Are Not Exceptional.

In our women's colleges especially GER
tain conditions of today are less favorable
to mental activity than those existing
twenty years ago. Then the college girl
was an exception in her community. More
often than not she came to college for pro-
fesSional training. expecting to earn her
livelihood by teaching and So with this
definite end in view, worked steadily and
closely. She felt. as the girl looking for
ward TO home life does not feel. her studies
to be directly related to her future success.

now, far more often in proportion-the

and deficient in social ease. but she took
her mind seriously. One hesitated 10 put
Arnold and Clough into her hands. The
college girl of the period the girl in the

world, comes in ever-increasing numbers
from the well-to-do. materialistc class.
She avowedly goes 10 college for the life
She is well-grOWn, well-dreSSed, athletic,
radiant.
She skins over her Arnold, from cover to

that Arnold had religious doubts" There

there is sometimes a touch of hardness
there. ICealism is a new atmosphere for
her. But she has a brisk. businesslike way,

ing, she is intellectually submissive. She
accepts what is lectured to her with pas
SveneSs whose secret is indifference. After
all, she thinks in her heart. youth. beauty,
charm. the genius for affairs the points
that count for woman in the world.
She carries, nevertheless, something of
tCllectual discipline away, something of
intellectual STANDARD. She knows how to
concentrate the working powers Of her mind
on a given problem. Her tastes in reading
are refined, her eye for nature is quickened,
her resources for enjoyment are multiplied,
her whole horizon is broadened. She will
be less easily imposed upon than her mother
by quackery in print or on the platform.
She may even distinguish between mediocre
ty and excellence. And perchance a seed Of
intelle ctual longing has been planted in her
which shall blossom in after years-if not
in her own life, in the lives of her children.

To each pint of cream allow one pint of
orange juice, one pound of sugar. the yoks
of four eggs and half an ounce of gelatne
Soak the gelatine in enough cold water to
cover it until soft. Then place over the fire
and stir until it is dissolved Beat the

sugar and stir until it forms a clear sirup
Whip the cream to a stiff froth and put on

Put the yolks of two eggs and one ounce
of sugar to cream and with one-half pint
of sweet cream cook to a thick, soft Gus
tard. Stir in one-half gill of orange juice
and half a teaspoonful of lemon juice and
stand on ice until wanted. Each variety of
sufffe requires a sauce of similar sort
made with whatever the chosen flavor may
be. To vary the method of serving inaivid-
ual cases, orange cups and cake mods are
sometimes used The ceases are simply
filled and packed, either in a or the or
binary freezer can, with strips of cardboard
laid between each two layers.

Orange Cups.

orange cups.
These are prepared by cutting the oranges
in half and removing all the pulp without
injuring the peel. Around the top of each
is pasted a band of firm wax paper, which
extends slightly above the edge and is re-
moved at the moment of serving. The cake
mold is made by baking sponge cake in
square pan, then cutting out all the center,
leaving a crust of half an inch in thickness.
The space is filled with the souff1e and the
whole placed in a can, then frozen. To add
still more to the variety, glace fruits can
be stirred into the cream just before freez-
ing, but care must be taken to select har-
monZng flaVOrS. Vanilla, chocolate and
almond also can be used, but in such cases
a pint of water must be substituted for the
fruit juice and the flavor used in proper
ton. When sweet chocolate is used half
the quantity of sugar will be required.
italian Tutti-Frutti.
The genuine tutti-frutt as made by the
Italians calls for water ice of two fiavors
and French glace fruits. To make an ex-
cellent one blanch two ounces of almonds,
mix them with two ounces each of French
glace cherries, two of glace apricots and
two of glace orange, soak the whole in
strip made of equal weights of sugar and
water until soft, then chop into dice and
mix with pint of already frozen orange
ice. Select low, fiat mold; over the bot
frozen, and over this again spread the
orange ice with fruits. Lastly, ill the mold
with pineapple ice and press the lid on
tightly. Then bind with a strip of buttered
muslin over the Joint. Pack in ice and salt
and freeze until very hard, which will
quire from two to three hours.
Chateaubriand.
Put four ounces of sweet almonds and
half an ounce of bitter almonds, blanched,
into a mortar with two ounces each of
sugar and cream and a few drops of orange
flower water, and bruise to a soft paste.
Then add one quart of cream, six eggs well
beaten, and three-quarters of a pound of
sugar and cook in double boiler until the
custard coats the blade of knife. Remove
from the fire and when cold add half pint
of cream whipped to froth. A quarter of
a pound of powdered sugar, four ounces
each of blanched almonds, glace cherries,
glace apricots and glace oranges, which
have been soaked in strip and chopped into
dice, as already directed; mix well through
the ice cream, close the mold firmly, bind
and pack for several hours
