Lady Londonderry wore a simple black georgette which thréw into ré- lief the famous Londonderry dia- monds, tiara, corsage ornaments, rings, bracelets and necklace with their 'myriad hues gleaming undér the eléctric lights, -- That Toronto was much imprese- ed by the brilliance of the dance given by the Toronto members of the senjor class of the Royal Milk tary College. Quiet old Kingston, regarded as a village by. Toronto with her 600,000 'population, can give a ball that would make the dance in Jenkins' Art Gallery seem like a mere Christmas party. . The decorations at the Christmas dance given in Sir Arthur Currie Hall on Dec. 22nd were quite unique. The long streamers of red and white veiling the lights, the " ingenious method of annolincing the dances, the clever silhouettes on the walls sét in a frame of red, and the lances tipped with red and white pennants stretching from the gallery over the heads of the dancers and the wom- derful building with its vaulted arches, all flags and red and white streamers, the captured German or Boer arms, and at the head of the staircare, the Statue of Peace pre- sented to the college by the Fremch government in memory of the part the sons of RM.C. played in the Great War, all made a wonderful scene. The arms of the Canadian divisions and the portraits of thelr generals in the ballroém and the great electrically lighted arms of the college with the motto, "Truth, Duty, Valor," lived so gallantly by thousands of Canadian lads, will not let the lightest heart forget the stern reality their college traditions have brought to many of her sons. And it the Ch dance is splen- did, what of * June ball" with its thousand guests and Point Fred- erick and college flooded In moon of by the ingenious brain of the youth of to-day brought forth for their entertainment.

ANSWERED LETTERS A Bride: My pie crust is always soggy when I make a cocoanut cus- tard pie. What is the trouble? -Answer: I imagine you are not baking the pie correctly. All pies with an egg filling should be baked as fol- lows: Slip it into a hot oven and let it bake for perhaps ten minutes, then gradually reduce the oven heat to "medium" and let it continue to bake: --40 minutes in all. That first short period in a hot oven sets the crust. The remainder of the baking, at mod- erate heat, allows all to cook without getting the filling so hot that it boils, If an egg filling is allowed to boil in a pie it will "whey" thereby spoiling the pie. . Mrs. H. B. and "Mrs. So and So": "Pleast tell me how to remove rust from metal." Answer: You did not fell, me the kind of metal, Reader Friends! Thire- fore I shall have to "cover" several kinds. Iron and Steel: Soak small ob- jects in kerosene for several days and then smooth with steel wool or emery paper. Large surfaces such as a stove- top may be rubbed with kerosene (when the fire is out, of course) and then with steel wool which is moisten. ed with linseed oil; in extreme cases the oiled steel wool may be dipped in powdered pumice stone. Nickel: Cov- er the rust spot with lard and let stand several days, then rub with a wool cloth wrung out of hot water and mois tened with either kegosene or ammo- nia. Verdigris: from Copper or Other Metals: This is a sort of green rust and may be removed as follows: Wash with soda water and wipe dry. Now mix one part of sulphuric acid (poison) and 12 parts water in an earthenware vessel and apply this mixture to the metal with a small swab tied to a stick. Polish with oil and rottenstone and finally with just the dry rotten. stone. : A Reader: Kindly publish a recipe for Mexican Enchiladas: Answer: Enchiladas: These closely résemble griddlecakes, but are made of cornmeal as follows: In Mexico the coarse cornmeal is used. mixed to a stiff 'dough with water, but our fine} cornméal may be substituted If it is scalded before using so that it will make a dough which can be handled without crumbling (indeed, some cooks add one part of wheat flour to three parts of this fine cornmeal to gain this elasticity). Mix it to a stiff dough with water/ then scald Break off a small piece of this dough, roll it into a ball, then pat it flat with the hands. Put this take in Chile Sauce which you have brought to the boiling point and let cook till done. Now remove the cake from the hot sauce, drain, and add one tablespoon of either cooked chicken, sausage, veal or pork on it: sprinkle over with grated cheese and another tablespoon of .Chile sauce, roll up, sprinkle with an onion-and serve with more hot Chile sauce.
