LOSES HOPE

hold Of those who still retain loyalty
to a king Of France is found among
the a%ristocracy. but even there the
sentiment is not nearly as strong as IT
was a decade or even FIVE years ago.
The Catholic church has always been
royaiist In its tendencies, but since
the separation OF church and state this
influence Is not as fa~r-reaching as #
was.
Many officers in the French army
and perhaps the majority Of those
holding highest rank in the navy be-
long to the old nobility OF a~ristocracy,
but the new generation Is quickly
crowding these representatives OF the
ancient life OF France into the back
ground. In spite Of the Socialists ef-
forts to decry militarism. the army is
intensely loyal to the republic.
In a word. the old ghost. the restora-
tion Of the monarchy, seems to be laid
definitely. Therefore the letter Of the
Duke CT Orleans. completely changing
his past plans, awakens interest only
among his few followers.

often the word simple does not Inn
ply inexpensive, as a simple gown may
be one Of much cost; a simple dish
may be Of few ingredients yet quite
expensive. The following Is both
cheap and simple when eggs are
plenty:
Sponge Puddlng-Stir a third Of a
cup Of -four into a cup Of milk until
smooth. Set IN boiling water and
cook When cool add a half teaspoon
Of melted butter and the yolks of three
eggs well beaten. with a fourth OF a
cup Of sugar. Cut and fold in the
whites of the eggs beaten stif and
after f~avoring to taste set In a pan Of
water and bake twenty minutes. Serve
with hard sauce. Prepare the sauce
by Dreaming four tablespoonfuls Of
butter and add a half cup Of sugar
and a te%aspoonful Of boiling water
flavor with grated nutmeg and chill
before serving. Powdered sugar makes
the sauce more smooth and creamy
cavendlsh Puddlng-Put a cup Of
stale bread crumbs to soak in a pint
Of cold milk, let stand for half an
hour. Beat two eggs slightly, put in
a layer Of bread crumbs in a creased
mold. then some fried fruit and bits
Of butter; mix a half cup Of sugar and
some Of the milk and the eggs with a
little fayoring and pour over, steam
one and a half hours. Serve with any
desired liquid auce. Lemon is par
ticularly good.
Fig cups.-This is a most delicious
dessert and sounds e~xtrayagant, but
will not prove SO. Take a half a
pound Of pulled figs, steam them until
tender IN a sieve over water; cut a
small opening in the side and I'LL with
chopped sailed almonds. Prepare a
sauce Of a half cup Of orange juice, a
tablespoonful Of lemon juice and a
half cup Of sugar; when hot drop In
the figs and simmer until thoroughly
cooked. Serve cold with unsweetened
whipped cream
When serving hot ginger bread for
dessert, apple is a fine accom-
paniment, or seasoned cream cheese
! mixed with a little grated rich AmeTi-
can cheese and nodded in green pep
pers, then when well chilled slice in
small slices and serve with the gin
ger bread or with crackers and coffee

"Pretender" Changes Plans in
Attempt TO Form Monarchy.
Royallst Leader Attempts to Recon
eile Few Warning FolIowers-Aop-
ulace Care Nothing for Rcstor-
alton Of Throne.

Paris.-The royalists, who are al
ways fervent in France. although their
political influence ceased to be Inn
portant long ago. were surprised and
rather dismayed to receive from the
Duke Of Orleans an order that be will
have no direct representative in
France hereafter.
The Duke Of Orleans. the royaiist
pretcnder to the French throne, Of
course, who Is an exile In England,
writes an open letter in which he ex-
pressly says That any one assuming
to be his personal representative win
do so without authority.
In this way the duke hopes to end
the discord which began several
months ago after he changed his rep.
resentative here. on the one side Is
the newspaper known as Action Fran
caise, Of which Leon Daudet is head;
on the other are individuals who OPP
pose the militant methods OF this news
paper.
In his letter the Duke Of Orleans
says he has undertaken TO reorganize
his followers in an effort TO decentral-
ize the royalist movement. as he has
always been opposed to Capitalization.
The political bureau is suppressed,
but delegates win be appointed who.
by means Of committees, will carry on
the royalist campaign.
AS a matter of fact the cause Of the
Orleanists. the most important branch
Of royalism in France. has shrunk to
a mere shadow. Tourists. particularly
Americans. visiting France. are prone
to discuss the possibility Of the mon
archy some day replacing the present
republic. But these discussions spring
more from romantic speculation than
from ar knowledge Of the situation
The French republic was never
stronger, more solidly placed on its
foundations than at this moment The
royalists proclaim themselves openly

The pig is usually stuffed with a

The mouth is fastened open with a
piece Of wood or a cob, and when It,
is served the traditional apple Is used
in its place. The ears are protected
with buttered paper while II is roast

hot. and basting often improves the
roast The time for roasting is about
three hours.
