A Noyel Snonpe Cake

The success of this cake depends upon the manner in which 1t is put together. No baking powder is required Beat the whites of four eggs dry and fold into them one cup of sugar, a quarter cup at a time; add the beaten yolks of the eggs, one at time, cutting each in half with the egg beater as it is put into the mixture and stirring them into the whites and sugar so easily and light ly that the mixture will be strealSed with yellow Add one cup of flour into the mixture in the same way. Pour into a buttered pan and bake for three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven. When the cake is ready for the oven it should still show streaks of flour and yollxs. It will come out of the oven frothy and light golden within and slightly sugary on the outside. Flavor the batter with vanilla or rosewater as preferred. d.-Kindness of Mrs. P. E.

Olives From Green Plums

My experiment with the olives made rom green plums offered sometime since by Mrs. c. J. B. has not proven a suc- cess. The plums retain the natural bit terness of unripe plums and, though Mrs. .. J. B., says they look and taste like real olives, mine do not. I think they lack salt and have an excess of vinegar. This is the recipe she gave: 'erwo quarts or green plums, two quarts of vinegar. two and half tablespoons of salt, and one and one-half tablespoons of mustard seed.' I should like to hear from others who experimented.f n have several copies Of scientific magazines that some one who is mechanically inclined would per- haps enjoy. Also, I should like the ad- dress of some shut-ins to whom I could mall regularly copies of standard maga- zines. l have a number of cotton quilt scraps, too, in pretty colors Any of them may be had for. the postage re- quired.

 attendance and it was like a 'Fete Day
 People love music over there! The at
 mosphere is permeated with it and they demand the best. The higher priced the band is there, the more it is in demand. because they know it is capable of rendering the best music. I hope these conditions will prevail at no distant day here, and I believe they will, be- cause the opportunity is at hand for people to take advantage of 1t and they are certainly most appreciative.'
 q can't say too much in regard to
 the Music Study club, Mrs. Davis, -srs.
 Sharpe and others, and the splendid
 work for the band concerts" said MT.
 Memoli in conclusion. The ladies really ought not to be asked to raise the funds for the concerts. It is a great hardship in these hot days for them to be making a personal campaign and soliciting individual subscriptions, but they have gone into it with their whole hearts, and like everything they do. they are making a success of it."
