GENTLY exacting without wearing out her
nerve tissue in this way. If she takes a
light lunch one-half hour before appear
ing at her club the food will do her more
good than any kind of stimulant. She may
partake of an egg and bit of toast, hot
beef sandwich, a bowl of clam broth or
cupful of clam bouillon or glass of hot
milk or cupful of cocoa. Oysters and sweet
breads are allowable on this bill of fare if
no substantial meal has been INDUCED in
for some hours previous
To be a successful leader in social or
club life a woman must keep coolheaded
and selfpoised under the circumstances,
and this condition cannot be obtained or
sustained by stimulating foods or drinks.
Dreamed Sweetbreads.
This is a simple but dainty way to pre-
pare sweetbreads for invalids, or plain,
light luncheon dish.
AS soon as sweetbreads are brought from
the market they should be placed in cold
water and allowed to stand for at least an
hour. Then drain, and free from fat and
the pipes, cover 'with boiling water; add
little lemon juice or vinegar and a tea
spoonful of salt. Do not allow the water
to boil but simmer gently until the sweet
breads are DONE about half an hour Take
them from the fire, drain and throw them
into cold water until thoroughly chilled.
Then remove the fine membrane and Sepa-
rate into small pieces. Melt two level ia
bleSpoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, being
careful not to brown it, add two level ia
bleSpoonfulS of -four and stir until smooth;
then add half a cupful of chicken veal
stock and half a cupful Of milk Cook and
stir until it thickens. Season with half a
teaSpoonful of salt, dash of white pepper
and a slight grating of nutmeg. Add the
sweetbreads, and allow to heat through,
and serve.
Marble Cake.
Beat to a cream half cupful Of butter
and one cupful of sugar, and then divide
into two portions, using one portion for the
dark and one for the light.
For the dark part take one-fourth cup
full of molasses, half a cupful Of milk,
yolks of two eggs, one cupful of flour, one
teaspoonful baking powder, half tea

light and add them to one of the PORTIONS
of sugar and butter then add the milk
and molasses. Sift the -four, baking pow
der and spices together; add to the mixture
and beat thoroughly for five minutes 1t
may be necessary to add a little more -four
that the recipe calls for If batter is thick
enough the track made by the spoon in
stirring will not Immediately sink back.
For the light part: The two egg whites,
half a cupful of milk, one teaspoonful of
baking powder, one cupful of flour. Add
the milk to the remaining portion of the
sugar and butter. Sift -four and baking
powder together and add to the other in
gradients. Beat to a smooth batter. Last
of all, whip the whites of the eggs to d
stiff froth and fold into the batter:
To get the marbled effect put into the
pan first, a large spoonful of the light part,
then spoonful of the dark part, and con-
tinue filling the pans in this way.
