CAKE AT ITS BEST
MIXTURE OF INGREDIENTS AN
IMPORTANT MATTER.
Measuring Cup Should Always Be
Used, Unless One Is Especially
GifteG-Other Things 1t 10
Well to Remember.

The measuring cup is the first aid to
the amateur cake baker. Nowadays
most professional cooks weigh and
measure with great care. To be sure
there are still old southern mammies
and gifted New England housewives
who can put cake together without
the help of any measuring apparatus
save a scoop and their own good eye.
glass measuring cup-better than
tin one because it is easier to get
exact fractions of a cup in one that
is transparent-better also because ii
Is easier to keep it thoroughly clean
and dry--a teaspoon, n tablespoon
not soup spoon nor a dessert spoon
nor one of those huge metal spoons
used for mixing batters and basting
meats-should be part of the equip
ment of every cake baker. A pair of
scales is also useful If they are re-
liable. 1t is difficult, however. in some
places to buy good scales. Although
Hour varies in weight and quality il
is usually safe to allow four even
cCpfuls of sifted flour to the pound.
Two cupfuls Of granulated sugar
weigh a pound. Butter has the same
weight, so that two ounces measure
quarter Of a cupful.
With these equations it is easy to
translate weights into measures.
Never grease cake pans with but
ter, as this has very low burning
temperature. Lard has a higher burn
ing temperature, and hence cake in
iarded pan does not burn on the bot
tom 50 easily as cake ia buttered
pan.
Keep small painful of water In
the oven in which cake is baked. The
steam thus generated keeps the tenn
perature o. the oven even and helps
to make the baking slow and even.
Don't stand the pan of water direct
ly under the cake, as this sometimes
causes part of the underside of the
cake to be less baked than the rest.
Place a wire rack in the oven under
the cake pans, and be sure to keep the
oven cool enough at the top 10 prevent
burning These precautions are espe-
cially necess ary in a gas oven, which
is usually hot.

it?"
"Oh, OF course I willr' he assured
her And immediately thought came
into Charlie Browns head that made
him start. "And by the way" he said,
while l think of it, l want to warn
you about that chap l met at tea at
your place. Streetman, he called him

To hide her confusion Ethel rose and
moved a few steps away from the
table.
Yes, I remember him very we'll"
she answered.
Il happened that night to get some
dope on him." Charlie went on, in en-
tire innocence of the effect his words
had upon her. He's what you might
call a professional spy-working for
the German secret service now. That's
why he stuck up for them that after
noon; but really he's a Russian"
"A Russian Ethel exclaimed. star

out of Russia ten years ago for some

thought perhaps as you're in the ad-

pump you about some of the navy's

"Oh-thank you for telling me" she
exclaimed gratefully. And, somehow,
she felt the least bit guilty that she
could not be frank with him. And
one thing more" she added, as he
seemed about to leave her, you won't
speak of meeting me here? 3.
You'll promise, won't you, even though
l can't explain?
"My dear girl" he protested, "T've
been on so many stories, I've inter
viewed so many people, I've seen SO
much of human nature, that l know
pretty well when to print a story and
when to kill it--and I'll go through for
you any way you want me to-"
Ethel turned to him impulsively,
gratefully
''Thank you-you're a dearw she

And at that moment the French spy

And paying scant heed, apparently,
to Ethel and her companion, he sat
down at a table. lighted another ciga-

once more.

Madame de Lorde remarked carelessly,
as if their converse ton bore only upon
trivial matters.
That's so. And If we're going to

Mr.. Brown said, glancing down at the
wreck of his once immaculate new
English suit. ooh, almost forgot my
