Then the ingredients were blended in the magic order and beaten for stated length of time by the clock The whole was placed in q square iron pan and when baked was about three inches in thickness. ' She sometimes, and occasionally with bitter almond. For serving the cake was always broken, never cut. As an especial treat the sponge cake mixture was baked in q large sheet, while warm, spread thickly with jelly and dexter ously rolled, making the well known jelly rolls Nowadays the busy house. keeper must make every minute cunt and a recipe that takes little times and never fails" is trea sured.
 The following recipe may be won derfully varied, as shown by the fol- lowing directions

Last week was busy week for cer- tain folks here in Peaceful Valley. First came washing and ironing, next was canning peaches. and by Thurs day night my maid Keturie said she was glad the week was pretty nearly over.
 Well! Friday morning she was on time and ready for an extra duty, so I said:
 Now, Keturie. I'm afraid those grapes are going to spoil if we don't attend to them today
 I saw she didn't really want to do them, and pretty soon she told me she was going 70 a dance that night with Pete Loison and she was afraid, she couldn't get the stain off.
 Look here Keturie,'' I said "yOu told me you would come down here and help me every day this week if I let you go to the park last Saturday. Now you let that talk end and get busy with those grapes.
 Keturie went after the grapes and when she came back l saw she'd been crying; but 1 didn't pay any attention to her, and after we had dinner she seemed on the outward appearance as if she was perfectly willing to please me, but I thought I got a glimpse of revenge when she thought I wasn't looking.
 "Keturie, that looks as if it was about done!"
 "Ye-es, ma-am!' says she, with her face so I couldn't see her eyes. I knew by the way she spoke they were about brimming Cher eyes. I mean).
 She took up the juice and let it drain, and instead of squeezing it thoroughly she was going to let it go.
 No shirkinG. Keturie.''
 Moo, ma-am!'
 And she didn't shirk She was fairly pounding the cloth in pieces, and her hands were a sight to behold!
 After the juice was bottled she turn ed like a young tigress.
 q told you I wanted to go to the dance tonight! Do you think Pm go- ing with hands looking like these? Thatll never come off till it wears off and 'twon't wear off by night. and I'll
