FARMER.

The death occurred at Cromer last month, of Mr. James Herbert Farmer, an old Harrovian, who was one of the founders of the Middle- ex County Football Association, and for some years up to 1889 acted as secretary, a post in which he was succeeded by Mr. F. J. Wall, the present secretary of the Foot ball Association. He was also a member of the M.C.C.

An order was issued by the Pre sident, H.G. Morphett (Brasenose); suspending practice for the Torpid Races owing to the dangers of the situation. In company with most of the members of the crew he in- spested the upper river as far as the Trout at Godstow, but found the conditions even worse than on the home course.

Ideal but bitterly cold weather favoured this revival of the greatest skating tradition of Holland. It was quite dark when 300 competi tors, started out shortly after five o'clock. M.

THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

IN THE KITCHEN IN YOUR HOME BED-TIME BEVERAGES.

If you are given to light slumber, a heavy meal late in the evening is very likely to turn an otherwise Tony dream adventure into a near- nightmare.

Light cakes or desserts as a rule hold no midnight horrors as after math, and if the cupboard is bare of these, it is much better to with- hold any meatier feats of baking and let toast and marmalade com- prise the lunch for late hanger appeasement.

In the event of a scarcity of milk, fresh or canned, a prepared bottled chocolate drink will fill the bill.

An eggnog, favoured with vanilla, is particularly good as well as nourishing, "A more unusual eggnog may be made with orange juice in- stead of milk. To a well-beaten egg. add the juice of one orange and beat it thoroughly. Add two or three teaspoons of maple syrup, benting until well blended. If the orange is small, use two oranges to one egg.

Hot malted milk with egg is de licious when properly made and seasoned. Use two egge to four tablespoons of malted milk. Mix the malted milk in a cup to a smooth paste with little boiling water Beat the egg yolks until light and add, and the whites, atiffly beaten later just before | serving." Add one and one-third cups of hot milk and vanilla or nutmeg to taste. Stir until smooth.

PRUNE SAVOURY.

There are people who prefer savoury to finish off a meal, and it is often difficult to think of something light and tasty to suit them. This little recipe may help.

Get thin slices of streaky bacon, neat in shape, and wrap the stuffed prunes in these, fastening thear with a tiny skewer, or tying up with cotton. If cotton is used, it must be removed before sending to the table. Now fry the rolls until the bacon is crisp all over, and serve piping hot.
