Prominent and wealthy Boston 30

eoet" lives have formed the Millennium
guild, the first organiza ton Of its kind
In the world.
Love Of all forms Of animal and bird
life in an effort to prevent slaughter is
back Of the new work that this Boston
organization has taken up. The mem
bers of the society, many Of whom
have great wealth, have adopted no
meat diet. They have given up the
wearing Of magnificent furs because of
the appalling cruelty used in the fur
securing industry. They likewise bar
Ill feathers, breasts and wings used on
hats and have no use for kid gloves or
the leather that is used in the soles Of
shoes.
The members have agreed not to
profit in any way by the deliberate
xlias Of any creature.

Hon 10 Make Delicious Biscuits


For biscuits let US select pastry flour,
GOOD sweet shortening, double-raise
Laking powder and sweet milk or water.
Xix is to be preferred, as it browns
the biscuits better. First, measure cor.
rectly and sift together at least three
times, Tie flour, salt and baking powder.
It is important to blend the baking pow
der thoroughly with the flour. Then
With fork or the finger tips work the
chortening thoroughly into the flour and
nix to a soft dough with the milk or
vater-just as soft as can be handled.
I.oll out very lightly, or better, spread
cad pct the dough out thin with the
hands. Handle as little as possible after
wetting. Then cut in small shapes for
the oven, for small biscuits are very
much better than large ones. If baked
quickly, as biscuits should be, large
biscuit does not get the proper heat to
raise and bake the center of the biscuit.
A small biscuit raises perfectly, bakes
better, is more palatable, and is easier
to digest.
Biscuits should always be baked on q
sheet or in q very shallow pan, as the
biscuits should be above the sides of the
pan in order to have the heat get to
them quickly. If baked in a deep pan
the sides shut of the heat, and the bis
cults are likely to f1atten out and run
together and have heavy centers. Never

The domestic side Of q great sing
er's life is always interesting to the
public. and Madam Clara Butt, the
English contralto now in this country,
IL no exception to the rule.
In private life Madam Butt is Mrs.
Kennerly Rumford, most devoted
wife and mother. Her home in St.
Johns wood. just outside London. con-
tains rare treasures-signed portraits
from royalties and art objects from
every part of the world.
Madam Butt is a strikingly hand
some woman and possesses speak
Ing voice that is as rich and sweet as
her singing voice. with that hint of
sadness in ii one somehow expects
from contralto whose songs lie
among the saddest notes on the piano.
When asked about the songs she
liked best in her repertoire she re-
piled: 81 love all music. all music
that Is sincere. | like sentiment, but
I hate sentimentality. And believe
IN singing sincere song, sincerely
written, so that the man In the back
row of the gallery can hear you dis
tinctly. And that brings me to the
question Of diction. am a crank on
diction and think that far too little
attention is paid to 1t by singers
Clear pronunciation is as necessary

feeling the passion and beauty of q
song II your incoherency causes your
bearers to wonder what on earth you
are working yourself up into such
state about. II could would have
all singers who ventured to sing on
q concert platform pronounce their
words in such a way that no one could
be in the least doubt as to what they
were saying"
When asked whether personal beau
~ and smart clothes were essential
for a singers success. Madam Butt
replied with convictions: mo. Ones
appearance and ones clothes matter
only for very small portion Of the
audience. What really matters Ii
ones sincerity. The plain singer with
personality can succeed as we'll as the
most beautiful woman. It's oneself
the real self. not the features or the
erock, but the soul-that comes out In
ones voice and gives expression to It
that makes one popular or merely tol-
Grated" And it is only great artist
Ike Madam Butt who could nay such
things.

Sending Wedding Gifts.


A gift to a prospective bride must
always be sent to her individually.
whether she Is personally known to
the sender or nOt-this. Of course.
where the bridegroom is friend. but
the girl be is to marry not known. II
there is silver and It 10 marked It
should be with the name or initials
Of the bride to be. Table or bed linen,
an embroidered centerpiece or any.
thing that has the name must be In
her name.
There Is a reason for these laws.
The old saying of "many a slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip" applies. Some.
thing may happen to prevent the mar
rage. Death or even misunderstand-
ing that cannot be Strengthened may
mean that the marriage will never
take place. Then would come the diff
hculty Of the bride elect having as
sumed beforehand name that IL not
Iegitimately hers.
In sending gift the donors card
without any writing at all is inclosed
with the present; If sent after mar.
rlage, short note Of congratulations
may accompany the same. Husband
and wife may send gift jointly; then
the calling card must have ."Mr. and
Mrs" on it, but always the gift Is
sent to the bride to be.
OF course in note Of congratula-.
ton the name of the bridegroom must
be Included. and the more simple and
friendly such notes are the better.
