Fruit Tarts.

These are made of the finest puff
paste moulded into different shapes.
The filing is of the fresh fruit covered
with sugar, so that it bakes in it's own
syrup. 1t may be glazed by adding a
teaspoonful of any good, clear jelly
which will melt over the top.
Unless one is an adept in the hand
ling of French pastry, like Napoleons,
tiny cream filled and frosted cakes,
nougat sticks, etc, no amount Of recipes
will avail, as they come perfect only
from the professionals hands. But the
simpler recipes given above will be
found to cover nearly all requirements
of the ordinary family's needs for this
purpose.

as an institution; the limit in num-
bers is twelve children. who stay from
six weeks to three months. The head
is a house mother.
Our first aim is to get the children
well and strong, permanently so, |
mean, for just mere little improve
ment in health doesn't last them
through the season, in their slum con-
dition. Then our next aim, and really
our fundamental aim, is to show them
the true spirit of helpfulness in fam
lily life, to give them some impression
of their own little duties to their fam
lily, to correct false notions of their re-
lation to the rest of the world, to make
Of them true little members of society.
But, as | say, first we feed their stom-
schs and cure their ills, then gradually
come the other things.
Eve make great point of their in
dividual responsibility, not only for
themselves, but for the other children.
They try to help each other to be good,
and that way everybody's good finally,
even when they are gang or a band
of hoodlums.
The Seed Is Planted.
"Of course, we should not have ac-
complshed much if after they left they
returned the same abnormal children
that they were before. But they don't.
Their whole idea is to go home and
show their mothers what they have
learned. There was one boy who had
been such a nuisance around the house
that his mother was nearly distracted.
But when he came home she said this:
Sure, and you ought 10 see my Mickey.
Fat he is that, and, what is more, he
washes me dishes and tides up the
room. Helpn' his mither is mans
work. they've taught him And 'helpin'
their 'mithers' goes long way in the
life of those people. whose ideas OF
doing for one another so often means
that one member of the family does
everything and the rest do not do their
share.

and very well acted. But as it's not
of q popular type (the eternal young
love story, you know it may fail to
attract the usual play-going public
Don't you think that you'd be likely
to make an effort to see that play
rather soon? Well, we find that that's
exactly what happens. People do make
such an effort, and many good play
has been saved in this way, and mana
gers are being given more and more
encouragement to put on better plays.
Besides organizing the people who
have always wanted good plays but
haven't been able to get them because
their demand was too scattered, the
Drama League is helping great many
people to develop their ideas about
the drama.

Drama Discussion.

Groups of people meet in public
library buildings to discuss plays. The
league sends leaders to these groups
TO conduct the discussion if the peo-
pie want them. Some OF the leaders
are playwrights who want to get the
peoples point of view at first hand.
Some are actors, some teachers.
"a group decides what play to see
and then announces that at its next
meeting this play will be discussed
In the discussion each person acts as
critic of the play and of the others
opinions.
| "By degrees the individuals come to
some agreement as to what constitutes
a play worth seeing. Thus high stan
dards of taste are developed.
I "The popularity of these discussion
groups is growing. New ones are being
formed Their influence is spreading.
Before long believe that it will be as
+ difficult for poor plays to succeed in
New York as it has been for good ones
/ in the past"
Good luck to the Drama League in its
energetic attempt to rouse the dramatic
intelligence of the community. be-
] lieve that there are at least million
people in New York who stay away
from the theatre from sheer fear of
being bored to death. Yet we ali
adored plays when we were children
! and adolescents. We made extrava-
CANT sacrifices to be able to 20. but
now we have grown up, and the theatre
/ hasn't.
The problems presented in the aver
/ age play we've all seen solved thou
sand times. The problems we meet in
our own lives have the tang of novelty
and the excitement of suspense.
Life More Interesting.
l find my own everyday life a great
deal more stimulating than the theatre.
But incidents in my friends lives are
often of surprising interest. It's not
because my life is more interesting
than other peoples that the theatre
bores me, but because most plays are
less interesting than most peoples
lives. So million or more Of us stay
at home, waiting for the playwrights
to wake up.
