The score card helps to empha-
size the essential points of excel
lence and is now generally adopted
by all fair associations:

| 10, texture of crumb 20, lightness
20, moisture 10, general appearance
10--10O.
For the best results use good in
gradients, fresh eggs, good butter,
fine granulated sugar, good baking
powder and pastry flour. Bread
flour may be used, but Oil account
of the greater amount of gluten 1t
contains, the texture of the cake
will not be so delicate. If you have
to use bread -four take one-eighth
less per cup than directed by the
receipt.
Solidity 25, color 25. flaw
or 20, sugar content 25, method Of
sealing 5--l00.

ing texture %. color uniformity ana
evenncss of mixture 10, style (refer-
ring to package), 800.
In the needlework exhibit the
same rules apply as in the cooking
and canning. Simplicity, harmoni-
Gus color schemes and artistic eff
fects are the things for which to
aim. Often beautiful needlework
loses a prize because of ugly color
combinations though the workman
ship and execution are perfect. Do
not select gaudy colors or compli-
Gated designs Use good taste and
judgment in selecting designs for
needlework.
