sELF-IMPRovEMENT ANNUAL
EVENT.

Again this Woman's Club, one of
the leading organizations of the West,
demonstrated their ability to cater to
the social side of life by inviting their
friends and supporters to their an
nual reception, which took place
Thursday evening last. AS usual, 1t
was a formal affair, the ladies, in the
latest costumes of various designs,
vieing with the conventional evening
dress of the gentlemen. After the re-
ception dancing was engaged in and
the guests departed at midnight with
the reluctance that accompanies the
enjoyment of good things. This or
ganization of number of years
standing has done much good in i'm
proving the general status of mem
bers of the community as well as
making their charitable works of last
ing benefit to humanity. Continue the
good work and be blessing to others
is the best wish of The Colorado
Statesman.

Pare and quarter enough sour, juicy
apples to nearly fill an earthen baking
dish, add to the apples half cupful
of hot water and nearly cupful of

flour, one teaspoonful soda, two tea
spoonfuls cream of tartar, one ted
spoonful salt, half cupful creamed
butter, one pint rich. sweet milk. Mix
soda, cream Of tartar and salt well
into dry flour, work the creamed but
ter into the prepared flour till fine
and yellow. Add milk to this mixture
and mold to a delicate dough. Roll
1t out an inch thick and fit closely
over the apples. Bake in moderate

somethlna Nice for Supper.

Here is a nice supper dish 1 made
from the remnants of a roast of beef ::
Chop or cut fine all the lean beef and
mince an onion fine. Put into bak-
Ing dish and cover with the leftover
gravy. Cook in hot oven about three
quarters of an hour. Have hot mashed
potatoes ready, remove dish from oven
and spread mashed potatoes over top.
Well season and return to oven to
brown. I served this dish one night
last week with hot biscuits, apple
sauce, doughnuts, pickles and tea and
I must say they did full Justice to it.
Try it some day.-Exchange.

dissolve; add to II four crushed macn-
rooms and q half cupful of milk and
sugar to taste. When nearly cold, beat,
and when about to set, add one cup
full of stlffly beaten cream that has
been favored with vanilla. Have ready
some little fancy molds, fill with the
mixture and allow to set. Turn out,
decorate with whipped cream and
chopped pistachio nuts.
Coffee Ice cream.--One cupful Of
black coffee, one pint of milk, one pint
Of whipped cream, one cupful of sugar,
four yolks of eggs, one tablespoonful
Of vanilla and a pinch of salt. Put
the yolks of the eggs with the sugar
and milk into a saucepan and stir
over the fire until thick. Strain and
cool; add the whipped cream, the cof-
fee and vanilla and freeze. Serve in
glasses.
Coffee Frostlng.-Add two table
spoonfuls of strong black coffee to a
cupful of confectioner's sugar; add
the whites of an egg, teaspoonful
each of lemon juice and vanilla ex-
tract; beat until thick.
Coffee Sherbet-Soften table
spoonful of gelatin with half cupful
of water; add two cupfuls of strong
coffee, one cupful of sugar and two
cupfuls of cream. Stir over the heat
until the gelatin is dissolved, strain
and cool. Freeze as usual. Serve in
sherbet cups.
Coffee as favoring for custard pie or
cup custards makes n desirable change
from the usual fiavoring. For cake
filling coffee may be used instead of
water in boiled frosting and poured
over the beaten whites of the eggs.
Coffee cream filling for cake, using
coffee instead of part of the milk or
cream for the liquid in the filling, Is
good.

 Destroyed. PERISCOPE IS SIGHTED Members of Crew Slept in their Clothes
 Ready for Any
 Emergency.
7ERISCoPE IS SIGHTED

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1S.-Hos- tile submarines lurked in the path of the liner Minnesota when that vessel left an Atlantic port for Eng land, and again as she returned, ac- cording to letter received here from H. H. Harris, purser. The Min nesota is said by shipping men to be the largest freighter afloat, and was recently transferred from the Pacific to the Atlantic trade, after extensive repairs.
 The purser's letter said that the Minnesota was conveyed across and back by two United States destroyers' and took the added precaution of sending out an air scout before leav- ing port, but despite these safeguards a periscope was sighted, and fired upon during the return trip.
 The members of the crew slept in their clothing for three days of the return trip and, in addition to repell- ing the submarine, they halted and boarded a vessel of unusual appear ance which they believed was a Ger. man raider, but found that their sus- picions were incorrect.
