SIMPLE EASTER DESSERTS.

The Easter dinner dessert should be
unusual enough to give a festive ma
ture to the meal. and yet it should be
simple in the preparing. For no holi-
day should be entirely given over to
the preparation of the holiday feast.
Ice cream from the caterers is al
ways acceptable But II the cream is
to be made at home, here are two
good recipes that are not difficult to
make. and both OF which have 4
springlike flavor.
LEMON ICE CREAM-One quart Of
sweet cream: three eggs: three -fourths

bowl and then 'add the peel. Let the
mixture then stand an hour before

GETTING A START.
By NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, j.
DIPLOMACY.

II diplomacy were not an indispensable
asset. tho nations Of the earth would not
employ diplomats to handle international
questions.
While every man should be independ-
ent, while his mind should be under his
Individual control, and while he should
not tie his tongue or belt In his con-
science. 1t Is as necessary to know when
and how to say thing as it is to say It
AZ long as We remain uncivilized, COM
plete independence is impossible. mad
visable. and improbable. .
We are part Of a great composite
world. We mingle with men who think
as We do. but with more men who Think
as We do not. The road We travel is
rough and strewn with handicaps. We
cannot. do as We please. although we may
think as We please.
The policy of your house may be hon
est, and yet Numerically opposed to what
you believe Is good business. Unless you
have reason to think that you are strong
enough to change that policy, keep your
mouth shut
Wait. and strike when the blow will
tell. CHANGING blows bend the nail of
business and never strike 1t home
Perhaps friend of yours differs mate
rally from you, and it is a question of
opinion. not Of right and wrong. not Of
tho way he does As you have to think the
way you do. Don't argue with him unless
you know that It is going to do him good.
and don't argue at all except when you
have prospects Of success.
Do not misunderstood me- Do not think
that I believe one should give up his
ideas Of right and wrong. I am speaking
of those questions which are concerned
neither with right or wrong. To force
q man to think as you DO. when your
only reason Is your own reason. Is I'M
reasonable.
Use diplomacy until you are ready to
do away with IT. Diplomacy will carry
you farther than cratic argument or any
heavy blow when no blow IN necessary.
Be diplomatic.
II the policy Of your employer isn't
your policy. either accept his policy or
get out
II you think you arc unfairly treated.
don't put on tin amor. raise your voice.
and demand satisfaction. Work all the
harder. Be worth moro to your employ
or. If he doesn't recognize your labor.
get another place.
Use diplomacy first. Use diplomacy
second. Use diplomacy third. II it
doesn't work, try something else. always
remembering that there are two sides to
every question and that the fellow on the
side which you think Is wrong may as
honestly think that you are wrong.
Don't get into tho habit Of thinking
that your opinion Is the only one which
can be worth while. Probably the other
fellow has as much brain capacity as you
possess-possibly more. Respect others,
II you would be respected.
By and by. young man. you may throw
diplomacy to the winds, but not now.

YALE WILL BE
 REPRESENTED BY CAMP
At Annual Convention of IntercoIIegi-
 ate Football Rules Committee.

The veteran Walter Camp has been
 again selected as Yale'S representative
 at the annual convention of the inter-
 collegiate football rules committee,
 which will be held in New York city
 this week This annual announcement
 has been taken for granted for many
 years. but is rather unexpected at this
 tune because of the selection by Cap
 tain Alecl! Wilson of the Yale eleven
 several days ago of Prof. Robert Cor
 Win as the new fOotbal! member of the
 Yale athletic committee. MT. Camp
 has requested that he be relieved of as
 much of the routine committee work
 III connection with Yale athletics as
 possible, and it has been believed that
 Professor COrwin would succeed to the office held by MT. Camp for more than 9 years, Yale member of the intercol-
 IeSlate football rules committee.
 Captain Wilson, however, has sent
 Alr. Camp q request that he represent the university as usual, and MT. Camp mas agreed to take up his now historic work of construction and revision of football rules. As football rule builder MT. Camp has eXerted wider infiu- ence on the game than any other indi- Nidual. In 1883 when the game seemed likely to sink into disfaVor for want of 1 play which would bring system and organization into it. Mr. Camp pro posed and succeeded in securing the | adoption of the five yards in four i downs rule. This proved the salvation Ot the game. For 20 years 1t was the bulwark of football Nine years ago it was MT. Camp who took up the need of change and warmly advocated and finally induced the rules committee to adopt the 10 yards in four downs rule. For five years lEr Camp has just as ardently devised new rules to open the
 game. and as Yale advisor of football strategy he has rendered the university 1 invaluable service. Year by year he has been secretary of the rules com mittee, and his work in cod;fying and | revising pre rules has been recognized | by that body as impossible to dupIi- 1 cate. \ general cIamor went up when Mir. Camp retired from the Yale foot bali committee and rom the general athletic committee of the university, that he be retained as Yale member of the rules committee, and Captain Wilson has heard the call and answer ] ed it.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. l. - The Waterbury and New Britain clubs were dropped from the Eastern Baseball as- sociation at the adjourned annual meeting of the directors of that organ ization here today This reduces the circuit to a six-teaIn league, made up of Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and New London, in Connecticut, ana Springfield and Pittsfield, in Massa- chusetts.
 For several seasons past the Water bury and New Britain clubs have been losing ventures financially and today's action by the directors had been fore casted for some time Since the CleVe- land club of the American league With drew it's interest in the Waterbury club, unsuccessful efforts had been made to finance it locally.
 Manager William Scinski of the New Britain club had been endeaNorIng to transfer his franchise from New hF1t- ain to Northampton. Mass, which was at one time in the league, but his ef- forts it is understood, met with little encouragement in that city.
 The much discussed subject of pos sible consolidation of the Eastern as sociation and the New England league was dismissed by the directors with very brief discussion, as WAS the pro- posed invasion of New England by the Federal league. In regard to the question of consolidation, President James H. O'Rourke of the association reminded the directors that each Iea{1le was bound by 9 five-year work ing agreement, and any action looking to consolidation would require an unanimous vote of all the clubs of both leagues. He did not believe such a vote could be had
 Manager Scinski offered to turn over to the association the players now on his list in lieu of money which he owed to the association, and this prop osition the directors accepted. The players will probably be apportioned among the different teams of the asso- ciation Scinski, however, was allowed tc retain an option on the New Britain franchise in case. it was explained, efforts should be made at some later time to revive the club there.
 The directors also directed Sidney W. Challenger of Bridgeport, the off, ciai scorer, to draw up two schedules, one to run from April 28 to Sept. 6 and the other from April 2S to July 4, the latter to be used should the directors decide to try out the split season. plan this year.
