BY Cable to The Star and the New York

PARIS, December 27-The moral
value of the Kellogg war remuneration
pact will be hurt if it is preceded in
passage through the Senate by the
cruiser bill, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of
New York, said in an interview here.
ut is a deep disappointment to me
that the pact did not become the Sen
ates Christmas gift to the world. The
United States Senate has done extraor-
binary things in the last decade in the
way of Withholding its support from
peace treaties. I cannot believe that
it will again deny the decent opinion
of mankind and reject this treaty,
which is the joint achievement of
France and the United States"
Rabbi Wise is sailing today for New
York on the Cunarder Berengaria after
visit to the Berlin meeting of the
Zionist Executive Council.

Marion started violently. and !
guessed that she was torn between
her reluctance to accept any favor
at the hands of her stepfather and
the alluring prospect of returning to
school by a smart motor car in
stead of by train. Mary, whether
Intentionally or not, gave her an
opportunity of pulling herself to-

"Oh. boy. aren't you the lucky
girl, Marion. Just think OF driving
up to the front door of your school
in that. III bet there won't be a

Marion took a deep breath and
looked at her stepfather squarely.

Troublesome skin diseases are

Cold Fruit
Suits Good
Especially Suitable for Hot
Weather.
(By Sister Mary)

I
A fruit soup is delightful begin
ming TO the hot weather luncheon or
dinner. A clear pool of rich color
is distinctly pleasing to the eye and.
combined with the faint fragrance
of fruit, tempts doubly.
Tart fruits are best suited to a
chilled soup which above all must
be piquant and stimulating, A
combination of fla,ors is good and
affords a variety of effects.
| The soups can be served in al
most any sort of container at hand.
Bouillon cups. chilled in the ice box.
sherbet glasses or grape fruit sets

with bouillon spoon.

even -four can be used for thicken-
ing, Care must be taken not to
make the soup too thick. is sticky.
firm connection is far from cooling
and appetizing.
The following recipes may inspire
you to work out some for yourself.
Cherry Soup
One quart sour cherries. 1 cups
water. y cup sugar. 1 tablespoon
cornstarch, / lemon. few grains of
salt.
Stem cherries and put into sauce
pan with water. Bring to the boil
ing point and simmer until fruit is
tender. Press through a jelly bag
heat in l cup of the juice. Strain
into juice and reheat to the boiling
point, Mix cornstarch and sugar
and stir in a smooth paste with a
little cold water. Stir into boiling
juice and cook is minutes. Add
Juice of lemon. Chill and serve with
three or four fine stoned cherries in
each cup.
Currant Coup
One quart red currants. 3 cups
water. x cup sugar. tablespoons
minute tapioca, few grains salt.
Steam and wash fruit Crush and
simmer in water for 20 minutes.
Strain through a jelly bag and add
sugar. Bring to the boiling point
and add tapioca and salt. Cook
until tapioca is clear and mixture IS
transparent. Chill and serve.
Two cups OF red raspberries and
two cups Of currants is a delicious
combination.
Plum Soup
One quart plums. 4 cups water, I
stick cinnamon. % cup sugar.
tablespoon arrowroot. few grains
salt.
Wash plums thoroughly. Put into
Kettle with water and simmer until
skins are broken and fruit is ten
der. Strain through jelly bag. Add
cinnamon and sugar and bring to
the boiling point. Add salt and stir
in arrowroot mixed to smooth
paste with a little cold water. Cook
until mixture thickens slightly. Chill
and serve.
Arrowroot can always be substi-
tuted for cornstarch and is more
easily digested.
Allow about 4 cup soup for each
person.
A few grains of salt take care of
the fiat" taste of cornstarch tapi-
oca or arrowroot
The tartness Of the fruit used of
course determines how much sugar
is needed, but the soup must be kept
tart.
