pressed or in dry cakes. Both are made
from the yeasts taken from the watts in
which malt extracts have been fer
menting. The compressed, after hav-
Ing been washed and cleaned, is pressed
and cut into cakes. Because it is
moist 1t will keep but a limited time

made by mixing the fresh yeast with

When ordinary liquid yeast is made
it is liable TO be filled with yeasts or

II the readers win compare the fore

March considerable difference will be
shown, for the methods Of mixing
dough are various. 1t is the general
rules that apply to all, and these should
be known.
To begin with, yeast develops best at
temperature of from Is to 90 degrees
Fahrenheit. But too high a tempera-
ture viii kill the yeast and too low VII

The liquid materials should be luke
warm and the bread kept from drafts

TO have light, porous loaf thorough
kneading is not alone necessary, but it
must be borne IN mind that there Is a
somewhat liked relation between the
amount Of yeast and -four. Too little
yeast means badly raised loaf, too
much a heavy, soggy, yeasty one The
amount OF yeast depends largely on the
strength Of the -four, which means the
quality or abundance OF gluten present.

come as a pleasant and practical
change from the too universal coat and
skirt costume, no matter how hand
some the latter may be. Monsieur
Worth has produced a fascinating
shoulder cape which he calls "Camar-
go" the name Of a Spanish dancer once
famous in Paris. Made of taupe- col
orad velvet-the same shade as the
long skirted gowns of crepe meteore,
with which 1t is worn--it is trimmed
with strips of shaded brown and gray
fur arranged in bretelle fashion. The
handsome ornament that clasps the
cape at the middle Of the back is
of agaric embroidery. A portion of the
corsage shows between the sloping
bands of fur. a particularly graceful
feature of this cape is the plated
basque back, falling on the sides in
jabot folds It is an Odette muff which
this stately dame holds in one hand
an immense muff composed of velvet
frills strapped at one side of a cir
cling band of the same fur that trims
