MADE SWEET PUDDING
But to Be Perfect Il Must Be Pre-
pared Twenty-Four Hours Before
1t 10 Served.

Only the foresighted housekeepel
need choose this pudding, because il
must be prepared ,twenty-four hours
before it is. to be served. 1t is, how
ever, SO very simple and has so high
food value that it amply rewards
the cook for the care needed in its
preparation. One dozen lady fingers
two cakes Of German sweet chocolate
two tablespoonfuls sugar, two and one
half tablespoonfuls water, four eggs
vanilla to taste.
Into a spring form carefully lined
with wax paper put layer Of lady
fingers. Melt the chocolate and sugar
in tha water over a moderate fire
When it is thoroughly dissolved take
from the fire and cool. Then add the
yolks Of the eggs, one at time, and
keep beating. Next put in the vanilla
and last the stiffy beaten whites ol
eggs. Pour half Of the mixture ovel
the lady fingers IN the mold and ther
spread another layer Of lady fingers
upon which the remaining custard il
poured. A layer of lady fingers comes
last, busted over with finely chopped
almonds and powdered sugar. Set In
the icebox twenty-four hours and serve
with whipped cream. 4,se-..

GOOD TOAST REQUIRES CARE
Bone Principles to Be Observed n
One Would Have the Dainty
at lts Best.

The principle that upderlies toast.
making is threefold:
1. Heat evaporates moisture through.
out the slice of bread.
3. Intense heat changes the con.
tents Of the starch granules on the
surface of the bread to dextrin.
8. Intense heat, long continued. will
change first the surface starch and
then all to carbon (charcoal.)
A good cook will secure the first
two, and avoid scorching the bread.
Successful toast making depends up.
on these points:
The selection of bread already par.
TALLY dry.
The cutting of bread into slices of
uniform thickness.
Regulating the source of heat.
Placing the slices firmly in a toast.
or or on fork or evenly on a rack
when toasting by gas.
Keeping the toast at a distance from
the source of heat that insures steady
but not too rapid change.
Turning the slices, or the toaster,
to cook each surface in turn and thus
make the process slower.
Stopping the process before the
carbon is formed and the toast
burned.

The Modern Church.

A professional whistler and NOV.
ing g-picture show are the latest devices
employed by a church in Seattle to
lure sinners to repentance and point
the way to salvation. While the whis.
tier is somewhat of an innovation, the
moving-picture idea has been used for
some time in at least one church in
this state. Evidently the churches
have been forced to the conclusion
that the average sinner insists ON be.
ing entertained while he is being
saved.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Nutritious Luncheon.

Days at home when pressed for
time, it is difficult to find something
quick and easy for luncheon all too
often. Cheese preparations are fine
for such occasions and are satisfying.
Stale bread, butteresl little and then
covered with grated cheese and baked
makes an appetizing dish. The cheese.
covered bread should be piled up in
layers in a baking pan and milk
enough to m0isten the bread poured
into the pan, then the mixture should
be placed in a moderate oven to bake.
A plain lettuce salad with a French
dressing is a pleasant addition, or q
sliced tomato, green peppers or onions
may be made into salad and eaten
with the baked dish. Freshly pre-.
pared tea and good bread and butter
is all else required.

WORTH KEEPING IN MIND.
Some "Don'ts" for the Considers
Of Those Who Are Planning >.
Building ef House.

II you are planning to build house,
whether it be for your own occupancy
or for rental or sale, remember there
are many things which should be omit.
ted in the planning Some of these
are enumerated In the following
don'ts:"
Don't, in the plumbing of the bath
room closet, permit the use of other
than gas-proof metal to metal. con.
nections with the soil pipe.
Don't, in planning your home
grounds, forget that there is one
form only of imitation that is safe
the imitation of nature.
Don't, If you are building in the
country, think that you cannot have
an electric equipment. Private electric
light and power plants are quite with.
in reach of even the. moderate-sized
purse, and furnish abundant light and
current for the modern household ap.
pliances.
Don't forget that wall board is .
very good substitute for lath and plas-
ter, and that fractures which often oc-
cur in walls of plaster are not possi.
BILE where this material is used.
Don't forget that you can make tho
back entrance to the new house quite
as attractive as the front entrance.
Don't, when planning the fireplace
fail to remember that good taste 10
expressed in q simple mantel de-
signed according to the architecture
of the house.
Don't forget that mirrors, in addi-
tion to fulfilling their utilitarian pur-
poses of rejecting objects, help archi.
lecture. r. ...
Don't fail to allow for plenty Of
windows in the kitchen. This makes
:or cheer as well as for ventilation.
Don't. waste space inside the ward.
:obe closets; utilize every inch. Poles
'or hangers may b's placed very high
;or one-piece frocks, lower ones for
coats and skirts, and underneath these
lrawers or shelves to take care Of the
ooots, slippers and hats.
Don't, in planning for the, windows
N the sleeping room, ignore the
possibilities of q easement window
placed very high above the head Of
The bed.
This solves quite satisfactorily the
problem of an additional window. and
n appearance is most pleasing.
Don't plan fot single doors between
he living rooms and the hall. Wide
openings give an air of spaciousness
md hospitable effect not possible to
obtain with q single door.
Don't forget that beamed ceiling
,ot only looks more durable than .
ceiling Of plaster. but that it is so.
The more exposed timbers there are
n the interior the longer will be the
life of the house. Plaster retards the
action of the air upon wood, and this
causes decay.
