Not only does the making of it early promote the luxurious feeling of being | prepared for the occasion, but such | preparedness adds to the culinary del- | dcacy of the Christmas cake. Two recipes are given today. One is an old-time recipe. The other is new, and includes many ingredients foreign to the early cakes. ©Old - Fashioned Fruit Cake. — Two OUR CHILDREN y Angelo Patri Pilfering. Pilfering is a common habit in early childhood. Little ones under 10 years of age are likely to show this trait at one time or another. Usually it is but the last traces of an ancient acquisitive- ness. We call it the crow age, because the child picks up little things that have no value for him or anybody else and stores them away. This sort of pilfering is easily managed. A few words of un- derstanding counsel settles the matter. Then along in the early years of adolesence the trouble breaks out again. Many children take money from their parents’ purses and pockets. When this happens the fir.. thing to do is to have the physical condition of the child investigated by the very best child ex- pert you can get. ‘Then study his home environment. Is he happy? Why not? Can you make him happy by removing the cause of his unhappiness? If you can, the pilfering ‘will very likely cease. It is often the indication of a childs unhappiness. Sometimes he longs to have something that you consider bevond his reach and yours. Clear that up if you meet it. Bometimes he is longing for an oppor- tunity to be important. If there are several children in the family. this one is usually the sup- pressed one. He never has a chance to shine. Maybe he is slower than the others, maybe the girl is not as pretty as her sister, or as gifted as her brother. ‘That starts this difficulty, too.

Herc's a pretty how-de-do: “Dear doctor: I am an old man, and | have never used tobacco in any form, but I have three boys who acquircd the habit with the rest of their high school education and are all trying to smoke their heads oft. “One day they took me on a visit to Bedloe's Island to see the Statue of Libeity. It was a Sunday and che elevator was not running. 1 wanted to g0 w the top, but the boys said, ‘Oh, o, father, 1t is altogether too much of a climb for you.' I replied, ‘forget that noise—let's go.’ “So we went up—and up—aad up, until we reached the point where we | could look upon the world through her | eggs, one and one-half cups sugar, one- | half cup butter, three-quarters cup | milk, two cups flour into which put | three and one-half teaspoons baking | powder and one-quarter teaspoon “"‘i spices and fruit. | The spices and fruit are indefinite in the old-time recipes. Then every | woman was supposedly a cook and could be relied upon to have good culi- | nary judgment. Today we take mno ' chances. So let me supply a basis of | quantities: One teaspoon cinnamon, | one-half teaspoon each of mace and allspice, one quarter teaspoon cloves (or less as this spice is very penetrat- | ing). one cup raisins, seedless or seeded, one-half cup well washed and | floured currants, finely chopped rind of | | one-quarter of a large orange peel, | | one-eighth pound thinly sliced citron. | Modernized CHristmas Cake chlp&—' Two €ggs, one cup sugar, one-half cup butter, one-quarter teaspoon ‘salt, two and one-half cups flour, one teaspoon soda, one teaspoon baking powder, four tablespoons molasses, three - quarters cup milk, one cup raisins, one-half pound stoned and chopped dates, six | figs cut into small pieces, one-half | cup each of thinly sliced citron and candied orange peel, one-half teaspoon each of mace or nutmeg and alispice, one-quarter teaspoon cloves. Make a cake batter from the creamed sugar, butter, eggs and one-half cup milk. Flour the raisins and currants after they are well washed.

Butter, one tablespoon. Raw egg yolk, one. Lemon juice, one tablespoon. Salt, one-half teaspoon. Serves Three or Four Portions. Peel cucumbers and slice fairly thick in crosswise slices. Wash, peel and cut mushrooms in small pleces and place with the cucum- bers in a small saucepan with the butter, Stew or saute on a slow fire until they are tender, then season with salt and lemon juice. Take from fire and while vege- table is still hot and just before serving stir in egg yolk. Diet Note. Recipe furnishes lime, , vitamins A, B and C. Egg yolk could be omitted, but it adds taste as well as much iron, vitamins and fat. If egg yolk were omit- ted, recipe could be taken by those wishing to reduce.

Try to change the situation so that the child can feel adequate, whether it is socially, { financially, practically, as in work. Give the child an allowance. Help and advise about its use, but allow the child to have the experience of spend- ing. If you can manage wisely, he will soon learn the meaning and the use of money. Guard your own attitude about money. If you leave your purse about the house carelessly; if you seem to spend money without thought; if you never know whether you had a $1.07 or $5.25, you are encouraging” a child in his disregard, in his ignorance rather, of money. Keep your purse where it belongs. Keep all money out of sight. Follow some system of keeping accounts, so that you are certain of the sum you had and what you did with it. When you make a purchase, do it thought- fully. When you can conveniently do 50, discuss the matter with the family and hear their opinions. Make spending money a matter of importance, fore- thought, care. Teach a child that money is the sym- bol of labor well performed. For every dollar in this country somebody worked and worked hard. If the child does not learn to respect work and its reward, he will not succeed at his own work. gin early. Teach the child to work. Let him earn and spend under wise super- vision. Try to keep him busy and happy. If you can do this, you can cure the most stubborn case of piifering. (Copyright, 1929.) SERVICE BRADY, M. D. i grownups.

C.8 8" There is ground for debate, among | the doctors, about the effect of moder- ate or temperate use of tobacco for “I didn't expect Fluff to take my come-back so seriously, but I guess there’s times when a defensive remark can be pretty offensive.” (Copyright, 1929.)

Dr. Bogen concludes that *“a sound individual mav bear what is for him moderate doses without injury, but even these are often noxious for the un- | sound or for other sound individuals. But the immoderate use of tobacco brings on a series of disturbances which are at first functional, then organic, and of which some are not without gravity.” My own arbitrary rule is that tem-- perate smoking means not more than three smokes in a day. It also means that the smoker does not require a smoke in work or play hours, but is content to enloy his daily smoke after “he day's work er play is over. | (Copsright, 1929.) Oyster Bisque.

These snubbers, which are_somewhere or other on a car, are really shock absorbers, although I like the snubby name better. T guess you see what or where I'm driving in this particular car today, be- cause the modern girl has to bump as many bumps as the average car, and she gets the same number of shocks in her springs. If she uses her snubbers, she'll be able to avoid the shocks which come her way. ‘Women are no longer the domestic animals of the Home Sweet Home period of our nation’s history. No, for they are out in the world and on the job. They rub elbows with men on the way to work and get a shock, at times, from some man who is hardly a live wire. There's where a girl needs to use her snubbers to avoid the shock and get her over the bump. ‘A man can endure a scolding on moral grounds, for he likes to think that he is looked upon as a trifle wicked, but a snubbing is something different. It hits his vanity which is more vulnerable than his con- science and leaves him flat. When a man’s approach is only in the form of a stare, return it; but when he looks at your face, direct your gaze at his feet. The act of looking down upon him as represented by the angle of your glance will prove a protective way of getting his goat, especially if his shoes have as little polish as his per- sonality. Don't preach to a man who is in a philandering mood but punish him with a barbed wire glance, for your eyes are pretty good snubbers in an emergency. You may lower your eye lids in modesty, but if that doesn't work, you shold raise your eyebrows in_scorn. The fresh guy with the car who offers you a ride can be snubbed by you if you ask him for his chauffeur's license. The stranger who approaches you along the line of eats when you are out for lunch gets a shock coming his way when you act as though he was a walter. Man is as vulnerable on the side of vanity as.Achilles was on his heel. If your “snubbers are working well can make him look ridiculous and that is fatal to his pride. ‘The genuine girl is friendly enough and not at all prudish, but she has a given amount of self-respect to save and she can do this best by the use of snubbers. We have all sorts of accessories to our cars nowadays—mudguards, speed- ometers, snubbers and the like. If you want to avoid shocks to your per- sonality, be sure- to have your snubbers In good working order. NANCY PAGE Candied Orange Peel and Chocolate Candied Peel. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. In_the box of delicious candy which Peter had sent Nancy on the sweetest day of the year were some chocolate covered strips of candied orange peel. Nancy experimented until she had a recipe of her own. She used peel from four average size oranges. She cut this off in quarters. ‘The peel was covered with cold water and slowly brought to boil. When soft, water was drained and saved. By using the sharp edge of a spoon she was able to scrape out the soft white lining. This was discarded. The re- maining orange peel was now cut into narrow strips. Nancy measured two cups of sugar. | To this she added one cup of water in which the peel had cooked. One time she dod not have a full cup of liquid, so she added water to bring it to the needed amount, ‘The sugar and water were eooked to soft ball stage, 238 degrees F. Now she adder the orange strips and cooked them slowly for ten minutes. She drained them in a sieve, When well drained she rolled them in a plate Most of this sugar was later shaken off. Nancy bought a pound of dipping of the double boiler. The temperature above lukewarm. The water never reach simmering stage. When chocolate was melted she worked it peel in, plece by piece. She was care- ful never to let chocolate get above 110 degrees F. This is just a little above lukewarm. The dipped pileces were put on paraffin paper until choc- olate hardened.

[DEAR MISS DIX—Two years ago, under great pressure from my family, and against my own desire, I married a man whom I did not love. My mother ! insisted that it was the best thing for me to do because I was a poor student | at college and I would be unable to earn a living for myself. Also that I | might never have another opportunity to marry, as I had no appeal to men. I | thought that perhaps 1 could learn to love my husband, or at Icast be content, but I find that his personality is such that it repulses me, and I am coming !'to actually hate him, although he is a good, kind man and I have no real cause of complaint against him. He senses my feelings toward him and also realizes that our marriage is a mistake and would not be made unhappy if I should leave him. I am only 22 and bitteriy unhappy. Of course my mother | would oppose my leaving my hushand, but I think I have taken enough advice from her already, don't you? V. L Answer: Certalniy your case sincuiG be a warning to parents not to inter- | fere in their children’s matrimonial affairs, and especially not to force a girl into | marriage against her inclinations. | { Nothing is more cruel. and nothing more pathetic, than the way in which | mothers try to marry off their daughters to men who Fave money, or who they | | think will make the girls a good living, irrespective of the girls' feelings in the | matter. Sometimes the mother will know that the man she has selected for her | daughter is actually repulsive to her. Often sie will know that the girl is mn | love with some poor chap, yet despite all this she will marry the girl to the man | with the longest pocketbook if she can, not because she is careless of her daugi- | | ter’s happiness, but because she believes that the dreams and romance of vouth | are poor things in comparison with a good home and a shopping ticket and a nice car. Such a mother would be horrified if you told her that she is nothing but a slave trader who is selling her daughter to the highest bidder, but she is no less than that, because she is bringing an almost irresistible force to bear on the girl. She is trading on her daughter’s affection for her, on her habit of obedience, on her childhood belief that mother knows best, and when she adds to these tears and entreaties it takes more force of character than most young girls possess to stand up for their inalienable right to marry the men they prefer to the ones mother has picked out for them. And these mothers who try to marry their daughters off to rich men are infinitely pathetic because their greed is seldom for themselves, they are grasp- ing only for their children. They know hard life is for the poor woman and they want to save their daughters from the penny-pinching and drudgery they have had to undergo. ‘They want their daughters to be able to live easily and have ‘pretty clothes and keep their hands white and manicured. They don't want them to have to toil and slave and cook and wash and iron for a house full of children as they have, and be old and with work-knotted hands before their time. And out of their own bitter disillusion about how short a time romance lasts and what a stern reality matrimony is, they say that in a year all hus- bands are alike, and then all that counts is the material comforts of life. But all the same the mothers are wrong. Even if love and romance do not always last, it enriches a life only to have had them for a month or an hour, and while a girl may not be happy with the man she marriss, even if she loves him, she is sure to be miserable if she is married to a man that she does not love. And in these days, when any intelligent, able-bodied girl can make her- self a good living, there is certainly no excuse for her mother forciag her into an undesired marriage. T seldom advise divorce, but in vour case I think it is the only solution of & most unhappy situation. You are only 22 and I do not see why you should pay with a lifetime of misery for a crime your mother committed against you when you were a child of 20, too young to-realize the mistake you were making. Certainly it will add nothing to the man’s happiness, because no situation could be more wounding to & man’s vanity than to know that his wife had been forced to marry him, and that she not only did not love him, but found him repulsive. So it seems to me far better that you should part than try to pro- ]on;{fi: marriage that is a mockery of everything that is sacred and holy about marriage. And it is folly to hope that you will ever feel differently, because to be associated with those who are antagonistic to us by nature does not promote love. It simply intensifies our dislike until they become unbearable to us. DOROTHY DIX. (Copsright, 1929.) Brave Women and Girls of History Marie Antoinette Calm Under Rifle Fire Apologized for Step- ping on Executioner’s Foot. BY J. P. GLASS. | “HE FOUND HER IN THE DAUPHIN'S APARTMENT, WITH THE CHILD IN HER ARMS.” In 1787 Marie Antoinette had become so unpopular that her portrait could not be shown at the annual exhibition | of pictures in Paris. Her interference in politics led to a climax on October 5, 1789, when a Paris mob marched to Versailles shricking threats against her. “They have come for my head,” said Marie, “but I have learned from my mother not to fear death and I shall face it with firmness.” She never knew another happy day. In this hour of evil portent, it was | she who tried to rally the spirit of the King's ministers. “I am not afraid of dying,” she told them, “but only wish the murderers would declare themselves.” Rifle shots, breaking the window panes, struck the wall close by the “You are happier than I. Mine have been flowing secretly for two years, but I am obliged to swallow them.” Her ordeal grew wors: and worse until the terrible hour after her trial when she heard the sentence of death. She received it without emotion, saying not a word. ‘When the executioner came to get her he was accompanied by a priest. “This is the moment to show your courage,” said the latter. “Courage!” exclaimed Marie. “I have long learned to have courage; be sure I shall not lack it today.” In the street the crowd greeted her with insulting shouts. “Alas,” she retorted, “my woes will soon end—yours are only beginning.

Continuing the discussion of original leads against a no-trump bid, when your partner has bid a suit, there are seven types of holding which the leader may have in the suit bid by his part- ner, and there are certain definitely established conventions for their play. The first of them is when holding a singleton of the sult your partner has bid.. The majority of authorities do not advocate leading the singleton, but prefer the lead of the fourth best from your longest and strongest suit, thereby indicating to your partner no assistance to help establish the suit he has bid. In other words, it is a denial lead, similar to a denial bid. The second is when you hold two or three cards of the suit bid by your partner, headed by “the 10-spot or a lower card. Always lead the highest and follow on each succeeding trick with the next lower card. This lead shows your partner your highest card and helps him play his own cards to the best advantage, because he then knows what high cards of his suit are in the declarer’s hard. For in- stance, your partner has bid 1 spade and declarer_ wins the contract at 1 no trump. If you hold the 10-spot, 6-spot, 3-spot, or any similar combina- tion of spades, lead the highest, and as the suit is played, play your high- est remaining card and on the third trick of this sult playing a still low- er card tells your partner you have no more. ‘The third is when holding four cards to the 10-spot or a lower card, the generally accepted rule among expert players is to lead the lowest. There are some authorities who believe in the lead of the highest, but the majority now seem to think the number-show- ing method, namely, leading low, tells your partner how many cards you hold, and that this is of more value to him than to know what your highest card may be. For instance, if your partner has bid a club, and the declarer 1 no trump, and you hold the 10-spot, 5-spot, 4-spot and 2-spot, lead the fourth best, which is the 2-spot, there- by telling your partner by this lead that you hold four cards of his suit. The fourth is when holding two cards of the suit bid by your partner, and one of them is a jack or a higher card and the other a small card, you always lead the honor. For instance, your partner bids one diamond and the de- clarer gets the contract for 1 no trump, and you hold the queen and 6-spot of diamonds, and it is your lead. You lead the queen, thereby telling your partner that you have only two of his_suit. The fifth is when holding three or four cards headed by the ace, the king, the queen or the jack, you should al- ways lead low. This is done so that you may be able to make an extra trick on a later round with your high card, which trick the declarer ahd ex- pected to take. The sixth is when holding five cards of the sult bid by your partner, and it is possible that your partner has bid on a four-card suit, or that the part- ner of the declarer has none of that ! Therefore, lead fourth best. For suit. instance, your partner bids a heart and the declarer wins the bid at no trumps, and you hold the jack, 7-spot, 5-spot, ::po'. lxlxg lfl-agot':h ws“.h this holding u would lea - the fourth best. i el The seventh is a situation which oc- curs occasionally, that is, if you hold three or four cards of the suit bid Queen.: M. de la Luzerne sought to pro- tect her with his body. She beckoned him away and when he pretended not to see her, said, “I thank you, but 1 will not allow you to remain here. It is not your place, it is mine.” Shouts arose from outside: “We wish to see the King! We wish to see the Queen!” Marie, with her little children, step- ped out on a balcony, declaring: “Should it be to my execution, I shall go.” But the mob screamed, “No chil- dren! No children!” So she sent them back in and stood alone. The royal family was taken to Paris l'and lodged in the Tuileries. Marie Antoinette from then on was the steady target of insults and indignities. But she ever played the great woman and the queen. she accidentally stepped on the execu- tioner’s foot. He swore; she apologized. Kneeling on the platform she prayed, “Oh, Lord, enlighten and move those who do me to death,” and then hur- ried to the guillotine. She died so nobly that she effaced recollection of many of her faults. (Copyright, 1929.) Cheese in Peppers. Cook four green bell peppers in boil- ing water for five minutes. Remove from the water.
