WHILE WIFE WAS AWAY
LONE MANS EXPERIENCE WITH
BAKING OF A CAKE.
Recipe In the Women's Home Guide
Was Simple Enough, but the Re-
suit Was Far From Sat-
isfaetory.

Il think it said a slow oven,' said
the man. He knelt on the spattered
kitchen floor and peeped into the
oven. ''Whatn thunder's a slow oven,
anyway"
AS he looked within. the oven began
. curious movement, and he watched ii
fascinated.
Something in q square pan had been
ballooning out several inches. and even
as he looked it began to recede. even
as bubble grows smaller when a
child cautiously removes a finger
from the spool with which 1t is
blown.
Huh" said the man: that's
funny" Then it occurred to him that
draft Of cold air had struck his cake.
causing it to fall. and he hurriedly
slammed the oven door and heaped
wood on the fire in order that it rise
again.
1t is not necessary to say the man
was alone. It might be well to say,
however. that his womankind had
gone of on a visit. and lest some
think him insane. to state that he had
been reading recipes in the Women's
Home Guide until his tongue hung
out
The Home Guide was explicit in say
ing that such a cake was easy to
make. and the man. searching the
kitchen. found all the ingredients
The temptation was too great, and
he began making a cake
1t should have been a good cake,
for he had been very careful. True,
he couldn't remember the difference
between a tablespoon and teaspoon
full until he had put three tablespoon
fuls of baking powder in-heaping
spoonfuls-but. as everybody knows,
that should make the cake lighter.
One of the eggs looked bit pale
and washed out, and he rejected that,
using only two. and he had added a lit
tie sugar to the quantity. because he
liked cake sweet. But, generally speak
ing. he had made the cake according to
directions.
He cautiously opened the open again.
and with cloth jerked the cake out
and slammed it on the table. Then
he stood back and looked at it. Some
thing was wrong. that was certain.
1t was of curious dun color. and
had great bulge in the middle. while
all about the bulge was a dip like a
surrounding valley. Also the edges
were not dun color. but black The
bottom also was black, though much of
the black stuck to the pan.
Then the man tasted his cake. Yes.
something was wrong. Ii was soft as
library paste and summy beyond be-
lief.
The man did not hesitate He Open
ed the back door and cast the cake
into outer darkness. and with diligence
began washing up the dishes. for
there were dishes that seemed to in
dictate that he had been trying TO make
a cake. and the folks would be back
In the morning.
And. when all was clean. he lighted
his pipe and took up magazine.
Cake? Not much. He never wanted
to see cake again.
The Magazine was no, the Women's
Home Guide.-Qalveston News.
