SWEETS FOR THE AFTERNOON
Some Novelties That Almost Any
Woman Can Make for the De.
light of Guests.

The search for the unusual occupies
the time, or big portion of it, of
many men and women. Men who are
running tiny "fancywork" shops, men
who are managing huge manufacture
ing plants, women who spend most of
their life in the pursuit of society, and
women who spend it managing simply
their own homes, all must seek novel
ties.
Here are some suggestions of un-
usual sweets that may interest the
woman who tries to furnish tempting
yet inexpensive food.
1t is easy enough to buy bit of
FreAch pastry at the confectioner's to
give an unusual air to the afternoon
tea tray-if one is willing to pay the
bill. Here is a cheap dainty that
will vie with those from the best con-
fectioner: Make rich, slightly sweet
ened biscuit dough and form it into
small rounds. In the center of each
place pitted, stewed prune and pull
up the edges to cover the prune en-
tirely. Bake quickly a golden brown
and serve hot
FOR banbury tarts make good pie
crust and roll it thin. Cut it into big
circles, and in each place spoonful
of filling, bring the edges together and
bake brown. Serve either hot or cold.
To make the filling. mix cup of seed
ed raisins, cup of sugar, the juice
and grated rind of lemon and beat
en- egg; cook for few minutes until
the egg thickens and cool before
using.
To make stuffed cookies roll good
sugar-cooky dough thin and cut in
rounds, On half the rounds place a
spoonful of the banbury-tart filling,
put the other rounds over those with
the filling, pinch the edges together
and bake until done
Make gingerbread of the soft va
riety with three-puarters of cup of
orange juice substituted for some of
the other liquid. Bake it in muffin
tins and serve with whipped cream.

cakes will be found most delicate and
may be eaten alone or with any other

MODERN "HUMBLE PIE"
DISH THAT HAS MANY THINGS TO
RECOMMEND IT.
OF Ancient Origin, Il Is Well Worth
Copying by the Housewife Of the
Present Day-Ingredients Gen.
orally on Hand.

Humble pie is still met with in the
rural districts of England, Scotland
and Ireland, 1t is not merely the
proverbial dish which the proud must
sometimes eat. Originally it was a
meat or game pie made for the SER
wants of noblemen and furnished an
appetizing and economical method of
utilizing the less desirable parts of
animals brought in from the chase.
After prolonged and successful
hunt prodigious humble pie was
made sufficient for all the retainers
of the estate. This was eaten in the
great kitchen after the nobleman and
his guests had enjoyed the choicer
portions. The pastry used for this
huge pie was originally made from
the drippings from the roasts of veni.
son or game, which increased the
savory flavor of the finished dish.
The modern humble pie can be
baked in a deep fireproof pudding
dish of size to meet the needs of
the family. Line the dish with plain
crust and place large pieces of raw
potato here and there, so that the
crust shall be weighted down and not
lose it's shape while baking. When
partly cooked remove from the
oven, take out the pieces of raw
potato and fill with a hot mixture of
whatever material is at hand, such as
remnants of cooked veal, beef, liver,
ham or fowl, enriched with bits OF
finely chopped suet, highly seasoned
with onion juice, minced parsley, pep
per and salt, and moistened with
gravy and broth.
Stale bread, cut in dice, cubes of
potato or other cooked vegetable may
be added if the supply of meat is
scant. Smooth the top of the filling
neatly, arrange strips of crust in lat
tice fashion and return to the oven
until the top is well Drowned. This
dish somewhat resembles the econom-
ical shepherds pie, which is topped
with mashed potato instead of crust,
and which does not have anything be-
tween the meat filling and the fire
proof dish.
Either of these dishes makes q
hearty meal if served with gravy or
tomato sauce and affords an economi-
cal and easy method OF utilizing left
overs of meat or vegetables. Where
Irish stew is left from a previous
meal this will be found a good filling
for humble pie.

AnpeI Cake.

Whites of six eggs, one-half tea
spoonful of cream tartar, one-fourth
teaspoonful soda, one and one-fourth
cupfuls granulated sugar, one cupful
-four, pinch of salt, three-fourths tea.
spoonful of almond extract. Sift the
-four four times. Add salt to eggs and
beat, then add cream tartar and soda
and continue beating until stiff and
Try, then add sugar gradually and
continue beating. Add fiavoring and
lastly fold in the -four lightly, but
thoroughly. Bake forty-five minutes
in moderate oven in an unbuttered
angel cake tin.

Enr Hot Eiscnit

Any hostess who prides herself on
her delicious biscuit should not fail
to keep them tasty by having them
covered during the meal, so that they
will retain the heat. An attractive
cover can be made of white linen hav-
ing square center and four pointed
ends. On one of the pointed pieces
two biscuit might be embroidered.
To make the design more realistic
you can tint the biscuits brown and
then outline the edges of them. Or,
in place of using the design, en-
broider the words Hot Biscuit" on
the linen. Have such a cover ready
for the next plate of hot biscuit you
serve to your friends and enjoy the
praise you will receive for your
needlework and your culinary ability.

Rule for Bakino a Cake.

Divide the time into four parts. Dur.
ing the first part the cake should rise
and not color at all. In the second it
should continue to rise and begin
family to color. In the third it should
become evenly tinted a very light
brown. In the fourth period the heat
may be slightly diminished, if neces-
sary, and the cake will shrink" very
little from the sides of the pan. A
covered pan is useful in some ovens.
Do not move the cake during the sec
ond and third quarters. Let it cool
while hanging in the inverted pan.

Corn Custard.

Score the kernels in dozen ears of
green corn. scrape out the pulp and
add 20 the beaten yolks of four eggs,
teaspoonful of salt and saltspoon-
ful Of pepper. Add one pint of milk
and mix, then stir in carefully the
stifi'y.baten whites of four eggs; pour
into buttered pudding dish and bake
slowly until firm.

Satisfactory SprinkIjno.

Here is method for sprinkling
clothes which will be found very sat
isfactory. This saves lot of trouble
and prevents the hands from getting
chapped in cold weather. Take an
ordinary cork and cut small fiuting
in it lengthwise. Fill glass bottle
with water and put the cork in it..
When the bottle is shaken the fiuted
cork acts as spray, sprinkling the
water evenly over the clothes.

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

II you want to keep your hair In
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much better
than soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing. as this can't
possibly iniure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t In. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich. creamy lather. and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle OF dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and II leaves IL
fine and silky. bright. fiuffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil

cheap. and a few ounces is enough
