cool oven for the meringue to delicately brown
and serve cold, accompanied by cream
To prepare whipped cream for shortcake,
the housewife must remember that double or
very thick cream should always be used for
this purpose and it should be thoroughly
chilled before you oegin TO whip it.
pint of cream almost doubles in bulk
when properly whipped, so that large deep
bowl should be used for the purpose. Begin
by beating slowly. either with a cream whip
or an ordinary egg beater and increase the
swiftness of the strokes as the cream begins
to thicken. 1t must not, however, be beaten
too long or vigorously, or the housewife may
find that she has pat Of sweet butter on her
hands instead of tempting bowl of whipped
cream.
few drops of vanilla extract may be added
for favoring and if the quantity of cream on
hand seems small, it can be extended by the
stiffly whipped white of an egg folded in just
before serving.

charlotte russo, with the strawberries added
as an afterthought. 1t consists of layers OF
delicate sponge cake with layers of whipped
cream and fruit. First make the sponge cake,
remembering that as the cream and berries
are so rich in themselves, rather plain sponge
is generally preferred for that purpose. The
following is an excellent formula:
Beat the yoks of five eggs until light-col-
ored and thick; then beat in gradually one
cup of sugar; add the grated rind Of one
lemon, two tablespoons of lemon juice, one cup
of -four and fold in the stiffly whipped whites
of the five eggs. Pour into layer cake pans
and bake in moderate oven.
AS soon as the layers have cooled, spread
with sweetened whipped cream to the depth
of half an inch and cover each layer with
large, ripe berries. If the cream is generous
ly sweetened, no extra sugar will be needed on
the fruit.
Still another variety of shortcake is made
from any good plain cake or cup cake batter
which is baked in layers similar TO the preced-
ing recipe. The filling is composed of berries
and powdered sugar and the top layer covered

CTRAWBERRY shortcake is such deli
cious dessert that now, when the berries
~ are getting bigger and better each day,
some suggestions for making the different
varieties may be helpful to the housekeeper
who wants to serve this timehonored dish at
its best.
The evolution Of the shortcake has brought
into existence very different dish from the
simple biscuit crust with its layers Of luscious
crimson fruit-a much inferior dish, according
to those who remember the real thing. The
genuine shortcake of olden times is seldom
seen to-day. 1t was made perhaps in the best
way by the famous old coored cooks of the
South, whose very name is becoming tradi-
ton.
Thrifty New England housewives could sell
dom find "heart" to use sufficient butter-the
sweetest, best butter or the larder-with that
liberal hand that the rich tender shortcake
really demands; although it is true that they
made buttermilk cake of delightful memory.
For a genuine Southern shortcake, take
three cups Of -four, half teaspoon Of salt

And everywhere there Were flowers and great
masses of laurel in huge cream colored bowls
The walls Of the dining room were panelled
in dark oak, and the furniture was of the ia
cobean period, heavy and deliberately carved,
with the seats of the chairs upholstered in
damask. 1t seemed to me an almost hopeless
task to get this room into its summer toys, but
Letitia accomplished it without turning a hair.
She covered the paneled walls with striped
glazed chntz cream and pale yellow. We did
have hunt before we found the right thing,
but when it was finally on the wall we felt
fully repaid for all our trouble 1t couldn't
be nailed to the panelling, so Letitia had it
tackled on light wooden strips, which were
fastened at the top and bottom Of the wall.
The joining of the breadths Of the material
were covered by narrow white gimp.
The dining room windows were treated like
those in the drawing room, and, of course the
carpet was the same. The heavy carved chairs
were a problem, but, as usual, Letitia was
equal to the occasion.
SIMPLIFYING ELABORATE CHAIRS
She had board fitted across the top Of the
chair making a perfectly straight line, and a
slip cover of the mauve taifeta was fitted
tightly over the whole, back and seat, and fin
ished with a narrow, straight valance around
the seat, edged with piping Of green.
The dining table had cover of the mauve
tafeta, edged with narrow green cord and
with a big green tassel at each corner and
similar cover was thrown over the sideboard

The heavy silver plate and candlesticks were
put away, and Venetian glass was used in
their stead There was a large dish of Vene-
tan glass in the centre of the dining table
filled with glass fruits, oranges and lemons ana
a big cluster Of purple grapes.
A BEDROOM LIKE A FLOWER
The walls of the bedrooms were panelled and
tinted in cream or oyster white, so the task OF
doing over these rooms was greatly simplifed.
Mrs. Monty's own room had cream-coored
walls and cream-colored painted furniture.
Here we used for curtains and bedspreads and
slip covers plain cream taffeta, edged with
three narrow folds of pale mauYe turquoise
blue and yellow.
We carpeted the floor with the same mauve
carpet that we used in the drawing room. The
window draperies had valance laid in tiny
box pleats and finished with the three folds
Of mauve turquoise and yellow, and close to
the window were sash curtains of fine white
point desprit.
The guest room had oyster white walls and
Colonial furniture, and even Letitia agreed
that nothing seemed 50 appropriate for this as
a glazed chintz. SO we used green and white
stripe which was most satisfactory.
There was a straight valance edged with
green gimp around the top of the four-posted
bed, bedspread and slip covers and straight
hangings at the windows with stiff box
valance. The floor was covered with green
and white rag carpet.
On the day of Mrs. Monty's return Letitia

There was no room in this apartment to
store away the heavy velvet hangngs, so Le-
titia conceived the brilliant idea Of inclosing
them in bags of the striped green and white
linen, and defy any one who was not in the
secret to detect it.
CURTAINS THAT ARE REALLY BAGS
am sure that neither David nor his friends
will suspect that the straight, striped curtains
which hang at his windows and doors are
really huge bags in which the winter dra-
peries hang stepped in camphor. The bags
we're made with a wide French heading at the
top and sewn on the regular curtain rings.
They were, of course, sewn across the top, so
there was no danger of dust collecting on the
velvet inside
The davenport, which in the winter stood in
front of the fireplace, was moved to corner
of the room, where it would get cross draft
from two windows. 1t was covered with the
plain green sateen, piped with the striped linen
and piled with pillows some in the plain sateen
and others of the striped material. A green
and white Palatine rug covered the floor to
within a foot of the Dashboard.
There were white window boxes filled with
plants. The lamps and candlesticks were
green, with touches of white in the turnings
and with plain parchment shades.
And there were tables everywhere. Letitia
saw to that, and she had glass tops put on
those which might be injured by the wet glasses
and lighted cigarettes. Within easy reach of
every chair and beside the sofa stood table

piled:

the next morning, "and
I have decided that sa-
teen is the only thing for
the feet Of David and
his friends. Plain sa-
teen-plain green sa-
teen, a soft, lightish
green"
So green sateen it was.
Mrs. Lower Stratum had
had the good taste to
cover the walls Of her
entire apartment with a
plain putty-colored pa
per, and this made a very
good background for the
summer furnishings.
We began vita the
drawing room-I should
say Giving room," for
we are no longer in
Park Avenue. We are
on an uptown side
street, just off Riverside
Drive.
We had slip covers
made after the pattern
of Mrs. Montgomery
Sackett's, fitting the fur
niture like a glove and
snapped together with
snap-hcoks, and we piped
them with a striped
green and white linen.

ordered pecks Of flowers, white and purple
lacs and hyacinths and narcssus and branches
of shiny laurel, until the whole house seemed
a-blOom.
We conducted our client from room to room
with fear and trembling, for we did want our
first job to be great success. When we had
finished our tour of inspection Letitia meekly
asked for the verdict
Mrs Monty's answer was as the balm Of
Gilead to our souls:
Cool and charming and extremely smart"
said She
And then we turned our attention to the
needs of the other lady from "loway' (albelt

The walls Of the draw
ing room were panelled
and painted in cream
white, so they were quite
all right for our purpose.

them of every picture,
leaving only two mirrors
in simple gilt frames.
