THREE FIFTEEN
 CENT DESERTERS
(By Biddy Bye

Tn endeavoring to economize on
 food many families have thought it
 necessary to eliminate desserts as ex- travagant.
 This is a mistaken idea as des-
 serts are as much a part of the meal
 may contain as much food value
 as the main course and should not be
 considered an ADDITION to the meal
 but merely be planned to furnish
 their share of the balanced menu. And desserts are not necessarily eX-
 pensive. Here, for instance, are three
 good ones suited to summer menus, each planned to serve five persons at
 total cost of about ) cents.
 Dutch Apple Cake-Sift together 2
 cupfus of flour and 3 teaspoonfuls of baking powder, tablespoonfuls of
 sugar, and 1 teaspoonful of salt,--ali
 measurements level. Cut in with a
 knife 3 tablespoonfuls of butter or
 olea, and add gradually 1 egg, well beaten into 2-3 cupful of milk. Mix
 the ingredients with a plated or silver knife. Put the dough on a foured
 board, roll out as for biscuit, and put
 in a greased and foured shallow pan. Pare, core and quarter five medium sized apples, slice thickly, and press the sharper edges of the apples into the soft dough, arranging the slices in parallel rows. Sprinkle all with sugar and bake until cake is done
 and apples soft. Serve hot with a plain lemon sauce.
 Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding Heat 3 cupfulS of milk in the double boiler. Mix together tablespoon fuls of cornstarch, 1-2 tablespoon fuls of cocoa 5-8 of a cupful of sugar, and 1-2 teaspoonful of salt. Rub to a smooth paste with 3-4 cupul of cold milk Add the mixture to the hot milk slowly, stirring constantly to prevent Jumping. Cook in the double boiler for 20 minutes. When done add 1-2 teaspoonful of vanilla, and pour into a chilled, wet mold. Chill and serve with sweetened cream or 1 a thin custard.
 Baked Custard-Beat 3 eggs slight 1 ly and add 3-8 of a cupful of sugar, | cupfuIs of milk and IA teaspoon l ful of salt. Pour into greased pud- 1 ding dish or individual molds and l sprinkle tops with powdered cinna-
 mon or grated nutmeg. Set in a pan l of hot water and bake slowly until 1 custard is firm. Do not let the water 1 around the buildings come to a boil l during the baking. Serve very cold.

FOX'S THElATILR.

Rose of the West,' the absorbing five part Fox feature in which Mad lainc Traverse, the popular emotion al star has the leading role, will be seen at I'ox's theater for the last time today. The presence of a well de- VelOped mystery, together with an accurate depletion of the true North western atmosphere combine to make this picture one of the most exciting and realistic that New Britain has been favored with in some time. The story is unfOlded of the dramatic tribulatiOns of Rose LaBelle, a woman of the Canadian nOrth-WoOdS, sup posing her worthless husband to have been killed, yields to the persistent entreaties of the head of the mounted police to become his wife. At the crucial moment her husband turns up. His efforts to betray his own daugh- ter into the hands of a prof1igate neighbOring WOOdsman, the thrilling means by which he is thwarted, and the final triumph of right and love are among the ingredients of this cOmmendable film.
 Charlie Chaplin is another attrac- tive feature of the program. The funniest man in the world is seen in one of his most hilarious comedy hits, called ''Shanghaied," and he performs many Imaginable antics as the innocent land-lubber who Is in nocently enticed on board a sea- going tug, and encounters many ri- diculOus adventures before he sees dry land again. Another comedy of merit is Billy Blazes, Esq.,, in which Harold Lloyd enacts the role of a burlesque Western bad man, assisted by Beebe' Daniels and a galaxy of beauties. Other subjects include the Pathe News, and Topics of the Day. Four acts of exceptional vaudeville complete the show.
 The feature for the last half of the week will be The Sneak" with Gladys Brockwell in the featured role, that of a Gypsy adventures, who undergoes some thrilling experiences A new Fox Sunshine comedy will also be on the bill, as well as a con- plete change of vaudeville attractions.

| 1 read the words again, SmiliuG Whimsically at the eternal boNishneS! in Kenneth Stockbridge, which had prompted that sentimental inscription
 across the pictured preSentmCnt of the woman he loved.
 Yet how it fitted her! Words That Fitted. From almost my first meeting with Alice Holcombe, I had discovered that inside the sharp armOr, almost Htcf- ally of thOrns of speech and manner, glowed the sweet, fragrant rose-heart of an affectionate sympathetic woman. Yet I knew that ninety-nine out or one hundred of the girls aquaintanes
 would have hooted with derlslve laughter, could they have seen this
 eminently true characterization of
 her.
 I felt sudden, swift anger at Ken l. meth Stockbridge's boyish shortsight- edness in leaving this sentimental record where there was even the slightest danger of it's being found. Then I remembered the large legal looking envelope 1 had seen in Mllly Stickbridge's vandal hands, and with swift fingers and eager eyes began to search for it.

 the school records, I walked slowly,
 thoughtfully, up the stairs to the as- |sembly hall.
 Should I tell Alice Holcombe what 1 had found?
 My Puritan training gave me a de- cided "No." My inclination, my sym pathy for my friend, urged the affirm alive. But by the time I reached the top of the stairs my conscience had won.
 I had no right, I told myself, to be-
 tray the confidence Kenneth Stock
 bridge meant Alice Holcombe to
 know only after his death.

Dear Lovely La dy:

 Dear Lovely Lady:
 "I found it irksome to leave Sc abruptly, but a wire from a publisher commanded my presence in town early in the morning.
 "In search of you I went but shrank from goodbying in the pres ence of that solemn-faced stranger who was beside you on the porch. 1 There are times when what one cares 1 to say, though poor at best, would be 1 hopelcssly bungled before a third 1 person.
 'I wanted to tell you that certain weary soldier whom I know is grate- full for your goodness and warmly appreCiatiVe of your sweetness and light. Just now, in taking something from his pocket, this soldiers memo randum book Kicked out and fell, open-paged, to the floor. The page bears simply datc-June 27-and two initials-D. V.-which might stand for the Latin meaning God Wiling
 'I think however, that the soldier made that entry as a man sets down the memorandum he wished to learn more of D. w. Look up so-and-so-.' I believe and I know that he sorrows now because Fate hindered him.
 Until we meet again,
 Yours faithfully,
 ERIC WALLIS"
 Joan dear it can mean nothing, or everything. Clearly he was not hurt by my yesterdays mood at Sunset Point And clearly his going was not induced by any treatment, of mine. Equally clear is it that his gently dropped "dear' might have been use1 toward his sister or his nurse!
 I slept badly, woke early and went down to the beach for a swim, sol- tarily, before even the Inn servants were astir. The surf was rough and ugly, but I was too taken up by my own thoughts to notice particularly.
 I dove in and struck out with all my strength. It was a joy to fight som mething, to feel at least, my phy- sical power.
 Presently I got the impression that I was not moving forward. I strove harder. Still no progress. An awful fear clutched me as I strained and strained, the waves breaking into my face, my breath nearly beaten out oH my body. The undertow that I had been warned against * %i

once, twice, again, with all my strength-and then felt myself swal- lowed into darkness and horrible silence
 When l came alive again I was on the beach with all the people in the universe standing around. By rights there should have been an Apollo millionaire bending drippingly above me gasping, She breathes-thank- gaWd!"
 But nothing like that, dear. It was the lifeguard who saved me, and he was working my arms most unro- mantically, having come on duty just in time to catch my third-time squeal. So he dashed to the rescue as a life guard should. Feeling too done up to write more.
 But always lovingly,

The seventh week of the Cormican Players finds them presenting to the usual patronage that everlasting suc- cess '"The Rosary" Last nights various sentimental and comedy scenes, and rapturously applauded the heroic passages not forgetting to hiss the bad man in the play. The good natured priest, Father Kelly, came in for considerable commenda- ton, and MT. Hutchinsons portrayal of him left nothing to be desired MT. Morgan, the new leading man has all ready established himself as a favor ite, by his manly mpersOnation of the hero, Bruce Wilton. And Miss Van Wa1dron, in the dual role of the sis ters, has again demonstrated her cleverness and fitness in emotional characters.
 The Rosary will be the bill for the balance of the week, with a mat ineo tomorrow ana another on SatGr- day.
