REASON THE DOUGH SOURS
Uncieanllness In tho Making or the
Utensils is One Of Prln-
cIpaI Causes.

There are two reasons why bread
sours. One Ia because the process OF
making or the utensils have been un'
clean, or else the dough has been al
lowed to stand too long before being
made into loaves. If milk is used 1t
should be scalded and allowed to cool.
Raw milk should not be used In
breadmaking. .------a-
Supposing 1t Is inconvenient to mold
the loaves just at the time 1t is be-
lieved the dough is ready, 1t Is good
plan to knead 1t In the pan again for
a few minutes.
This prevents souring, and the
dough, IL only lightly kneaded, will
soon rise again. 1t should then be
put into the baking pans as quickly
as possible.

WITH OR WITHOUT COLLAR, WITH
SQUARE OR V-SHAPED NECK. WITH LONG
OR SHORT SLEEVES.
Russian blouses are exceedingly fash
onable this spring and they are always
pretty Here is very attractive model
| that is very simple and easy to make.
The big collar is a pretty feature but, If
/ the square neck finished with bands is
preferred it can be used with equal
propriety. The sleeves can be cut of at
the elbows if that length is preferred. No
better model for the spring street suit could
be found and there are many materials
that can be used for the making. Blue
serge with trimming of black satin would
make a very useful suit; tan whipcord
with brown trimming would be smart and
spring-lille; and there are many attractive
novelty materials shown that would be
excellent for just this model. Ratine,
either in wool or cotton, would make an
attractive gown of this kind, too. For
the later season, linen, pongee and ma
terials of similar weight can be used with
perfect success.
For the medium size, the blouse will
require 45s yards of material II or 312
Yards 90 or "A inches wide, with $8 yard
17- inches wide for the collar or 81 yard AZ
| inches for the bands shown in the back
view.
The pattern of the blouse 1866 is cut in
sizes from "a to 40 inches bust measure.

fancy for dull effects In materials, for

hgly lovely limitations Of this lace

as Lille Langtry in 'His Neigh

The advance in price is creating
quite a lot Of agitation, many per-

well satisfied with the business he
