cloth up close to the dough, making
a cloth partition between each loaf.
Let the dough rise, and when ready
to bake place the griddle in a warm
oven and then lift dough carefully
from the cloth and lay on the table
and cash slightly with sharp knife.
Wash with an egg and water, wash
and place on the griddIe and bake
forty-fve minutes in a hot oven,
adding a small saucepan of boiling
water to provide steam to keep the
loaf moist while baking.
To Make the Famous French Bread
Pare and cut in slices two medium
sized potatoes. Cook until very soft
in five cups of water. When cooked
rub through a sieve and cool. There
must be one quart of this mixture.
When the mixture is about 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit, pour in the mix
ing bowl and add:
One-hdlf ounce of shortening.
One ounce of sugar.
Three-fourths ounce of salt.
Stir to thoroughly dissolve and
then add four quarts of -four. Work
to a dough and then proceed as in
the straight dough method. When
the dough is ready for the pans mold
into loaves, three inches thick and
twelve inches long, and set to rise
like the vienna bread, then bake,
using the same method.
To make good bread it is neces-
sary to have the liquid about 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit; to have the -four
not less than IS degrees nor more
than rs degrees Fahrenheit; to use
good active yeast; to keep the dough
in place between 80 and 50 degrees
Fahrenheit, free from drafts; to al
low sufficient time for fermentation
and to bake bread thoroughly.
Bread forms about 40 per cent of
our daily food. So let it be of the
very best, keeping in mind the fact
that nothing equals good, palatable,
homemade bread. For small fami-
lies the above recipes may be cut
in half. Use only level measure
ments.
Two tablespoonful of fat or sugar
weigh one ounce. One tablespoonful
of salt weighs one ounce.

2. Delicious hard candies for the Santa
8. Little enamcied-torped bottles for the
bureau?
"A common and welcome gift. The one
I saw might be one for which you, ana
maybe your sister and brother, might
want to put together to give to mother.
She's probably always wanted one. This
is of mahogany, has two drawers. with
little mahogany knobs, and deep side
pockets, which will hold a pile of sewing
stockings that she is waiting for an
opportunity to darn, a waist that needs a
patch--maybe some sewing for YOU. The
convenient feature is that the top of
the table has a little handle, and the
table itself is so light that It can be
picked up and carried from the sewing
room to the bedroom, or wherever it Is
warmer and lighter. The price of the
table is SIS.
Soft melting chocolates are much to
be desired, luscious, delicious marsh
mallows are tempting. but some of us
there are who love best to crunch hard
candies Of lime, mint or teaberry. When
we play cards at home, my father must
have hard candy, and you would smile
to see my sire with the stern look his
black trimmed half specs impart, flxedly
scrutinizing his cards and munching a
succulent morsel of hard candy. But,
anyhow, what l really started to say
was that hard candies are one of the
luxuries that haven't scared away out
Of the reach of the slender purse. Mix
tures-your favorite klnds-may be had
for forty-rine cents a pound. They're
especially nice. too, for the Christmas
stocking.
Fixings for the bureau always make
welcome gifts, particularly the dainty
extras that one probably would feel that
one could not purchase ones self. Little
bottles come slightly larger than the
small round pill bottles filled with deli
cately colored sachet powders. And the
enamel tops match in color the powder.
These bottles cost but twenty-five cents
A pair for but fifty cents would make
an unusual gift.
