SERVING MEANS MUCH
PROPERLY PLEASING THE EYE
IS HALF OF THE MEAL.
Artistic Molds for Food One of th^
Best Forms of Giving Satisfac
tion—Desserts. in Particular,
May Be Thus Displayed.
Half the pleasure of eating is
through the eye. If food is well
served 'and cooked, a meal is a suc
cess, though the quantity and variety
of the food may be limited.
Molds play a large part in this
dainty service. Everything, from fish
to dessert, can be molded.
The ordinary mold is of heavy tin
but the woman who objects to using
tin. especially for acids, for which
tin should never be used, can bnv
earthenware or aluminum. These
last two cost more, and in them there
are fewer shapes.
Various sizes can be had. from a
quart to many quarts. The very
large ones are made to order. Indi
vidual molds are also popular, though
the large ring or form shapes are
more convenient and more fashion
able for general use.
Probably the favorite mold for most
purposes is a hollow ring, round or
oval. The round ones are better liked,
but either shape is good. These come
with a lid for desserts that must be
frozen, and without one for aspic,
mousse, blanc mange and vegetables.
With one of these rfng molds the
clever hostess can even glorify hash
or vegetable left-overs. Macaroni, put
In a ring, with the center filled with
creamed chicken, lamb or fish, makes
an apnetitizing dish.
Mashed potatoes may be quickly
formed into a hollow- ring with one
of these molds, the center being
filled with lamb chops, creamed
sweefbi eads or fried chicken.
A simple dessert might have the
ring of chocolate blanc mange, with
nuts mixed through it. the center br
ing filled with whipped cream. Thu
may be slightly stiffened with gela
tine if it will not hold its shape.
Nothing is prettier than a round or
oval ring mold ice cream heaped high
with fruit in its season, strawberries,
raspberries. peaches, oranges and
bauanas. Home-made ice cream serv
ed this way has all the air of a nov-.
eltv dessert. For further adornment
whipped cream may be put on the
top of fruit through a tube to make
fancy forms.
Another good-looking dessert has
sponge cake or cottage pudding bat
ter.baked in oval rings, large or in
dividual. the center filled with char
lotte russe. or Bavarian cream dotted
with whipped cream in fauev design;
a similar design is arranged around
the base of the cake. Cottage pud
ding rings can be filled with fruit,
tapioca, orange or pineapple.
Many of the hollow ring molds have
fancy shapes, cones, turrets or flow
era. but where pennies count the
plain onps are more practical for all
uses. Moreover, it takes a skilful
cook to empty the contents cf a fancy
mold without marring it.
Mock Cream Pie.
Make a rich paste and line one
plate; cut a round with the top of
another plate of the same size and
bake on a tin sheet so that it will be
flat. Heat two cups of milk to the
scalding point. Mix three-quarters
jup of sugar, one-quarter cup cf corn
starch. two beaten eggs and a pinch
nf salt. Pour on the hot milk anl
cook fifteen minutes, cool and flavor
with one teaspoon of vanilla. Fill
he lower crust and place the top one
tn evenly, for it cannot be moved suc
cessfully after it has once touched
the cream.
Western Muffins.
Mix together one and a hair pint
of flour, half a pint of cornmeal. two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one ta
blespoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful
of salt Work in one tablespoonful of
butter or lard, beat and add three
eggs, one pint of milk and beat the
whole quickly into a firm batter. The
muffin rings should not as a rule be
more than half filled The griddle
should be hot and well greased to re
ceive the rings. When the batter
rises to the top the muffins are usual
ly ready to turn.
Fruit Pinwheels.
Two cups flour, four teaspoons of
baking powder, not very full: one tea
spoon salt, two tablespoons sugar, two
tablespoons butter, two-thirds cup of
milk, one egg. one cup raisins, one
zup currants and a little citron Roll
Dne-half inch thick, brush with melted
butter, then add the fruit. Roil like
jelly roll, cut one-half inch thick, then
take. The Icing is made of powdered
sugar, with a little cream and vanilla
Spread with a knife.
Boiled Salad Dressing.
Reat two eggs, add six tablespoons
ot water, three tablespoons of vinegar,
a salt sroon of salt, a dust of pepper
and one-quarter cup of butter. Set
the dish in another of hot water and
cook until the dressing is thickened
like a custard. Cool and when used
add one-quarter cup of thick cream
beaten stiff. For me this would be
better to add a teaspoon of mustard.
Spanish Charlotte.
Place crumbs of stale cake or rolled
crackers on the bottom of a pudding
dish and put a layer of any kind oi
Jelly or fruit over them; continue
them alternately until the dish is
nearly full, making the crumbs form
the top. Pour a custard over it aud
bake. Serve with sauce.
! MORAL FOR THE MONEY-MAD
Hope of Becoming Millionaires About
on a Par With the Washes
woman's Delusion. _
Prof. Warren M. Beidler of Bethel.
Pa., In a recent address made the
striking assertion that the American ,
people, money-mad, taught their chil
dren how to earn a living, but not
i bow to live.
“There is no viler, and there is no
vainer ambition," said Professor Beid
i ler to a reporter, "than that of the
American boy to become a millionaire. ;
■ What percentage of our boys do be
come millionaires? It would take a
good many decimals to work that out,
I believe me!
"The boy who sets his heart on a
million fares likes the washerwoman '
who set her heart on a cross-eyed aero
; naut
'“1 hear you married that cross-eyed
aeronaut last week?" said a friend
“ 'Yes. I did,' replied the washer
! woman, as she rocked back and forth
over her tub “Yes. 1 married him
j “nd I gave him $500 out of my buildin'
association to start an airship fac
tory .’
" ‘That so?’ said the friend. 'Where
j is he now?'
“ 'I don't know.' said the washer
woman. 'I’m waitin' for him to gome
■ back from his honeymoon.' "

Eggs Clotworthv Ate.
Harry ( lotworthy, who is an expert
on military affairs, entered th*
diningroom of the National Press
club one morning and carried with
him a ravenous appetite. Having
eaten cne breakfast, which consisted .
largely of eggs, he ordered an \
other breakfast. which consisted !
even more largely of eggs. After his
repast he went to the writing-room
to get off some letters. Half an hour
later the steward of the club found
the colored waiter loafing about the
entrance of the writing-room and
asked him what he meant by being
absent from his post.
"I got a good excuse." exclaimed
the waiter, exhibiting the check for
the egg breakfast. "Mr. Clotworthy
done eat $2 worth of eggs and 1 ain't
goin’ to let him git away from here
without payin' for them, high as eggs
is now."

"Who is that, fellow sitting humped .

"Aw, that's Ezra Toombs, the under
taker," replied the landlord of the
Skeedee tavern. “He’s feeling sore
over the wav his business has been
going of late. You see, the doctor
gave Judge Peebles two weeks to live,
that was six weeks ago, and the judge
is up and around now and figgerin' on
marryln’ again. Every time Ezra
meets the doctor he asks him. 'How
about it, hey?' and they have a row.
And now he's «ittin' out there watch

“No. sah! He was under the kitchen

Wise Young Man.
That w as a very wise Cambridge
student of whom the London story
tellers were talking some time ago.
One of his college friends finding him
self without funds, went to this Sol
omon of students to borrow. He found
him in bed. Seizing him by the shoul
der. he shook him
"I say.” he said, "are you asleep?"
"Why do you ask?" queried the
other, sleepily
"I want io borrow a sovereign."
“Yes," said the other, turning over
and closing his eyes. ‘Tm asleep."

Takes Ugliness Philosophically.
A man whose face is heavily pitted
through a case of smallpox in his In

ment from his appearance. Once he
gave an explanation of it by say
ing that he bad fallen down a shot

Asked how be was able to shave
biinseif, he answered:
"With a bell punch."
What’s the Use?
Church—Do you tnink the world Is
growing better?
Gotham—I'm afraid not I read to
day that a cornet that can be played

“You must have been eating a great
deal of sheepshead fish lately.”

"What was the last operation that

"He cut his wife out of his will.”
