SOME NICE PLAIN CAKES.
These Are Easy to Make and to Bake
and Of the Toothsome, Whole
some Sort.

am giving this week some recipes
for really plain cakes; this means
that they are easily and quickly made
and baked, and not very great quanti-
ties of butter and eggs, the two most
expensive articles, in any of them.
The lone, two, three cake" takes
Its name from the proportions: One cup
of butter, two Of sugar and three of
flour; half a cup OF butter will an
swer the purpose, and four eggs are to
be used. In making this cake the sugar
and butter and eggs may be all beat
en- together; the flour and the cup of
milk, added alternately; two teaspoon
fuls Of baking powder added the last
thing and the juice of a lemon for
fiavoring. II baked in gem pans and
iced all over these make dainty snow
balls"
Then there Is the ginger bread
without butter or eggs; this should
be welcomed by the mother of a fam
lily of little ones for whom she wants
to provide a toothsome plain cake that
will neither be expensive nor trouble
some. Measure a heaping tablespoon
full OF best lard, a cup OF molasses, and
two t%easpoonfuls of ground ginger, and
put them on to heat in a small sauce
pan; when the lard melts beat all to-
gether we'll for ten minutes and add
a ~teaspoonful of baking soda dissolved
in a cup of sour milk; mix this into
enough flour to make a stiff batter;
the best way to do this is to sift
other bowl put a cupful, to which the
molasses. ETC.. can be easily added;
then mix in more -four until the right
consistency is reached; the batter
should be rather stiff and the beating
should be well done. Grease a drip
ping pan and pour in the batter; it
will take about ten minutes in a
quick oven. Do not use a short. deep
pan; it is better to bake it in one
that is long and shallow. Try if it be
lone by using a straw from the
broom.
A nice plain cake may be made
with dried apples; soak a cup of dried
apples in cold water over night; in
the morning drain as dry as possible
and chop fine; put them in a saucepan
with three-quarters of a pint of thick
molasses; add a half tablespoonful
each of ground cinnamon and mace,
and when the whole comes to a boil
set where it will simmer gently Is min
utes, stirring occasionally. Stir to-
gether half a cup Of butter and a cup
of light brown sugar, and when the
molasses compound has cooled stir into
it with the yolk of an egg a cup of
sifted flour, or perhaps a little more;
beat well and add two teaspoonfuls
baking soda that has been dissolved
in a few drops of boiling water and
beat hard again.
Have half a cup of stoned raislns
rolled in flour, and after beating in the
soda stir them lightly into the bat
ter with a pinch of salt and the juice
of half a lemon. This cake may be
baked in small loaves or in n large
one, and the pan should be well creased
and papered. The oven should be
even; if too hot the cake will crack
and be heavy. Test before taking it
out of the oven. This sounds trouble
some, but is not really so.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

for three years he has maintained two
homes, and in each a woman who
thought herself his wife. He married
the second one three years ago when
he believed his first wife dying.
She lived, instead.
Here was a strange quandary for the
man. He had two wives, each appar-
emily married to him by every right of
law. But let him tell the story him
self; just as he told it when 1t was dis
covered that he had one wife living at
No. POL Jefferson avenue, Brooklyn,
and another at No. ZIG Brooklyn AVE.
nue.:
II was called to the bankers con-
vention in San Francisco in October,
1903, and I asked Mrs. Flora H. Colt to
go with me, whom l had loved when
we were young. When we left Brook
Ign my wife was extremely i'll at home,
and not expected to live. On the way
out west I. talked the matter over at
great length with Mrs. Colt. Her father
had been my employer, my benefactor.
I had been a bachelor until l was So
and then l married my brothers wild
ow when Flora Colts husband was
still alive.
"Mrs. Colt knew how my heart stood
in the matter, and l told her that /
wanted to marry her. We both be-
lieved that my first wife would be dead
before we got back to Brooklyn. My
onIv axcnse was that was nervous
and overweight.
Married at Hammond, Ind.
"When we arrived at Hammond,
Ind, we were married under our true
names. In a month we returned to
Brooklyn. I bought my second wife
the house on Brooklyn avenue, and
made it over to Mrs. Colt in her own
legal name. l made the agreement with
her that we would live publicly as man
and wife just as DON as my first wife
died. We had not expected to come
east until her death.
But my first wife grew stronger,
and soon recovered her health. There
was nothing for us to do but to keep
the matter secret. l confessed every
thing to my first wife, and she under
| stands everything. l have maintained
| them both since then"
To-day both women feel the weight OF
| the shadow upon their lives. Kiley has
told all. And that is where the case
| stands now-the case of the three eld-
| erly persons-the man well e o.
| each oma over 5O-whose loves and
lives have been SO sadly tangled.
And now, who shall say that ro-
nance is only for the young?

Freedom Her One Thought.
So eager was the pretty girl from
Michigan to marry her husbands son
that she made no contest, though she
had a lawyer to represent her. All she
wanted was her freedom-and her Ed

to her love-the frank, honest blush

New York.-Three men whose re-
cent romantic stories have made their
names household words are Thomas
w. Kiley of Brooklyn, Capt. Nathan
Appleton or Boston, and Watson II.
Twitchel of Chicago.
Elderly, rich, and known as Keen,
practical business men, they have gone
to greater lengths for the women OF
their hearts than ever a stripping d1d.
They have done for love what Few
youngsters would do. Between them
they make up a veritable trio OF ro-
nance.
They are men of affairs, each In his
own city. Not for a moment would
anyone believe them anything but
hard-headed business men. Yet what
they nave dared is remarkable-these
three men whom everybody believed
beyond the age when Cupid calls his
lOudeSt.
Thomas w. Kiley married the
daughter of his benefactor because she
loved him, and he thought his first
wife dying. Appleton met his affinity
and is now preparing to divorce his
first wife. But most remarkable OF all
is Twitchell. He gave up his bride
his second wife-to his son, because
he loved them both, and wanted to
see them happy.
And first, then, this remarkable ro-
nance of the TwitchellS.
Bertha May was a pretty little coun-
try girl who lived in a quiet little
Michigan town, when Watson H.
Twitchel, widower, with a son "a years
old, came there on a business visit.
He met charming Miss Bertha and fell
head over heels in love with her-this
gray-haired business man of Sc.
She Wanted to See the World.
He told the ambitious little girl from
Michigan of the pleasures of life in
Chicago. When he asked her to mar
ry him she thought that her desire to
see the world-that is, what Of it that
can be seen in Chicago-was really
love. So the old man with the grown
up son and the unsophisticated little
girl from Michigan were married. The
proud bridegroom brought his dainty
bride back home to Chicago, and there

HINTS TO HoUSEKEEPERS.

For brittle finger nails anoint the
nails at the roots every night with vase
line, or dip them in warm sweet oil. This
will make them grow better, and they
will not split.
The loofahs, or dried vegetable
sponges which n buys at the druggists
for a small sum, make excellent wash
cloths. With a sharp pair of shears
cut the loofah in two crosswise, and
again through the middle. The outer
surface is smoother than the inner, but
some people like a rough face cloth. The
little sponges are good also to wash fine
glass and china.
A delicious and cooling lotion for the
sick room is aromatic vinegar, which is
made as follows: Put a handful of rose
mary, NORWOOD, lavender, rue, sage
and mint into a stone jar, cover with a
gallon of strong vinegar, cover closely
and keep near a fire for foul days. Then
strain.
White and light gray fur, it is said,
may be beautifully cleaned by rubbing
we'll with equal parts of -four and fine
salt. Shake we'll, as it is undesirable
that any of the mixture should remain
in the fur.
An ingenious oma suggests that a
soft brush, such as is used in vanishing,
is good for brushing bread, rolls and
pastry with melted butter. If a string is
put through the handle and the brush is
hung in a regular place so much the bet
ter.
Paprika, by the way, is as ornamental
as it is useful. Almost any vegetable
with cream or white sauce is made
doubly attractive when sprinkled liber-
ally with the sweet red pepper.
Hot milk, heated toas high a tempera-
ture as it can be drunk, is a most re-
freshing stimulant in cases of cold or
overfatigue.
The woman with dull eyes should
never wear diamonds near the face.
Pearls soften the face more than any
other jewels. Amethysts and sapphires
and such h~ighly-colored gems should
not be worn with red.
A good idea, particularly in the win
ter time, when the washing of windows
is always unpleasant work, is to fire.
uuently wipe off the inside of the glass
with a dry cloth. 1t is surprising to find
how much dust and dirt can be removed.
In washing the windows If a little wash
ing soda and a tablespoonful Of alcohol
are added to each pail of water the glass
will be much brighter, and, OF course,
every one knows that newspapers make
the best window polishers.-Boston

SURFEIT OF MOOSE MEAT.
Discomforts of a Party Of Prospec-

Alaska.

"In %journeying down n of the
tributaries of the Tanana river, in
Alaska, with a party of prospectors in
1902, our raft went to pieces on a drift
and every pound of provisions, cooking
utensils, bedding and pretty nearly all
the clothing of the outfit, as we'll as a
tidy sum Of money, went to the bot
tom," relates P. J. Habberton, of
Seattle.
Luckily l managed to save my VIM
chester and a few rounds of ammuni-
ton, and if it had not been for that l
believe we would have come pretty
neal starving to, death. as the place OF
the accident was 100 miles from any

the only one that was saved, and v

a diplomat, a traveller and an author.
He is a member of the famous Myopia
Hunt, and lives at the very smart Som
erset club, Boston, the most exclusive
organization of the kind in all New
England. He married in 1887.
One year later his wife left him.
There was no scandal-it was just that
they had agreed to disagree. No ex-
PLANTATION was offered to their many
friends. and after a time the trouble
was all but forgotten.
But then Miss Edith r. Willis came
on the scene. She was young. viva
cious, talented, beautiful. From that
moment the gallant captain believed
that he had met his fate. He frankly
told Miss Willis that he believed her to
be his affinity, and he asked her to
marry him.
YES" she said, but 1t takes more
than a whispered assent to make a
marriage. There had to be a divorce
first.
So Capt. Appleton has begun suit
after all these years. Mrs. Appleton
lives in New York with her conidant
since her separation from her nus
band, Miss Katherine Parsons, OF Vir-
ginia, daughter of Col. Henry Clay Par
sons. At first Mrs. Appleton said she
wouldn't contest the suit provided the
! captain made her a suitable allowance
| out OF his wealth, but evidently the
two could not come to terms, for the
issue has been Joined and the case will
come to trial. Miss Parsons will take
the stand in behalf of Mrs. Appleton.

suit will take care of itself when the
time comes"
There is much that Is mysterious In
this shattered romance of the elderly
clubman. Some of 1t, 1t Is expected,
will be cleared up at the trial.
