lamb Is an attractive dish at any time al
ways presenting feStal appearance. 1t is
especially easy TO serve for inexperi-
enced carver, who dstrusts his ability to
cope with fowl or large roast before folks
II consists of rib chops, trimmed and tied
or skewered together, then roasted to a
rich brown in hot oven The butcher will
attend to putting 1T in shape. 1t Is roasted
the meat side down, bones in the air, and
covered with oiled paper to prevent black
enlng. The center may be filled with fine
chopped meat or forcemeat of crumbs
and fine herbs. Basic often while roast
ing When ready to serve garnish with DO
tato roses or mounds of mashed potatoes
interspersed with sprigs of parsley. Dor
der or peas usually goes with this roast
When carving, simply cut through the con-
nection between the ribs and serve each
guest with a rib and portion of the force
meat, potato and peas.
Potato Roses.-Select round instead of
long potatoes; wash, peel and let them lie
in cold water for a half hour Now with
sharp knife cut round and round into
ribbons, keeping the strips nearly of one
width as possible. Keep on peeling you
would an apple, until the potato is used
IN. The Feelings must not be too thin or
else they would break. Have in readiness
a kettle OF hot fat, drop in the roses and
fry until lightly Drowned. Take up, drain,
sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and
serve. 1t takes about ten minutes to cook
them.
Potatoes Persllade.-This is another deco
rative way of cooking potatoes. Peel large
potatoes. and with a potato scoop cut out
balls about the size of an olive. Cook
slowly In boiling sailed water about ten
minutes, or until they can be pierced with
out breaking. Drain and shake carefully
until dry. Pour over them a tablespoonful
of melted butter, then, when we'll coated,
roll in minced parsley and sprinkle with
salt and pepper
Mint Jelly.-Mint jelly or mint sherbet
is the best accompaniment for lamb or
mutton. To make the jelly, pour two cups
of boiling water over a bunch of freshly
bruised mint leaves, then simmer gently
for ten fifteen minutes. Strain and to
a pint of the liquid add one package of cur
rant or lemon of any of the patent jells
or half package of gelatine that has been
soaked in little cold water reserved from
the amount measured out for the tea. Add
sugar to sweeten and lemon juice to make
as acid as desired. Stir until dissolved and
set away to cool. AS II begins to thicken
stir In two tablespoonful of capers; then
pour into one good-sized mold or tiny in
dividual molds and set away to harden

ODD CRoCKERY FOR SUMMER.
Colored Glassware is Revived for Fruit
Dishes
Written for The Star.

Written for The star.
In warm weather no one thing adds more
TO the appetizing appearance of food than
the dish in which it is served. Dainty odd
plates and dishes count for so much in the
success or failure of the housewives cater
ing that with the balny breezes of Easter
tide her mind turns toward the replenlshlnS
of the china closet. Never was there year
when she could pick up 50 many quaint and
fascinating novelties. each dish being pecu-
liarly suited for the service of the summer
dainty for which it is intended
Colured glassware offers the greatest
temptation to the susceptible housewife
Glass boats in berry red or leaf green stand
up from the table in gilt or silver standards
and furnish most attractive receptacle for
fruit. one of silver gilt has hgure with
wide spreading wings on either side and
supports a boat of deep green glass. y cir
cular glass fruit dish of berry red Is
encircled by large gold crocuses, the petals
of which form a jagged edge. Small glass
dishes for serving stewed fruit or berries
are decorated with fruit in natural colors
Decidedly unique are imported receptacles
for fruit knives. y combination of fruit d sh
and knife holder shows a lacquered basket
bound with nickel and having half a dozen
nickel rings on either side, in which ebony
handled knives are slipped. For knives
alone come green porcelain frog stuck all
over with gilt handles, a toadstool of porce-
lain, half an apple in delft ware, holding
delft-handled knives. or a gilt crown, from
which project silver gilt handles.
The silver ice pitcher is claSsed among
unused antiquities. In its place cooling
draughts of ice water can be drawn from
small barrel or deep covered jar of blue
delft crockery. with small nickel faucet and
claw feet These jars are also used for
serving punch or lemonade at a tea or re-
ception.
New and popular salad sets consist of
wide circular bowl and a deep plate, both
charmingly decorated. Many of the bowls
contain separate pieces of porcelain filled
with holes in the bottom. This allows ice
to be placed under the salad without wet
ting it, or If the salad comes frosty from
the cooler the water drips into the under
bowl or plate and leaves the salad dry.
a salad set in Dutch ware is of cream-col-
ored porcelain. decorated with Dutch
skating scenes in light green and brown.
Another set in English ware show. luscious
purple plums on the big bowl and plate.
The very cool-looking dishes made in imi-
tation OF lettuce leaves, which have been on
the market two seasons. can now be pur-
chased IN sets of half a Dozen with large
salad bowl to match, for the very reason
able price OF $3.50. Bowls Of japanese pa
pier mache are also used for mixing and
serving salads.
a long-felt want has been supplied by an
asparagus platter, with a porcelain sieve
strainer and small ledge holding a cup
for dressing. Asparagus plates for individ-
udl service have three grooves, the center
one for the long stalks and the other two
for dressing and demolished ends of aspara-
gus, respectively.

For a Christian festival concentrating
the resurrection of the Prince of Peace
there has ever been tremendous amount
of pickering among theologians as to just
when the queen of festivals is most prop
erly celebrated. The bitterness of dissen-
sion between the Christians Of Jewish and
Gentle descent led to the converting of the
Nicaean council by Emperor Constantine in
the fourth century, and though its members
finally buried the ecclesiastical Ratchet with
the agreement that Easter shall hereafter
be kept on one and the same day through
out the world" there has ever been, and is
still, discrepancy between Its observance
by the eastern and western churches, ac-
cording as TO whether the old or new cal
endar is followed. In the manner of its eel
ebration. however, there is great unanim-
ty; flowers, feasting, singing. bells. fresh
garments. out of the black mold the pure

to the proper celebration of the day. while
others are stcklers for having the last of
their winters mincemeat disposed of at
Easter. Flawns, a sort of cheese cake, or
baked custard with currants is another
English dish that holds good throughout
Easter week.

Annual Exhibition of the
Capital Camera Club.
PRIVATE VIEW AND RECEPTION
IN HEMICYCLE OF CORCORAN
GALLERY THIS EVENING.

The fourteenth annual exhibition of the
Capital Camera Club which opens this
evening in the hemicycle of the Corcoran
Gallery with a private view and reception
will prove without doubt an event of much
interest 1t stands for the most advanced
work produced through the medium of the
camera, and it sets forth in attractive form
204 pleasing pictures.
The majority of these have been con-
tribUted by local photographers, though the
out-of-town contingent is larger this year
than ever before, and some of the prints
have been sent from az great distance as
California. The lists were open to all who
were endeavoring to promote the advance
ment of pictorial photography, but the
standard maintained was SO high that only
half the number of prints submitted gained
adm isson
Each print was judged upon its pictorial
merit rather than its technical excellence,
and to insure this position the jury of selec-
ton was composed entirely of artists, none
of whom were members of the club. The
personnel of this jury consisted OF Mr..
Richard n. Brooke, president of the Society
OF Washington Artists; Mr.. James Henry
Moser, president of the Washington Water
Color Club; Mr. h, c. Messer, director OF
the Corcoran school; Mr.. Harold Macdonald
and Miss Mathilde Mueden. TO have been
passed by such jury Is in itself a seal or
merit and a real distinction.
Pictorial Photography.
Stree photography came modesuy to
knock at the door of fine arts much has
been written and said in relation to it, but
there are still apparently many who fail
TO comprehend it's scope and aim. There is
wide divergence between the amateur hit
aEd-miss photography and the studied pro-
ductions of the pictorial camerists-as wide,
indeed. as between the work of the latter
and that of the professionals. whose sole
business is to please the public. Pictorial

process they are not altogether different
They are gum chromate prints, made IN
each case from one negative used two or
three times to give as many separate print
ings-one over the other on the same paper.
For the first impression the gum which
carries the sensitized medium on to the
paper conveys also pigment-the frst
color. After printing and developing, an OF
this which is not wanted is washed off and
the print is fixed. Then the paper is again
sensinitiZed with gum and a second color'

Largest Individual Display.
Nearby. to the right, hangs a notable
group by Miss Virginia NJ Pralle-the lar
gest group in the exhibition, comprising
fourteen prints in all. These are, for the
most part, portraits or figure studies dis

after which they may or may not be por-

close inspection really beautiful but they
lack decision, and for this reason do not
carry well.
Another important group IS made up of
the work of Miss Anne Pilsbury who came
to this city from Boston last fail intending
to make 1t her home, but, unhappily died
of pneumonia after she had been here but
a few short weeks. Hers was undoubtedly
a rare talent and the eight prints which
represent her in this exhibition serve as a
fitting memorial to her skill. They are
chiefly interpretations of children, and while
delicate in tone are well-defined and pleas
ing in effect
Portrait Studies.
Helen E. Williams contributes a group of
portrait studies which are good, clear-cut
and vigorous but a little forced and over
dramatic; and here and there throughout
the entire exhibition are to be noted fine
single examples of portrait and figure work.
"Viola da GAMBIA" a picture in two tones
of young musician, contributed by Oscar
Maurer of the California Camera Club, is
odd and peculiarly interesting, and Mrs.

seems to have made more marked progress
in the past twelve months than Mrs. Thomp-

makes better showing. Besides this por-

MANY CREDITABLE SPECIMENS
OF THE PHOTOGRAPHERS ART

photography has become an art. 1t re-
quires a definite knowledge of composition
and of light and shade. and to pursue 1t
successfully one must have, what is more,
Keen artistic perception. The camera can
only by accident produce a work of art,
but as a medium it is capable of most skill
full manipulation and will render entirely
satisfactory results. 1t has, however, its
limitations and these should be recognized
and credited to those who excel. Pho
Biography can deal only with facts and for
its conclusions it must always be more or
less dependent upon mechanical processes.
The artist, therefore, will always have the
advantage of the camerist, but the pho
toSrapher who produces genuinely artistic
picture Will at the same time ever put to
shame his brother of the brush, whose plant
is that nothing in nature is ever entirely
satisfactory.
Excellence of the Exhibits.
The pictorial excellence of the prints in
this exhibition is noteworthy. From first
to last they are attractive in composition.
displaying good lines and welI-arranged
masses. The photographers have sought
out pleasing subjects and have bided their
time until the light, too, was favorable
This is the strength of the exhibition; its
weakness lies in a lack of concentra ton of
light and shadow and a mistaken notion
that indiStinctnesS means artistic feeling.
To envelop an object in a veil of mist or to
obscure it by darkness does not make it
either subtle or beautiful. suggesting on the
contrary, TO the thoughtful observer timidity
and weakness on the part of the artist
Lost outlines are peculiarly charming and
effective, but only when they are uncon-

THE GRAIN CROP.

The grain crop on the south side is now practically harvested and already threshers have made big inroads into the seasons threshing. Heading on the Heard ranch was completed Saturday night. Tn all about fifteen hundred acres of barley and wheat were cut on the ranch and the thresher has been working there for some time and will have the entire crop completed by the middle of the present week. Rust has played havoc with most of the wheat fields and many of them were a total loss, the grain not being fit for hay. The barley, however, has turned out very satisfactory and the yield has been good.

TEMPE
A BAD SUNDAY.
The Result Being Eight Cases in the
 Justices Court Yesterday.

It is seldom that a Sunday of such nature as was the last one and to say the least, it certainly is no credit to the town that there should ever be one like it again. There was, how ever and the results were apparent yesterday when Justice Nelson was kept busy the greater part of the day dispensing justice to the many offend CTS. From morning until late Sunday night there were fights and drunken brawIs on all corners and in East Tempe it was worse yet. By the middle of the afternoon the jail was filled with men in various stages of in toxication and not all were MeXicans either-there were several white men in the bunch Things finally reached such a stage that the officers had their hands more than full and were obliged to jail only the worst and most hilar- iOus of the many who were making general business of themselves. They had to be content with ordering the minor offenders out of town and keep ing them out but that in itself was a hard task and more than they could do.
 Yesterday Justice Nelson had eight cases before him as a result of the days disorder. Antonio Badia was sim ply drunk. He was fined ten dollars; Manuel Rodriguez added to that of fcnse, that of fighting. He also was fined ten. Loreto Ozona conducted himself similarity and suffered the same sentence. Pedro Leon had mild attack of the epidemic and was let off mith $7.50. It transpires since, how ever, that he has been before the Tenn De justice before. Something like two years ago when George Compton was marshal he was arrested and placed in jail but during the night he man aged to break the lock and disappear ed. He has been in Mexico since and has only been here . week It is not probable, though, that the charge of breaking jail will be placed against him.
