THOSE WHO LOVE US BEST
JUST TAKE US FOR GRANTED
An Aerthought Girl Who Was Acays Asked to Ride
in a Fluver When There Was Large Car in the
Boys Fathers Garage

would, perhaps, IL you are a woman,
be like giving up your best woman
friend because she did not use her
best dishes when you came to lunch.
You might have known for fact
she used them the Sunday before when
the Joneses came for their annual
visit.
THANK goodness for women who do
l. not use their best dishes when we
drop in for a friendly meal! 1t takes
time to fish all the gold and white
china flnery from its stately home In
the mahogany cabinet. And oh, the
care one must take in washing UP
afterward! 1t takes persuasion to
wheedle the big car from father. And
oh, the tearing out you get later IL
1t blows shoe while under your
gentle auspices! hope the little girl
who wrote for advice before is read
ing this column today because 1
would like to emphasize upon her the
fact that those who love us best take
US for granted. We may rail against
1t once in a while. but in the long
run, like our good comfortable shoes,
we like II that way best.
Our friends understand us and We
understand them. II the floor Of the
car is a bit greasy. well so be IT,.
If there is a chip out of the blue ana
white breakfast dishes Aunt Susie
gave us for our wedding present. well
so be 1t again. Dear knows. there
are enough of strangers in the world
before whom we must appear in our
best bib and tucker. 1t would be a
dreary world indeed. little girl who
rides in a flivver. il we had to be
dressed up all the time.

IN good style this spring. An attractive
dress this year is made with n long
stra'ght not necessarily narrow, skirt
trimmed with several rows OF black silk
Drald quite close together. The waist
should be made in the style that is most
becoming to YOU If YOU have special
style. The STYLE in fashion now Is the
long. stranSht line with the waist cut
long enough to form the girdle. 1t
might be becoming, and II would surely
be practical, to have the waist of your
dress made as short jacket with the
belt attached. so that later in the season
you can wear n white waist under II and

Approves Of Deyilish Dick

Dear Cynthia-As a reader OF your
column every evening. | ran across a
letter signed Devilsh Dick. ] must say
that Devilish Dick is quite correct about
not marrying the girl with whom they
do not travel"
You don't have to marry n dried
apple" to make her stay at home and do
nousework while you men are away
during the day. / have kept house for
over two years and can honestly say
that when II comes time for n good time
such as dances, theatre or any other
sport, i am there. and can dress up just
as well as these parlor beauties. So,
boys. don't think, because you marry a
sensible girl YOU must pick out dried
apple, because you surely will get left.
when man returns from a days work
he wants his wife at home and not at a
moVing-picture show or else out tramp
ing the streets. | agree with Devilish
Dick saying that his idea of wife is
one who will be a companion or mate
and will be ready for good time when
daily duties are through
girl such as Dick speaks of will
surely make good wife. wish YOU
iuck and say 80 to II Dick. old boy and
] wish YOU success.

really happening in the oven.
The baking time was divided into
periods, as follows: First quarter,
the cake dough was heating through
and rising. Second quarter, the
cake, having risen its full height
and the heat having set the cell
walls, the cake starts to brown.
Third quarter, the baking progresses
to the finishing point. Fourth
quarter, reduce the heat to a very
slow oven. This causes the cake
to shrink away from the pan and
thoroughly cook in the center.
Tests for Cakes
The cake may be tested with a
clean brown straw or splinter or
toothpick, or, as the baker does.
by pressing firmly in the center of
the cake with two fingers. If the
cake is firm reduce the heat and
bake for ten minutes longer.
Now, keep in mind the fact that
with all cakes containing shortening,
eggs and sugar the average oven
heat will need to be a very mod
crate one, not more than 800 to 325
degrees Fahrenheit. The use of an
oven thermometer will amply repay
the home baker. Forty-fve to fifty
five minutes is the usual time allow
ance for a sponge cake. The size
and shape of the pan determines
the time. Allow twenty minutes for
a layer cake; twelve minutes for a
jelly roll; fifteen to eighteen minutes
for cup and small mold cakes; forty
to siXty-five minutes for pound cake
mikes, while loaf cake containing
fruit, nuts or chocolate will fire.
quently require seventy minutes.
And keep this we'll in mind: Great
haste and a hot oven are the con-
tributing factors of most failures.
Now, word or two about the
utensils, which are used for mixing.
A bowl with sloping sides and a
wooden spoon are preferred by en-
perts. Gone are the days Of cheap
eggs and butter. These commodities
must now be used very carefully. A
recipe in the days Of long ago, be-
fore high prices, that read some
thing like this:
one cupfui OF sugar.
Fire or sir eggs,
one cuptW Of fo'o',
Little grated rind of lemon,
one tablespoonful of lemon juice
Etc, etc.
for making sponge cakes, would to-
day prohibit many of us enjoying
this delicious cake. The English
Queen was a thrifty housewife and
was well versed in economies. In
fact, she was the founder Of sew
eral schools for economy in her
kingdom, and in order that the good
people would be stimulated to a
keen interest she frequently had
these recipes made up for the royal
household. The British Queen was
a splendid cook, and she was most
proud of this recipe, which was her
own. She placed in a bowl
one cupfW Of sugar,
YoHS Of three eggs,
Grated riad OF one-gu0rter lemon.
one tablespoonful OF lemon juice,
and then cream this with a wooden
spoon until the mixture turned a
pale lemon color. This usually re-
quired about twelve minutes. Now
