Raisin Sandwiches

Kindly publish recipe for raisin sandwiches. One gets so tired of the everlasting procession of ham, tongue, lettuce. and cheese sandwiches Yet now that afternoon tea has become an Amer ican institution we must have sand wiches. DEBUTANTE."
 Chop fine one cup of seeded raisins together with half cup of walnuts. Mix with little cream or white of an egg. Season with salt and spread be- tween thinO Olices of crustless bread. This Is the simplest and to my taste the best form of the delicacy. It is especially nice when made with graham bread. If you are looking for an agree able variation upon the routine of bread and butter and sandwiches served at the conventional afternoon tea, let me suggest what holds an honorable place upon my own tea tray and is univer- sally liked by visitors: Cinnamon toast-Cut slices of crustless stale bread into oblongs an inch wide and three inches in length. Toast them delicately and quickly, and butter at once. Have ready fine sugar mixed with one third as much powdered cinnamon, and sift thickly over the hot buttered toast. Pile upon hot plate and set in the oven until you are ready to serve them. The chief knack in preparing this dish to be quick with each stage of the pro- cess. If you have an electric toaster the work is easy. In any case, toast butter and sift rspidly. and serve piping hot. "

 ''Yes, it is worth while. with interest compounded,
 After you have looked upon some of the healthy hopeful children among us, we wish you could hear how earnestly their good mother expresses her heart and soul appreciation of the orphans fund and the courteous, brotherly consideration of the members of the order for the best welfare of herself and children.
 Without the aid of this quiet. unosten- tatious fraternal charity the mother and children would necessarily have been sep arated and with ghat results God only could divnel
