with my best wishes for her success: Into a generous pound of flour chop three quarters of a pound of cold but ter. When it is like a coarse powder moisten with iced water until you have mixture that can be worked into dough. Use a silver or wooden spoon and do not touch with the hands. Turn out upon floured board and roll into thick sheet; fold this up and roll out again; then fold up and roll oue again. Fold or lay on plate or tiu right on the ice for several hoGrs-a day or two would not harm it. Turn upon floured board, roll quickly into a sheet of the desired thickness, make into pies or tarts and bake in a steady oven to golden brown.

By MYRTLE MILES

This and tomorrow evenings at Cable hall the Pelham chapter, U. D. C. will present three artists in concert They are Wilmot Goodwin. baritone Maur- ice Warner. yiolinist, and Lee Cron- jean, pianist. All three have come ed that the two concerts will be great " enjoyed. Recently Musical America, commenting upon programme in which MT. Warner had appeared, stated that he not only proved his worth as a brilliant executant by his breadth and finish of style. but also by his artistic outlook and his intelligent way of expressing his ideals. His technic and tone are perfect, and the good impression he created at his recital here a few months ago was deepened by his excellent performance on this occasion.
 Mir Goodwin is said to be, through physique and training, an ideal bari tone. He confesses that for the first years of his life music was secondary 10 sport, but physical exercises ere ated the stamina which sustained him in years of arduous musical studies and now, as a young singer, he pos sesses a power and force very un- usual. Lee Cronican has also received much praise among discriminating mu- sic critics.

Dutch Apple Sauce Cake

You have called several times for egg less desserts. Housewives should not need to be reminded just now that every egg increases the cost of cake or pud- ding alarmingly, when four or six must go into it. This with eggs at o cents dozen Is enough to ban sweets from many home. My boys never suspect the absence of eggs from the dutch apple sauce cake made by this rule: One cur and a half of unsweetened apple sauce, one cup and half of sugar. one cup and a half of raisins, one cup and half of lard, one teaspoon of salt, two cups and a half of flour half teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and baking soda, dissolved in a little hot water If more fruits are added. more spices may be added. if liked. This makes fruit cake that men like. MRS. E. P. l..
 l could wish you had told us how to put the ingredients together. I take it that it depends upon the action of the soda upon the acid apple sauce to raise the cake. Hence the soda should go in last. and all be well and quickly beaten be- fore 1t goes into the oven In short, while alkali and acid are in full effer- vesence
