SHORTCAKE is MOST
DELICIOUS DESERT
Dough Made of Sour Cream and
Soda Is Best.

First in the list OF strawberry desserts.
and, all in all, the most satisfactory for
a June dinner, is the strawberry short
cake. This is the testimony not of one
person or two but # is true by a sort OF
national acclamation.
Perhaps there is not a grain Of doubt
but that the original strawberry short
cake was made with very rich bis
cult dough, and so made before baking
powder was in general use-soda biscuit
dough-and made Of the small wild
strawberry. A rich dough in our grand
mothers day had plenty OF cream in it,
aud the finished product was called a
cream biscuit / know pretty positively
about this, for the first time 1 ever put
my hands to -four was In the making
of these same cream biscuits'-biscuits
shortened mostly with rich and heavy
sour cream.
These biscuits took the butter beauti-
fully, just as mullins made with cream
do, better than almost any baking pow
der biscuits are likely to do, and they
were consequently very hospitable TO
strawberry juice
Young cooks of to-day do not learn
the knack of using soda, but the straw
berry shortcake, made with sour cream
and soda, is the one most delicious cake,
and the undOubted original, from which
when IT is a bit yellow, as 1t ought never
to be, and even IL it Is a bit soggy' as
1t may turn out when made by the mex
perienced, IL has a taste when combined
with Strawberries that is the strawberry
shOrtcake taste.
Safe Strawberry ShOrtcalSe.
The safe strawberry shortcake-one
that will never be soggy-is one made
with baking powder and an egg, the
-four being sifted twice and perhaps
thrice over. The amount Of shortening
used may vary, but the more shortening,
within reason, the more Of a short cake
it is and the nicer with the berry juice.
The general proportions are as follows:
To one cup pastry flour, two teaspoons
Of baking powder, one-fourth teaspoon
of salt, add the shortening, from one to
four tablespoons of sugar, one egg or
only the yoIk or the white only, and a
good third of a cup of milk-always
make the dough as soft as II can be
handled From four TO six even table
spoons of butter may be used, or half
butter and half lsrd-the butter is, Of
course, best. One gets a daintier look
ing cake by using the white of egg only,
and one that is better tasting II the
cake cannot be eaten while warm. With
but little shortening a very good cold
whipped cream, can be made in this
way. When served hot a cake made
with the whole egg or the yolk only has
what most people would probably think
the more agreeable flavor.
A single cup of flour will make a nice
little cake for four people. Blend short

TAFFETA FICHUS ARE
MUCH IN FASHION

Tafeta fchus to be worn as small
street wraps in place Of boas are
among the attractive novelties in the
shops
They come in a great variety Of col
ors both in the plain and the shot silk.
Some of these fichus are bOrdered
with shallow ruffies of the silk. The
only other trimming is the black satin
ribbon, which is run through a bead
ing made in the silk around the inner
edge.
The ribbon is quite broad and is
crushed or plated before being run
through the beading.

New Color Schemes.

Navy blue and violet are dominating
colors in millinery, and are mixed very
artistieally with light threads of cerise,
orange, green, and gray straw. Even the
new flowers show the influence Of these
contrasting mixtures, and often some
novelties in their arrangements.
Poppies of shot taffetas succeed the
white poppies of velvet. Each petal rests
on another large petal OF green crepe de
chine, forming a border all round, while
the heart or center Of the flower is in
ostrich feathers, either black or yellow.
This is an amusing novelty for the spring
millinery

very gently for nearly two hours and
skim OF every particle Of fat that may

THE PROPER WAY
TO COOK GREENS

Wash as carefully as possible, letting
the water run on back Of plant especial
ly and through the root stems. Boil as
usual and when done draw to back of
stove. where the water will cease to boil
in the pan. Carefully skim out the
greens, putting them into a second empty
pan: then run the cold water on them
enough to cover them-and with the I'm
ger tips lift the greens from the water,
sousing once or twice Cas delicate lace
is washed).
Look at the bottom of the pan when
the greens are all out and see how much
sand has been washed OF. Now strain
the water they were boiled in through
cloth not a cheesecloth, as the mesh is
too open), and return the greens to the
strained water and let stay till ready TO
serve.
In this way the flavor is retained and
you won't get a grain Of sand to spoil
your enjoyment when eating. Sounds like
a lot Of trouble, but after they are ready
for their cleansing bath it really takes
about five minutes to render them
''groundiess."
Just a hint: When you are cooking
greens for the table. prepare an extra
peck and put up in glass jars; pack the
Jar with cooked greens and fill with the
water in which they were boiled. Open
in December or January and give jade
appetites a welcome surprise.

HORSE SALE !!
ON SATURDAY

CITY-GooD PRICES PAID
FOR GOOD swoCK-ALL
ARE SATISFIED.
NINETY HEAD ARE SOLD
Stock Amounting to Seventeen
Thousand Dollars Disposed of at
This Sale-1S3 Horses Sold
During the Week.
NINETY HEAD ARE SOLD

The Lemert & Filson horse sale
that was pulled off in Plymouth on
Saturday, April 9th. was an event
of more than ordinary interest. ID
did not draw the largest crowd ever
assembled here. though the numbers
of people on the streets were suffi-
cient to make it a good day for Ill
classes of merchants. While it was
Saturday and that day always brings
many to town, it is fair to presume
that a gooi fair proportion came be-
cause of he horse sale. Therefore
Messrs. Lemert & FilsOn are justly
entitled to credit for their part In
getting crowd to Plymouth.
The sale Saturday. was in every
sense successful. No man doing
business but got some benefit. The
town was helped In a business way.
During the week preceding this sale
Messrs. Lemert and Filson had sold
forty-three head of horses at priv
ate sale. They buy horses and sell
them. They expect in this business
to make a profit. just as the me-
chant in any other commodity should
have profit on his goods. On the
day of the sale they had ninety
horses to sell, and every animal that
was offered in the ring was sold.
This means sale that is certainly
worthy of tie name. A number of
the horses se.d went at loss to the
firm. They expect that occasionally
such sales will be made. However,
the large majority bring a fair
profit.
On Friday evening these gentle
men had approximately $4,000 In
horses that were listed ready to be
taken into the ng and sold. There
was no fancy stock, but the ordinary
run of horses. At this sale it was
demonstrated several times that it
pays to have good stock. Poor,
secondhand" horses brought only
low prices. Good animals sold we'll.
The better class of stock may cost the
farmer trife more to raise, but it
pays him to raise the best. These
sales often allow a good horse to be
sold below its real value, but gen.
orally speaking, the farmer gets
more money, and the dealer gets
more profit in dollars, handling a
good horse than a poor one.
Horsemen know and recognize the
value Of these sales, and people gen.
orally are getting to understand
that there is nothing of the "side
street horse trade" about these
sales, but a straight and square
business.
When the next sale is advertised
visit the sale ring, and if there is
anything there you need, buy it, for
In these sales as in all horse deals
made. the law is adhered to, and
everything is as represented.
