sHoRT-NoTIcE DISHES.

The forehanded, careful housekeep-
er has something on hand which may
be put together in hurry when unex-
pected company drops in. A plain
cake or small drop cakes will make de-
licious puddings when steamed. and
good sauce is made for them. The
sauce for a pudding must be well fla
vOred and smooth.
For such a pudding as the above,
take a tablespoonful or two OF -four.
a cup of sugar, mix well and pour on
boiling water to make smooth paste.
spoonfuls of vinegar, grating of nut
meg and a tablespoonful of butter. Do
not omit the butter or the sauce will
be fiat. This is delicious sauce to
serve with a cottage pudding or any
sponge cake.
A white sauce is a dish one may pre-
pare in a hurry, and different materi-
ais, such as hard cooked eggs, cold po-
tatoes or any vegetable may be added
Crackers served with canned april
cots poured over them and heated
makes a very nice emergency dessert.
An omelet is always good, and as We
should be always well supplied with
eggs, it makes good emergency dish.
A can or two of prepared soup should
be On your emergency shelf, and a
nice hot soup can be quickly pre-
pared
If you have a cup OF cold cooked
rice, put it with a little butter and
a shredded onion into a frying pan;
brown the rice and onion, add three
well beaten eggs and a half cup Of
milk, season well and serve as hot
dish,
A can of salmon or tongue, or il
you live ON a farm you will no doubt
have different kinds of meat which
may be quickly prepared. Sausages
slightly cooked and put down in Jars
covered with hot fat will keep well.
Crackers sprinkled with grated
cheese and baked. make good accom-
paniment to a simple salad. Butter
the crackers, spread with the cheese,
season with red pepper and salt and
put il in the oven.
Bacon is another good meat which
keeps, and is so good in 3 number of
dishes.

able conditions OF the market for ma
terial and labor, for about $3.50. A
distinctive feature is the front hall
with its pretty. open. winding stair
way with closet underneath for
hats and coats. and three doorways
which give access TO three different
rooms-an unusual feature in house
construction. OF course, there are
many long. winding halls that reach
away back and communicate every
where, but they are not economical
Of room. In this case the hall occu-
pies very little space; but the con-
venience and artistic effect are much
greater than in most halls, although
others may be much more pretentious.
II is great thing, in building. to utilize
space TO the best advantage. Measure
ments are arbitrary In given
ground space, the fact must be rec
ognized that the enlargement OF one
room means that the next one must
be smaller. This hall is large enough
for all practical purposes, and 1t
leaves plenty of room for the parlor,
dining room and sitting room.
The parior is the smallest OF the
three. and rightly so. Psrlors are fast
going out Of date. Their principal use
has been for weddings and funerals,
and the way some Of them are fur
nished leaves funeral flavor all the
time. The conventional parlor is the
most uncomfortable room in the
house. The children must be excIud-
ed, and the men folks are afraid OF
disarranging the chair tides or get
ting a chair an inch or two out OF its
proper place. The chairs usually are
! stiff-backed and uncomfortable, and
too nice for chair. as their principal

Revolver Dues in Club With Bullets Made Of Wax

n UELlNG practice with regulation
~ .44-caliber revolvers and wax bull
lets will be feature Of the instruc-
ton at the Washington Fencers' club,
which will open it's new home in Con-
necticut avenue northwest in the
near future. The duelists will face
each other in the sale d'armes so feet
apart. They will be protected with
wire masks and body guards. The
hand gripping the revolver will be
guarded by a metal shield, which is adj
Unstable to any style of weapon.
M. Francois Darrieulat, maitre
d'armes Of the club. has sent to Paris
for the dueling outfits, and expects to
have them ready before the opening of
the season. The shells for the mock
duels are loaded with sufficient pow-
der to propel the wax projectile In a
straight line for so feet with, sufi-
cient force to make 1t stick to the
mask or clothing or the victim" Of
the attack.
The wax bullet will shoot as true
as lead bullet, yet win not injure the
participants" said M. Darrieulat
The head will be guarded by a
strong saber mask. This practice will
be excellent for army officers and 9TH
ers who wish to learn to shoot accu-
rately. The novelty of having another
person for a target and being a tar
get at the same time ought to appeal
to persons in Washington as it has ap-
pealed to revolver shots in Paris.

Postoffce Tower Loses Its Light Mystery

were answered when they asked
why" during the days succeeding the
first appearance OF the glare.
1t is true that Mr.. Hitchcock once in
answer to query as to the why's and
wherefores of this dazzling illumina-
ton said, Ask Mr.. Weed" Mr.. Weed
was then the chief clerk of the post

he said, ASK Mr. Hitchcock"
The appearance Of the Eight and its
disappearance are dark mysteries.
Some one said that the blaze was orig
inally kindled to brighten from their
nightly roosting place pair of falcons
which preyed on the domestic pigeons
of the capital. The falcons, however,
were seen after the light had burned
for some time. Now the light is out,
and perhaps economy has something
to do with it. The chances are, that
few people in Washington would care
much about it one way or the other
If it were not for the obstinacy of the

SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT.

Here is a prize recipe for pound
cake which somebody will like to try:
Cream two-thirds of a cup of butter
to a cream, add a cup of. sugar. the
well beaten yolks of four eggs; add
little of a cup and half CT flour sift-
ed with teaspoonful of baking pow
der, and then add a teaspoon of milk.
Add the rest of the flour and the beat
I, en- whites. Bake in a paper lined tin
forty minutes.
RaisIn and Celery saIad.-CuSGD
small pieces two cups OF celery, two
oranges broken in bits AID two-thirds
of a cup of raisins, seeded and
pumped over steam. Add a cup of
grated apple to cup OF mayonnaise
and cover the mixture with this. This
is an especially delicious combination.
cassoiet--This is a famous French
dish. and is both historical and appe-
tizing. Soak over night a quart OF
lima beans; in the morning bring to
the boiling point, then drain. Add
fresh boiling water, a teaspoonful of
salt, and let them cook until nearly
soft. Place in a casserole two cups
of cold cooked chicken or duck, add
the beans, drained, an onion, sliced.
half cup OF strained tomato, a quart
Of hot broth and a teaspoonful OF
kitchen bouquet. Bake one hour, I'M

parsley, brown and serve.
A new way to serve apple dump
lings is to set muffin rings into an
agate pan, I'LL the rings with sliced
apple packed well, then drop rich
biscuit dough on each, spreading out
well to cover the top.
Green Corn and Green Pepper.-Cut
the corn from four ears, put 1t into a

fat; add chopped or shredded green

A VARIETY OF ENTREES.

Entrees. or dishes which come be-
tween. include fritters, souffles, pat
ties, rissoles. croauettes and tim
bales. At this season, when chest
nuts are in the market the following
is dish worth trying:
Lamb Outlets With chestnuts.-Take
a pound of chestnuts and make an.
incision in each; put them into q
sauce pan with cold water TO cover.
bring to the boiling point and boil five
minutes. Drain and peel of the shells
and inner skin. Put them into
sauce pan with three tablespoonful
Of butter. few dashes of salt, and
sugar, and cook until tender. then
put through sieve. Return the PURGE
to the stew pan, add stock. water or
milk, season well. Trim the outlets
evenly, brush with beaten egg and dip
in fine bread crumbs. Press them well
in and shake of all loose ones. Melt
two tablespoonfuls of fat In a frying
pan. and when smoking hot lay in the
outlets, being careful that they all
lie in the same direction as when
cooked the first side is usually the
best looking. Fry on both sides and
drain well on brown paper before
serving. They will require ten TO
twelve minutes to cook. Arrange the
outlets in a crown, all bones to the
center, with the chestnut PURGE in the
center. Pour a good, brown sauce
over and serve.
Potato Border.-Take a pint of DO
tatoes. cooked and mashed, two table
spoonfuls of butter. the yolk OF an egg
and a little milk. Season with salt.
and work all together, using care not
to get 1t too soft. Flour a board and
turn the potato out on 1t, roll into a
straight. even roll. Make a round
piece for the center, lay on the roll,
flute with a knife or fork and fill the
center with any desired mixture as
creamed chicken, peas or celery.
