Apple Filling for Cake

I'm the recipe for four egg Angel
cake which appeared a short time ago
under the signature Kindness of l.. w.
p. should not cream of tartar or bak-
ing powder be added? Neither was
called for, which, l Judge, was an unin-
territorial omission. A. II. requested
recipe for the following cake filing,
which she had mislaid: Boil together
one egg beaten well, the grated rind and
juice of one lemon, a cup of sugar, and
three-fourths of a cup of grated apple.
When thick take from the fire and
spread on the cake layers, or CRATE one
small tart apple and add 1t to the white
of an egg and one tablespoonful of
lemon juice. Begin beating vigorously,
adding powdered sugar gradually, until
the paste is thick enough to spread.

REGIME for Banana Butter

Here are some helps you may care
for. The first is a recipe for banana but

mash well, add one-half pound of but
ter, one-half pound castor sugar, and
two fresh eggs. Beat all together 10
pulp, place in double saucepan, and
stir occasionally until the mixture boils.
Set aside to cool. 1t is very good TO
renovate old silver, mix well together
until you have a nice paste, about 5
or 10 cents worth of mercury with some
powdered chalk and sufficient water. Ruo
on the tarnished silver with a piece OF
chamois, and the article Will look as If

| suppose the banana butter for which
you give a recipe can be used as filling
for layer cake. 1t would perhaps have
the advantage over the raw banana fill
ing of not turning dark with exposure

speaking of "old silver whether the
method you advise can be used with
safety on plated ware. May suggest
that the housewife who contemplates ex-
perimenting with this prescription con-
suit first a silversmith as to its perma-

upon some bit of plate which she does

Gray Hair Banished
It Can Be Nicely Darkened BY
a Simple Home Made
Preparation :.

A very simple preparation to darken
gray hair, which can be made In your
own house at very little expense is
made from one ounce of bay rum,
quarter ounce of glycerine and
small box of Barbo Compound. These
ingredients can be procured at any
drug store. You dissolve the Barbo
Compound in ounces of water then
add the other two ingredients, apply
ing it once a week untif the hair is
darkened and then every two weeks
to preserve the color and keep the
scalp healthy. 1t is an excellent rem
edy for dandruff and other scalp dis
orders and keeps the hair soft and
glossy Unlike many store prepara-
tions, 1t does not rub off, make the
hair sticky or color the scalp. 1t gives
the hair a natural young look" and
there is really no occasion TO have
gray hair when this preparation can
be so easily made. Insist on your
druggist giving you Barbo Compound.
for there's no other ingredient that
takes it place in this mixture. He

The marriage of Miss Rosalie Joseph
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. v
Joseph, and Mr.. Edgar Leventritt of
New York was the final brilliant event of
a day that was exceptionally busy from
social standpoint A large reception at
the Phoenix club followed the marriage
ceremony, at which the guests were linn
tied. The assembly witnessing the vows
and attending the ensuing reception was
most representative.
The Phoenix club is a beautiful place for
a festivity of any type. The ballroom with
its balcony in the rear is easily convert
ed into a temple like place, and with a
rostrum and altar becomes beautiful
place for nuptia1 ceremony. The formal
rooms are beautifully decorated, and with
the addition of flowers and foliage become
more than ever lovely.
Last night an abundance of greenery
adorned the improvised temple. The
beams which cross from side to side of
the room were wrapped with smilax, and
among the candles at the altar were clus-
ters of pink sweet peas and lilies. Drap-
cries of tulle were used at this place as
we'll as on the pews, and tall standards of
roses and lilies and branches of wood
land flowers made the floral background
typical of spring.
Only the family circle and immediate
friends witnessed the ceremony, which
was beautifully solemnlzed. The music
was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. William
Gussen at pinno and organ. Miss Joseph
was attended by two matrons of honor,
her aunt, Mrs. Henry Bernard, and Mrs.
Irving Vorenberg enid Marx), whose
maid of honor she was at another bril-
liant wedding two years ago at the
Phoenix club.
At $50 o'clock the bridal procession en-
tered the doors of the ballroom and began
the slow descent TO the altar. Mrs. Ber-
nard was the first to enter and like the
other members of the party she walked
alone. She was superbly gowned in laven-
der brocade, the delicaey of whose tint
was the more attractive in contrast to her
black hair and eyes. She carried a large
cluster of purple orchids. Mr.. Mortimer
Leventritt, one of the bridegroom's BROTH
ers, followed her to the altar.
Mrs Irving vorenberg was a graceful,
lovely figure in white satin richly bro
caded in pink roses and draped in soft
folds of airy white tulle. Her bouquet
of lavender orchids and lilies introduced
an exquisite finale to the graceful little
toilette. Mr.. Alvin Leventritt was the
groomsmen who followed her and who
was, in turn, followed by the maid of
honor, Miss Jeanne Adler. Graceful and
girlish, in her white brocade toilette,
heavily embroidered with roses and cloud
ed with tulle which was drawn in soft

Hollins and at Fairmont seminary, sup

immediate neighborhood.
Delightful arrangements had been made
for the party, the distribution of flowers
and foliage in the rooms where the guests
played adding to the beauty of the
rooms. punch table. from which re-
freshing drink was served with the salad

Helpful Suggestions for Housewife

Here are couple of suggestions which
may be helpful. One is how to remove
print from -four sacks. Wet the sacks
in cold water, soap the print thorough
", and roll the sacks Up. Pour little
cold water over them, and let them
stand at least two hours. Wash in luke
warm water, rubbing we'll Most of the
print will have disappeared. Soap again
thoroughly and boil in good Nsuds to
which add a little keroesne. Allow one
Tablespoonful of oil to gallon of suds.
The boiling usually removes every bit of
the print. Rub again If necessary. Rinse
and dry. To make the work of hanging
up clothes in cold weather easier, I mea-
sure line between two given points,
making a loop on each end of the line.
On wash day I string the line across the
kitchen and hang up handkerchiefs, ties,
collars, stockings, and all small articles.l
Then / carefully lay the line into the
clothes basket and carry it out, fasten-
ing the loops to the nails which have
been placed there for that purpose. When
the clothes are dry / take in the line
and remove them to the house. I have
found this great help during cold
weather. MRS. j. S."
We are grateful for the clearly writ
ten and excellent household suggestions
Your plan of hanging out clothes when
the thermometer is down at zero is new
to me, and WILL I doubt not, be novel
and helpful to many housewife.

Oh. Amy, ii won't take but an hour,
and you can finish the sewing this after
noon,' said Lizette, nonchalantly.
Amy is going out with me this after
noon, Aunt Lucretia snapoeu and looked
at Lizette in way that BODIED evil for
that young woman.
III finish the work Amy is doing and
mothers waist, too" Anne suggested gem
erously, 'and then Amy can go out with
you both"
Dear me-" Lizette observed, you all
are making a fuss over Amy all of
sudden
'Lizette,' Aunt Lucretia commanded.
In a tone which quite puzzled the pros
pective bride, ''sit here by me a mo-
ment | want to speak to you"
unsuspecting of the real intent of Aunt
Lucretia's words. Iizette dropped into
chair which in this particular family Is
known as "the mourner's BENCH" because
it's next to Aunt Lucretia's arm chair.

Nobody had ever dared to suggest such
things to Lzette during all of her butter
fly existence, and she was almost petri-
fed at Aunt Lucretas audacity.
Il think 1t is pure thoughtfulness on
your part, and some one ought to tell you
what a fool you are making of yourself,Y
continued the tormenter. Il know there's
popular superstition abroad in the land
that a bride of the particular moment
must be handled with care, like fragile
bit of china, and is TO be aided unremt-
tingly in her trousseaung 10 the end that
well, I want to ask why such Is the
case? Why do they do it?f
Not soul spoke in answer to the lady's
question, and the prospective bride looked
like she wished she was dead and buried
at that particular moment.
You are being selfish without knowing
It," Aunt Lucretia went on to say, in a
kinder manner, as she saw Lizettes un-
happy face, "and selfishness isn't very
good preparation for matrimony.'
II dare say not Lizette observed TIM
idly.
The next morning several of Lizettes
friends received billet doux, saying that
they need not bother about finishing the
things they were doing for her trousseau.

her favorite topic, which she designated
as "the divorce evil'' wild horses
couldn't stop her.
ut does seem the fashion to farm
out trousseaux." Anne observed lazily,
before Aunt Lucretia could get her
breath. 'Lizette is only doing what
dozens of her friends have done. Even
have promised to hemstitch some tow
els for her."
where are you girls?" called a happy
voice from below stairs and before they
had time TO answer, I4izette-the pros
pective bride herself tripped into the
room where everybody was sewing.
Lizette didn't look one iota like the
bride-elect, that we picture in our minds.
On the contrary, she was as fresh
and blooming as a month in the country
could possibly make her.
Aunt Luoretia looked over her glasses
and scanned her from head to toe.
Are all of your things ready?' She
asked Lizette.
"All but a few which my long-suffering
friends are finishing up for me- replied
the prospective bride. I'm having some
initiating done at one of the shops 10
save my eyes. John says that he doesn't
want a half blind bride from embroider-
ing"
VERY sensible of John. I must say"
commented Aunt Lucretia caustically
but rather hard on your long-suffering
friends"
Amy colored painfully, while she kept
on sewing.
Aunt Lucretia has that diabolical habit
of implying so much more than she says,
and Amy is sensitive about the way Lii
zette has always led her around by the
nose, as it were. since they were little
tots at the same dancing school,
