goes from the V to the other sido

of three dishes at once.
"For the bachelor girl or the actress

the junket will not set. Remove from
stove, add half a junket tablet, stir
and pour into molds, filling them two
thirds full. Top off with sweetened
and favored whipped cream.
Orange maringue requires one pint
of boiling water, tablespoon corn
starch, the juice of two lemons, the
whites of three eggs and three or
anges (amount for six). Add the corn
starch, moistening with cold water, to
the boiling water and four tablespoons
sugar. Boil ten minutes and add
lemon juice. Pour this while hot over
some sliced oranges; make meringue
of the whites of the eggs with three
tablespoons sugar; spread this over
the top and brown in the oven or by
holding hot stove lid over it "a good
way, be it noted, to save burning).
Garnish with slices of orange peeling

New Tree On High 7oyer

ten or twelve feet in height.
The second tree was first noticed
a few days ago, and had sprung from
a creyice just above the cornice on the
south side of the tower. 1t is in plain
view from two sides of the square, and
seen through glass appears to be at
least six or eight inches high.
There are many versions as to how
the first tree ever started to grow on
the rock surface of the tower, and the
opinions are varied.
A plausible one seems that many
years ago some sweet-voiced songster,
in hurried fight over this charming
little city, dropped from its beak a
winged seed which lodged in crew
ice. There. warmed by the sun. nour-
ished by the showers and Graded by
the wind. the little seed put forth tiny
roots and frail shoots.
Growing courageous 1t added
branches and leaves until it has devel.
oped into a sturdy little maple. Twenty
years ago there were seven trees on
the tower, but from various causes all
died excepting the one that stands
proudly on the top of the tower.
Two of the seven had to be cut
away owing to the roots spreading the
stone work in such manner that the
tower was greatly damaged. Others
died, probably from lack of nourish-
ment, but the lone tree still thrives
through the summers heat and the
cold blasts of winter.
E The tiny tree that has made its ap-
pearance on the south side bids fair
to live for many years If it can with.
stand the elements. for its position is
such that it will be a long time before
1t will have reached such size as to
damage to any great extent the roof
of the tower.
