Bran Mu6ns and Sponge Cakc.

' The Helping Hand has been the soupce of much profit and comfort to me; long may it prosper and draw the house keepers together Now I wish to add mite. Some time ago recipe for bran mullins was requested On account of family afhictions I have been unable to send the recipe before. but here 1t is now:
 Bran Mufins--One cup of wheat bran, one cup of graham flour. or of white flour. if you prefer tho latter, one-third teaspoon of salt, one heaping tablespoon ofsugar. two teaspoons of baking powder one egg, one cup of milk, one tablespoon of butter or olive oil. Bake in muffin tins or patty pans.
 Easy and sure sponge cake-Beat three eggs for five minutes, put in one and one-half cups of sugar and beat three minutes, add one cup of flour and beat ono minute. then half . cup of cold water and beat one nninne, one-half cup a-sors flour and beat one minute. then sift two teaspoons of baking powder into half cup of flour and stir 1t in lightly. Spfin- ke little sugar over the top and bake carefully. This recipe never fails me and any one can have success by following it carefully and observing all rules.

 Next. the question of the suprer. &p not desire to make this heavier care than 1t is already. Put aside the uues- ton or the comparative whoiesorHeness of hot and cold food, although for my own part I feel that cold supper Is about as heavy burden as one can foist upon the gastric powers. But even were this not the case, is the work of supplying savory, warm meal at night so much greater than that of arranging a chilled repast7
 What do you serve for the ordinary Sunday night supper? Cold meat, cold bread, salad. 8 sweet. and. usually. hope, hot drink of some sort. Is it so much trouble to have something which can be popped into the oven, or which may take care of itself in the steamer at the back of the stove or over 8 low flame? The chahng dish is supposed to find it's principal post of usefulness on the Sun day night supper table. Is it any more ex- ertion to cook eggs or oysters, or any other light article, in this or on the fire than 1t Is to compound O. salad dressing.

 As I have said, would :lfke.the opinion of readers on this. have been a guest in a number of homes where the family prepared tho Sunday night supper, and I have keen recoliections of many de- lightful Meals have eaten in these cir cumstancee. Mushrooms have been cooked in the chafng dish and toast for them made in the kitchen by one of the guests; hot coffee or chocolate has been brewed. Welsh rabbit has been an item at various feasts. Scotch woodcock and other delectable dainties have been on the bill of fare, and can honestly state that g. plain beefsteals would have been less trouble to make ready than any one of them.
 When I say this 1t is not only of the cooking I think. but of the dishes used in the process-dishes which must be washed afterwards-of the numberless errands back and forth to the pantry to get the different articles needed for the simple cold supper" to which some housekeepers refer with apparent pride when giving an account of how they manage their Sunday meals.
 Weigh and measure the amount of work demanded by the heavy midday din- ner and the cold supper as you have them now, and by the simpler compromise have suggested, taking into account the pans and pots and the dishes to be cleansed after ooth meals. and see how the two methods compare. The comparison be- tween the state of health produced by the one practice and the other carries, to my mind, even greater weight than the question of more or less labor. Let me hear from readers what they think about it.

on Sunday and a cold supper rendered things easier for the maid. When ! had caught my breath made a replark to that effect.
 |" Indeed, by the time I've cooked things on Saturday and put them away In one set of dishes and taken them out on sun day and put them in another. and made salad, and set the cheese out and the crackers and the salad. and all the little dabs of things we have for supper Sun day night, have more work than if stick piece of meat into the oven and cook it and 8 couple of vegetables and be done with it!'
 That aspect of the matter had never occurred to me before. and I received it with joy. Since then we lunch in the middle of the day on Sunday, as we do on other days, and dine late. When the servant goes out manage things 80 that 1t is easy to do the work. and have never found any trouble in adjusting matters so as not to make increased labor.
 I do not lose sight of tne fact that in many homes there is either one maid kept

hearty dinner every evening will feel de- frauded if you don't give him heavy joint on Sunday as well? Try it and see.
 But count on the cold meat for Mon- day." some one else demurs. Then have your roast on Saturday night instead. That will make a little break between the two appearances of the dish, and you will find the meat will keep as well as if it were cooked on Sunday noon.
 It makes so much more trouble" Is further protest. Does it? Stop and think a moment I recollect in this connection a remark made by a servant had some years ago, when we still held to the con- ventional custom of eating our hearty dinner in the middle of the day and serv- ing a cold supper in the evening on Sum- day.

 gasped with astonshment. Always had held the theory that early dinner

It may be broiled chicken or chicken pie, or steak and mush- rooms, or English chops. or other savory preparation. Sometimes 1t Is scaHoped, or fried, CT stewed, or creamed oysters. Cocoa, tea, or chocolate goes with the meal.
 Then at supper time the chahng dish is called into service to prepare a warm savory; there is dish of rolls or mullins or buns which are either made fresh or heated up; the dessert is simple but pleas ing; the drink is coffee. tea or cocoa. Tho household comes to the meal with un- jaded and hearty appetites and there Is none of the gorging, at any repast of the day which spells strain on the stomach and an after judgment in the way of in- digestion on Monday.
 I would like to know how this plan ap- peals to the majority of the women who read this page. Certain of their objec- tons can anticipate.

the first answer. My husband has al- ways been used to a hearty dinner on Sun day, and he wouldn't approve if made a. change. Then. too, we dine late every other day in the week. and 1t is nica to have the children eat one regular big meal with their father on Sunday. They always expect something particularly good then"
 But there can be something particularly good--to take the last reason first. Good ness and heaviness are not always synon- ymous, and you can use your ingenuity in devising attractive and delicious dishes which will give as much qualification to the palate as the stereotyped roast and vegetables. A fried chicken is as good as roast of beef to the childish palate or to the fathers taste, either-and for dessert he may have the pie he craves as part of the Sunday dinner. or the ice cream, which to many people Is the star of the Sabbath feast.
 Meeting this objection may also an- swer the first. Do you really think the man of the house who has his late and
