We Sure to Walk Gracefully.
One of the most important points
in the culture of physical beauty Is
the attainment of graceful carriage.
Children cannot begin too young to
learn how to balance their bodies
and pose their heads gracefully. All
kinds of bad habits may be guarded
against II department. is taught early
but 1t Is no easy matter to overcome
slovenly gait when child ia grown
up. The mos beautiful woman
loses more than half her charm II
she strides rather than walks, swings
her arms from side to side, or awk-
wardly moves her shoulders and
hips when walking. Grace of ex-
preston Is as important as grace of
movement, and with some people
these little charms seem to be natural
possessions.
The following measures OF capacity
may be found useful to hang In the
kitchen for easy references:
4 even teaspoonfuls liquid=l even
tablespoonful.
3 even teasponnfuls dry material
| even tablespoonful.
l6 tablespoonful liquid=l cupful.
IL tablespoonful dry material=l
cupful.
2 cupfuls=l pint.
1 cupfuls=l quart.
4 cupfuls fiour=l quart or pound
2 cupfuls solid butter=l pound.
2 cupfuls granulated SUGAR.
pound.
Pc cupfuls powdered sugar=l
pound.
lpint milk or water=1 pound.
l dozen eggs should weigh IL
pounds.
Skim milk is heavier than whole
milk, and cream is lighter than
either, while pure milk is three per
cent. heavier than water.
The following table of proportions
Is also valuable. Use
teaspoonful soda to cupful mo-
lasses.
teaspoonful soda to l pint sour
milk.
3 teaspoonfuls baking powder to
quart of flour.
p cupful of yeast or d cake COM
pressed yeast to pint liquid.
teaspoonful extract to loaf plain
cake.
teaspoonful salt to quarts -four,
teaspoonful salt to quart soup.
scant cupful of liquid to 3 full
cupfuls of -four for bread.
scant cupful of liquid to 2 full
cupfuls of flour for mullins.
scant cupful of liquid to l full
cupful of flour for batters.
quart of water to each pound OF
meat and bone for soup stock.
Butter the size of an egg" is a
very indifinite mode of measurement
and more satisfactory way of ex-
| pressing the same amount is to say
"a heaping tablespoonful" or one
quarter of cupful.
A tablespoonful of melted butter
means tablespoonful vi butter after
melting, while a tablespoonful of
butter melted, means tablespoonful
measured before melting.
Sugar, salt, flour, soda, spices, and
mustard especially, should always
be sifted or stirred up lightly before
measuring, as when packed they are
compressed to much less than their
rightful bulk for measuring.
An even or scant teaspoonful means
a spoon filled lightly and leveled
with a knife to the surface of the
spoon, while heaping spoonful
means all the spoon will hold of any
sifted material. In using solids
especially butter or lard, a knife
should be employed to deftly ever
off the superfluous amount.
An even cupful of anything means
a cup full to the brim, so full tina
only the steadiest hand can carry i
without splitting. A "brimming'
cupful, as its name indicates, is {
cup running over. A scant cupfu
lacks a quarter or half inch of reach
ing the top of the measure, while ;
solid cupful is something packed al
firmly as Is possible.-Good House
