How to Make the Beloved Animal Cookies and' the Tasty Almond Confection Called "Marzipan" They Come From the Va rious Lands That Make a Specialty of These Deli cious Tidbits By MRS. M. A. WILSON (Cnpvrtaht, lots, bv Mrs. it. A. Wilson. tll risMs reserved.) rjpHESE little cakes are made and " sold extensively throughout Eu- Jf .rope, particularly in Belgium, Switz erland, xioiiand and ! ranee; tney come in endless variety. I once heard a famous French baker, whose pnlls8erie was the largest in France, say that so numerous was the va riety of these little cakes that one could use a different recipe for each day for eighteen months and not need to repeat a single one. In fact, nearly every large city over there makes a specialty of one or another kind of these little cakes. In late yenrs we, too, have added these dainty cakes to our store of this season's goodies. Many folks regard them as a luxury, beyond the price of the modest purse. This ! , - .... i . l A l ll S Is especially true during these holi- days, owing to the prohibitive cost of butter and eggs. Now, although it is not possible to duplicate the commercial variety, the housewife will find that she can make many delicious, inexpensive varieties, which will rccommenci themselves for their wholcsomeness nnd individuality. The dough can be prepared in the afternoon before, rolled early the next morning and then baked. If the young folks are permitted to help, many happy hours can be spent in the preparation ot the Christmas dainties. ''The word "Lcbkuchcn" comes from the Latin word "libum," which means a cake of honey and flour. It was made in the early Roman days and vas presented to the gods as food. Sugar was then unknown. Undoubt edly many of these cakes are of Italian and Swiss origin; other coun tries, quick to realize their delicious ness, adopted them as their own. A Recipe from Italy Lebkuchen One cupful of honey One cupful of sirup. Onc-half teaspoonful of baking soda. Place in a saucepan and bring to a boll.

CHAPTim XI OF COURSE an armistice was signed, a temporary truce that made for surface tranquillity while underneath seethed the waters of discord waiting only to be riled by another definite Inci dent. Ituth knew that nothing wns really settltd ; In fact tho morning after the quarrel Bho tried to remember on Just what grounds hostilities had been called off, and Bho could not rememoer definitely. Sho remembered that she had cried herself Into another condi tion of frazzled nerves and that Hcott had gathered her up Into his arms like a tired child and had comforted her like one, and content with tho physical comfort of him, she had let the other go; that other that 1b of such Im portance afterward; and mental calm that only cornea when each understands the other. Kuth felt that because Scott had taken her In his arms there might exist In his mind a certain surrender Scott him self had no definite thoughts on the subject at all. Certainly ho had no Idea of giving up seeing his frlendB, and therefore tha point at issuo was only postponed. When Iluth woke up tho next morn ing sho was surprised at her utter las situde. She could hardly drag herself out of bed, but she felt at rest Bomehow and quite near to Scott, and therefore Bhe felt that her expended emotions had dono some good after all. They had almost a honeymoon time over the breakfast table, and Iluth made French toast as a special treat. "What are we doing tonight?" Scott asked as ho finished his second cup of coffee." "Nothing at all, I thought we might spend the evening alono together." This was a concession on Iluth's part, as she wa rarely content to do this. She wanted to bo out somewhere, either alono with Scott or with other people. She was always avoiding an evening at home when they had nothing to do. "That will be fine. Oeo, I'm tired, I feel as though I could sleep for a week. It will be flno to look forward to an evening of not eeelng any one." Iluth said good-by to Scott at the door, and on the alert for tho slightest sign of coldness on his part, found his embrace entirely satisfying, Everything was all right then, she thought to her selt; things were exactly an they had been befora and she could afford to put the entire matter behind her, Noth ing could bs gained by being tactless enough to broach the subject agalnv She was quite sure that Scott would make no effort to see any of the crowd again. Jluth sung at her work that morning ..i .n had tha 'knartment In order.

In fact, tho inoro lnrormai me wording the sweeter the spirit. You might say, "A. merry Chrlstmns to jou nnd a New Year that holds much hap piness, ' nnd then sign jour name, or you might sny, "This little gift brings Christ mas wishes to ou from ." How ever. If you prefer the formal wny, I should sav, "A merry Christmas to Mrs . from Miss 13."

I was talking to a e30-nmonth man and after telling me his family history from the ln-Klnnlnir tu tho end he said, "You aro awfull) iiulet tonliiht " Of course I said I was born that wa or something fin the same order I wouldn't till him for the world that I hadn't a cjiance to bu alothlnK else but quiet Another time I wns with one of our bos In the serlco and he suggested a meal afti r tho show I said "Oh Ice cream will do as well " To which he replied, "I can't understand ou Any one would think ou were palng the expenses" So what are we going to do about It? I don't see how soma of them eer got along without tho Trench elrla ns long as they did. Hut they will get tired of tho Trench girls Mrs. Cnrtpr had called and had left word for Mrs. Ilnymond to call her. Iluth called the number and greeted Isabel, ijayly. Well, how did jou survive tho eve ning alone?' Isabel asked the first thing. It brought back the unhnpplness of last night poignantly, but Iluth forced back tho depression that stopover her and responded lightly. "Well, I called up to ask you If you havo anything on for Uonlght," Isabel went on "If you haven't, can't you como over? I'm going to have a few Peoplo In and I want jou and Scott to meet them " "Why, I'd love to," Ituth responded, "only that Scott and I wore up lato last night and we had planned to stay at homo tonight " "We'll let you go home early," said Isabel. Ruth know what that meant It meant at least 12 o'clock. "It's (julto Informal you know," Isabel went on. Ituth knew what that meant, too. Imi bel's Informal evenings meant only ono tning Isabel herself In n lovely scml evening frock Isabel nlvvnys Becmcd to select exactly tho right thing, lllll In a dinner coat which somehow never looked formal, but as though Hill had Just slipped Into it, the living room lo'vc ly with expensive lamps; a perfectly proportioned group of people- tho din ing room at eleven-thirty with Its pol ished mahogany table gleaming In the light of many candles; lovely things to eat, and perfectly served by Isabel's colored maid, and the knowledge when ono finally left that everything had gone oft flawlessly, Ituth loved the oiled wheels behind all this that kept things going so smoothly, but to be en tertained like this always mado her feel that she could never return It properly. "I really ought to speak to Scott," Iluth demurred. "I'll take the blame if ho'u cross," Isabel returned In that way she had ot settling things herself. "I really want you to come, Iluth, and lllll Is so fond of Scott," That settled things for Iluth. Isabel too seldom admitted anything at all personal, and to have her do so wan a compliment In Itself. Ituth was flattered that she counted so much and sur rendered with a pleased little laugh. "Well. If you'll really take the blame, because I know he'll be tired and cross.' And then all day she hesitated between calling Scott up and breaking the news to him that way or waiting for a mora opportune moment After ha returned that evenlnr.
