of liquid in summer, and three
fourths of an ounce in winter will
give the best results to the home
baker.
Sponge Method
Generally speaking, the sponge
method produces a lighter and
whittier loaf than the bread made
by the straight dough method. Bread
made by the straight dough method
has the advantage over bread made
by the sponge method in flavor, tex
ture and keeping qualities. The
proper consistency of the dough by
Il r,onge method is produced by
using
One quart Of aUnter or half Water
and half milk, 80 degrees Fahren-
heit.
Ta0o and one-half pounds of -four.
One ounce OF sugar.
Dissolve the sugar and yeast in
the water and add the flour. Beat
to thoroughly blend and then set
aside to raise for three hours, then
add
One ounce Of salt.
One-hdlf ounce of shortening.
One and one-huF quarts of -four.
Work to a smooth dough, elast.. :.
This takes usually about ten minutes,
after the -four is worked into the
dough. Place in creased bowl and
then turn over the dough, to coat
with shortening. This prevents a
crust from forming on the dough.
Set aside to raise for two hours and
then pull the sides down to the
center of the dough and punch down.
Turn the dough over and let raise
Tor ore and one-quarser hours.
Baking the Bread
Now turn on a molding board and
cut into five parts or loaves. Allow
about nineteen ounces to each loaf.
Take the dough up between the
hands and work into a round ball.
Place on the molding board and
cover for ten minutes. Now, with
the palm Of the hand flatten out
the dough and then fold way over,
pounding we'll with the hand. Now
take the dough between the hands
and stretch out, knocking it against
the molding board. Fold in the ends
and shape into loaves. Place in
well-greased pans and brush the top
of each loaf with shortening. Cover
and let raise for 45 minutes. Bake
in hot oven for as minutes and
brush with shortening when remov-
ing from the oven. Let cool and
| then the bread is really to use.

CHAPTER XIV

WHERE was he? She hadn't heard
w him get up, therefore she must have
slept after a fashion. What a wonder
full day 1t was, clear and full Of the
promise of winter with that sharp tang
In the air that Is so unmistakable in
late November, and she had walked up
almost happy. resolved to make up for
last night. only now there was an omi-
nous cloud over the clearness of the day,
a tightening of her heart, a hardening
Of her entire self.
She slipped out of bed and into her
negligee then she went over to the win
dow and peered out. Just as she reached
It she saw Scott and 10 Whitehead ap-
pear on the road strolling slowly Neither
wore hat, and Scotts dark hair was
ruffied. He was laughing at something
tho girl had said.
A fury of anger possessed Ruth. 1t
| frightened her with its intensity and she
shook all over. Instantly suspicious, she
believed anything. Had Scott arranged
this meeting last night? Certainly 1t was
possible
AS n matter Of fact, Scott had done
nothing of the kind. His night had been
restless and he had walked early. The
beauty of the day had instantly appealed
| to him and he had dressed and gone
out into the sunshine. His meeting with
10 Whitehead had been by the merest
| accident, but, OF course. 1t did look
strangely coincidental.
Ruth fought a terrible fight with her
self as she stood there, clnging desper-
ately to the frail lace curtain. She
swayed on her feet and felt that she
would fall unless she held on to some-
thing. Finally she struggled over to
the bed and sank down upon it and
tried to plan what she would do. It
was then that Ruth had her first glimpse
of real wisdom. 1t almost seemed as
though she had received help from some
unknown source. for after her first fury
of anger and suspicion had somewhat
subsided she began to think logically.
She was actually surprised at herself
for doing this, but it helped her to take
her mind off herself.
Her problem was how to treat Scott
when she met him. II she kept UP the
enmity Of last night, where would It get
her? 1t was impossible to bully Scott
into anything. She knew that. Well,
then, what ought she to do? Slowly 1t
came to her. Life was not altogether
what one wanted 1t to be. She had one
idea for 1t and Scott had another, that
much was clear. Well. then. 1t all re-
solved itself into one thing. iither she
must be willing to do things with Scott
herself, or she must not object or feel
sighted IL he substituted some one else
after she had refused him. OF course,
some wives would think 1t their priv
ilege to object and she might really feel
that it was hers, but what good would
it do her? 1t would certainly hurt her
relations with Scott and she never
wanted him to do anything for her
through a sense of duty. although any

A BIT Of jewslry always makes =
n welcome Christmas gift. So often
a friend has wanted for a long time
barpin to wear with her best blouse or
silk dress, but has felt that its purchase
would be an extravagance. Personally,
I am strongly In favor Of giving as
Christmas presents odds and ends which
are perhaps considered luxuries. and
which one has always wanted, but never
purchased because they were not actual
necessities. Which brings me to the
sterling silver barpin. which Is not n
necessity. but a most irresistible luxury.
1t measures probably an inch and a
half in length. First come two bright
green square-set stones. then comes n
sparkling well-cut brilliant. Next Is a
pair of the emerald squares, another
brilliant and then two more of the
green stones. 1t Is a pin that will appeal
| to the fastidious woman and its price
| Is $1.75.
Any one, who reads my Adventures
knows that I am fond of touch of black
on almost any blouse or dress. To me
| one touch of black makes the whole
dress chic And I do think that the
most effective use OF 1t Is in the form
of a narrow black moire ribbon chain.
But one cannot of course wear piece
of ribbon hung around ones neck. The
| ribbon needs a locket. a silver vanity
glass containing a moth or bright colored
| butterfly Well one Of the shops is show
ing these charms trimmed in gold or sill
ver-fnish and containing neither moth
nor butterfly. They are waiting to
hold two photographs back to back. Ex-
cellent ornaments these. for ribbon
of black, and TIE price Is but 81.
OF course, one can always at the last
minute rush In town and buy the rest
of ones Christmas gifts. But what
indiscriminate purchasing! Buy now
and choose wisely. For instance, fol
your sister or best friend, you will wan

Near the noon hour on Friday
Nov. 1st, the sanity soul Of Mrs.
]. H. Morgan was called from its
habitation Of earthly affection
unto the better world.
Hers had been a life Of beauty
and Christian purity from child
hood, and she disseminated her
goodness where ever she moved
among her associates.
Mrs. Morgan united with the
Methodist Church in early girl
hood and to that Church she
proved faithful unto death, al
though she lived beyond any
denominational creed or doctrine
and sought to make Christian
life a universal privilege, and
Christian cooperation a God
given faculty.
For several years this good
woman had fought i'll health, but
always her fight was valiant for
her spirit was strong and her
soul sure. Even her loved ones
marvelled at her radiant disposi-
ton in the midst of severe pain
and could scarcely interpret her
bravery save in terms of the
higher life.
An innate congenial spirit and
its cultivation by practice won
for Mrs. Morgan numerous
friends wherever she went: She
spared no pains in giving un-
stintingly, her best, to her COM
| panions and as q deserved recon-
pense, their loyalty to her was
never wanting.
A distinct community loss is
felt in the decease Of this upright
woman, and those Of her in
timates and acquaintance re-
gret keenly the loss inflicted up.
