OUR AMERICAN PIE.

In the face of a decided change in
our dietary habits and of decided ef-
fort of French pastries to supplant
them. plain, old-fashioned. substantial
American pie still holds a strong place
in the affections of many of U.S.
Pie need not be indigestible, if it is
The crust should be reasonably short
and baked thoroughly, so that there is
no suggestion of SoggineSS. And the
hiling should be wholesome. OF course,
even when made in the most careful
and approved manner, pie Is not pre-
dessert. 1t is hardly food to be given
to children. But it is not impossible
Of digestion and it is delicious.
Ihere are. of course, many different
ways of making pie crust and probably
each has its good points. Choose one
that calls for little handling of the
crust. Use pastry flour If it is called
for. or other good -four with tea
spoonful of baking powder for about a
quart of flour. Use very cold water,
ly. Cut the shortening into the flour
with silver knife and fork or two
knives. Some good cooks use the tips
of the fingers. But as the crust in the
making must be kept cold to be crisp
and as the fingers are almost sure to
become warm. the fork and knives are,
perhaps, best
Use shortening and flour in the pro-
portions Of about three-quarters of a
cupful of flour. About half a cupful
OF cold water will be needed for this
amount.
Here is a recipe for d-fashioned
cocoanut custard pie: Beat three eggs
with half a cup OF sugar until thick
and creamy. Add two cups of rich milk
and cup of fresh grated cocoanut
