BOOKS AND AUTHORS
Current Talk Of Things Present
and TO Come,

The late Professor Edward Arber
who was killed by a taxicab a fort
night ago. may be said to have been
the founder Of excellent cheap reprints
His work in printing or reprintlng rare
and often almost inaccessible manu-
scripts. books and tracts will long be
remembered. It Is said that he, SIN
gle handed copied from the great
"Stationers' Register all the entries
relating to all the books printed and
published IN London from the middle
Of the sixteenth century to 1912. The
British Museum paid $500 for his copy.
On Walter Eaters Style.
The recently published notebooks OF
Samuel Butler. the author OF "Erew-
hon." contain severe Characterization
Of the style-beloved by all the Bun
thornes-of the pernicketty Walter
Pater. Mr.. Walter Pater's style"
says the sturdy Butler, "is, to me. like
the face OF some old woman who has
been 10 Nine. Rachel and had herseiI
enamelled. The bloom Is nothing but
powder and paint and the odor Is
cherry blossom" Butler thought,
wisely enough, that a mans style
should be like his dress-it should at
tract as little attention as possible.
Perhaps ne goes rather far when he
says that ne never knew a writer who
took the smallest pains with his style
and was at the came time readable"
but, OF course. II was OF the natural gift
which transcends manufactured graces
that he was thinking. He held that a
man Ought 10 take great deal OF
pains 10 write clearly, tersely and
euphemistically."

Professor skeat strongly held the
opinion that the cockney dialect would

been dying out Of late and that Mr.
Weller's substitution Of "v' for W.

"a say. the cockney twang Is steadily
growing, spreading into the rural dis
trIcts and affecting people who might
be expected to use pure English. The
cockney "twang' is matter OF pro-
nunciation and accumulation. Pure
English we may add. is spoken with
few differences by Americans and
Englishmen whose culture Is fine and

The fame OF the double dealing dip.

humble realm of the kitchen and has
given It's name to the royal diplomat
ic pudding" which requires double
dealing of a very intricate sort to
make It a success. Like the schemes
OF the willy diplomat ii will fail com

care. The pudding is sometimes re-
ferred to as a Jelly au surprise" be
cause when II is sent to the table its
coating of jelly conceals its real char
acter until It is opened. betraying the
delightful surprise within. The main
difference between the pudding and
the diplomatic scheme is that the sur
prise in the former is always pleasant,
while in the latter the contrary is like
ly to be the case.
A delectable Bavarian cream, or a
custard with whipped cream beaten
into 1t. usually forms the foundation
of the pudding, and the jelly coating,
while It should completely cover the
interior, should be semi-transparent,
permitting glimpses of something hid
den-just enough to arouse curiosity
and whet the appetite. If there is a
pretty contrast of color between the
cream and the jelly, so much the bet.

A royal diplomatic pudding should
always be prettily decorated with can

gelica make an appropriate decoration
for rose cream covered with a
delicate green mint jelly. Maraschino
cherries should, of course, accompany
a maraschino jelly The Strawberries
in their season are better with a
strawberry jelly than ordinary candied
fruit. A decoration of blanched al
monds in the form of a daisy with a
bit of yellow apricot or candied orange
peel in the center, looks pretty when
imbedded in the top of an almond
Bavarian cream, covered with coffee

Whipped cream is the ideal sauce
to serve with these desserts, but some
cooks recommend soft custard sauce.

used to flavor the whipped cream in
some cases.

1t is something of a nuisance to lift
and lower the head of a machine
every time one wishes to begin or
quit sewing. At the same time, 1t is
very injurious to the machine to allow
it to stand uncovered for any length
of time. A very good plan is to make
padded hood, or cover, of some soft
material and put this over the ma
chine when it is to stand idle for but
short time. This hood may be
shaped very much like a typewrite,

TREATMENT OF FLOORS
HINTS THAT THE HoUsEKEEPER
WILL FIND HELPFUL.
White sheIIac Followed by Wax Polish
Best for Parquet Floors-oId
Floors Stained to
Match Rugs.


Even in new houses where hard
wood floors are fresh and clean, some
of the rooms will look better stained.
For a parquet floor there is no bet
ter finish than to first fill with
coat of white shellac and then apply
wax evenly with a cloth, Let the
wax remain on several hours before
rubbing down to a high polish with
the weighted brush that comes for
this purpose. With this simple finish
the floors are easily kept bright by
being rubbed with the weight once
week and being busted daily with
an ordinary broom over which a
wooden cloth is tied.
Old floors may be stained to match
the rugs SO easily that one wonder
why it is not often done. Purchase
a package of dye the tint you want
your floor, or you can get seal brown,
which will resemble walnut when
done, or light brown, which gives a
handsome shade Dissolve in boiling
water as directed on the envelope and
apply with a scrubbing or a white
wash brush When perfectly dry this
may be vanished This finish may
also be used on homemade furni-
ture and on woodwork that has never
been painted
Very often stains made at home
are more satisfactory than those al
ready mixed; pound of dry color
costs in the neighborhood of ten
cents, and this mixed with two
quarts of turpentine will give beau
tiful stains Of any desired color.
Burnt sienna mixed with turpentine
and applied to the floors with coarse
brush and then wiped off with rag
before it is entirely dry gives a beau
tiful mahogany stain, and the grain
of the wood shows through beauti-
fully.
Raw sienna also gives transparent
stain with a fine sunny yellow or
orange effect, according to how much
turpentine is used to dilute it with. 1t
is a good color for halls, as it does
not show the print of dust so plainly
as darker stains do.
Prussian blue is a powerful stain
with great possibilities. Two or three
tablespoons of the dry color will be
sufficient for half gallon of turpen-
tine. On a yellow pine floor it gives
green and blue shades that blend
with blue hangings.
To keep a fine gloss on vanished
floors do not wash with soapsuds, but
sprinkle with dairy salt or coarse salt.
Allow it to remain on five minutes and
then sweep off with soft broom.
When you must wash painted or
vanished floors, put a little kero-
sene in the water. This will give a
gloss.
Kitchen floors should never be COW
cred with carpet for dozens of rea-
sons that all good housekeepers know
Linoleum is an ideal covering. If it
is out of the question several coats
of good inside paint will be found
next best. Strips of carpet and rag
rugs prevent the paint wearing off
and soften the uncovered floor to
tired feet.-Henrietta D. Grauel

The Darnlna Basket.

When the weekly wash comes up
from the laundry take the clothes that
need mending and find patches of the
material, yarn to darn with, or what.
ever is necessary to mend with, and
pin the pieces to the articles to be
mended; then put them aside in a
drawer or sewing bag until you have
time to sit down quietly and sew. Hav.
ing everything ready, you will be sur.
prised at the amount you can do at
one sitting. BY this method the
weekly mending loses half of its ter
rors for the busy housekeeper.

Bread and Butter Pudding.

Cut stale bread into slices, dip in
melted butter and arrange in a small
baking pan-a slice of the bread to
layer of raisins which have been
carefully washed and seeded. When
the pan is full pour over it mixture
made of one pint of milk, the yolks of
two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of
white sugar. Bake in a moderate
oven for half an hour. When baked
whip to a stiff froth the whites of the
eggs and pour over the custard, re-
turn to the oven for an instant until
slightly Drowned. Serve with whipped
cream or brandy sauce.
