confectioner.
Small fancy tins come for the baking OF
little cakes, but it is very difficult for
any one inexperienced in their use to
grease them properly, with the result that
the batter sticks and the shape is marred;
moreover, cake baked in such small guam
tity burns quickly.
The beginner will have better success
if she bakes the batter in several layers
in regular sized cake tins or in a square
dripping pan or two and then cuts the
layers into the desired shapes. To be
sure. there is apparent waste in this meth
cd. but the results are much more satis-
factory, and the addition Of candied fruits
and whipped cream to the odds and ends
of cake gives delicious dessert.
When the layers come from the oven
take them from the pans and allow them
to become cool. Then, with fancy cut
ters, one shaped like a heart, one seal
loped. one diamond shaped and others
circular and oblong in outline. cut the
cake layers in pieces.
The following recipe for cake batter can
be used with good results in little
cakes: Cream half cupful or butter
with cupful of sugar. Add the yolks
of two eggs and beat. Gradually add
half a cupful of milk and cupful and
three-quarters of flour. sifted with two
level teaspoonfuls Of baking powder.
Lastly add the beaten whites OF the eggs.
When the batter is mixed divide 1t into
four parts. To one part add chopped
nut meats, to another a dash each OF
cinnamon. grated nutmeg and allspice. to
another orange extract and haif tea
spoonful of grated orange rind and to
the fourth part half a teaspoonful OF
vanilla.
When the cakessare baked and cut and
cool frost them Prepare stin icing
of the whites of raw eggs beaten stiff and
confectioners' sugar. Beat the icing until
it IS creamy and smooth. Flavor it with
little vanilla and frost the nut cakes
and the spice cakes. In the center OF
each nut cake place nut meat or a
candied cherry Place small strips OF
citron on the spice cakes, in designs. II
desired. To some of the white frosting
add a beaten egg yolk and drop or two
OF orange extract. with a little more
sugar, and with this frost the orange
cakes. A little candied orange peel can
be used to decorate these cakes. Melt
grated chocolate with confectioners
| sugar. beat 1t carefully into the remain
ing white frosting and ice the plain
cakes.

Making Rooms Attractive

delft blue paper, with an invisible satin
stripe, and the ceiling with cream moire
paper. Have white swiss curtains at the
window. with a pale blue border inside the
hens. The border may be of dyed lace
or an applique of blue flowers cut from
shade of tan. There are SO many con-
veniences for use i'm small room that
it is possible to live in one and still
have space.
One woman has converted ballroom
into the daintiest of tiny libraries. On
one side is set of shelves for books.
The walls are covered with blue damask
of very delicate shade. The ceiling is
blue, with a conventional pattern of
white trailing vines dropping gracefully
down TO half length. The rug Is delft
blue. and the room contains one chair
upholstered in delft blue brocade. A
small mahogany table holds a telephone
and a blue and brass writing OUTFIT. A
small lamp hangs from the center of the
ceiling, and 1t has a blue and rose glass
shade with crystal pendants. When light
ed it throws a beautiful glow over the
little reading room.
The old-fashioned parlor mantel is a
perplexing problem to women who would
like to beautify that portion of the room.
AS drapery is no longer used, the best
plan is to scrape the woodwork and paint
the mantel White woodwork is pretty
in an old-fashioned parlor. This calls for
two coats of white enamel. Cherry var
nish is nice for painting mantel of
rather coarse finish. A neat picture, a
fancy bowl or small piece of statuary
may be used as decoration. The fireplace
is the next problem. If not fitted with a
steel or board front. it should be. If
covered at ALL. there should be a silk cur
tain, gathered at the top and bottom. The
ugliness of a mantel may be partially
concealed by large fern on a stand, and
one at each side in a jardiniere.
In many bedrooms the space once oc-
cupied by unsightly mantels has been
used for pretty clothes presses. Have a
covering falling from the wooden mantel
to the floor. Another method which will
convert an old wooden mantel and a
rusty fireplace into a thing Of beauty is
to place wide board on top of the man
tel, making a shelf. Close the fireplace
cover with wall paper or other material
hang a pretty curtain around the mante
and decorate the shelf with small pieces
of pottery. Place before the curtain jar
dinieres of ferns and foliage plants.

town part of the city which is devoted ex-
clusively to the sale Of this popular form

vHE transparent bodice has set
the new note in lingerie. From
the waist up everything in un-
u derwear must be of the sheer
est quality and daintiest design,
for with morning, afternoon and evening
frocks lingerie is no longer only a neces-
sary body covering taken for granted; it
is a. partly visible foundation for the lace,
batiste, embroidery. chiffon and tulle
which are worn over it.
The new chemises are one of the results
of the transparent character of the bodice.
In the days when bodices were boned
and lined and then covered with folds
of cloth and velvet and silk substantial
shoulder straps were the rule. When the
evening gown was so cut that the Shoul-
ders were barred it's wearer cheerfully
tucked offending shoulder straps into the
corset and no one but herself was the
wiser Today the shoulder straps of the
old knitted undervest would show through
any evening gown and would suggest
themselves under most day bodices with
glaring persistence Hence the new
chemise.
Instead of tucking down the shoulder
straps, the woman of fashion has dis
carded the knitted vest altogether and in
it's place wears short, scant French
chemse. Some of these are made of fine
muslin edged with embroidery and lace.
with straps of lace over the shoulders;
others have the slight fullness adjusted
by means of tucks and are banded about
the armhole and neck with applied hens
of colored muslin in pink. lavender or
blue. which, seen dimly through the
bodice, suggests a color scheme.
The heart-shaped chemse. which is cut
to a deep v in front and is lace and rib
bon trimmed. with narrow ribbon straps
over the shoulders, Is another new form
of the chemise. Others are made of the
finest silk for evening wear and are held
over the shoulders with bands of folded
chiffon in flesh color, which are practi
cally invisible
The manufacturers of knitted under
wear recognizing the objection women
make to the old style of undervest, have
made them of knitted fabric Of almost
gossamer texture, held over the arms
with narrow bands of ribbon and lace, or
with soft silk ribbon alone.
The transparent character of the bodice
and the slight support given by the corset
above the waist account for the popularity
of the brassiere corset cover. 1t. like
the chemise. is frequently made without
armholes and is held over the shoulders
Evening star., 1913-02-23

A short lingerie petticoat, scant and
sheer, sometimes called d modesty petit
coat, is often worn with a brassiere;
sometimes it is fastened TO the brassiere
corset cover in combination style. A lit

made of all-over cluny lace. slightly boned

cared for. They can be kept white with
soap and water. They are easy to move
about and the water jug and basin are
easy TO lift Some have stationary tanks
at the back. with a faucet to regulate
the flow of water into the basin. Others
have a covered ever or Tipped bucket TO
hold the water A stand should be
chosen which has a rubber stopper in the
bottom of the basin and hole through
which the waste water runs to pail on
the shelf below.
The bedroom washstand of whatever
stvle should be furnished with liberal
supply of hand towels-the small guest
towels are suitable-a couple of bath
towels bath mat. untouched soap and
face cloths. a chintZ-covered screen in
front of such a stand and bound square
of linoleum under 1T add to ones con-
venience Hot water should be left in
the ever just before the guest goes to
his room at night, and should be put in
another ever or bucket outside the door
when he Is called in the morning. The
guest should also be asked at what time
he cares for his tub bath so that the one
bathroom may be free for his use at that
time.
In many country houses man guests are
often put to much trouble about such nee
essary attributes to their toilet as shay
ing water and shoe backing. 1t is i'm
Sossible for them to get shaved or
..shined' outside the house. for there are
no barber shops conveniently located in
the apple orchard or bootblacks hidden
behind the hedge; and man guests do not
like to cause the hostess trouble by men
t.oning their wants. So the careful
housewife should see to it that shaving
water of the desired temperature is pro-
vided when it is wanted. and it there is
no servant in the house to blacken boots,
the guestroom is provided with brushes
and shoe polish in the combination box
sold by the shops.
Every guestroom should have lamp
placed at the head of the bed. A new
magazine. book or two. a covered jar of
crackers or biscuit. and perhaps fruit and
a bottle of water. are all additions to the
bedside table which make for comfort
when wakefulness at night is to be en-
dured Paper. pencils. ink and blotters
should be on a desk or table.
A guest should be told the breakfast
hour and asked at what time he wishes
to be called, and then, unless he be a
very unappreciative guest indeed. the
host and hostess may retire satisfied that
he will be comfortable until morning.

Getting Rid of Household Pests.
4 y d-fashioned housekeeper. vi

An old-fashioned housekeeper, who
~ can tell a great many valuable
things about house cleaning, says
the time TO kill insects is in March. Tur-
pentine is excellent to destroy most pests.

sects If used in closets TO Kill moths,
pour a quantity into saucer and close
the door. allowing the odor TO penetrate
all creyices for twenty-four hours.
The odor of cedar is as much protec-
,ion against moths as is that of HI
smelling camphor balls and is far more
agreeable. If YOU have no cedar chest.
strIp off young twigs and prickles of
cedar. nut them into cheese cloth bags,
and Law the bags among your clothing

To drive away red and black ants. place
sprigs of parsley wherever you notice the
ants. and they will disappear like magic.
Renew the parsley twice week. Gum
camphor is also effective in driving them
away. Another good way to get rid of
ants is to hunt them with something
they like TO eat. and when you have a
lot captured drop the whole thing into the
fire.
To drive away mosquitoes. take a piece
of gum camphor about one-third the size

The suestroom bed should be left un-
made between Visits-that is to say. fresh
sheets should be put on the bed the day
the guest arrives. Between guests the
blankets and comforters can he folded
away on some dry shelf and the bed
spread can be put over the mattress and
its cover without sheets. The pillows, of
course. should always be covered with
pillowcases. but these should be fresh
ened the day of a guests arrival.
When the room is in preparation for
guest windows should be opened: in cool
weather the heat should be turned on
fun and the bed pulled to pieces. The
mattresses should be turned. fresh: dry
sheets got out and the whole bed put to-
gether again. Plenty of warm covering
should be provided in winter, and even in
summer q thin blanket should be near at
hand.
Second in Importance to the comfortable
bed comes the guestroom washstand. If
there is a bathroom at the guests dis
posal. fresh hand towels. a cake of fresh
soap. a bath towel. face cloth and bath
mat should be provided. and the room
should of course. be spotless. If there is
no bathroom for the guests exclusive use,
