Bertha NJ Lei0isin a quandry as
to a subject that will be of inter
est to all housewives.
Someone has raised the discus
sion as to the perfect housewife.
Is there such a creature? Of
course there is the ideal housewife,
and it is not hard to enumerate
her qualities, but as to the perfect
housewife, that is somewhat of a
controversial topic. However, we
wont open a forum on the subject.
Our thoughts have been turning
towards buildings, and after read
ing the Market Basket released
by the u. S. Bureau of Home Eco
onmics we decide the contents
worthy of reprinting, as follows.
Many a successful meal planner
finds the weather a source of
menu inspiration. Hot summer
days call for lighter foods and
frozen desserts. Fresh green's pre-
dominate in spring meals. And it's
during the cold days of midwinter
that stuffings and buildings taste
best.
served hot, are among the most
filling of all desserts. But in this
respect as well as in other ways
there is considerable differences
among the relatives of the pudding
family.
There seems to be little in COM
mon between the spicy plum pud-
ding and the unpretending bread
pudding between blanc mango
and up-side-down cake. Both the
family resemblance shows up
clearly in one feature. They are
all bound together by some kind
of cereal product.
The binding material in some
buildings and other batters with
fruit incorporated, either steamed
or baked, belong in this class. So
do cottage buildings, which are
plain cake served with a fruit or
other kind of sauce. Up-side-down
cakes are batter and fruit COM
bined in a novel way.
Other buildings are mixtures of
soft consistency held together by
starchy substance such as rice,
tapioca, oatmeal, flour, or corn
starch. These are cooked on top
of the stove or in an oven.
Steamed Puddings
Similar to plum buildings, but
easier and quicker to make are
the steamed buildings with a but
ter cake foundation Chopped
dried apricots, cranborriaJ, or
other fruit are mixed with two
Tablespoons or SO of flour and
added right at the last.
Put this mixture into a creased
mold with room for the pudding
to expand as it steams. Cover the
mold lightly so the moisture that
condenses on the steamer lid will
not fall into the pudding.
Such buildings take about two
hours to steam. They are served
hot with a sauce and can not be
kept over the way a plum pud-
ing can.
Some Puddings Need Sauce

Local Quartette
At Olympic Hotel

The Deacon Jones Quartette,"
an aggregation of local singers
have been appearing regularly at
the Olympic Hotel before lunch
cons, for the past three weeks.
This group of singers have lived
up to the heritage that is theirs
from such old time favorites, as
Ace Brooks, Joe Faulkner, and
others who were members of the
original Quartette, many years
ago.
Today the ensemble is COM
posed of Leroy Bundy, Alex Irwin,
Chauncie Jameson, and Rem
Smith, who is also a talented pi-
anist.

Some buildings are complete in
themselves. But others taste best
served with sauce. With steam
ing hot plum pudding, hard sauce
made from butter, powdered sugar,
and flavoring is perfect. Or a
liquid foamy sauce is suitable.
Bread or rice buildings are good
with cream or a maple sauce.
Plain or whipped cream often tops
the cornstarch mixtures. It's all
matter of your own favorfte
combination of flavors.

or other live bait, under any and
all circumstances favorable to the
taking of any other fish.
The large-mouth black bass is as
abundant as the small-mouth spe-
cies, but prefers lakes, bayous, and
sluggish rather than running waters.
1t is found from Canada southwark
even into Mexico. It averages in
length one to two and one-half feet,
and in weight two to eight pounds.
Its color is dark green above and
silvery below, the young having
broad blackish band on the sides
with dark spots above and below it.
It is called in various places by
many different names, as Oswego
bass, straw bass, green bass. bayou
bass, green trout and club. It is
almost as game fish as the small
mouth. Its specific name "sal-
modes" (Latin salmo, salmon and
Greek eidos, like) was given it
from a fancied resemblance to a
salmon.

on, ''If you've read the papers, you
know that the Medical Examiner
found a reason why she might have
been killed." And he added hurried

in August. Mr.. Sentry was away
at the same time. His Office had
his address, but they tried to get
in touch with him during those three
days and couldn't."

The general rule for telling the
difference between a small-mouth
and large-mouth bass is that the
mouth Of the small-mouth does not
extend beyond a point below the
eye, while the mouth Of the large
mouth does extend back of the eye,
according to a writer in the Indi-
annapolis News. The small-mouth is
found in most clear-running
streams and clear cold lakes from
the st. Lawrence river to Dakota,
and southwark to South Carolina.
1t varies in different localities, but
at maturity is usually one to two
feet long, with a weight of two to
five pounds. The adult is generally
olive-green, often darker on the
head. It has the arrowy rush of the
trout, the untiring strength and bold
leap of the salmon, while it has a
system of fighting tactics peculiarly
its own. It will rise to the artificial
fly as readily as the salmon or the
brook trout, under the same condi-
tons: and viii take the live minnow,

Alexander Dumas, flls, was the
natural son Of the noted novelist
and a seamstress. The mother
brought up her son carefully and
early he attained a wide and cul-
tured education. Taunts from his
playmates Swallowed his child
hood with unhappiness.
The younger Dumas was versa

talents, but one quality ran

a refOrmer. Most Of his works

sonable young man could hardly
talk for weeping. He wanted to
buy back the book, Manon.
After much weeping, Duval told
the story of the Lady Of the Camel
las.
Marguerite Gautier, outstanding
among the lovely women in Paris,
had as her favorite flower the ca
mellia, which she wore the year
round in preference to all other
flowers. From the time that Ar
mand first saw her, his life was
not the same. When he obtained an
introduction to her, he was so over
come that he made very silly inn
preston and for two years he made
no effort to see her again. At one
time she was i'll for two months,
and he went daily to inquire about
her, never leaving his name.
Marguerite Is Consumptive.
Finally he arranged to meet her
again. When she learned that it
was he who had come daily for two
months, she was interested and in
vited him to supper. He knew al
ready that she was consumptive.
Marguerite had never seen any,
one pity her so deeply and she was
touched. When Armand told her
how much he loved her, she ex-
planned that her mode of life was
lavish, that she spent 100,0 900 francs
a year. But no arguments pre-
vailed against their mutual attrac-
ton. Marguerite loved Armand.
AS spring came, she suggested
that they leave Paris and take a
house in the country for the sum-
mer. This plan seemed idyllic, and
proved to be so. For six months
the lovers were happy. Then came
a message for Armand to meet his
father in Paris.
The interview between father and
son was stormy, but neither gave
way to the other. The next day
Armand called again to see his IA
Their but found him out. Return
ing to Marguerite he found her in a
state Of agitation worse than he
had believed possible. She gave him
vague reasons and wept contin-
uously. The next day she urged
Armand to 60 once more to see his
father. To please her, he did so.
Marguerite Disappears.
Late in the evening when Armand
returned to the country, he found
the house dark. Frantic, he found
that Marguerite had gone. A letter
stated that their relationship had
been lovely, but it could not last.
Armand was wild. He would show
her! Back in Paris he went every
where that Marguerite went, he
gambled and lived recklessly, TAX
ing every occasion to insult her.
Marguerite fed from Paris.
In her exile, the Lady Of the
Camellias knew that she would soon
die. Longing for Armand she wrote
him each day, but did not send
the letters. She gave instructions
that when she was dead these let
tiers with one other should be sent
to Armand.
On returning to Paris, Armand
learned of her death and received
her letters with one from his father
to Marguerite in which Armand's
father had implored Marguerite in
the name of her love to give up his
son so that the family name and
future would be untarnished. The
unfortunate letter had used every
means to win her to the idea that
she would be doing an heroic deed in
the name of love.
