releasing carbon dioxide, a gas which
is to make the cake light. The claim
is that If put in at the last. after the
batter has been well beaten, nearly
all the gas is available for raising the
cake. Whereas, if sifted with the flour
and added with 1t to the cake, that
much strength is lost. The best way
Is probably to experiment and find out
which method brings the best result
with your baking powder and your
way of doing.
The most difficult muscular part Of
cake making is the dreaming OF the
butter and the sugar. If the butter
is very cold and hard it is better to
bring it to the kitchen some time be-
fore needed, for It should be about 20
degrees F. to be successfully and easily
creamed. The mixing bowl may be
heated with hot water before begin
ming to cream the butter, but the but
ter itself should never be heated or
melted except by standing in the room,
whose temperature may or may not
be particularly warm. Cream the but
ter in a bowl with a wooden spoon,
then add the sugar gradually stirring
carefully. The butter should first be
of q soft, creamy consistency and
when sugar is added, sufficient beating
must be done to have the mixture
creamy and not like hard sauce. If the
sugar has not dissolved before the
cake is baked. the grains. in melting
in the cake in the oven, make holes in
the cake and spoil the texture. Coarse
grained cake again and again comes
from not sufficiently mixing and beat
ing in the sugar.
If one egg only is to be used, it
should be beaten very light without
separating, and added to the butter

ton. The whites. Of eggs are beaten
to break UP the tenacious albumen and
fill 1t with air. In order to accomplish
this the egg must be lifted, not beaten
round and round, and the air admitted.
Salt should be added, a small amount
to every cake, to enhance or bring out
it's flavor, and If it is added to the
whites while they are being beaten, it
hastens the process by taking up some
Of the water. The eggs should be suf-
flciently dry to stick to the platter, and
as they cannot stand after being
beaten without separating, they should
be used without any great delay.
In mixing the whites of the eggs
with the batter, lift and fold them in;
do not beat again. Stirring indicates
a circular motion; beating lifting, in
which the ingredients are turned over
and over; but folding in means a
gentle motion-a vertical downward
move and a deft turning over OF the
mixture, folding in as much at time
as possible. Stirring mixes ingredients;
beating incorporates air; folding or
cutting in retains the air already in

pearance Of roundness to the bust and
neck. The bones are hidden by It, the
muscular inequalities are smoothed out.
It is therefore desirable for those who
lack bust development because they are
thin to take means of increasing their
flesh by eating more, and by taking
fats in their food or in the form Of
cod liver oil. Rubbings with fat SUBJ

Deep Breathing to
Develop the Bust
Exercises Are the Best Method Both of Increasing a
Flat Chest and Decreasing Excessive Fu1ness

aid, for it is often not so much that
the breasts are too small, but because
the chest is undeveloped, that it ap-
pears pinched. contracted, an appear
ance which casts down the aspirant
for good looks. The chest should be
carried well forward. 1t has been de-
scribed as if one had a rosette upon
the breast bone, a rosette which is not
fastened and which will fall off if the
body is not maintained in just such a
position as to make it stay. The frame
work of the chest the breastbones and
the ribs, form the underlying founda-
ton OF the bust. They also form the
bony cage of the lungs. This frame
work can be improved and the whole
bodily health brought to a higher de-
gree of perfection by it's expansion.
This is accomplished by deep breath
ing. Take long inhalations Of pure
air, expanding the lungs slowly, and
then as gradually breathe the air out.
The exercise makes one dizzy at first,
and not more than a half dozen such
deep, long breaths can be taken, but
If such exercises are persisted in night
and morning, gradually increasing the
number of inhalations up to twenty-five

fill and foundations are laid for the
bust development which is so greatly
desired. Upon the bony framework are
placed the muscles in the form of great
folds Of flesh attached the length of the
brea stbone, and from there they extend
in a triangular shape to the arm. These
form the second layer of the founda-
lions Of the bust, and IL these muscles
are well developed they give a very de-
sirable support. These deep-breath-
ing exercises will accomplish this, as
win also certain exercises which bring
them into play. The best one Of these

beneficial for chest development that 1

and bring them together over the

not go back any great ways. When
drawing the elbows back take a long,
deep breath, initiating the lungs well.
Repeat these exercises, beginning with
half a dozen or so and increasing them
after the manner Of the deep breathing
exercises. If you use a tape-measure
and measure the chest from time to
time you will be surprised to find how
much 1t will be increased. I have seen

Between the muscles and the skin,
with it's underlying layer Of fat, is
placed the gland tissue which forms
the breasts. In young girls the gland
tissue is not much developed, and in
fact it does not look well If there Is a
great abundance of 1T. An increase of
gland tissue can be obtained by gentle
massage and by the use Of hot and cold
water. Water as hot as one can bear

AN often asked TO give advice upon
this somewhat delicate subject. 1t
certainly detracts from the appear
ence to be flat-chested and unde-
ve1oped. but greater is the detraction
for those who have too much fulness.
Those who are thin and fat can easily
remedy the defect by wearing some
thing to give the proper appearance,
but care must be taken that whatever
appliance is worn 1t be of such ma
ture as not to press upon the body, for
pressure will injure the delicate gland
tissue and cause further shrinkage. If
only a little padding is needed light
material that is starched can be used
such as swiss or tarlatan, lightly
placed inside --ne corset or walls. If
bust development is entirely wanting,
the light framework that can be OBJ
tanned from any dealer in corsets will
answer better. Pads which are wadded
with wool or cotton are often injurious,
not alone because Of the pressure, but
because they are heating; moreover, 1T
IS difficult to give to them contour
