Engineer j. r. Farwell of the Santa
Fe Central will leave Albuquerque
within the week accompanied by a
corps of assistants to make a prelimi-
nary survey for an extension Of the
Santa Santa Fe Central railroad from
Torrance, its present terminus, to Ros-
well, N. M. The camping outfit and
supplies for the engineers have already
gone forward to Torrance and the work
will be under way in few days. The
survey will consist of a preliminary
location rom Torrance to Roswell and
return.
Last winter officers of the Santa Fe
Central visited Roswell and made a
careful examination of conditions in
the Pecos valley with view to the
ultimate extension of the road TO that
section. Whether or not the present
survey has anything to do with the i'm

not known.

Some fine black and white effects are seen
among the hop" gowns worn at out Of
town resorts. The more splendid conceits
are generally the privilege of matrons. but
here and there a maiden frock will be
found in this artistic and dashing combi
nation. In such a case, especially If the
wea-er is in the flush of youth, the black
touch is of the most delicate description.

A Swiss gown so treated had the whole

loops or rosettes.

Gated affair.
If the wearer is a very young girl, an
organdie or Swiss gown may display these
ribbons tied in lingerie ways-that is to
say, the maSsed knots are lightly achieved
and invariably show dangling ends tipped
with single ones Curiousy enough, these
novel and charming ornaments sometimes
have the look of harnessed butterflies. The
roses, which are very large. are made of
satin ribbon in heavy quality, and have
an air at once bridal and gently sad They

Pretty Trimmings.
In this demand for floral ornamentation
a very subtle use is made of contrasting
chiffon applied to chiffon. Roses with rails
ed petals and curled edges form part of an
elaborate lace and embroidery trimming
and If the motive of such a gown is black
and white it is all the more splendid.
A superb French toilet in this combina-
ton was recently worn by youthful hop

white chiffon as the background of the rich
Confection the chiffon and lace flowers and
embroidery were applied to black with a
gorgeous result. The bottom of the skirt
was very bouffant. the edge showing white

of the black and white trimming, covering
almost all the lower part of the skirt and

into larger glass. The drink will then

Cocoanut punch is a favorite drink in all
tropical sea coast countries. The first and
principal ingredient for this drink is
young green cocoanut, the husk OF which
is still pulpy. Young cocoanuts are hard
to obtain here. but recently arrived con-
signments from the East Indies sometimes
contain them. Cut open the top of the
cocoanut shell. pour in some rum in a
quantity to suit, and add a tablespoonful
of sugar and lump of ice.

Shandy gaff dear to the heart of the
Australian colonist and to the Englishman

an acquired taste, but, once acquired, 1t is

beer must be of the best quality and light.
Orange peel is delightful favor for al

according to taste. This is a powerful
flavor, and should he used Sparingly.

Very Coquettish.
But to return to chaperons and, Incl
dentally, to their hop" frocks, 1t Is still

Greek in their simplicity, distinguished one
charming white gown. This costume was
made of white chiffon, embroidered deli
cately with gilt tinsel. and suggested the
box robe pattern improved by special
touches given by the wearer. The majority
of the box robe pattern gowns are too
skimpily conceived. and even the more
expensive of the models need to be added
to far the bodice is concerned. For
tunately many of the boxed materials can
be easily matched. and if they cannot the
tastes of the hour are liberal that any
effective contrast is admissible.
Among the box robes the ribbon trim
med nets lend themselves charmingly to
evening uses. Some of Them also show an
effective coarse lace pattern, in which case

with every row, gives an effective flare to
these delicate fiounces which have prop

good models may be found for less.

sober color and homely shapes contrast
well with the dark recesses under the

TROPICAL DRINKS
Acceptable for These Hot
Days.
COOLING DRAUGHTS

All Delightfully."- Thirst-Quenching
Liquids for Use in Torrid
Weather.
Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
Down in the West Indies, where the trop-
tcal sun always blazes fiercely, the English
planters and their wives have several ex-
cellent receipts for cooling drinks. They
might be tried with advantage in American
households during the hot weather. Here
are few of them:
Tamarind Drink-Get two dozen large and
clean tamarinds, put them into a stone jar
shake a quart of brown sugar over them
and then let them stand for a week. When
ready put two spoonfuls of the mixture into
a quart of Ice water, mix thoroughly and
drink.
This beverage is very cooling to the blood
and possesses remarkable medicinal quail
tiles. 1t is given in cases of malarial fever,
and works speedy cure without the inter-
vention Of a doctor. The tamarind is a
West Indian fruit, but it can be obtained in
most large American cities if one Is willing
to pay the price asked at good fruiterers 6.
If not, use preserved tamarnd, which is
sold in jars by many grocers.
Pineapple Water-Take the rind off n
large pineapple and soak 1t in a quart OF
water for two days. Strain it and swecten
1t to taste. Then put 1t on ice until 1t is
thoroughly cool.
This makes a delicious summer drink
ages, as 1t simply uses up the rind, watch
otherwise would be thrown away.
"Matrimony."-Take six oranges and six
star apples. Cut the oranges in halves and
squeeze their juice into glass. Gu. tao
star apples also in halves. scoop out the
soft pulp and mix it thoroughly with the
juice of the orange. Sprinkle little sugar
over it, crate some nutmeg and serve in a
glass with spoon. as the mixture is rather
thick
The star apple is tropical fruit which is
not often soon in American cities L IL
cannot be obtained, peaches make good
substitute.
Planters Punch-The Creole receipt for
this delicious drink is given in the follow
ing ancient doggerel:
Zone Of sour,
One of sweet,
Two of strong,
And one of weat.
This means that the juice of one lime
must be squeezed into glass and ini,iec
with one dessertspoonful of sugar. Next.
two tablespoonfuls of old Jamaica rum
must be put in the glass, and the glass then
should be grated over the top, and thin
slice of lime float on the surface. Thus
makes a very delicious and refreshing
drink and it is not strong in spite of the
rum. Jamaican planters say that when a
man has once tasted this punch he will
never want to drink anything else.
Here are some drinks which are equally
as good as the West Indian beverages re-
ferred to, and which are very popular in
other tropical or subtropical countries:
Claret SizZ.-Ths is the drink that cools
the sizzling throat OF the California rancher
in the burning San Joaquin valley, where
vineyards are cultivated and, consequently,
claret is cheap.
To about a pint of water put a spoonful
Of bi-carbonate of soda and about twice
as much sugar. Pour into this mixture as
much claret as desired. 1t will turn black

Cheese Cake,

Put two quarts of milk in pan. When
lukewarm add two junket tablets. Stand
this aside gently until it becomes thick and
jellylike. Then with a fork separate the
curd from the whey and drain 1t in a bag.
Put this into a bowl and add to 1t four
eggs well beaten. Beat to a cream two ia
blespoonfuls of butter, adding gradually
two-thirds of a cupful Of sugar. Add half
a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg and stir
this into the other mixture. Line square
dish with good paste and turn the mixture
In. Bake for half an hour.
