MRS.
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.

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.

To Word Chrislmas Card
To the Vitltnr of Woman's l'nae-
Dear Mndam Would ou nlen-,0 publtfh
tho correct a to word the card with a clft
to an eldtrly lady? Which Is the proper
form "To Mrs A from Miss 11." or "Kor
Mrs A." or "A merry L'hrl.tmus from
Miss II"? B. J
There Is no set form for the wording
of the card that goes with the Christmas
gift. 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."
French Versus American Girls
To the V.dltor ot Woman's 1'agc:
Dear Mndam I aitree with "Tho Hunch
of American (llrlfl" nnd "One of tho Least
ot These " If we were to treat our hos
ltkn tho Trench ctrls do then our bos would
say we were ruuninix nfter them Only re
cent!) 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

opportune moment After ha returned

ENTERTAINING A COUPLE u
ON THE HQLIDA Y VISIT
An Answer to a Young Mother Whose Husband Has Invited an Old
Chum to, Bring His Wife to Spend Christmas Is It
Proper to Leave Guests Alone?
Denr Friend I nm cxpectlnp; to
hnve a young couple come to spend
Christmas with me. I haI only met
tho hUBband once, ns ho is from n dis
tant city, but Is a great friend ot my
husbnnd's. It hnppens ho Is In the
city on business nt this tlmo nnd has
his wife with him. My husband
thought It would be nice to havo them
come nnd stay frdm tho dny before)
Christmas eve until a day or two
nfter Christmas. I want to plonso my
husband, ns this Is a very good friend
of his, but I have a baby boy ten
months old who takes up a good bit of
my time. As I hnvo never met tfia
wife of thin young man, do you think
It will be poaslblo for mo to go nbout
my work and leave her to herself
some of the time? I don't know how
I could manage In nny other way.
FRANCES.
DEAR "Frances" I think you will
havo a very Jolly Chrlstmns In
deed If you mnlto up your mind to
let your guests wander nround nnd
lo as they please all the tlmo they
nre visiting you. And If tho girl who
Is comtn&T Is at all llko tho nverago
one, she will be hopelessly hurt If
you do not Invite her to help you
tnko care of baby. "Why. she will bo
glad to be In a homo where thero is
a baby to mako Christmas seem realNJ
Don't you suppose she win want to
help trim tho little tree I know you
aro going to havo for that baby? That,
for Instance, on Chrlstmns eve nfter
dinner when you will probably be
busy In tho kitchen with tho dishes
would bo a very good way for your
husband to entertain both of Ills
guests fixing the treo?
Here, again, of course, If tho girl
Is llko tho average one, she will offer
to come out and help you with the
dishes and she will mean It, too.
Somehow wn always feel more at
homo In other people's houses If they
let us come Into th kitchen and help.
Talk of a cup of tea to mako women

I started off on n brunt for suggestions
nbout which I could tell you And In

In mind does this appeal to me? Would
I be willing to purchaso this box or that
novelty, had I a friend to whom I
could glvo It? N'ovv with the Spanish
Almerlas I saw todny. my unnwor Is
most decidedly In the affirmative. Had
I a friend who loved fruit, and pattlcu
larly who seems to have everything she
wnnts, I can think it nothing nicer than
some of these. "But what," you may
exclaim, "are Spanish Spanish wadde

than white grapes. "Xothlng more,"
did I say?, I wns mistaken, for these
lovely grapes are by far Ihc most deli

When We Come Back
From the Theatre
Jim's Job has not quite reached tho
point yet whero ho can afford after
theatre suppers, and the other night,
when we struck our llttlo house, I ,
Just gave him a surprise. Before 'we
went out I had made some cheese '
sandwiches, with both the bread and
the cheese cut thin. They would
have been good, anyway, because" I
had flavored the cheese with a few
drops of Al Sauce, and you know
what that means. It Isn't a Worces
tershire, you know I call It my
"miracle worker." But", Instead of
tervlng them cold, I toasted them'
under the hot flame, turning them
often, so thnt the cheese melted and.
ran down Into the brend. Jim had
four, and would havo eaten mine,
too, but ho Is still a polite hulband.
