nerv.
GUS. He walked down to the hall where
the fair was to be held, and entered.
He hoped to heavens he wouldn't make
any beastly break tonight. He
slipped off his heavy, fur-lined overcoa,
he was very fond of this particular
coat-and looked about for that indis'
pensable booth which Is fundamental
to all successful fairs, where for the
small bride of dime they generously

seemed to see all those girls he had
offended pointing warning fingers at
him, and he shiyered. Gathering his

plimentary to himself.
Throughout the evening, while he
was being swindled at the various
booths. he was endeavoring to form
some scheme which might recover for
him the much-prized overcoat. But
his thoughts refused to approach con-
centration, and at last he gave up in
despair, and slipping out by side way
where there were but few people to be
encountered, he summoned cab, and
tying a handkerchief over his head
rode home in company with his bitter
musings. Before he reached his door,
however, happy thought had come
to his deliverance. How stupid OF
course he could see Miss Hadley after
the fair had closed and explain it all to
her.
He made several visits to the fair
after that evening, but was careful to
avoid the discarded clothing booth. He
did not care to tell Miss Hadley there
of his mistake, and she would be sure
to thank him again If she saw him, and
that would put him TO terrible confu-
sion.
The Charity Fair" came to an end,
and one evening shortly after its sue
cessful close Mr.. Reginald Winters was
waiting before coy open fire in the
spacious hall of the Hadley house for
Miss Mae to appear.
His plan was all arranged. He knew

Thrifty English Tramps. s.

Two nights slept in straw-stacks,
and each time had fully dozen COM
panions, They called themselves "free
dossers," and in one way they were
rather amusing-in fact, new species
of tramp: they were determined not to
spend copper of what they begged.
1t seems that this sort of fellows start
out from London early in the spring,
and batter" all summer. In the
autumn they return to London with
their ''swag," ard spend the winter in
some comfort. On their travels they
either beg what they need or go with
out. If they can not beg a lodging,
they sleep in barns, brick-yards, and
straw-staclss; and from early in March
till late in September they do not
squandef single halfpenny that
comes in their way. / had never be-
fore met this variety of tramp, and ]
doubt very much whether they would
be allowed to associate with the real
American hobos; for the true tramp
likes more generosity among his fell
lows, and when he meets a stingy
brother he is likely to give him wide
berth. Josiah Flynt, in Century.
