she should.

The skirts Of her gowns never
have stringy look because they

Timely Hints for the Housewife

Little things many cooks would
like to know are told by Marion Har-
ris Neil in the Ladies Home Journ
al, including the following:
Why do my cakes form thick
crusts and have cracks in them
There are two kinds OF thick crusts
which some cakes have The frs,
ing overbaked in a very hot oven.
When this is SO, the cake, if a very
rich one, has a huge crack in the
top caused by the heat Of the oven
forming crust before the inside
has finished aerating; then. as tn,
interior air or gas expands. it cracks
the crust to escape. This crack
spoils the appearance of the cake.
and when cut the cake will generally
be found to be close and heavy in
texture. To guard against this Il
is necessary to bake at suitable
temperature, noting that the richer
the cake the longer the fruit takes
to bake. The second kind of crust
referred to may be caused by an
excess of fat and sugar being mixed
together. or otherwise insufficient
flour
Why do my scrambled eggs curdle?
Eggs curdle when they are cooked
too fast and too long, Stir the eggs
continuously over a slow fire until
they are soft. creamy mass. just
thick enough not to flow off the
crisp, hot buttered toast on which
they are served
Why do my cream gelatin pud
dings fail? One of three reasons
may account for the failure. The
cream may be overbeaten; the dis
solved gelatine may be too hot when
it is strained into the cream, thereby
making it thin: Or the dissolved
gelatin may be too cold when strain
ed into the cream, thus causing II
to set and become rough and knotty
before it is thoroughly mixed in and
poured into wet mold.
Why do my sponge cakes rise
around the sides and fall in the
center? Is the heat Of the oven
at fault A very light cake pu,
~ ic hot rtc
rapidly around the sides, but leaves
hollow in the middle. An excess
of sugar may also cause this. but
there are other causes, If cake
is made too light with eggs or bak-
ing powder ard an insufficient guam.
tity of flour is added it will drop in
the center Another frequent cause
is the moving of cakes while in tho
oven before the mixture has prop
erly set. The same defect is pro
duced if the cakes are moved from
the oven before being baked suffi-
GENTLY. II the oven door is slam
med carelessly the shock may make
the cake fall. and quantity of cold
air will be shut in which will check
the baking.
Why does glaze sometimes refuse
to adhere to chickens or meat? The
glaze slips off the meat because it
was made too hot. or it may be that
it is too thin, Or sometimes if the
chicken or joint is particularly greasy
the glaze will not stick: in that
case wipe very thoroughly with
cloth or piece OF white paper first.
Remember the joint should be cold
before it is brushed over with the
glaze.
Why do cracks sometimes appear
on the surface Of meringue shells"
The meringue shells crack because
the oven is too hot On no account
must the oven BE- too warm: il it Is
