IMPROVES ALL KINDS OF PIES,

Home without mother is hardly
sadder than home without pie

tards, plain and gorgeous-every sort
Of pie, indeed that it has entered into
the human mind to concoct and the
store room to furnish forth. Each and
several, these can be baked in paper
bags to their great improvement. The
improvement is particularly marked
in the case of tartlets and turnover,
Of which the paste is SO essential a
part. Doubt 1t who will, the fact re-
mains that pie crust is better, fakier,
of richer flavor and more digestible
when cooked in a bag than when
cooked naked. 70.
Along with the pies do not forget
dumplings. The open-faced sort-my
special delight-for a while seemed to
me taboo paper bag cooked. But love

Getting Mems Prizes

men. Instead OF giving the cap to his
