MAPLE FONDANT

Put into a saucepan four cupfuls of
brown sugar two cupfuls of maple
syrup, two cupfuls of hot water and
level teaspoonful of cream of tartar.
Stir over a slow fire until thoroughly
dissolved, but take care not to boil. AS
soon as 1t is dissolved wipe away the
grains that appear around the edge of
the pan with a damp cloth, taking care
not to jar the pan or let any moisture
from the sides fall back into it. Now
push the pan over the fire and let 1t
come to a quick boil. Cook until 1t
makes soft ball when dropped into
cold water to test. Remove from the
fire and cool very gradually in the pan
in which it was cooked, Never try to
hasten the cooling by setting the pan
in the water. When cool, not cold, stir
energetically until a thick, creamy
mass, then knead with the hands on
marble slab, the longer the better.
When light and creamy, put in an
earthen dish and cover with slightly
dampened cloth until ready to use,
which should not be under twenty-four
hours at the least. Then flavor, shape
and make what combinations with
nuts you wish. If kept damp this fon-
dant will keep for weeks. Avoid MAX
ing any kind of fondant on damp days,
as the sugar absorbs the moisture from
the atmosphere and will not harden. If
any fondant comes out granny after
being stirred, cover again with water.
stir until thoroughly dissolved, put on
the fire and cook again.

TAFT,
MARY GARDEN, ETC.

Here is the recipe for camp fire
omelet concocted one summer by Pres
ident Taft while at Murray Bay.
In a battered spider Mr.. Taft broke
four and a half eggs, gravely explain
ing that the fifth egg was half broken,
like the habitant colts in the neighbour
hood, before he got it.
Salt, black pepper and the fried frag-
ments of a small string of trout were
added, and the whole. stirred with an
impromptu wooden spoon and served
on birch bark platters, was tooth
some dainty far superior, In the opin-
ion of all who enjoyed it, to anything
the White House chef is likely to
achieve.
Mary Garden gives her favorite re-
cipe for eggs which she used on Easter
day:
Mince the tenderest lobster claws
with "a warm seasoning of paprika, a
dash of mustard, salt and crumbled dry
estragon leaf Whip the whites of four
eggs to a stiff froth and brown them
in a small platter. While the whites
are browning stir the lobster meat and
seasoning into the yolks and bring
them to quick scrambly simmer. Pour
them over the souffied whites and
serve with garnish of lobster claws
and coral on the border of the dish.
L.
Ell, which Is the recipe used by the
Yale club In New York. The formula
is as follows:
Mince ten anchovies and small
slice of Virginia ham to the finest pos
sible paste, and for each egg use two
teaspoonfuls of the mixture; break into
a chatting dish blazer, which has been
rubbed with garlic and warmed with
small lump of butter, two eggs for
each person and scramble with the
ham and anchovy. Serve on Yale
blue dish.
Mark Twain considers the following
his best recipe:
Divest two genuine eggs of shell and
claws, being careful to avoid breaking
same. If you break 'em begin again
at the top of the recipe and proceed
anew. Lay the plumage and cackle on
one side, roll the remainder very thin,
adj baking powder and boil In pud-
ding bag over a slow fire for a week.
Tie with baby ribbon and serve cold.
Eggs suffragette" constitute the
novelty at the fallous Colony club.
Mrs. Clarence Mackay is sponsor for
them. They are simply hard boiled
eggs, split, emptied of their yolk and
stuffed with anchovies and the
creamed yolk highly spiced with mus
tard and paprika.

ERgsHENINe STRAW HATS

Like straw hats, which are the worse
for last seasons wear, yet which are
not worth sending to professional
cleaner, can be made to look nice and
white by covering the straw with a
thick paste of yellow corn meal ana
gasoline mixed. Let the paste stay on
over night or until it is dry and brush
off with a clean stiff wrisk. If neces-
sary. another coating of the cornmeal
can be applied.
Chip, panama and leghorn hats can
have soiled spots cleaned from them
by rubbing the surface with crusts OF
bread. Use small pieces or the pread
and discard as soon as soiled.
For dark colored or black straw mats
the hest freshener is a thorough brush
ing and a careful wiping with alcohol.
This is a much better treatment FOR a
black hat than attempting to give II
new blackness by shoe polish.

Musical

HIDELIA MAENNERCHOR, under
the direction of Frederick Reiser,
Il presented a very creditable con-
cert program last night in Simpson
auditorium.
Among the four chorus numbers
given by the society, "Das Erste Lied"
(Handwerg) was best received, attack
and ensemble being excellent.
Miss Bessie Fuhrer's violin numbers
were we'll rendered, and showed the
fine tonal quality and artistic finish
that always characterize her work.
Williams Edison Strowbridge, as al
ways, proved a reliable and satisfac-
tory accompanist. Bruce Gordon
Kingsley preceded the Wagner num-
bers with explanatory remarks.
Interest centered in Arnold Won der
Aue, the soloist of the evening, dra-
matte tenor of the Savage Opera COM
pany, who made his first appearance
in Los Angeles last night. Mr.. Won der
Aue has a voice of true tenor quality,
of good range and cultivation. AL
though not a young man, his voice Is
clear and full, and his work was es-
pecially acceptable in two Schubert
numbers, Der Erlkoenig" and "Unge-
duld."
The audience, though small, was APP
preciative, and the artistic graciously
responded to several -encores.

QUICK wAY no CLEAN SILVER

Mace II in a cup of boiling water and
add three or four tablespoonfuls of
whiting. While hot pour this over the
silver spoons and pour off again, re-
peating it several times. Leave the
spoons in the water for five minutes,
lift them and polish with cheesecloth.
Do not rub them until the white FROST
ing begins to appear. for this powder
assists in polishing. The finest silver
can be cleaned in this manner. The
work can be done more quickly with
hot than with cold ingredients.

COURAGE

IT'S the front toward life that matters most
The tone, the point OF view,
The constancy that in defeat
Remains untouched and true;
For death in patriot fight may be
Less gallant than a smile;
And high endeavor to the gods,
Seems in itself worth while!

Miss NanceSWill reach Edgefeld, re-
naming here the guest of Mrs. J. L.

afternoon. From the latter place
Miss Nance will go to Miss Pauline
Byrd's school Tuesday morning,
reaching Berea in the afternoon.
Wednesday morning she will be car
ried to Meeting Street, returning in

work in our county at this time.
Miss Nance being one of the fore
most educators in South. Carolina,
the people of our county are indeed
fortunate in having her spend ten
days among them. The teachers,
trustees and patrons should do their
utmost to secure large audiences to
hear this very gifted young woman.

Lee county's Fine Land.

Mr.. R. T. strom stopped over in
Edgefeld Saturday while en- route
from a weeks visit to his daughter,
Miss Sallie May Strom, who is teach
ing near Lamar, S. G. Mr.. Strom
was very favorably impressed with
the fine farming lands of Lee coun-
ty that sell from $50 to $50 per
acre, but he did not approve of the
business methods of the farmers.
They average a bale of cotton to
the acre but produce very little corn.
While in Bishopville he saw these
cotton farmers already buying bacon
at time prices" Mr.. Strom says he
saw fertile fields that measured seven
miles across but practically all is
devoted to cotton. Barns. are sell
dom ever seen, the hay and fodder
being stacked out in weather. Mr..
Strom admired the fine lands and
fell in lovewith many of the peo-
pie, but questions the Judgment Of

Public Sentiment Not Reflected.
The fact that some of the twen

the map on our first page, are rep
resented in the general assembly by
delegations partly or entirely op
posed to state prohibition. does moi
necessarily mean that a majority Of
the voters of those counties likewise
oppose such measure. In local OF
county elections, the personal popu
larity or personality of candidate
often attracts voters to a greater ex.
tent than the position that he may
take upon q given issue, especially
is this true when there is no direct
issue before the people. If we mis-
take not, there are one OF more pro-
bibitionists members of delegations
from some OF the wet counties.

bitionists.
The Tennessee situation also
clearly shows that the views of the
successful candidate do not always
reflect the sentiment of che people.
Last summer, the helamented Carmack,
prohibition candidate for governor,
was defeated, and Patterson, the
whiskey candidate, was elected, yet
) the voters of Tennessee at the same
time elected a legislature that adopt
ed statewide prohibition. by an
overwhelming majority.
