RECIPES FROM COOK BOOK USED
BY GRANDMOTHER.

How seldom one meets the old
fashioned round douEhnut with the
spoonful OF jelly tucked away in its
depths. the whole rolled in powdered
sugar until one marvels as to Just
how it got there. Then the pound
cake, gold cake and marble cake, WIN
their whitesatiny frosting. made in
shallow square pans, are toothsome
datnties that may become obsolete un-
less the young housewives get out
the old cook books to be found in
their respective families.
The following. taken from a grand
mothers cook book, priced beyond All
treasures, may serve to start the card
index drawer for the young house
keeper who has been taught that this
Is the approved system by which to
preserve her recipes. j.
Pound Cake-Three quarters of a
pound of butter and one pound of
powdered sugar mixed together thor
outhly; to this add the beaten yolks
of 10 eggs, and ssift in one pound of

ing Is teaspoons of powdered sugar
and the juice of half a lemon. Beat
the egg until very stiff, then add the
sugar, the lemon juice and then spread
smoothly over the warm cake with
a broad-bladed knife which is dipped
occasionally in cold water. A soft
boiled frosting may be used if it is
better liked.
Sponge Cake-Break one dozen
eggs, without separating, into a large
mixing bowl, add to them two cups of
powdered sugar, set the bowl in a pan
of boiling water and keep near the
| front of the range so that the tenn
perature may be kept at boiling point !;

the range and stir in one cup of sifted
flour and the grated rind and juice of
one lemon; pour in we'll buttered
chimney pan, bake in a medium oven
half IN hour or less, testing with a
broom splint. When done invert the
pan and let cool before removing the
cake. This also may be frosted.
Grandmothers' Crullers-two cups
of sugar, one cup of sweet milk, three
eggs, lump of butter the size of a
walnut, a grating of nutmeg, one
round teaspoonful of cream tartar.

THE VALUE OF

l nave spoke- at length of how to
create and how to cultivate beauty.
Now let me speak little of person
atty.
Beauty should be a guide to person
atty. Charming eyes should call at
tention to the sparkle, the intelligence
that CLOVIS in them. a charming nose
should denote refinement and breed
Ing. A lovely mouth should spell
sweetness. kindness and purity. The
chin should, besides being we'll mould
ed, be signpost of firmness and char
acter. The bearing not only should
be graceful, but should be dignifed
and natural.
All these outward signs are mean
inglesS If we cannot back them up
with real worth. What good is it il
our eyes pretend intelligence and then
cannot supply it? Everything is valu-
able-and all value is relative
Do not try to force your personality.
To illustrate my point, suppose, on
reading this, you should say to your
self: Good. l will have a person
atty" That is not right. Instead,
say. Good. / will discover my own
personality"
Then regard yourself in a mental
mirror. Think of the little things you
do and say, and analyze them. Try
to thing what subconscious motive
was behind these acts. Then, deter
minesas to whether or not theSe mo-
tiyes are worthy or unworthy. Act
accordingly.
A personality is powerful thing.
Once realize a worthy one, and you
have a mighty weapon for your life
battle.
