FABLES

THE NEW FABLE OF THE DIVINE
SPARK THAT HAD A SHORT
CIRCUIT.
One Evening at a converted Rink
known aa the Grand Opera House, a
flock of Intrepid Amateurs put on a
War Drama.
Lila, principal Child of the Egg and
Poultry King, played a Daughter of
the Southland, and her Hair shaken
out and Lamp Black on her Eye-Wink-
ers, so as to look like Maxine.
All of her Relations and the other
Members of the ~*ocahontas Bridge
Whist and Pleasure Club were In
Front, and they gave her a Hand every
time she stepped out from behind a
Tree.
She scored what is known in the Ib-
sen Cult &b a Knock-Out.
At 11 P. M. she was up on a lone-
some Eminence, right between Sara
Bernhardt and Julia Marlowe, waiting
for a Telegram from C. F. to come on
and tackle the Role that was too
He^vy for Maude Adams.
The proud Parents awoke next
Morning to discover that Lady Mac-
beth was boarding with them.
When she moved from one Room to
another, the Portieres had to be spread
the entire length of the Pole, so as to
make Room for her Head.
A local Haberdasher, who had been
plotting to surround her with a new
Bungalow and a lot of Mission Furni-
ture, went to call as per Usual and
found her away Up Stage, trying to
look like Margaret Angelin in the Big
Scene.
She was too busy to Hold Hands,
for she was mapping out a Career
•which terminated with an Electric
Sign on Broadw'ay and the Street
Jammed with uptown Limousines.
So the Gents' Furnisher moved
down the Street to a Brick House, the
unmarried Inmates of which would
begin burning Greek Fire and send-
ing up Balloons every time a Live One
Slammed the Front Gate.
Lila had the Bacillus Theatricus
gnawing away in every part of her
System.
She could see tho magnificent Play
House crowded from Pit to Dome, just
as the Producing Manager sees it
every August when the Pipe is draw-
ing freely. •
She could hear the Leading Man in
tho Dress Suit say, as he pointed up
It took many an Egg to have Lila
properly Conservatoried.
At last she came home With a DU
ploma showing that she was an Ac-
tress.
After that she merely needed a Play
and a Company and a lot of Scenery
and a Manager and a Theater and the
soft old lTiblic buying of the Scalpers
in order to realize her modest Ambi-
tion to become a Real Star.
She took her Diploma and the Local
Press Notices up to New York to sea
what she could get on them, and found
10,000 other incipient Modjeskas hit-
ting the worn Trail that led from one
Agency to another.
Artistic Temperaments were more
Abundant than Lamp Posts and get-
ting an Audience with a Blg'Gun was
just as easy as Opening a Time-Lock
with a Hat Pin.
She had an offer at the Hippodrome
to walk in front of an Elephant wav-
ing a prop Palm, but she spurned it,
because she was ready to do Desde-
mona at a Moment’s Notice.
As for the Laudatory Article writ-
ten by a would-be Willie Winter of the
wild and woolly West, she couldn't
find any one in the neighborhood of
42nd Street who had ever heard of
the Tank Town in which her Folks
were so Prominent.
In order to get Experience, she
signed up with a No. 4 Company, play-
ing the Part of the deaf-and dumb
Lady who crosses the Stage and re-
moves the Tea Things early in the
Second Act.
When the Troupe went on the Rocks
at Mauch Chunk, Penna., the erstwhile
Favorite of the Pocahontas Club found
herself sitting on a Trunk marked
“Theater” standing off a Deputy Sher-
iff and waiting for an Answer to her
Wire.
The First Old Woman, who remem-
bered Edwin Booth, came and sat be-
side her.
“Do not he discouraged, Honey/*
said She. “Go right back and start all
over, and possibly sometime Next
Year you will again have the blessed
Privilege of going up a neglected
Alley twice a Day and changing your
Clothes in a Barn. Any Girl with
your Looks and Family Connections
can curl up in a Four-Poster at night
and then saunter to the Bath over a
soft Rug In the Morning, but only ^
throbbing Genius can make these
The Cresses.—Pepper grass or gar-
den cress resembles in appearance and
flavor the better known water cress.
The wild cress growing in constantly
running meadow brooks is the ten-
derest and the entire plant Is eaten.
The pleasant, pungent flavor makes it
an agreeable addition to the salad
plants and a very attractive garniture
for meat and fish dishes. Be sure and
break off all the roots. Do not use a
knife, however.
Sorrel and Spinach Soups.—This Is
a good summer soup. To a quart
of sorrel add a handful of spinach and
a few lettuce leaves. Put them in a
saucepan with a large piece of butter
and cook tender. Add two quarts of
boiling water, season to taste with ealt
and pepper, and Just before serving
add two well-beaten eggs and half a
cupful of cream. This is an excellent
soup for an invalid.
Boiled Spinach, French Method.—
Use half a peck of spinach. Wash and
pick over the leaves, carefully remov-
ing all the wilted ones and the roots.
When thoroughly washed put into
boiling water with a pinch of soda
to keep the bright green color, and
cook tender. Then drain in a colander
and drench with cold water, as this
glves firmness and delicacy attained
in no other way. Shake froe from
water, chop fine, and put into a sauce-
pan. Stir in a tablespoonful of butter,
salt and pepper to suit the taste. Add
two tablespoonfuls of good cream, and
stir until hot; then arrange on a heat-
ed dish and rice the yolks of hard
boiled eggs over the top, using the
vegetable press for the purpoee.
FOR THE BEST TOMATO SOUP
Ingredients Should Be of the First
Order and Much Care Given
to Its Preparation.
Peel two pounds of nice ripe toma-
toes and cut in two. Remove seeds.
Take a stew pan to hold four quarts
of liquid, put therein two ounces of
butter, one onion finely chopped, and
melt together for three minutes to
heat only, but not to color, otherwise
the soup will be spoiled, adding one
teaspoonful of castor sugar and a little
salt. Remove from the fire and add
a large tablespoonful of flour. Drop
all the tomatoes into the mixture and
mix well together. Then add two
quarts of meat stock (not clarified),
boil briskly, stirring all the while;
then allow to boil gently for one hour.
Skim off grease from time to time and
pass through a fine sieve; return to
stewpan, season with pepper and salt
or tabasco, and, if not thick enough,
a little arrowroot or fecule diluted
in a little cold water will slightly
thicken and add to the smoothness.
This soup is particularly nice with
rice, and the starch water in which
the rice is boiled will serve to thicken
the tomato Boup.
8imply Made, of Dotted and Embroid-
ered 8wl»i, It Makes Ideal Garment
for the Woman Who Must
Look at Coat.
It was Irresistible, this little gown
of the sketch, as It hung In the quaint-
est of chintz-curtained windows of a
specialty shop on the Rue de l’Opera,
writes a Paris correspondent of the
Washington Star. A reassuring “Eng
llsh Spoken" placard was a further In-
ducement to enter, so I ventured In for
closer Inspection.
The English they spoke was con-
fined to a very few words, and those
| few but remotely suggestive of our
| tongue. However, they made up for
it in graciousness, and we niuuaged
fairly well.
“Ma'mzelle desired to buy the so
charming costume, was It not?"
“No, it was not—but did they object
to her making a sketch to Bend home
to an American newspaper?”
It seemed that there was no objec-
tion, and so—here It is. It Is bound
to make a lovely summer evening
gown, but I’ve been wondering if it
wouldn’t please some sweet girl grad
uate as well. You see, it was made of
dotted and embroidered swlss, and
this should commend it to some one
with whom economy is a necessary
virtue.
The bodice consisted of two sleeve-
less sides sloped off to the shoulder
and cut out in a deep V neck, back
and front. The embroidered portion
was arranged Just above the bust.
With It w.as worn a dainty kimono-
sleeved guimpe with tiny finishing
ruffles at the elbows and decoiletage.

Chicken a La Monte Carlo.
Melt two tablespoons of butter in an
earthen dish or casserole with one car-
rot, three onions sliced, two bay
leaves, salt, pepper and some thyme.
Add a young fat fowl, cut jnto joints
and let it get brown. Then add one
pint of consomme and cover, air tight.
Cook three-quarters of an hour. It
must simmer all the time. If the fowl
is old it will take longer to cook it.
Add tw'o tablespoons sherry, a dozen
potato balls fried in butter, a dozen
button mushrooms and some chopped
parsley. Let it cook ten minutes more
and serve in the sauce dish or the
charm of it will be lost.

the Countess Zika now.” And then
She would enter trippingly, wearing
$900 worth of spangled Raiment,
whereupon the Vast Audience would
stand up and Cheer.
Whilst enjoying this Trance she
wore a Yellow Kimono and had her

Almond Cream Squares.
Put tw’o pounds of sugar and a little
less than a gill of water Into a sauce-
pan. Place the pan on the fire and
stir the sugar and water until the mix-
ture starts to boil. When It Is boil-
ing thoroughly add a little less than a
half a pint of cream, stirring It In.
and cook until It forms a soft ball
when dropped in cold water.
Take off the fire, add vanilla flavor-
ing and stir until it looks creamy,
sprinkling chopped dry blanched alm-
onds in while stirring; then pour out
on greased paper or a marble slab
and cut into squares.
Pertinent Suggestion for a Summer
Evening Gown or Graduation Dress.
I Although it was only a very small
touch, much charm was evidenced in
the small flatly applied bowknots of
| light blue ribbon which trimmed the
♦ leevee. There was also a narrow
blue girdle that tied in back with long
streamers.
The short tunic flounce that was
hung with even gathers from the high
waist line was caught up higher at
the left side than at the right, and its
lower edge was cut right through the
embroidered border of the material.
Under this was a longer pouched
tunic, gathered at the top and caught
in about the lower edge with a string
of chiffon roses. A single one was
caught under the blue ribbon girdle
nt one side.
The skirt proper could have had an
upper part of net where it was hidden
by the tunic. It was draped a little
in front with a few simple folds and
cut out over the instep.
The stiff, much-dressed swisses will
not. of course, do for a design of this
kind. A soft-finished variety is the
proper thing. «ml the dots should not
he too small nor too closely placed, as
the effect will be quite lost.
GETTING “PEG-TOP" EFFECT
New Model of Taffeta Shows How the
Desired Result Is Possible of
Achievement.
When the flounced gown first came
hack, a few mouthy since, it managed
to keep, quite flat by permitting no
fulness in the flounces. It Is very dif-
ferent now, for there is plenty of ful-
ness in all of them, but chiefly in the
one immediately below the waist.
A new model of this kind is In
green taffeta with seven flounces on
the skirt and an eighth formed by the
basque of the body, very full and fluffy.
The bodice opens in a deep square,
outlined hv narrow black velvet, which
is tied in a how at the waist wlt.fc long,
flying ends. The throat is bare, a
Medici collar rising at. the back.
A flounced gown for evening wear
is made of silk crepon in a delicate
tone of mauve, with a deep belt of
mauve, pale blue and silver broche.
The skirt is of the peg-top order, and
is wide enough at the hem to admit of
dancing comfortably The peg-top ef-
fect is produced by three flounces be-
tween hips and knees.

ent kinds of cream on them but they

Asparagus Stewed.
Cut the points as far as they are
perfectly tender Into pieces not more
than one-half an inch in length. Wash
them and throw into boiling salted wa-
ter. When they are tender, take out
asparagus and lay aside for a few min-
utes. Have some pieces of toasted
bread. Dip them into the water in
which the asparagus was boiled. But
ter them and place, in dish, laying as
paragus on top. Thicken with a little
flour and add a piece of butter and
salt to taste. Pour the mixture over
the asparagus, and serve very hot.
Stale Bread.
One way of serving stale bread is to
cut it in one-quarter-inch slices, re-
move crusts and cut each slice in
three finger-shaped pieces. Toast on
both sides, arrange in a dripping pan,
sprinkle with grated cheese and bake
until the cheese Is melted.
Corn Oysters.
One-half can corn, three or four
rolled crackers, two eggs, salt and pep
per. Drop by spoonfuls into hot fat
and fry. A good substitute for meat.

When cleaning teapots, pot lids, the
inside of pots and pane nothing can
equal wet emery cloth. It is also good

Varying Hats That Will Be Suitable
• to Needs of Small Maidens’
Summer Wear.
After your little daughter has been
supplied with her “knockabout” hat it
is time to plan her bonnet for best
wear. The loveliest hats are devel-
oped of transparent materials, such as
net, point d’esprit or shadow lace, ar-
ranged over a wire foundation. The
latter can be purchased at any shop
where millinery is sold, and the wires
should be wrapped with strips of silk
before covering with the tulle.
An extremely dainty model is a
quaint Dutch bonnet suggesting the
lace caps worn by the V’ollendam
maids. The wire foundation is cov-
ered with pink washable silk, and over
this arranged the covering of dotted
tulle. The crown Is shirred at inter-
vals, and the brim is edged with a
tiny frill. Two clusters of small flow-
ers in tones of pale blue, pink and
mauve trim the brim. About the
crown is drawn a ruching of lace.
A very lovely little hat can easily
be duplicated The brim is slightly
mushroom, and the foundation is cov-
ered with pale pink silk. The dotted
one for your little daughter.
FLOWERS THE CHIEF FEATURE
In All Varieties and Colors They Aro
Used to Adorn the Season's
M illinery.
Already word has gone forth that
flowers are to bloom abundantly on
millinery. And fashion is very definite
about the sort of flowers to be favored.
The rose will be of medium size and
made of straw or of straw combined
with silk, btit always with cork foliage.
Pansies are again In vogue and ap-
pear in every shade of purple, blue,
yellow and red, with here and there a
white one 6treaked with a color.
Forget-me-nots, for years neglected i
by fashion, are in again, not only in
the familiar blue tones, but in a new !
reddish-brown, named pheasant, which j
is to he strong in spring millinery.
Lilies-of-the-valley are to the fore,
made chiefly of a luster surfaced mus
lin which gives their petals a curious |
opaque appearance. In company with I
them is seen a collection of small, deli-
