coarse MANURE or leaves. held in place
by brush. which also acts as a protec-
ton.
1t is n good plan TO make mounds
of earth about six inches high about
the base of rose bushes TO keep them
from mice. In some locations loose
brush and litter about the roots will
attract mice. who will make their win
ter quarters there and destroy the
bushes. An added precaution against
mice is to permit the ground TO freeze
slightly before supplying the winter
protection. IT is best not to protect
roses until after the first light freeze.
Climbing roses In the latitude OF
Philadelphia and further north need
no protection during winter except In
the case of particularly tender varie-
ties. Further north some varieties
need protection similar to that given
to tea roses. Climbing roses may be
removed from their supports and tile
branches covered with earth. Fall
trimming is desirable to shorten the
branches for convenience in handling.
All Of the rambling roses are hardy
in New York State as far north as
Buffalo.

DESSERT OF Merit
cHARLoTTEs EASY TO MAKE AND
WILL BE LIKED.
Sponge Cake the Foundation Of Dell.
eaey That Is Worthy Of Place
on Every Luncheon or
Tea Table.

Charlottes are easily made, and as
they can be varied widely, they are
worth serving often. The foundation
of a charlotte is case of sponge cake
filled with whipped cream.
Lady fingers or small sponge cakes
cut in two, or slices of sponge cake
cut in narrow strips, can be used for
the case. The sponge cake, in what
ever form, can be placed as q lining
TO glass dessert dish, or 1t can be
placed In individual dessert glasses.
Lady fingers can be split and piled
log-cabin fashion and the cream put
into them. Or the sponge cake can
be put around the sides and bottom
of mold and held in place with a
little liquid gelatin. When the gela-
tin hardens the cream is put in. vi
This combining gelatin and sponge
cake and whipped cream leads to
much variety. Lemon. orange, wine
and grape Juice jelly are delicious used
In this way.
AS for the charlotte filling Of
NhlpDCu Nitbili liibNs lOo, NdAi bt
ried. Stiff egg whites can be folded
into whipped cream to increase the
bulk and make the mixture lighter If
desired.
The cream should not be sweetened
too highly. 1t can be favored simply
with vanilla.
Candied fruits can be cut into tiny
shreds and mixed in the whipped
cream.
Orange pulp cut into bits can be
mixed with sweetened whipped cream.
Stewed figs can be cut into small
bits and mixed with the filling for a
charlotte.
Fresh berries of any sort almost,
especially Strawberries and red rasp-
peerless can be mixed into the cream
for charlotte russo.
A big sponge cake can be followed
out inside and the charlotte filling
piled into the cavity.
Many desserts have interesting his
tories. This is one of them. But no
body Is sure of its history. The
French claim that Charlotte de Med
lei either originated this dessert or
that it was named for her, and the
English say it is a namesake of Char
lotte, queen Of George III.

Cream Used by Romans.

A soft yellOw.sh-brOwn mass from an
ancient Roman vase discovered at
TicinO has been identified as toilet
cream by NJ. L. Reuter-, a French
chemist. A trace OF stOrax and tur-
pentlne odor remained, and examina-
ton showed 1t to be u mixture of bees
wax and fat, with the addition Of a
little storax and oil Of turpentine, and
the presence of tartrates suggested
that it had been macerated with wine.
A yellow color impaired to the skin
was attributed to henna.
