prize, goes without saying. for through
her talk yesterday she impressed her
hearers with its benefits. One point was
brought out which might be Of interest
to cooks in that the cabinet style of
range Is better than those which have
the ovens lower for one reason-that ~
convenience, to keep from leaning over
SO much. She said that the modern gas
range will do perfect baking when prop
erly regulated. One of the pupils asked.
How would you manage a coal stoveT'
to which she replied.
II wouldn't manage one at all. I'd
have gas range or wouldn't cook.
Three Periods i'm Baking.
Mrs. Ruggles explained that there are
three periods in the baking of a. cake.
First, when the cake merely rises; sec
ond, when the oven-burner (only half
force) is lighted again, when the cake
finishes rising and begins to color; and,
third. when the cake finishes baking:
separates slightly from the sides of the
pan and settles evenly over the top.
These different baking degrees may be
observed by every housewife, Mrs. Rug
giles stated.
Cakes fall, Mrs. Ruggles explained, be-
cause too much shortening Is used in
ture is too soft in consistency. or be-
cause the cakes have not been sufficiently
baked. Cakes should not be handled for
decoration until they have thoroughly
cooled.
Then the trim maid passed the deco
rated cake about In the audience. coated
in mocha icing made by a cold process
and stucccoed with crushed Drowned al
monds and bits OF crsytalized fruits. ad
miring comments followed its progress
around the large room. The cut cake
was also displayed to show the fine, even
delicate texture of the cake. and the
cake was served to those who could get
a taste of il.
The cake was a beautoful success in
every way.
The fritters which Mrs Ruggles made
suggested some new uses for the de-
servedly popular deviled meats which
are so convenient in emergencies and
serve so many purposes. Her talk on
English scones was a delightful revela-
ton.

Mrs. Helen Armstrong Ruggles, the

a delightful tensity Of interest yesterday
afternoon when she unfolded the mys-
teries Of cake baking and showed that
the task which has appalled, so many
Ihousekeepers and cooks is an easy one
when science in methods and modern
inventions in equipment are called into
service.
The halls in which the cooking lessons

Flour Differences.

Southern winter wheat, hard flour Is
ground from the Northern spring wheat
Mrs. Ruggles explained, In testing

tice the color OF the -four, the soft flour
being whittier in tone and the hard flour
being creamy. and pass the -four between
the fingers to notice the difference in
textures. Soft flour will be smooth and
without grain, like cornstarch, while the
hard flour Is gritty and sandy to the
touch.
Coarse, sticky sugar will make q

The lecturer gave other useful infor-
nation about cake materials.
THE delicate grain Of a cake depends
more on the mixing than on anything
else" said Mrs. Ruggles. as she put
the cake together. "A close. fine tex

she reminded her listeners. There is a

the results are SO remarkable. Gradu-
