Christmas noucorn Balls.

To make Christmas popcorn balls the
first thing to do, of course, is to pop
a good quantity of popcorn. Look II
over thoroughly, discarding the unpoped
kernels, and put the well-popped kernels
into a large kettle. For every three
quarts of the popcorn after it is popped
add a tablespoonful of salt: Now mix
together one tablespoonful of melted
butter and a cupful of molasses and one
half cupful of sugar. Put in a small
stewpan and bring to the boiling point,
and boil until the mixture will become
brittle when tested in cold water. Pour
the mixture gradually over the popcorn.
stirring all the while and turning the
kernels constantly. Shape into balls,
pressing into shape very lightly, and
place on oiled paper to cool.
Another recipe for popcorn balls runs
as follows:
Pop corn, pick over. and put in a
large kettle; there should be five quarts.
Put two ctpfuls of sugar, One-half cup
full of white syrup, one-thihd teaspoon
full of salt, and one and one-half cup
fuls Of water in saucepan. Bring to the
boiling point, and let boil without stirring
until thermometer registers 26O degrees
F. Add one teaspoonful Of vinegar and
one Tablespoonful of vanilla, and continue
the boiling until thermometer reaches 264
degrees F.-Woman's Home Companion.

by the heroine OF this Russian play
have undoubtedly had much to do with
the present vogue of tunics. although
there are other handsome gowns re-
vealed during the three acts by one OF
the other characters, Marjorie Sea-
ton. the daughter Of a wealthy Eng
lishman residing in Russia. In the first
act a charming negligee IS shown, COM
posed OF filmy chiffon in pale pink and
pale blue. The foundation of this at
tractive lounginG frOck is OF white
pussy willow taffeta. with a draped
overdress of pale blue chiffon over
which is worn a coatec Of the pale pink

tive dinner gown Of peach-color taf-
feta of the same soft weave. The
foundation might almost be called
Princess" so simply is il built. with
a slightly draped bodice showing a dis
tinct waist line and rather high bust.
The only garniture used on this stun
ming frock is a garland of bright Grim
son roses, which is draped from the
left shoulder down one side OF the bod
ice and almost diagonally across the
skirt of the gown. This model might
be carried out efectually in different
color combinations. 1t is needless to
say that il can be worn only by a slim
figure, but while a number OF attrac-
tive gowns are displayed in the play
it is to Marya, the heroine of the
drama, that we must look for the in
spiration OF the Russian garments
which undoubtedly have contributed to
the vogue of these styles for the fall
and winter.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-17

Tunic styles which are a feature of
the fall and winter gowns, owe much
of their popularity to the success of a
play of life in modern Russia, which
was one OF the features of the last
theatrical season in New York and
which will be seen at the National
Theater next week. The play. The
Yellow Ticket" deals with certain
phases of life in the Cars domain
which have to do with the issuing of
passports to the female subjects of the
Little Father" as the ruler of all the
Russias is called by his countrymen.
The leading character in The yell
low Ticket" is one Marya Varenka. a
young Russian woman. who appears in
the first act of the drama wearing a
very simple tunic frock with basque
like coat buttoning down the front,
small fur-trimmed toque and the inevi-
table muff and scarf that, by reason of
the extremes OF climate, usually form
part of the Russian womanS winter
costume.
When this very becoming and simple
tunic gown was shown for the first
time on the stage in New York by
the leading actress in The Yellow
Ticket" it created much discussion and
was Immediately copied by the far-see-
ing couturiers of the metropolis. The
early spring showed the tunic in vari-
Gus forms as the first departure from
the straight lines of the preceding sea-
son.

heroine of The Yellow Ticket" as the

secuted by the secret police. II was
necessary that the costume worn
should be modest and unassuming in
character. while at the same time dis
playing Russian characteristics for the
purposes of theatrical atmosphere. As
these cuts show. the idea was worked
out simply and effectively by means
of a tunic of dark blue crepe de chine

COOKING CAULIFLOWER

CCopyright, 1914, by the Mcclure Newspaper syndi-

There is no winter vegetable more deli
cate, and at the same time more health
giving than caulifiower, and in the ab-
sence Of meat it can be served in many
substantial ways. One Of these is to boil
the vegetable plainly and then dress 1t
with salt, pepper, cheese and butter, and
bake it. Caulihower au naturel is first
boiled in the same plain way, drained,
seasoned ard served with a clarified but
ter sauce. For a salad, the boiled and
drained vegetable is thoroughly chilled
and dressed with salt, pepper. oil and vine
gar or lemon Juice. Caulifower timbals
or shells may be made with a very small
quantity OF the cold vegetable, no matter
how 1t has first been prepared. The fiow-
er Is chopped fine and mixed with stale
powdered bread crumbs, cream, red pep
per and salt The mixture is put into the
small brown dish called timbales,
or packed into big clam shells; then each
is sprinkled with more bread dust, a nut
Of butter is put on top and the bite is
baked Cold caulifower in large pieces
may also be dipped in a light batter and
fried in oil.
For baked, creamed caulihower cook
the caulifiower. break It into bits and put
in a baking dish with layers of cream
sauce and grated cheese; brown In the
oven. The cream sauce Is made from
butter and -four rubbed together, nicely
seasoned with salt and pepper and
brought to boil in milk. -
For cauliiower and cheese mix cold
cauliiower with rich. cream, or rather a
thick white sauce, II you can't spare the

Of the initials are done in the popular

Blame the TeIephons Gid.

When in doubt, blame the telephone
girl!
That seems to be the motto OF a great
many women who have acquired the habit
Of ascribing most OF the annoyances and
troubles Of the day on the telephone
girl Telephone girls, like janitors, spe-
cialists and plummers, are the natural
scapegoats Of city life. We like to blame
them for everything that goes wrong. An
honest specialist, conscientious janitor,
a hard-working plummer or a quick
witted telephone girl We naturally as
sumo does not exist. Although, of course,
we must know that those who follow
these professions are on the average
just as well fitted for their business as
70 any one else. 1t is simply a habit Of
ours to blame these individuals.
do you have more complaints from
men or from women in the telephone sery-
ice?" the editor of the woman's Her
aid put this question to one of the tele-
phone chief operators in Washington yes
terday. In other words are the women
subscribers moret rouble than the men
subscribers?"
There is no comparison" was the
chief operators ready reply. and then.
ans Herald was a woman, she paused
for a second. That is the honest fact
and every telephone girl would say the
same. 1 would rather attend to the calls
of the toughest and most uneducated OF
men than the average woman. 1 know
that from the man I will get more po-
liteness, more consideration. more fair
play than from the women"
But business women" I suggested,
aren't they just as considerate as mem"
NO, indeed, business women are the
hardest people in the world to deal with.
They insist on getting their number i'm
mediately, and If the line is busy they
absolutely refuse to believe it Busi-
ness women may be all right in some
ways, but they are the hardest custom
ers that the telephone girl has to deal
with. But then everybody blames the
telephone girl, and all the poor telephone
girl can say is Excuse it, please She
would lose her job if she tried to stick
up for herself.
so, added the chief operator, 'ff you
are going to write anything that women
will read please say a good word for US.
Please ask the women to have a little
more patience, and ask the business
women, especially. to remember that
everything that goes wrong in teiephon-
ing is not always the hello girls fault"
