FRUIT ICES

Ices and ice cream are so easily made
nowadays, and SO tempting and de-
licious when daintily served. that they
ought to form large proportion OF
our summer desserts. When they are
made of pure milk, cream, sugar and
fruit they are not only unharmful but
they are really nourishing and easily
digested And served with fruit, as
they often ought to be served, they
are especially healthful. But remem-
Der that to be good for you ices and
ice creams should be made of perfectly
fresh and pure materials, and to be
appetizing they should be attractively
ser ed.
Orange ice in skins.-Boil for five
minutes pint of water and cup of
sugar with the yellow part of the rind
Clipped from three oranges. Cool this
syrup, add II to the juice of six large,
juicy oranges and strain. Freeze hard,
stirring only occasionally, and pack for
several hours. In the meantime pre-
pare half dozen orange skins in the
form of little baskets, with handles.
These skins can be those of the Or
anges used in the ice for the yellow
part Of the skin cut away to form the
baskets will be enough to boil in the
syrup. Chill the skin baskets. line
them with thin little lace paper doilies,
stand them on other paper doilies to
keep them from slipping about the
plates, and fill them with the ice.
Orange Compote.-Boil a half pound
Of granulated sugar with just a little
water for five minutes. Cool the syrup
and add the Juice of a quarter of a
lemon and the meaty part of four or
five oranges, carefully separated from
all skin and segment, and broken into
small pieces.
Chocolate Ice Cream with Whipped
Cream.-This way Of serving chocolate
cream is especially desirable for sum-
mer, as the whipped cream ightens the
chocolate flavor. Melt an ounce of
chocolate in quarter of a cup Of hot
water in which the same amount of
sugar has been dissolved. Stir this over
the fire until it Is smooth and add it,
with a cupful of sugar and a good
pinch of salt, to quart of thin cream
which has been scalded, with a two
inch piece of cinnamon bark. Strain
this mixture, let it cool, add table,
spoonful of vanilla extract and freeze.
Pack the cream in a. melon mold and
let it stand for several hours. Turn it
on large plate and surround it with
1uffy whipped cream, decorated with
thin slices of candied fruit.

<SVO HAT month in the mountains

SsV1 HAT month in the mountains
would have done me good" said
n the man who had been for
tunate enough to get his vacation in
August. But there's no chance of it
now. When Brown writes he's i'll he
means it. He'd rather come back to
work any day"
The sickness Of the other representa-
tive of the firm seemed likely to con-
tinue for at least another month.
Il was feeling seedy, too he said to
friend whom he told of his bad luck,
'and l needed the change"
What did you expect to happen to
you during that month";" his friend
asked.
"Oh, 1 meant to take enough exercise
to harden up my MUSCLES he said;
swim every day to take off few
pounds of stomach that l have been
conscious of for the last few months.
Then 1 meant to knock off drinking,
and that would have helped me to
train down. I also intended to give up
smoking-that was for the nerves. I'd
have come back as good as new"
The friend to whom he confided his
regrets happened to be physician and
sympathized with any man who wanted
to take a vacation for any such good
purpose. He knew the ideas that in
spired so many men who went away
with only the thought of amusing
themselves whatever the result might
be- One may see plenty of this type at
such places at Naragansett, New Lon
don and even nearer at home along the
Jersey coast.
There's not a thing you mentioned"
he said to his friend. that cannot be
done just as we'll right here in Phila-
delphia. There will be one difference,
however between the task here and in
the country. What you are attempt
ing in the city will seem a great deal
like work. II you were engaged in the
same efforts on your vacation 1t would
be part of the sport. In every respect
the result will be the same"
This suggestion took seed. On the
day set for the vacation he had meant
to take the cocktails came to an end

What New York Children Read

throughout the entire city have been
largely arranged by her. Here the
children gather daily to read before the
little tables or search through the
long, low book shelves for books to
their liking 1t has been Miss Moore's
experience that, left to themselves, the
children are remarkably orderly and
careful in handling books and may be
trusted far more than grown people in
such matters.
The records kept by Miss Moore of
the taste of children in various neigh
borhoods show some surprising facts.
The taste of the children in the lower
east side, for example, is far more
serious than in many of the more well
to do or Fashionable neighborhoods.
Thus the little Hebrew children will
read Shakespeare, serious works of his
tory and much poetry, while the aver
age child further uptown prefers pic
ture books and humorous writings.

BREAKFAST DISHES

Breakfast dishes ought to be easy of
digestion and at the same time as
nourishing as possible. The principal
work of the day is as rule performed
in the morning, and whether 1t takes
manual or mental form, supply of
blood is needed to give energy.
If meal is partaken of which is diff
ficult to digest before work is begun,
then either the work suffers or the food
remains undigested. The stomach does
do it's best work while we are per-
forming the hardest of our daily tasks.
Here are some dishes that are ex-
cellent:
American Omelet
Beat up five eggs and a tablespoonful
of cream, four tablespoonfuls Of fine
bread crumbs, half a teaspoonful of
onion juice, a teaspoonful of hnely
chopped parsley, and seasoning of salt,
pepper and red pepper.
Melt heaping tablespoonful of but
ter in an omelet pan, pour in the mix
ture and stir over the fire.
When sufficiently cooked, shape it,
allow it to sit, and color, then turn
out on hot dish and serve at once.
HOminy Cakes
Boil one cupful of white stock and
milk with one tablespoonful of butter,
blade of mace and one bay leaf. Stir
in four ounces of hominy. Cook for ten
minutes, stirring constantly. Season
with pepper, salt and grated nutmeg;
remove bay leaf and mace, and add
yolks of three eggs.
Spread this on a buttered plate, and
let cool.
Divide the mixture into equal por-
tions shape into round fiat cakes,
brush over with well beaten egg and
roll in fine bread crumbs, and fry In
smoking hot fat to a golden color
1ig1, nd
serve hot.
If liked, two tablespoonfuls of finely
chopped cooked ham or tongue can be
added to the above mixture before be-
ing made up into shapes.
Scrambled Eggs with Mushrooms
Take three or four eggs, eight mush-
rooms, one heaping tablespoonful Of
butter, buttered toast, and seasoning
of salt, pepper and red pepper.
If fresh mushrooms are used wash
them, chop finely and fry in a little
hot butter.
Break the eggs into a basin, beat
them and pour in a saucepan, add the
mushrooms, the butter and seasonings.
Stir with a wooden spoon over the
fire until lightly set.
Have the toast neatly trimmed on a
hot platter, put the egg mixture on
top of the toast and serve imme-
dlately-
Eggs on Toast
This is a very simple dish, In fact
nothing more than baked eggs set in
rounds or rings of toasted bread. Cut
some slices of stale bread and toast
them to nice light brown color.
Stamp out as many rings are are re-
quired, cut out the center with a
smaller cutter so as to form rings of
toast. Spread each ring with butter
and place them on a well creased fire.
proof dish.
Break an egg carefully into each
ring of toast, season with a little salt
and pepper, and pour a tablespoonful
of cream around each egg.
Put the dish in a slow oven until the
white of egg begins to sit.
Serve as hot as possible.
Bacon with Brussels Sprouts
Fry a dozen slices of bacon IN fry
ing pan; when done take up and keep
hot. Put into the same frying pan
about a pound of cold, cooked, well
dlained brussels sprouts, and fry them
l.. the bacon fat.
Season with salt and pepper and
toss them a little.
Put the sprouts into a hot buttered
dish and serve with the fried bacon.

NT OW is the time to get ready for
winter, to lay up a store OF
~ health that will help you through
all the long months when you are
cooped up in a stuffy office or shop.
Try and spend as much time as pos
sible out of doors. If you can afford
to do SO take long rides on the open

good as being in the country.
Draw your bed close to the window

Minding Manners Great Asset

N7 o woman is too young or too old,
v too powerful or too inconspicuous,
~ that she can afford to grow care
less in her manners. There is no bigger
asset in life than manners that win
friends-and keep them.
A pleasant good morning costs
nothing, yet is as rare in many families
as If manners were of radtum
scarcity.
Some peoples manners are like bats

Gus in the morning may oil the house,
hold machinery for the day.
Surface manners are not the most
desirable, but are much better than
none. Like painting the outside of an
old house, they at least please the
casual beholder.
The true good manners are matter
of the heart. They carry friendly
smile for all, kindly interest in the
small affairs of others--that great
breeder of patience-and courtesy
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-17

that is not limited by feelings or favor.
Many people let down their manners
through Indifference; they are self
absorbent and forget rights of others.
These are the women who would be
Mortified to know their reputation for
rudenesS.
There is less conscious rudeness than
most of us credit. Occasionally the
snob appears who thinks position is
shown by snubs; more often our lapses
in politeness are due to oVerwork,
worry, hurry or ill-health.
There is a rudeness that springs
from Observation-Disclosures oddly enough,
this lack of manners is more openly
resented than most though the of
fender is generally gentle at heart, and
would never wound Intentionally.
Whatever the cause, mind your man
ners. 1t will pay you a big interest in
good will. Do not forget the IS"

ENHE childrens libraries of New

Il of them, are very wisely directed
by Miss A. L. Moore of the board of
education. 1t is a position OF unique
responsibility and opportunity. Miss
Moore is the final court of appeal in
determining what books shall be laid
before the children, as she also exer-
cises general direction over their
management. 1t is she, therefore,
more than anyone else who moulds the
taste of these children, thus exerting
an enormous and far-reaching influence
upon the taste in literary matters of
the coming generation. An army of
children is reached in this way, to be
