The Vitagraph players. under the
leadership of William V. Ranous and
Maurice Costello. which left New
York last December have now com
pieted a little over half of their
projected tour of the globe. Speak.
ing of them and their trip the Mir.
ror says:
They travelled by way Of Chicago
and San Francisco. across the Paci-
fic to Honolulu in the Hawaiian Is.
lands. and thence to Japan, where
they went TO Hong Kong and Sing.
ans and Rangoon to British India.
whence they travelled to Egypt.
where they are located at the mo-
ment of writing.
In almost every place where they
have slipped they have produced a
photoplay. After careful study of the
manners and customs of the differ
ent places they have been able to
introduce into the pictures a true
local atmosphere, the like of which
could not possibly be duplicated in
a studio production. This is well
illustrated by The Wrath of Osaka
a stirring Japanese romance play
ed near Yokohama. They got
busy with japanese subjects at the
very moment of landing. producing
Jacks Chrysanthemum," pretty
love story of an American artist
aid runaway Geisha girl.
The players did not even rest from
their labors on the voyage across
the Pacific. If one of them was

LEAVING MUCH TO CHANCE
OId-Tfme Cooking Directions Were
Not Very Specific as to Portions
to Be Mixed.

The modern housewife, who appor-
tons her foods and mixes cakes and
cookery recipes with mathematical
precision, can find nothing more
amusing than some of the vague d.
rections by which the old-fashioned
cook of several generations ago pre-
pared foods. These random sentences,
taken from little cook book that be-
longed to the great-grandmother of a
Baltimore girl. suggest pointed ex-
amples:
Take whatever quantity Of rice
you think proper, according to the
size of your family; boil it in good
broth and some lard; when cool mix
It with as much flour as rice, a good
deal of butter, some eggs to hold 1t
together, and make a puff paste OF It,
Form into hot cakes of whatever
shape and bigness you please. and
bake.
If your fire is not very quick and
clear when the poultry Is laid down to
roast, It will not eat near so sweet or
look so beautiful to the eye.
According to the goodness of your
fire, your meat will be done sooner
or later
A few eggs, a little milk. pinch
of salt, sweetening to taste, flour to
thicken, a good beating, and bake ac-
cording to judgment. (These are di
rections for a breakfast bread)

WashInnton Pie.

One-quarter cup butter, one cup
sugar, two eggs, one-half cup milk,
one and one-half cups sifted flour, one
rounding teaspoon of baking powder.
The way in which this is put together
is a little unusual, but if you can
follow the directions | think you will
be pleased with the result. Cream
the butter and sugar by hand. add
the eggs one at a time and slap them
in by hand. Then use a spoon and
add milk and most of the -four and
beat well. Add the baking powder stiff
ed with a little Of the -four, and do
not beat much after adding it. This
makes a fne-grained, light cake.
