NEW METHODS OF THIEvERY.

An ingenious crook has of late been
reaplng harvest in the uptown apart
ment house district. One day last week
woman who lives in Ninety-seventh
street was called to the kitchen of her
fiat during the absence of her maid by
the ringing of her dumb waiter bell A
voice from the depths informed her that
package had been sent to her address
from Broadway shop where mems be-
longings are sold.
Send it up she called down. what
is it?'
IT'S shirts the voice responded, "and
1t is c. o. D., and I can't send It up
till you send down the money. It's
against my orders to let the goods go
out Of my hands till get the money!
The lady of the fiat was not aware
that her husband had contemplated the
purchase of any garments, but no wom-
an can ever tell when the shopping fever
VIII strike a man, so she sent down
the money. 1t happened that her purse
held nothing smaller than a SIS bill, but
the voice below assured her it's owner
could make change.
The money went down, and she wait
ed patiently for the parcel and the
change. Neither came. She called up the
janitor, but he had been busy some
where else about the house, and had not
seen anyone at the dumb waiter shaft.

Turn the mass over and over and beat it
uniformly until it begins to blister and

When it has reached this state, pull off

crackers.

PRETTY SHAVING PAD.

A pretty device which may be made to

can be used as a background for a Their
mometer or tiny calendar, is here illus
trated. 1t requires but little time and
material to make it, and yet it will be
found very attractive wall ornament.
To make 1t, -eut two circles of buckram
eight and one-half inches in diameter;
cover one of the circles with satin Of the
desired color garnet being used in this
sample, and cover the other circle with
lining materially; tissue paper will do very
we'll for shaving paper pad, While some
muslin or silesia should be used for cal
endar or thermometer.
Cut another circle of buckram five inch
es in diameter, and cover with an en-
broidered circle of linen and sew on the
center of the satin-covered circle.
If the f1ve-inch circle of linen is edged
with pretty scallop worked in button
hole stitch it is so much better, and can
be applied to the satin circle without
buckram lining.
Now pasA the two large circles against
each other, fasten to it a pad of tissue
paper pinked all round. and finish 1t with
string Of ribbon to hang it by making
two pretty rosettes to cover the ends of
the ribbon, where it is attached to the
circle.
For thermometer or calendar, 20 not

of flowers to half encirc1e the calendar

cts Day.

The charitable institutions of all large
cities are constantly endeavoring to hit
upon new and worthy ideas for system
attic municipal charity for the poor and
systematic assistance for the deserving
81. Paul is no exception to this rule. The
local organizations have recently had
their attention directed towards the sys-
TEN of municipal kitchens in Nantes,
which is doing remarkable work for
the poorer classes and the laborers Of
that city. The plan has been tried in
part in several American cities, but not
exactly on the same basis 1t has
| commended itself to a great many of the
LEGAL people who are interested in study
ing the question of practical charity and
several SUGGESTIONS have been received
that in modified form it could be tried
to great advantage to st. Paul.
For several years Nantes has managed
system OF municipal kitchens, known
as Les FourneauX Alimentaires Munich
peauX, where persons without money
may present tickets and procure warm,
substantial meal. The city has also re-
Gently erected one of these buildings,
having in connection Herewith a dorrni-
tory, with beds for the accommoda ton
OF about fifty persons. These beds are
free to the destitute for a period Of
three nights, when they are obliged to
make room fer others. The sick are
sent to the hospital. During the stay at
the dorm1tOry each one is given two
meal tickets each day. These munich
pal kitchens are open from the 18th of
October until the 18th of April each year.
but the dormitory is open during the en-
tire year. Two meals are served each
day, the noon meal from 1920 a. m. untE
1:3e p M, and the evening meal from 5
until 7:30 p. m. With the exception of
the kitchen connected with the dormitory
the meals are not exactly free, but the
lrices are so low that no one is obliged
to suffer from hunger. Tickets emitting
the holder to one dish of anything on
the bill of fare are deposited in the
the city, where they are purchased by
the charitably inclined citizens, who in
turn hand them to the applicants for
charity.
The following is the bill of fare fur
nished daily, together with the prices:
Beef soup, boiled beef, beef stew beef
with sauce, Goldfish, pork with cabbage,
beef la ravigote, Stewed tripe, eggs a
la tripe-each plate 2 cents. Water soup,
beans and rice are furnished at 1 cent
per plate. When these kitchens were first
opened, the expense to the city was con-
siderable, but during recent years the
deficit has been gradually reduced until
last year it was only 5000 francs ($1, $40.
The total expenses for the same period
were $4,000 francs ($9,264) and the receipts
10000 francs ($7,72O. There is superin-
tende11t over all the establishments, who
receives a salary of $50 francs ($4S.25) per
month. In each kitchen there is a dt-
rector at 60 francs ($11.58) per month, a
cook at 45 francs ($S63), and an assistant
cook at 40 francs ($772), all being women.

BREAKFAST CAKES.
BY MIS-. MARY ]. Lincoln.

An Englishman, on returning to Lon
don after winter in America, remarked
on the variety and toothsomeness of the
hot cakes served everywhere at the morn
ing meal throughout the country, and
mentioned them as one Of his most pleas
ant remembrances of his sojourn here.
But not all Americans on returning from
trip through Europe bring home agreea-
bic memories of the English or continent
tai breakfast. Gradually, however, we
are coming to appreciate the simple rolls,
which, when perfect, bear no resemblance
to the American hot biscuit. or muffin;
and these, with coffee, prove sufficient for
many tastes. But it will take another
decade of years, and perhaps many OF
them, before we as a people give up our
homemade breakfast cakes, some of the
best of whicn are the following:
Flannel Cakes-Dissolve one-third of a
yeast cake in one-third of cup CT water.
Scald and cool one pint of milk Add the
yeast to the milk and stir in two cups of
flour. Beat thoroughly and let It rise over
night well covered. In the morning add
one-half teaspoonful of salt, one table
spoon of melted butter and one we'll beat
en- egg. The batter should be about as
thin as for griddle cakes and if too thick
add a l--.le more milk. Have the griddle

ardently, and found them more and more
pleasant as the days went by He de-
rived an added if ignoble joy from the
worry this course of study seemed to
give one Howard Griggsby. Howard was
a practical, Woodworking young lawyer,
who had always scoffed at Percy's liter
airy pretensions, and who when they
were boys at school together had gen.
orally gone ahead and won the prizes
while he was dreaming about them
1t was amazing to Percy how much
lovelier the world seemed to him when
Miss Murchison was with him. There
was something, he thought hypnotic
about ner presence. The sunlight was
never quite so golden as when flashed
her rose, carelessly observing and en-
joying it's red, crumpled petals, and the
perfume drifting from it's amber heart.
She pinned it under her throat, and as
he looked at it again a miracle seemed
to have been wrought. 1t was no longer
a rose, but some flower somehow fallen
from the walls of paradise.
Still he cid not realize he was in love,
but thought the feeling she produced in
him arose from some occult power that
women possess. But once she went off
on three-weeks' visit to friends in
Baton Rouge. 1t seemed to him three
years.
Then he made the great discovery
This at first did not disconcert him.
He at once resolved to cast the passion
out Of his heart.
He would see her no more. Though
he had been very attentive to her, he
had never expressed anything deeper than
friendship, and so could honorably re-
treat. How could he devote his time
to literature with a wife to care for:
Women are such exacting, egotistic
things, no artist could think Of marry
ing one of them He felt sure Kate
would regard herself as more important
than an 'exact adjective" or even a
great sonnet" No, he must not think
of marring his life by mating with such
an illogical, unreasoning, exacting, alb
sorbing creature as woman. If he
were married he might have to write
for money, and not for art. He burst
into a deep perspiration at the mere
thought of such a sin against art.
1t was not yet too late. He would
break off, and she might marry some
man more foolish than he. Then he
thought of Howard Griggsby. She mighS
she perhaps would marry Howard. He
started uncomfortab1y at this thought
How could he bear to have her marry
Howard? Howard had always gotten the
things he desired, and rather looked
down on him with contempt. suppose
now he should beat Howard in the thing
Howard most desired, who would have
ground for exultance then? Who could
afford to be contemptuous? Can we. de-
spise those who win what we most de-
sire? Had he not better marry her after
all, If he could. Literary fame is sweet.
but distant, and love, too. is sweet and
near.
He did not know what to do. He
pulled at his cigarette, but in 1t was
H,,,,-w

Browning, and opened it at the poem
