SERVING FANCY CREAMS.

Unfortunately. the question OF serving
fancy creams for luncheons is always a
serious one to the hostess who must
carefully count her pennies as these
dellcacies ordered from reliable caterer
are apt TO be a rather expensive Item.
This. however. may be avoided by pre-
pairing the frozen cream o. pudding after
any preferred and tried recipe. Freeze In
the same manner as though to be packed
in a mould. Have in readiness small fancy
boxes or cases appropriate to the occasion

THE BILL OF FARE.

Decide very carefully upon your menu
With two ends in view. First that il shall
be as tempting and springlike as possible
and that combinations OF effective heart
shaped devices may be introduced in
serving the various viands With this con-
sideration I'm mind. the following is sug-
gested:
PURGE OF Grapefruit. with straw berries.
Blsque Of CLAIMS. CrOutons.
Sailed Nuts. Celery. Radshes. olives
Peas. Broiled Swoetbreads with Mushrooms
JUlienne Potatoes.
Msyonnsise Of Tomato salad. Cheese StraWs.
Cherry BsqUe. Fortune Cake.
Coffee Bonbons.
The first course Of grapefruit WIN
strawberries is very easily prepared. Gu,
the fruit exactly In halves and remove the
hard plthy centres and membrane. Then
with a sharp knife loosen the pulp add
to each half six large Strawberries that
have been cut in two and a tablespoonful

Place the fruit when prepared directly on
the ice and serve very cold, resting on
lace paper doylies that have been ar
ranged on dessert or fruit plates.

Mutual RELATIONS AND INTERESTS j.
q o. The BELL SYSTEM AND TIE PUBLIC

The suit brought by the United
States questioning the purchase OF
certain telephone properties in the
northwest, as well as the pending
Interstate Commerce commission tel
ephone investigation, have caused
many inquiries. without taking up
anything going to the merits Of
these proceedings, 1t has seemed to
lis proper to state generally what
has been our policy and purpose IN
thehconduct Of our business.
1--WE have found, or thought that
we had, that our interests were best
served when the public interests
were best served; and we believe
that such success as we have had
has been because our business has
been conducted on these lines.
81; We believe that our company has
An interest as vital as that Of tn"
public in the proper administration
of the problems Of electrical inter
communication. The. success and
prosperity Of our company depend
upon solution of these problems
which shall be sound from both the
standpoint Of the company and the
public which 1t serves.
Following our own best "5udg-
ment, supplemented by the hest OBJ
tainable advice, we haVee ndeavored
TO do what would best serve the pub
ilic Interest; wherever possible our
nlans have been disclosed to the pub
lie in advance, and what has been
done in carrying them out has been
along ordinary business lines, with
HE implied, and generally, with the
Expressed approval, authorization or
consent of the municipal and state
authorities directly interested. Our
effort has been not only to obey the
law, but to avoid everything which
might even have the appearance OF
an attempt at evasion.
Our business methods and policy
and practically all of the details az
10 the transaction of our business,
arc matters of common knowledge
Snd are, and for many years have
been, we'll known to the govern
iaent. We will willingly furntsI!
fhc government any additional in
formation which is in our possession
Or under our control, and will cor
3iially cooperate with it in obtain
ing such further information as 1t
may require. Every possible assist
,ance will be given by us, to the

courts in their effort to determine
whether our policy is or has been
inf7lical to the public interest. We
dGsI. hat anything wrong be cor
rected; we will voluntarily rectity
any wrong that may be pointed out
to us, and so far as 1t may be deter
mined that our policy or any act
under It is against the public inter-
est, we will promptly conform to
such determination. a'a
We believe thatsif each Of our eX-
changes were made an independent
unit and II each connecting line
were put under separate control,
the effect upon the telephone service
of the country would be condition
so intolerable that the public would
refuse to submit to it and would I'M
mediately require such physical con-
nection and common control Of these
various units as would amalgamate
them into single system. Physical
connection in, the case of telephone
or telegraph does not mean transfer
of messages from one line to the 9TH
Ter. 1t means such a connection as
will permit one person to have the
actual possession of the particular
line. of communication from one end
Of it to the other and this can only
be given efficiently by exchange
systems and connecting lines under
common control; and that is what
the Bell System is.
In this connection, and for general
formation, VIC will restatc the pol
icy which controlled the building up
of the Bell System, and our belief as
to what a telephone system should
be, and what are its relations to the
public.
We believe in and were the first to
advocate state or government control
and regulation of public utilities;
that this control or regulation
should be by permanent quasi-iudi-
cial bodies, acting after thorough in
vestigation and governed by the
equities of each case; and that this
control or regulation, beyond reQuir-
ing the greatest efficiency and econ
omy, should not interfere with man
agemcnt or operation. We believe
that these bodies, if they are to be
permanent. effective and OF public
benefit, should be thoroughly repre-
sentative; they should be Of such
character and should so conduct
their Investigations and delibera-

Laid to Poor Bookkeeping.

New York, Jan. 25.-The financial at
fairs of General Sickles have been in
q muddle for months. His Fifth avenue
residence and household effects, includ-
ing many priceless relics OF his career
as a union soldier and diplomatfst,
have been threatened several times by
Impending sheriff's sales to satisfy
judgments for money loaned, but on
each occasion something has forestailed
the sheriNs. Not long ago Mrs. Sickles
came to the old soldiers rescue by
pawning her jewels. They have been
separated for more than twenty-five
years. Her act did not bring about
reconciliation and later Judgments were
obtained against the general.
The alleged shortage was made
known several weeks ago. Loyal friends
Of the general said it was due solely to
an error in bookkeeping and would be
Strengthened in time.
