Cocoanut Bag.

"There is nothing new under the sum- is
an old saying that has come down to us from
the ages and vet if we only take note of the
wonderful bags and baskets that have been
evolved from the fertile brain of the fancy
work devOtee, an i the various uses to which
they are put we will certainly admit that
some things do really seem new. Perhaps
the cocoanut button bag may be las old as
bills to the readers but it was new to us,
hence. thought we would offer it for the
benefit of others like myself. The button
bag is made of half q cOcOanut and old
gold silk. Two holes are bored in the b 1T
tom of the cocoa ut shell; out of the silk
bag lis made having casing run in the hem
at the top, through which ribbon had been
inserted. By means of this ribbon draw
string the bag could be opened and clOsed
adj libitum. Bv means of another ribbon
fastened to the bottom of the bag and drawn
through the holes in the half shell the bag
was fastened securely within the cOcoanut.
Long loops and ends of the ribbon hanging
below added to the effect.
This is but another hint to our South Flor
ida gills as to how to pass away the long te-
dious summer DAYS.

ing power of sugar. Cook these together
until the mixture clings to the spoon. Add
the whites OF one and a half eggs and stir
vigorously until the egg cooks. Put into a
wet pan and cover with wet paper and
chill on ice. After the mixture is cooled,
shape in cakes and put OF buttered and
Toured paper. This rule makes about
twenty cakes.
To keep dish from slipping on the ice
put cheese cloth over the ice and set the

Let us take time to speak sweet, foolish

Let us take time to be pleasant. The

one bobbing up at all times in peevish

An now the freeze has given us a new

anyway, among the gentler sex than with
the average man. To these women we

A Clumsy Art.

Some one has terseIv said that grumbling
might we'll be denominated as the clumsy
art. 1t certainly can be as it requires no
skill to practice it. Indeed the less the skill
the better the grumbler, 1T requires no long
course of training as we will all readily tes-
tifv. In fact. notice if you please in the last
two months, how the art has spread in our
State alone since the frefze--and among
our own sex too. True it is few examples
existed before this and 1t is of these we wish
to mention. We want this clumsy art rele-
gated entirely to such degree as to be-
come a lost art.
1t was not intended for women to grumble
and when they leave off grumbling we pre-
dict that men will desist also.
There is nothing that will detract more
from the pleasures of, say picnic party,
than to have in their company even one So

rewards for faithful service to the State rem

roval arms over their doors because their
various wares were bought by personages of
illustrious degree.
Some Of the posts are entirelv ornamental

New Cakes.


A CORES pendent asks for something new
in the cake Ene and in glapcing aver Wo
mans Interests for last month we find the
Boston Cooking school devoted morning
not long since to the above work, repro
ductlon of which we give. There are five
cakes given and we hope the inquirer will
find something in them to help her.
The rule for pound cake is as follows.
Wash and cream six ounces, or three quar-
ters of cup of butter, add slowly one half
pound or one and one-eighth cuD of fine
granulated sugar, the yolks OF five eggs
beaten until lemon coIored, and the whites
of five eggs stiff and dry. Add one half
-four with, one half salt spoonful of mace
one-half level spoonful of baking powder
mixed with one tablespoonful of milk and
one teaspoontul of vanilla. Beat thoroughly
and put into pan that has been buttered
and sprinkled with -four which should pe
shaken out. Bake in slow oven one and
one-half to two hours, The cake may be
baked in small pans.
RECIPE FOR ANGEL CAKE
differs somewhat from that generally used.
Beat one cupful of the whites of eggs which
will take ten or twelve eggs, until foamlng.
Add six ounces or seven-eighths cup of
graduated sugar and continue beating.
Fold in one and one-half ounces or halt
Cupful of -four ard generous quarter cup
full of corn starch mixed and sifted with
rounding teaspoonful of cream tartar and
one-half tablespoonful of salt. Add tea.
spoonful Of vanilla. Bake in an unbut-
tered angel cake pan III a moderate oven
from forty-five to fifty minutes. The pan
should be wet before the mixture is poured
in.
For Mocha cake bake sponge cake mix
ture in sheets. Cut in rounds, split, put
two, three or more together with frOstng.
Frost the sides and roll in dessicated cocoa
nut Ornament the top with frosting
pressed through pastry bag.
For the frostng use one half cup of but.
ter, add gradually one cup of powdered
sugar and beat until creamy. Add one cup
of cream filling made of one cup of milk,
one egg, one scant half cup of sugar, a scant
one quarter cup of -four AMI a half table,
spoonful of salt. Flavor to taste. color and
cool.
This frosting may be varied by different
favorings and colorings The original re-
cipe called for favoring of coffee extract
and hence the name.
CREAM SPONGE CAKE
may be III ade by the following rule: Sep
arate the yoks and whites of four eggs.
Beat the volks until thick. add one cup of
fine graduated sugar, three tablespoonfuls
of cold water, a teaspoonful of extract of
lemon. NIX and sift scant cup of four,
and ore and One-haf evel tablespoonful
OF corn sta CHI "n' q tarfer to.-p' ,nf1, Of
salt, one teaspOont ii OF baking wider meas
ured slightly roun ding. Combine the two
mixtures and fold in the whites If the eggs
beaten stiff. Bake this sponge cake in a
moderate oven and when done it will shrink
from the pan.
1t costs about as much TO make cocnanut
cakes as to buy them but where they can
not be obtain ed fresh it is sometimes good
