Something new in the way of tea
and things" was discovered the other
day at a Scotch tea room where scenes
and genuine Edinburgh shortbread were
being served. There were oat cakes, too,
ard Pitcaithy bannocks as we'll.
1.-The scone has all the virtue of the
toasted English muffin as a tea Access
sorry explained the Scotch lass, who
makes these breads. ''And in addition,
it isn't so likely to be soggy. The mut-
fin has yeast in it. but the scone is
made without, as you will see from my
recipe which 1 brought from Dunferm-
line: One cup of flour, one-quarter tea
spoon of salt, one-quarter teaspoon or
cream OF tartar, one-half teaspoon of
| soda (smalD, one teaspoon of sugar.
Mix all the dry ingredients together
and then stir in enough buttermiik
(about three-quarters of a cup) on q
well Toured board. roll lightly to about
one-quarter inch in thickness. Cut this
in eight, pie fashion, and put on a hot
griddle. Do not grease the griddle. Bake
until brown on one side. Turn only once.
The Scotch shortcake is really
cake. 1t looks like pie crust, but is not
so rich and is sweeter. 1 cut the dough
with a knife into triangles, because
think it is much better than when it is
shaped with a cutter. In the large
pastry shop in Edinburgh they roll the
dough much thinner anr cut into small
round shapes"
Another variety of shortcake is the
Pitcaithly hammock. I suppose the lady
of Pitcaithly Nastle, in Perth, originated
them, as all the great ladies in early
times made their own cakes. This Is
simply the shortbread with nuts and
any other good thing you may happen to
have on hand stirred through it, says
the Montreal Star
To make the ordinary shortbread, take
seven ounces Of flour, one ounce of rice
flour, five ounces Of butter, and two
ounces of castor sugar.
Work all of this together with the
hands until ii is soft and the butter Is
well worked in. Make it into round
cake about one-half inch thick; pinch
the edges together and prick it all over
with fork. This keeps it from rising.
Put it on creased paper on fiat tin
and bake in slow oven until it is a
pale brown. One hour or more is not
too long to bake.
In addition to these two cakes the
Scotch use gingerbread for their tea.
but instead of being in high squares as
We make it, it is in small individual
shapes like a muffin, and easier to handle
as the whole surface is firm.
Oatmeal, when baked to crisp. gives
the taste of nuts to a cake, and these
oat cakes are a delicious bite, and yet
not too rich. An old Scotch recipe for
oat cakes is this:
: Put two and one-half handfuls of fine
oatmeal in bowl, with a teaspoon OF
sugar and little salt. Pour over this
one-quarter pint of boiling water in
which one ounce of butter or dripping
has been melted. Mix well with a spoon,
then turn out on a board and knead
with the hands into a round shape. Take
the rolling pin and roll out very thin,
taking care to dust the pin well with

ment was received with cheers at the
meeting Of the club in the Astor Hotel,
as all were pleased that a woman had
won.
THE offer was made known through
the Herald last May by Mrs. August
Dreyer, the chairman of the commit
tee, who origisated the idea. Mrs. Ihl-
seng had read a paper before the club
calling for proper encouragement of
American playwrights, especially those
who had never had a play produced.
Scores of plays were received in a short
time and were read carefully by the COM
mittee. The contest simmered down to
six plays.
THE judgments were made finally by
a committee consisting Of Miss Florence
Gerald, Miss Rachel Crothers. Mr.. John
Stapleton, and MIR. Howard Kyle. They
decided In favor of Miss Sabines play,
entitled The Great Middle Class The
club will use it's influence to have the
play produced soon in New York with q
professional company.
Honorable mention was given to
three other plays. They were a Defcc-
ton From Grace written by Messrs.

THE PRICE WE PAY.

of dishonor in the world that did not
come back to the actor. Yes, 1t Is quite
true that the actor may go along with
head well up in the air and may never
dream that he pays. but that does not
alter the fact. For a man or woman
may accumulate a whole load of discred-
table debts. and pay a bitter price, and
all the while may remain smilingly I'M
conscious Of debt or Of the price in
evitably paid.
A while ago a woman felt a bit dis
turbed by some graceless remarks that
were made to her-remarks unfair. I'M
just. and very untrue. And she was
disposed to retort in kind. but all of
sudden the thought came home-bur
who would pay for the retort? And.
happily for ner, she needed the warn
ing, for time has proven her right. 1t
has proven, too, that the author Of
those graceless remarks has paid his
price-but she very much doubts il he
knows ii. For the penalties for these
little slips often come in ways that are
quite unknown to the culprit.
And fortunate the folk who learn, as
George Eliot did, that impatience and
sharpness react and that the real Bit

longs.
And there is another side

and as philosophical as they ought to
be, would know that. after all, "the
bitter taste" was not for them to carry
around. and that in time the disagree
able affair." would shift where it be-
longed.
For. though they are nightly hurt
by the mean little dabs and thrusts
that mean folk give. the burden Of
bitterness at last rests where II should.

New Evening scarfs.

Fashions in scarfs for evening wear
change each season quite as markedly
as do fashions in gowns and in hats.
In line with the general fashion trend.
many of the novelty scarfs Of this sea-
son have been heavily beaded. Some
of these show most charming beaded
designs at the ends and a few-more
especially those in black and white
have beaded borders running all around
the edge on the long sides as well as
at the ends.
Another novelty In scarfs this season
has been the crewei work decoration.
A few years ago most of the evening
scarfs were of chiffon, unless we except.
perhaps, those Of Oriental make; but
this season we are seeing very interest
ing scarfs Of net. and scarfs OF two
colors of chiffon. one superposed over
the other.

She had been very querulous and I'M
fair in her treatment of woman whose

friend might have chafed and protested.
1t was she and she alone that paid the

And, to US the confession would have
no significance at all IL we did not know
perfectly well that sooner or later these
debts must be paid, and that for every
ugly offense there il a correspondingly
ugly price, unwittingly exacted. and
sometimes unwittingly paid.
One of the life-lessons we are pretty
slow In learning Is the fact that when
we are mot good to the folk We meet
as we go along. there is a price to be
paid in the end. For the fancied bene-
fits derived are certain to dwindle as
time slips by, and then the penalty is
our own "disagreeable affair."" the bitter
taste Is ours, not theirs.
Sometimes. in childlike Ignorance, We
fondly persuade ourselves that there is
no penalty and we are not even con-
scious of q bitter taste-but there are
the folk who are measuring us up and
perdstently collecting the toll For they

we know IL or not
We may say a disagreeable thing and
feel bit better because We have un-
loaded our mind, and it may hurt the
hapless person who CHANGED to be the
target, but as the hours pass we know
right we'll that we paid for the costly
privilege and that We hurt ourselves,
most of all. OF course, II We are in
curably childish. we may not know it

come a popular playwriter. The Century
