New York. Oct 27.-This is a growing

more clearly demonstrated than In the
steady eApars:o Of its ar interests and IN
TIE fact that the portrait painters are

FOUR GOOD ocToBnR RECIPES.
An English Rule for Making Sweet
POtntO Cakes.

Here Is an English recipe for sweet po-
tato cakes. which are decidedly toothsome,
and just now seasonable. They may be
served with luncheon or even with after
noon tea if you can give them some dam
~ and high-sounding name. Boil one
pound of sweet potatoes, peel, mash and
press them through a sieve while still
warm: sweeteu to taste: add one cupful
of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, the
yOlS of three eggs some powdered Gin
namon, the juice of a lemon After mix
ing this we'll add enough flour TO make
stiff batter; pour into small buttered
molds, sprinkle with sugar and bake in
quick oven.
Banana cream makes a nice desert.
Press some ripe bananas through a sieve
put them in a basin with a half cup of
fresh cream, color it pink, green or yellow.
Cut some lemon jelly, which has been col
ored some pretty contrasting colors, into
cubes. Line a plain mold with thin jelly
and arrange all over this. at the bottom
and sides, the cubes of jelly; fill the mold
with the bananas and cream, mixed with
sugar and some plain, LIQUID Jelly. Set
the mold on ice until cold enough TO turn
out without breaking.
A cocoanut cream TO spread on thin lay
ers of cake, which may be made Chat is
of milk, one half cup of grated cocoanut.
one cup of sugar, a small lump of but
ter. Boil all together; when it comes to a
boil put in one tablespoonful of corn
starch dissolved in a little milk, let all
come to the boiling point; when nearly
cold beat in one egg. Spread this on the
layers of cake and you have the cocoanut
cake which literally melts in your mouth.
Preserved Green Ginger.
Comparatively inexpensive Is the green
ginger root, which is brought here from
the West Indies in September and Octo-
Der. 1t can be preserved and kept through
the winter ready for any emergency; to
serve at luncheons as a sweet, or to add
to ice cream-indeed. ginger ice cream is
the ideal kind for a cold day. Select
smooth roots, scrape carefully and cover
them with cold water for two or three
hours. Then boil them in this same water
for half an hour-that is if you have
about three pounds of ginger. Drain it out
Of this water, cool in cold water and puI
over the fire again; boil in the second
water until it is lender. Make a syrup OF
four pounds of sugar and one quart or
cold water; add the shells and whites or
two eggs to clarity it, and stir slowly IN
iii il boils. Remove from the fire and
skim and strain through fine cloth.

John snrgent. the Prorhet.

Great as is his fame, and DESTROYS, as
every man and woman may be to go down
to posterlty. as portrayed by John Sar-
gent, the majority of possible sltters
shrink from his brush. Nearly every win
ter Sargent comes over to fill a few orders,
for he viii only take a few, and he never
gives price on his work until It is COM
pleted. Then he estimates the value Of
portrait on the strength of his own criti-
cism Of its merits. If he likes il himself
he win put on a staggering price, as in
the case of the late Calvin Brice; If he
feels displeased with the result, he will
coolly tear up the whole thing or place
a most moderate estimate upon it, and
women fear him because he paints them
as his calm, cold, analytical gaze OBJ
serves them, not as vanity or hattery
might inspire, and with almost nervous
dread his sister waits to see how he will
paint his or her eyes.
There is a tale going the rounds of the
studios that on one occasion when Sar-
gent delivered a portrait of a pretty wo-
man to her family they at first refused
TO accept il, on account of the eyes de-
claring they were the eyes of a mad wo-
man, not those of their relative. Sargent.
