Making Cream Whip.

Many housekeepers who like
whipped cream as an accompaniment
for broths. chocolate or desserts think
they must order cream of a special
richness. This generally must be
done the day before and always cost
double the price of ordinary cream.
One young woman discovered last
winter way of easily making her
daily supply of cream whip. She
merely added a teaspoonful Of granu-
lated sugar to every pint, had it ice
cold and quickly whipped it to thick
froth in the churn.
A special whipped cream churn is,
by the way, an investment that pays
for every housekeeper. The old
method Of using a fork and skimming
of froth as it comes to the surface is
a waste of time that the modern WON
an cannot afford

NO CRIME TO BET GLOVES.
Nothing in Penal Code to Show Wager
Is Unlawful, Says Judge.

New Millions Of persons,
said Justice Gaynor, think that to
make a bet is unlawful; that If two Ia
dies bet a pair of gloves it is against
the law.
There is nothing in the penal code
from beginning to end to show that
If you and make bet 1t is crime
This obiter dictum was delivered In
the appellate division when the fam
GUS injunction controversy between
Justice Gaynor and Justice Dickey
came to be argued. The history Of the
case is this:
One Langfelt, at Coney island, ask
ed Police Captain Langan there IL
he could run plate game"
rs it gambling?" asked Langan-
no" said Langfelt.
Then go ahead" was the ruling.
The police, nevertheless, raided the
place and called the plate game
gambling. Langfelt was discharged.
He then obtained from Justice Scud-
der of the supreme court temporary
order enjoining the police from inter
fering with him. Before Justice DICK
ey the case came for argument, and
Justice Dickey refused to continue the
Injunction. He said that the game
was gambling.
An appeal was taken to Justice Gay
nor, of the next higher court.
After hearing the manner in which
the plate game" was played Justice
Gaynor remarked that it was similar
to quoits or ring-toss aboard ship. OF

Removing Paint.

1t is difficult to remove dry paint
from a material, yet this is recon-
mended Hold the article over steam
with a cloth dipped>i in kerosene. Re-
peat this until the steam and kero-
sene remove the stain or until the
paint is weakened so that it can be
removed with gasoline. Kerosene will
often loosen paint and always without
injury to the color. Many recommend
hot turpentine, but it might explode
and is extremely dangerous In the
hands of an amateur.

Have our candid friends any idea
how dull the English law and lawyers
have grown lately? Rarely is there
any legal incident In this country with
grain of fun in it. Hence we are
driven to a younger country, where
lawyers, in common with the rest OF
the population, still retain some boy
ish instincts and are not too blase

more British and stodgy for as long as
