|NSURING GOOD CRUST
CERTAIN RULES MUST BE Oh.
SERVED IN PIE MAKING.
No Reason In the World Why Delicious
Form Of Dessert Should Ever
Have Been Said to Be
Indiaestibie.

Somewhere along in the late eighties
Or early nineties loud voice was
heard denouncing the great American
| pie Pie-making and pie-eating were
among the chief industries of our fore
parents, and the announcement was
| made that here was to be found the
| reason for the various assortment or
human ills from which they suffered.
rhey did not know they were pie
poisoned. They ate the crisp-crusted:
| fruit-filled dainties and enjoyed them;
| they went on their needless ways ig-
| aorant OF the crimes they were COM
hitting, but according to biblical
prophecy their sins were being visited
upon their descendants and we were
enduring the curse Of weakened diges-
tons because of those pie-ous ances-
tors.
And so the fear of pies was born in
US, and 1t Is a heroic hostess who will
serve pie as the dessert Of dinner
party. If we calmly analyze a pie,
though 1t does not seem so deadly
hing: little -four, fat, water or milk,
and fruit usually, and II these ingredt
snts are skillfully combined, we are
willing to take oath as to the whole
someness Of the result
Here are some simple rules which
will insure a good crust, and IL We
follow them In making our pies we
may be able to restore the pie to its
old popularity.
The general formula for crust is one
and one-half cupfuls of -four, one-haf
cupful OF fat, one and one-half tea
spoonfuls of salt. liquid to moisten.
This will make one two-crust pie or
two one-crust pies. The ingredients
must be kept cold. Since the only
leavening agent in the crusts Is air,
and cold air expands on heating. 1t Is
reasonable to suppose that the colder
| the air the greater the expansion and
| the fiakier the crusts. Do not handle
the crusts any more than absolutely
necessary. Cut the crust little larg,
er than the tin to allow for shrinking
in baking, and be sure to leave no air
bubbles between the paste and the
tin.
| Pastry and modified -four give the
best results. and in the case of these
less fat is needed. The best crusts
are made with one part of lard to four
parts Of pastry -four. When butter is
used two tablespoonfuls more fat to
the cupful of -four should be added
Butter in a crust gives 1t the best fla
vor, according to some, but lard gives
the tiakier crust and good flavor.
More liquid Is needed with bread
-four than with pastry -four. The larg
or the amount of water the less fat Ia
needed. A very good way to keep the
undercrust crisp is to spread egg
white over 1t and sprinkle with corn
starch.

Three hours later he entered the
elevator and was astounded to see
Brousett operating it. For moment
he thought it was ghost, but Brou-
sett assured him that everything was
all right.

Leap-Yesr Advice.

Here is the sage counsel which Miss
Lucille Pugh, feminist. suffragist and
lawyer-and also quite pretty--is
quoted as offering to all bachelor girls,
absolutely without fee, for their leap
year guidance, says the New York
Evening Sun.
Propose to the man of your choice,
but look up his rating first"
Short and to the point. By the re-
course to Bradstreet's it is argued that
women may avoid unhappiness fire.
quently resulting from penniless mar
riages. Good!-as far as it goes. But
what eminent counselor of the other
sex will not stand forth to aid his
trembling brethren? Such a one
might we'll advise:
Accept the woman who proposes
to you if you like her. but first look
up her rating in the domestic arts"
One prerequisite is as fair as the
other. For the woman: Do not mar
ry for money, but love where money
is; for the man: Do not marry to
provide yourself with a cook, but
while marrying you might as well
marry someone who can make out of
the place you live in a home. Some
thing more than a liberal income is
required to produce comfortable cir.
cumstances" for two.
