Social Side of the Journey

When marine architects began SUI
proposing deck upon deck and the
first cabin accommodation of a ship
stretched to 200 and 800. and then to
600. and accommodations became so
luxurious that one could pay $1,000 or
more for a trip across the Atlantic
the figure has now grown to some
thing like s5,o00-it became impractic-
able to know everybody. In a ship
Of the size of a modern liner there are
now so many places where passen-
ger may go other than his stateroom
that II he wants to be exclusive he
can readily accomplish his desire.
On the Titanic he could have had
even private promenade deck all to
himself On the Olympic you have
the choice Of four decks for your stroll
and il anybody is looking for you he
may have to visit the main dining
room, the restaurant. the tearoom, the
gymnasium. the two open air cafea
and the big companionways on the va
rious decks before he finds you. There
was time when besides the one
promenade deck one had to 60 only
to the smoking room or the dining
room or perhaps the writing room to
find some one else.
One result of the increased size of
the ship and of her passenger list is
that nowadays you can cross the ocean
without making single acquaintance,
and there are really some who con-
slider this an advantage.

Improves Meats of all Sorts

A beet salad goes well with the
highly seasoned meat-much better
than cold slaw, though that win serve
at a pinch. Fresh cucumbers, sliced
thin, and seasoned only with salt and
vinegar, are best of all.
Boiled batter pudding goes finely
with such savory meat and its vege-
table complement. To make 1t, take
for each person who is to eat of 1t
fresh egg, level tablespoonful of -four
and half cup of milk Beat the egg
yolks very light. adding to them alter
nately the -four, with a little baking
powder sifted through 1t, and the
milk, taking care to mix very smooth.
Beat the egg whites very stiff and
melt a level spoonful Of butter for
each three eggs in the pudding. Beat
in the melted butter-it must not be
hot, only warm enough = run-then
add raisins and citron, in the proper
ton Of cupful for every two eggs.
The raisins must be seeded, the citron
finely shredded. and both well Toured.
Beat item in well, but quickly, then
add the whites Of eggs. Fold rather
than beat them In. and TOUR the pud-
ding into either a well creased bag
or mold lined with well creased pa
per bag paper. Set either mold or
bag inside another bigger bag, pour
In enough water to come half way
up the side, seal. and cook in q very
hot oven seven minutes, then In q
moderate one for three-quar.ers Of an
hour. Be careful to leave room In
the bag; the pudding rises lot II it
is made right. Serve in the mold, cut
1t with very hot knife or spoon, and
serve with rich sweet wine or lemon
sauce. Before putting in water, be
sure that the outer bag Is water-tight
all up and down the seam. You can,
II you like, make bag mold for the
pudding. but the paper bag, tied tight
at the mouth. is rather more trust.

Is savory meat--no matter what

Il will be a greater delight than ever.
Suppose you want an approach to
barbecued lamb-as near an approach

and tender, and have the rib ends cut
very short and all the angles Of the
backbone carefully removed. Wash
It quickly, wipe dry with a damp

longer. Take up and open the bag,
but only q little way on top. Then
pour carefully into 1t sauce made
thus: Boil soft in little water half a
dozen pods Of cayenne pepper, mash
in the liquor, remove strings, add half
a cup Of butter, half cup Of very
strong vinegar, half a teaspoonful OF
salt, a dash of Worcester sauce and a
saltspoon of ground black pepper.

putting on about half. Set the bag
back in the oven after cuttins away

full and cook for Eve minutes longer.
Take up the meat on hot platter,
pour the bag gravy over 1t. and serve
what remains Of the pepper mixture
in q separate boat. The meat roasted
thus without seasoning + tender and
juicy and ready to take fiavors from
the gravy and the sauce.
Serve with 1t potatoes-both sorts
baked In their jackets. using very
little water In the bags with them SO

ter makes white potatoes waxy or
heavy. and gives to sweet potatoes a
pale flavor not desirable. The secret
of paper bag cooking. as Of all other
cooking, is learning the difference be-
tween enough and either too much
or too little. Serve also with the
meat either turnips cooked in bag
or carrots or spinach

DEFEATED, BUT HAPPY.
Herbert Knox Smith Says Progress sives Accomplished Things It
 Proposed To Do.

Hartford. Nov. 7.-Herbert Knox Smith, candidate for governor on the Progressive party ticket, has made the following statement: s"rhe Pro gressive party has accomplished the
 main things that it proposed to do at this election. In the nation it has, as I said we would, made the Republican party a bad third and nothing but a shell of it now remains. In the state, the state ticket, wholly apart from the presidential ticket received 8, vote of 30, 1000, only 3, 1000 below the presiden- tiaI ticket This esta tabIishes the fact that there are 30, O,000 straight Progress sive votes at least in Connecticut. which gives the balance of power tabIfshes it securely for the future. This has been done in only three months with no funds. no machinery and in one of sthe most conservative states in the union. The Progressive fight in this state is won. Its ultimate control of the state is simply a ques- ton of time.

A HINT FOR SCHOOL BoYs.

Yakima schoolboys earned more than SIS, ,000 during summer yaca- tions. That is a good showing, and it is an example which might be emu lated with profit in other communi- ties of the state.
 There is no reason why sch aoo1boys should waste their vacation periods. They will find more profit in engagin g in useful service. Besides, such ex- periences have an educational value. It is so much capital stored up for future use. Of course boys want to play; they have a right to play; play by mixing a little work with play, just as the more than 715 boys of the Yakima schools mixed it during their vacation.
 It means something for 700 pupils to earn $16, 900 during tE1e school va cation It is really a fine and credf itable showing for choolboys.-Seattfe Post-Intell lligencer

PRAISE FOR THE RAILROADS

Within the past de- cade these efforts have been extend ed to include instructions in the meth ods of farming, investigation of the farming possibilities of a region, as- sisting in organizing agricultural as- sociations, cooperation with state and county officers. employment of labor and aid in finding markets for the also engaged in similar work.
 More than tnree-fourtias of the rafl- road mileage of the United States is operated by comp mpanies. which engage ture This promotion work by rail- roads is a businss matter.

OWNERSHIP OF THE ELEVATED

The 18th annual report of the di- rec of the Boston elevated is con cerned with a good many questions of importance, but one part of the re- is that part which treats of the own erslnip of the stock of the road. It appears that the number of shares of stock, outstanding at the present lime. is 199,5o0. This stock is held by 1928 persons. Of these. 4314 live in the state of Massa chusetts and hold betWeen them, 178,159 shares On this showing, just less than 90 per cent. of the stock is held by persons who live in the state It is well that this is so. Absentee ownership is becon1ine one of the problems of Am eriea. It is encouraging to know that fbere is no such problem in the case of the elevated road.-Boston Adver- tiser.
