A chocolate basket is an acceptable
novelty for the sweet course at a
luncheon. To make the baskets cut
good paste to fit the inside of small deep
tins turned upside down on pan OF tin
sheet; bake carefully in a hot oven, turn
each over, take out the tin and set the
shell aside. Cut some strips Of pastry
and lay over q small round tin spice box
or whatever round tin will give a curve
to the handle TO fit the basket, which
should be a little less than three inches in
diameter. Bake the handle and remove
carefully as the crisp pastry will break
easily. Make the filling from one and
one-half squares of chocolate. one and
one-half cups of milk, the yolks Of two
eggs, one-half cup Of sugar, two teaspoon
fuls Of cornstarch and one teaspoon Of
vanilla. Mix the cornstarch smooth
with a little of the milk and stir into the
remainder, which has been heated. Beat
the yolks of the eggs and the sugar to-
gether, melt the chocolate in a cup set
in boiling water. When the milk and
cornstarch have cooked add the eggs and
sugar, and when smooth take from the
fire and add the chocolate and vanilla.
Cool before using. Fill the baskets, slip
the handles into the inside, and when
ready TO serve lay a small spoonful OF
whipped cream on the top of the choco-
late.

THE smoKELEss CITY.
Il Win Come When Science Whips Us
All Into Line.

al AANA LAA~s
Electricity.
The smolleless city will be the inevi-
table consequence OF the application OF
modern science and advanced ideas, from
both an economic and hygienic stand
point But the smOkeless city must be,
by implication, an electrical city. II Is,
therefore, here that the theme is best
considered, and some Of the satisfying
and encouraging elements composing its
analysis best set forth.
To have smokeless and electrical cities
we must provide electrical centres at the
mines. We must transmit high-tension
electricity from the central stations there
to the various cities around. The limits
of transmission are well recognized AZ de-
pendent upon the limits OF insulation.
These limits have not as yet been reached.
II has been noted by the observers Of
electrical progress that electric power
lines are radiating farther and farther
away from the home supply. 1t cannot
be said that science would have to be
better known to reach the zenith of ac-
complishment in this reaching-out process.
1t is not this by any means, but more
the fact that precedent has not as yet
established its basis of argument on a
large enough scale. II is more a case Of
where the doing is delayed, because it is
still to be done. A futile reason, indeed,
but still the one frequently offered. The
cost of a ton of coal at the mines and
the cost of power equivalent Of that
ton in New York City would not repre-
sent a great enough difference, but to
sweepingly compete with the price We
pay at present. But it is not the social
consequences Of a revolution like this we
have to deal with, but the engineering
possibilities involved If il we're not the
means even of considerably lowering the
power of electrical equivalent Of ton
Of coal, il would still be the only method
left to follow.
The fact that mems minds are now
dealing with vaster problems than before
is indicative of the time when this will
be the one TO interest them. The develop
ment Of millions Of kilowatts at the
coal-mining centres Of the country and
the transmission of this electricity TO
large and small cities for distribution is
no more difficult to understand than the
attitude we have accustomed ourselves
to with regard 10 our water supply. The
reservoir is Indispensable the pipe lines
! through the streets and in the houses the
same. Why not coal energy in its con.
verted form This is the next great
problem of the century, and one not tC
be too highly relished by the railroads
that carry coal. They as well as our.
selves must adopt new standpoints. They
/ as well as ourselves hold this power o.
/ transformation at their disposal to Civ,
/ us OF not the smokeless city.

pARoHED POPCORN.
It's Made Of Sweet Corn and Has the Good
Old-fashioned Sound.


When the sweet corn commences to
ripen in the garden select several fine ears
having large firm grains and let these ears
remain just as they are on the stalks to
ripen.
When they are quite dry remove from
the corn stalks without disturbing the
husks, bind into punches with strip Of
muslin and hang away in the attic in 4 dry
place. After a few weeks, according to
What to Eat, the corn win be ready for
parching, and then this new sort Of pop
sorn may be enjoyed.
Place the iron spider or frying pan over
the FIRE, and turn into it a cupful or two
Of the corn, which should be husked and
removed from the ear Just before using;
the fire must not be too hot, and the corn
must be stirred frequently with a long
fork, or Il may scorch. After time the
grains will have pulled up until they are
almost round and will turn a delicate
brown color, when they are done.
Turn the parched corn into a large
bowl and pour over it some melted butter,
stirring the corn kernels about so they
will be buttered evenly, as one buffers
ordinary popcorn; salt the corn as soon
as buttered and the corn is ready TO eat.
This dainty may be called "parched pop
corn" TO distinguish it from ordinary
popcorn.

The popularity Of the princesse
effect has extended its influence even
into the children s realm and the latest
dresses designed for little girls show
evidence thereof. Here is one that is
dainty in the extreme and that IS
especially designed to be made from
the many pretty bordered materials
Of the season, although it can be uti-
lized for plain fabrics as we'll. In the
illustration embroidered hounoing Is
combined with white lawn and with
lace banding, the effect being most
satisfactory and charming one, but
there are numberless other appropri-
ate materials we'll suited to the de-
sign, while plain materials that are
trimmed at the edges can be made
effective. Hens and tucks are always
pretty and are quite sufficient for the
simpler dresses or some simple design
Of embroidery can be executed above
the hens.
The dress is made with the waist
portion and two hounces. Each tiounce
Is tucked at the upper edge and the
dress is tucked at the waist line to
give a girdle effect. When the lining

tendencies to reversion to former ances-

normal child, you can give him all these
traits by patiently persistently, guiding
him in these early formative years.
And, on the other side, give him foul

crowded tenement up under the hot roof;

away from him music and laughter and
happy faces; cram his little brains with

sceptive and dangerous because made so
apparently adaptable to his young mind;
let him have associates in his hours out
,of school, and at the age Of 10 you have
fixed in him the opposite traits. He is
on his way to the gallows You have
perhaps seen a prairie fire sweep through
the tall grass across a plan. Nothing
can stand before it, it must burn itself
out. That is what happens when you let
the weeds grow up in a child's life, and
then set fire to them by wrong environ

Diamond Bows and Pearl CroHses-Cane
as Model for Brooch.
jewellers Circular Weekly.
Diamond bows are Of long time
popularity, but new effects are shown
in very irregular and graceful arrange
ments in conjunction with large pearls.
Sometimes the pearls depend from the
ends of the ribbon, OF perhaps from
one to three pearls may swing from the
centre Of the bow.
Very beautiful are the little crosses
composed of pearls alone, OF Of pearls
and diamonds in different arrange
ments. Quite magnificent is a cross
displaying large diamonds, and very
elegant are those in which diamonds
alternate in odd numbers with some
colored stones.
Delightfully."- novel is the feminine
plagiarism Of a mans style which
takes as its model for a brooch a good
stout cane, with crook handle, carried
out in mahogany, gold and diamonds.
This new departure as to combination
of materials, shown by returned tour
list, has the mahogany cane tipped
with gold and finished with a diamond
crook handle. Sleeve links, brooches
and any little article in which special
wood can be employed with precious
or semi precious stones are, it is said,
displayed in a variety Of styles by
dealers abroad.
A very fetching dog collar is Of
unique design. Small amethyst hearts
set in diamonds are hung in open
hearts Of yellow gold with richly deco
rated outlines. These heart-shaped
panels are connected by short rows Of
seven chains Of very yellow gold.
Exceedingly handsome is a bracelet
of yellow filagree with free edged
stone or alternate pearls.
Sleeve links are out Of the ordinary
display disk in pave diamonds con-
nected with a diamond bar.
Unframed stones are used with gold
or diamond chains and pearls or dia-
mond drop stones in chic pendants.
A significant penchant for pearls
is shown, and very charming are the
new designs manipulated IN diamonds
and round pearls.
A new hatpin is a graceful floral
form in palest of green enamel set
with fine round pearls. Other pins
show shaded effects in enamels with
pearls.
A covetable possession is a diamond
pendant of most elaborate design
which has as a centre a rectangular
yellow topaz with free edges and in
visibly mounted.
Some pretty vases Of opalescent glass
in odd shapes are partly encased in
very open designs of silver, the base
Of the bowl only being decorated with
leaf or flower patterns. The silver and
glass form a most effective contrast.
