tSgyeet Omelets.

If you have not tried sweet omelets.
let me suggest that you should no longer
keep them from your family table, writes
Parker Quincy Adams in the Philadelphia
Times. They may be baked or cooked.

ordinary omelets. AS an emergency dish
they have few equals and also have the
advantage that they may be eaten with.
Or without sauce as your individual taste
or the emergency requires.
The general rule in the preparation OF
sweet omelets is to allow one tablespoon
full OF sugar for each egg, with a. dash Of
salt>in every case for a seasoning.
GTor an orange omelet beat the yolks of
four eggs, four tablespoonfuls of sugar,
a bit of salt and the grated yellow rind
and Juice of half of an orange together to
a light cream; fold in lightly the stiffly-
beaten whites Of the eggs and pour into
an ome1et pan in which q teaspoonful of
butter has been made hot: cook to a
light brown, fold, sprinkle with sugar and
send to the table. Many brush the omelet
over with yellow or brown caramel (hoD

is far better to sweeten it well and then
beat it a little just before folding it in.
One of the most desirable sauces for thu

Of the fruit. or you may make an extra
amount to be used for that purpose. Pour
it around the omelet
Any plain omelet OF this character may
be baked. but the top should be sprinlllel
with sugar before it is placed in the oven
The great point to watch if the omelet is
to be baked is the time of cooking. The
oven should be of the hottest kind. and in

And silver bells in chorus ring.

When the rathe sun, in waxing power,

Rites Must Be Observed-The
Amounting of the Queen.
Other Foreign Gossip.

Willie London is being swept and gar
uished for the coronation, yet there are
Il few crumpled roseleavcs In Queen Alex
andra's bed of roses. One OF these is
a very womanly trouble Cea, verify
trouble indeed, and that Is that the.
royal purple robe docs not suit her com
pleSion. The preference was Tor White
CT red. but purple is the prescTibed color,
so purple it is, even though 1t Is not be-
coming TO the wearcr.
White coronation robes. which the
Queen is known to prefer, have been worn
on three notable occasions, and curiously
enough, each royal wearcr has come to
a violent end. Richard ii. was crowned
in white satin, while the unfortunate
Henry VI. also wore white coronation
robe. When Charles l. came to BE- crown
cd and his intention to wear a white
coronation robe became known. the Earl
of Pembroke strove strongly TO dissuade
him from his purpose, but to no effect.
King Edwar,, also is not having every
thing his own way. He wished to short
en- the ceremony to forty-five minutes,
but DR. Temple. supported by other &C.
clesiastical authorities. has insisted on re-
tanning several ancient customs. SO the
ceremony will take ninety minutes.
The King also objected to being anoint-
ed on the breast, as well as on forehead
and chin, with holy oils, but this objcc-
ton has also been ovcrruled and so the
king is having n slit made in the corona
ton robes to permit this ceremony.
Queen Alexandra has been forced to
wear the purple robe, but she positively
refused TO have her face anointed, so the
holy oils are being prepared in the form
OF solid wax. for the Primate refused to
foreco that part Of the rite.
Another bit of royal gossip is that the
Queen has become a dcvotce Of bridge
