F. say that it isn't really difficult to DO, al
| though, like all good things, it needs
| thought and care.
Here is a recipe which a well known So
| ciety matron is advising to her friends
Cream together one-half Of a cupful Of
| butter and one n one-half cupfuls Of
! sugar. Add alternately two cupfuls of
-four and -three-quarters of a cupful of
| cold water, then the stiffly beaten whites
| of four eggs and one more cupful Of
| -four. Beat until smooth and light, then
| stir in two teaspconfuls of baking powder
and bake in three layers.
For the filing cover n ounce Of gum
| arabic with four tablespoonful Of cold
| water; let soak for an hour, then stand
| over hot water until dissolved. Strain
| into a double boiler. add one-haf Of a
| cupful of graduated sugar and cook fer
hall an hour; by that time the mixture
| should be about as thick as honey Spread
| -one-quarter Of a pound Of marshmalloNs
| on a plate and stand in the open oven
| where they will soften and run together
| without coloring. TO the mixture in the
| double boiler add the stiffly beaten
| whites of two eggs, one ~teaspoonful Of
vanilla anu tlG Sui 4a3AShAAqlCNSs 1880
from the fire and beat until cold. when 1t
will be thick and spongy. Spread he
tween the layers of cake-which should be
cold-ice with fondanf or boiled icing and
ornament with a row of m-arshmallows.
The cake is cut before coming to the lea
table, and is served on some dainty saucer
with wee coffee spoons.
Try it when you have a spare hour or
two.
One of. the most bewildered individuals
under the new order Of things appertaln-
ing to country life is the chaperon.
| Formerly she had her charges more or
less under her wing and supervision. II
she took a party of young people to a
nearby country club for any especial di-
version she had them all more or less
together, or at least. she knew approx
mately their whereabout and wnata-
bouts. Now, however, scattered over a
three mile golf course, she is practically
helpless.
"What are you doing here all alone?'
said a newly arrived member to a friend
whom she found sitting in solitary state
in the reception room Of the c. Club.
That is just what ! am asking my
SELF was the rueful answer. Il was
asked by their parents to chaperone q
party of girls and young men who want
ed to come out here to play golf, and I
nave not seen a single one Of them for
hours, while certainly, as far as l am
concerned, it Is not over ana above anus
ing to sit here and knit BY myself
Golf is no worse than bicycling" re-
turned her friend. Because I am fond
Of cycling l am in great demand as a
~chaperon on moonlight rights, and until
the roundup for supper at one Of the
houses, l never see my charges. Dut I
I'm wiser than you are, for | always see
that l nave an attendant squire myself
eswell,'' returned tho golf matron, it is
all a farce, anyway, and the sooner Mrs.
Grundy allows these up-to-date and most
capable young women to take care Of
themselves the better"
The ordinary furnace heated house is
a bad place in which 10 grow plants.
The air seems to have had all the
danapness removed, and that moist con-
in plants is not found. This may in

evaporation, which, while not supplying
a great deal of moisture, houl do IN
thing toward relieving the bad condition
of the atmosphere.
Place jars or pans of water in, around
or about the furnace, hang buckets of
water down inside the furnace pipes be-
low the registers, or place them any
where that rapid evaporation may DE
induced. Keep all the plants in light,
airy locations, but away from drafts.
Never consign a well grown specimen
palm to a corner of the room, though
it may look better there. Its beautiful
appearance will last only a short time in
the dark, close place. 1t may seem
strange to some, but the very best place
in the house, if the temperature can
there be maintained at an even point,
is the kitchen, because Of the constant
evaporation of water as it puffs forth
from the spout OF the tea kettle.

There was a time when it was not con-
sidered CONNIE il faut Chat was the old
fashioned way of putting it, to wear imi-
tation jewels. but now it is quite an in
dustry; they are being made by thousands,

every Imaginable shape. The elipticai
form and the barrel button form are very
taking. These are made to represent dia-
monde, emeralds, sapphires, malachite,
turquoise, pink pearls, opals and much be-
sides. Many of the barrel-shaped figure
on the waistbaDd, which are now worn
quite narrow; broad Wristbands are oft
Of date. Most of these several stones are
set in oxidized silver. and there are steel
buckles and silver o~Ees-indeed, every
Imaginable kind-but none are more fash
ionable than the paste, which have now
been made up into some of the most beau
rtiful shapes after the designs of Louis
XIV and XIV period.
There is certainly a good deal to be
said for the suggestion Of an American
writer that mother should exercise a
closer and more thoughtful supervision OF
censorship over the reading of the nur-
sefy. It has yet to be generally under
stood that the phrase food for the BRAIN
is no mere figure of speech. Diet and
such material matters were, perhaps,
never SO thoroughly studied as they are
today; but, after all. the mind must be
nourished and trained, and ought to re-
ceive at least as much care as its tene-
msnt. That is to say, there are good
mental as well as. physical "tuck-shops,''
and their opposites.
