Many Especially Adapted for the Hot
Weather-Swatza a Palatable
Breakfast Dsh-Figs and
Rhubarb Combined.

stems, wash clean. drain well and put
into a saucepan with sugar to sweet
en-. Stir over the fire until soft, press
through a fine hair sieve, return to
pan and simmer gently until the con-
sistency Of thick cream. Chill, put in
the icebox and leave until ready TO

serve with whipped cream.
Black Currant Ice Cream.-Stsw

utes, then press through a fine sieve.
Add a cupful Of rich syrup and a cup
ful thick cream, beat well, then freeze.
When sti1 pack in an ornamental
mold, cover close and pack in ice and
salt When ready to serve turn out
on a low glass dish, garnish with
crystallized cherries and leaves of an
gelica.
Spiced Currants.-This is de-
licious accompaniment to roast beef
in winter and should be made now. To
every seven pounds courrants allow
three and a half pounds sugar, pint
Of vinegar and a cup cVrrant juice.
Cook about half an hour or longer un-
til the mixture thickens, add three
tablespoOnfuls cinnamon and a table
spoonful and a half powdered cloves,
cook a few moments longer, then
pour into a stone pot or glass cans
as preferred.
Currant Catsup.-This, too, is an
excellent relish for future use. To
four pounds ripe currants allow
pound and half sugar, tablespoon
ful ground cinnamon, a teaspOonful
each ground cloves, salt and pepper
and a pint of vinegar. Stew until
quite thick, strain and bottle.
Cherry Brown Betty.-Put a layer
Of pitted sweetened cherries in the bot
tom OF a baking dish, cover with fine
bread crumbs dotted with bits Of but
ter and so continue until the dish is
full. Have the top layer of the but
tered crumbs. Cover and bake an
hour, uncover and brown. Serve with
hard sauce favored with nutmeg.
Swatza.-This makes a good sum-
mer breakfast dish, quickly prepared
and nourishing. To serve three per
sons, beat three eggs in soup plate
until well blended. From a large loaf
cut i've slices bread and cut these in
halves. Put a tablespoonful butter in
the frying pan, and as soon as hot put
in as many slices of the bread which
have been dipped in the beaten egg as
it will hold AS soon as golden brown
on one side turn and crisp the other.
It will take but a moment. AS fast as
finished pile on a platter and keep
hot until all the slices are done and
ready to serve. Serve with maple or
fruit syrup.
Figs and Rhubarb.-Wash two
punches rhubarb and cut into inch
pieces without peeling. Put into the
double boiler with a cupful sugar and
four or five figs cut in inch pieces. Put
on the cover and cook over hot water
until the rhubarb is tender and the
syrup rich and jelly like in consist
ency. Raisins are nice cooked in the
same way with rhubarb. If preferred
and you are to have a hot oven any
way put the rhubarb and figs or rails
ins in a stone pot, cover closely and
bake in the oven until jellied.-Emma

APRICOT soUFFLE is GOOD.
Easily Put Together After the Purss
Has Been Prepared.

Half a pint of apricot puree, half q
cupful of cream. three whites OF eggs,
IL tablespoOnfuls syrup from the ap-
ricOts, two heaping tablespoonfuls of
sugar, a squeeze of lemon Juice, three
drops Of red cOloring. Prepare the
puree by rubbing either canned or
bottled apricots through a fine sieve.
Use a little of the syrup along with
the apricOts and do not make the
puree too thick. Dissolve the gelatine
in two tablespOOnfuls of the syrup and
strain it into the puree. Add the su-
gar, lemon juice and cOloring. Beat
the white Of the eggs to a stih froth
and whip the cream. Stir these light
ly into the apricot mixture, and when
beginning to set, pour all into a wetter
mold and keep in cool place until
firm. When wanted, turn out on a
glass or china dish. This pudding may
be made more ornamental by decorat-
ing the top of the mold with a little
sweet jelly and a few pieces Of april
cot before pouring in the mixture. Or
the apricot mixture may be set In q
ring mold and whipped cream piled
in the center when it is turned out.

Instead of Curtain Rods.

At bargain store, get a copper-coY-
cred wire about as thick as your little
finger, and have them cut it the width
Of your window. Also buy two screw
eyes. Put screw eye on each side
Of the sash opening, one Of them so
that the wire will slip in. Run the
wire through the curtain castings and
put the ends in the eye. Your cur
tains will hang as nicely as though
the fixtures had cost three times Is
cents, the actual cost Of your rods

HOW THEKAISER LIVES
TAKES LARGE SUITE WITH HIM
FOR soJoURN AT CORFU.

BERLIN, March 3O.-The emperor and
empress have made elaborate arrange
ments for their stay in Castle Achiileion,
Corfu, where they will soon arrive from
Venice They have taken with them a
large suite. comprising a court marshal.
two aides-de-camp, six officers OF the
guards, two physicians, twelve body serv-
ants and secretary for the emperor. and
a court marshal two ladies of the cham
Der, two equerries and six domestics for
the empress.
The culinary possibilities of Corfu are
not being relied on, no fewer than
twenty-four cooks and maids are going
from the castle to attend to the imperial
kitchen. Even kitchen utensils from the
Berlin palace are to be forwarded thither.
Two imperial carriages and six touring
automobiles are under way and also two
transport motor cars for the baggage.
Ten chauffeurs, with eight helpers. are to
look after these machines.
Horses, too, are to be shipped to Corfu.
and twenty grooms and coachmen will go
with them.
The Castle Achilleion, which lies nearly
1000 feet above the sea level. has been
connected with the lower surrounding
country by a small cable elevator. Post
and telegraph offices have been erected,
SO as to keep the emperor in constant
communication with the outer word,
while the roads in the island, usually of
the most primitive description, have been
vastly improved for the occasion.

"Tai1ored' Patterns to Be Worn by Girls

bands or tight clothing for they restrict
breathing and impede circulation Espe-
clal care must be taken with little girls
mat no shoulder straps draw down the
back.
Nothing is better to promote graceful
carnage than ito be able to balance prop
eriy. To do this the hands should be
placed on the hips. the feet fiat. with heels
close together and toes pointing out. Then
one loot Is raised as high as 1t can be
without bending the knee At first the
elevation will be slight but with practice
on a line with the waist At no time dur
Ing this exercise should the knee be bent.
Exercise First With Right Foot,
Then With Left.
Ihls work may be done first with one
foot and then with the other, taking care
to make development the same on both
sides.
To take each movement five times is
enough at the beginning. the number to be
Increased as the little one becomes &C.
customed to It,
Health is gained and strength Increased
by having the abdominal muscles in good
condition. Incidentally. these exercises
recommended today for children are ex-
abdomen, take Off superfluous flesh from
the hips and make the waist smaller. Per-
slStentiy practiced they act as cures for
those ills. while for children they are pre-
ventlves of the same things in after years.
One Of these movements is to stand
erect. put the hands behind the head and
draw up in straight line first one foot
then the other, to bring the knee as close
to the chest as 1t will go. This sounds
easy, but 1T is not for cords and muscles
invariably bound and stiff must be pulled
and stretched to fiexibility and grace.
There must be a pull on the muscles and
attention must be given that the back
shall not bend In unconscious effort to
meet the knee. The spine should be held
straight.
This work may be done an equal num-
Der of times with both knees.
Movements That Strengthen Back.
Strengthening to the back as we'll as to
the abdomen is similar movement to be
made while lying fiat on the back. In
this exercise 1t Is Of the utmost import
ance that the hands shall be gripping
some stationary object placed above the
head, otherwise theresis no stretch on the
muscles. The hold must be equal with
both hands.
While gripping, say. a chair. tightly,
first one knee and then the other is
brought up as close to the chin as 1t can

ly that Of lifting the leg. The exercise
may be varied by holding the knee rigid
to keep the limbs straight and making
all the action come from the hip. With
this the object is much like the first, to
swing the limb as far forward and up
as one can.

perfect fiexfbility and shape may be
achieved.
