THE SPLENDID WORK OF
THE ANTHONY LEAGUE

Of the Juvenile Court; Mr.. Charles T.
Nesbitt, Mrs. Anne Jenness Miller, Mrs.
Rachel Tongate Beck, and others. Dur
ing the season Senator John d. Works
will speak on Equal Suffrage, the Hope
Of the Race" and Mr.. Judson King, Sec
retary of the Popular Government
League, will enlighten the members on
the principles of popular government.
y debate upon the question of suffrage
for the District Of Columbia will be held
In the rooms Of the Chamber Of Com
merce during the month OF January.
There will be three speakers; one will
present the affirmative side OF the ques-
ton; one the negative, and the third
will make an appeal for q qualified suf-
frage. Speakers Of prominence are
promised.
This list Of subjects presented in class
and by the more formal lecture, would
seem to be enough for q society no older
than the Anthony League. But no, II
has still another avenue for acquiring in
formation and Of giving out inspiration.
For, let II be known, this club does
not exist for the selfish pleasure of
merely gathering in knowledge. It keeps
the balance even by giving out as much
as it takes in. All teachers give Of their
time and instruction freely. All the work
done Is given in the spirit of its motto:
Loyalty, Reciprocity, Unity, and Co.
operation" Thus is the true system
inaugurated among women. There
are many men who consider them
selves honored, and fortunate, too, in
being admitted to membership and per-
mitted to cooperate with a band OF
such enterprising and serious-minded
women.
An "at home" was instituted on
Tuesday afternoon. in order to develop
the social side; butto- spend an en-
tire afternoon without a lecture or a
talk was soon found to be impossible.
and so an informal talk is always
scheduled for that afternoon But

In the latter part Of the same year
Queen Anne offered a prize Of two
grineas for the best plum pudding recipe
and out of 500 answers she awarded the
rrize to the one sending the following:
One pound Of raisins, one pound of
suet chopped fine, three-quarters pound
OF stale bread crumbs, one-quarter
pound Of -four, one pound Of currants,
one-haf Of nutmeg grated, fve eggs,
one-half pint OF brandy, one-half pound
OF minced candied orange peel Clean,
wash, and dry the currants, stone the
raisins, mix all dry ingredients well to-
Gether. Beat the eggs, add to them the
brandy. then pour them over the dry in.
gradients and thoroughly mix. Pack into
creased small kettles or molds (this will
make about six pJunds) and boil six
hours at the time Of making and six
hours when wanted for use. Serve with
hard or brandy sauce.
1hc uuInDeT OF answers Ine queen re-
ceived proves that such a dish was fairly
well known throughout England at that
time. As such news did not travel as
fast then as with the modern system, il
Is safe to estimate that the plum pud-
ding was served in England at least $50
years previous
But even with a eo0-year-old recipe be-
fore US we fnd II as q whole much the
same as those In use today. The slight
changes found in the modern recipes are
due IN some respects TO the high cost Of
the ingredients. These changes were
made in order that all classes might en-

There are some. / know, who believe

true, and for the short woman stripes
