DMIRAD DEWEY, head of the United States navy, has an especial reason for feeling in a festive mood during the merry Yuletide season. It brings him a • double holiday. Not merely, you understand, the dual celebrations of Christmas and New Year's day, but another one besides. The explanation of surprise of red letter days in the admiral’s calendar

O A'

at this season of the year Is found in the circumstance that the birthday anniversary of the hero of Manila bay occurred on December 26, the day after Christmas. Moreover, the Admiral’s friends , make as much of the birthday anniversary as they do of the general holiday that just precedes it. The highest ranking officer of our naval service is quite in conceit with the idea of having bls birthday anniversary fall in the same week

m the holiday of gifts. If he had any say hi the matter it is doubtful if he would change things, for he has found that far from being overthadowed by the more generally observed holiday, as rjany persons might expect, his holiday actually takes on an extra significance by reason of close proximity to the general holiday. For one thing it affords Admiral Dewey exceptional opportunities to see old friends, and the

UNIFORMS IN THE NAVY

Both the officers and the crews of the older na»ies used to dress pretty much as they pleased. In Nelson’s time an attempt was made to get the officers arrayed with some sort of system, but the sailors wore whatever they could get hold of. That the dominant colors in dress in the Brttish navy (and resulting in the navies of other countries) were determined by a woman’s influence is shown in English records. The Hon. John Forbes, admiral of the fleet, said: “Adverting to the establishment of naval uniforms, I was summoned to attend the duke of Bedford and, being introduced Into an apartment surrounded with various dresses, my opinion was asked as to the most appropriate. I said red and blue, as they were our national colors. ’ . - ‘No,’ replied his grace, the king (George IL) hw determined otherwise, for having seen my duchess riding In the park a few days ago In a habit of blue faced with white the dree® took Ms majesty’s fahcy, who has appointed it for the uniform of the royal navy.’” While wearing a uniform himself, Welson was jealous in guarding against further encroachments on the sailor’s prerogative In the matter d dress. About the time of the French revolution epaulets began to be worn In continental navies; at first only on one shoulder, according to the officer’s rank. In 17M Nelson, while In Wanoe, wrote to bls father: "Two noble English captain* are bore. They

admiral Is a man of strong friendships. Ever since his return from the Philippines he has made his homej at Washington—which is the common headquarters for retired as well as active officers of the service. And those officers who do not live there make it a rendezvous, particularly at holiday seasons, and thus it comes about that there were in the capital at Christmas week an exceptional number of friends and acquaintances

wear fine epaulets, for which I think them great coxcombs. You may suppose I hold them a little cheap for putting on any part of a Frenchman’s uniform.” It was only a few years after this, however, that Nelson himself was wearing an epaulet, not only on a single shoulder, but on both. In the United States navy uniforms were prescribed from the outset—but with the very wise clause. Inserted as a parenthesis, “if they ban be procured.” By a resolution of the continental board of admiralty captains were to have a coat of blue cloth with red lapels, slashed cuffs, a stand-up collar, flat yellow buttons, blue breeches and a red waistcoat with yellow lace. Lieutenants were to have a blue coat, red lapels, round cuffs faced, a stand-up collar, yellow buttons, blue breeches and a plain red waistcoat. Midshipmen were to have a blue coat with lapels, round cuffs, faced with red, a standup collar, red at the button? and button-holes, blue breeches and a red waistcoat Officers of the marines were to have a uniform consisting of a green. coat faced with white, round cuffs, slashed sleeves and pockets with buttons around the cuffs, a silver epaulet on the left shoulder, skirts of the coat turned back (like the uniform of the continental soldier), buttons for the facings, white waistcoat and breeches edged with green, and black gaiters and garters. The marines were to wear green shirts. But it is highly improbable that these pre-

of the admiral —officers who served with him in the Pacific and elsewhere. Os course they called upon him on his birthday and he met them at social functions during the week. As for the admiral himself, he lives very quietly these days and he does not introduce many frills in his celebration of his birthday anniversary. On that day, as on every other, he devotes a good share of the late afternoon to a long carriage drive, brobably handling the reins hlmselfk Formerly the admiral ina horseback ride as his dally cMkag, but with advancing years almost abandoned this jtrenuouSßßercise. In addition to his is wont to walk more or less each day, walking to and from his office at the Navy Department Annex building and in this walk, on his birthday, he had as his companion his only son, regarding whom the public has heard so little. The big event of the day, however, was the admiral’s dinner party in the evening. The most prominent men in the nation gathered around the festive board and the president of the United States was a guest. The dinner was prepared by the admiral’s famous Chinese cook, who has been with him ever since the stirring days at Manila bay, and who is famous for his | appetizing dishes. The informal an- ? niversary banquet—with its gor- * geous birthday cake —was served in the dining room of the admiral’s present home —the house to which he removed when the dwelling given to him by the nation, in gratitude for the victory of May 1, proved rather too small to enable him to entertain his friends as he desired to.

This dining room is a very Imposing apartment with green wall hangings, heavy carved furniture 2d a tofty ceiling studded with electric lights. On S of Se long walls of this apartment there is arranged the admiral’s famous collection of Filipino weapons, including knives, spears, shields and other pieces of decided decorative value. Conspicuous on the opposite wall is a mounted moose head and an ingenious map of the world fashioned from hemp by Filipino weavers. Opening from thi* room is the breakfast room, which is used by the Deweys for all family and informal dinners. In some respects the most interesting room in the admiral’s home is the “blue room,” a sort of combination “den,” library and living room. The wall coverings, draperies, etc., are all of brocaded silk in the delicate robin’s egg tint, and the upholstery is in harmony with this color scheme. Here are the admiral's reading and writing table and his “favorite corner,” containing his lounging chair brought from the Orient and a collection of prized pictures, including original war sketches, autographed photos and other mementoes. Seated here the other day the admiral, who does not look within ten years of his seventy-three years, said: •1 relish the little birthday celebrations I hav* enjoyed in recent years, all the more because as a boy my birthday anniversary never meant much to me. My relatives were wont to combine it with Christmas in so far as gift giving was concerned. I do not recall that, as a boy, I ever received a birthday present and I thought it pretty hard luck then."

scribed uniforms were ever worn except in cases of great ceremony or where the officer was sitting for his portrait. The facts In the case seem to be that John Paul Jones, Nicholas Biddle, John Barry and other nautical heroes of the revolution achieved their greatness in red or blue flannel shirts and In any other clothing that came handy; doubt leesly patched by the ship’s tailor, not too neatly, with sail cloth, Ly the assistance of a man line spike and spun yarn.—Bluejacket.

p OR FRICASEE OF FOWI Directions by Which You Can Pro duce Dish That Will Make Hit With Father. Take a fowl as plump and tendei as you can get, clean it thoroughly and wash inside and out in saleratus water. Wipe dry, rub inside and out with dry saleratus, not too much, and let lay over night. The next morning wash off the soda, cut up, taking pains to disjoint it properly, put into a kettle and nearly cover with cold water. Rub first with salt, pepper and a little sage. Ilring to a boil, then set back, closely covered, where it will just simmer until it is done. When it is very tender remove the chicken from the broth, keeping hot. Skim off all the fat from the liquor, set it where it will boll up well. Season more if needed, and add one pint of cream if possible, or rich milk. Let come to a boil, then draw to back of the stove and stir in quickly the well beaten yolk of an egg and a tablespoon of chopped parsley* Have the chicken arranged upon a platter, leaving a hollow in the center. Take hot cream of tartar biscuits, split and lay in the hollow upon the platter, and then pour the cream and egg gravy over chicken and biscuits and serve at once. A little rice may be added to the gravy, cooking well in the liquor before adding cream and egg. When this is done make crisp delicately browned triangles of toast and serve in place of the biscuits. Sometimes, when using the toast in place of the biscuits, fry thin, lean slices of bacon until they are crisp and golden brown, then arrange the toast upon the serving dish, place the bacon upon the toast and the chicken upon that, then pour the gravy over all, as usual. WHEN THE FLOW IS SLOW Method of Overcoming One Difficulty in Handling Liquids In Cold Weather. In cold weather when liquids, such as molasses, syrups, boiled cider, etc, flow irregularly and slowly and w Is in haste, insert a bent metal, rub ber or glass tube in the receptacle above the liquid and half the time is needed to get the desired supply. With Red Peppers. t Sweet red peppers are an improve cnent to the meat stew, pie or ragout, to creamed fish dishes and to other entrees. Some persons use them with the canned corn which one must go back to for the winter The peppers should be divested of their seeds and be shredded fine. They do not need long cooking. Some persons who use them in salads shred them in salted water for three or four minutes to make them a little more tenter than if they are used uncooked. With cabbage salad they are delicious chopped fine without cooking. Stuffed with seasoned bread crumbs or rice and meat and baked they are at their best. Johnny Cake. One quart of milk, two well-beaten eggs, butter and lard each the size of an egg, one tablespoonful of brown "ugar, one of soda, two tablespoonfuls of flour, sufficient Iniian meal to make a thick drop batter. Melt the butter, mix all the ingredients except the soda together and beat for ten minutes. Add the soda dissolved in a tablespoonful of hot water, beat for a moment longer, pour into a buttered pan of such size that the cake will be not much more than an inch thick and bake slowly in a moderate oven. Serve hot, breaking it into squares. Royal Custards. Four eggs, one egg white, one gill cream, one-half teaspoon salt, few grains nutmeg, few grains cayenne Beat eggs and seasonings together, add one 1 gill of cream or same quan tity of rich milk. Strain through fine strainer into buttered timbale molds Set molds in- a saucepan with boiling water reaching to half their height Bake until firm. Coo», cut into slices or fancy shapes and add to con,somme. - One-half teaspoon of onion juice may be added before cooked. Nut Bread. Two cups graham flour, two cup« bread flour, half cup sugar, one tea spoonful salt; sift together; add tw« mps sour milk, half cup molasses, oncup boiling water, one teaspoon soda one cup walnut*meats chopped fine? stir well; pour into two bread pans; let rise 20 minutes; bake in medium oven three-quarters of an hour. Fruit Cake Without Egg*. One cup molasses, one cup butter milk or sour milk, one cup brown sugar, one cup butter,' one teaspoon each of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, one teaspoon of soda dissolved in a little hot water, one quart flour, one cup of raisins, citron and other fruit as much as you like. This makes a large cake or two small ones.

We’re All Her Friends. A pretty story of Miss Ellen Terry and a gallant young playwright has gone the rounds of the Players’ club. Miss Terry attended in New York the first night of this playwright’s latest work and at the end of the third act he was presented to her. She congratulated him warmly. “It is very good,” she said. “Your play is very good, indeed, and I shall send all my American friends to see it” “In that case,” said the playwright, with a very low and courtly bow, “my little piece will sell 90,000,000 tickets.” BABY’S HAIR ALL CAME OUT “When my fij-st baby was six months old he broke out on his head ■with little bumps. They would dry up and leave a scale. Then it would break out again and it spread all over his head. All the hair came out and his head was scaly all over. Then his face broke out all over in red bumps and it kept spreading until it was on his hands and arms. I bought several boxes of ointment, gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors to treat him, but he got worse all the time. He had it about six months when a friend told me about Cuticura. I sent and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. In three /days after using them he began to improve. He’ began to take long naps and to atop scratching his head. After taking two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Soap he was sound and well, and never had any breaking out of any kind. His hair came out in little curls all over his head. I don’t think anything else would have cured him except Cuticura. “I have bought Cuticura Ointment and Soap several times since to use for cuts and sores and have never known them to fail to cure what I put them on. I think Cuticura is a great •emedy and would advise any one to nse it. Cuticura Soap is the best that I have ever used for toilet purposes.’’ (Signed) Mrs. F. E. Harmon, R. F.
