Peach Delight and oossn Pudding Can
Both D Recommended.

Peach Delight -Butter the bot
tom and sides of q shallow baking
dish Slice stale bread rather thin
and cut In round shape with a tin
cutter. Cover the bottom of the dish
with these. Open q can Of peaches
and on top of each piece Of bread
lay half q peach--the side from which
the pit has been removed uppermost.
Fill each cavity with . spoonful of
brown sugar and q small piece Of but
ter. Put In the oven and bake slowly,
occasionally adding more sugar. Just
before they are quite cooked add .
teaspoonful Of any kind Of sweet jam
to each peach. Serve In the pudding
dish hot with whipped cream or .
rich foamy sauce.
Queen Pudding.-Take one pint Of
bread crumbs, one quart of milk. q
coffee cup Of sugar. the yolks of four
eggs and the grated rind of one large
lemon. Beat together the yolks of the
eggs. the sugar and the lemon until
thoroughly blended, then add the bread

Place for Inaugural Dance Is in Doubt

Pension Commissioner Warner says
that the pay of employees during that
period, within which they would be
in enforced idleness, aggregates $685.
474, and it would mean just that much
cost to the government.
He says that the work of tho Office
will be put back. and that damage
that cannot be estimated invariably
follows every occupancy of the PEN
sion office for the inaugural ball.
There is already on foot, however.
a movement to utilize the building as
in the past for the ball and the house
committee on the District of Columbia
after the holidays will bring III a
resolution to that end. Unless the
temper Of congress has undergone q
radical change in the last four years,
the resolution will meet with defeat.
The only other building In the city
where the ball could be held is the
new national museum, now nearing
completion, but this structure, because
of the absence Of court such as the
pension building has, would lessen
the brilliancy Of the function by con-
fining the guests to the corridors.
The receipts from the inaugural
ball in the past have gone toward pay
ing the expenses of the inauguration.

Bitter Social Feud Recalled By Death

shattered. Mrs. Davis went to Kansas
10 i've and legal separation was fol-
lowed BY q 1ivdrce. A year later. Mrs.
Evans became Mrs. Davis No. 2.
Mrs. William r. Merriam, wife of
rising politician, was the social lead
er in st. Paul at the time. She was a
devoted friend of the first Mrs. Davis,
and her decree that Mrs. Anna Agnew
Davis must not be recognized socially
was obeyed implicitly. =
It was not long before William r.
Merriam was elected governor Of Min
nesota, and his wife assumed her po-
sition as mistress of the executive
mansion. The inaugural ball is the
great social function of st. Paul. and
when Mrs. Merriam sent out her in
vitations the former governor and his
wife were excluded.
Gov. Davis was elected to the Unit
ed States senate In 1887. Soon after
the expiration of Gov. Merriam's term
he was appointed director of the CEN
sus, coming with his wife to this city.
and transferring the scene Of hostil-
tiles.
Senator Davis died on November 81,
1900, from blood poisoning. While
campaigning in Maine he suffered q
slight abrasion Of the foot. The dye
from his silk hose infected the wound
and septicemia resulted. Mrs. Davis
was married to Hunter Doll on July
20. 1903.

ton was the largest ever recorded, a.
average Of S2.6 pounds for each man,
woman and child in the country.

that the production Of beet sugar for

popular of all the CONNECTIONS. You
will require for their making, one
pound sweet almonds. one pound pow
dered sugar, half ounce of butter
and rose water to flavor. Blanch the
almonds and spread on fiat dish to
dry. This will require at least IL
hours. Pound fine in a mortar until

rosewater to make dough that can
be rolled out. Divide into two parts
and having busted the molding board
with powdered sugar put one-half on
the board and form into fiat round
cakes like macaroons. Put the other
half on the board. roll out to half
inch in thickness and cut into little
strips. Moisten the edges OF the first
cakes with little rose water and
place the little strips around them to
form cups. Set these on creased pa
per on nat tins and bake in a very
slow oven.
For the filing, mix one pound pow
dered sugar with rose water to mois-
ten and beat until stir. FIJI the cups
