woman, and / am grateful for 1t. IL Is
Salled
SCRIPTURE CAKE,
snd II reads like this:
Before making this cake read all the
passages OF Scripture carefully:
One cup OF butter, read Judges v. %;
two cups of sugar, read Jeremiah vi. 20;
.hree and one-half cups OF -four read
Kings iv, 22 two cups raisins. read

Genesis xiii. IL: one cup water, read
Genesis xiv 20; six eggs. read Isaiah X,

81; spice TO taste, read Kings X. 2. Fol-
low .Solomon's advice for making good
boys, found In Proverbs xiii. IL, and you

baking powder.
received a letter from Lilli Bridge a
few days ago, In which she sent me some
Of her favorite recipes. and / am sure
you will be glad to have a copy OF them.
The first one is
CHICKEN TOAST.
and n delicate and delicious toast II is:
Chop cold chicken fine; season with pep
per, salt and butter; add little milk
Just enough to cover the chicken; sim
mer fifteen minutes and serve hot on but
tered toast. OF course, In this you could
use the bits az chicken left over from
voast of boiled one. and IL is an excel
lent and economical way OF using them.
Some other good rules which she sent me
were for cakes, and IL there lis one article
of food above another which tries the
nerves of women to prepare It Is cake.
so here are the prescriptions for this
erve-destroying work:
MY FAVORITE WHITE CAKE.
One cup Of butter and three cups OF
powdered sugar, rubbed to a cream; add
one cup OF sweet milk, FIVE cups of -four,
the whites OF twelve eggs. one teaspoon
sul Of cream Of tartar one-half tea
spoonful of soda, one cup of shredded
citron.
CUP CAKES.
One cup OF butter, two cups OF sugar,
one-half cup of sweet milk. four eggs.
beaten separately; three and one e-half
cups of -four. one-half teaspoonful of
soda, one teaspoonful OF cream tartar;
flavor with lemon CT vanilla.
very nice sponge cake can be made
from the following rule, and the quanti-
~ Is sufficient for two good sized loaves.
Just try IT soms day and let me know IL
you have any better one
SPONGE CAKE.
One pound OF sugar, one-half pound
OF flour, nine eggs. leaving out three
yolks; the juice and grated. peel of one
lemon, and one and one-half wineglass
OF water. Pour the water over the
sugar. and let the mixture come to a
boil. Beat the eggs separately-the
whites to stiff froth and the yolks uIs-
oil they are thick; put them together and
add the hot sugar and water gradually,
and beat the whole until cold; then add
the -four and the lemon. / am sure you
will find all of these rules of Lilli
Bridges reliable and ever SO good.
In this last recipe the table of meas
ures which j sent you some time ago
should prove OF some value.
1t won't be very long now before the
summer wanderers will
Fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And silently steal for home
