ads and desserts. An unusual fruit
salad. suited to molding In halves OF
oranges or grapefruit, Ia strongly ma
vored with ginger ale and has bits OF
Canton ginger mixed with the fruit.
The recipe calls for two tablespoon.
fuls Of granulated gelatin softened in
two tablespoonfuls of cold water and
then dissolved In quarter of cupful
of boiling water. To this add one cup
full OF ginger ale, the juice of one large
lemon and two tablespoonfuls Of sugar.
When the mixture begins to stiffen
stir in variety of diced fruits, with
bits Of orange or grapefruit pulp and
chopped nuts. This can be served with
mayonnaise dressing as salad or with
whipped cream as q dessert.
A pretty way Of serving individual
portions Is to mold the ginger and
fruit salad in halves of large grape
fruit. When ready to serve divide each
half so that each portion shall repre-
sent quarter the size of the original
grapefruit and the fruit jelly shall
have rim Of grapefruit peel only
where it would come in contact with
the plate.
Any fruit salad mixture can be given
a pleasant pungent flavor by the ad'
dition of bits Of crystallized ginger.
A small quantity Of the syrup drained
from preserved ginger makes a novel
and appetizing addition to any dress
ing intended to be served with fruit
salad

Princess Zita was born May 9, 1892.

ince of Lucca. near the famous Italian
sea resort OF Viareggie. Her father,
Robert, retained the title Of grand duke
of Tuscany, even IL he didn't retain
the dukedom, the latter having been
incorporated into the growing king.
dom of Italy when the duke was only
ten years old. His predecessors en-
joyed also the titles Of king of Han.
over, duke of Brunswick, duke. OF Par
ma and king Of Naples, but Robert
didn't insist on these. Princess Zita's
mother was the Infanta Maria The
resa, of Portugal, youngest and hand
soonest Of the six famous Braganza
sisters, whose brother, Dom Miguel, a
few years ago, married Anita Stewart
Of New York.
Zitas mother WAS Duke Roberts
second wife, and Zita was the thtr
teenth child, the duke having had
eight children by his first wife and
IL by his second.
OF the former, only three, Princess
Maria Theresa, Prince Elias and Prin-
cess Beatrice are normal. The other
five are weak minded. Although Duke
Robert insisted they should always re-
main under the parental roof. 1t was
necessary for them to have constant
attendance and surveillance.
