here from a fire which, starting in
an old opera house near the center

night whether the many persons
missing are killed. Temporary
camps have been established on the
outskirts of the burning city and
thousands of homeless and injured

CHICAGO, April 23.-Property
loss amounting into the millions is
the estimate placed tonight on the
damage wrought by the the un-
precedented April blizzard which
ragged in Chicago and the surround
ing territory today. Dispatches re-
ceived tonight indicate that the
fruit belts of northern Indiana,
western Michigan. Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin
have been devastated by the fast
moving storm, and fears are felt
that much fruit has been ruined
The fruit crop of southern Mich
igan will suffer greatly" said Fore
caster Cox today, las the very cen
ter of the blizzard Is in the lower
peninsula of that state. The peach
crop Is blighted, | believe, for the
blizzard coming right after the alb
normally warm March will play
havoc with the vegetation"
The most spectacular feature of
the storm was the Bleaching in
Lake Michigan of the big passenger
steamer iowa, OH kaClne, WIS,
early today. The boat went
aground when she broke propel-
Ter during the gale which swept
the lake last night.
None of the passengers sustain
ed any injuries. 1t was said they
put in an awful time" though,
and at times feared they would
freeze to death in the icy blasts
that swept the lake from the north.
A number of other passenger boats
were buffeted by the storm today
but escaped into port without dam
age.
The storm died down in Chicago
early this afternoons although light
snow flurries continued.

An eminent medical man once as
serted that inince pies were harmless
II properly made and without suet, and
plum pudding lost most of it's terrors
when this Objectionable ingredient was
left out. 1t might be worth while for
persons who find it impossible to eat
of these dishes to have them prepared
without suet. and see IL the omission
made any difference. 1t is quite as
easy to use butter as suet, and the
flavor OF the dish is much improved
thereby. An excellent pudding with
fruit may be made of one-fourth of a
pound of butter. one-fourth of a pound
each of seeded raisins. shredded citron
and currants we'll cleaned. Add to the
prepared fruit half of a cup of sugar,
three-fourths of a cup of milk, n a

Then stir in -four enough to make q

ding, and steam it three or four hours

were looking to the west over the

people, tinkling with bells of cab

She would have preferred her haunt

Soon after 5 she rose and dressed.
This was Sunday, her busiest day, she
must be in Notre Dame for the early
masses. There was a worn place in a
chasuble that needed some touches of
her needle; Father Anselm had asked
her to see to it. And this duty done.
there was the special Sunday sale OF
candles and ~rosaries and little red
g~uide-books Of the church to keep her
busy.
Alice was in the midst of all this
when, shortly before 10, Mother Bonnie

a visitor, a lady of striking beauty
whose dress and general air proclaimed
a lavish purse. In a first glance Alice
noticed her exquisite supple figure and

To Make Cheese StraWs.
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you please give ms a recipe for
cheese straws. I think they ought
to be crisp, don't you? / have tried
several times to make them. but they
always turn out soft. COOK.
You are quite right; everyone likes
them when they are crisp and well
made. You will find this a good recipe:
Crate two ounces of Parmesan or Ched-
dar cheese, rub two ounces Of butter in
to two ounces of flour; add the cheese,
some cayenne and salt to taste. Mix
this with the yolk of an egg, roll 1t out
and cut it into strips. Egg it over, bake
it in a quick oven. Serve the straws
very hot, nicely arranged criss-cross on
a dish. Mustard to be handed round
with them.
