Frozen Ginger Pudding.

A pudding served in the German
household is a frozen ginger pudding.
This Is made by making a custard of
n quart of milk and three well beat
IN eggs and three tablespoonfuls of
sugar. This is put into the refrigera-
tor until thoroughly cooled and then
one quart of whipped cream favored
with a few drops Of vanilla is added,
together with one-half pint Of pre-.
served ginger and one-half pint of the
syrup in which it is preserved. The
ginger should be sliced very thin or
chopped fine. Pour the whole into q
freezer and when about half frozen
add three-eighths of a pound of al
mond macaroons which have been
rolled fine and a little candied orange
peel. Freeze this until 1t is firm and
creamy. This is very delicious, and
some people add a cupful of orange
pulp cut into small pieces.

Hints For Travellers.

When q man serves as a woman's
escort on a railway train he should
buy her ticket, see that her luggage
IS checked, carry her bag, etc, or pay
a porter to do SO, and see that she is
comfortably seated. II the journey is
q fairly long one and the ticket cost a
few dollars or more, the woman should
pay for the ticket, but if it is only a
short trip and the cost Of the ticket is
comparatively small the man should
pay for everything. If but one meal is
taken in the dining car the man may
act as host, but when the journey is a
long one the woman should, of course,
pay for her own meals.
When a long journey of some days
is taken, a mar will frequently find
that he can serve in many little ways

alone. This is perfectly proper if it is
done with dignity. But during a run

The Ideal Guest.

When visiting friends or relatives a
guest should adapt herself as well as
possible to her new environment and
bring 10 Earring note or undue disturb
ance into the family circle. There are
so many little attentions that can bring
comfort and joy into a household If
n hostess feels that her guest needs
constant entertaining and amusement
and special service she will o wish
to repeat her invitation so soon again.
Of course no one needs to be re-
minded that an invitation to spend a
few days or a few weeks under an
others roof is a greatcompliment, and
that it is the duty of the guest to dc
all that he or she can to show ap
probation of the fact by entering int
all of the festivities with enthusiasm
and interest. At the same time one
must be careful to give as little trouble
as possible, especially in a house where
only one maid is employed For the
time being the guest is a member of
the family.

PREPARING GRAPEFRUIT.

Take special pains In preparing
grape fruit for the breakfast table at
this time of the year. To begin with,
take care IN selecting the fruit, which,
to be good, should be heavy, firm and
thin skinned. Dark spots on the u
face are said to denote a superior fruit.
To make 1t especially tempting serve
with clean, finely chopped ice. Partly
fill with the ice one of the long stem
med grape fruit glasses, or, If you do
not possess these glasses, any dainty
glass bowl will do. Then place on this
bed of ice a glass cup filed with grape
fruit pulp. If you choose to serve the
grape fruit sweetened, prepare it sew
eral hours before serving to give the
sugar and fruit time to assimilate.

That is a sentence which not only the a. who wants to rise above

Our late lamented OHenry has a witty little story about two men

voice that sounded like a leak dripping in a tin dishpan att the head of

Like many Of OHenrys tales, this ne has a kernel of suggestion

Cf course we can't all have silver tongues, but we a all have
listen to them. I don't mean to sit down and talk so as to hear our W
voices. We wouldn't really get any idea of them that way. The way to
hear ones voice a it naturally is, is to suddenly listen to it in the midst
of a conversation and compare it with other peoples.
Do we speak too loud?
Do we talk always In n Or two mondonous keys and hi lose h

Do we talk too rapidly?
Do we pitch voices from u heads o throats instead of from

The Duties of Fest Man.

"Does the best man have the we'd
ding ring and when does he hand it
over?' The best man has charge OF
the ring and usually places it in e
pocket of his waistcoat. According to
the ritual of the Episcopal church, the
ceremony of placing it on the brides
finger follows the plighting of the
troth. After the bride and groom
have both repeated this after the min
lister the book of ommOn prayer pre-
scribes that they shah again 'loose
their hands, and the man shall give
unto the woman a ring"
The best man should therefore give
it to the groom at this juncture. In
churches which do not have a printed
ritual the minister would indicate the
proper moment.
1t is proper to send a present to the
bride at any time after the day Of the
wedding has beer set and made known
to the friends.
