Bluetields. Nicaragua, January 3
(yia New Orleans, January l6)--The
official declaration OF Captain Thesi-
ger of the British warship Scyla.
stationed in Nicaraguan waters, that
there shall be no lighting at Grey
town, is still regarded by local Ameri-
cans as a move not as innocent as APP
pears on the surface. Many declare
that 1t looks like covert slap al the
United States. While similar order
with reference TO Bluefelds. before the
battle of Recreo, was given by Captain
Shipley. of the Des Moines. it Is point

It is said that he requested that q

that there Is open ground beyond the

Captain Theseger requested Captair

TWO WORLD FAMED GRANNIES
Ono Of These Talented Women Is
Sarah Bernhard and the Other
Ellen Terry.

Two famous giandmothers are dis
tinguished visitors of this country. Re-
ferring to these talented ladies The
Rochester Post Express says: "One OF
the grandmothers is Nine Sarah Bern
hardt; the other is Ellen Terry. Both
actresses have reached an age when it
is permissible to retire from active
life; but the French actress is said to
be as energetic as woman half her
age, while Ellen Terry is declared to
be as young as ever she was in the
palmy days when she and Henry Irv-
ing ruled the theatrical world of Eng.
land. Miss Terry has retired from the
stage SO far as acting is concerned,
and has taken to lecturing on Shakes
peare's heroines. And who could do
better than she who has played SO
many of the w0manly women Of the
great dramatist? Readers OF her
breezy biography know what she
thinks of Portia, Beatrice. VOLTA, Rosa

Curtains.

Bobinet curtains will be used a
great deal this season in parlors, din
ing rooms, libraries and bedrooms, diff
ferent styles being chosen to suit the
rooms Cluny lace as decoration is
little newer than renaissance, al
though the latter is being used as
much as ever.
Imitation Brussels lace curtains are
to be had in good designs for very lit
tie money 1t is often hard to tell
them from the real thing. Beautiful
curtains come in Nottingham, also in
the cheaper grades.
Colored curtains, like the barred
Madras, will not be used very much.
They are more of summer than a
winter drapery. Colored Nottingham
is bidding for favor, however. This
drapery comes in one or two tones, a
golden brown on tan being one of the
prettiest of the latter

The one who blows out the most can

plentifully sprinkled over 1t. The gifts
are wrapped In tissue paper tied with
silver cord and then attached to the

TRY A GERMAN APPLE CUP
Simple Recipe Furnishes Pleasing
Variety in Method Of Serving
Apples.

Select f1ne-grained apples, one for
each service; core and pare, leaving
on section of the skin, in the shape
of a ring, near one end of the apples.
Cut heart stalks Of celery very fine,
but do not chop it. Mix the celery
with mayonnaise dressing, to which
half the bulk Of whipped cream has
been added. Add also more salt and
pepper. Use this mixture to fill the
hollow centers of the apples, rounding
it up above the apple little. In the
center of the mixture In each apple set
tiny heart leaf of lettuce. Place the
apples on lettuce leaves and serve
at once. The ring Of apple skin gives
little color to the dish. The end Of
the apple on which it is left should be
upward. If the apples must stand
after pairing, rub over the exposed
surfaces very lightly with the cut side
Of a lemon. This will prevent discol'
oration.

A Cleaning Glove.

An ingenious woman has recently
contrived cleaning glove and sleeve
protector which will be found OF prac-
teal value to housekeepers. It con.
sists of fingerless wash-leather
glove, with loose sleeve sewed on
at the wrist, which Is gathered at the
end and elastic sewed inside, so that
the hand and arm may be slipped into
it, and the sleeve then pulled up over
the blouse sleeve wrist.
For cutting out the glove. a simple
plan is to place hand upon the wash
leather and draw line around It.,
allowing about half an inch In every
direction, so that the glove, when
finished, shall not fit too tightly For
the sleeve any remnant of soft. light
material may be use. The glove will
not only prevent the hand from be
coming soiled, but will also protect
the sleeve from the wrist to above the
elbow.
