Set back in warm place for another two hours or until light; then, without kneading or add ing flour, cut the dough into cakes about the size of a big black walnut. Put on a buttered tin, not too close together, set in warm place for an hour, then fry in hot lard. It takes these doughnuts a little longer to cook through than it does fried cake. For those who do not have hop yeast, set up first the sponge by using yeast cake soaked in one cup full of warm water, instead of two cup fuIs of light bread sponge, as pre- viously directed, but after this pro- ceed just as when the light sponge is used.
 Another excellent recipe is to make a dough of one pound of flour, one fourth pound of butter, three-fourths pound of brown sugar, rolled fine and sifted, one nutmeg, grated, one tea spoonful of ground cinnamon, one tablespoonful of brewers yeast and

one egg, one-fourth teaspoonfu1 of nutmeg (grated) and little ci1Ana- mon. Sift the flour and put in a bowl with the salt, soda, cream of tartar and spices. Rub the butter in with the fingers, add the sugar, then the wellbeaten egg and the sour milk. Stir it into soft dough and toss out on a well-foured molding board. Pat and roll 1t einto one fourth of an inch in thickness, then cut out the doughnuts and fry in deep fat, turning them as soon as they come to the top. When nicely brown ed on both sides lift by a fork passed through the hole in the center and drain on brown paper. When cool roll in powdered sugar. When ready to serve fill the center and pile daint- fly on top some whipped cream sweet ened and favored with lemon and va nil1a extract Put a candied cherry in the center of each and serve at once.

enough warm milk to mix. Set in warm place to rise for an hour or until light; then form into twists or squares, fry in hot lard and drain on a sieve. To knead out the dough, spread some flour on your mo1ding board, take the dough out of the pan and knead it, rolling it out into large square sheet, about half an inch thick; take tagging iron or sharp knife, run it along the sheet and cut the dough into long, narrow slips; twist these up in various forms and fry.
 Sour MiIk and Soda Doughnuts
 Two cupfuls of sugar, three eggs, piece of butter the size of wal nut, two-thirds of a cupful of sour milk, one-half nutmeg (grated), enough flour to make a soft dough, a scant teaspoonfu1 of soda and pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly, roll out on the moldtng board, cut with 8 cake cutter, leaving a small hole in the center of each doughnut. Fry in hot lard until nicely Drowned. Take up, drain and roll in powdered sugar. When you hear man talk of the doughnuts his mother used to make you may be sure they were sour milk doughnuts, for her baking was done before baking powder was used so extensively. Baking Powder Douehnuts
 But of the baking powder recipes the following are the best: Mix, by sitting two or three times, two round ed teaspoonfuIs of baking powder with one quart of flour; beat two eggs, one coffeecupfu1 of sugar and one teacupfu1 of sweet, rich milk, pinch of salt and grated nutmeg to

Divide the si1koline into two equal parts, place in a frame and put in layers of cotton between, ready for tying. Tie the ribbons all in tiny bows. Thread the needle with the Shetland floss, using it double; bring the needle up from the bottom, then down again, taking stitch through one of the bows. Tie the yarn on the wrong side with three or four extra needles tied in the knot to make a small tuft.

 To one cupful of sugar add two teaspoonfuls of butter, one-haIf nut meg (grated), and 8 pinch of salt. Cream well together and add two eggs, beaten without separating yolks and whites.

To Make White Lace Yellow

White lace, net, tulIe, or anything of similar texture, can quickly be transformed into a cream-wh1te or the fashionable yellow shade in a very simple way. It being a dry method, the lace loses none of it's newness, and the most delicate lace may be subjected to this treatment without harm.
 Put a quantity of ochre Cyellow), in box or paper bag, drop the ma teriaI inside, and shake the box until the powder has sufficiently tinted the lace. After removing the material, shake out any superduous powder. If a pale tint is wanted, mix rice powder with the ochre. Dingy-lOok- ing lace waists may take on a new if treated to an ochre bath.
