PERFECT CURRY. -
How To Make it.
The making "of a good curry means more than the mere sprinkl- ing in of a little curry powder; it requires both time and trouble. In the perfect curry both a "sweet and sour flavour should be found. A Fatick of rhubarb, half à sour apple, or the jufce of half a lemon will provide the sour flavour; the sweet favour can be obtained by using chutney with red currant jelly or a few sultanas and chopped raisins, The slightly nutty flavour which must also be present in the good curry is obtained by making an in- lusion of nuts. Pour about half a pint of boiling water on two table- spoonfuls of desiccated coconut, cover, and leave for half an hour.

WOMEN IN RUSSIA.
The central branch of the Women Citizens' Association in Manchester met recently at the Pioneer Club to hear a description of conditions in Russia from Mrs. Helen Bentwich, who has lately returned from that country.
The chief discovery made by the traveller in Russia, she said, was that there were two versions of Russia. There was a sinister Rus- Bla. a changing relic of the old days, which tried summarily and without publicity prisoners accused of work. ing against the State, and might shoot or send them to an island in the White Sea, or to the mines.
