QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


"Please tell me about charlotte fill,
ings and how to mold them so they will
be firm"
Reply.-A whipped cream mixture
is called charlotte and it is named in
honor of Russian princess who turned
her attention to dainty edibles. Present
day bakers add gelatine to the whipped
cream and this gives it solidity without
altering the taste of the cream.
You may use any sort of mold, though
block tin ones oval in shape are sold
Especially for this dainty. Line the
mold with oiled paper and then place
strips of sponge cake or of lady fingers
around it. Or bake sponge cake and
remove the center and fill the cavity
with the charlotte. Such shell should
be about an inch thick.
Buy package of any frst-class gela-
tine and follow the directions on the
carton for mixing the whipped cream
and other ingredients for the filing.
Some gelatines require hot and Others
cold water for dissolving.

wolf killed is asked, though more may
be given if the donor is so inclined.
The money will be deposited with the

those who present wolf scalps as evil

Currency in China has had all sorts
of surprises for the layman. but the
present situation is simply extraor-
binary. There is now found to be an
actual plethora of dollars and small
coins. and since last August the Chi
nese have been melting them and con
yerting them into sycee. The reason
why dollars are being melted IS that
