Put alternate layers of spinach, eggs and crackers in buttered baking dish, finishing with layer of crackers, pour the milk over, cover with cheese and dot with butter. Sprinkle with a little pap rika and bake in a hot oven for 15 minutes.
 German cooks have a way of preparing spinach with lettuce and bacon. It is very tasty.
 Spinach, Lettuce and Bacon
 Shred one head of lettuce into inch strips; mix with one cup of chopped cooked spinach and one small onion, chopped. Place in a hot serving dish, season with salt. Try out one-third pound of chopped sliced bacon and drain from the fat. Sprinkle over the greens. Heat half a cup of mild vinegar, bit of sugar, one table spoon of the bacon fat and pour over the lettuce and spinach. Mix lightly with fork and serve quite hot. If more liquid is needed add a little more vinegar and bacon fat in the same proportions.
 Spinach is very good when cook ed with strips of bacon as you would use salt pork. Lay some of

Pour on milk sufficient to reach to the top slice of ham. Bake in a moderately hot oven forty-hve min utes or until the ham is tender. Pepper, if used, should be sprinkled between the layers of ham and po- tato. Because of the salt in the ham, added salt will not be neces- sary. Serve from the baking dish.

 Rings

Here is a suggestion for a quick canape made with simple buttered crackers-either salt or soda: Cut small green peppers crosswise to form rings and place on thin but tered crackers. Fill the inside of the ring with creamed pimiento cheese and garnish top with an- chovy filet, surrounding with beads of caviar.
 Or use the crisp round cheese wafers as a foundation for small pepper or pimiento rings; fill cen ter with chopped hard-cooked eggs mixed with lemon mayonnaise and garnish with criss-cross strips of anchovies.
 Or fill crisped green peppers with pimiento or cream cheese favored with chives. Slice in rings and place on round butter crackers. Garnish with slice of stuffed olive. Open oyster crackers and fill with anchovy paste, put back together again and place these nuts" at in- tervals on the tray containing the pepper rings.

FRUTT-DECORATED BAKED HAM

Another one of those delicious food gifts that would make an ideal choice is the oven-baked ham deco rated with glaced fruits. Slices of pineapple, green gage plumS, april cots, red candied cherries, orange and lemon peel and candied ginger are imbedded in the ham; spices stuck into the fat all around them, and the ham roasted as usual. It makes a most beautiful appearance and the fruit gives it added flavor. too. Imagine such ham trussed up in shinny cellophase paper and tied with a huge cellophase bow, then tucked into a fancy basket and presented to the old friend or relative with whom you've come to spend the holidays! Pleasant sur prise? Indeed, yes.

No other meat food lends itself to quite the variety of dishese as does ham. There are many ways of preparing ham besides the usual boiled or fried methods. These in clude delicious combinations in cas- serole dishes, creamed dishes, cro- quettes, sandwiches, salad, ham la King and baked ham. .e Here are some tested ham dishes sure to be popular: Casserole of Ham and Homiliy
 3 cups cooked hominy 3 cups white sauce
 IA cup chopped onion
 1 slice raw ham 1-2
 inch thick
 Butter a baking dish and fill about two thirds full with hominy, pour on the white sauce and sprinkle with chopped onion. Place the slice of ham on top, dot with butter and bake in a moderately hot oven un- til the ham is tender. This will re- ouire about forty minutes. Ham Ia King 1 cup cream l cup milk 2 tbsp. flour 2 tbsp. butter
 Salt and paprika ? egg yolks 2 cups diced baked or boiled ham 1 tbsp. diced green pepper, in season F cup pimiento cut in strips Make a white sauce of cream, milk, flour and butter. When well cooked, stir in the egg yolks, first adding small amount of the sauce to the yolks. Add the ham, green pepper, mushrooms and lastly the pimientos.

the bacon in the bottom of the saucepan, put the washed and drained spinach on top and lay more bacon over the top of the spinach. Cover closely and cook until both bacon and greens are done. Season with salt and pepper, if more salt is needed. Drain off the superfuous juice, chop the spln- ach and place in a mound m the serving dish, with the bacon strips around it.

WINE TEMPERATURES

When serving wines, remember that the white wines are to be served cold, but not ice cold. Plac- ing them in the refrigerator for two or three hours should be suff1- cient, or in pail of ice. Never put ice in wine.
 Red wine should be served at eel lar temperature, and not as cold az white wine. Champagne which is not of the best should be put in the refrigerator for day and then wrapped in a cooler packed with salt and ice. Put the bottle into the ice and twirl it around rapidly for a few minutes, but do not let it turn to sherbet. A fine vintage champagne is merely packed in ice without salt.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. April 2.-The best
opinion Of veteran business observers.
says the Berens Bulletin, lis still that
no worthwhile improvement will oc-
cur until after the summer"
Beginning after Labor Day, how
ever, business is expected to improve
persistently, and possibly will continue
upward through most OF 1889" the
bulletin declares in its weekly report
to private clients, continuing:
This longer-term optimism toward
the business prospects is based on a
firm belief that Roosevelt will stir up
business next year to influence the
1910 elections
Certain quarters which have been
pessimistic on business for more than
year and still see no immediate
turn, nevertheless make this predic-
ton: r.-.
There is very good chance that
1899 business may reach boom pro-
portions
so far the normal spring pickup
in business is very modest, and is in
evidence only in a few lines.
There is some satisfaction in the
fact that steel operations have crept
up a little. They will probably i'm
prove few more points. according
to steel officials, who forecast the re-

BY wireless to The Star.
LONDON. April Both the Sc

we're as much affected during the

dangers, apparently being contemptu-
Gus Of Mussolini's latest bellicosity
Realization that American industrial
recovery is likely to be slower than
hoped for has driven out all specula-
tive interests.
Prices in the London securities
market. with the notable exception of
gilt-edged issues, have made an order
ly retreat under steady selling pres
sure emanating from European
bourses, which. particularly Amster-
dam, were severely hit by the Wall
Street slump.
Large institutions, which usually
are tempted by such bargain prices
as those prevailing at present, are not
buying now on any scale, presumably
being deferred by the additional
enigma of the approaching budget.
Gilt-edged issues, however, held rea-
sonably well against steady selling in
mld-Week, stimulated at the close by
announcement Of surplus of f28,
100000 in the 1878 budget.
The investing public is not attracted
by the present low level of industrial
equities. for, though it is realized re-
armament will prevent major trade
recession, the present general uncer-
tainty must have checked new ex-
pansion programs for industrial pur-
poses and personal spending of a
capital nature. February retail sales,
showing "A per cent increase COM
pared with year ago, were without
effect. though the detailed figures show
a significant increase in the hitherto
EXCEPTIONAL depressed areas.

WHEAT DEPRESSED

Prices Hit New Seasons
Lows. on Forecast of
Big Winter Yield.
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

CHICAGO, April 2.-Tumbling al
most 2 cents a bushel after release OF
a private forecast predicting 1884,
100000 bushels winter wheat harvest
this year, wheat prices today fell to
new seasons lows, with some con-
tracts at the lowest quotations in three
years.
The bearish implications OF the crop
forecast issued by James E. Bennett g.
Co. more than offset as market in
fiuence conflicting statements regard
ing the probable damage, if any, in
hicted on growing wheat in the South
west by frost and freezing tempera-
lures. The Bennett prediction Of
754,54O000 bushels was larger than
any recent private forecast, and If
realized meant the largest winter
wheat production since the record
breaking harvest Of 10000, 900 BUSH
els in 1881. The 1887 harvest totaled
685 100000. Earlier this week an
other private expert issued forecast
suggesting q crop of 692 100000
An early advance of as much as

strength in stocks, A-3s higher
