Custard may be made thick but
liquid to serve as sauce for other
preparations or may be baked firm.
When made without sweetening, 1T
serves as a substitute for meat and
when sweetened it will serve as a
desert. In order to prevent curdling
the custard must be cooked very
slowly. The following is a standard
recipe for custard: 2 c. milk, 2 or
3 eggs, "a t. salt and IA c. sugar.
Heat the milk, beat eggs with sugar
and salt until we'll mixed then add
hot milk. Cook in double boiler or
bake in dish or custard cups set in
pan of water. To test a soft custard,
lift the spoon from the mixture; II
the spoon is coated, the custard is
done. To test a baked custard. in
sert a knife. If it comes out clean.
the custard is done.
= Variations in serving custards pre-
sent several possibilities. For rice
custard, add / c. cooked rice and a
few raisins, chopped dates or some
preserved or dried fruits. For tapio-
ca custard, cook "a c. pearl tapioca
in the milk until the tapioca is trans.
parent. Beat the egg yolks, sugar ane
salt together. Add hot mixture slow
ly to egg mixture, return to double
boiler and cook until thickened. Re
move from fire, add beaten egg whites
flavor and chill.
Enameled or agate-ware in kitchen
utensils may be kept clean and smootl
by protecting it from ~,unnecessar.
knocks, acids and sudden changes o
temperature. An enameled KEITH
that has food stuck on it should no
be scraped but should be boiled wit
a little soda, washed in hot waite

ly.

 Although probably best remembered by Birmingham movie fans as the little crippled girl in "Humoresque, and more recently with Norma Tal- madge in Smiling Thru" Miriam will also be remembered by many for her part in such productions as Chris tie Cabanne's At the stage Door" and Beyond the Rainbow" as well as with George Arliss in The Silent Voice. and with Lionel Barrymore in Boomerang Bill" and in such suc- cesses as "The Good Provider" and The Curse of Drink"
 Distinctive Features corporation, encouraged by her superb work in .'Smilin' Thru" are seriously con sidering starring her. She is one of the three juvenile stars, Miriam Bat tista, Jackie Coogan and Wesly Barry. and is practically the only girl star of present-day and the more pop ular films.

 It was said today at the treasury that two nations have presented briefs of their fiscal conditions in connection with the debts to this country. The names of these two were withheld. however. Their state ments were being analysed by the commission, 1t was alleged, and would be very helpful when the ne- gotiations for the funding of the oo- legations were begun.
 Statements from the other debtor nations are expected by the commits sion. So far it was said nothing ofsi- cial of the debt question had been heard from Great Britain since the formation of the commission, all though the belief was expressed at the treasury that special mission to discuss that nations indebtedness might be expected at any time
 Meanwhile. It was indicated at the treasury, funding negotiations will be begun with France unless early activity develops on the part of Great Britain, who owes about $5,000, ,001 GOO of the total S11. .o00, 000,0 900 for eign debt to the United States.

sFOoLISH wIVES'' AT
 STRAND A MASTERPIECE

There are few of the so-called "stu- pendous" screen productions that match up to the billing but Foolish Wives" showing at the Strand thls week, Is one of the exceptions. In the loveliness of it's sets, the accu- racy of it's detail. the unusual charac- terization and absorbing interest of the story, it can be easily classed as one of the greatest of the recent screen productions.
 Every minor detail that makes the picture master production, has been worked out and the claim that it is the greatest. the most lavish, and the most costly ever brought to the screen. is seemingly borne out. The cost of producing was over a million dollars.
 .. The cast, every one an artist, in- cludes Maude George and Mae Busch, playing as two adventuresses, ac- complices of the count" Univer- sal star, Miss du Pont, plays the part of frivolous American wife, while the popular Rudolph Christiano cas. as her husband. Dale Fuller, maid Ceasare Gravina. once popular operatic star. plays the part of an old Italian counterfeiter with Malveen Polo, his daughter, s half wit
 Monte Carlo, the fashionable Euro pean gambling resort offers the same beautiful scene, the crowded walks. gorgeouslS attired travellers, the many nations represented by her army and naval officers. Expensive hotels, occupied by extravagant guests, lounging lazily about the courts. speaking at intervals to friends, as they pass in and out the resort. The casino filled with Mad dened men and women, eorgeously attired, enjoying every move of the gay life that is offered, where fortunes are won and lost in a single evening.
 So beautiful, the water carnival. boats decorated with lanterns that shine out from the night like huge stars, playing over the rustling of the waters. The pigeon shoot, an afternoon sport. with hundreds of guests, gathered to watch the ex- perts, as they show their unusual markmanship. The villas, sublime view, so pleasing are the architec- tual structures, much different from homes.
 Each scene makes Monte Carlo, as 1t is, the mecca of beauty. all these and many more have been used as backgrounds for this unusual story.

tie orphan. Motherless, fatherless and friendless. the little fellow might have found life pretty hard had it not been for the sturdy affection of his dog. This canine companion, which was the one bright spot in his lonely little existence, made life bearable. Later, the youthful derelict is adopted by kind young woman and had it not been that pop proved to be < drunkard of exceptional ability" Jackie would not have thought that. after all, life at the orphanage was not so bad. Before the end of the play the audience is acquainted with Jackie juniors ability as a lawyer when he makes manly little speech before the judge in an effort to ex- onerate his adopted mother.
 Trouble" is an appealing story with theme which is quite refresh ing and somewhat out of the ordi- nary. The way in which Jackie Coo gan handles the humorous situations, which are interspersed throughout the play, is the work of true artist.

 A couple of real comedians, Mardo and Rome, show unusual versatility in their offering, "A Collision of Fun" songs and bright dialogue fea- ture the act.
 Armstrong and the Gilbert sisters put considerable pep" in the per- formance with pianologue inter- spersed with singing and dancing. Their several offerings had the added attraction of originality and made a big hit with the audience.
 An act that drew the laughs from beginning to end was that of George Robey and Charles Gould. eccentric campaigns. They put their act over in such happy go lucky" style that it wins favor from the start.
 The opening number, comedy &C., robatic novelty by the Cliff Bailey duo, was very acceptable.

sFLOWER OF THE NORTH AIT AITAZAR

"Flower of the North" which is now playing at the Alcazar, is a screen adaptation of James Oliver Curwood's story of the same name. It depicts the life of the northern habi- tants and is a story laid around the Hudson Bay country. However. in this story, Curwood introduces more "civilization'' than do the majority of his stories.
 The scenes of the play are very pic- turesque and are laid at Fort O God. which Twas settled in the early days by group of exiled French noble men. Jeanne D'Arcambal, played by Pauline Starke, is the daughter of one of these settlers. She lives in soli- tude with her aged father and an old faithful servant, Pierre, half-breed. whose only thoughts are of his master and the beautiful young daughter. Jeanne's father hides deep tragedy from his child. who accepts his silence submissively, but always wonders why he has never mentioned to her the name of her mother. The old man keeps Pierre watching constantly over his daughter lest she fall into the footsteps of her departed mother.
 From the south" comes Philip Whittemore. with a large development company. Into each mans life comes at least one drama. one farce and a volume of narrative, and after Phil lips arrival at Port O God he experi- ences both the drama, the farce and some narrative in a series of inci- dents which form one of the most in- teresting stories ever depicted on the screen.
 Curwood's familiarity with codes and customs of the northmen enables him to depict their lives as they really are, thus adding much color and novelty which is generally lack ing in stories of this style.
