THE COOKBOOK.

In baking bread It is better TO overdo
rather than underdo the work.
To make a good digestible pie crust
use cream instead of lard, and 1t will
be light and healthful.
If there is not batter enough TO ill
the gem pan, put cold water in the
empty space before setting the pan in
the oven.
The rich cheeses, which have the
largest percentage Of fat are those
which blend well with bread in sand
witches or with macaroni or rice.
For a quick cake beat until thick
four eggs. Add four tablespoonfuls Of
sugar. half a cup Of flour, little Gin
namon and lemon rind. Beat well and
spread on baking pan. Bake in quick
oven and cut at once
Sweet potatoes are much richer twice
cooked. Baked or boiled merely, this
vegetable is good, but when the bak-
Ing or boiling is followed by a subse-
quent cooking in the pan or in the
oven they are far better.
A fine cheese pudding is made by
grating Ave ounces of bread and three
Of cheese Warm two ounces Of butter
in n quarter OF a pint Of fresh milk and
mix thoroughly. Add two well beaten
eggs, salt and bake half an hour.

Wilmington Girls Do Not Drink

Miss Floretta Vining is q member
OF Boston's smart set, a score or moro
of prominent wOmen's clubs. and the
owner Of a newspaper. In the latter,
the Hull Beacon, she makes tho direct
accusation that American society
women, especially the young set, are
addicted to the excessive use OF liquor.
In part she says:
Il am simply paralyzed by what 1
See and know about the great use of in
toxicating liquors by young women.
THE knowledge have gained would
astonish anyone.
Il cannot object too strongly to the
prevalence Of drinking among the
women Of the higher classes.
1T isn't in one place; it is every
place. I have just returhed from Cali
.fornia. and everywhere have seen
the same thing. Even on the trains
the women carry TASKS, and they are
not merely for emergency, either.
Everywhere you will find them tip
'pling.
Everywhere, all over the country, 1t
is the same story. The cities are
worse. and the bigger the city the
greater prevalence OF the drinking
habit and the moral and the moral lax
ity that is inevitably, sooner or later,
the accompaniment Of it. Women are
to blame themselves, for men are con-
trOlled by the women they meet"
A well-knOwn Wilmington society
woman says, apropOs Of the above:
Whatever the conditions may be in
other cities. the drink habit does not
exist among the girls OF Wilmington
good families. Wine is often taken al
dinner, but the girls are always chap
erOned. They would not dream OF
drinking with young men alone OF with
each other unescorted.
In all communities. however, you
win find some who are transgressort
against the law. social and otherwise
and It is unfair to judge the majority
by these few"

ENerTsHmAN ANDrTURK. (
How the Former Obtninedssome Cash
Owed BY the latter.

How the Former ObfniredfSome Cash
Owed by thc Latter.
An Engllshman has Jmst had a very
curious experience says the London
Telegraph. lie had lent a Turk some
money. but the man was unable to.
pay and on his deathbed laid a par
ticular charge on bis wife. and chill
dren to meet the debt. The-eldcst son
was making arrangements according
ly, but also died, and he, too, begged
his family to pay the money as soon
as they could.
One day the Englishman received n
visit from member Of the family,
who said that there were now four
members Of it left, and they were
ready to pay, but one of the daughters
refused to subscribe her share declar-
ing that the money was never really
lent. The others, however, wished to
settle the matter and If the English
man would come TO the house it would
be arranged. But" the Turk added.
III you see there IS any difficulty just
I say that you leave it to be settled in
the next worldr'
Accordingly the Englishman went to
the house at the appointed time and
met the family in the presence Of a
mollah, the ladies' being behind a
screen. The mollah began by asking
IL he had truly lent the money, how
much It was and if he would take any
less. One OF the women behind kept
saying It was all fraud. The English
man then declared that he had lent the
money that he had not uSlSed for it.,
that they had told him 10 come and
get 1t and II they did not want to pay
1t he would leave the matterdo be'set-
tied I'm the next world.
There was dead silence for n fewlmo-
ments, and then the women called
their brother. and each paid her share
without a word. II seems the prospect
of meeting the father in the ether
world without having carried out his
wishes was too serious a thing to face.

vice met with the most violent opposi

clerks and telegraphists had been suc-
cessfully employed in England and in
France The right of women to prac-
tice medicine was called in question
only three years ago, when a committee
OF experts declared that the idea was
too preposterOus to be seriously dis
cussed. In 1899 a proposal to establish
gymnasia for girls was likened by the
Prussian Minister of Worship TO a
little spark which should be put out at

German woman is growing impatient

Burnt Wood Work Popular

A large number OF women are de
voting themselves to the burnt wood
art, and the pretty effects they achieve
are well worth the while.
The designs now to be seen in the
shops and from the amateur are much
improved from the crude ideas last
year. They are particularly adapted
for the summer home, which may be
beautified in this style.
Settles. piano stools, tables, tabOur-
cites, smoking sets, book racks, chairs
in endless shape and design. Ping
pong Tackets are now being done in diff
ferent colors and insignia Of the vari-
GUS colleges.
The most attractive card tables are
seen decorated in this; they are round,
oval, square, with several or only one
ledge. An effective thermometer has
the frame of golden copper, long and
fiat. decorated in daisies.
Panels on doors are thought to be
quite a novelty, and truth to tell they
are. The back and seat Of a chair will
be carved in a Romney portrait.
There is really no limit to the sub
iect, as the better the artist the more
versatile the designer viii be.
A few wise bnes are making Xmas
articles. which il one has enough in
ones own house Of this new decorative
work is a good scheme. There are
shirt waist boxes TO be found In burnt
wood, some are charming.
One in particular has a fleur de lis
upon it. The body of the box is brown
but the design most covers it. The
eur de lis. all purple, upon a pale
green background, is executed in q
highly artistic style.

However hopeless you may consider
your case, be slow to fly TO drugs for
relief from insomnia. A rubber bag full
of broken ice spplied TO the back OF

feet are highly recommended as n RENE
dy for insomnia even in obstinate cases.
The circulation is equalized by this
treatment.
The secret Of hot milk cure also rec
commended for sufferers from insomnia
lies in slipping the beverage. The act
of slowly swallowing the liquid is
soothing in its effect and generally
produces the much desired drowsy feel
