delightful surprise within. The MAN
difference between the pudding ana
the diplomatic scheme Is that the sur
prise in the former Is always pleasant
while in the latter the contrary ID Ike
ly to be the case.
A delectable Bavarian cream, or a
custard with whipped cream beaten
into 1t, usually forms the founoatlon
of the pudding, and the jelly coating
while 1t should completely cover the
interior, should be semi-transparent'
permitting glimpses of something MO
den-just enough to arouse curiosity
and whet the appetite. If there is a
pretty contrast of color between tne
cream and the jelly, so much the pet-
ter.
A royal diplomatic pudding should
always be prettily decorated with can
died fruits, rose petals, angelica ana
so forth. Candied rose leaves and an
gelica make an appropriate decoration
for a rose cream covered with g.
delicate green mint jelly. Marasch1no
cherries should, of course, accompany
a maraschino jelly. The strawberries
In their season are better with q
strawberry jelly than ordinary candlea
fruit. A decoration Of blanched al
monds in the form Of daisy with a
bit of yellow apricot or candied orange
peel In the center, looks pretty when
imbedded in the top of an almond
Bayarian cream, covered with coffee
Jelly or one favored with wine.
Whipped cream is the ideal sauce
to serve with these desserts, but some
cooks recommend a soft custard sauce.
A little sweetened fruit juice may be
used to flavor the whipped cream IN
some cases.
A novice In the art of making gel
atine jellies will do we'll to reserve her
attempts at building diplomatic pub
dings for those days when only her
immediate family will be at dinner. A
failure of this kind, unless It Is very
much of failure, usually tastes just
as good as a success. but 1t does not
look pretty.

MEN BEHIND THE COUNTER
Retail Clerk a Most important Factor
In Merchandising World-Quailfi'
cations He Needs.

Reams and reams of stuff have been
written about the qualifications OF
man in most every trade and profess
sion, but when we get right down to
cases the same qualities that make
successful clerk would make q sue
cessful man In any line.
/ have read with much amusement
articles on the clerks department and
things of that sort by men who have
built up successful mercantile busl'
nesses, and they tell how the clerks
should always be neat and clean, I'm
ger nails trimmed. voice modulated,
and give advice Of that nature In
large doses.
| believe that any human being
| who amounts to much, no matter how
he earns his living. has enough SELF
respect and pride to care for his per-
sonal appearance. The two Qualihca-
| tons most necessary to success are,
Of course, knowing what to do and
how to do 1t. While service must be
the watchword Of every business,
whether 1t be manufacturing or mer-
camille. do not know of any man who
must carry out the word Service" to
Its fullest extent more than the re-
| tail clerk.
/ believe that craftsmanship over the
counter calls for just as high an order
of salesmanship as salesmanship on
the road, and in my experience behind
the retail counter made 1t point to
| study the character and likes and dis
likes Of all the regular customers, so
as to make them permanent custom.
ers. and to do the same with the
chance customers so as to make them
regular customers.
To go on In an abstract way mamma
the different qualities. specifying them
as courage, perseverance, etc.. which
a clerk should have Is simply to
enumerate the qualities which are nec-
essary to make any man success.
/ believe that 1t Is the time that
ensues between waiting on customers
that works most damage in retail
store. The clerk should keep himself
occupied during that time in keeping
his stock In shape and figuring out
little schemes for displaying the
goods and talking them. 80 that when
he goes to bat the next time q GUS
toner comes to his counter he isn't
thinking of matters foreign to the
business.
If the clerk has any ambition at all.
and he isn't much Of clerk unless he
does have, he desires to become the
| proprietor of the store himself, or to
become travelling salesman. 1t
doesn't make any difference which de-
sire he has. the means to the end are
the same-to study his employers
business as If 1t were his own, to
know all the why of everything, the
buying, the accounting, as well as the
selling.
] believe that every retail clerk will
take renewed interest in his work If
he will think Of his work not as sim.
ply the handing of something across
the counter. but as work which Is the
most vital and most important In the
business world.
Practically al the products Of the
world are eventually sold across the
counter by the retail clerk. and to
just the degree that he studies his
work and it's significance will he be-
come factor In the mercantile world.

Cover for the Machine.

It Is something Of 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
a padded hood, or cover. Of some soft
material and put this over the ma
chine when it Is to stand idle for but
a short time. This hood may be
shaped very much like a typewriter

The ideal summer salad has three
