the world as typically American. Gown

the music-lovers of New York. They
resent the fact that singers who aro

have oocupled the stage of the Metro

season while this great German singer
has been kept on the road in concert.
This Is a part of the policy of economy

2 tablespoons flour, 1 cup scalded milk,

tatoes, and "sweat; them a few min

not to brown them. Add the clam
liquor, and a little water if necessary,
and cook until the potato cubes are
tender. Meantime scald the milk In
a double boiler and thicken with the
butter and flour as for white sauce,

th chopped clams, and heat Just to

from the other kettle, aeason to taste,

English housewives usually make
the year's supply of plum pudding In
November, or early December; and,
after a whole day's boiling, simply
hang them. In the cloth or cloth-cov
ered bowl. In a -cool dry place. If the
puddings are steamed In moulds with
tight fitting lids, they are treated as
if they were canned fruits that Is.
the lids are not removed, but are
sealed with tallow or parafflne, to ex
clude the air. Usually they keep per
fectly for 10 months, or even longer,
provided the storage place la not
damp. I have kept fruit cake In a tin
for many months. It sounds as if
your tin might be Infected with mold,
or your storage-place damp. In any
case, cakes kept In tins should be
watched, and the tin should be aired
and exposed to sunlight, or heated In
the oven occas'onally, to discourage
any chance of mold growth. Some
people wrap their fruit cakes In tin
foil; but I have never found this nec
essary. The paper In which the cake
was baked should not be removed, un
less the cake is to be iced, all over,
with hard frosting, which of course,
also excludes the air and prevents
molding. I have known such an Iced
cake keep several years under a large
bell-glass. The conditions favorable
to mold growth are darkness, damp
ness, moderate temperature and atag
natlon of ar, ao that food stored In
enclosed Jars or boxes, unless quit
dry or sterilised and sealed to ex
clude air and new mold spores, is al
ways Inclined to mold and should
therefore be exposed occasionally to
air and sunlight, to check the develop
ment of molds that are ready to grow.
Since a low temperature discourages,
though It does not entirely prevent,
mold-growth, many moist foods that
would otherwise mold may be kept
safely for some time In the refrigera
tor. A tin or crock once Infected
with mold. If merely washed and dried,
will continue to infect food placed In
It. It should be thoroughly scalded
with boiling water containing a little
borax, and then heated In the oven to
dry completely not wiped with a
cloth. You will find Interesting In

All perfumes are said to Improve
with age, and so when making a sachet
powder it is well to let it stand a
month before using It in order that the
various substances may blend and de
velop the full odor. The powders
should be put in wide-mouthed bottles,
closely stoppered to exclude air, and be
kept in a temperate atmosphere. In a

Powdered orris root, used alone or
with a small quantity of some other
delicate powder, makes a refreshing
and cheap sachet perfume, and the girl
who lives where odorous flowers are
available haa it In her power to pos
sess the sweetest scents known to
woman's toilet. In New Orleans,
Charleston and other Southern cities,
for oxample, where orange trees grow
outdoors, and most of the flowers are
of a rich fragrance, the natural posies
laid between clothing in the bureau
drawers will bring about a" scent more
delicious than any that could be
bought. Orange blossoms, gardenias,
oppoponax and similar fragrant and
semi-tropical blooms are used in Louis
iana for this purpose, while in some
ports of lower South Carolina even un
educated negroes gather the wild sweet
yellow Jasmine, or grow the white Cat
alonlan Jasmine about their porches, to
make sweet smells for their finery.
Regarding liquid scents, .all the good
taste or bad taste of them comes in the
selection and the way the perfume is
used. A cheap musk scent is always
atrocious, and if the best extract of
musk is spilled over clothing there is
always a sickening aftermath sugges
tive of drugs when the first flower fra
grance has died away. Knbwing this,
French women apply scents to the skin
a little dab at the wrists, behind the
ears and on the throat and for some
reason or other the device results in
only a delicious flower odor with none
of the sickening after-smell.
Another trick In Paris is to use scent
only through the medium of the toilet
powder. A teaspoonful of good ex
tract is poured into the powder and
mixed up with It and after the paste
dries It Is rubbed once more into a
powder and used all over the body with
a chamois, care being taken to rub It
Into the skin. Only rice and wheat
starch, or a plain unscented talcum, are
doctored In this way, however, and as
the starches are slightly colored with
