An Elaborate Dinner


I in boiling water, and stirring until
thin.
Cut one plain layer of cake in half
and spread strawberry or other jam
between the two parts. Cut in squares.
circles or triangles. and dip in the red
fondant, coating each little cake en-
tirely. The other plain layer can be
spread with the chocolate fondant be-
tween the two halves, then cut in fam
ciful shapes and iced with the orange,
candied cherry in the center of each.
The cake spread with almonds should
be spread with plain icing between the
two layers, and cut fancifully, iced all
over as preferred, and decorated with
almonds blanched and cut in halves.
Coat the little pound cakes with differ
ent colored icings, and stick two small
balls together with preserves, cover
with the fondant and decorate with a
raisin.
Enough ideas are thus given to sug-
gest various pretty possibilities to the
ingenious cook.
Most Of the ingredients for the pud-
ding can be prepared the day before.
Have ready one cuipful of nutmeats
of one or several kinds; hickorynuI,
pecan, or walnut meats should be
halved, hazelnuts and almonds cut fine.
Stone one cupful raisins and cut in
halves, or instead use preserves, straw
berry, cherry or peach, or a little Of
each. Crate two ounces of sweet
chocolate. Whip one pint of cream I'M
til stiff and dry, and reject all drain
ings, add one-half cupful sugar and
vanilla to flavor Have ready a mold,
or instead use the can of the freezer,
rinse in cold water, then drain. F'ut
in layer of whipped cream, sprinkle
with the nuts, raisins and preserves,
add another layer of cream and sprin-
kle with the chocolate, and continue
thus until all the cream is used. Pack
in ice and salt, let stand for at least
four hours, adding more ice and salt
If necessary. When ready to serve,
turn out into a pretty dish and slice
at the table. This is one of our sim
plest, least expensive and most de-
licious buildings, and, besides, it can
be made early, which is a great adj
vantage to the busy cook.
Stuffed dates and stuffed figs are
both delicious and easily prepared, and
can be made a day or two before
wanted. Select choice dates, stone
them, and replace the seed with an
almond, then roll in granulated sugar.
The figs should also be choice and
large. Cut each fig in half and re-
move the center. To this add finely
chopped English walnuts, almonds and
seeded raisins, and flavor with little
brandy. into each half put a portion
of this mixture and fold together, and
then roll in granulated sugar.

LUXURIOUS RUSSIAN DINNERS

With the Russians of the higher
class. living is an elaborate function.
When you are invited to dine with a
nobleman you first stroll to a sideboard
whereon are anchovies, smoked salmon,
pickles, sardines, radishes, cold sausage,
caviar and olives.
The guests eat freely of these and
wash them down with fiery vodki, TAX
ing about an hour to do it amid ami
mated conversation.
Some of the appetiZers you would
like. Salmon in jelly. for instance, is
not bad. But salmon in custard is a
little too much for the average Yankee
stomach.
The company takes seats at the table
and the real business of the dinner
begins. First, there is a great thick
soup. Next comes a huge pike, or
salmon, cooked to perfection and stuff
ed with cracked wheat.
After fish comes on a huge loin of
roast pork, or maybe veal; sometimes
beef, but not often-generally 1t is pork
cooked in a mysterious way which has
added all sorts of strange and pro-
nounced fiavors to it.
Roast or boiled fowl is the next
course, and with it comes picked cauli-
flower, gherkins and vegetables.
Then comes cold pie of meat, f1sn
and vegetables. This is cut into slices
and served with mustard dressing.
After this you will, if you have sur
vived so far. be expected to toy with
peculiar Russian salad. and to END
up with a rich dessert and black coffee.
After a Russian dinner one can say
with particular fervor, Fate can not
harm me, I have dined."

Hints About Living

By a Ralstonite.

Here are a few things that are worth
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS gathered from ex-
perience:
The healthiest and purest lives come
from those who do not eat meat before
the age of Is.
Potatoes, sliced thin and fried. are in
dfgestibie. While tasting delicious.
they afford no real nourishment, and
cause a arrangement of the liver.
Cake clogs the stomach. All rich
pastry is poison to the liver. Soft
caramels and creams are also bad for
anyone with a liver at all rebellious.
When you get old look out for your
food! Do you ever notice that Grand
fathers face is not as jolly as it used
to be? His strength of mind also seems
slowly disappearing, though he is get
ting f1eshier every day. He needs a
change of food. Probably he has been
eating buckwheat cakes and syrup,
white bread and butter. sugar, fat
meats, etc, etc. Give him lean meat
and fish. cracked wheat and potatoes,
barley cakes, rye bread or Southern
corn cakes. Try it, and instead of
moping and sitting round the house all
day, you will find him running around
lively as a cricket.
Maybe, on the contrary. he is grow
ing thin and pale. Then he needs
buckwheat and molasses, fat meats,
mashed potatoes in milk, Northern
corn, cracked wheat and fish. oatmeal
porridge and fruits every morning.
All rules have their exceptions and
the diet prescribed for the mass may
not answer for exceptional cases. but
the following directions are good for
the majority:
Milk is the simplest and most nat
ural food. If you cannot drink it your
stomach is in diseased condition.
Cheese is a good substitute. if mild,
fresh and made from pure milk and
cream. Persons who live mostly on
vegetables have the best nerves and
the best complexion. Red pepper is an
excellent condiment. It's effect upon
the liver is remarkable. Malaria, inter-
mittent fever or congestive chills can
not endure the presence of red pepper.
Pure red pepper (known as cayenne)
should be on every table.
Ill health is caused largely by i'm
proper food. or by food which is in a
bad condition when it is eaten.
Think as you eat.
What did you eat today?
Was it too much carbonaceous2 Or
heterogeneous? Or phosphate? Prob
ably the firsti Examine tables of food.
The old injunction, Man! know thy
SELF" ought to be changed to Man!

WASHING SILK STOCKINGS.

There was once a time when black
silk stockings were considered fashion
able with every toilet, but now it has
become the fashion among well dress
ed women to have everything match,
and from the crown of the head to the
tip of the toe must be a blending OF
one color, which does not permit of
the hard contrast of a black shoe and
stocking against a light gown.
The only trouble with silk stockings
is the washing of them. If the laun-
dress is not an expert in that line, a
delicate and expensive pair can be
easily ruined. The best way is to fill
a basin with warm water and soap
suds. Let the stockings soak a few
minutes, then rub gently and rinse
again with water of the same temper
ature- If the stockings are white a
little bluing should be put in the water
both times. In that way you will
avoid having them turn that peculiar
shade of yellow that all silk is sure
to do.
Using few drops of the turpentine
in the water with the soap will pre-
vent the most delicate shades, such as
pink, green and blue, from fading.
Tan stockings are the most difficult
of all to manage. They will get
greenish tinge to them that is the de-
spair of the owner. for it is impossible
to keep them from running. no matter
what care is taken. and the water in
which they are washed is sure TO be
discoIored
The best way is to wash a new pair
first Though the stockings NAV fade

FROZEN PUDDING.

Dissolve two tablespoonfuls Of gela-
tine in cold water. Put one quart Of
cream and one pint of fresh milk in
a double boiler, and when IL comes TO
a boil pour over the gelatine; add
three-quarters of a pound of sugar.
Make a syrup of one-quarter Of
pound Of sugar and a cup Of water.
and simmer in this one pound OF
raisins and one-half pound Of sliced
citron for ten minutes, then pour it
over one-half a pound Of English wal
nuts and pecans Cmixed) and let IL
cool. When the sweetened cream IS
cold. flavor with vanilla. one wineglass
of sherry and the syrup drained from
the raisins and nuts Pound one doz-
en- and a half macaroons, stir in the
cream and freeze. Put frozen cream
and the fruit and nuts in alternate
layers and pack in a two quart mold.
Leave the mold In ice and salt for
three hours. (Omit wine If desired.)

USEFUL. WHEN BUSTING.

Get a small whiskbroom and soak it
until the straws are soft and pliable
and you win find it very useful when
busting a room. for it sweeps the dust
out Of the couch crevices, cleans the
dusty radiator and reaches the tiny
cobwebs in the room. A soft paint
brush will answer the same purpose,
only the little broom is better. A
child's toy broom is even better than
the small Nhiskbroom.
