The child-, Ten shout the gleeful news and the whole dinner, even the spinach, shares in the glamor of the treat in store. So why not serve this happy ending often since you can do it these days without making extra work for your elf? That is, if you make delicious and simple candy ice cream you can concoct all vets of different flavors as easily as you'd Make a plain jun- ket or custard pudding. Any favorite recipe may be used for the foundation cream. Junket, custard, Mousse, parfait, ice and sherbet may be flavored and sweet- ened with the candies. All the hard varieties of candies, chocolate coat- ed or plain. may be used without ad- ditional sugar, but some of the cream candies may require a little extra sugar. One-half pound of candy is enough to sweeten and flavor one quart of custard or other foundation mixture. If the candy is thoroughly crushed and allowed to dissolve in the foun- dation cream before freezing an even color is produced. An attractive mot,. tled effect is obtained if the candy is rather coarsely crushed and added to the cream mixture just before freezing. There will be bits of un- dissolved candy which retain their color sprinkiered through the frozen mixture. Following are two basic recipes which may be varied by the use of different candies. Peppermint Stick Cream One pound red and white pepper- mint stick candy, 6 cups thin cream, 1/8 teaspoon salt. Scald cream in double boiler. Re- move from heat and add salt and finely crushed candy. Cool and turn into freezer mold. Pack in six parts ice to one part ice cream .salt and let stand several hours. Serve plain or with hot chocolate sauce, as pre- ferred. If you want to use this recipe in a mechanical refrigerator, stir 1 tablespoon softened gelantine into the scalding hot cream, stirring until gelatine is thoroughly dissolved, . Marshmallows should be quartered and dissolved in the hot cream. This is splendid for an iceless refrigera- tor too, making gelatine unnecessary. Chocolate coated molasses chips may be crushed and added to the cream after it has cooled. This makes a delicious rich cream .with- out the effort of melting chocolate and washing an assortment of dishes. Walnut Brittle Ice Cream. One pound walnut brittle, 4 eggs, 1 cup whipping cream, 4 cups milk. Beat egg yolks slightly. Scald milk and beat into egg yolks. Cook in double boiler, stirring constantly un- til mixture coats spoon. Remove from heat and add crushed brittle. Fold in whites of eggs beaten until stiff. Cool and pour into freezer mold. Pack in eight parts ice to one part ice cream salt. When beginning to freeze around the edges, stir in cream whipped until firm. Let stand several hours before serving. This recipe is excellent to use in a mechanical refrigerator, too, Carrot Juice Cocktail That the carrot is the vegetable par excellence for clearing the com- plexion is universally. conteded. But it is little known what a quantity of juice may easily be extracted froni It. As a welcome change from tomato juice, which is in vogue at present, try a carrot juice cocktail. Here's how. Grate a large carrot .and squeeze the pulp through a piece of cheese - loth when you will find yourself With about half a cupful of juice. ea..eezestereeteereereeeeeeeseee.. Sip this as a cocktail, Carrot juice is excellent for adults and a splendid help for babies suffering from nutri- tion deficiency diseases. SUNDAY NIGHT SUPIZER A curried dish gives a menu a certain zest that lifts it out of the everyday class and puts in into the "special occasion" category. Yet curry need'nt be used only for party menus. Try adding it to your favorite creamed concoctions and see if the family doesn't greet your efforts at, orgleality with loud cheers of ap- proval. Curry of chicken, served with steaming rice, makes a perfect main course for a luncheon or a Sunday night supper. Here's the way to prepare it: Place two and one-half pounds slic- ed cooked chicken in a saucepan with six ounces warmed butter. Stir in one teaspoon curry powder, one table- spoon flour and one chopped onion. Season with salt and. pepper and pour in one quart chicken stock. Al- low to cook slowly for eight minutes. Add one-half cup shredded cocoanut and let it boil for two minutes. Then pour in one cup heavy cream and set aside. In a second pan place six ounces warmed butter and one chopped onion. Add two cups cooked rice and simmer for two minutes. Pour in a quart of chicken stock and season. When boiling, cover and bake in a moderate oven for ti,enty minutes. When you're ready to serve luncheon, arrange the rice mixture in a mould -like form in the centre of a platter and place the creamed chicken in the middle of the mould. Decor- ate rice mould with pieces of chutney - ed ginger and raisins and pour the rest of the chicken around the mould on the platter.

Woman Elected to Royal Academy Mrs. Dod Procter's Husband is Also an A.R.A. For only the third time since the British Royal Academy was founded in 1768, a woman has been elected an associated of that institution. She is Mrs. Dod Procter, painter of the picture "Morning," which The London Daily Mali acquired for the British Nation in 1927 and which was exhibited all over England as well as in the United States. The only two other women to be A.R.A.'s before her have been Mrs. Annie L. Swynnerton, elected in 1922 (she died last October, aged 88), and Dame Laura Knight, elected in 1927. There have been no women R.A.'s since Angelica Kauffman and Mary Moser became Foundation Members in 1768. Man Also Elected Mrs. Procter is one of two new associates who have been elected to fill the vacancies caused by the re- cent elevation of lar. Russell Flint and Terrick Williams to full academic hoaors. The other is Meredith Fra.mpton, also a well-known painter and son of the well-known sculptor, the late Sir George Frampton, R.A. (designer of the Peter Pan statue in Kensing- ton Gardens and the Nurse Cavell Memorial). Both have been for many years steady contributors to the Academy shows, and the work of both is con- spicuous by the excellency of draughtsmanship. Husband Also an A.R.A. Mrs. Dori Procter now shares the honor of being an A.R.A. with her husband, Ernest Procter, who was elected two years ago. They are the leaders of the Corn- wall group. After Mrs. Prater had come into prominence in 1927 with "Morning," her picture "Girl in a Petticoat," was awarded one of the eight prizes at the amnia' International Exhibition of Paintings at Pittsburgh in 1928. As a result of her election, the Royal Academy now includes two married couples among its associates. Dame Laura Knight and her husband Harold Knight were the first couple to achieve this distinction. NeW York,—Miss Louise Auchin- does has admitted that she and Ed- ward Hutchinson Robbins, son of Wa- rren Delano Robbins, *United States Minister to Canada, are planning to marry. "However, we have not an- nounced our engagement as yet," Miss Auchincloss said. aoe Jungle Cat The night creeps up with jungle stealth To arch her sable back Against the roofs and chimney -pots And rub a velvet track. She captures all the silver mice That, gnawing through the sky, Are pounced upon and held for toys Before they scamper by. She rolls the world between her paws And lifts a wary tail When rustling leaves moves in the wind Or stars begin to fail. She prowls along the fence of dreams And loiters with a yawn Until, annoyed by barking dogs, She springs away at dawn. —Muriel Jeffries Hard, Few Male Teachers hi England Because Men Want -"Plums" Dr. H. Critchton-Mifler's statement at a recent meeting of the Lon -don, (England), Women's Council that "school teaching is regarded by the community at large as a very useful way of using up superflous unmar- ried women" has inet with indignant denials from many educational authorities. Miss E. E. Froud, secretary of the National Union of Women Teachers said: Dr. Critchton-Miller seemed to have an extraordinary bias against women and women's work, though he is a man of science. "There are two reasons why there are fewer men teachers," Miss Fround added. "Teaching is a very difficult job and men don't like it, and when men come in they want only the plums." Frank Roscoe, secretary of the Royal, Society of Teachers said: "Dr. Crichton -Miller's statement is not only bold but somewhat wild Wo- men have a definite place in our school system. Their services in the infant schools of this country have commanded the admiration of edu- cationists throughout the world." The country does feel that a school -mistress is as good as a schoolmaster, Mr. Roscoe thought, because the average parent recog- nizes that for all young children teaching by women is best. The More Beautiful Canada Cam- paign Committee of the Canadian Horticultural Committee has been ased to urge the various highways de- partments of the Dominion to eStab- lish a definite policy within their scope in the beautification and adorn- zueut of Canada. Medica Skill Laliander—The 'successful birth the Dionne quintuplets at Corbel near here, was a triumph for country practitioner who has brougl( between 1,400 and 1,500 children inti the world, Dr. Allan Roy Defoe is an old school physician who has practice in Callander for twenty-eight yeare and he says the Dionne event wal "similar to what any country 'prom titioner encounters." Admirers of the middle-aged physi clan call him the most brilliant ab stetrician in the North and are grati fied that the country doctor has be come widely known through the Di onne case. Dr. Defoe conies of a family 01 physicians. His father was one ant his brother now practices In Toronto He was born in Madoe, Ont.. of Unit ed Empire Loyalist stock, and at tended college in Toronto, graduat ing in 1908. He has attended many unusua cases. and assisted at the birth of qua druplets in Burks Falls some year1 ago, but none of his patients have attained the fame of the Dionne girls Speaking of his years spent the North, the physician remarked that things are much easier for the country doctor now that he is able to use an automobile to make hie calls. In the days of poor roads he travelled thousands of miles through all sorts of weather with a horse and buggy. He has had to contend with the usual inconveniences of the rurai practitioner: lack of hospitals, the poverty of patients, difficulty of trave and of securing the proper assistance and aids to the profession. Recently a meeting with a Nadi Bay woman recalled to a forme) nurse a case which he attended twen ty years ago. A woman attempted to commit suicide by shooting, and Dr Defoe travelled over a lake by sleigh to attend her. He found a bullet -ha blown away a part of her brain anf she had been lying on a cold floor for four hours. Through his expert car she recovered and now is living it North Bay. New Cancer Hospital For Helsingfors A new $1,000,000 hospital for the treatment of cancer will be .erected in Helsingfors soon, according to Miss Kyllikki Pohjala, one of the 14 women members of the Finnisl Parliament, who is visiting Nes York. ' Speaking of prohibition repeal is Finland, she said the people were satisfied with government control ol liquor sales and had no desire fos the return of the saloons. The tae from liquor sales, she added, was not as great as had been anticipated Turkish Language Being Modernized You can have a permanent "ondu- lasyon" in Turkish hairdressers now. Turkey has been modernizing the language and putting it into Latin characters. Etymologists are horri- fied because the modernization is be- ing done in many trades by replac- ing the original Turkish words by phonetic French. This, in addition to the "ondulas- yon", hairdressers offers a "friksyon" and a "m'ainikur." Shops display such signs as "Manto", Kostum," for robes, 'slant les and costumes. Edmonton,—H. L.
