PINEAPPLE SPONGE

and not mention tomato soup, which is a general fayorite and very easily made It may be said right here that all these soups are simple, but three things be- of the consistency desired, good sea- soning, and what mentioned first, that they should be served hot.
 All these things by practice and fore thought are possible to the youngest cook, and in a short time she will grow to find making soups an; easy and pleas ant part of preparing dinner. But if we are to make tomato soup, we must be about 1t, for after all, practice is quite as much a part of our training as theory.
 Take quart of tomato, either quart can or the same amount of the fresh vegetable when stewed. Put this in your soup-kettle and add pint of boil ing water, tablespoonful of chopped onion, four whole cloves, one teaspoon ful of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt pepper, letting the whole boil together from twenty minutes to half an hour.
 This soup, like all those made without the double boiler, has to be carefully watched to see that it does not boil away, and hot water may be added to keep the original amount of liquid. Let Tomato Soup Simmer
  When the soup has reached this point it is time to strain, as in the case of the pea soup, butsit is well to use the masher judiciously in order not to force the tomato seeds through the strainer Return the strained liquid to the soup kettle and put back to heat. Melt in a saucepan tablespoonful of butter and add a heaping tablespoonful of flour. Thicl1en as for the potato soup, and let it simmer for ten minutes.
 Perhaps there is no soup which 1t is SO necessary for cook to taste as to- mato soup, for the degree of vegetable acid differs greatly, and while unpleasant if too much, it is easy to counteract by adding little more sugar or a salt spoonful of soda. Salt and pepper, too, may not be in right proportion, the fault being again in the variableness of the vegetable.
 This is the simplest tomato soup which one can make, apd because it may seem to you too easy and too ordinary. l am going to give you the recipe for mock bisk. This is more of company soup- Mock Bisk

THE WOMAN IN BUSINESS


gagement was announced, and the office force thankfully sent an expensive gift to speed the parting.
 Presuming Upon Social Position
 Perhaps the greatest nuisance of all in business life is the woman who man. ages, by hook or crook, to keep in the social life her former financial circun- stances warranted, and who presumes upon this relation with her employer. To her the office is always a parlor, and everyone must show her the same consideration she receives in the houses of her friends. Discipline is for the others but for her-never.
 The rules laid down for the others never apply to her, and an outsider would imagine she was present only as a guest. Her mistakes, her lapses from business methods, her frequent requests for vacations-everything that her as- sociates avoid-must be treated in such manner that her tender feelings are not injured
 One silly woman who worries the life half out of her employer does not earn half her salary as she dallies at her desk day after day. She calls him Fred" and stops him to retail bits of society news, besides staying up so late night after night as to be unfit for work. Years ago, when he was a struggling yOufl& DuSIICSS Ildli, IlCl .ldlICl oCt llllii on his feet and gave him a start, so he cannot forget that timely help. The daughter knows this, so she continues to worry him with her familiar ways and lack of business ability.
 FIT YOURSELF FOR YOUR WORK
 If any woman is helped to place for which she is not fitted by friends who sympathize with her, her first duty to her employer, herself and her friends is to fit herself for the work. The fact that you once wore diamonds and trailed your silken gowns through marble halls does not interest your employer, but a clean page, clear brain and steady nerves do.
 He is paying for well-kept books, ac- curate statements, careful work and con- formity to rules, not for a dolefhl ac- count of what you did before the family fortune vanished. If you must pity yourself, do it in private Your em- p1oyer may continue to employ you, be- cause he is sorry for you or is indebted to some member of your family, but don't worry the life out of the poor man. You will win your way to his favor by being prompt, cheerful, ac- curate and trustworthy, and also be more contented.

filling is in, replace the plug, run two or three skewers through the cabbage and tie with a cord.
 Place the cabbage iii a kettle with a rack in the bottom, for stuffed cabbage needs to be steamed rather than boiled. Sprinkle the inside of the cabbage with salt and pepper before filling, and serve with a rich cream sauce.
 stufhne with Birds
 The method of stuf6ng cabbage wi small birds-or is it rather a mode cooking small game in cabbage i-ws taught me by German hausfrau os more than local culinary fame. One day she brought me four of the "duci<iestp little wild ducks that ever swam.
 Pinkish, plump, tiny butter-baIls they were, ranged side by side on an cbiong platter, all ready for the oven, their, ab- surd legs trussed close to their equally absurd little bodies, and their apofogiess for wings tucked demurely behind their backs. She also brought two red czb- bages, and demonstration lesson was assured.
 First she placed the ducks in pan containing some sizzling hot butter and told me to brown them. While doing this she hollowed out the cabbages, and placing them in a colander, poured boil AtS WdlCA OtCI ttICiIl u11tIi lIlCy WCl wilted to state of p1iability
 Then she sprinkled them inside and out with salt and pepper and melted butter
 When the birds were browned she laid two back to back in each cabbage, and folded the leaves over and around them, pinning them with small sI<ewers
 In a dripping pan with rack she put one tablespoonful each of chopped onion and carrot, pint of water, feaspoonfuI of beef extract, half teaspoonfu1 of salt and dusting of paprika in her own kitchen she would have had pre- pared a pint of high-seasonedA stock.
 The cabbages placed on the rack were covered with buttcred paper and cooked in a mediun-hot oven for ee-quarters of an hour, basting occasionally.
 Dutch Cabbage
 Dutch cabbage is another of Frau MA clever dishes Chop the cabbage and soak in cold salted water for three hours In a saucepan put two tablespoonfnls each of butter and sugar, a teaspoonfuI of salt, pinch of paprika, very small onion, chopped, cupful of chopped tart apples, two tab1espoonfuis of vinegar and the drained cabbage, of which there should be about three cupfuis.

~ NE of my old friends, who
 looks at life through a vista N of fortunate years, says in a
 postscript to recent letter:
 Most of us in this world are plain folk, who don't figure in high society or high finance, and who don't take much stock in the new-fangled ideas about divorce, written, I suspect, by persons who never knew real home life. The whole question of satis- factory living is the preservation and betterment of this home life, which is also the basis of all good government. And this home life ought to be the supreme business of the marriage part nership. No partnership can succeed when the partners are forever stand ing on their rights and forgetting that their first duty is to get along together If husband and wife would each give little and take little, instead of wearing out their nerves on rights they would make themselves happier and the world better"

~OME people suppose that business
 men have little or no trouble with their helpers. especially those who
 pay good salaries. The public has the idea that man or woman must meas ure up to a certain standard or be dis charged, and in theory that is the way, but in practice there are many excep- tions to this rule.
 There are hundreds and thousands of incompetent persons all over the land, and 1t is quite likely there always will be- Women in offices and business houses who are there chiefly to draw their salaries are more numerous than worthless men, since there is always less mercy shown to men. Of course there are employers who will not tolerate in competent helpers of either sex for any reason, but few business men are able to harden their hearts when importuned to help out friend in distress.
 The Frisnd in Distress
 Husbands die, leaving widows who must support families; fathers leave daughters suddenly helpless, and disas- ters and troubles make 1t necessary for all sorts of women to find employment who never dreamed of such thing.
 Friends cast about for some work within the capacity of the unfortunate woman, and some business man is sure to be asked to take her out of kindness. It may be social or political or religious reasons come up to force the man to take her against his will, or his friend ship for the family may impel to offer her a place, thinking she will be able to handle the work.
 q Type of Incompetence
 A young lady wanted to take up type writing as a fad, so she persuaded her father to give her place in factory in which he owned a great deal of stock. The manager could not afford to offend the wealthy stockholder, but the in- competent girl was the trial of his life. On rainy days she would appear in a cab about ten o'clock If she came at all, and she would be absent for every re- ception and tea the town boasted. Worse than all, she had the peculiar, slanting penmanship affected by young ladies few years ago, so that the men who had to decipher her scrawls fairly tore their hair over her work.
 She chattered and ate candy and laughed and did everything but work, and the patient and long suffering com petent workers in the office had to, do and undo her work constantly. There was a general celebration when her en-

Here come nine,
 but our meals are more complicated things, and we may water our DOT ridge" only by cooking an additional something easy, quick to make, and one for which the ingredients are always at Soup without Stock
 For this you may use the following ingredients and proportions: To every pint of milk use three medium sized potatoes, one tablespoonful of chopped onion, one teaspoonful of salt, speck of white pepper, one-half tablespoonful
 This will make the best soup, of course, but if milk is not to be spared, or not easily obtainable, you may use milk and water of equal parts, and in the same way beef dripping may be substituted for butter, provided it is quite pure and clear.
 First of all the potatoes should be washed, pared and boiled, and while they are cooking put on in the double When the potatoes are done, drain and mash them, add the milk and rub through strainer, afterward putting the whole back into the double boiler and on the stove. Add seasoning and your soup is then ready to thicken-
 Thickening Soups
 I have already given one formula for thickening soups; this is another to be used when no liquid is being added, but when butter is the medium for smoothing the flour. For this you need to take a small saucepan and melt your butter, adding the flour by degrees, and stirring constantly. It will take three or four minutes for your flour to cook thoroughly, then add it slowly to the

A very few minutes is required to cook dates, and they are easily and quickly washed and stoned. They come from a dusty and not too higienic country, however, and should be washed thoroughly, whether they are to be eaten cooked or uncooked. After washing, drain and re- move the stones. Some very pleasing Date Blanc-mange
 Flavor a quart of plain blanc-mange with vanilla; while warm, stir in two cupfuls of stoned dates, pour into a wetted mold, and set on ice to harden When firm, turn out and cover with whipped cream or the whites of two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar Decorate with blanched split almonds or halved English walnut meats.
 Date Jelly
 Wash one pound of dates and let them soak in four cupfuls of water for two hours. Drain off the water, strain It, dIlQ put IL III d saucepan WILT one and one-half cupfufs of sugar. Stone the dates, add them to the syrup, and let simmer for five minutes. Before removing from the fire, stir into them half box of gelatine which has been soaked until soft in half cupful of cold water. Stir over the fire until the gelatine is dissolved, then pour into a mold and set in a cold place until hardened Serve with whipped cream heaped around the base of jelly.
 Date Bread
 Make sponge with one quart of luke-warm water, half cake of com pressed yeast, teaspoonful of salt and one and one-half pint of flour. Set it to rise in warm place. When quite light and spongy add half cupful each of sugar and molasses and sufficient flour to make stiff enough to knead Work in two heaping cupfuls of coarsely-chopped dates, knead and set to rise again. When light, mold into loaves, and when we'll risen bake for three-quarters of an hour in a good oven. This makes delicious bread. Children frequently prefer it to cake, Iand it is more wholesome for them

 Strawberry Sponge
 Toast sponge-cake jumbles and let berry whip on top and in center place large, fully ripe berries. For the whip, chop one white of egg into a-deep bowl and add six large berries, one cupful of sugar and a quarter teaspoonful of salt. Whip until the mixture will keep its shape when dropped from the whipper. If the berries are not tart, few drops of lemon juice should be added while whipping.
 NEW WAYS OF PREPARING THE USUAL
 VEGETABLES
 When the family palate tires of "the common growths of Mother Earth" the homely cabbage, the plebeian carrot, will after depending on these vegetables cooked in ordinary ways during the winter season, why not try serving them in uncommon ways?
 Take the plump and vulgar cabbage, for instance; did you ever stuff it? It is very good that way. The stuf1ng can consist of bread-crumb dressing pre- pared as for poultry filling, and used either alone or put into the cabbage in alternate layers with chopped beef or pork, the two meats that Ego" best with cabbage. When the meat is used have at hand cupfu1 of good gravy, and with spoonful of it noisten each layer of meat, but. have the crumbs dry and fluffy" moistening only with melted buttef>
 Another good filling is boiled rice made rich with cream and butter and used by itself or in combination with chopped nuts Sausage meat is another to be commended filling, while small birds will give youra dish fit to place be- fore royalty.
 Relieving Out the Cabbage
 The usual way of hollowing out cahrs bage for filling is to start at the top, but reversal of that method has the obvious advantage of getting rid of the hard center stalk and the tough midribs.
