in their singing. College glee clubs are
not expected to rival minstrel companies

Instead of using hot cloths or steam
to get the face into condition for mas

charged with electricity. The water is
applied through a spongelike substance

pipes The advocates of this method

The Variety of Fudge

! ITO most people fudge means choco-
late, but there are various other
materials from which the delicious
sweet can be manufactured. The fol-
lowing fudge recipes have all been
well tested:
Maple Sugar F>udge-One pound of
maple sugar, one pint Of cream, few
drops of vanilla, a small lump of but
| ter.
Break the sugar into small pieces,
| add cream and let 1T cook until it
forms a soft ball in water or sugars
on the edge of the pan. Stir con-
stantly. Pour thickly into buttered
tins after beating lightly on removal
chopped butternuts.
Brown Sugar Fudge.-A pound of
| brown sugar "a medium shade of brown
is the best), a cupful OF rich milk. Jump
OF butter size of an egg, teaspoonful of
vanilla Cook the mixture until 1t
forms soft ball in water, beat hard
and pour until an inch thick in butter
| ed pans This fudge is also good with
nuts in it, and a tablespoonful of mo-
lasses Is thought by some cooks to i'm
| prove 1t.
Plain Fudge-A half pound of I'M
/ sweetened chocolate, two kitchen cup
fuls of granulated sugar. three-Quarters
of a cupful OF cream or milk, piece of
butter size of an egg, teaspoonful of
vanilla. Crate chocolate or melt 1t

TO AMUsE GUESTS.

A simple way to amuse guests is to
divide the party into two sides and
choose a leader. who stands in the
middle and losses a cap. II it falls
right side up the people on one side
laugh as heartily as they can.
Any one on the other side seen to
smile has to join the laughing side.
When the cap falls wrong side up the
other sides turn 1t is to laugh and
win the people over. The game usually
ends in a roar Of laughter and breaks
the ice of formality.
The A B c race is another simple
uproarious game. Six girls have old
fashioned school states and six men
have slate pencils. Partners are chosen
beforehand. A signal is given the men,
who stand ranged at one end of the
room, who rush to their partners at
the other end, and each. endeavors to
write the alphabet on the slate held
out to him before any one else accom-
plishes the task. Another six contest
until all have tried. Those winning the
races get the prizes.
