Does he fall for It?
Sometimes, and again There was
the case Of William Q. Johnson!
or course you may argue that his
case was exceptional In that william
was none other than the son Of Bill

Melbourne-an interesting man and IA

But William had never been permit

TIERS activities. And, as for ships and
things, his sainted mother had brought
him up to shun them as evil inventions
On the evening of his adventure
Johnson came home from the Office. as
usual, at $50, dutifully kissed his wife
and washed himself hurriedly in prep
aration for the waiting soup. He was
visibly preoccupied
Presently his wife said to him:
"You look worried, dearie. Isn't your
work all rightf"
"Everything's o. K.," he responded,
but he relapsed into silence.
She didn't question him further. He
had these silent spells.
Sometimes 1t was dispute with his

alertness Of the way she had looked at

uneasiness and regret. He tried over

COOKING TERMS MADE PLAIN
Even Experienced Housewife May
Find Some Explanations Here Of
Value to Her.

Different terms are properly used
Tor different methods Of combining in
gradients In cooking, as any one who
has handled a cook book very much
must know. But everyone who has
tried to cook does not know just what
these various terms signify. Stirring
ls one thing, beating Is another, fold
Ing and cutting are yet others-that,
We all know. But what are they?
Stirring is effected with circular
motion, widening from the center.
That is the technical description.
Beating is the operation which In
This can be done In any way that sep
arates the particles of the Ingredients
one from another and so lets in the
air
Folding is the term applied to the
motion which prevents the air already
tnclosed from escaping and at the
same time mixes the ingredients con-
cerned. 1t is this motion which must
be used when whipped cream, beaten
egg whites and other light and beaten
ingredients are mixed together or with
more solid masses.
Cutting is the lightest sort of mix
Ing-hardly mixing at all. Shortening
Is sometimes cut into flour with a
knife. But the shortening and flour
cannot be mixed completely by cut
ting.
Keep the meaning of these terms in
mind when you cook according to a
recipe. Remember that an ordinary
cake you stir and beat. An omelet
you beat and fold, and you do the
same thing to sponge cake.
