FOODS AND DRINKS OF OLD ENGLAND

There Is a sort of fad today for early
English goods and merchandise. The
old poultry seasonings are used more
than ever, chamomile and chamomile
tea are again in vogue in the sick-room,
and angelica plant is for sale in the
shops and stores. Many years ago the
angelica was exceedingly popular. The
flowers were employed to give sweet
perfume to clOthes-presses and bureau
drawers, the tender stalks were candied
or preserved, and made palatable con-
fections, the leaves were used as pot
herbs. and the roots after washing and
scraping were converted into a medici-
nal tea. There is a difference between
the English and the American angelica,
the former being smaller. more delicate,
and more aromatic. The herb now in
the market is the English variety; most
The Washington times., 1902-09-28

of it is imported, but large amount
comes from this country, where the
British plant has been successfully ac-
climated.
All these old uses have been revived
and some new ones added 10 them
Among the latter may be mentioned ar-
gelica cordial, which is made OF light
sherry wine. macerated angelica leaves
stalks. and roots. and pure syrup made
from white sugar. The preparation
should be allowed to stand for sixty days
and should be then squeezed through a
strong bag or else in kitchen press.
The cordial Is OF pleasant brownish
color. with an agreeable taste and a
very rich odor. According TO its vo-
taries it makes capital appetizer and
stomachic.

first president was Mrs. A. NJ. Palmer,
wife of the well-known theatrical man

two unpretentious rooms in the Palmer
house, on West Thirtieth Street, and the
organization became a factor in New
York professional life. Since its incep-
tion the clubs membership has in
creased to $50.
Each year a large bazaar is given in

10000 plays on the library shelves. All
the important magazines. weekly and

periodicals are there for the use Of

to own home of it's own, and it is pro-

Women of Brains.

The Professional Woman's League,
however, has no affiliation with such
organizations. II is made up of women
whose mental status is unquestionable.
To belong TO the league a woman must
have brains. She must know the broad
path in life and eschew the narrow. She
must leave behind her all prejudice
personal feeling and any other attribute
which viii initiate against the welfare
OF the league as an organization. In
brief she must be a woman in the widest,
toliest sense of the word. Some one has
said that il is all nonsense 10 say that
woman has never been a success in any
field because it is an undisputed fact
that she has always been success as
woman. OF such women is the league
composed
That differences of opinion arise many
times in league affairs Is not to be
denied, for without them there would be
no organization, no progress and no life
in the club. That facetious gentleman,
"Pudd'Dhead Wilson," through his crea-
tor, Mark Twain, has said that IL is
difference of opinion that makes horse
racing. So il is that these amicable
dfsagreements, so to speak, lend color
and spirit TO the conduct of the Profess
