Southern Plum Pudding-This pudding
differs much from the time-honored English
one, in that 1t is steamed in a mold instead
of boiled in cloth or bag, and is somewhat
more digestible, while not a whit less
toothsome. The recipe given here, which
was secured from a Virginian, will be
found sufficient for fourteen persons, and
can either be cooked in one large mold, or,
if desired. the mixture placed in smaller
ones. 1t will keep well and indefinitely,
and, like fruit cake, is improved by age
If the family be small it is we'll to use the
small molds. and to reheat as required.
Weigh one pound of raisins, one pound Of
currants. one pound of suet half pound of
citron, one pound of grated bread and half
pound of brown sugar Stone and chop
the raiSins, clean and dry the currants,
chop the suet fine, sprinkling with little
flour, and cut the citron into thin strips.
Measure one even teaspoonful each Of ground
cinnamon and nutmeg and half teaspoonful
each of cloves and allspice. Put all the
fruits into bowl and mix tightly with a
handful of -four Add the sugar and spices,
the chopped suet and the bread, and mix all
thoroughly. Beat eight eggs until very light
and mix them with half pint of brandy.
Pour into the fruit mixture and stir until
well blended. Pack in a greasted mold and
steam for six hours. Turn out of the mold
and decorate with blanded and split al
monds. For Christmas day stick sprig
of holly in the top and place Jumps of
sugar saturated with brandy on the dish
thus encircling the pudding. Ignite these
and send to the table surrounded by flames.
Serve with brandy sauce.
French Glace Plum Pudding.-One of the
most delicious variations of the Christmas
Ssssert is a frozen pudding or cream, which
includes the traditional fruits. To make
sufficient quantity to fill two-quart mold
prepare a rich chocolate ice cream as fol-
lows:
Allow one quart of cream, six eggs,
three-quarter pound of sugar and five
ounces of sweetened chocolate. Sepa-
rate the whites from the eggs, beat the
yolks to a cream, then add the sugar
and beat again. Whisk the whites to
a stiff froth, beat them into the yolks,
and mix with the cream. Break the
chocolate Into bits and stand over kettle
of boiling water until 1t is dissolved. Add
to the cream and cook the whole in a
double boiler until it slightly coats knife
blade dipped into 1t. Strain and stand
aside to become cold. Prepare a scant half
pound of seeded raisins and currants. mix
and boil them until plump. Add enough
thin slices of citron, candied cherries and

apricots to make a generous three-quarters
OF pound. Cover them with sherry and
let stand until softened. Freeze the cream.
Remove the cover of the freezer can and
stir the fruit lightly through the cream.
Replace the cover and turn the dasher until
the cream is well mixed. Pack in mold,
cover tightly, and pack the mold in ice
and salt for several hours Serve with the
I following sauce: Beat the yolks of two
eggs with two tablespoonfuls of powdered
sugar until they form a cream. Place in
the double boiler and stir until the eggs
begin to thicken, then remove from the fire
and beat until cold. Add one tablespoonful
OF maraschino and stir in lightly half pint
Of cream which has been whipped to a stiff
froth.
A Famous Nesselrode Pudding.-This
well-known pudding, in some of its simpler
forms, is familiar to most lovers of good
things, but the recipe given here is eX-
ceptionally good, and approaches closely to
that served to the famous Russian minister
from whom it takes its name.
To make sufficient quantity to fill a
three-quart freezer allow two dozen French
chestnuts, the yolkS of eight eggs, one pint
Of cream, one-half pound of sugar, three
ounces of preserved pineapple, three ounces
of French glace cherries. two ounces each
of citron and Sultana raisins one saltspoon-
full of salt and large wineglassful of good
maraschino Boil the chestnuts, peel and
press the pulp through fruit press. Beat
the yolks of the eggs light and add to them
the sugar and one-haf pint of cream. Stir
the chestnut pulp thoroughly through the
cream and cook in a double boiler until 1t
forms a sort of custard. Then strain into a
large bowl and stir in the salt thoroughly.
Cut the pineapple into thin slices and the
citron into thin strips. Make a syrup by
boiling a little sugar and water together
Pour over all the fruit and let stand until
tender. When the chestnut cream is cold
add the maraschino, pour into the freezer
can, pack with ice and salt and freeze until
firm. Have ready an extra half pint or
cream whipped to q stiff froth; drain the
fruit and add it and the whipped cream to
the frozen custard. Stir lightly until well
blended; remove the dasher and recover
the can. Pack In ice and salt until firm.
Serve with the sauce, directed for the
frozen plum pudding, favoring with chest
nut pulp.
Christmas Surprise Pudding.-Make good,
rich vanilla ice cream by any familiar re-
cipe. Select a square or brick mold and
line 1t with the cream to the thickness of
one and one-half inches Have ready
cream whipped to a stiff froth, in which
glace cherries and pineapple. cut into bits,
have been soaking. Fill the center OF the
mold with the mixture. Cover the top with
Ice cream and smooth with a knife dipped
in cold water. Cover the can tightly and
pack In ice and salt for two hours. Serve
plain or with whipped cream. For two
quart mold one quart Of Ice. cream, one
pint of good sweet cream and one-haE
pound of canGied fruit will be required.

velously effective costumes, the unknown
dangers of the dressmaker are avoided. The
robe skirt is trimmed and completed up to
putting the band and the body is marked
out for sewing, so no adventuring is done.
And lest the dressmaker might go astray-
all women are not gifted in the mechanics
of dress-ask always for the painted model
which goes with the boxed robe frock.
Other pretty and inexpensive robe gowns
suitable for festive evening wear are of

Simple designs in these are quite cheap,
but, of course, the moment the tulle or net

The finger manipulation of all ribbons

A frock of fragile white silk point desprit
incrusted with fairy lace showed a return
to the gilt spangles Of the long ago. These

important parts in the dress of beauty.

Whether the gown of the present day VIII

1t was lovely enough for such coronet,
and the spangles, which were very small
and put far apart, went over both gown
and lace inserts, creating a charming unity
between costume and trimming Not an

He is the leader of many reforms in Eng

Doctor Lunn stated that he was not a
