out to you that it's shape not only
eases your wrist and protects your
hat, but also brings the whole OF the
sunshade into view in way which
makes it worth your while to indulge
in dainty details of this kind.
And while the hats have thus
changed the shape OF many of the
sunshades the fabric fashions in
dresses have had just as potent and
decorative an influence on others,
and so it Is that for specially smart
functions and frocks there are sun
shades made In cloth of silver and
gold with boldly and beautifully bro
caded designs in shimmering satin.

HeLpful Hints on ,Bakine

For mixing pastry for Short Cake and
Apple Dumplings, mix very lightly, only
enough to mix the moisture with the dry
-four, using knife or fork for mixing,
never spoon, for spoon packs and
mashes the batter. Pastries should be
loose and flaky and to insure this, keep
the batter loose in mixing; it should have
a rough appearance before baking.
For baking short cake pastry have q
moderate oven to start, giving the pastry
time to loosen and rise before baking.
Always spread with butter as soon as
taken from the oven.
Never put fruit on pastry until ready
to serve to avoid soaking with fruit juices.
In all baking be assured of success every
time by carefully measuring each in
gredient. No guess cook ever succeeds
every time. It requires q certain amount
Of every article named in q recipe, and
an over or under measure is sure to make
o failure of the recipe.
X G Baking Powder is wonderful aid
to successful baking. It always uniform
in strength and action, giving uniformly
perfect results. Use X G Baking Powder
according to directions-never more than
the recipe directs. X C will keep per-
fectly for years, the last spoonful being
as strong as the first. l have used X G
Baking Powder for years under all cir
cumstances in both high and low attitudes.
In high attitudes there is greater trouble
with cakes falling, but where double
raise baking powder. such as X G is used
there is absolutely no danger Of food falling.
