With oranges. plentiful and com
paratively cheap. many desserts may
be made of them. Here are some
recipes:
Orange Delighted and cut into
cubes fair sized pineapple Remove
the skin and seeds from about half
dozen large juicy oranges and cut the
sections into halves. Place alternate
layers of the pineapple cubes and the
orange sections, sprinkling gener-
ously with powdered sugar in glass
dish. Decorate the top layer with
maraschino cherries.
Orange Charlotte-Soak one-third of
a box of gelatin in one-thrid of cup
OF cold water for two hours. Add a.
scant cup of boiling water, one cup of
sugar and the juice of a lemon. Place
the dish containing the above in cold
water, adding cup of orange juice
and pulp. Beat until almost cold. Add
the beaten whites of three eggs. stir
ring the mixture hard until it just
pours from the spoon. Turn into
mold lined with quarters of oranges
and keep in cold place until ready
to serve, when 1t should be turned
with whipped cream. Instead of the
whipped cream soft custard made OF
the egg yolks may be prepared.
Simple Orange Punch-As founda-
ton generous pint of weak tea may
be used. to which is added the juice
of twelve large oranges and three
| lemons. The flavor of sprig of
fresh mint leaves is extracted by
crushing it with cracked ice. Add
sufficient white strip to please the
taste. Serve in tall thin glasses with
floating slice of orange.
Scotch orange marmalade is a good
addition to the breakfast table and is
termed an improvement on the Eng
lish orange marmalade. Weigh the
fruit before cutting and allow three
quarters of a pound of graduated sug-
ar to each pound of fruit, using the
rind and juice of three lemons to
dozen oranges. Remove the peel from
the latter and boil until tender in
plenty of water. The water is drained
off and the peel allowed to coal Re-
move the seeds from the pulp, place
in a porcelain kettle with the sugar
and cook until thick. Cut the aol
into narrow strips and mix thoroughly
with the pulp, all of which is cooked
again to the desired thickness, when
it is poured into jelly glasses and
sealed.
Orange Surprise-Cut oranges in
halves. Remove juice and pulp, being
careful not to break the skins Half
package of gelatin must be soaked
in half cup of cold water and then
dissolved in half a cup of boiling wa
ter. Add one cupful of sugar and
the juice of half lemon. Add pint
of orange juice and strain. Mold in
tea cups previously wet with cold wa
ter. Decorate the jelly with almonds
and candied cherries. When ready
remove the jelly forms to the orange
skins. Cover with meringue and brown

senger, as the man whom he had seen
cloeost to the Princes person, he de-
ferred to him. and Francois realized
that he must make, and make quickly,
a momentous decision. The arsenal
was immense and lightly guarded De
Persigny rad been sent with small
force to take il, for the ammunition
It held might at any moment be OF
supreme importance. II seemed that
the detachment which guarded it had
been moderated, for II had made pris-
oners of De Persigny and his men,
and this aide-de camp had alone es-
capped If they were to be rescued, If
the arsenal was to be gained for the
Prince, this very moment must be
seized. General Voirol. royalist, the
commandant at Boulogne, was on his
way with reinforcements and the
third might we'll hold the arsenal
against him but not gain 1t from him.
Francois thought The orders were
plain TO lead the third artillery to join
the Prince on the ramparts. But there
are times in history when to obey or
ders is treachery Was not this mo-
ment, heavy with the right or wrong
of his 'ocision, one of them? Was 1t
not tie part of mind capable OF
greatness to know and grasp the flying
second of opportunity? Would not the
