WOMAN SENT TO
JAIL ON CHARGE
OF SHOPL|FT|NG
Acquaintance of Annie Jennie
O'Brien Surprised as a Re-
suit of Accusation.

In the First Criminal Court this
morning Annie Jennie O'Brien, of 1893
Broad street, where she has been CON
Quoting a furnished room house, was
charged by julius p. Schlam, of 1913
Market street, with having stolen d
silk waist while in his store. She de-
mics the charge. but had to so to Jail in
default of $500 bail.
Police Captain Ryan, of the First
Precinct, sent Plainclothesman Thomas
l.. King to the house to sec if she had
other stolen goods there.
A few years ago Mrs. O'Brien, who is
a widow, came from Boston highly
recommended. She was introduced to
several influential persons. and opened
a rooming house. Soon afterwards she
was complainant in the First Criminal
Court, against one of her roomers. on
a criminal charge.
A settlement was made and Mrs.
O'Brien moved away to start life anew,
and her arrest came as a shock to
those who knew her when she came
here from Boston. The police, they
say, learned thai she has been giving
away the finest of garments to a few
friends.
The prisoner sent a request to Chief
of Police Corbitt to put a man in
charge of her home while she is de-
tanned. While the story she told to
Judge Howell was pathetic and showed
that she had been forgotten by her
former friends I'M Boston, she could not

how h came in possession of the
waist claimed by Mr.. Schlam.

MRS. RORER TALKS PASTRY
Gives Simple Recipes for Sew
eral Dainty Dishes.

Pastry and puff Paste" were the
subjects of two recent lectures of Mrs.
Rorer, the well-known culinary author
ity,
Before beginning to make any sort
of pastry" she said, 81 should like to
impress upon the minds of the house,
wives in general that the kind of fat
used doesn't make the pastry either
more healthy or more injurious. 1t is
simply a matter of flavor and quality.
Lard makes a greasy crust; butter
makes a fiaky crust, and a mixture of
lard and butter a sort of blending of
both. But as a as the health is con
cerned one is not more easily digested
than the other"
Som of the recipes given by Mrs.
Rorer were:
Peach Tartlette-Roll plain paste
quite thin; cut it into squares of about
three inches; fold up the and
bake until thoroughly crisp. When
done put a half of a peach in the mid
die OF each tart; cover with whipped
cream; dust with grated macaroons OF
chopped almonds, and serve.
French Dumpling-Roll plain paste
into a thin sheet; cut into squares; put
a small cored apple in the centre o.
each; fill the space with sugar; fold
up the four corners, and bake in Q
moderate oven a half hour.
Napoleons-These may be made in
number of ways. Today we will choose
the simplest fashion that they may b'
easily made at home. Roll the paste
into a hin sheet; cover it with a dust
ing of finely chopped nuts; put ovel
another layer. brush with white of egI
snd bake it. You may pile these lay
ers one on top of the other putting be
tween either whipped cream, icing o.
| soft custard.
