Not long ago dishes served In curry
we're rarities. One had to have a Hindoo
cook-turbaned and versed in the culi-
nary traditions Of the East-if one hoped
to serve curry dishes. And the hotels
where curried dishes were successfully
prepared usually did boast of such dig
nitary among their chefs. But now every
skilled chef or cook has to understand
the use of curry IL he wishes to keep
abreast with the present taste of Wash
ingIon1ans.
Still, so plainly is curry a part OF
Western cookery that it is called the salt
of the East. Yet for all that there are
many towns of fair size in India where
curry was never heard OF.
However. the East does understand the
use of curry as the West does not. Too
often curry powder and paste in this
country and in most of Europe are looked
upon as charitable clOaks under which
TO hide leftover and unpalatable meats.
To be at its best curry should he used
only with the freshest and best food
fresh fish, vegetables and meats. freshly
cooked.
There arc hundreds Of ways OF prcpar-
ing a curry dish. Each cook, probably.
has his own tricks in the matter which
he would contend preserved the HaEoT
of the spices and brought out the flavor
of the food combined with them better
than any other methods. There are
few general rules which every good cook
would agree to. and these can well be
mastered by the amateur who attempts
curry dishes.
First Rules.
Ono of them is to take plenty of time
to prepare the dish carefully. Another
is never to boil any CuTried dish, but TO
let il simmer gently for a long time-it
must be thoroughly cooked. in spite of
the fact that it must not be boiled.
third rule is not to use any flour thiCkcn-
ing with curry. This is sometimes called
for. but. strictly speaking, it should not
bc used Another rule calls for as little
water as can possibly he employed. some
times none. The ingredients can be put
in a bath Of cream before they are added
to the curry. or they can be mOistened
with plenty Of fresh butter or a little
cream. but they should lie kept free OF
water
The best dishes in which to make cur
RIGS are French glazed carthenware
dishes. which can :, kept for hours at
low heat il necessary. The curries should

are cooked.

Spring STYLES from Paris?

Again the question OF Paris styles YER
sus American styles is uppermost in the
minds of the women who are interested
in clothes In the coolest of winter
weather the mind Of the feminine half
Of the world turns eagerly tc the thought
Of coming spring fashions. When Jack
Frost nips our noses and We hurry along
rapidly past the shop windows TO keep
warm We catch glmpses of the advanced
spring apparel now shown for the bene-
ht of those of us who are fortunate
enough to contemplate trips to the South.
And somehow our spirits brighten as we
think that before many weeks we shall
have to be thinking of spring hats, and
spring suits and lighter, brighter, spriEht-
lie apparel
OF course these spring. fashions will
have 10 come from somewhere. and the
question is: VIII Paris. London or New
York be that somewhere? Already Miss
Genevieve Clark whose engagement was
recently announced. has expressed her
intention 10 have American-made clothes,
and there are many women who have d
feeling that to stand firm for American
made clothes is a commendable act Of
patriotism.
The feeling seems to be with those
who are in q position to know most about
this vexing clothes question that Paris
will still lead in fashion creation, al
though other centers can have their
share of the glory and the gain of spring
fashions in adapting what Paris creates
to the needs Of particular locations. As
a matter Of fact there is bound to be a
great deal Of lost money and effort if
American manufacturers and designers
try TO get along without Paris. The Paris
designers have evolved a system whereby
some definite period or style Of dress can
be settled on each season. Without this
concerted action the American manufac-
turers and designers would flood the mar
ket with many different styles for the
selection of the distracted woman Of
fashion. And in the end, when the style
that was to predominant was selected,
great deal Of these creations would be
drug on the market
So. from all points of view. it is good
thing TO let Paris keep her pre-eminence
in the style world. The men Of Paris are
still at the front fighting. But the women
Of Paris are not, and it is these women
trained for generations in the art Of style
creation. some of them suffering deep
bereavement and loss. who will, in all
probability. keep I'D the tradition Of
Paris in deciding for the rest of the
civilized feminine world what sort Of
spring clothes are to be worn.

Mrs. Ulke Lamasure, yesterday after

Mrs. Lamasurc declared that "Parsifal'

since his time have been indebted to
him. Reciting the text of 'Parsifal."
Mrs Lamasure outlined in her piano

FAMOUS
WOMAN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
January 5-Countess de Remusat.

Today is the l35th anniversary of the
birth of the Countess de Remusat, Claire
Elisabeth Gravier de Vergennes, as her
name was written before she was mar
Tied,
She was a member of an illustrious
French family. and at a tender age she
was left fatherless. She was an only
child and her mother brought her up
with great care, realizing that in her edu-
cation would probably be her greatest
fortune. When she was sixteen she was
married to Ramusat, and forthwith be-
came lady of honor in the household Of
the Empress Josephine, the first wife of
the great Napoleon.
Though the Countess de Remusat was
little more than a child when she en-
tered the household of the Bonapartes. it
is said that the great Emperor appre-
ciated that she was a woman of unusual
Intellectual powers and treated her with
the greatest consideration. However, it is
generally agreed that the countess IA
vor with the Emperor diminished before
his divorce from Josephine
All the time that de RemuSat was serv-
Ing in the household of the Emperor she
wrote her impressions OF what was 60
ing on about her. Her record was a day
by-day account Of the minutest incident
i'm the household of the Empress Many
of these accounts were letters which wer-
sent to her friends and which were read
and reread with interest and enthusiasm.
All these letters and diaries the count
ess carefully saved. but in the troublous
Hundred Days" she feared having them
found In her possession, 50 she burned
them every one.
After Napoleon was safely out Of the
way and there was little danger Of Of
Tending any one by the publication OF
letters such as DE Remusat's had been.
and after many other personal memories
dealing with the BOnaparte family had
been published. the countess rewrOte from
memory the story of her life as lady If
honor of the Empress Josephine, and this
remains to this day the most valuable
record of the life of that unfortunate
woman.

Dear Madam: 1 would like you to ad-
wise me what I could do to a room L
have that has an unfinished and coarse
appearance. I am not able to spend
much on ii. but it just needs something
to make it look right.
The size of the room is sixteen by
twenty with very low ceilings, and is
ceiling overhead and around with mar
row ceiling. 1t is the natural color of
the wood, as I have never painted 1t or
done anything to il yet. and it lacks
refined and cOzy appearance which l
would like to have. Hoping you may
give me some ideas as TO what to do TO
the wall. Respectfully. S. S.
This room might be made to look very
attractive with a little thought and at
tention. In a room with a low ceiling
the wall covering ought to be either
striped or plain. A figure tends to make
the ceiling appear lower. Since there is
no plaster on the walls paper would be
out of the question. If YOU do not want
to go to the expense of the services of a
professional decorator you might cover
the walls yourself with plain burlap,
tacking il on at the top and bottom of
the walls with small brass tacks. The
color might be brown, buff, dull green or
old blue. If you do not want to attempt
this a good effect might be gained by
applying a fiat-toned stain to the natural
wood. This would be especially good IL
a good many attractive pictures can be
used
Much depends on the way the windows
are treated, and in a room of this sort
the most attractive sort of window cur
tains would be close sash curtains hang
ing from top to bottom of the window
pane. They might be of plain white
swiss or one of the all-white window
drapery nets in a small checked design.
At the side OF the window and in a
valance across the top some pretty
chinz might be used, and the same sort
of chinz might be used on the lounge
or for lounge pillow covers and for
cushions on the chairs. A chInz show

The Four-Mile COLONY,

Miss Elizabeth G. White, president of
the Board of Lady Visitors to the Bur-

having heard frequent rumors that the
Four-Mlle Colony was not real benefit

to Professor b. II. tombstone, superin-
tendent of the Training School at Vine.
land with reference to those rumors and
asked him for some definite information
on the number of children cared for
from Burlington county at the Vineland
institution. She received a reply that
shows that Burlington county is being
looked after very we'll at Vineland and
and that there is urgent need for the
institution at Four-Mile, which is already
doing good work and is destined to in
crease its usefulness. The letter from
Professor tombstone is as follows:
The Training School at Vineland, N. J..
June 18th, 1915.
Miss Elizabeth White, New Lisbon, N. J.
My dear Miss Wilhelm answer to
your inquiry, we have here at the Train
ing School twenty-five children from
burlington county, and there are at the
burlington county Colony eight children
from burlington county. OF these
thlrty-three, twenty-three have been re-
celyed since the colony in Burlington
county was planned. This is about one
third of all the children who have been
received into the Training School within
this time, so that you can see that Bur
lington county has Jared very much
better than any other two counties, even
the largest ones.
This am sure must be a great COM
fort to the folks in Burlington county
and must show how well worth while
the development of the colony plan has
been.
With kindest regards, am,
Very truly yours,

Camp Ockanickon Opens Next
Week,

Camp Ockanickon, the South jersey

hibition of ventriloquism and address,
by Rev. John S. Garlic, Moorestown;

The Chautauqua Program Was
Excellent.

The Chautauqua Association presented
a fine program in Mount Holly last
week, better than any heretofore given
here. All the speakers and other talent
appeared on time, everything passed off
smoothly as scheduled, and every num-
Der was of high character.
The lectures by Father D. J. Cronin on
Weeds and Flowers of Literature" by
Rabbi J. L. Levy on Marching On
by DR.. Thomas E. Green-on 1.-THE Bur-
den of Nations" and by Mrs. Maud
Ballington Booth on "Prison Re-
form," were exceptionally fine and
scholarly. Speakers who can hold
large audiences spellbound for about an
hour and half surely have talent and
oratorical powers of unusual merit.
The platform manager, DR.. Jesse H.
Holmes, professor of religion and phil
osophy at Swarthmore College, proved
to be an efficient and popular man, and
request has been made that he be re-
turned next year as superintendent.
His afternoon lectures on Prophets"
were indeed pleasing and instructive,
and his address on Citizenship" at the
Sunday night meeting, was fine effort
and fully up to the high standard of
Chautauqua speeches.
The musical program was entirely
satisfactory to the people, and was suf-
ficiently varied in character to meet the
approval of all classes of lovers of music.
The concerts by Victor's Italian band
seemed to be particularly popular, and
the solos by Miss Hiltz, soprano, were a
delightful feature,
The aim of the Chautauqua, as stated
on the programme, was certainly full
filled in Mount Holly. 1t is: There is
definite purpose in every program offered
by this Association, and that purpose is
to give to the people through the best
music, the best lectures, and the best
entertainment, messages of optimism
and good cheer, and to inspire to higher
more joyous living and a COM
pleter individual and community
success
