The secret of making black, moist de-
hcious fruit cake lies not so much in the
ingredients used in the manner of mix
ing and baking. The mixing should be
most thorough, many of the confectionerS
and best cake makers kneading it with
their hands in order to insure the proper
blending. The baking must be continued
for five hours at the least, at so moderate
q heat that at the end of that time the cake
will be moist as possible and yet firm
enough to ho.d together. No cake will be
of the proper colcr or quality if too rapidly
baked, even when the best ingredients are
used. Boston woman famous for her
wedding cake, which nets her nearly dol
lar per pound, always mixes her cake the
day before it is to be baked and then sets
it away In the ice chest to ''ripen." The
true fruit cake contains but little batter
in proportion to it's fruit. 1t does not rise
rapidly when put in the oven, but swells

From the Millinery Trade Review
The question of such importance to a
large class of dealers and manufacturers,
the ribbon question, is solved in the af-
firmative. Ribbons hold very prominent
place among trimmings. Probably more
complete satisfaction will be given to the
trade later on, but for the present orders
are almost entirely restricted to plain tat
fetas ribbons; these will undoubtedly keep
their place for smart millinery, and rich
