Plain Fruit Cake,

Stir a cup and a half butter with three
cups brown sugar until light and creamy.
Add half a grated nutmeg, a tablespoonful
powdered cinnamon, one teaspoonful each
cloves and maces. Dissolve a level tea
spoonful of soda in half cup sour cream,
add to it half a cup molasses and stir I'M
til it stops 'purring." Then add to the
other ingredients, mix well and put in six
eggs, beating vigorously between each ad
dftion. Confectioners and French chefs
knead all fruit cakes with their hands. for
it is too stiff to beat properly after the fruit
is put in. Stir in wine glass of brandy.
Sift four cups flou and add to the cake
mixture, little by little kneading all the
time. Have ready one pound seeded raj
sins. one pound washed and dried currants.
quarter of a pound Of shredded citron and
an eighth of a pound each candied orange
and lemon peel chopped fine Sprinkle
this fruit with two tablespoonfuls floul.
and mix well together before adding to
the cake. Knead ten minutes after adding
the fruit, then put into two brick-shaped
tins lined with buttered paper. Place in
a moderate oven and bake slowly for three
hours. Cover with paper il the cake shows
signs of browning too quickly on top and
do not open the oven door for the first
three-quarters Of an hour after putting in
to bake. In case you depend upon q gas
stove for your baking. 1t Is safer to steam
this cake for two hours first, then bake an
hour in a very slow oven. good plan
with any kind of fruit cake is to mix the
batter one day, let it rest over night TO
"ripen." then bake the next day.

Furniture of Birds Eye Maple.

The furniture of the room was birds eye
maple, the rugs having soft tan centers
with dull Persian borders.
The draperies were of cream white plain
Brussels net, with pink silk sash curtains
and over drapery of shaded artificial
roses in festoons or sprays. On the center
table a dull brass lamp with opalescent
shade and bead fringe was placed. Tan
suede covered the table. A spread of
butchers linen, embroidered with wild rose
pattern and edged with antique lace, was
laid over the bed.
Above the desk and swung from two
arms by chains of brass was set of book
shelves, with screw hooks on the bottom
upon which to hang ''favors' and trophies
of all sorts that are dear to girls hearts.
A low chair beside a pretty work table
suggested housewifely industry while
divan covered with the same pink stuff as
upholstered the chairs, with lots of pillows.
its head stood heavy brass lamp with an
opalescent loaded umbrella shade, suggeS-
tive of rare comfort for the fair reader. In
one of the side walls, where the light is
best one pink panel was omitted and
long mirror set in with lights at each side
and above. The dainty toilet table cover
of linen was embroidered in roses and fin
shed with lace, while the fireplace was
fitted with dull brass andron fender, and
the bucket, tongs and shovel.

The side walls Of the room were covered
with rose pink crepe. although silk. Gre

tweIve-inch panels being set three feet
apart and running to the picture rail. Upon
the surface OF these were painted shower
bouquets of wild roses falling down the
panels. The ceiling was tinted corn color
at the picture rail and shaded to cream
white at the dome.

Millinery for October.

campaign, and Is obliging enough to act a
dual part as an ornament to the hat and a

An example of this role is a wine-colored
veil, wound about mole-gray hat,
plumed with wine-colored plumes held in
place by single rose.
A second very pretty autumn mode is the
Dauphine hat with a beret crown. 1t is
made of mulberry-red chiffon velours, and
has a chrome-colored felt brim; cluster of
purple and green grapes is used at one side,
