FRUIT CAKE.
A Recipe Which Can Be De-
pended Upon.
By DOROTHY AVERY HOWARD.

By DOROTHY AVERY HOWARD.
If you have not already made your
fruit cake hasten to get them out of the
way this week, for the week before
Christmas viii find you in such a rush
that the cakes may not be a success
There are all kinds of recipes for this
annual cake baking. but many of them
are no good The experienced house
keeper viii need no advice on the sub
ject, but to me young bride, who has
never tried to make this kind of cake,
which is called one of the most difficult
10 undertake, a few suggestions and a
tried recipe may not fail of appreciation.
She need not fear TO trust these. as they
have been tested by one OF the best
housekeepers know. And the cake IS
not as expensive as some which taste
no better. One pound of butter. ! pound
OF sugar. L eggs. ! pound OF flour. tea
spoons each OF cinnamon and mace. /
teaspoon each OF allspice and nutmeg, y
teaspoon of cloves, pounds raisins, 2
pounds currants, ] pound citron, 1 pound
almonds latter sheiling). 1 wine glass of
brandy. and I lemon. Cut the citron in
rings, bIanch the almonds and chop fine
Mix ell the fruit but the citron with
enough flour to coat II. Mix spice with
sugar, cream the butter. add sugar, the
beaten yolks, beaten whites. lemon rind
and juice, brandy, -four and fruit.
a pan with a stem in the middle makes
the cake soak better. since the heat
radiates all through it. Line the pan
with grooers' dark-brown paper, which
has been creased, to keep from burn
ing.
Another thing, Nhich is most impor-
tant Of all, do not attempt 10 bake the
cake yourself unless you are experienced
in this line; for this is the test OF cake
making, and you cannot afford to throw
away the ingredients of fruit cake or
have it burned Even some OF the best
cake makers send their Christmas cakes
TO a reliable baker, who charges only %
cents for relieving them of all the re-
sponsibiiity, to say nothing of the saving
in their gas bill and their time. When
the cake is done. sprinkle il every few
days for week or so with port or some
good wine. to insure 1t from getting too
dry.
Now, / have figured out just the exact
cost of the cake. the materials of which
were bought in Washington last week
at prevailing prices Of the green grocery
stores.
For a thirteen-pound cake there are
one or two slight changes in the recipe.

A S,amnlinrated Bath.

Nothing is so invigorating when
tired and warm as a scented bath or
hot water. In warm weather 1T proves
particularly refreshing when taken
before dressing for the evening.
The simplest of these baths is made
by adding cologne, toilet water, or
violet ammonia into quarter OF
tubful Of water.
A good aromatic mixture to keep
on hand is made from two ounces OF
tincture of camphor, four ounces OF
cologne and an ounce of tincture OF
benzoin. Add enough of this to the
bath water to make it milky,
If you are presented with colognes
or toilet waters that are not especially
fragrant, use them in the bath. The
scent is so faint as not to be disagree
able, and the refreshing qualities are
as great as from more expensive co.,
ognes.
Another refreshing bath is E-ade
by squeezing the filtered juice of four
lemons into quarter OF a tubful OF
water.
Where the aromatic bath seems eZ-
travagant, or there is no time for it,
put solution of the mixture given
above into a spray and spray it over
face, neck and arms.--NeW York
Times.

"DirigibIe" Gown Now.

The ''dirigible gown" so named be-
cause it is capable Of many evolutions,
and at the same time is perfectly safe
and eXceptio nally modest, is ready to
make its debut in Fifth avenue to sup
plant the startling pantaloon creation
of last season, and to become the SUBJ
feet of hours of discussion over the
tea tables.
Stylish as walking gown IN city
or town, the dirigible, simply by un-
buttoning here and fastening there,
may be changed to a garment of COM
fort and ease, especially adapted for
the golf links horseback riding or
canoeing.
The uew creation comes from a Co.'S
tune esta blishment in Fifth avenue,
the American birthplace of the CEN
sored directoire and of the pantaloon.
1t is made of broadcloth, The upper
portion Of the garment cut in modest
fashion, with three-quarter collar and
the skirt ON lines which allow, when
used as walking gown, for a neatly
fitting front and back. The bottom
of the skirt hangs halfway between
the ankle and the instep.
1t is not very different from any
walking gown, except that the front
of the skirt is divided, one portion
overlapping the other and each held
in position by stoutly sewed buttons.
For the golf links, the polo field,
the balloon or the aeroplane the diri-
gible skirt is quickly transformed
almost before the invitation is ended.
The skirt is unbuttoned down the
front, and the divided sides are taken
in on an angle, much like reefing a
sail, thus relieving the weight from
the bottom of the skirt and allowing
freedom for running of Jumping

surroundings. 1t will never be done
If you spend your time lamenting old
ways instead of adapting yourself to
new ones.
The girl who is adaptable will
never criticise the customs of the
place that is to be her home. She
will not announce, 1--WE did so and
so in Blanktown." "How queer we
never had such bridge rule at
home!" She may disapprove and feel
she can improve as much as she likes,
provided she keeps it to herself.
The adaptable girl does not force
her opinions, obtrude her wishes, or
become regulator. She does not
groan over past luxuries when fortune
takes wing, nor be ever anxious for
something that is not at hand
She may not like circumstances,
but she makes the best of them. So
;.esGg, she finds them not half so bad
as pictured,
1t IS we'll not to be too adaptable.
Where this trait is merged into yield
ing point of conscience, because
others see no harm, to become a

An English idea.

What is known as Dorothy bag"
In England is often made of worm
out tall silk hat. Begin by cutting
the hat close to the brim all round,
and then slip off the silk covering; it
will be found to be already in shape
of a convenient bag, and merely in
need of lining Of colored silk,
which can be made by cutting disk
the same size as the circle at the
top Of the hat, allowing for narrow,
turnings. The sides are the same
size and depth as the outer covering,
and the silk lining, being made seDa-
rate, is put inside tie outer covering;
the edges of the latter are turned
down an inch and the former turned
in to meet the raw edge and just
cover it. Small brass or bone rings
are sewn inside, eighteen being
needed, at intervals; a piece of silk
cord is passed through the rings, al
lowing enough to draw up to form
two handles, and it is then sewn to-
gether at the ends, the bag being thus
completed. Old tall hats can fre-
quently be found in the attic, and sat
isfaction lies in using them. .--Ne0'
