TWELFTH NIGHT CAKE

Beat one-fourth of pound of butter
to a cream, add one-fourth of pound
of fine white sugar, three well beaten
eggs, a pinch Of salt two cupfuls of
flour in which have been sifted two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, the
grated rind of half a lemon, one-fourth
of a pound of cleaned currants, one
fourth Of a pound of seeded raisins and
two ounces of mixed candied peel cut
in tiny chips. Beat all thoroughly to-
gether. Thoroughly wash and sterilize
button and dime, and drop them in
the dough. Turn into a cake tin lined
with buttered paper, and bake in a
moderate oven until done. Let the
cake get quite cold before icing It,,
then turn it upside down and ice the
under side, as 1T will be even and
smooth. For a rich and delicious icipg
make a thick paste with the whites of
seven fresh eggs, two and one-half
pounds of powdered sugar and one-half
teaspoonful of lemon juice. Spread it
over the cake with thin, broad -bladed
knife or spatula, occasionally dipping 1T
in cold water. Let the cake stand
twenty-four hours until the icing Is
hard. Ornament the cake in any way
preferred. An English Twelfth Night
cake is very pretty. After icing 1t Is
directed above, small red and white
candles are arranged alternately over
the hardened icing in the form of a
star, each candle having a circle of
pink-tinted icing piped around its base.
The cake is garnished around its base
with thick wreath of red berried holly,
and before 1t is placed on the table the
candles are lighted.-Woman's Home

DESIGNED HER OWN cHIFFoNIER

Boxes for many things are needed
by the woman who makes elaborate
toilets. That fact has inspired at
least one woman, known always as
bright. A chiffonier that adorns her
home is one she designed. It has three
tiers OF drawers of varying Sizes COW
cred with fine Japanese mating that
matches the cretonne and wall paper
of her bourdoir One drawer has a
compartment for three lengths of
gloves, each holding six pairs in or
der. Then comes a separate place for
starched ties and collars, and another
for soft neckwear. In a row, as If the
owner had a fondness for ALTERATION,
are the compartments for handker-
chiefs, hosiery and-hair.

NINAL rehearsals are now in pro-
n gress for the Bankers show,
n when the Gringo Came" at the
Mason, and there is every reason to
believe that when the curtain rises on
this beautiful opera tonight, very
perfect production will be seen.
Harry Girard, who has the matter in
hand, says no obstacle has come up
to mar the progress of the prepara-
tions, and that he will offer Los An
geles one of the most delightful en-
tertainments ever seen here for the last
half of this week. 1t is a novelty in
itself, says he, in that this is the first
presentation on a local stage Of a local
opera; plays of local origin have been
numerous, but never before has an
opera born, written, composed and pro-
ouced wholly in Los Angeles seen the
light of day. Mr. Girard is enthusiastic
over the work, and says it surely will
see the light of the professional stage
ere Tonga contingency wholly de-
pendent upon the favor 1t finds this
week.
The participants in the opera have
worked for weeks rehearsing for 1t,
and are certain that no fault will be
found with their work. The last few
days they have spent on the Mason
stage. getting familiar with every nook
and corner of it, and fair society maids
are now as glib in talking of vampire
traps and tormentors as they have been
heretofore in discussing coiffures and
modes. Costumes have all been tried
on and found perfect, lines are
thoroughly memorized and the various
melodies have so far progressed that
some of them have even been pub
lished, for sale. The whole, in fact, is
thoroughly rounded into shape, and
nothing remains, practically, save to
tune up the orchestra and begin the
music for the first curtain.
Seat sales for when the Gringo
Came" have been very heavy and So
ciety has taken large blocks, but good
ones remain for every performance

NOTES NOT EFFECTIVE.
Prosecutions Claim in the Breeze
Dickerson Bank Case.

ASHEvILLE. N. c., August district
Attorney Holton closed the second week
of the -Dickerson bank case with
the declaration that he proposed to show
that the $4,000 of notes, and the first
deed of trust given by the First Baptist
Church of this city never became eff
fective, despite the fact that it is alleged
that the defendants are charged with
hypothecating two of these 5000 notes
with a Charleston bank. The district
attorney claimed that instead of this
mortgage, one given later to the Old
Dominion Building and Loan Association
was used.
Col. v. s. Lusk resumed his evidence on
the stand, and among the proofs of claims
identified by him were certificates of de-
post issued to the widow of "Bill
Nye," who lost several thousand
dollars when the First National Bank
failed.
The trial of the proceeds of credits was
again taken up s. T. Dorsett, former
teller of the bank, being recalled. He
