room, fronting on Twenty-third street on the
parlor floor and he slowly, as if il were

Of autumnaI crispness in the air and he had
fire, that glittered and threw shadows about
ftfully. There was not much TO say 1t was
plain at last that Mr.. Blaine was fading, that
he had within few weeks failed fast. His
great, bright eyes were greater than ever, but
not so bright. His face was awfully white !:
not that brainy pallor that was familiar

light of the fire. on an easy-chaiT. There was
knock at his door, and a servant handed
him card, and he said, "No;u and we

CAKE MAKING.
To make a smooth. white cake remember
that the bowl should be round and clean. Do
not use tin, as the sugar scours the pan and
makes the cake dark. Do not work the in
gradients with your hand, as the heat makes
the butter oily; ald never melt the butter, but
soften near the stove if too hard to work.
In measuring use a teacup, as cofleecup
spoils the proportions between the eggs and the
other ingredients. Beat the eggs separately,
even when The yoks to be used, and re-
member that the yolks need as much beating
as the whites, or the cake will taste like pud-
ding.
Never use stale butter as the heat intensifes
the bad odor and flavor instead of killing it,
and remember that no flavor will disguise the
taste. DO not grease your pans with butter,
but with little lard or suet, and be careful not
TO use too much, as it makes the cake soggy in
the bottom.
Cakes containing much butter require slow
oven; cakes without butter, quick oven; in
termedate cakes. a moderate oven. And re-
member that no matter how well you mix, your
cake win be failure if not~properly baked.
DO not fire up after your cabe1s in; and il ad-
ditional fuel is needed, as in fruit cakes, which
require long baking, let it be done so as to pre-
serve the temperature even.
After the cake has been five minutes in the
oven you may open the door; if it is beginning
to brown. open the drafts and cool the oven
little; otherwise, shut the oven and let it
alone. Never take your cake from the oven to
try it until it is set T" in the center; after
that you may run in broom splint, and If it
comes out clear it is done. Some people cool
their cakes in the pan, but they are nicer
turned ont and placed cloth sieve and
cooled slowly.
When you are ready to make cake have
your table all cleared off and your utensils,
bright and clean. all set out; be sure your
spoon is as bright as your bowl. Have your
recipe before you and weigh or measure your
materials.
Sift the -four before measuring, and If it is
heavy use scant cups, or your cake will be too
stiff. IL is generally better TO hold back
little -four until you have tested the batter
with "try cake" Remember, you can
thicken but cannot thin your cake success.
fully.
BE sure your egg-beater is perfectly clean,
as eggs will not get light otherwise; the same
if fork or knife is used in beating.
1t is usual TO sift the baking-powdcr in the
-four, but expert cake-bakers hold the eggs and
baking powder until the last and put them in
just before the cake goes into the oven in this
way fermentation does not begin too soon.
