When You Frost a Cake.

At least when short sugar rations
meant that we had to take our cakes
unfrosted we were spared the trouble
of frosting them; and there were not
few amateur cooks who were rather
relieved because of this. Frosting, or
icing, cake well is not the easiest
thlng in the world-nor vet is it by
any means the hardest. If you have
trouble with having the frosting run
over the cake don't feel that this is
necessarily because the frosting is
too thin. If you brush the cake over
with cornstarch-just enough to dust
lt-you will find that the frosting
Will not run in that way.
VI course, the scientific way to make
bolied frosting is to have a sugar
thermometer and boil the sugar and
water until it reaches PIG degrees
here is way that is almost as salts
factory: Boil one and one-half cups
OF sugar and one-half cup of water
together until the thread is about
three inches long. If shorter the
frosting will not become firm, says
the cook who advocates this method.
If longer it will be grainy. Pour the
slrup slowly on the whites of two
eggs that have been beaten very
stiff, beating all the time. Beat with
the egg beater as long as you can
and finish with spoon after the mix
ture has become too stiff for the
beater. 1t may take ten or fifteen
minutes. In very warm weather place

If you happen not to have an egg
on hand with which to make the
frosting. what then? Try this. 1t is
very good eggless frosting. Soften a
teaspoon of gelatine in two table
spoons of cold water ,and then pour
over it three tablespoons of boiling
hot water to dissolve it. If it is not
dissolved heat until it is smooth.
Now add one cup of powdered sugar
and beat until it is light and white A
few drops of lemon juice expedite
this. Some persons prefer this to an
egg frosting even when they are
available.
Perhaps this is the easiest of all
frostings: Beat the white of an egg
stiff. adding about two tablespoons OF
very cold water, into which you have
put a pinch of salt and a pinch of
cream tartar. This will not make
the eggs any the less stiT. Have'ready
some of the finest sort of confection-
ers sugar and be sure that it is
smooth and free from Jumps. Now
add the sugar until the frosting is of
the desired consistency. Egg frosting
can be made without the cream tar
tar. and water. but you will need two
egg whites to make the same amount.
The cream tartar makes the froSting
smooth and makes the egg and water
blend nicely.

Guests of Thomson Center.

Convalescent sailors and marines

gown is of biscuit colored satin. and
the slim skirt has the drapery ar
ranged so that it stands out widely
from the knees, covers the hips with
fullness, and is pulled up through the
brown ribbon girdle and then cut off.
1t stands in fan-shaped flares above
the girdle, over that very part of the
anatomy which women for decades
have tried to keep fiat. Not only do
the flares enhance the width at the
waist, but the belt is caught with two
immense pink roses to give color and
brilliancy to the tan surface.
The blouse is merely a braissiere of
satin with fitted shoulder piece of
pale brown chiffon which hangs in a
long panel 1ooped under at the back.
