MAKE ECLAIR SHELLS
NO PARTICULAR MYSTERY ABOUT
POPULAR DELIcAcY.
Mixture Of Ingredients and the Cook
Inn of the Batter Before Baking Are
Matters That Must Be Care
fully Attended To.

| Now that eclair shells are used In
SO many different ways housewives
are gradually learning that this new
| form of pastry can be made at home
instead of always depending upon
professional cake maker. The recipe
must be followed exactly If good re-
suits are to be expected, for 1t is the
mixing of ingredients and the cooking
of the batter previous to baking that
produces the shell that is now being
used as the receptacle for ice creams.
cold pudding and fruit mixtures, as
well as for salad and cheese combina-
tions.
Any reliable cook book will give
correct recipe for chou paste, which
is the culinary name for the special
batter used for cellars and cream
puffs. Proper proportions are equal
| quantities of -four and boiling water
with half the quantity of butter. NO
sugar is used, as the filling, If sweet
is sufficient If the shells are to pc
filled with a salad or cheese mixture,
little salt and paprika should be
added to the flour. They can be filed
and served either hot or cold.
A recipe which will make IS small
shells calls for one-half cupful or but
ter, one cupful each of flour and boil
ing water and four eggs. Put the wa
ter and butter in a saucepan and as
soon as the boiling point is reached
add the flour all at once and stir Wig
orously. When the smooth paste
leaves the sides Of the pan, which IS
noticeable stage in the process, re-
move the saucepan at once. Let the
mixture stand for few minutes and
then add the unbeaten eggs, one at
time, beating the mixture thoroughly
after the addition of each egg. Drop
by spoonfuls on buttered shallow tin,
shaping the batter in small rounds or
in small finger-shaped portions, hav-
ing the batter slightly higher in the
center. Bake about half hour, reduc-
ing the heat after the first ten min
utes. If removed from the oven be-
fore they are thoroughly baked the
puffs will collapse. A safe rule is to
take one out and If 1t does not fall in
three or four minutes it is proof that
the others are cooked.

NO MORE MARRIAGE RISKS
Reformers Of Today Certainly Are
Throwing All Kinds of Safeguards
Around the Ceremony.

Under the microscope of modern
criticism marriage seems to be honey
combed with false ideas and tyrannous
customs. So wrong Is 1t that we all
most doubt IL any of our grandparents
could have been happy, and we sigh
with relief when we consider that at
last modern intellect Is about to de-
molish the old-fashioned methods and
build in their place scheme of COM
nonsense marriage in which no sor-
row and regret can cloud the domestic
hearth.
What primitive, careless thing
marriage has been hitherto Just be-
cause man and woman have been
attracted to one another they have
rushed blindly into lifelong partner
ship without any careful forethought
or inquiry.
But we see the end Of all that non
sense Already the new marriage
the careful, well-considered mating
has arrived. The first medically ex-
amined wedding has been celebrated
In this country. Surely this will give
lead to the world.
