As many of the sisters ask mo for
various fillings for layer cakes, I will
send a few that I have found very sat
isfactory. Many good cako recipes
have already beon published, any one
ot which, If baked in layers, will do for
these fllllngSi .
Lemon" dream Filling Grated rind
.and juice of one lemon, one cup of su
' gar, half cup water, one heaping ta
blespoon flour,, small piece of butter
and a vey small pinch of salt. Beat
two eggs light and mix the flour into
a batter; pour Into the beaten eggs.
As soon as the rest of the ingredients
have come to a boil, set on the back
part of the stove and stir into it very
quickly; stir vigorously the eggs and
continue to stir until the mixture
comes to a boil nnd thickens to the
consistency of jelly. Spread on the
cakes when partially cool.

half cup boiling water, white of one
egg beaten dry and stiff, one cup rai

One Girl's Way of Managing a Lover.
A news item tells of a girl who
jumped Into a river because her fiance
whom she was trying to persuade to
grant a certain wish refused to do so
Of course, he promptly jumped In
after her, and pulled her out. The
news Item ended by saying a recon

If; on tile olltel' lituitr, to give the
girl the benefit of a doubt, she did
not do it from the purely selfish de
sire to gain her poliu, but becnuse he
was so obstinate, there was no other
way to make him yield, then it would
have been better for her to break the
engagement than to resort to any
such methods. If she has any spirit
whatever, marriage with a man as
obstinate as this would indicate noth
ing but misery for her. She can't be
jumping into rivers forever. It would
get monotonous. Besides it would
lose its force. Tlym, too ho might
not always jump in after her, and it
would be exceedingly humiliating to
have to rescue one's self.- But look
ing at It seriously, any woman with
a spak of self-respect must despise
herself for having to resort to this,
or similar methods to obtain that
which' is rightfully hers. A marriage
in which such methods are necessary
can" never be happy.
If such serious disagreements arise
in courtship days tlinlt such high
handed measures are necessary to
win one or the other over, the two
had' better tako reason by the hand,
and walk a little way with her before
they proceed to the marrying altar.
Saying a few words at tho church
chancel, and marching down the aisle
to the tune of the wedding march are
not going to change human nature.
If love, which means the utmost con
sideration for each other, is not the
basis of marriage, then trouble Is
ahead for both. For no condition in
life opens , the door quite so wide to
tho bitterest misery as an unhappy
marriage. And it is more honorable
for either party to break tho engage
ment than to go forward to a mar
riage in which tho one and only rea
son for it is absent love.
Wo see fringes on skirts, tunics,
teashes, collars, cuffs and hats.
Many jackets of ser1;o, cheviot and
corduroy show the belted effect.
Most of the skirts for evening have
small trains.
Mack velvet ribbons are much used
for trimming.
Many largo velvet hats with turned
hp brims are seen.
Lace Is much used on ruffles on
skirts of evening frocks.
Dark blouses are trimmed with
white moussellne do solo.
Many of the newest evening coats
arc made with a single scam.
Tho new horn buttons rimmed In
contrasting color come in a variety of
combinations.
Machine stitching is very popular
on skirts and coat suits of cheviot
and English suitings.
Fur is used more extensively than
ever to trim dresses intended to wear
without a wrap.
Charmeuse continues to be tho fash
ionable fabric for afternoon wear. The
favorite trimming is silk fringe.
Paris has elected the huge, flat,
simply trimmed hat of black velvet as
the reigning favorite of the season.
Tunics are longer at the hack than
the front, nnd elaborate embroidery
and fringe are used to decorate mem.
Muffs are Iiuko affairs, and arc-
often lined with satin and chiffon to
harmonize with tho color of the fur.
Girdles and sashes are often In
blight colors on black and white
gowns.
Persian silk veiled with marquisette
Is used for collars, rovers and cuffs on
a number of cloth and satin models.
Many of tho new skirts are fitted
with a seam over the right hip and a
long straight dar over the left hip.
Tho new models show high-waisted
effects on skirts and very slightly

sprinkle in a little ffour to thicken the
gravy, hut unlj U is lined quite

water como to within two inches of
tho rim of the bowl.
Moisten the' edges of tho crust, cov

oned safely and turn up the overhang--

Wring out a cloth in hot water,
flour it and tie up the pudding. Have
tho water boiling into which it goes,
and boil steadily for four hours. If
water must be added from time to
time, this must be added from a boil
ing kettle also, as it Is of the utmost
Importance not to reduce the tempera
ture of the pudding.
When the cloth is finally removed
cut a round piece In the top of the
crust to prevent the pudding bursting
and send it to table either with a nap
kin pinned around or In a second,
more ornamental dish.
Readers and admirers of Mrs. Brown
will remeber that if there was one
dish more than another that "Brown"
was "partial to" It was a "weal and
'am pie." Nor is Brown alone in thin.
His predilection for the said pastry
dainty is shared by many Englishmen
of hearty appetites.
Here Is the rule for making it. A
pound and a half of filet of veal cut
into squares, a quarter pound of lean
ham also In small pieces, with a ta
blespoonful or thereabouts of butter.
Cover with water in a deep pie dish
and stew well. When it is tender add
two hard-boiled eggs cut in slices, a
small quantity of minced parsley nnd
n suspicion of thyme. Cover the dish
with thin pastry and bake.
British Potato Soup.
English potato soup Is both economi
cal and savory. For It they boll mar
row bones and strain off tho stock. To
this is added a plate of cut-up vegeta
bles, consisting of tho following mix
ture: Three onions cut flne, some po
tatoes sliced ihln and one large car
rot grated. Add seasoning as for any
soup and simmer an hour or more.
Strain and serve. Some add a .stalk
of celery and a bit of cooked lean ham
to the original stock pot to give addi
tional flavor.

In the season.
Royal purple is decjdedly modish.
Many of tho new skirt models are
in overskirt effect, some being edged
with fringe. The drop skirt is usually
of satin or volvct.
Many of the now street and auto
coats have their collars and cuffs
trimmed with velvet, corduroy, ratine,
bengallne, braid or satin.
In spite of the fact that lace frills
were so ' widely distributed last sea
son, they are again featured to a sur
prising extent for fall and winter.
All kinds of laces appear in differ
ent parts of new dresses, and there is
a tendency toward the biggest lace
vogue known for some time.
Fringe will bo seen on nearly all
t)f tho new costumes for afternoon
and evening wear, on house gowns,
negligee, parasols and even on hats.
The early fall tendency In tailored
suits is strongly toward suits having
trimming on the collars, cuffs and ro
vers and occasionally on the skirts.
