RICE PUDDING FOR MRS. ASTOR

Dare one mention it, Mrs. Astor who
might gorge Of gastronomic dainties
were she so inclined and eat off the
famous gold plate which from time to
time dazzles the eyes of society, is said
to prefer plebeian rice pudding, and
baked in a porcelain dish at that. To
especially please her palate the pudding
must be neatly Drowned and served
with a profusion of cream, and hardly
day passes that she does not have il
served at luncheon. Her companion
Miss Simrock, has equally simple taste
for garden pears" which are probG bly,
neither better nor worse than those
grown outside of gardens. please her
vastly. Those who regard the simple
life as decidedly simple" In another
sense of the word and who crave diet
Of terrapin and dollhouse grapes, get
very much annoyed To hear that rice
pudding Is to a society leaders liking
and say they don't know what society
is coming to.-New York Press

HOME PROSPERITY

1t is noteworthy fact that the mer-
chants of Los Angeles are buster now
than at any similar period in the his
tory of the city. 1t is the holiday sea-
son, OF course, but even for a holiday
time there is more selling and buying
than ever before.
This fact indicates widespread pros
perity and confidence in the future.
With people crowding the stores and
goods selling at fair prices there need
Angeles has the money to play Santa
Claus, and it is playing the limit.
Another fact is also noteworthy, that
there has been none of the usual holi-
day lull in the real estate business.
The sale of lots and the erection of
small homes go merrily on, and those
interested do not have to wait until
January or February for results The
Owens river project has so settled and
determined the future of Los Angeles
that real estate has assumed a sub
stantial value, value that is naturally
increasing with the rapid march of
improvements.
And yet there is no boom" There
will he none, Prices are absolutely
normal and must remain So 1t is SIM
ply a condition caused by the mar
velous future and the wonderful pres
ent of Los Angeles. Therefore, let
everybody buy and continue to be

SAYS THERE WILL
NOT Be DEFICIT
FINANCE COMMITTEE PROMISE
SURPLUS
Councilman Smith Deplores Cry Re-
Gently Rased--ExpIains That
Money Has Come in From
Unexpected Sources

A surplus instead of n deficit at the
end of the fiscal year was promised
yesterday by Councilman Smith, chair
man of the finance committee In a
speech to the city council. in which he
reiterated the statements made to The
Herald last Thursday.
"I greatly deplore the cry of a deficit
which has recently been raised" said
Mr.. Smith "and | wish to state EN-
phatically that there will bc no deficit
at the end Of this fiscal year. We
have little money from unexpected
sources that we did not consider when
we made up the budget at the begin
ming of the year, and while this Is not
much 1t will be sufficient to meet un-
expected demands on the treasury. In
spite of this little surplus we intend
that every department shall close the
year with It's allowance.
"In looking over the auditors report
I find several departments overdrawn,
but past reports will show that the
same condition existed in nearly every
preceding year. When the proper time
comes we shall warn the overdrawn de-
partments to even up on their expenses
and If they fail to do so. we have the
remedy within our own hands and shall
certainly apply 1t.
THE council is allowed to expend 70
much money and no more and we are
personally liable If we go beyond that
stipulated amount. Exercising proper
precaution and the powers given us by
the charter l feel safe in saying that
not only will we not close the year with
deficit, but will wind up with bal
ance to our credit and that is some
thing that but few administrations can
