Patronesses Named For Vassar Salary Endowment Benefit “Through the Looking Glass™ to Be Preaented at Knick- erbocker Theater on De- cember 15. “Through the Looking Glass,” Lewls Carroll's famous sequel to his im- mortal “Alice in Wonderland,” will be given In moving picture form under the auspices of the Vassar sal- ary endowment fun committee at the Knickerbocker Theater on Thurs- day, December 15, at 2 and at 4 p.m. The great photoplay of youth, “Alice in Wonderland,” has been followed by an equally wonderful motlon picture of “Through the Looking Glass," adapted and directed by W. W. Young, and Viola Savoy, whose portrayal of Alice in the “Wonderland” picture has delighted millions of people, is the star also in this dream master- plece. The story has been adapted with the utmost fidelity to the txt of h book. - As Alice's adventures in Wonder- land follow her _disappearance in her dream down the rabbit hole, so in the sequel equally strange ad- ventures follow her disappearance “Through the Lookig Glass,” realizing at last her desire to find out what might happen on the other side of the mirror. She encounters the Walrus and the Carpenter as they walked along the beach, and the Jabberwock, whiffling through the pulgey wood. With Alice, you can actually see Humpty Dumpty come to Mfe, born from a huge egg, and funny Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee fight their famous battle. In this novel motion picture are shown many strange insects of Look- ing Glass Land, the Bread and But- ter-Fly, the Rockinghorse-Fly. The Lion and the Unicorn fighting for the crown are there.

Pound some flour into both sides of a round steak, using as much as the meat will take up. This may be done with a meat chopper or with the edge of a heavy plate. Fry in drippings, butter or other fat in a frying pan, then add enough water| to cover it. Cover the dish very tightly, so that the steam cannot es- cape, and allow the meat to simm for two hours, or until it is tender. One advantage to this dish is that, ordinarily, it is ready to serve when | the meat is dome, 8s the gravy is al-| ready thickened. However, if a large | amount of fat is used in the frying, the gravy may not be thick enough and must be blended with flour. 0ld-Fashioned Sugar Cakes. Mix one-half pound of butter and one pound of sugar, add three eggs one by one and three teaspponfuls of lemon extract and one tablespoonful of rosewater. When this is beaten until light, add one cup of thick clab- bered milk and six cups of flour, sprinkle the cakes with sugar and bake on and floured tins. Cut with a cooky cutter. scraps to form birds, chickens and rabbits for the children. Make an eye of allspice in each animal cooky. I Cocoa Blanc Mange.
