I1ors d dOeuvres and How They Were Named

And hors d'oeuvres these smart
bits before soup" are termed to-
DAY, even when you serve them
yourself at your table for six. Their
growing popularity now, due in
part no doubt to the increasing
number Of foreign restaurants in
this country, is especially marked
In the years since the war-the
doughboy brought back many
strange ideas!
of whatever the appetizers may
consist it must be remembered that
they are intended to stimulate and
not satisfy the appetite. They
must be tempting and smart in an
pearance and the portions should be
very small, SO as not to diminish the
enjoyment of the rest of the dinner.
The color and material of such q
dish should be in harmony with the
ether courses, and they may be
(and usually are) placed on the
table before the guests enter the
dining-room.

sTHE Institute recipe for currans

freshest taste out OF it by bo;l;nv
before and after adding the sugar.
We made it in Denmark witbor.

rant jelly to distinguish it from
French currant jelly, which was
boiled.
Only be sure the currants are me-
too ripe. Wash and stem them

of juice and sugar (the latter
warmed) are put over a low heat
and stirred with a silver spoon until
ali the sugar has dissolved and small
pearls form around the edge Of the
saucepan. It must not boil. Pow
into jelly glasses. We always made
a second grade jelly Of the renain

Fruit juice is always boiled befots
adding sugar to make jelly, but we
tried this non-boil method, using
equal measures, not weights, With
a resulting clear, quivering, de-
Iicious product. The taste was
fresher and there was larger guam
tity Of jelly than if the juice had
been concentrated to the usual half
Or two-thirds. Another old-tims

cause the name my mother called

leading, as it is not cheese, and !

Foolish, indeed, was any one who
would refuse this delectable dish.
If it must be named, the Institu.s
would call it 'lemon butter"
Into the upper part of a double
boiler put one-half pound butter,
the grated rinds of three washed
lemons, then the juice, two cup
fuls sugar, and break in six eggs
Set over boiling water and beat
with an egg-beater until it is thieS

McCUMBER BONUS IS SENATOR'S FAVORITE
Finance Committee Majority Endorses It, But Final Vote Is Postponed
 Until Next Wednesday

Washington, May 29.-The McCum- ber bonus plan commanded a majority In the senate finance committee today but formal vote was deferred until Wednesday to give senators additional time to consider some amendments that were suggested.
 Chairman McCumber expressed confidence after the session that his plan, which follows closely the house bill except that the land settlement feature has been eliminated would be approved and in this democratic mem- bers of the committee agree.
 Both the McCumber proposals and the Shoot proposition to give veterans paid up insurance policies in lieu of all other forms of compensation were discussed at some length at the com mittee meeting which was the first for discussion of the bonus to which the democratic members were ad- mitted. Senator McCumber pre- sented his proposal in detail and Senator Shoot explained his plan.
 The committee chairman said there had been no discussion of cash bonus, adding that there was not the money with which to pay cash.

 That It Accedes To
 Demands on Condition Teutons Get Loan
Contents of Answer Will Not Be Made Public Be. fore Tomorrow, Accord ing to Statements in Paris

Paris, May 29. (By Associated Press) reply to the repa- rations commission on the demands made by the commission in connec- tion with reparations payments was delivered at the office of the com- mission at $40 o'clock this after- noon.
 Although the commission planned to hold a session during the after noon. however, it was said the reply might not be read to that body to- day.
 No decision had been reached on this point Up to D. m. nor as to when the reply would be made public.
 Acceptance Reported.
 Unofficial forecasts of the answer were that it would accede to all the demands made by the commission upon condition that Germany be. granted an international loan
 The demands of the commission are those agreed upon in the recent negotiate here between the com mission and the German finance min- ister, Andreas Hermes. They include provisions for the virtual dictation by the entente of measures for the re- form of Germany's financial affairs.
 Loan Badly Needed.
 Advices from Berlin were to the effect that the Wirth cabinets deci- sion to abide by the results of Herr Hermes efforts here were dec1ively influenced by the prospect of securing the urgently needed loan and that the governments reparation policy will be sustained by the Reichstag.
 While the expectation was that the German answer would be in the hands of the reparations commission ry mitl=afternoon it was announced that it's contents would not be made public before tomorrow morning

TROLLEY co. MAKES
 CHANGE IN SERVICE
Berlin And Stanley To Francis Street Lines Are Again Made Into
 Separate Runs

The Berlin atld Stanley street to Francis street trolley Ines have again been made two runs, independent of each other. Superintendent F. L. Beardsley said today that it was found that the Berlin to Francis street line could not be operated suc- cessfully as d single run inasmuch as cars were often times delayed at the railroad crossing on Main street and traffic was tied up all along the line.
 One week ago Saturday the two lines were united and north end resi- dents were given a 20 minute trolley service throughout the day. Tho new schedule was carried out for one week hut it was learned that with the hin- drance of the railroad crossing and only one man operating car 1t was impossible 10 keep on schedule time.
 The trolleys nows operate to Berlin on a 20 minute schedule throughout the day and to Francis street on & 15 minute schedule in the early morn- ing and from noon until 7:37 o'clock in the evening. During the remaind- CT of the day the cars are operated on a half hour schedule. Both cars turn the loop at the Triangle.

TAYLOR IS OPPOSING
 PARK DANCE PAVILION
Preacher Says He Would Rather See His Daughters
 Dead Than Dancing

"1t has been reported that the ministers of the city are in favor of the dance pavilion on Walnut Hill Park. I want to say that l am very much opposed to it." said A. B. Tay- lar of the Peoples church last evening in a bitter denunciation of dancing ir general. l
 Mir. Taylor stated that he wished to compliment the men in the com mon council who have taken a stand against the dance pavilion.
 There are people of New Britain. he said who are asking what stand the ministers and church people are taking on the subject"
 1T, for one am against it because I know from experience what the dance has done. There are thousands of girls who go down to ruin every year because of the dance.
 When a girl is down, she is an outcast from society, but what of the man who put her there? If he is a graceful dancer there is always some fool hearted girl who has a mother with no brains to take up with him.
 T would rather follow my five girls to the grave than see them go on a dance floor, knowing what l know about the dance
 T am not asking the people of New Britain who are just out for a good time, where they stand on the ques- tion I am asking the Christian peo- pie where they stand" he concluded.
