THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY.
Strange Actions BY Father, Mother
and Children at Christmas Time.

The mystery began with the hus-
band coming home half an hour later
than usual. so as TO have the cover
of darkness when leaving a package
behind the vestibule doors. while he
entered the house with very innocent
look on his face and told Of his street
car being blocked.
At midnight OF that night. while his
innocent hearted wife was sleeping
bv his side. he sneaked out Of bed
and down stairs and crcured the pack
age and hid it in closet.
The next step was taken by his
wife. She took down from the pantry
n pitcher in which she had been stor'
ing w dimes and nickels and pennies
for months and months. and. after
counting them over she sneaked down
stairs in tho forenoon and bought and
lusged a parce! home and hid il away
on the top shelf Of a clothsspress.
Then one Of the children cam" IN

GOOD WAY TO SERVE ORANGES.
BY New Method the Best Results viii
Be Obtained.

If you are going to have oranges cut
up with other fruit, try this way of
fixing them and see il it is not an i'm
provement over the old way of peel
ing the orange and cutting it up as
best you can with skin and sometimes
seeds in it. Cut the orange in half,
take a sharp knife and cut around
each section, then flip the pulp out
of its quarter. Squeeze the skin, see
all the juice you have, and how nicely
the orange looks in comparison to the
old way.
Use a rich biscuit crust for your
apple turnovers; the filling should be
cooked down until very thick. Roll
out the dough, cut in circles about
the size of coffee saucer, put on each
a large spoonful of the sauce, wet the
edges of the crust, field over and pinch
well together. that none of the sauce
may ooze out. These may be either
fried in deep fat or baked in quick
oven; If the latter method is chosen,
try sprinkling them quickly with a
mixture of cinnamon and granulated
sugar.
These delicacies are made by pour
ing on the stifly beaten whites of two
eggs a generous half pint of scalding
hot cream, and without beating, stir
in heaping tablespoonful of powdered
sugar. and few drops of orange juice.
To beat the mixture after the eggs
are added would destroy the delicious
consistency of the custards. Pour at
once into ornamental little soufiie
dishes and bake. standing in pan
of hot water, in a moderate oven un-
til the custards are firm. Serve in
the dishes at about blood heat on a
pretty saucer resting on lace paper
dolly. accompanied by small squares
of sunshine cake.
