Philadelphia. Jan. 22-"Revolting' is the
word Miss Alice Paul, the American suf-
fragette. who returned on Thursday by
the steamer Haverford from exciting adj
ventures in England, applies to the forced
feeding which she endured in Holloway
Jail. Miss Paul, by the way, doesn't look
at all like the popular conception of an
agitator. She astonishes persons who see
her for the first time, after hearing of her
dongs. by her exceedingly feminine ap-
pearance. She is delicate slip of girl,

fresh berries or chopped apples, or the

and nuts It is important, however, to re-
member that a little less liquid should be
used In the original muffin mixture when
fresh fruit is added, and little more when
dried fruit is used, for in the former case
the fruit itself contains considerable moist
ure while in the latter it contains very
little and so absorbs an appreciate
amount A slightly different result VIII be
obtained if sliced apples are placed on top
OF the muffin batter. instead of being stirred
in. A deliciously rich muffin may be made
by increasing the shortening to one quarter
of cup of butter, and adding one-quarter
of a cup Of sugar and two or three eggs.
Still further varieties may be obtained by
substituting different kinds of flour or meal.
For whole wheat mullins use whole wheat
-four, instead OF pastry flour. For graham
mullins, use one cup of graham flour and
one cup of wheat -four. For rye mullins
use one cup of rye flour and one cup of
wheat -four For cornmeal mullins use
three-fourths of a cup of cornmeal and
one cup of flour, increasing the liquid to
one cup, as the meal has greater swelling
power than the flour. Leftover cooked
cereal may be used in similar fashion al
lowing one cup OF the cereal, such as oat-
meal, farina, rice, etc, TO one cup of flour.
Changes may also be made in the biscuit
dough to give many pleasing variations.
Old-fashioned shortcake will result if
shortening and sweeting be added to the
original ingredients TO the amount of
four tablespoonfuls of butter and two Of
sugar. The dough should be rolled out
into stwo layers, one buttered and the
other placed top of 1T. When baked
the layers may be separated and any fruit
desired sweetened and placed between, as
Strawberries, peaches. oranges, bananas,

To make whole wheat or rye shortcake
simply substitute whole wheat or rye flour
The biscuit dough simply rolled out, cut
into strips. spread with sugar and spice
is very good, while another pleasing re-
suit is obtained by rolling out the dough
rather thin. placing sliced apples close
together upon il and sprinkling with two
tablespoonfuls of sugar and one teaspoon
full of cinnamon or mixed spices. The
plain biscuit dough or the richer one
may be used in this cake.

In a Land of Little Shops
Underwear Ordered by the Pound and Bread
and Cake Sold in Separate Places.

life I'm Italy is delightful after you
learn how to live it said woman who
has just returned from year in that coun-
try. But there are several things besides
the language that you must master before
you can be really comfortable there-shop-
ping. for instance I used TO suppose that
shopping shopping the world over. but
I found that 1t Is quite different opera
ton In Genoa from what il is in New York.
Department stores there are incipIent at
fairs, which. compared to ours. are about
like bicycle compared to a So-horsepower
automobile. Italy is land of little. one
room shops which are more picturesque
than department stores, but not so con-
venient for the shopper. And some things
that you find for sale here on every side are
practically unobtainable there.
Underwear. for instance. I sailed for
Italy in hurry, you know. and didn't take
much underwear. so the day after landed
in Genoa / started out to buy some
wish you could see the specimens that were
offered me. The only nightsown I could
find was clumsy thing like mans night
shirt only made a tri1e smaller. Lingerie
such as you can get here in every shop was
non-existent. The few garments they could
produce were exceedingly high priced. con-
sidering their quality / recollect a petit
coat I succeeded in finding. and bought for
eight lire (si so in American money!. That
isn't much. Of course. but for 81 60 In an
American shop one can get a good, SER
viceable sateen pettcoat. That Italian skirt
ripped the first time 1 wore 1T. and II was
sewed in some diabolical fashion. so that
when one stitch started the whole seam
was gone. There were fiendish little ruff
fies on the bottom, remember, and these
ruff1es Immediately detached themselves
and dragged after me on the ground. Every
stitch of that garment had to be sewed
over on machine, and that when IL was
new.
italian women, I discovered in time,
wear homemade underwear mostly. and
that's why the shops don't carry the ready
made. A tourist who had just come from
a Sicilian city of sixty thousand inhabi-
tants told me there wasn't one single piece
of underwear for women for sale in the
town. The women there, she said, even
knitted their own cotton stockings or had
them knitted by women who did such
work on little hand machines.
"A funny thing you find in Genoa is the
underwear sold by the pound. 1t is very
heavy woollen underwear. made only at one
place. and people send from ell over Italy
for four, five or ten pounds of this under
wear.
