. FINISH DINNER.
Sweats That Will Be Appreciated by
Seth Old and Young—Strawberry
Souffle Reçommended as a
Delicious Confection.
Strawberry Souffle. —Rich and heavy
sweets, always out of piace for chil
dren, are especially harmful in sum
mer. But there 1 b no reason why
simple sweets may not be indulged in.
Strawberry souffle, if made of fresh,
ripe fruit and served in sherbet
glasses, is a- treat for the warm sum
mer afternoon tea party which any
child should welcome. Let two cups
of strawberry juice and a cup and a
half of sugar stand together until they
form a syrup. Cover half a box of
gelatin with half a cup of cold water,
and when the gelatin has softened add
a cup of boiling water. Beat the yolks
of six eggs until they are creamy, add
them to the syrup and then add the
gelatin water, strained. Freeze, turn
ing the crank constantly until the
mixture is stiff.' Add a quart of
cream, whipped to a frotfi. Pack the
freezer with ice and salt ànd set aside
for two hours.
Raisin Cake.—This cake might be
called "children's fruit cake," for al
though it is not rich enough to cause
indigestion, it is given the appearance
of festiveness by the addition of nuts,
molasses and raisins. Besides that,
it keeps well and may be on hand for
the afternoon spread for a couple of
weeks. To make it., heat a quarter of
a pound of butter and half a cup of
brown sugar to a cream, add two
tablespoonfuls cf molasses and then
two eggs, one at a time, unbeaten.
Mix a cupful and a half of flour, half
a nutmeg grated, nr. eighth of a pound
of blanched almonds and the same
amount of shredded lemon or orange
peel and add to the cream. Lastly
add a teaspoonful et cream of tartar
and half a teaspoonfni of baking soda,
dissolved in not more than a quarter
of a cupful of milk. Pour it into a
paper lined tin, well buttered, and
bake for two or three hours in a
slow, steady ■. vcn. This cake is espe
cially suitable for serving with lem
onade or grapo juice.
Orange Granite. —Six oranges, a
pint of orange juice, a pound of sugar
and a quart of water—these are the
materials needed to make a delicious
ice. Ices are more cooling than
creams in the summer, because the
water and sugar and fruit juices di
gest far more easily and quickly than
cream and milk. To make the gran
ite boil the water and sugar together
for five minutes. Peel the oranges,
separate the sections, remove seeds,
w'hlte skin and every bit of .fruit con
necting tissue. Throw the pieces of
fruit into the hot cyrup, stand aside
for an hour to cool and then drain the
syruji into the ice cream freezer, add
the orange juice and freeze. When fro
zon stiff mix in the pieces of orange
and serve in glasses.
Cwrly Peters.—Where these drop
cakes got their name is hard to tell,
but they are a prime favorite with
most children and make a good ac
companiment for similar creams and
ices. To make them cream together
1% cups of sugar and one cup oi
butter. Add yolks of two eggs, one
cup of sour milk in which one tea
spoonful of soda has been dissolved,
three cups of flour, nutmeg, salt, all
spice, one cup of currants, and lastly
the whites of two eggs beaten to a
froth. Drop the batter in spoonfuls
on a buttered tin, plant a raisin firm
ly in the center of each cake and bake
in a moderately warm oven until the
1 cakes are golden brown and crisp at
the edges.
DON'T TALK ABOUT YOUR AGE
Man of Experience Makes a Wise
Suggestion to Old Men and
Young.
"Don't." said a man of experience,
u te!l people your age.
"I don't mean by that that you want
to lie about it ; Indeed you want to tell
the truth If it's necessary; but what I
mean is don't go around blatting about
It. Keep it to yourself.
"You meet men who are proud of
their age, men of mature years but
who are still strong and rugged and
able, that like to tell how old they
Veally are, and then you meet youthful
men who are getting on in the world
and doing fine things that like to .tell
tow young they really are. Mistakes
both.
"The mature man may really look
years younger than he is, and if he
does that is to his great advantage,
for the majority of people don't like
pld men around; they want young
blood. And as for the young man who
tnay look older but who boasts of his
touth, that's a mistake because people
don't like men ... young; they want
bien seasoned with at least some age
end experience.
"It's a foolish man, however able
3e may be, whe goes around talking
about how old or how young he really
Is. This can't do him any good and
it may do him harm. It is a wise man,
whatever his age, that doesn't talk
cbout his age at all, but let's his work
lo the talking."
Rhubarb Sweetmeats.
To three pints of rhubarb cut fine,
add one pint red raspberries, the juice
and grated yellow rind of one lemon,
one large capful nut meats and two
pounds sugar. Cook together until
thick.
