LAST OF THE HuGuENoTs,
Few Traces OF the Community In
the East End of London. ,.


the East End of London.
When Princess Charlotte entered
London for her marriage with King
George and the coronation reyels which
followed it. she passed from White
chapel to Islington through prosper
GUS French section known as Spital-
fields. 1t was the settlement OF the
Huguenot refugees. who carried their
industries as we'll as their religion from
France and planted mulberry trees In
large gardens where silkworms could
be fed on home grown leaves.
The descendants of these Weavers
We're rich and prosperous in the days
of George Ill, and they lived in line
old houses. with oak paneied rooms
and high latticed windows close under
the caves, where they could have light
for working their looms. There were
as MANY as q dozen Huguenot churches
in the east end of London during the
Georgian reigns, and when the beauu-
full Spitaifields church was built, with
its lofty spire. its bell early after sun
rise and again at curfew was the sig
nal for thousands of industrious weav-
ers TO begin or end their labors for the
day. The industry has disappeared.
the houses have fallen into decay and
the gardens are neglected. Spitalhelds
has lost its French aspect and been
converted into swarming ghetto.
In order to find distinct trace of the
Huguenot community. which had SO
honorable history in the east end, one
must now go farther out in Hackney
and visit the French Protestant hos
pital near Victoria park. 1t is a beau
tiful modern structure designed in imi-
tatfon Of an old time French chateau,
and it stands in spacious, we'll kept
grounds which offer a marked contrast
to the ordinary east end environment.
The institution owes its origin to a be-
quest made by a French Huguenot
refugee two centuries ago and to lib
eral contributions from weayers and
merchants in London. Work was be
gun near Peerless Pool in the northern
suburbs, where a hospital for poor
French Protestants and their descend
ants was opened and was long known
affectionately among the refugees as
La Providence When the growth of
suburban London rendered the old site
ineligible. the second building was con-
structed forty years ago and is now
the refuge of about sixty aged pen
sioners of Huguenot descent Detroit

Ham Very Useful In Cold Weather.
"Pan BroiIs" and other Wrinkles.
Through the cold weather the house
hold financier will find her meat 6ili
considerably lower if she keeps part OF
a ham on hand.
For small family the larger e1d OF
q medium sized ham is better than an
entire ham, At the time of purchasing
have the butcher cut several slices
from your purchase. These may be
rubbed with lard Or suet fat and viii
keep in prime condition for week at
least. The grease is easily wiped Off
when frying time comes,
Ham may be broiled, but for most
families it is best to pan broil'' it, for
in this way the fat is kept for frying
purposes. Pan cooked ham should be
cooked slowly. drawing the pan back
from the fire after the first few mo-
ments. Always freshen the first slice
cooked. and then use Judgment Some
ham is fresh. enough for immediate
use. 1t is unnecessary when having
boiled ham and vegetables for dinner
or baked ham for the principal meat
dish to boil the entire amount of ham.
Especially is this undesirable in small
families, where one soon tires of dish
often repeated. Cut off four or five
pounds of the ham in a compact chunk
and boil or bake it. leaving the rest to
be used later on in the same or a differ
ent way. One should remember that
the ham will keep if the sliced side is
rubbed with lard or cornmeal almost
indefinitely during the cold weather.
Do not use it so frequently that the
members of your family tire of the
name ham. Remember it is only to sup
plement and exc out the purchase of
other meat more especially for break
fasts and luncheons.
IF the ham has not been skinned,
pour boiling water over it and when It
is cool enough to handle scrape and
wash clean If the ham is a large
whole one it will require wash boiler
in which to boil. For the small piece OF
ham mentioned above use an agate ket-
tie. When the cold water with which it
was covered comes to the boiling point,
draw the kettle to the back of the
stove. where it Will cook gently until
soft enough to pierce with fork.
Change the water twice while dt is
cooking, adding boiling water each
time A cupful of vinegar added to the
last water improves the flavor wonder
fully. When the ham is done. take up
and set to cool. 1t should be skinned
as soon as possible. If too hot, dip the
hand constantly in cold water while re-
moving the skin. which comes off read
lily with the fingers just as one peeis an
orange. Put the ham in baking pan
and set in the oven for a time to draw
out the grease, which will tend to make
it keep a longer time II it shows signs
of mold, set it at once in the oven for
awhile
BY the way. cold pan cooked ham is
as delicious as that which is boiled IL
tile slices are removed from the pan at
once and drained that there be no sus-
picion of grease about them when cold.

bill and the subject was considered at
a conference at the White House be-
tween the president and several lead
ers of the house. The president has
also had a conference with Speaker
Henderson concerning the bill. 1t is
understood that while the speaker is
not wholly in sympathy with the meas
ure he will not stand in the way of its
consideration by the house. Indeed,
it can be stated on excellent author
ity, that the speaker and the commit
tee of rules, of which he is the ex-
officio head, will authorize, if neces-
sary, a special rule providing for the
consideration of the bill after it has
been reported by Colonel Hepburns

our own information is positive and
specific that orders for the mobiliza-

was three days ago and we are unable
to say whether the execution of the
orders is withheld in view of the ef-

Question of Cession of Danish West
Indies Not Closed.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The govern
ment here does not regard the ques-
ton of, the cession of the Danish West
Indies as closed by any means. 1t is
said that certainly the negotiations
have not been closed by any act of
the United States and if Denmark has
halted in the transfer it was from in
ternational considerations and the
conditions which caused the delay can
be changed only by the Danish gov
eminent. Technically the United
States has negotiated treaty with
Denmark for the cession of the isl
ands and not until next June will the
period of time allowed for the ex-
change of notifications expire. Any
time before that date the Danish gov
eminent is free to ratify the treaty,
and, as this has already been done by
the United States senate, the negotia-
tons would close with success. The
administration has practically assured
itself that the treaty could not be
again rataifed by the senate as it
stands owing to objections to it's form
rather than to the principle involved,
and this probably will be the last OPP
portunity Denmark will have to effect
the sale under these conditions.

HEIRS OF MRS. CHARLES FAIR
DESIRE TO SET ASIDE FOR
MER AGREEMENT.
DEMAND THE ENTIRE ESTATE

Claim That Mrs. Fair OUTLINED Her
Husband Thirty Minutes and That
He Had Executed a Will Making
Her His Sole Heir-AIIege That Mr..
Fairs Sisters PurposeIy Misstated
Facts in Order to Defraud Plaintiffs.
New York. Feb. 1O.-The relatives
of Mrs. Charles D. Fair, who, with her
husband, was killed in an automobile
accident in France in August last,
have commenced an action here to set
aside an agreement which they en-,
tered into with Mrs. Theresa Oelrichs
and Mrs. Virginia Vanderbilt, sisters
Of Charles Fair, not to start contest
over the estate. BY the agreement
Mrs. Nelson was to receive 1925, 900
and her daughters jewelry, valued at
100000 1t was claimed at the time
that under the California law Mr.. Fair
outlived his wife and therefore his
relatives were entitled to his estate,
estimated at $6,OOO,OO0. Mrs. Fairs
relatives now say they are prepared
to prove that she lived thirty minutes
longer than her husband, and as he
had executed a will leaving his entire
estate to her they are entitled to the
whole of it. Besides filing the COM
plant, counsel for the Nelson family
filed lis pendens against property on
Riverside drive and Seventy-fifth
street, this city, which they claim was
the private property of Mrs. Fair.
They also claim furniture, clothing,
silverware, jewelry, bonds and securi-
ties and real estate in San Francisco
of the total value of $4,000, which
they claim that Mrs. Fair possessed
Independent of her husband. They al
lege that when the defendants offered
the settlement, which was accepted,
they well knew that Mrs. Fair outlived
her husband and that the statement
that she died before he did was made
to defraud them of the estate.
