PLAIN STATEMENTS.
How One Woman Tells Another How to
Make a Pudding.

Make Pudding.
This is about the way one women
tells another how to make pudding:
"If it's to be a small pudding. why,
of course, don't use much flour, and
the bigger it's to be, why, the more
-four take. Sometimes l have to use
a great deal of flour, and then again l
can very often get up quite pudding
without having to use very much. You
see, it depends a good deal on the
baking powder. If that's real good it
don't make so very much difference
about the -four, you know"
81 suppose you use raisinsV'
"Well, now, sometimes l do, and
then, sometimes l don't. 1t depends
altogether on whether L want it very
rich or not, and what kind of sauce L
am going to use. Of course, the richer
i want it the more raisins | put in;
but if the sauce is to be very rich you
must be careful about the pudding, or
you will be sure to get it too much So
The best way is to make your pudding
first, and then fix your sauce to match
| it."
llOW luuiil StlSt Ill w y Ou UbhO'
"Well, now, some folks takes good
deal and some folks don't. AS for me,
/ never did like to have any thing too
sweet, and for that reason I'm always
careful not to get in too much sugar.
After you've made it once or twice you
won't have particle of trouble in get
ting it just to suit you.'
"How many eggs do you use?" \,
''Well, now, that's the beauty of it.
With this kind of pudding it don;
make so very much difference how
many you take. If you've got pleaty
of eggs and you're going to make o big
pudding, why, you can put in several;
it won't hurt; but if eggs are scarce,
you can get along with one or two just
as well, and nobody will ever notice
the difference"
"Do you mix your dough with
milk?"
"Well, now, sometimes | do, but its
not so very particular about that. II
you've got plenty of milk and don't
need it for any thing else itwon't hurt
to use it, but if you haven't, why, don t
do it. If you get everything else right
it won't matter about the milk at all. "
"How about spices?"
"Use 'em if you want to. Some
folks likes 'em, and think myself they
rather help pudding sometimes, es-
pecially if you use plain sauce. But
you must follow your own taste about
that and if you don't get it right the
first time, don't blame me, for I've
done my very best to tell you just ex'
actly how to do it and all about it. y

a second article, giving an account of the
