yelyet Sponge Cake

Il know of no reason why a man
shouldn't contribute to your department,
especially If he can prove of any assist
ance to another in supplying the recipe
desired. Cooking is to me a trade, but
more than that it also represents a high
art, and nothing affords more pleasure
than seeing the various dishes one pre-
pares appreciated. A correspondent sign
ing herself Marie NJ, Detroit Mich,
makes a request for velvet sponge cake.
This rs mine, proportions, of course, be-
ing lessened according to the size wanted:
velvet Sponge Cake-Four cups of SUI
gar, four teaspoonfuls baking powder,
four cups of -four. one and one-half cups
of hot water, eight eggs, two lemons.
grated rind, and juice of one only. Di-
rections: Cream the sugar and the yolks
.of the eggs together. Sift the flour and
baking powder together, add to the yolks
and sugar Then thin with hot water,
stirring well all the time to prevent lump
ing Batter must be smooth. Beat the
whites of the eggs stiff and fold into the
mixture. Add the fiavoring.
This is sufficient for two moderate sized
cakes, and while the mixture may seem
a little thin to some / believe that YOU
will find 1t all right. I butter the pans
and bake in a moderately hot oven, and
find it advisable to cover the cake with
paper for about half an hour. From
tbree-quarters of an hour to an hour Is
required for baking and make the usual
test before removing. l.. e. j =
NThere are 30 capital reasons why man
who knows how to cook or for that mat
ter who knows anything that would con-
tribute to the value of our department
should let us have the benefit of that
knowledge. When man bends his
thoughts and energies to the worthy trade
of cookery he is a better artist in the
culinary line than 80 women out CT AZ
hundred ever get to be. Perhaps be-
cause he takes it up as a lifelong profess
sion and carries into the practice busi-

~ MYRTLE MILES

Hermann Bahr's views of woman sui
frage will be needed as perhaps would
the opinions Of few Germans, for his posi-
ton in the German literary world Is emil
nent It is. indeed. somewhat analogous
to that of George Bernard Shaw in eng
land. and what he writes Germany reads.
He recently published an article on wom-
an suffrage in which he discusses the io-
lure and the aspirations of woman, the
altitude of men toward woman's enfran-
chisements and many other interesting
phrases of the movement which is attract
ing such widespread interest at the mo-
mont He writes;
at has been said that every human be-
ing is a thought of God, and that God Is
1ot in the habit of thinking the same
thought twice. This sounds the keynote
of cur cvilization-respect for the rights
OF the individual. And woman desires no
more than this TO occupy her proper place
in our civilization. She, too, will as
sert her personality. She, too, will fesu-
late her life according TO the inner law
OF her being, in order more truly 10 eN-
press the divine thought she represents.
And when she shall have won this right
for herself then, and then only, will it
be made manifest what qualities really are
'womanly.'"
He asks:
"will women ever have the vote? 1t
entirely depends how strong their sense OF
injustice is. They will never be enfran-
chised so long as they do not find it in
tolerable to obey the laws in the making
OF which they have had no part But, in
any country, the moment this does strike
the women as intolerable, and intolerable
10 such an extent as to render continued
obedience to man made laws impossible,
then and then only, will they immediate
ly be enfranchsed The women ques-
tion can never be decided by reasoning,
hut only by the degree of passion and
force evoked in women by their griev-
ances."
Herr Bahr states emphaticaly that a
worse enemy than the open anti-suffragist
is the man who contents himself with
merely sympathizng with the movement,
for, he says. chose who give their word
of support and nothing else to any cause
are always its worst foes"

Acting in front of the camera for NOV
ing picture shows isn't quite so soft a
job as people not in the know are apt
to imagine.
Grave risks have to be taken and more
or less serious accidents are common
Sometimes they result fatally.
The other day, for example, a man
named Bitter descended in parachute
from the Column of Victory, in Berlin,
with view of being einematographed as
he was falling. but something went wrong
with the apparatus and the parachutisi
was dashed to his death.
Similarly picture player named Dunno
was killed on a railroad while acting a
part.
The unfortunate man was only supposed
to be run over by an approaching train. it
being the intention to substitute "dum-
